Chapter 34 The Snake King and the Working Snake
Perhaps the prophet foresaw future changes in writing, which is why the parchment books are all illustrated.
As Yang Xueli flipped through the pages, she said:
"These diagrams record the secrets of the Ghost Cave, which a high priest once wanted to explore."
So they created an eyeball-shaped object in an attempt to peer into the ghost cave.
But this attracted countless venomous snakes, and even the tribespeople were cursed by the ghost cave.
At this point, those who know the inside story will understand that this is the history of the Zaglama people.
This is also the source of the curse that befell Yang Xueli.
"Later, a prophet was born in the tribe, and through the prophet, a way to break the curse was found."
Yang Xueli did not continue talking about what came next.
This method has been passed down among the Zaglama tribe for thousands of years: finding the Muchen Pearl.
She flipped through several pages, only to find them all blank, until she finally saw the illustrations again on the last page.
"Here is another prophecy from the prophet: if the parchment falls to the ground,
A sandstorm will occur, submerging the ancient city of Jingjue! And the ancient city of Jingjue will never reappear.
At this point, Yang Xueli's expression turned solemn, and she gripped the parchment book tightly with both hands.
As everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and gravel fell from above.
"Everyone be careful, this place is about to collapse!"
Hu Bayi exclaimed in surprise and quickly pulled Professor Chen, who was about to fall, back to his feet.
In the sudden tremor, a large crack appeared in the wall, revealing a passageway inside.
"A way out has appeared! Everyone, go this way! Quick, I'll cover you at the back!"
Cheng Feng's words gave everyone a sense of direction amidst the chaos, and they rushed into the suddenly appeared tunnel.
After everyone had run inside, Cheng Feng stopped at the edge of the tunnel and shouted, "Run! Don't look back!"
During this time, Yang Xueli felt something and looked back while running.
They saw Cheng Feng waving to them, seemingly saying goodbye.
"Cheng Feng!"
She tried to stop, but soon a huge rock fell from above, completely blocking the passage.
Before Yang Xueli could think any further, Ye Yixin pulled her along and they continued running.
On the other side, after watching everyone leave, Cheng Feng turned around and ran back the way he came.
During this time, his eyes turned completely black, making him look both eerie and somewhat sacred.
Although the earth was shaking, it did not affect his speed in the slightest.
Occasionally, some pebbles would fall, but they were all sent to the imaginary space by the Ghost Eye before they even hit the ground.
Soon, Cheng Feng returned to the edge of the Ghost Cave, where the shaking was even more intense.
"My Jianmu coffin, you must hold on! Don't let the Ghost Cave get away with this!"
With that in mind, Cheng Feng used the protrusions and depressions of the cliff face to reach the platform below in a few leaps.
Looking up, one could see that the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue was already in imminent danger of collapsing.
Just as he was about to slide into the bottomless abyss, Cheng Feng immediately used his Ghost Eye.
At the critical moment, they successfully sent the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue into the imaginary space.
Before he could even feel joy, Cheng Feng hurriedly continued downwards.
He planned to take the underground river, which was the secret passage of Prince Gumo.
The temple is definitely impassable; it would be strange if it didn't collapse with this level of tremors.
Because of the violent shaking, the stone steps on the cliff were constantly falling off, and Cheng Feng was extremely careful with every step.
Sometimes he would accidentally step into the air, but he always managed to dodge it with his agility.
When he had no other leverage, he had a flash of inspiration and summoned a large number of Pure Vision Agamas to place under his feet for leverage.
Having navigated a perilous journey without major incident, Cheng Feng, with his Ghost Eyes and the bloodline of the Flame Emperor, is already a formidable opponent.
Back in the deep pit filled with countless treasures, Cheng Feng did not become too greedy.
They collected a few tons of treasures along the way, and continued on their way, climbing up the cliff while braving the falling rocks.
The passage was now filled with a large amount of rubble, and it was constantly collapsing as it shook.
But Cheng Feng had no way out once he got here, so he gritted his teeth and ran into the tunnel.
Fortunately, this is the entrance to the Queen Jingjue's underground palace, and the entire passageway has been specially treated.
Although there were falling rocks blocking the way, they were all thrown into the imaginary space.
In just three minutes, Cheng Feng traversed a long passageway.
Once outside, the gap in the broken stone was covered by rubble, which disappeared as Cheng Feng ran closer.
Finally, Cheng Feng returned to the dark river where he had come from.
However, compared to before, this place is now very lively.
Countless rats are thrashing about in the underground river, trying to climb to the other side and escape this underground space.
Cheng Feng didn't care about the disgust, took a step and jumped into the river, heading upstream through the pile of rats.
After swimming for about several dozen meters, a large number of Pure Vision Agamas suddenly appeared on the surface of the water around Cheng Feng.
Then Cheng Feng lay down on the water's surface in the shape of the character "太".
These Pure Vision Agamas surged into Cheng Feng's body, carrying him upstream along the underground river.
Under Cheng Feng's control, the swarm of snakes resembled a disciplined army; those that couldn't swim away did so on their own, leaving Cheng Feng's back.
It seamlessly connects with the snake swimming beside it, keeping the speed at the same frequency.
The working snake is so useful.
The underground river may be fraught with countless dangers, but none dare to provoke this enormous swarm of snakes.
So Cheng Feng didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
The snakes carried Cheng Feng across the waves. After an unknown amount of time, light suddenly began to appear in the dark underground river.
Upon closer inspection, Cheng Feng discovered that it was a small lizard with bioluminescent markings on its body.
After walking for a while, more and more of the glowing lizards appeared.
They crawled densely on the walls around the river, their concentrated light illuminating the surroundings.
Feng became more vigilant for the rest of the journey, guessing that the area where those sharp-toothed catfish lived was probably not far away.
Catfish have an amazing jumping ability, which is likely used to catch lizards on the cliff face.
Moreover, light is extremely attractive to catfish; the fire that Yang Xueli threw out attracted a large number of catfish.
Almost all the clues point to the fact that the sharp-toothed catfish likely feeds on these bioluminescent lizards.
The number of lizards exceeded Cheng Feng's expectations.
He felt as if he had traveled three or four kilometers with the snakes swimming vigorously.
This entire distance was under bright fluorescent light.
No wonder they can raise catfish so fat; there are so many of them!
After passing several hundred meters, the fluorescence gradually thinned out.
Cheng Feng knew that the sharp-toothed catfish was probably within reach.
The Pure Vision Agama also emits light, although it is different from the light emitted by lizards, but it is hard to say whether it will be attacked by catfish.
"Fortunately, I now have a large number of soldiers under my command, so I might not necessarily lose a large-scale battle against the catfish."
The Pure Vision Agama is a consumable item for Cheng Feng; he's not afraid of a war of attrition.
If Cheng Feng were to exert his full strength, he could even fill a large section of this underground river with the Pure Vision Agama.
