He tried to open his eyes with all his might, but soon his eyes were covered by an incredibly thick mass of something. It was hot, sticky, and slightly disgusting, but it made Hua Qianlou feel unusually comfortable. He tried to move it a few times and felt weak.
Even though he had just recovered a bit of strength, Hua Qianlou was still unable to move his body. However, he was certain that he was still alive. Furthermore, he seemed to be living inside that huge snake's stomach.
The ninja's blade had pierced through its chest, but for some reason, it did not seem to die. Furthermore, after sinking into the lake, it was actually swallowed by a strange long snake, and before it was devoured, the snake did not crush its body. Or rather, when the snake was eating, it had swallowed it alive, so there was no need to chew.
However, this snake was too strange. It actually had a red crown and claws. Could it be that it wasn't a snake, but some other strange creature?
According to the memories of Hua Qianlou and Chu Yunfei, it seemed that the legendary python would turn into a dragon after cultivating to the Exquisite Realm, and the dragon would become a spiritual and powerful creature. It was said that the dragon could turn into a true dragon after cultivating!
Of course, all of this was just a legend. Some of the things recorded in the wits of some strange novels didn't have much credibility. However, based on Hua Qianlou's memories of this strange snake's appearance, he could only associate it with the legendary Flood Dragon.
What he was most worried about right now was whether he would be digested by it. The feeling of being tightly bound reminded him of the disgusting blood-red and smelly stuff in the belly of the giant snake. These things should have a strong corrosive ability, being able to digest all the food that came in, and if he stayed here for too long, would he be digested and corroded?
He now knew that he was still alive, and since he was not yet dead, his instinct to survive was once again activated. In his mind, he was constantly thinking of a way to escape, and after many tries, he was now completely in a narrow space, squeezed by the monster's stomach, unable to move at all, and without any ability to struggle at all.
He knew that what he needed the most now was to recover his physical strength, to heal his wounds. Otherwise, if he continued to struggle aimlessly like this, he would eventually die of exhaustion. The only hope he had was to recover enough strength to leave his abdomen before his body was corroded.
After calming down, Hua QianXun silently followed the breathing technique of the Shaoyang Scripture, and gradually, he completely entered the state of cultivation, reaching an unprecedented level of clarity. He forgot the passage of time, and also forgot the danger he was in.
Time passed second by second, and Hua Qianlou was completely immersed in his cultivation. He did not know how time had passed, nor did he remember where he was at the moment. He only felt comfortable and at ease, and he could faintly feel that the fatal wound on his body was no longer as painful as it was before.
In less than an afternoon, the news of the murder of Spiritshadow by the Swan Lake had already spread throughout the city. With the help of various media outlets, Playboy Hua Qianlou had been repaid with the murder of Ghost Shadow by the internet, and the news of him being killed in the lake had spread like wildfire, because the crime was involved, and the deceased was also the young master of the Hua family. As the matter was strange, the Public Security Bureau immediately issued an order to solve it no matter what, and according to the narration of the witnesses present here, the murder case was not done intentionally.
Most of them were well-received, and the details of Hua Qianlou's' death 'was quickly made available on the internet. When the citizens found out that this person had committed countless disasters at such a young age, they all thought that death was a form of retribution, and some people also believed that although Hua Qianlou had harmed quite a few girls, he was still an eighteen year old youth, and the punishment for his death was too heavy for him.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed, but the blood incident at Swan Lake was not solved, and people had gradually forgotten about it as well, and Hua Qianlou's father, Hua Hua Hua Yun, and her mother, Shao Meilin, were still immersed in the pain of losing their son. Especially Shao Meilin, she had just given birth to a son of her own, and now that her precious son had died like that, how could she not be sad?
Other than her parents being sad for him, there was nothing that was saddest for Tong Mengyao. She had been secretly in love with him for more than two years, and now that they had gotten to know each other, and had just fallen in love, it just so happened that she had died. That day, she had immediately asked the people who were playing by the lake for help, and it was also with her efforts that her grandfather had used his powerful network of connections to mobilize the rescue and scout teams, but he was still unable to save her life.
