”You have to calm down. We just escaped with great difficulty!” Yang Jie advised.
”I'm very calm right now, so don't worry, sister.” Su Qin then placed her hand on Yang Jie's.
Qiao Mu was moved by this scene. He then thought: If... This girl is right, but we are wrong?
Qiao Mu then thought that Su Qin was the core figure in the entire matter that he had determined. Zheng Huiling had already predicted that Su Qin would come back to the Small Snake Island and that the two flower serpentine scarves would also fall into Su Qin's hands. Furthermore, Zheng Huiling had promised that all of the problems would be solved.
Qiao Mu began to waver until he said, ”Okay, I will accompany you into the cave.”
Yang Jie looked at Qiao Mu, her expression slowly changed from surprise to relief, and after a while, she said: ”Then I will also come along, don't plan on leaving me here alone.”
Su Qin nodded her head heavily, her heart was filled with gratitude.
Yang Jie and Su Qin quietly picked up two of the Toad Man's wooden sticks from the ground, and then followed Qiao Mu back into the cave.
Qiao Mu understood that this was perhaps the most risky gamble in his life. His chances of escaping alive were extremely small, but seeing Su Qin's determination and courage, he felt a fiery energy pushing him forward.
After entering the cave, they were quickly attacked by the Eyeball Monster. Luckily, they were well-prepared, Qiao Mu took the lead, wielding a blade in his hand, he cut down a large number of Eyeball Monster Worms, while Yang Jie and Su Qin used a wooden stick to assist from the side. By the time they reached the fork in the road, the worms had realized that the enemy was not easy to deal with and retreated back to the top of the cave.
After getting rid of the monster bugs, they did not stop and continued to move forward. As they expected, Su Hong was still standing at his original position, and when he saw that they had returned, he revealed a sinister and terrifying expression.
Su Qin once again faced Su Hong. This time, her expression was calm, and she slowly walked forward.
Qiao Mu and Yang Jie looked at each other. They knew that the most crucial moment had arrived, and that they could only leave it to fate.
”Dad.”
Su Qin stood in front of Su Hong, creating a huge difference in height between the two of them.
The father and daughter pair looked at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.
”Dad, I'm Su Qin. You recognize me, right?”
Su Hong's body slightly trembled, and his eyes instantly filled with tears.
After a long while, Su Hong's face suddenly twisted, he gritted his teeth and raised his steel blade, aiming straight at his neck.
Su Qin had no intention to dodge. Her heart was as calm as still water as she quietly closed her eyes and called out softly, ”Father … ”Father …”
Su Hong had already placed the steel blade on Su Qin's neck, causing him to feel a bone-piercing coldness.
The most fearsome scene was about to unfold. Yang Jie laid on Qiao Mu's chest, unable to bear to watch.
Although it was just a short moment, a lot of things suddenly flashed through Su Qin's mind. She remembered the times when she was young when her father took her out to the beach to play, how her father often made her sit on her knees to play, how her father told her stories before she went to bed, how her father carried her to the hospital when she was sick, how he took her to school no matter what weather or rain, how he accompanied her to school on her bike for the first time, how they took pictures together, how her father always gave her various birthday presents. In the end, she also thought of something that she had often said when her sister Su Miao was just born:
”Father, mother, Su Qin, Su Miao, we are a family.”
At that moment, Su Qin just blurted out these words, and just as Su Hong was about to make his move,
Immediately after, Su Hong's entire body violently trembled as she continuously roared. After a series of explosions, he once again looked at Su Qin, her eyes becoming extremely blurry. He then slowly squatted down, with an extremely pained expression, he finally spat out two words.
”Su …” ”Xin …”
In the next moment, an earth-shattering sound came from inside the cave. The green water inside the pit slowly fluctuated, and soon formed a whirlpool. After that, rocks and stones continued to fall down from the ceiling. Strong gales were howling inside the cave, and not only the cave, even the entire Small Snake Island was shaking violently.
”It's an earthquake!” Yang Jie shouted in panic.
Qiao Mu held Yang Jie tightly. In the chaos, he took a glance at the crater and noticed that Zhao Zhiyou's eyes were slowly opening. The armor on his body gradually cracked, revealing pieces of rotten green muscles.
Qiao Mu looked at Su Hong, then looked at Zhao Zhiyou, and finally understood.
Zhao Zhiyou was angry! He was truly angered, and when the scene of Su Hong regaining consciousness and stopping his attacks on Su Qin appeared, he was once again betrayed, completely betrayed!
Zhao Zhiyou released loud sounds again and again, the cave rumbled and shook continuously. Qiao Mu even felt that the cave was about to collapse. In a moment of desperation, he quickly pulled Yang Jie and Su Qin up and retreated to a corner. On the other side, all the Toad Man outside the cave rushed into the cave after being summoned by Zhao Zhiyou, surrounding Su Hong completely.
Su Hong used his sturdy physique and the steel blade in his hand to quickly kill off a few Toad Man s. However, the Toad Man had the advantage in numbers and he was sick of using shovels and wooden sticks in his hands. Su Hong was also suddenly beaten up by the Toad Man who was besieging him until his entire body was covered with wounds.
Seeing Su Hong in a difficult situation, Su Qin almost lost his mind and wanted to rush over to help, but he was pulled back by Qiao Mu.
After both sides fought for a while, it was Su Hong who finally became the victor. He killed all of the Toad Man and also paid a painful price with green blood and wounds all over his body. Just as Su Hong was about to collapse, the strange worms in the ceiling suddenly shot out like lightning and instantly covered his entire body. One after another, black thorns deeply stabbed into his skin and flesh, causing Su Hong to immediately let out a sorrowful cry. In the midst of his pain, he saw the bonfire on the ground at a glance, and then he jumped into the fire …
At the same time, Zheng Huili, who was lying lifelessly in the deep hole in the Flower Snake Village, heard the heaven-shaking earth-shaking rumbling sounds accompanied by countless of broken stones falling down. She knew that the cave was about to collapse and that everything might end soon.
She seemed indifferent, and only held onto Zhou Yang's body that was just dragged out of the stone pit tightly. As if she was waiting for fate to arrange things, she closed her eyes …
On the other side, Su Hong had jumped into the flames. Su Hong rolled on the ground in pain. When the flames extinguished, he was also at his last gasp.
, Qiao Mu, Yang Jie walked over to Su Hong's side. Su Qin was in extreme pain and his face was covered in tears. She gently touched Su Hong's burnt face and heard the sound that Su Hong was trying to squeeze out.
”Xin …” Xin... You... Come... ”It's done …”
Su Qin could no longer endure it and began to cry while leaning on Su Hong's chest that was full of green blood and rotten flesh. Only Qiao Mu suddenly noticed a bizarre scene.
As he approached the pit, he saw that the green water had completely disappeared. It was obvious that the green water had flowed elsewhere due to the earthquake, so he was able to see the environment at the bottom of the pit clearly. At the bottom of the pit, however, there were all sorts of strange green plants, which were like tentacles, emitting a faint green light. Qiao Mu looked down and was suddenly enlightened. He thought to himself, ”Isn't this the origin of everything?” The special substance in the lake water was mostly these rare plants that had fused with Zhao Zhiyou's and Tian Yu'er's resentful corpses. Not only did they turn these two into Giant Corrupt Corpses, they even released a poison that contained special powers …
Atop the round stone in the hole, Zhao Zhiyou's Giant Corpse was slightly moved, following that, the upper half of its body slowly sat up, and when it sat upright, it slowly opened its eyes.
Qiao Mu, Yang Jie, and Su Qin were so frightened that their faces turned pale while Qiao Mu retreated. Just then, Zhao Zhiyou turned his neck and faced them, revealing an evil and strange smile.
”It's awake! It's completely awake!” Yang Jie shouted in panic.
Qiao Mu protected Yang Jie but Su Qin still could not let go of him. The cave was gloomy, as if a catastrophe was coming.
Unknowingly, Qiao Mu caught a glimpse of the bonfire on the ground. Because of the large amount of green blood mixed within Su Hong's body, the fire had turned green and a ball of faint, burning green fire was burning.
Qiao Mu's heart skipped a beat as if he had realized something. He looked around and found that the cave was covered with branches and leaves. There were some strange cave plants in the corner of the cave. Most of these plants had branches and leaves, and after the strong wind just now, the branches and leaves had all been blown away.
Seeing this, Qiao Mu suddenly thought of what Zheng Huiling had said to the other Flower Serpent Wipe: The Black House is full of leaves, green fire burns, Heaven's Eyes open, and everything is over.
