1563 The Second Blood-red Orb (1/2)
There was no escape in the face of death.
Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin had their eyes closed, for they could do nothing but accept this their unchangeable fate.
The rest of the group were in despair as well. Although it was Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin who were the ones about to die, the passage was blocked enabling nobody from escaping as well. This would cause them to also share a similar fate.
”Huh?”
But something completely unexpected happened.
The Blackwater Mystical Snake's opened it's mouth and stopped abruptly jsut as it was above Long Zishan and Liu Xuanxin's head. It's mouth suddenly snapped shut. The viper then turned away and slid to the space behind the jade door where it came from.
”Wh… What happened?”
Everyone was stumped. Had the Blackwater Mystical Snake gone insane? One moment it was trying to kill everyone, and the next, it turned around and left them alone.
”Could there be something behind the jade doors that's important to the Blackwater Mystical Snake?” Zhou Daoxian guessed.
No one replied because the rest of the group were still in shock.
Long Zishan muttered, a furrow in her brows, ”Could it be Chen Zhufeng?”
”Sifu, what are you talking about? What happened to Chen Xiaobei anyway?” Liu Xuanxin asked worriedly.
Long Zishan said nothing, her feisty eyes scanning the darkness behind the jade doors.
That was the place where the Blackwater Mystical Snake hibernated. Perhaps there was something in there that was especially important to it!
Perhaps it was due to that thing being disturbed, that the snake gave up the fight on this side and rushed back through the jade door.
As for who might be the one disrupting that important thing, Long Zishan's mind went straight to Chen Xiaobei.
In the space behind the jade door, it was exactly as Long Zishan had predicted.
The Blackwater Mystical Snake had a reinforced power, and was unleashing an unsurpassably frightening energy. If Chen Xiaobei had just sat, watched, and did nothing, Liu Xuanxin, Xiang Yu and the others would die.
That was why he deiced to take action and fly into the jade doors.
”I found it! There is a formation after all! It's giving the Blackwater Mystical Snake a boost of strength!”
With the help of the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes, Chen Xiaobei was able to locate the formation.
”I just need to destroy the formation core, break the formation and the Blackwater Mystical Snake's strength will plummet. Then, when the leaders fight the viper again, they will be able to beat it!”
Chen Xiaobei was very calm as he searched the place. He found, in the darkness, a third jade door, and the formation core nearby it!
”Break!”
Chen Xiaobei transformed back into human form, and used the Chaos Blood Sword to stab the formation core!
”Awesome! Another blood-red orb!” He extracted the orb, eyes bright with excitement. ”It looks like there might to be more of these blood-red orbs in the other parts of the tomb. If I'm lucky, both my Chaos Blood Sword and Blood God's Deity-killing painting can evolve!”
