Chapter 536 Jiao
Chapter 536 Jiao
Looking at Lu Beichen, Jing Nan's eyes gradually became firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to surpass you... and come back alive."
It was a rare sight to see Lu Beichen smiling at him, and Jing Nan's expression paused slightly before he quickly looked away.
"Beichen, be careful. Life is the most important thing. If things really don't work, we'll ask for support. We'll wait for you to come back." Cheng Guohua was extremely serious at this moment, completely different from his usual playful self.
Li Guodong hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to say to Lu Beichen, "There aren't many people I admire, and you're one of them! I was wrong before! I apologize, and I hope you can come back alive."
Lu Beichen was not too surprised. After the plan was leaked, just in case, he obtained everyone's information and had a certain understanding of Li Guodong.
He was in a very awkward position. Sometimes it was not his own will, but there were big hands behind him pushing him. Li Guodong had no identity or background. In the army, there were countless regimental commanders like him. He wanted to go further, but when he had the desire, some things became uncontrollable. He became a chess piece in the hands of others, and whether he liked it or not, he had to follow the instructions from above.
He was very tired over the years until he met Jing Nan. People's hearts are complicated, and Jing Nan is the person with the least desires he has ever met. He is capable but never clings to anyone. After his persistence, he finally gained Jing Nan's recognition and the two became brothers.
Li Guodong seemed to see Jing Nan's former self in Lu Beichen. After this cooperation, he completely let go of his grudge against Lu Beichen.
"I will!" Lu Beichen nodded slightly at him.
After leaving the three people for a distance, Lu Beichen put on the invisibility cloak, then took out the white teleportation robe and teleported to Fu Ling.
At this time, Fu Ling was staring at the giant python's nest in front of her in a daze. She hesitated for a long time and couldn't take a step forward. She really didn't want to deal with snakes, especially such a big snake.
Just as I was thinking about how to eliminate them without facing them head-on, I saw a figure appear next to me.
Fu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to do it himself.
"Hubby, you came just in time."
"Wife, thank you for your hard work." Lu Beichen felt distressed. Originally, these things should have been handled by him.
"I'm fine, but you'll have to clean up the mess in this cave on your own... It's full of giant pythons, so be prepared. These are much bigger than any we've ever seen... Oh well, I'm getting goosebumps. Honey, it's getting late, I have to go back to dinner, or my family will be worried."
"Okay, go back quickly, leave this to me. Have a good rest when you get back, and I'll take care of the rest." Lu Beichen's voice was extremely gentle, and he stroked the top of her head with his hand. He wanted to touch his wife's cheek, but she was wearing a gas mask on her face, so he could only settle for the next best thing.
"That won't do. This is the first time I've seen such a large underground palace. I need to study it carefully. I'll be here after dinner. Be careful. Also... remember to wear a gas mask. I don't think the smell in here is unpleasant, is it?"
Lu Beichen nodded gently: "Yeah, it does smell bad."
The air was filled with an indescribable smell. In addition to the smell of snakes, there was also the smell of feces. As for the other smells, Lu Beichen was not sure what was emitting it, but it smelled bad.
After Fu Ling reminded him, he took out a gas mask from his space ring and put it on.
Fu Ling didn't say anything else. He waved at him and disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he was already in the room.
I looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening. I entered the boundary bead to wash my body, changed into clean clothes and then left the room.
It was also a coincidence that it was dinner time, and Tian Youhua and others were bringing the food to the dining room.
Seeing that she looked good, Yuan Chenghua felt relieved: "You got up just in time."
"Haha, I feel refreshed after a good sleep. I'm also hungry. Why haven't you eaten yet so late tonight?"
"Waiting for you! I delayed the dinner intentionally just to see if you could get up. You always fall asleep when you're tired, but I don't want to disturb you from resting. Seeing that you haven't gotten up yet, your Aunt Tian has saved your food. Now that you're up, let's bring it all out and eat together." Mother Lu said with concern.
"Haha, Xiao Zhao and the others have already gone to get it." Tian Youhua said with a smile.
Fu Ling smiled and said, "Let me see what we're having for dinner today~"
After dinner, Fu Ling went back to her room to catch up on some sleep, saying she hadn't rested enough. Naturally, no one had any objections, and even Sanbao was sensible enough not to bother her.
When I returned to the room, I didn't turn on the lights and locked the door.
She didn't rush to teleport, but flashed into the boundary bead and changed into a new set of clothes. She felt disgusted with the clothes she wore before, so she just rotted them away. It was just a waste of two talismans. However, she was not short of this thing. Not long ago, the Fairy in the Painting gave her hundreds of them. She was used to being frugal, so even if she had a lot of things on her, she didn't waste them and made full use of them.
He pasted an invisibility talisman and a curse-breaking talisman on the new coat, took out a new gas mask and put it on. After he was ready, he teleported to Lu Beichen's side.
The battle between humans and snakes has ended. Lu Beichen is considered to be very tough. He did not try to attack secretly, but directly confronted the giant pythons head-on. The bodies of these giant pythons are extremely hard, and ordinary weapons are no match for them. So Lu Beichen took out the laser sword at the beginning and chopped the giant pythons like melons and vegetables.
By the time Fu Ling arrived, the battle was almost over.
Looking at the snake corpses all over the ground, Fu Ling exclaimed, "Wow!" Unfortunately, she had no interest in snake meat, especially snakes dancing with dead bodies. She had no interest at all.
Along the way, Fu Ling used corpse powder to destroy the bodies and cover up all traces. Since it was not a product of this era, there was no need to keep it. Clearing it away was the best way.
Lu Beichen killed the last giant python with the Starlight Sword and looked up at Fu Ling.
Fu Ling smiled and joked, "I'm going to get rid of all the snake soup you love, you won't mind, right?"
"I've quit..." Lu Beichen looked at the giant python's corpse on the ground, his eyes full of disgust.
These giant pythons can no longer be called snakes. Their features are somewhat strange, especially the two bulges on their heads and the scales covering their bodies, which are beyond the scope of snakes.
"These giant pythons... no, they were called 'jiao' in ancient mythology. They're only one step away from becoming the legendary dragons. The bumps on their heads are probably horns. Maybe if we give them time, they might actually mutate." Fu Ling explained, seeing Lu Beichen staring at the snake's head in a daze.
"You mean these pythons are very likely to transform into dragons?" Lu Beichen was surprised.
"It's not impossible. This place is full of strangeness. How about this, when things are over, I will ask Grandpa Hua. He is knowledgeable and may be able to give us a reasonable explanation."
