Chapter 518 Fortunately I brought realgar powder
But the snake spirit was too fast and her attacks always missed.
Ah Xiang didn't dare to sit idle either. She took out some realgar powder from her bag and sprinkled it around, shouting, "Realgar drives away evil spirits, snake spirits, stay away, disperse!"
However, these ghostly glowing snake spirits did not seem to be afraid of the realgar powder and continued to swim towards them quickly.
While Chen Yile was fending off the other snakes, several snake spirits suddenly swooped over and bit his legs.
Chen Yile sensed the danger and quickly raised his foot to dodge, narrowly avoiding the snake spirit's attack. However, his movements became a little flustered, giving other snake spirits an opportunity to take advantage.
A snake spirit suddenly wrapped around Chen Yile's arm and opened its mouth to bite his wrist. Chen Yile was horrified and shook his arms hard, trying to shake off the snake spirit, but the snake spirit wrapped around him very tightly and was about to bite him.
At this critical moment, Dragonfly was quick-witted and stabbed the snake spirit with the peach wood sword. The snake spirit felt pain, let go of Chen Yile's arm, fell to the ground, twisted a few times and then stopped moving.
Chen Yile looked at Dragonfly gratefully and said, "Thank you very much, Dragonfly. Everyone, be careful and attack together. Don't give them the chance to surround us."
The three of them stood back to back, each using their own methods to engage in a fierce fight with the snake spirits.
The audience in the live broadcast room were watching anxiously, and the barrage of comments kept refreshing.
"Brother Chen, be careful, these snake spirits are too agile!"
"Come on, you must defeat them, it's too dangerous!"
After a hard fight, they finally eliminated some of the snake spirits, and the snake group's offensive gradually weakened. They seemed to realize that the people in front of them were not easy to deal with, so they began to retreat and disappeared into the darkness of the passage.
Chen Yile and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to be careless at all, knowing that these evil spirits might appear again at any time.
They rested for a while, treated their wounds, and then continued to walk deeper into the passage.
Chen Yile and the others continued to move forward cautiously along the passage.
The air around seemed to be filled with tension.
The walls of the passage were wet, and water droplets slid down the stone walls from time to time.
The ticking sound seemed particularly clear in this silent environment, making people feel more uneasy.
Chen Yile gripped the Tianshi Sword tightly, his eyes scanning the front vigilantly.
His face was filled with solemnity, and the sword still had traces of blood from the previous battle, revealing a hint of murderous intent in the dim light.
Qingting and A Xiang followed behind him, holding hands and snuggling up to each other.
The fear in their eyes had not yet faded, and their bodies were trembling slightly, as if the slightest movement would make them jump in fright.
The audience in the live broadcast room also held their breath.
The scrolling speed of the barrage slowed down, with only a few popping up occasionally.
"Brother Chen, you have to be careful. It seems there are a lot of dangers ahead."
"This is so eerie, it's scary just looking at it. Come on, Brother Chen!"
As we walked, square stone slabs suddenly appeared on the ground in front of us.
There are some strange patterns carved on the stone slabs, some of which look like distorted human faces, and some of which seem to be the outlines of unknown monsters, exuding a sense of weirdness.
Seeing this, Chen Yile hurriedly stopped and stretched out his hand to signal Qingting and A Xiang not to move.
He said softly, "Don't leave yet. This looks like a trap. Everyone, be careful."
Qingting swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother Yile, what should we do?"
Chen Yile frowned and squatted down to carefully observe the patterns on the stone slabs.
He muttered to himself, "There must be some secret to these patterns. Maybe if I follow the correct order, I can pass safely. But if I step on the wrong ones, I might trigger some fatal trap."
At this moment, a faint creaking sound came from the surrounding walls.
It felt like something heavy was moving slowly.
Everyone looked up and saw small holes slowly extending from the wall. A dangerous aura emanated from the dark holes.
The live broadcast room instantly exploded, with comments scrolling wildly.
"Oh my god, are they going to shoot? Brother Chen, run!"
"Oh my god, this mechanism is too scary, Brother Chen has to find a way!"
Chen Yile's heart also tightened, but he knew that panicking at this moment was useless.
He stood up and scanned the patterns on the stone slabs quickly, trying to find a pattern.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found that the eyes of those human face patterns seemed to be facing the same direction.
He had an idea and wondered if it would be safe if he walked in the order of the stone slabs indicated in this direction.
He gritted his teeth and said to Qingting and A Xiang, "I'll try it first. You guys step back. If something goes wrong, quickly find a place to hide."
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and carefully stepped towards the stone slabs pointed by the human faces and eyes.
Every time he took a step, he felt his heart in his throat. Fortunately, he did not trigger the mechanism and he walked across the stone slabs smoothly.
Chen Yile turned around and waved to Qingting and Ah Xiang, shouting, "Hurry, come here in the order I walked. Don't panic."
Qingting and Ah Xiang hurriedly did as they were told, but Ah Xiang was too nervous and her steps were a little messy. When she stepped on a stone slab, she accidentally stepped a little off the mark.
In an instant, a row of sharp arrows shot out from the small holes in the wall at an extremely fast speed, shooting towards them with a sound of breaking through the air.
Chen Yile's face changed drastically and he shouted, "Be careful!"
He brandished the Heavenly Master Sword and quickly blocked in front of Qingting and Ah Xiang, chanting: "The Heavenly Master Sword protects, all evils stay away, block!"
I saw a faint light on the Tianshi sword, and the sharp arrows shot into the light and bounced to the ground, making a "ding-dang-dang" sound.
Ah Xiang was so frightened that her face turned pale, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried, "Brother Yile, I...I didn't mean to do that. I was so scared."
Chen Yile gasped for breath and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay. Just be more careful next time. Let's keep going."
After finally passing this stone mechanism, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But they found that there were huge stone balls on the top of the passage ahead. The surface of the stone balls was covered with sharp thorns, which made people's scalp tingle just by looking at them.
The stone ball was tied with some iron chains and was shaking slowly, as if it would break free from the chains and fall down at any time.
Chen Yile looked up at the stone balls, frowning even more tightly. He said, "This is another troublesome mechanism. We have to find a way to stabilize these stone balls, otherwise we'll be finished if they hit us."
Dragonfly looked around and pointed at something like a handle on the wall next to him and said, "Brother Yile, look at that. Could it be related to this stone ball mechanism?"
