Chapter 120 A Thrilling Year of the Snake: The Mad Doctor and Poison Master Bravely Battles the Two-Headed Dragon
The moment Luo Qingci and her group stepped into the ancient tomb, a stench of decay and decay surged forth, like countless invisible hands desperately trying to burrow into their mouths and noses. Immediately afterward, a muffled roar exploded, the sound so powerful that the ground beneath their feet trembled slightly, as if the ancient tomb was about to be torn apart by this force.
"Grandma, what are we going to do! Judging from this commotion, we've run into a tough opponent. Are we going to die here?" The man in the golden mask was terrified, his face ashen, his legs as weak as boiled noodles. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, his hands clinging tightly to Luo Qingci's thighs like superglue, wailing at the top of his lungs, his voice sharp enough to pierce the night. His eyes were wide open like copper bells, filled with utter terror. His mask hung askew on his face, revealing half of his face completely bloodless, making him look exactly like an unlucky fellow possessed by an evil spirit.
Luo Qingci's face was full of disgust. Her delicate eyebrows instantly shot up. Without hesitation, she used all her strength to kick the golden-masked man away, spitting under her breath, "Look at you, so pathetic! With your cowardice, you're still dreaming of getting rich quick? I think you should just go home and sleep with your pillow!" Actually, her heart tightened. A guy who could let out such a terrifying roar was definitely not someone to be trifled with. But she was a madwoman, skilled in both medicine and poison. How could she be intimidated by such a small show of force? She took a deep breath, her brain racing, instantly devising a countermeasure in her mind. Her eyes, like cold stars in the night, were incredibly sharp as she vigilantly scanned every corner of her surroundings, not missing a single suspicious sign.
The thin man in black reacted with lightning speed. With a "whoosh," the dagger at his waist was drawn. He crouched low, his body slightly bent, assuming a defensive posture, his eyes wide open, not missing a single subtle movement. His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, but his eyes revealed an unwavering determination, as if declaring to the world that even if there were mountains of knives, seas of fire, or bottomless abyss ahead, he would never retreat a single step.
Just as everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, a dark shadow, accompanied by a pungent, acrid stench, shot out from the depths of darkness like a black cannonball. Upon closer inspection, they saw it was an enormous two-headed dragon. Its two massive heads were held high, its gaping maws opening and closing, sharp fangs dripping with nauseating, viscous venom, gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light, as if demonstrating to the crowd that this was its territory, not to be violated.
"Agh! We're doomed! That must be the guardian beast. We're completely finished today!" The golden-masked man screamed in terror, his voice distorted, sounding like a duck being choked. Like a frightened rabbit, he darted behind the skinny man in black, gripping his clothes tightly with both hands, his fingers turning white from the force, muttering incessantly. He looked as if the skinny man in black was his only lifeline in the world.
Luo Qingci's eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile of excitement mixed with danger curved her lips, like a bewitching firework blooming in the night sky. She thought to herself, "Perfect timing! Perfect for testing my newly concocted poison on you. Today, I'll show you what I'm capable of! This two-headed dragon looks intimidating, but before this poison I meticulously crafted over forty-nine days of seclusion, it'll have to obediently bow down and beg for mercy!" While rapidly calculating the best time to use the poison in her mind, she shouted loudly at the two-headed dragon, "Hey! Big guy, try this!" As soon as she finished speaking, she flicked her wrist, and the red liquid in a small bottle shot towards the two-headed dragon like a streak of fire cutting through the night sky, with unstoppable momentum.
The two-headed dragon seemed to sense a deadly threat. Its left head suddenly spewed out a cloud of dark green poisonous mist, which surged like a churning black cloud, aggressively engulfing the red liquid and attempting to neutralize the sudden attack. Seeing this, Luo Qingci's eyes instantly sharpened like knives. She thought, "Hmph, still trying to resist? Let's see how I teach you a lesson today!" She lightly touched the ground with her toes, and like a black phantom, she appeared before the poisonous mist in a flash. Her hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals, and she chanted incantations, as if summoning a mysterious power. The red poison spun rapidly within the mist, forming a red vortex that sucked the mist in whole, like a gluttonous little monster that could never be satisfied, swallowing the enemy's attack whole.
Startled by this bizarre and inexplicable turn of events, the two-headed dragon retreated repeatedly, its two heads simultaneously emitting angry and terrified roars. The sound seemed capable of shattering every stone in the ancient tomb, sending chills down one's spine. The golden-masked man peeked half his head out from behind the thin man in black. Upon seeing this scene, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground. He stammered, "Grandma, is this...is this something a human could do? It's like a god descending to earth to save us! From now on, if you tell me to go east, I'll never go west. I'll follow you wholeheartedly, without a single disloyalty!"
Luo Qingci turned around and glared at him fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to die, hurry up and come over and lend a hand!" After saying that, she quickly took out a bottle containing golden powder. With a graceful flick of her wrist, the powder "whooshed" and scattered, turning into a golden mist, like a group of golden elves, joyfully spreading towards the two-headed dragon.
The two-headed dragon writhed wildly in the mist, emitting agonizing howls that seemed to beg for mercy, pleading for the nightmare to end. Its two heads grew increasingly dazed, and its massive body began to sway unsteadily, like a drunken giant, staggering and on the verge of collapse. Luo Qingci seized this perfect opportunity, lightly touching the ground with her feet and charging forward like an arrow. A gleaming dagger appeared in her hand, its aim fixed on the two-headed dragon's neck. Her aura suggested she intended to instantly slay this arrogant beast and end this breathtaking battle.
Just as the dagger was about to pierce the two-headed dragon, its right head suddenly lashed out like a thick python, whipping towards Luo Qingci with a whooshing sound. Luo Qingci's reaction was terrifying; her body floated up as lightly as a willow catkin in the wind, skillfully dodging the fatal blow. She performed a beautiful somersault in the air, like an elegant swallow, landing steadily on the ground, a hint of annoyance flashing across her face: "This beast is too cunning, and quite troublesome! It seems I really can't deal with you without going all out today."
The skinny man in black seized an opening and charged forward swiftly from the side, his dagger plunging deep into the two-headed dragon's abdomen. The dragon, in pain, writhed wildly, flinging the skinny man in black away like a tattered sack.
The man in the golden mask watched the chaotic yet thrilling scene, his mind a jumble of conflicting emotions: "Should I go up and help? If I go up, I might get smashed to a pulp by this beast, and I'm still young, I haven't yet enjoyed the riches and luxuries of this world, the flowers and grass, the women on my left and right! If I don't go up, my grandmother will definitely throw me into the snake pit, making me keep company with those terrifying venomous snakes. Ugh, this is so annoying! Oh well, fortune favors the bold, maybe I'll survive and find some treasure!" After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made a huge decision, picked up a thick wooden stick from the ground, and shouted, "For the treasure, I'll risk my life!" Then he closed his eyes tightly and, like a martyr going to his death, charged towards the two-headed dragon.
Before he could even get close to the two-headed dragon, he was swept away by its swaying tail, and like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying with a "whoosh" and crashed heavily against the wall, letting out a pig-like scream: "Ouch, my butt! This is simply inhuman suffering! What sins have I committed to deserve this torment!"
Looking at his disheveled appearance, Luo Qingci was both amused and annoyed: "Are you here to help or to cause trouble? I think you're not here to fight the divine beast, but to become its prey!" With that, she pulled out poison again, spotted an opening in the two-headed dragon, and launched another attack. With her and the thin, black-clad man's combined efforts, the two-headed dragon gradually lost its strength, its body covered in dense wounds, and finally collapsed to the ground with a "thud," lifeless.
The golden-masked man scrambled to his feet, covered in dust and looking like a beggar who'd just crawled out of a coal pile. He dusted himself off, his face instantly contorting into a greedy grin: "Haha, I'm the best! Now that the divine beast is dead, the treasure is definitely ours!" With that, he dashed off into the depths of the ancient tomb as if his feet were greased, shouting, "Treasure, here I come! Don't let anyone else get there first! This time I'm going to make a fortune, marry a hundred wives, eat and drink the best food every day, and live like a god!"
Luo Qingci watched his retreating figure, shaking her head helplessly. She thought to herself, "That golden-masked man is quite the character. However, this trip to the ancient tomb isn't just about the treasure. Those shady forces behind it won't get away with it easily. I want to see what tricks you can pull. Daring to scheme under my nose, you'll pay a heavy price! Although I'm greedy, I acquire wealth ethically. Let others say what they will; I have my own yardstick for justice. Justice must be upheld, and I will never allow these dark forces to run rampant in the world!" With this thought, her eyes hardened, and she led the thin, black-clad man deeper into the ancient tomb. A thrilling battle against the dark forces had only just begun, its legendary curtain rising…
