Chapter 261 The Black-haired Snake King's Life-or-Death Decision
"Being stuck here all this time is quite pitiful!"
Huo Ling was quite sentimental, and for a moment she felt sorry for the snake king trapped in the wall.
Cheng Feng also felt sorry for it, so he spoke softly:
"Yes, so I plan to help it end this endless prison sentence."
The women remained silent, each trying to put themselves in the Black-haired Snake King's shoes.
Will they fight back desperately, or will they let others end their lives?
Everyone has a different answer; some might shout, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"
What do I care about descendants? My own survival is the most important thing.
Some people might see this as an opportunity to free themselves from so much responsibility.
Having others make choices for you is also a kind of relief.
"Forget it, I'm naturally soft-hearted, so I'll ask for your opinion."
If you choose to let me kill you, then let your descendants cross the swarm of snakes and come here.
If you choose to stay alive, let them hide, and I won't kill you.
After being exposed to radiation from a meteorite, the black-haired snake mutated, and this ordinary small snake was able to retain human memories.
Needless to say, this snake king is even more amazing. If you gave it a voice, it could probably give a lecture that would be better than any university professor.
After saying that, Cheng Feng told Jingjian Ahan to stop fighting with the black-haired snake.
The group remained silent and waited quietly.
Everyone wanted to know the Black-haired Snake King's choice, and the women vaguely saw their own past selves reflected in it.
A restraint that seems easy to break free from can actually keep a person firmly trapped in one place.
They saw humanity in this giant snake.
Time passed slowly, and a few minutes later, Cheng Feng sighed.
He had already perceived the serpent king's choice through the Pure Vision Agama.
Soon, a large swarm of black-haired snakes crawled over the Pure Land Āgama and eventually gathered not far from Cheng Feng and his companions.
They calmly faced the snake eyes on the wall, without attacking Cheng Feng and his companions.
They also did not take any action against the Pure Vision Agamas that were right next to them.
"Now that you've made your choice, I will keep my promise. You can rest assured."
It won't harm the snake eggs beneath you, and I'll give you a quick death.
The snake's eyes couldn't express emotions, but Cheng Feng still sensed its relief.
Having lived a life worse than death for a thousand years, it was long weary of it. If it were truly just a mindless snake, that would be one thing.
But it's different; initially, it carried the memories of many people.
Once it understood and incorporated human thoughts, the endless years of the ball cage became extremely agonizing.
Now it can finally be free.
"Then, let's say a final goodbye to this world. I should see you off now!"
As he spoke, a deep red flame ignited in Cheng Feng's palm.
The Undying Dragonfire burns life itself; it is unaffected by the laws of physics, has no temperature, and has no effect on anything other than its target.
Moreover, no matter how large the Black-haired Serpent King's body is, it will not cause it any pain.
In just a little while, it will return to dust.
After giving the Black-haired Snake King some time, Cheng Feng placed his fingertip on the Black-haired Snake King's eye.
The next second, a dreamlike, deep red dragon fire ignited from its body.
There was no pain, no sensation. After the firelight subsided, the eye in the gap disappeared, leaving only a wisp of ash drifting out.
It eventually landed on the large number of snake eggs that it had been protecting beneath it.
'Ding~'
The quest to eliminate the Black-haired Snake King is complete.
Reward: Perfect Memory Inheritance Method
Do you wish to collect it?
Ignoring the system's prompts, Cheng Feng turned to look at the black-haired snake intertwined with the Pure Vision Agama.
After the snake king died, they did not leave immediately, but remained stationary guarding the spot.
After a while, one of the black-haired snakes flicked its tongue, and then they all left along the way they came.
"Indeed, war only brings tragedy."
Huo Ling sighed and broke the silence.
Cheng Feng stroked her long, black hair, then silently opened his Boundless Demon Eyes and began to put away the Pure Insight Ahan he had released.
Although it was troublesome, no one found it boring.
If the Pure Vision Agama is left here, the Black Hairy Serpent will eventually disappear from the world completely, given the loss of the Serpent King.
After what had just happened, Cheng Feng decided to give these black-haired snakes the opportunity to reproduce and thrive.
This can be considered a small reward from the system rewards received from the Black-haired Snake King.
After a long while, once he was certain that the last living Pure Vision Agama had also returned to the Imaginary Space, Cheng Feng closed the spatial entrance.
"Things here are settled, it's time for us to move on."
After saying that, the girls followed Cheng Feng into the passage leading to the exit.
Based on the blueprints left behind by the previous group, Cheng Feng and his companions easily escaped the snake pit.
We arrived at a spacious platform.
The view here is expansive, with a large underground space in front of us.
Cheng Feng and the four women walked to the edge of the platform. Yang Xueli took out a flare, lit it, and threw it below.
As the light shone, the square ancient city below came into view.
Looking down from the platform at the legendary ancient city of Tongjing, they vaguely felt that it bore some resemblance to the Forbidden City.
The residential buildings on the outskirts are more exquisite the closer they are to the center.
At the center stands a magnificent hall, in front of which is a spacious square filled with exquisite sculptures of all sizes.
Of course, Yang Xueli and the others couldn't see that clearly, but this distance was nothing to Cheng Feng, who had his own eight-times magnification scope.
"It's truly magnificent. It was worth crossing the desert to find it here."
"Yes, it's a pity the camera can't capture anything in the dark, otherwise I really wanted to take a picture of this scene."
Yang Xueli, whose main job is at National Geographic magazine, deeply regrets this.
She had seen many magnificent buildings that were rarely seen, as well as many strange plants and animals.
However, due to the poor quality of the cameras at that time, it was impossible to capture the desired visual effect in dark environments.
Therefore, I missed many opportunities to record my experiences.
"There's a path down there, let's take a closer look at this ancient city!"
Chen Wenjin pointed to the path carved out along the cliff face on the left and began to speak.
Just as the girls were about to leave, Cheng Feng quickly stopped them.
"You guys are all made of iron! If you think about it, you've already missed two meals."
Let's stop and rest for a bit, have something to eat, and then explore the ancient city of Gutongjing.
Cheng Feng's words were like opening a coffin; the girls immediately realized they were starving.
My stomach started to protest one after another.
"This journey was so exciting, I almost forgot I needed to eat!"
Huo Ling rubbed her stomach, trying to soothe the protesting sounds inside.
Even though we've been married for a long time, it's still a bit embarrassing when it keeps barking.
Cheng Feng then retrieved the prepared ingredients from the imaginary space and started cooking with portable fuel.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Wu Sansheng and his group cautiously entered the cave.
They walked with trepidation, for the ground was littered with the corpses of snakes.
Most of them were black-haired snakes, and there were also some corpses of Pure Vision Agamas.
Even after a snake dies, its body may still retain a murderous intent; its dead head might suddenly jump up and bite someone.
"Third Brother, there's a fork in the road ahead. Which way should we go?"
One of the men carefully looked at his feet and asked in a low voice without turning his head.
Under the protection of several people, Wu Sansheng took out a silk scroll from his backpack, examined it for a while by the light of a flashlight, and then...
Pointing to the right, he opened his mouth and said:
"This way, don't rush, watch your step!"
