Chapter 41 Uninvited Guest

The two of us retreated back towards the Snake Temple, while looking around cautiously. When we were about to reach the entrance of the ruined temple, suddenly another ferocious human-faced monster emerged from the grass next to me.

It let out an unpleasant roar, screamed, jumped into the air, and jumped directly onto my back.

Its fangs and sharp mouth hooked my shoulders, and it roared like a fierce ghost.

"Chu Yuan!"

I yelled in horror.

The sharp claws were pressed tightly against my neck. I didn't dare to turn my head and look, for fear that if I wasn't careful, the claws would directly pierce my throat.

I didn't even dare to take a step, I just felt that my heart was about to jump out of my chest, and then a strong sense of suffocation enveloped my whole body.

"Help...help!"

I almost collapsed and squeezed these two words out of my throat, but the feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger.

In my daze, I saw another black light suddenly appear, and then a shrill scream came from my ears, and something hit me from the back, and then slipped down again.

A strong, indescribable fishy stench hit my nose, and then my eyes suddenly darkened, and I didn't know what exactly happened.

Because of the extreme panic, I felt a strong and severe pain coming from my heart, and my spirit became trance-like.

In the haziness, I saw a handsome face that looked like it was coming out of the mist, and slowly leaned over. Then I vaguely felt that my mouth was wrapped in two sheets of warmth, and strands of cool air entered my body.

Immediately afterwards, my chaotic consciousness suddenly woke up, and my eyes widened.

Then, I saw Chu Yuan’s enlarged face, and he put a pill into my mouth with the tip of his tongue.

I instinctively wanted to resist, but he resisted without giving an inch.

"Swallow it, this is a quick-acting heart-saving pill!" Chu Yuan's voice rang in his mind.

I frowned and swallowed, and sure enough, within a moment, the strong suffocation feeling slowed down.

My heart, which seemed to be about to stop, started beating at this moment, and I slowly regained consciousness.

I regained some strength and stood up with difficulty. Just as I was about to speak, he interrupted me and said, "Go to the temple first."

This time I didn't hesitate at all, and the two of us quickly re-entered the snake temple.

Rush in and close the door tightly.

"Thank you!" I pressed my back against the door, leaned against the door and gasped, and said gratefully to him.

"Verbal thanks mean nothing."

He answered calmly, as if he had no idea at all about my thank you.

I didn't care what he wanted to hear, but after taking a breath, I looked around again with vigilance.

"There won't be that kind of monster in here, right?"

Chu Yuan focused his attention on the snake temple. After scanning it several times, he shook his head and said, "Probably not. There is a strong smell of snakes in the snake temple, and those things outside can't get in."

I said in shock: "Just now, I seemed to see that the monster was a human, but it was covered with scales and its mouth was full of fangs."

When I first saw the monster, it looked familiar to me, and I felt like I had seen it somewhere before, but I confirmed that I had never seen such a terrifying thing.

Chu Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "He is a person from your village."

I asked in surprise, "How could it be someone from our village?"

He turned his head to look at me and said meticulously, "They were bitten by snakes!"

When I heard this, I immediately took a breath of cold air, and then an idea flashed in my head, and I shivered all over.

I seem to remember why I felt so familiar when I first saw that monster outside.

"Wang Mazi!"

I couldn't help but murmur, this terrible thought came to my mind, and I suddenly felt chills running down my spine.

There was a snake disaster in the village a few days ago. Many people in the village were bitten by snakes, and almost a dozen people died.

But I haven't heard any news in the past two days.

"No, it's impossible."

I shook my head in denial. Even if I was bitten by a snake, how could I turn into a scaly, neither human nor ghost monster?

In response to my words, Chu Yuan just looked at me, but his eyes were full of pity.

"Are you scared?" He said calmly, "If you are scared, it's still too late to go back now."

Sure enough, grandma's death was not simple from beginning to end.

"Who is scared!"

I took a deep breath, tried to calm myself down, and said to him: "It was just too sudden, that's why I was scared."

"I hope so." He smiled faintly.

Next, neither of us spoke. After entering the Snake Temple, I picked up a flashlight and waved it around the temple.

However, as soon as I entered, the feeling of being spied on became even stronger.

In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of invisible eyes lurking.

"Chu Yuan!"

I called softly, and even though I deliberately lowered my voice, my voice seemed to be transported far away in this dead space.

The echo felt like someone called Chu Yuan in my ear again in a weird way.

"Don't talk yet!"

Chu Yuan reached out and covered my mouth, tilting his head and listening to something.

I don't know what's going on. Temples are usually very holy places. Once you enter, the Buddha's light should be shining everywhere. But when you enter here, the eerie and terrifying feeling is very strong.

Not only is there nothing in this snake temple, it is also extremely empty.

However, even though I am full of doubts now, I can't find out anything about it.

Chu Yuan stood behind me, telling me to be silent and covering my mouth with his hand.

His fingers pinched my cheeks and his palms covered my lips, as if I was kissing his hand.

"somebody is coming."

He suddenly turned his head, looked outside the dark courtyard door, and warned me: "Find a place to hide first!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at me deeply, and his whole body suddenly turned into a pool of black energy and penetrated into the snake bracelet on my wrist.

I was worried that it was someone from the Liu family, so I suddenly felt nervous. I looked around anxiously, and when I saw a big pillar next to it, it was pitch black behind it, so I quickly hid behind it.

As soon as I stepped into the pillar, the gate of the temple courtyard opened with a creak, and a shadowy figure appeared at the temple door.

After looking around twice, he walked in furtively and quietly.

I hid behind the pillar and looked up, and found that the figure was somewhat familiar.

But looking at the sneaky look, it doesn't look like the Liu family.

After entering the temple gate, I saw the figure looking around, then cautiously heading towards the temple.

The figure was sneaky and extremely cautious, for fear of disturbing something.

When I walked to the gate of the temple, I recognized him at a glance.

It turned out to be Zhang Xianren.
