Just as 'Xiao He Shang' appeared, Yu Hao had already taken out his cross, and with his hands behind his back, he quietly pulled out the short sword hidden inside the cross, and then silently watched the development of the situation. In the tomb, however, it was him who did not reveal his true intentions.
When Sun Baozi's mouth was punished, Yu Ge seemed to have been scared silly and retreated a few steps. Yu Ge calculated the timing accurately, waiting for the red-haired man's attention to be on Wu Renyi, he suddenly pounced on the red-haired man, inserting the short sword in his hand into the red-haired man's throat.
To be honest, if it weren't for the red-haired man's attention being focused on Wu Renyao, and Yang Xiao had already started to slowly distract him, making him lose his concentration, this attack would have definitely not missed the red-haired man.
The short sword hidden in the cross was given to Hugo by a Chinese rich businessman when he was studying at a theological seminary in Britain. However, for the church where Hugo was located at that time, the shape of this short sword belonged to the style of paganism, and Hugo could not bring it with him. In the end, it was still the Chinese rich businessman who came forward and hid the short sword inside the cross.
After the red-haired man's throat was pierced, he didn't fall to the ground in convulsions with his whole body covered in blood as Victor Hugo had imagined. Instead, he seemed very calm, although blood continued to flow from the sword blade onto the ground. The red-haired man even turned around, looked at the foreigner who had stabbed him once, pointed to his neck and said: "If you want to kill me, at least cut off this head."
In the end, the red-haired man stretched out his hand and wiped it on Hugo's body. Then a "whoosh" sound was heard, and half of Hugo's body was engulfed in flames. The red-haired man then grabbed Hugo's collar and threw him towards Wu Rendie.
When Hugo's sword pierced the red-haired man's throat, Wu Renyi slightly shook his head, as if he had already foreseen this scene. Seeing Hugo flying over with a body of flames, Wu Renyi caught him with his empty hand. At the moment Wu Renyi touched Hugo's body, the fire that had just started suddenly went out. Fortunately, the fire was just starting to rise, and apart from being singed by the flames, Hugo's injuries were not serious.
At this moment, the red-haired man pulled out the short sword that was stuck in his throat. After seeing the blade of the short sword, he recognized its origin. The red-haired man hummed and gritted his teeth, saying three words: "Old thing..."
The red-haired man took a step towards Wu Renyue. In the instant before his foot touched the ground, the red-haired man's figure suddenly disappeared. By the time his foot landed, he was already in front of Wu Renyue, using the short sword that Rain had just inserted into his throat to slash at Wu Renyue's neck.
The red-haired man had a firm grip on Wu Renyu's hand, holding onto Ruge, while the other hand remained stuck in Xiao Heshang's body, unable to muster any strength to resist. Almost as he had expected, when Wu Renyu saw the red-haired man swing his sword over, he didn't make any move. Just as the sword was about to come down, the red-haired man suddenly let out an "ah" and dropped his sword, his body curling up like a large shrimp, both hands clutching at his chest, as he fell to the ground convulsing.
Wu Renyi looked at the red-haired man on the ground and sneered, saying: "Your neck was stabbed with a sword, did you hurt your brain? Your soul is in my hands, how dare you come over and take action. What are you doing? Are you coming to commit suicide?" After finishing speaking, Wu Renyi pulled his hand out from 'Xiao Heshang's chest. Only to see that his fingers were wrapped with a few strands of misty air, Wu Renyi waved his hand, and these strands of misty air dispersed in the air.
After the mist dissipated, the red-haired man's condition improved a bit. His body slowly straightened up, but he still didn't have the strength to get up and lay on the ground panting heavily.
After Wu Renyi's hand left Xiao He's body, Xiao He also fell backwards. Not long after falling to the ground, he opened his eyes, then closed them again, and said dazedly: "What's going on lately? I keep having these chaotic dreams..."
Perhaps thinking that the dream was a bit strange, Xiao He Shang opened one eye again, facing Wu Ren Yi's direction, and muttered to himself: "I can even dream of you in my dreams, what kind of evil thing have I done recently... Ah!"
Sun Baozi didn't wait for Xiao He to finish speaking, and came over to kick him. This one kick was enough to wake up Xiao Lao Dao, who stared at Sun Baozi with his eyes wide open and said: "Wasn't I dreaming?"
Sun Baozi said in a huff: "Slap yourself on the face and you'll know if you're dreaming or not."
Xiao He Shang was ruthless to himself, hesitated for a moment, and then slapped his own cheek with a loud "slap!" His mouth corner instantly swelled up high, staring at Sun Baozi and shouting: "I'm not dreaming! How did I get here? Who brought me here?"
Looking at Xiao He and Shang, Sun Baozi didn't bother to be polite with him either. He directly pulled up Xiao He and dragged him towards Yang Yu: "Don't worry about who brought you here, just save your life first, wait a while and see who comes to take you away."
Wu Renyi seemed to have not seen the little episode and was still looking at the red-haired man lying on the ground. After seeing him recover a bit, he spoke again: "Now that things are like this, can't we pave the way for your next life? You've bothered me for so many years, I should find you a good family to reincarnate into."
The red-haired man slowly got up, swaying dizzily as he looked at Wu Renyi, forcing a smile and saying: "Knowing I had so many chances to set you up, why did I have to choose this Liu Baozhen? Why did I have to lure you all here..."
He only said half of what he was going to say, then suddenly stretched out his hand and made a grasping motion towards the coffin in front of Liu Baozhen. Wu Renyi didn't stop him, but instead looked at the red-haired man with a hint of a smile, waiting to see his next move.
Liu Baozhen seemed to have pulled something out of the coffin, and the large coffin shook violently. Then, a black gas emerged from the coffin. Accompanied by the black gas, countless black poisonous snakes crawled out, one after another, like a fountain, emerging from the coffin. After they came out of the coffin, they began to move in all directions. Sun Pangzi and Xiao Heshang had never seen such an array, and were shocked on the spot, their faces turned white, and they climbed into the stone cave next to them where the coffin was placed.
These venomous snakes slithered everywhere, but didn't dare to get close to Wu Renyi and Yang Xiao. As soon as they were one meter away from them, they slithered off somewhere else. Most of the venomous snakes slid out through the outer crevices. Outside, Zhao Mingyuan and several others shouted loudly: "Snakes! Don't move it! They're all venomous - don't run down, there's no road below, run to the top of the mountain!" In the chaos outside, a mournful cry was heard, which grew fainter and fainter, as if someone had fallen off.
As countless venomous snakes emerged from the coffin, Wu Renyi's eyebrows furrowed. Wu Renyi was somewhat of a cleanliness freak and he genuinely detested this scene. Just then, the frequency of the venomous snakes emerging from the coffin began to slow down. Suddenly, Liu Baozhen who had been standing beside the coffin transformed into a cloud of smoke, and a suction force from within the coffin drew in the smoke. Then, another wave of countless venomous snakes burst out.
At this time, countless venomous snakes had crawled onto the red-haired man's body, wrapping him tightly in a bundle of snakes. Wu Rendie seemed to have seen through the red-haired man's intentions, but just as he was about to stop him, he saw that the surrounding snakes had twisted into a ball, his eyebrows furrowed into a knot, hesitated for a moment, and still stood in place, coldly watching the red-haired man utter a series of awkward words.
After this string of bytes was output, the red-haired man suddenly disappeared, wrapped in countless layers of poisonous snakes. Thousands of poisonous snakes collapsed instantly and fell to the ground. At this time, another astonishing scene occurred, and the poisonous snakes that were crawling wildly on the ground suddenly twisted violently again. In just a minute or two, these poisonous snakes stiffened their bodies and died piece by piece on the ground.
Wu Renyi looked at the coffin filled with dead snakes and snorted. At this time, Yang Xiao came over, stepping on the snake corpses with great care. He found the coffin lid that had been lifted by "Xiao Heshang" from among the snake corpses and used it as a shovel to clear out a path leading from here to the outside crack.
After Yang Xiaoqing finished cleaning up, Wu Renyi walked out with a expressionless face. Sun Pangzi and Xiao Heshang then crawled out from the stone cave, Xiao Heshang still muttering in Sun Pangzi's ear: "Little Pangzi, tell me, who brought me here? Why can't I remember anything? Did they drug me or knock me unconscious? What are they doing to an old man like me..."
At this time, Sun Pengzi couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Without any tools at hand, Sun Pengzi used his bare hands to dig out Rongguo from the thick layers of snake corpses. Rongguo's burns were not severe, and he hadn't been bitten by a venomous snake. However, it seemed that when the red-haired man threw him earlier, he had used some hidden strength, causing Rongguo's body to stiffen, unable to move. Sun Pengzi shouted several times towards the opening outside: "Director Wu, Old Yang, Rongguo is still unable to move on the ground, see who can come and help him break the seal?" He shouted several times but no one responded. Earlier, Wu Renyi had watched with his eyes wide open as the red-haired man escaped, probably he was also furious and didn't know where to vent, so let Yang Fang take the risk instead. Sun Pengzi had no choice but to carry Rongguo outwards with Xiao Heshang.
As they rushed to the crack, Sun Baozi suddenly remembered something and hurried back. He rummaged through the pile of snake corpses and pulled out a short sword shaped like a cross. Only then did he continue with Xiao He and Shang to carry Rain out of the crack.
