Chapter 2320 - 2319: Excavation
After pondering for a moment, Ling Feng dismissed the idea of a fire attack; he decided to force his way through!
With the Blade of the Apocalypse in his hand, he felt that jumping directly into the pit and using the blade’s aura to carve out a bloody path shouldn’t be an issue!
However, just then, he heard a low voice coming from a distant tree: "Brother, brother!"
Turning back, he saw Xiao Xiao waving at him, and Ling Feng was startled!
These two girls had previously called him by his name directly, calling him "brother" was a first!
Stepping over, Ling Feng asked, "What’s up?"
"Hide quickly, something is coming!"
Xiao Xiao pointed to the distance, her anxious little face flushed red.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng knew that this girl was quite urgent and tense, so he nodded and went around behind the tree.
Just as he concealed himself, a giant head suddenly emerged from the opposite bushes!
Ling Feng peered cautiously from behind the tree, and after seeing the massive head clearly, he immediately gasped!
What a huge head!
It was like a snake’s head, magnified ten thousand times!
The head, covered in scale armor, had two eyes larger than basketballs, glowing bright red with an eerie sheen.
A tongue several meters long flicked in and out repeatedly.
Just seeing this head made Ling Feng’s heart tremble with coldness!
If this were a snake, wouldn’t its body be hundreds of meters long?
Even bigger than Little Hei!
Just as he was puzzled, a giant body emerged following the long neck of that head.
Ling Feng was speechless.
This wasn’t a snake, but a monster with a snake’s head!
Looking at the body, the two short forelimbs, and the gigantic hind legs, if you took away the head, it looked like a Tyrannosaurus.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ling Feng’s eyes widened, staring blankly.
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu on the tree weren’t much better; the two girls were holding each other, gripping the branches tightly, not daring to move, even afraid to breathe heavily!
After the giant snake-headed monster walked out of the bushes, its two hind legs slowly moved, heading to the edge of the pit.
Ling Feng stared intently, wondering what this creature was up to?
Judging by the look, was it going to eat snakes?
No way? With a huge snake head, those snakes should be its kin.
Just as Ling Feng was puzzled, he saw the monster lower its head and then open its bloody mouth!
This mouth could swallow a car!
As the mouth opened, there seemed to be an attraction generated in the creature’s oral cavity, causing the surrounding air to flow and form a whirlwind!
Soon, the attraction grew stronger, and the snakes in the pit gradually floated up, eventually being sucked into the creature’s mouth!
"So it really is eating snakes!"
Ling Feng stared blankly, understanding that this pit was likely a hunting trap set by the monster!
It used something to lure the surrounding snakes, eventually turning them into its meal!
"Impressive, quite a trick!"
Ling Feng inwardly praised, almost giving a thumbs up.
The suction inside the monster’s mouth grew stronger, countless snakes rose and fell into its mouth, seeming to have quite an appetite, never stopping!
Ling Feng held his breath, thinking to himself, "This is such a powerful creature, it seems I can’t beat it!"
A few minutes later, the monster had almost sucked all the snakes from the pit, finally closing its mouth.
The whirlwind disappeared, and the creature raised its head, burping at the sky!
Ling Feng watched, speechless, thousands of snakes devoured just like that.
These were probably at least ten tons combined, and this creature could really consume!
Seeing the creature satiated and slowly moving back towards the bushes, Ling Feng stood behind the tree, quietly watching.
Only after the massive figure disappeared from view did he step out and rush to the pit’s edge.
Inside the pit, only a few snakes about a meter long remained, the others were gone.
The writhing mass of flesh seconds ago vanished, and Ling Feng thought to himself, this Dark Forest is indeed perilous!
After contemplating for a moment, he jumped down.
Ling Feng always felt there was something beneath the pit.
Without seeing for himself, he wouldn’t be content!
Following the slope to the pit’s bottom, those snakes tried to open their mouths, baring their fangs, but Ling Feng casually used the Blade of the Apocalypse to dispatch them.
The bottom of the pit was a layer of smooth earth, pressed down by so many snakes, naturally having this effect.
Standing on the ground, Ling Feng looked around before crouching down to start digging with his hands.
The earth was tightly pressed but didn’t deter Ling Feng’s persistence; within minutes, he had dug a dirt pit.
The earth below began loosening, spurring Ling Feng to dig more vigorously.
A few minutes later, Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu descended from the tree, glancing into the pit, both feeling a bit bewildered.
Then, Xiao Xiao softly asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"There’s likely something below, I’ll find out!"
Ling Feng had already dug half a meter deep but still hadn’t stopped.
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu exchanged glances before sliding down the slope.
Without Ling Feng saying anything, they jumped into the pit to assist with digging.
The three of them working together was naturally much stronger than Ling Feng alone, soon digging a new pit a meter deep.
Then, Ling Feng’s fingers touched something cold, immediately saying in a low voice, "There’s something!"
Xiao Xiao and Mu Mu held their breaths, eyes wide.
Ling Feng’s fingers drilled down, reaching beneath the object, then with force lifted it out!
The object was small, about palm-sized, covered in dirt, too dirty to discern its nature.
Ling Feng wiped it with his sleeve, clearing the mud, discovering a round disk made of unknown metal.
The surface was rusty and worn, the patterns corroded, its original shape unrecognizable.
"This..."
Seeing this, Ling Feng was dumbstruck.
So much effort for a useless scrap!
"Brother, if it’s a treasure, even in this state, once recognized by an owner, it can revert to its original form!" Xiao Xiao said.
"Recognized by an owner?"
Ling Feng was startled, then smiled wryly, "Is there any need for such a rusty piece of iron?"
"Just in case, trying won’t hurt!" Xiao Xiao replied.
Ling Feng agreed, nodded saying, "Alright, I’ll give it a try!"
Saying this, he used the Blade of the Apocalypse to cut his finger, squeezing a drop of blood onto the object!
Immediately, a flash of brilliance!
