The villain's daily corpse collection

Chapter 85: Negotiations in the Underground Palace

The giant snake's head lay in front of everyone, its tongue sticking out. When it opened its mouth slightly, one could see green sticky liquid on the tips of its fangs. One could tell with one's feet that it was highly poisonous.

"Play with you? I don't have time right now."

Wang Wei glanced at Hun Dun, and Hun Dun stepped forward stealthily, "Sister Liu Yinliu, forget about your kindness. The master has something important to do. Wait until she is done and then go play with her. We both have time by then."

"You make me sound so nice when you say perfunctory." The giant snake growled in its throat, "Uncle... Wangwei, you didn't treat me like this back then. What did you promise me? Have you forgotten? Back then, you and I were--"

As it spoke, it squeezed part of its massive body into the room, forcing everyone to step back.

Wang Wei interrupted without any emotion: "Liu Yin, I'll play with you."

Everyone behind her was surprised by this answer. When did she become so easy to talk to? What happened back then?

Du Ximiao boldly said, "Since we know each other, just be flexible! When you go out, you rely on your friends. We are all friends, so why do you have to make things difficult for us?"

As she spoke, Yuan Xiang silently drew out his sword and prepared to fight back.

Zhuang Boyan was so shocked that he was stunned. He had been an official in the court for many years and knew that the world was full of wonders. However, after seeing this giant snake, he was still shocked by the strange thing.

Although he was physically afraid, he adjusted his mindset a little when he saw Du Ximiao's courage.

"Wow! Little girl, you dare to talk to me like this. You're quite brave. I like it!" The giant snake let out a woman's silver bell-like chuckle, but the size of this silver bell was hard to describe.

Huo Feng sensed that something was wrong. He looked at the expression on Wei's face and inexplicably felt that the air pressure was very low, as if Wei was trying hard to restrain and suppress something.

He immediately drew his sword and blocked Wang Wei's way, tilting his head and saying, "Master, no matter what happens, we will face it together."

When the giant snake saw Huo Feng, it didn't say anything and tried to wrap its tail around him as it appeared from nowhere.

Huo Feng reacted quickly, dodging the entanglement and stabbing with his sword. The emerald spiritual power was like a vine, spreading several times in an instant and immediately strangled the snake's body in the opposite direction.

Liu Yin indeed underestimated his enemy and was caught off guard by Huo Feng. As he struggled, the whole room began to shake.

However, the snake skin was like a solid wall, and it seemed to be not seriously damaged after being stabbed countless times by the sharp blade. Only a few sword marks were left, and no blood was even shed.

He frowned and observed the vital point. The man and the snake fought for several times in the narrow space.

"Huo Feng, be careful behind you!" A small snake was waiting for an opportunity in the dark. Wang Wei drew out his whisk and joined the battle, cutting off the damage from the dark for Huo Feng.

Suddenly, the giant snake let out a beast-like roar and quickly retreated outwards.

"This place is going to collapse! Everyone get out!" Wang Wei immediately used his spiritual power to support this small space, and the people behind him quickly ran out in the direction the giant snake left.

The passage was dark, narrow and long. Huo Feng led the way, Wang was the last one to leave, and Hun Dun was in the middle, lighting up all four directions with his spiritual power. At the last moment when the entire passage was buried, everyone arrived at the new location safely.

The initial room was buried, and there was no way back. Everyone had no choice but to move forward, but they didn't expect that there was a different world inside.

This is the home of snakes.

To be precise, it is the home of the snake demon.

There are red snakes hovering in the sky with only their triangular heads hanging down, there are also half-human, half-snake monsters walking here, and there are also people who have transformed into human forms but are covered with large snake scales.

When they saw outsiders breaking into this place, they turned a deaf ear and continued doing their own things, not being alarmed or affected at all.

"Where are we? So many snakes, so scary! I'm so afraid of snakes, is it because I'm always called a rat? I've met my natural enemy!"

Du Ximiao folded his arms, listening to the rustling sounds around him, and felt goosebumps all over the floor, but he still did not forget to make a little self-deprecating laugh.

This made Yuan Xiang, who was not talkative to begin with, hesitate to speak.

"Miss, you are not a rat. You don't have to care about what those people say." After a long while, he finally managed to say something.

Zhuang Boyan said, "The person who said this is definitely not a gentleman. If that's the case, don't worry about it."

"Well, I was just kidding. Actually, snakes aren't that scary... Look at that snake, its nose looks like... a pig? And it's short and fat. It turns out that not all snakes are scary."

Not far away, the little orange snake that was drinking water raised its head and glared at Du Ximiao fiercely, as if it understood what she said. It stuck out its tongue and smiled awkwardly.

As they walked forward, they saw a natural palace on the opposite bank, with an ancient banyan tree as the main body and countless different kinds of trees surrounding it.

The tree in front of the main hall is the tallest, shaped like the Jianmu of the Ninth Heaven, and it stands in the center of the square.

At its very top is a shining energy stone, like the sun and moon of this underground ruins.

If you want to get through, you must cross the abyss-like chasm in front of you.

"Master, should we go over there? I can use the spiritual power tower bridge to build a road." Huo Feng looked at Wang Wei.

"No need." Wang Wei replied, using his spiritual power to transmit his voice to the palace on the other side. "If you want to play, just come out on your own initiative. Do you want me to go there myself?"

She was really upset now, but she couldn't lose her temper. Who knew what would come out of that snake's mouth?

Wang Wei thought to herself with self-mockery: She really overestimated herself, thinking that the shadows of the past could be laughed off now. As a result, she would occasionally fall into the abyss of fear.

The shadow of her imprisonment was always lingering, and Liu Yin's presence only deepened her memory of it.

Liu Yin is not an ordinary snake demon, it is not an exaggeration to call her a monster.

Generally, demons cultivate into human form, experience worldly affairs during their cultivation, and gradually learn from humans some disguises for entering the human world, mostly in terms of appearance. Some of them can even realize a bit of human nature, which they combine with their original animal nature, making it difficult for them to be discovered even when hiding in a crowd.

Just like the monsters performing in the circus, they yearn for the life of mortals and thus transform themselves in this way.

Some are quite the opposite.

Before Liu Yin had this name, he was a nine-headed snake monster named Xiang Yao who only knew how to be bloodthirsty and murderous. He was known as the God of Evil and lived in the deepest swamps in the Great Wilderness of the Demon Clan.

He was originally a local overlord, but one day he was captured by the god of Bo Shang and brought back to heaven.

She had no human nature, let alone divine nature. After being fed, she still had the urge to kill living things. At that time, a group of gods specially trained her in a dark room until she no longer devoured living things or killed them at will.

From the day she was caught, she had only one use - as a shackle.

Liu Yin had a big appetite and was fed with many of his own kind. Perhaps because he ate too much, his body gradually changed. The nine human heads turned into snake heads, and he grew into the body of a Basilisk, with huge wings of a Ming Snake, and a vertical pupil like Zhu Jiuyin on his forehead, and he mastered the fire magic of Fei Yi.

The second half of her life existed just to trap Wang Wei. This was the way Bo Shanghuan used to restrain Wang Wei. He used the endless fire toxins in his snake body to paralyze Wang Wei's spirit bit by bit.

Until she is completely powerless to resist, and then find a way to absorb the demon's power from her, and then proceed step by step.

Of course, Bo Shanghuan failed in the end. One of the reasons for his failure was the stab in the back from the "shackles".

During the nearly 100 years that Liu Yin locked Wang Wei up, she used poison to harm Wang Wei at will. However, the demonic power in Wang Wei's blood was also invading her body.

They restrained each other and fought poison with poison. In this way, the two were able to communicate with each other. Wang Wei even gave her a name "Liu Yin". What followed was promises, rebellion and counterattacks going on at the same time.

Wang Wei originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill Liu Yin once he got out, after all, she knew too much. But for some reason, Liu Yin took the lead and left a letter to go back to the Great Wilderness of the Demon Clan, as it was really boring to stay in the sky for too long.

After this departure, he never returned to heaven.

Maybe it was because he knew he might be in danger of being killed, or maybe he simply wanted to embrace the air of freedom.

Wang believed that there was no need to go to the lower world for such a monster, so he could only let it develop in the mortal world.

But she still underestimated Liu Yin's ability. When she was too strong, even the strongest snake monster was no different from an ant. Now, things have changed dramatically. She has to reevaluate the way they get along.

"Master, how do we deal with that snake? It may be difficult to kill it, but it's not impossible. My spiritual power has increased rapidly recently. As long as we work together to hit its weak spot, it won't be a problem to seriously injure it. Also, it said it has a magic weapon, but I haven't noticed any magic weapon here so far. Is it deliberately lying to us?"

Huo Feng looked at Wang Wei who was silent for a long time with his head down, and felt a little worried. But he did not say any words of comfort, because he knew that his master did not want to hear useless words, so he proposed a solution.

"Killing her is a piece of cake for me." Wang Wei raised his voice, looked at Huo Feng and shook his head, then sensed the movements around him.

Hun Dun also challenged, "That's right, I'm not the only powerful one around the master. You've seen Liu Yin before. You must have left without saying goodbye because you were afraid of us. I can understand that. After all, you're just a poor little alienated snake!"

Facing such a wild monster, one must not be too submissive in front of her. Wang Wei is quite experienced in this regard. She had fought a desperate battle with Liu Yin before taking the last step in her rebellion.

"Do you know each other?" Zhuang Boyan interrupted.

"I know him. Does Master Young Master have experience in taming snakes?" Wang Wei looked straight at that face, a face that was almost identical to Tianzun Junzhao.

Hmm? Could it be that Liu Yin's escape just now had something to do with him?

Wang Wei had overlooked this matter before. It seemed that Liu Yin was frightened in the previous room and the house shook, and she took the opportunity to escape and has not shown up until now.

So, could it be that everything that happened just now was because of Jun Zhao who looks like Zhuang Boyan?

Wang Wei was surprised and a little angry. She was afraid of Tianzun but not herself. How could this be possible? Or was he giving her too much face?

"I've never tamed a snake, but I feel like you two have a lot of history. What led to the current situation? If there is a knot in your heart, it can be solved by looking at the source. Maybe you can talk about it?"

Wang Wei: “……?”

Could Liu Yin have a knot in his heart?

This was the first time she had heard of this. She and Hun Dun looked at each other, both finding it hard to believe, but there seemed to be no better way at the moment.

"Huo Feng, use your spiritual power to send me to the other side. I'm going to talk to her." Wang Wei ordered.

"But, Master, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. At least I'll go with you." Huo Feng said hurriedly.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and the surrounding snake demons all fled back home. Everyone supported each other and barely stood up.

A giant snake suddenly poked half of its body out from the abyss in front of them, with its nine huge heads extending out, almost blocking the light of the spirit stone. It spread its huge wings, and in an instant, everyone was covered in its shadow.

"The snake actually has wings and nine heads, and three eyes on its heads. What on earth is this?" Du Ximiao was so scared that he grabbed Yuan Xiang's clothes and muttered to himself.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" asked the main snake head in the middle.

"Before we talk further, I am more concerned about the whereabouts of the artifact. You said you had it, but I didn't notice anything. Are you lying to me?"

"Hiss—Sister Weiwei!" Du Ximiao hid behind Yuan Xiang and whispered to Wang Wei, "Say something nice now. Her attitude is too scary. My legs are weak."

"I said I found it, and I really found it. I never lie. Unlike you." Liu Yin continued.

"We haven't seen each other for at least a thousand years. You left without saying goodbye first, so it's normal for me to doubt you."

When Wang Wei heard the last three words, he subconsciously avoided looking at Huo Feng, "You should at least tell me the characteristics of the artifact and where you found it."

The huge snake head lowered and approached Wang Wei, who raised his chin slightly. He lost the battle, but not the fight. At least Liu Yin didn't know his current situation, so he could still get away with it.

"...The artifact is just an insignificant painting, not even as good as a mortal's. I don't know why you went to so much trouble to find it. Could it be that this painting was made by your sweetheart?"

The snake's pupils stood upright, staring straight at Wang Wei.

"I'm looking for this painting because... I want to kill the owner of this painting. The man he loves used to be my subordinate, but he betrayed me. I'm furious and want to kill two birds with one stone and wipe out the whole family."

Wang Wei improvised and made up a lie that was more in line with her personality, and sure enough, Liu Yin no longer doubted her.

"Well... now the painting is in the hands of a mortal, and I don't know how he got it. He lives in the north of the city, somewhere in the northernmost part, where there is a painting studio... right there." Liu Yin spit out words, lowered his head in thought, and told almost everything.

"Then why don't you bring that painting back to me?"

Du Ximiao took two steps at a time and tugged at Wang Wei's sleeve, her voice trembling: "Sister Weiwei, you, you want too much! Since she told us the address, we can go get it ourselves!"

Wang Wei looked back at the cowering girl and nodded, "That's true."

"You are not allowed to leave!" The giant snake opened its bloody mouth to block Wang Wei's way. She swung her tail and pushed the other five people into a cave.

Huo Feng: "This is the exit, you guys go out first, I'll go save Master!"

Wang Wei immediately sent a message to Huo Feng: "Just do as she said and find the artifact. I have my own way to get out of this."
