The next second, the giant snake's body instantly twisted, and a large tail swung over, hitting Wan Yunting fiercely from behind, sending him flying.
"Ugh... cough cough..."
Wan Yunting smashed heavily against a stone wall beside him, then fell hard to the ground. The searing pain in his back made him cough violently, nearly suffocating him. The snake blood splashed on his face irritated his eyes, and with the snake's body covering his phone on the ground, he was plunged into darkness.
Struggling to his feet, leaning on the stone wall, Wan Yunting's eyes were wide open. Relying on instinct and his senses, he vaguely determined the snake's position, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of his military knife.
Facing the giant snake that had once again assumed an attacking stance, Wan Yunting's nerves were taut. He couldn't help but lick his lips, tasting the scalding snake blood he'd been sprayed with. It was腥腥, salty, and had a bitter, medicinal taste as it went down.
This made Wan Yunting a little surprised. He couldn't help but lick the snake blood again. Faced with the black giant snake lunging at him again, he wondered if it had truly become sentient, otherwise why would its blood contain a strange herbal scent!
Bang...
The eight-meter-long body of the black snake rolled, pushing and crushing the surrounding stones. Its raised head continuously lunged at Wan Yunting, but this time, he didn't confront the snake head-on. Instead, he used his swift movements to nimbly change positions, hoping to finish the snake with one blow.
As the saying goes, strike the snake's seven inches. Wan Yunting's target was precisely the snake's seven-inch spot, just below its head and above its belly, around the heart – the snake's fatal seven inches!
Hearing the fierce fighting sounds from over there made Gu Luotang extremely anxious. However, she didn't dare to go over, knowing she would only be a hindrance to Wan Yunting. So, she could only stomp her feet nervously in place, muttering, "Brother Yunting, please be alright..."
Hiss...!
After several lunging attacks, the black snake failed to land a hit, causing it to hiss lowly at Wan Yunting in anger. However, there was still a lot of blood flowing on the ground from the two stab wounds Wan Yunting had inflicted with his military knife earlier. These were not fatal, so they didn't affect the snake's terrifying combat power.
"Come on."
Wan Yunting stood on a large rock. Although it was completely dark, he knew exactly where the snake was, because its two eyes, emitting a faint green glow, were like two green light bulbs in the night. He couldn't help but provoke it with a snort, "Tonight, either you die, or I die."
The snake, flicking its tongue, began to move again, adopting a lunging posture. At the same time, its tail twisted, and suddenly it flicked a rock weighing over a hundred pounds towards Wan Yunting...
"This move again..."
Wan Yunting cursed, quickly rolling off the rock. The stone hit the large rock with a bang. At the same time, the snake lunged fiercely at Wan Yunting, who had fallen to the ground. Its gaping maw, long fangs, and foul breath stimulated Wan Yunting's nerves to a high degree of tension. He pushed off a nearby stone with his right foot, his back scraping the ground as he slid away, causing the snake to miss its lunge again...
"This is the moment!"
Instantly, Wan Yunting's eyes widened. He fixed his gaze on the snake's seven-inch spot, then suddenly stood up and pounced. His left hand immediately wrapped around the snake's neck, his legs spreading to stabilize himself. The giant snake seemed to sense what Wan Yunting was trying to do, emitting a low growl, its body twisting and struggling rapidly, trying to coil around Wan Yunting...
"Go to hell..."
With a roar from Wan Yunting, his right hand, holding the military knife, plunged mercilessly into the snake's seven-inch spot.
"Hiss..."
The snake immediately let out a piercing cry of pain, its body writhing violently, trying to use its tail to dislodge Wan Yunting. But he lowered his body and dodged it...
Wan Yunting's eyes widened. He simply wrapped both hands around the snake's body, but it thrashed and pulled, drawing the military knife from its seven-inch spot. A jet of blood spurted out, directly spraying onto Wan Yunting's face.
"So hot..."
He immediately felt as if his face had been scalded by boiling water, his eyes almost unable to open. But he endured it, wildly stabbing the snake's body with the military knife in his hand...
Bang...
The black snake, sensing its life was in danger, began to swim away rapidly, trying to escape. But Wan Yunting held its neck tightly, seemingly determined to take its life tonight...
"Damn it, such a big snake must have become sentient. Its blood must be potent!"
Seeing that the military knife couldn't stop the giant snake after a few more stabs, and watching the blood gush from its wounds, Wan Yunting's mind suddenly craved to drink its blood. Perhaps it was because he was hungry, or perhaps he truly felt the snake blood was a great tonic. So, he simply dropped the military knife in his right hand, embraced the snake's body with both hands, and directly bit into the wound made by the military knife. Instantly, he greedily gulped down the scalding, salty snake blood...
The startled snake continuously twisted its body, trying to shake off Wan Yunting, who was clinging to its back like a leech sucking blood.
But Wan Yunting, clinging tightly to its back and drinking its blood, felt his entire body gradually becoming hot as the snake blood went down. Even his dantian was emitting warmth. Especially the malevolent energy sealed in the Stone Gate acupoint seemed to loosen at this moment, breaking free from Chang Wude's previous seal and threatening to erupt...
"Brother Yunting..."
Gu Luotang, over there, turned pale with fright at the commotion of the snake darting away, her expression panicked.
But she didn't see Wan Yunting clinging to the snake's back as it ran, the sound of rustling stones being pushed aside by its body accompanied by thudding noises...
Gu Luotang knew the giant snake was heading upstream towards the dark river, so she got up and ran out, regardless of everything. With her phone in hand, she frantically shone it around but couldn't see any sign of Wan Yunting.
"Could Brother Yunting have been..."
At the thought of that possibility, Gu Luotang's eyes widened in fear. Her heart filled with dread, she looked in the direction the snake had gone. Disregarding her fear, she hurriedly chased after it, shouting anxiously, "Brother Yunting..."
"Ugh..."
At this moment, Wan Yunting, like a blood-drinking leech, had drunk a belly full of snake blood and felt his entire body burning hot, as if he were drunk. He then saw a cave with a diameter of only fifty to sixty centimeters. The snake was heading there, which seemed to be its lair.
However, clinging to the snake's back, Wan Yunting realized he wouldn't be able to fit if he continued to hold on. So, he woke up with a start, released his hands, and immediately rolled to the side, his back hitting a stone, causing him to cry out in pain from the impact...
As a result, the snake darted away with a whoosh, panicked and completely ignoring Wan Yunting, and fled into the small cave back to its lair.
"Cough cough... So hot..."
Wan Yunting, however, supported himself against the stone wall, coughing violently. Having drunk a belly full of snake blood, he felt his entire body burning as if he were drunk, his nerves becoming fuzzy. The qi in his dantian was surging and chaotic, like a raging fire.
Especially the malevolent energy sealed in the Stone Gate acupoint, under the potent and overbearing aura of the snake blood, directly broke the seal of the Stone Gate acupoint. The malevolent energy instantly surged out, impacting his dantian...
"Ah..."
At this moment, Wan Yunting let out a piercing scream, falling to his knees and clutching his stomach. He felt his dantian being forcefully torn apart by the potent aura mixed with snake blood and the malevolent energy. The excruciating pain felt like it was churning in his stomach, causing his whole body to tremble violently.
Clenching his fists, Wan Yunting repeatedly pounded the ground. Blood covered his face, and hot sweat dripped down, as if his dantian were on fire, causing him to cry out in agony, his consciousness becoming completely blurred.
"It's over..."
With a sliver of consciousness remaining, he knew that his reckless drinking of this snake blood had broken the seal placed by Old Master Chang, allowing the malevolent energy from the Stone Gate acupoint to escape, along with this scalding and potent snake blood, which was burning in his dantian like fire. Wan Yunting knew he had overdone it...
"Brother Yunting..."
Hearing his scream, Gu Luotang, phone in hand, hurried over. She saw him kneeling on the ground, his face covered in blood, clutching his stomach with his left hand and painfully pounding the ground with his right, crying out in agony. Frightened, Gu Luotang rushed over, "Brother Yunting, what's wrong? Don't scare me..."
"Luotang, you... you hurry and leave... Ah..."
Wan Yunting, lying on the ground and howling in pain, knew that with the malevolent energy impacting his dantian, he would surely suffer qi deviation and die.
"Brother Yunting, what exactly is wrong..."
Seeing his agonizing cries, Gu Luotang became completely flustered and didn't know what to do.
As a result, the pain of his dantian tearing and burning was too much for Wan Yunting to bear, and he fainted...
"Brother Yunting..."
Seeing this, Gu Luotang cried out in panic, rushed over, knelt on the ground, shaking Wan Yunting's body, and cried, "Wake up, don't scare me, sob sob..."
