Chapter 310: Chapter 309: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (4) Chapter 310: Chapter 309: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (4) Little Snake King huffed, âSilly humans, only you would dig up graves for no reason!â
Upon hearing this, Su Shu extended her arm, âThen, pleaseââ
Silly? Heh, after everythingâs over and weâre back in the space, Iâll teach you how to be a courteous and modest snake!
While Little Snake King was zoning out in front of the tombstone, Su Shu looked around; since she couldnât do much either. But after surveying the area for a while, she suddenly noticed something: despite the unremarkable size of the grave, the trees encircling it were arranged very strangely, werenât they?
Su Shu looked down and saw that from the edge of the graveyard to the edge of the forest behind, there was a space about ten meters wide, filled with dark brown soil and several protruding sharp stonesâmore in some places, less in others, but due to the soilâs weeds and the still-dark sky, she could only get a rough idea.
Out of curiosity, she knelt down, pulled out the dagger she carried and scratched at the soil, particularly near the sharp stones. As she scraped, she noticed something unusual.
The layer of soil she had scraped away looked nothing like normal rock but rather seemed like a stone that had been polished and carved.
âWhatâs this?â
She shifted back a step and, using her dagger and hand, cleared the area she had just uncovered. Her eyes brightened.
âHey, smelly snake? Come over and see what this is?â
No response from the snake.
She looked up ahead; Little Snake King was still coiled in front of the tombstone.
Looking down at the stone surface which appeared to be laughing from every angle, a carved horizontal line exuded a cold intimidation.
For some reason, Su Shu found the site beneath her feet intriguing. With Little Snake King ignoring her, she decided to investigate by herself. Soon, she had uncovered a large area.
âWhat are you doing?â
Suddenly, a blur of motion attacked her, pinning Su Shu harshly to the ground!
A sharp tail slapped her face left and right, snapping Su Shu out of her nightmarish haze.
The blood-red eyes gradually faded from a horrifying tinge to clear pupils.
Su Shu blankly looked at Little Snake King, his large, knife-like gaze staring back from his fanged maw.
The other sat on her protruding âmountains,â unaware and startled, causing her to quickly sit up and shove Little Snake King onto the ground.
Of all places to sit, he had to choose there.
Once lucid, Su Shu suddenly noticed her cheeks felt swollenâas if someone had hit her.
âAwake now? If not, I can slap a few more times,â Little Snake King said coldly.
Su Shu narrowed her eyes, seeing the tip of his tail tauntingly flicking. Realizing who caused her face to be both painful and swollen, just as she was about to speak, the piece of stone floor exposed below them startled her.
âWhat is this?!â
She stood up, staring at the three broken horizontal bars on the ground, âIs this⊠the Kun Trigram?â
Little Snake King said, âYou were just spellbound. Be careful, if I hadnât noticed something was wrong, you could have lost your life!â
Su Shu broke out in a cold sweat but quickly calmed down, no longer minding the slap to her face from earlier, recognizing that being saved outweighed getting hit, after all, she wasnât ungrateful.
However, damn it, did his tail have to slap so painfully?
âThis piece is the Kun Trigram, then that piece over there⊠Zhen Trigram?â
