"Then you shall die!"
"After you die, I can still absorb the power within your body!"
The all-encompassing gale, after these two sentences were spoken, became like a tangible entity, densely compressing towards Lin Fan!
Simultaneously, the python formed from碎石 (suì shí - shattered stones) also constricted its body once more, bringing Lin Fan suffocating pressure!
Lin Fan felt as if he were bearing the weight of Mount Luofeng itself, on the verge of suffocation!
"Whether I die or not, I don't know, but..."
Lin Fan bit his lower lip. The sharp pain stimulated him, causing a sudden surge of potential.
Stomp, stomp, stomp...
Gritting his teeth, Lin Fan charged forward, quickly reaching the entrance of the cave.
"I'll blow up your doghouse and see if you can still show off!"
Lin Fan had a premonition.
He guessed that this ghostly entity had never revealed its true form because there was a reason it couldn't leave the cave. Therefore, if the cave were destroyed, it would surely be eliminated!
"What are you doing?"
The monster's voice clearly showed panic.
"You'll know soon enough."
Lin Fan stared at the immense obstructing force and walked step by step into the cave.
The moment he stepped inside, a swirling, iridescent purple mist immediately enveloped him.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately grabbed a piece of antidote paste from his hiking pack, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.
"Damn it! You actually stole my Crimson Blood Lingzhi!"
The monster's voice held a hint of confusion.
"I stole it, so what?"
Lin Fan deliberately spoke this way, almost making the monster spit blood.
As soon as his voice fell, a deafening roar echoed from the depths of the cave.
Instantly!
From the base of his spine, a tingling sensation coursed up his spine and into his skull.
This instinctive fear caused him to break out in a cold sweat!
And in the next second, something even more terrifying appeared!
Two oil-green lanterns lit up in the darkness of the cave and were rapidly approaching him!
Following closely, a foul, fishy odor, which even the purple barrier couldn't block, assailed him, churning his stomach and nearly making him vomit his breakfast.
Even though he had just swallowed the antidote paste, he still felt dizzy and disoriented, showing signs of mild poisoning.
"So it's a poisonous snake that has gained sentience!"
Lin Fan activated his Purple Extreme Spiritual Eyes and saw what the ghostly entity ahead was. It was indeed a snake demon.
He had actually guessed this earlier, as the entity had materialized in the shape of a snake.
Mount Luofeng was in a remote location, once lush with vegetation, and not uncommon to find poisonous snakes and fierce beasts.
At some point, a poisonous snake had seized an opportunity and embarked on the path to enlightenment and immortality.
Not long ago, it had absorbed the leaked purple qi from Lin Fan, thus gaining such immense power.
"Hiss~ Phew~"
Another wave of iridescent purple poisonous mist surged along the cave walls, like rolling dust, rushing towards Lin Fan!
Lin Fan hastily grabbed a handful of antidote paste and ate it as if it were delicious food.
He had now fully grasped the snake demon's attack method.
The snake demon injected toxins into the air it inhaled, and then exhaled it to attack enemies.
Therefore, when it inhaled for the third time, Lin Fan immediately threw out a box of explosives.
Bang!
A muffled thud.
Before the box even hit the ground, it defied gravity and was sucked inwards by the snake demon.
Upon landing, it rolled further into the depths.
At this point, the snake demon was still about fifty meters away from Lin Fan.
"What did you give me to eat?"
The snake demon paused, its massive head swaying left and right, and then it spoke in a bewitching female voice.
"Heh heh."
Lin Fan was no longer afraid of it.
"Have you ever seen fireworks?"
Lin Fan spread his hands, making an expanding explosion gesture.
"It's much prettier than that, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of times better, enough to blow up your snake den and shatter half of Mount Luofeng."
Lin Fan said in an exaggerated tone, "You probably know the capabilities of humans, otherwise, you wouldn't have been hiding in this cave, afraid to come out."
"Gag gag gag..."
The snake demon emitted sounds of vomiting, clearly trying to expel the explosives.
"Don't move, if you move again, I'll detonate the explosives immediately!"
Lin Fan used all his might to throw out another box of explosives, but the snake demon did not inhale, so it only flew out about twenty meters.
The vomiting stopped.
To conserve his purple qi, Lin Fan also deactivated his Purple Extreme Spiritual Eyes.
In the darkness, two green lanterns seemed to ignite, fueled by suppressed rage.
"Lin Fan, if you have the guts, detonate the explosives. I'll die with you!" xxs壹贰
The snake demon then let out a powerful roar: "Roar~"
It pained Lin Fan's eardrums, and he shouted back, "Only a fool would die with you!"
Lin Fan quietly retreated two steps. To his surprise, the snake demon also advanced two steps.
These two steps of the snake demon were well over twenty meters!
Lin Fan was truly shocked that the snake demon's eyes could perceive such a minute detail, almost rivaling his Purple Extreme Spiritual Eyes!
"Take one more step back, and I'll swallow you whole!"
A chilling and terrifying voice echoed through the cave.
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks, mentally calculating the distance behind him.
The purple qi in his dantian was already more than half depleted, and his chance of escaping the cave was at most thirty percent.
Moreover, even if he escaped the cave, the shockwave from the explosion, at such close proximity, would blow him to smithereens.
Lin Fan quietly stared at the two green lanterns ahead, repeating in his mind: "Don't be afraid!"
Absolutely do not be afraid!
The snake demon held the same thought.
Thus, the snake demon and Lin Fan stood in a silent standoff about thirty meters apart.
After a few minutes of confrontation, the snake demon suddenly chuckled: "Lin Fan, you wanted to blow me up, didn't you? Come on!"
"Heh heh."
Lin Fan returned a smile, taunting, "You probably don't know that the explosives you swallowed are highly toxic, do you?"
"Then let me tell you, merely touching the skin can cause dermatitis and jaundice."
"If swallowed, one to two grams can be fatal."
Lin Fan laughed heartily and continued in a slightly mocking tone, "Perhaps because of your large size and your own potent toxicity, you can swallow forty to fifty pounds without issue?"
At these words, the cave became so quiet that a needle drop would be audible.
Lin Fan's eyes gleamed, and he vaguely saw the massive snake demon in the distant darkness subtly rippling, as if trying to discreetly expel the explosives from its stomach.
"Don't move, okay? If you move again, I'll detonate the explosives directly. I might not die, but you definitely will!"
Lin Fan raised the detonator high, feigning a look of utter disregard for his own life.
"Lin Fan, what grudge do I have with you that you would conspire so meticulously against me?"
An enraged question came from the snake demon's mouth.
Lin Fan scratched his head and cursed, "Damn it, I want to ask you the same thing! I have no enmity with you, so why have you tried to harm me repeatedly?"
