Celestial Master: I Have an Otherworld
Chapter 437 - 136: Human Sacrifice, Snake Den (Part 3)
"I see," Master Ji nodded:
"I’ve learned something new."
"Heh..." Crippled John shrugged, and said:
"So, the hotel at the foot of the mountain tricks people into coming here not for money, but to use them as sacrifices."
"By locking people in the darkroom, they are indifferent to the fate of the sacrifices. The bloodstains on the pickup truck are also meant to lure people deeper into the mountains."
"Even the clues that Senior Brother Gu and the master obtained might have been deliberately left by predecessors as a trap to draw people in."
"Scar definitely knows this."
"As for Master Ji..."
"I’ve heard about your unique skills a long time ago. Today, despite the snake attack, you were unharmed. That’s quite intriguing."
Master Ji’s special skills include retrieving snakes from a distance and restoring severed snakes. Both methods are related to snakes.
And here...
It’s full of venomous snakes.
There’s also a Snake God Stone Carving.
Just now, Master Ji sneaked out under the cover of night, finding his way here with ease and even bowed to the Snake God Statue. If anyone said he knew nothing about this place, nobody would believe it.
"Clap!"
"Clap, clap!"
Master Ji clapped his hands lightly, showing admiration:
"Outstanding! Truly outstanding! A cripple could deduce things to this extent."
"With such capability, you might as well get a position as a local director in the Public Security Department."
"You’re joking."
Crippled John grinned, and said:
"Master Ji, I have no interest in what you intend to do, nor in avenging the sacrifices, but I am quite interested in that Longevity Snake you mentioned."
"And also interested in the Snake God you mentioned."
"I wonder if we can join forces?"
At first, he thought the so-called Snake God was just a rumor, but the environment here made him hesitate.
Perhaps,
there really is a Snake God?
Even if there isn’t, Master Ji must have gained enormous benefits from this place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t come all this way with such effort.
As for the so-called human sacrifices...
As a bloodied tomb raider, he couldn’t care less!
"Join forces?"
Master Ji’s face darkened:
"You think you’re worthy?"
Before his words fell, several venomous snakes suddenly shot out from the grass and lunged at Crippled John under the cover of night.
At the same time.
Scar appeared behind Crippled John at some point, knife in hand, silently striking at his neck.
"Clink..."
"Swish!"
Silhouettes crisscrossed, and severed snakes fell to the ground.
Scar grunted, stumbling back repeatedly, glancing at the tear in his garment at the chest, his face darkening.
What a fierce Saber Technique!
However...
"Crack!"
Master Ji held a pistol aimed at Crippled John, but he didn’t pull the trigger, instead looking behind him with a grave expression.
Elder Gou stood there quietly, as if he had been there all along. Although his hands were empty, Master Ji was wary and dared not act rashly.
"The greatest benefit of the ruins isn’t the treasures buried deep within, but what’s on Master Ji,"
Elder Gou spoke slowly:
"To make a street thug become the prominent Master Ji in just over a decade, to make the billionaire Master Ji abandon his past and come back."
"I’m really curious, what exactly is it?"
As he spoke.
The surrounding grass and trees shook, and figures appeared one after another.
Fang Zheng,
was conspicuously among them!
’It seems you can’t underestimate the wisdom of mortals, though I have great strength, I’m not as clear-sighted as others.’
’Indeed!’
Fang Zheng sighed softly:
’Strategic battles are not my forte.’
"Haha..." Seeing himself surrounded, with guns pointed at him, Master Ji was not frightened but laughed instead.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"I never expected that just by coming back, I’d almost lose my life, but it’s a pity..."
"You didn’t choose to strike early!"
Saying this, he stretched out his arms, lifted his head high, ignoring the presence of numerous pistols, and spoke slowly:
"Here, what can you do to me?"
"Hiss hiss..."
"Rustle rustle..."
Grass and trees swayed as all sorts of strange venomous snakes and Flying Snakes appeared nearby, surrounding everyone.
"Ji!"
Someone shouted:
"Stop!"
This bizarre situation clearly indicated someone was controlling the snake swarm.
"I demand you stop!"
"Bang!"
The sound of a gunshot rang out.
In the next instant.
Everyone was frozen in place.
The bullet fired from the gun barrel hovered silently in mid-air, a ruler’s distance away from Master Ji.
How is this possible!
Even Fang Zheng frowned.
