Chapter 309: Chapter 308: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (3) Chapter 309: Chapter 308: The Secret Beneath the Swarm of Snakes (3) No matter how angry she was, she still made her way up the mountain and found the place. It was just a case of a wrongful target. Su Shu was truly… at a loss for words.
“Now what do we do? Didn’t you say we were looking for a swarm of snakes, but all we have here is a lone grave. What’s next?”
Little Snake King calmly surveyed the area for a while before crawling forward.
“I’ll go check it out.”
“Hey, wait for !”
Without another word, she was left behind. Couldn’t they play together anymore?
Standing up, she followed behind Little Snake King towards the grave. When she was three to five ters away from the tomb, Su Shu suddenly felt the surroundings beco much quieter, like what? Perhaps,
It was like entering a movie theater, when the film starts, and suddenly everything goes dark and silent all at once.
The only sound she could hear, apart from Little Snake King slithering on the ground, was her own breathing. Even though she tried to breathe as lightly as possible, it was just her and it.
Su Shu’s heart had unconsciously risen to her throat. She had a feeling that coming out tonight was not a good idea.
Little Snake King crawled up to the Wordless Stele in front of the grave and stared at it for a long ti.
“Can you make anything out?”
Looking around, Su Shu was essentially on the lookout, who knew what could spring out from which corner in this eerie place—it was making her skin crawl.
After a while, Little Snake King left the stele and started circling around the solitary grave. Su Shu watched nervously, “What are you looking for?”
Little Snake King seed not to hear her. It crawled for a bit, then stopped. Seeing that it wasn’t responding, she crossed her arms and stayed still, observing in such an unfamiliar environnt. She preferred to wait for the change in tranquility.
It wasn’t until so ti later that Little Snake King finally turned around and spoke.
“There’s sothing under this tomb.”
“Yeah, a dead person.” Su Shu said irritably. What else would be under a grave?
Little Snake King shook its head, “Not just a dead person, there’s sothing else.”
Su Shu stood straight, pondering for a mont, her tone grave, “What do you an? Don’t tell you want to dig up the grave. Let tell you first, if you want to find a snake swarm, I can help, but if you want to dig up soone else’s grave, sorry, I can’t help with that.”
A solitary grave, hidden deep in the mountains with no path in sight, who knows how long it has existed, who the Tomb Owner was, without even a na—it’s sothing she would never ddle with. She had no interest in courting death.
Litte Snake King exclaid, “When did I say I wanted to dig up the grave? I just said there was sothing else. Really, do you see as such a shaless person?”
“It’s snakes.”
Little Snake King: Damn!
“Move aside!”
Su Shu crossed her arms and stepped back two big steps, “Is this okay?”
With a tense air, Little Snake King gave her a cold stare, “If you’re so afraid of dying, why did you co in here?”
“Wasn’t it you who asked to co in?” Do I look like I want to die?
“…”
“Forget it, I won’t get mad at you. Whatever you want to do, do it quickly. We need to get out of this mountain when we’re done. This place is weird and it’s uncomfortable to stay here.” Su Shu felt an unsettling silence all around.
Little Snake King probably had more important things to focus on and didn’t want to argue with this foolish owner. It turned its head and slithered back to the Wordless Stele, coiled up, and raised its upper body, closing its eyes.
Su Shu had no idea what it was planning to do, but she gave a reminder just before it could initiate anything.
“Before you start digging the grave, tell first.”
The snake’s eyes snapped open and turned her way, “What do you an?”
“Just making it clear where I stand, so I don’t get struck by lightning.” Su Shu said calmly.
