Chapter 161 Snake Man
Just as soon as I entered the huge courtyard, I felt a gloomy ghostly atmosphere lingering here.

At this moment, on both sides of the open space in front of the temple, eight flickering oil lamps are lit, and a black and white evocation banner is erected at each of the four corners.

A gust of cold wind came out from nowhere, and the blown oil lamp jumped back and forth, and immediately felt a whizzing chill on his body.

"Chu Yuan?"

As soon as I stepped into the temple gate, which was more than half a meter high, I found Chu Yuan standing in the temple courtyard.

Hearing my voice, he turned his head and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

I hurried over and said in a low voice: "Just now I called you and didn't speak for a long time, I thought you were in trouble!"

"Are you worried about me?" Chu Yuan asked back.

"I..." I wanted to refute, but I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded slightly in the end.

Chu Yuan didn't continue to make fun of me, his face darkened and said: "Be careful, there are other things coming from this temple."

As soon as I walked in, the moonlight was blinded, and the crows were circling and croaking overhead, and the yard was only lit by a few oil lamps like will-o'-the-wisps.

The smog was lingering, and some shadowy shadows flickered around, giving off a ghostly aura.

Suddenly, from the depths of the dark temple, two cold laughter came out: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, Master Snake!"

It was a man, and the voice sounded so frightening to me, because it was a little familiar.

Chu Yuan looked around, and sneered: "Is it only these low methods?"

As soon as Chu Yuan's voice fell, a voice like a ghost's mansion floated from all around.

I feel a little cold, this place is like a cellar in a mountain kiln, there is no exit, but the cool wind always feels like it is blowing on my face from all directions, it is dark and scary.

Standing behind Chu Yuan, I glanced out of the corner of my eye and suddenly saw something rising upwards in the eight large vats with oil lamps around the courtyard.

As soon as he turned his eyes, he immediately found that the flames in the eight large water tanks were pushed up, and they were lifted up one by one.

Gradually, a completely lifeless pale face, stained with sticky lamp oil, emerged from the vat.

"Chu Yuan!" I quickly tugged on his sleeve, and pointed to the strange scene around him.

There is a corpse hidden in the oil tank, and the wick is lit on the top of the corpse, just like the legendary sky lantern.

The eight corpses stood up slowly from the eight large tanks, straight and motionless, their bodies were covered with yellow lamp oil, the flames were constantly burning above their heads, and an indescribable smell wafted out immediately.

As soon as I smelled the smell that made people want to spit out their intestines, I knew it must be corpse oil, a jar full of lamp oil mixed with corpse oil.

The sorceresses in the river beach countryside often use corpse oil when they do evil methods, which is very dark.

At the same time as the eight corpses stood up, the yin energy in the temple was already extremely strong.

"Having killed so many innocent people, using evil methods to refine them into corpse puppets, aren't you afraid that you will bear too much karma and go to hell after death?"

Chu Yuan glanced around from the corner of his eye, and his voice suddenly became extremely cold.

"Who can tell what happened after death, besides, am I still alive and well?"

A familiar and eerie male voice came from the dark temple.

I know that there are a pair of eyes in the temple observing in the dark, but the blackness inside cannot be seen through, as if it is rendered ink, but our existence can be clearly seen inside.

The corpse standing up from the tank did not move, but the oil lamp reflected the whole temple as creepy as the underworld.

"You go out first!"

Chu Yuan stared at the pitch-black hall with eyes like blades.

Sensing the dangers in the temple, I nodded slightly, wanting to exit the temple gate first.

"Since you've come in, how can you just leave as soon as you say it?" From the foggy temple, came a light male voice with a chuckle.

I glanced at the temple in disgust. For some reason, I always felt that the voice was very familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

As soon as the words were finished, there was a "chirp chirp" sound from the darkness of the temple, which was very similar to the sound of a flute, and also seemed to be made by a person with a blade of grass in his mouth.

The whistle sounded like snakes chirping, and this whistle seemed to cause a group of snakes in the surrounding field to chirp and echo. After a while, small snakes began to come one after another. There were many kinds of snakes, lined up like a long snake array.

As the sound kept coming out, the summoned snake gradually grew in size, from one or two feet long at the beginning, to three or four feet long, and then to seven or eight feet long at the end. At this time, the poisonous snake raised its head, Completely block the escape route.

"Lord Snake Lord, I have prepared a gift for you, why don't you take a look at it?" The whistle stopped, and a sneer came from the temple.

As soon as the words fell, I saw a gust of wind coming from the dark temple, and suddenly my face changed, "Be careful!"

A shadow, a black spear protruded from the temple like lightning, and stabbed straight at Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to pat it, and the bone spear pierced through, then retracted. The shadow was extremely flexible, and it seemed to disappear after shaking left and right.

"what?"

I looked solemnly, and looked around. From the darkness, snake-like monsters had surrounded us.

Under the colorful light, I finally saw the true colors of these things clearly.

These monsters are monsters with a human head and a snake body, about the size of an adult, covered with a layer of black scales, the upper body is like a human, and the lower body is a section of snake body.

Although it has a human face but no nostrils, most of its face is occupied by a mouth full of fangs, and a pair of sharp fangs are directly exposed outside the lips, which looks very penetrating.

What's even more shocking is that the monster's upper body actually has a pair of arms, holding a white spear-like weapon in its palm. The tip of the spear shone with metallic luster under the moonlight, looking very sharp.

"Snake people! There are still so many!" My expression became unnatural.

These snake people look even more terrifying than those under the Dragon King Temple.

The monsters with the head of a man and the body of a snake began to gather slowly, spreading and swimming around, and pairs of vertical eyes that only cold-blooded animals have were staring at us coldly.

"Hold me tight!" Chu Yuan frowned slightly, and said in a solemn voice.

To deal with these things, the snake talisman is useless, just like tickling.

At this time, a snake man meandered to come over, stuck out his forked tongue, and made a hissing sound, and the snake men on the left immediately raised their spears and launched an attack.

Their fighting style is very strange. The spears do not attack in a straight line, but constantly change the attack route midway, making it difficult to figure out the specific direction of the stabbing.

Chu Yuan embraced me with one hand, and drew a few talismans with one hand across the air, like forming an invisible wall to block the snake man coming over.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang in the air, and several spears snapped off, even sending those snake men flying.

"As expected of a snake king who has practiced for thousands of years, even without the body of nine snakes, he is still so strong!" There were two more chuckles from the Dragon King Temple.

The snake man's icy eyes couldn't see any expression, they kept making ugly hissing noises, and took turns to attack.

"Is that the only means?"

Chu Yuan seemed to have lost his patience, his eyes were full of coldness, and with a move of the hand that drew the talisman, he held the long black sword that had turned into mist tightly in his hand.
