However, while unconscious, it seemed that someone fed him something and saved his life. So, where was that person?
Regardless, sitting idly by and waiting for death was not Chen Xiao's habit, so he huddled in the cave. After thinking for a while, he began to probe.
really!
He had only taken a few steps into the cave when the strange snake reacted immediately. Its coiled body suddenly straightened up, opened its mouth, and stared coldly at Chen Xiao with its large eyes. From its posture, it was clear that it was preparing to attack!
It seemed that if Chen Xiao took another step forward, it would no longer be so lenient!
"So... he's a guard." Chen Xiao frowned.
But a strange feeling lingered in my mind. Could such a sea serpent... also possess human-like qualities?
He had just given himself a quick check-up; his injuries had healed somewhat, and he could move with difficulty. Walking slowly was no problem. However, since his body hadn't fully recovered, he couldn't use his full abilities.
His once formidable close-combat power is now unusable due to his severe injuries. But aside from that… hmph!
Clearly, the person who brought themselves here doesn't seem to have a good understanding of their own abilities!
Chen Xiao had already made up his mind. He weighed the thigh bone in his hand a couple of times, and then suddenly threw it hard at the monster's head.
With a thud, the thigh bone slammed into the monster's head, startling it. It raised its body and stared at Chen Xiao with hostility.
Chen Xiao, however, had already made a move and quickly strode towards the base of the giant snake!
The giant snake moved with incredible speed, immediately lowering its body and opening its massive jaws to bite down on Chen Xiao! Chen Xiao had only taken two steps when his body vanished from the spot in an instant!
The giant snake's bite missed, and a cracking sound was heard as its teeth collided! Clearly, its bite force was astonishing! If it had bitten solidly, even a young man like Chen Xiao would probably have been bitten in two!
With a teleportation, Chen Xiao easily dodged the giant snake's attack and instantly flashed to the cave entrance behind the giant snake. However, as soon as his body appeared in the air, he seemed to have bumped into something soft, as if there was a transparent, invisible wall in front of him at the cave entrance. His teleportation had only brought him to the cave entrance when he was immediately slammed back by this force!
Chen Xiao had barely thought of something was wrong when his body flew backward. The giant snake, which was furious at missing its bite, suddenly saw Chen Xiao fall back from the cave entrance. It immediately raised its head, and in mid-air, it snapped its jaws shut, instantly grabbing Chen Xiao in its mouth!
Two sharp fangs instantly pierced through Chen Xiao's arm! Blood flowed out, and Chen Xiao screamed in pain, but his body was tightly stuck by the fangs in the other's mouth!
Fortunately, although the fangs pierced his arm, they did not pierce his body. He only felt the giant snake suddenly tilt its head back, as if it was about to swallow him whole!
Chen Xiao watched as his legs fell into the monster's throat, the internal muscles squeezing desperately as if trying to swallow him whole. How could Chen Xiao bear to die inside such a monster?
Instinctively, it grabbed a snake's fang and struggled to climb upwards.
The giant snake struggled to swallow a few times, but Chen Xiao clung desperately to the snake's fangs, refusing to let go. No matter how the snake swallowed, it had no hands and could only angrily shake its head left and right.
Chen Xiao felt the wind whistling in his ears. After being shaken a few times, he became dizzy and nearly let go several times, but he held fast to one thought: I can't let this snake eat me and turn me into snake dung!
Blood flowed continuously from his arm, but it dripped slowly into the snake's belly through its mouth...
Finally, the giant snake swayed several times, but eventually it too was exhausted, its body contorting. Suddenly, its head slammed into the ground, then crashed heavily to the earth!
With a loud bang, the jolt finally sent Chen Xiao flying. He rolled on the ground a dozen times before finally reaching a corner of the cave. As he rolled over, he saw the giant snake staring intently at him with wide eyes, its jaws snapping open to bite down!
Chen Xiao cursed inwardly and rolled away with all his might. He heard a loud bang behind him, and stone chips flew everywhere as the giant snake's head slammed into the cave wall.
Its body seemed extremely sturdy, with a thick, hard shell covering its head and back. When it crashed into the cave walls, it was unharmed, simply turning its head and lunging at Chen Xiao again.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. The snake hadn't seemed to intend to eat him. He had rashly tried to escape using teleportation, but instead of escaping, he had only angered the creature…
When the giant snake bit down this time, Chen Xiao had no way to dodge. He could only gather the last bit of his remaining strength and his body disappeared on the spot again.
This time, the teleportation took them directly to the giant snake's head!
Chen Xiao gripped the edge of the hard shell on the snake's head tightly with one hand, the sharp barbs providing perfect support for his balance. Then, he freed one hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it down hard into one of the snake's lantern-like eyes…
*Poof!* The giant snake suddenly rolled over. Chen Xiao punched it in the eye; although he was injured, the punch was still powerful, instantly rupturing its eyeball! A spurt of scalding liquid gushed out, splashing onto Chen Xiao's body. The giant snake immediately collapsed to the ground, writhing in pain. Chen Xiao held onto the snake's head tightly, refusing to let go no matter how much it rolled around. The snake continued to roll back and forth, its body slamming against the cave walls. Several times Chen Xiao was slammed against the walls, writhing in agony; it seemed his original injuries hadn't even healed before several more bones were broken!
But he held on tightly, knowing that if he let go, there was no way he could escape from such a small cave, and he would surely die! So no matter what, he held on tightly and refused to let go!
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Chen Xiao felt that time had stretched on endlessly, even though it had only been seven or eight minutes.
The giant snake's strength seemed to gradually diminish, and its originally twisted body seemed to lose its balance. Finally, it tilted to one side and fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing that the giant snake had stopped moving, Chen Xiao still refused to let go. After waiting for another minute, he found that the monster seemed to be really dying. Its body was still struggling slightly, but it could no longer move.
Chen Xiao then released his grip, and while he was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the bloody wound on his arm where the fangs had pierced through, and he immediately realized what had happened!
It turns out, it was toxins in my own blood!
Just now, the giant snake bit itself in its mouth, trying to eat itself. In the end, it didn't get to eat human flesh, but it did drink a few mouthfuls of human blood.
Little did they know, their own blood was poisonous!
It seems that the toxin in my blood is really powerful. In just seven or eight minutes, the enormous snake could no longer withstand it and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if his whole body had fallen apart. When he touched his wound, it had burst open again.
He knew he couldn't just wait to die here, so he staggered toward the cave entrance, only to be immediately turned back when he reached it!
It's unclear what strange method someone used, but it seems like there's an invisible wall of air at the cave entrance. No matter how hard Chen Xiao tried, once he reached the cave entrance, he couldn't take another step out!
Even teleportation would be blocked by this invisible wall!
Chen Xiao scratched his head, but couldn't come up with a solution.
While teleportation can traverse space, it has a major weakness: it requires visual perception for location. Simply put, to teleport to a certain place, you must be able to see that place.
If it is a long-distance instantaneous teleportation, you must first leave a coordinate using your mental power.
But now Chen Xiao is trapped in this cave, how can he teleport? His maximum teleportation distance is less than ten meters, but now he's in a cave, who knows how thick the cave walls are? What if he teleports towards the wall and finds only endless rocks behind him? He'll probably be stuck inside after just one teleport!
