A rare opportunity

Chapter 176: Cave of Ten Thousand Immortals

Immediately, two demon soldiers rushed in from outside the door and grabbed Li Yu's arms without saying a word!

Although Li Yu didn't know where the so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Cave was, he thought it was definitely not a good place. He immediately said loudly:

"Princess! It's unfair! Everything I said is true! I really don't know what golden wood or spiritual crystal fruit are! Where do you want me to find them?"

The princess stared at him coldly and said:

"Act! I see you're not willing to tell me even when you're about to die? You better think it over! It will be too late to regret it later!"

"Speak...! What do you want me to say? I can't just find a random place to deceive the princess, right?"

Li Yu said anxiously.

The princess looked at Li Yu's expression and was inevitably a little hesitant, but then she thought: Humans are always cunning and must not be easily trusted! Let him suffer first!

Immediately sighed and said:

"Alas! Why are you doing this? Do you have to seek trouble for yourself?"

Then he waved his hand.

The two demon soldiers immediately carried Li Yu, who was howling like a ghost, and walked out!

The so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Cave is actually a huge snake cave! Snakes are revered as snake immortals by the demons, so this snake cave is also called the Ten Thousand Immortals Cave! Ten Thousand Immortals, you can imagine that the number of snakes in the Ten Thousand Immortals is extremely huge, at least tens of thousands!

The number of snakes in the Demon Clan's Ten Thousand Immortals Cave is even greater, at least in the millions. That's because this so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Cave is a barrier that protects the tomb of the ancestors of the Demon Clan! It's called a cave, but in fact it's a wide moat across the front of the tomb! However, what flows in this moat is not water, but millions of disgusting snakes! And it's bottomless!

When Li Yu was brought to the so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Cave, smelling the disgusting fishy smell and listening to the "hissing" sound, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and his whole body going limp! He didn't know what was in the Ten Thousand Immortals Cave. Out of fear of the unknown, he couldn't help but think of handing over the ring! But then he thought again, since the princess's goal was the ring, she would never let him die so easily before she was sure! She was just scaring herself! Although his legs were trembling, he still gritted his teeth and held back!

The two demon soldiers tied a long rope around his waist. The princess looked at Li Yu, who was lying limp on the ground, and sneered:

"Haha! I'll give you one last chance now. If you tell me, I'll let you go immediately! Otherwise, you'll just go down and become the snake fairy's food!"

Li Yu then realized that the so-called Ten Thousand Immortals Cave was actually a snake cave! He couldn't help but tremble and said:

"I...I really don't know what you...you are talking about!"

"Haha! It seems that you won't cry even if you see a coffin! In that case, I will grant your wish!"

He immediately shouted at the two demon soldiers:

"What are you still standing there for? Put him down now!"

The two demon soldiers immediately agreed, lifted Li Yu to the edge of the snake cave, and slowly lowered him with the rope!

Li Yu, who was slowly falling, saw the pitch-black, bottomless water below, smelled the pungent smell, and heard the hissing sound. He couldn't help but feel horrified, his face turned pale, and sweat broke out all over his body! He immediately took out the realgar hidden in the powder box and put it in his arms.

The reason why he was not afraid of this snake cave was because he had something to rely on. Otherwise, he might have really handed over the ring containing the golden wood and the spirit crystal fruit.

To be honest, by this point, the princess had completely believed Li Yu's words. If a person really had a secret, he would be scared to death by seeing so many snakes and would definitely tell the truth. But until now, although Li Yu's face turned pale, he did not change his words, which meant that the ring was indeed not in his hand.

Originally, if Li Yu begged for mercy, the princess would have let the two demon soldiers bring him up. However, this kid seemed to be born without the ability to beg for mercy. Although he was scared and screamed, he did not say a word of begging for mercy. The princess was also very annoyed and turned around and left! She thought: Since you are stubborn, I will let you stay in there for a day. Whether you live or die depends on your fate!

When the two demon soldiers saw the princess leaving, they lost their patience and suddenly increased the speed of lowering the rope. As a result, Li Yu's falling speed also increased suddenly!

The further he went down, the stronger the fishy smell became, and the louder the hissing sound became! That sound was like a steel needle, piercing his brain and causing him a sharp pain!

Then he saw countless ugly snake heads of all sizes and colors appearing in front of him! They raised their heads one by one, their tongues kept moving, staring at him with their small eyes as big as green beans. He couldn't help but get goose bumps all over his body! He felt dizzy and nauseous! He couldn't help but want to close his eyes!

However, he knew that the more at this time, the more he must not panic! It was like encountering a mad dog when begging. The more panicked you were, the more rampant the dog would become! And you would only be attacked more crazily by the vicious dog!

He immediately took out the piece of realgar and held it in his hand. Realgar is a herb that clears away heat and detoxifies, but it is even more effective in repelling mosquitoes. Especially those poisonous snakes have a natural fear of realgar.

Therefore, when he descended to the bottom of the snake cave, the poisonous snakes that had raised their heads in hope all retreated, not daring to approach him. As a result, a clearing of more than two meters in radius was formed around him! Although the poisonous snakes screamed, they did not dare to approach Li Yu!

Li Yu, who was originally worried that there were too many snakes and that realgar might not be useful, could not help but feel relieved! He was no longer afraid of those ugly poisonous snakes. You know, in this environment, fear is useless! It will only make you lose your mind and drive you crazy! The final result is that you will scare yourself to death!

It was just that the mucus flowing on the ground, which exuded a foul smell and a strong fishy smell, made him feel sick! It made him feel irritated! But he couldn't hold his breath like the monks, so he could only resist the urge to vomit and carefully observe the surrounding terrain.

He didn't know how long he would stay here, nor was he sure if the princess would pull him up again. However, he had to find a place for himself to stay.

The rope was still there. However, he could not use it to return to the ground. Because when he was lowered, he found that the rope was just tied to a tree as thick as his arm. Not to mention that he did not have the ability to climb up the abyss that was about a hundred feet high, even if he had the ability, the tree could not bear his weight.

Of course, he could also use his dog-beating stick to get to the ground. However, he was not sure whether his dog-beating stick could be infinitely long! At the same time, he was not sure whether the two demon soldiers stayed on the ground to monitor him!

He immediately looked around, trying to find a raised rock or platform for himself to stand on, or at least sit down and rest. He might be able to endure staying in this half-foot-deep mucus temporarily, but if he stayed here for a long time, even if the venomous snakes did not attack him, he would be fainted by the suffocation if not killed!
