The moment the foreign object slashed across the skin, Yu Xing guessed what it was.

The scales are too obvious, hard and cold, and have a breathing sensation. They are unique to cold-blooded animals... fresh and quiet.

In the darkness, the sliding sound became more and more obvious from invisible. It was not about moving away when touched, but about entanglement and tighter.

Yu Xing felt the sensation of the snake's body slowly entangled. He did not move because the same sound had already surrounded him from all directions, with a dense and suffocating atmosphere.

Many snakes.

The snakes were entangled and spreading and squeezing in the dark. At this moment, he seemed not to have entered the worship room, but to have stepped into the snake cave without realizing it.

The water in the air accumulates more and more, and gradually becomes wet and heavy. Yu Xing even breathes with a blockage. He reaches out and holds down the cold-blooded animal that has swam to the base of his thighs, and licks it quickly by the cold forked tongue.

Yu Xing: "..."

The snake did not bite him, but the licked palm quickly felt a numb feeling. As the cold air flow entangled his fingers, the ticking sound of water came from Yu Xing's ears.

Is it poison?

He shook his head, and he would not have fallen into hallucination after being licked. He silently mobilized the power of the curse to dispel the numbness, and at the same time he thought about how to drive the snake away.

After hesitating for a while, his other leg was also wrapped around by a snake. Not only that, the dense snake body that might exist on the ground tends to crawl towards him.

It was a little troublesome... Yu Xing tried to pull the snake's head and was bitten directly.

The sharp snake teeth pierced his tiger's mouth, and a stinging pain came. Yu Xing frowned. It was not because this was nothing to him, but because the snakes had too strong entanglement ability and it was not a big deal to move their steps.

But now he doesn't want to hurt these snakes rashly, to avoid this action triggering some hidden rules on the bronze statue. Otherwise, as long as he waves his hand, the snakes will die and be a large number of them.

Yiqing said this was a water snake...

Water snakes don’t know whether they are afraid of fire.

Yu Xing remembers that places like the worship room usually have candlesticks. People usually want to sacrifice something and have to light candles. This is called the ritual sense of life.

If there were no accidents in this worship room, you might also find the candlelight.

Then the question comes again. He has walked more than ten meters - at least more than ten meters in his perception, so where he is now, isn't the so-called worship room?

In the darkness, Yu Xing's eyes lit up, and his pupils quietly turned into ice blue, as if a layer of solid ice was attached.

The water flow under the ice is still flowing slowly, rotating and surging... reflecting some non-existent light spots.

There is some hidden light in Yu Xing's retina. Even in a completely dark space, the glimmer of light is easily overlooked.

But this little light has become the best guide.

Hey, his psychic eye is really useful at this time.

Yu Xing followed the direction of the light and felt that the snake wrapped around him had become lighter. Even the snake that should have been swimming on the ground ahead disappeared, as if it was slowly fading.

The more you follow the light spot, the less restraints you are. The humid air and the suppressed astringent feeling fade outward, and the ticking sound of water becomes smaller and smaller until you can't hear it—

Yu Xing reached out and touched a smooth table.

In the silence, only the snake on his leg had a little presence. The snake body became as light as a feather, as if when he raised his leg, the snake would be blown away by a subtle airflow.

Yu Xing didn't care and continued to fumble on the table. First, he touched a small bronze statue with a familiar shape. He paused, put down the bronze statue, and then successfully found the unused thick candle next to it.

The matchbox was placed next to the candle. He lit a match and lit the wick. The hazy halo suddenly emanated.

The light illuminated the surrounding scene. The wooden rooms were quaint and old, and the walls were stained with mold.

There were many miscellaneous items on the table, including candlesticks, gold masks, locust tree branches, etc., which looked like items related to sacrifices. A small bronze statue was quietly placed in the center, like a woman looking at him without blinking.

Yu Xing measured the distance. He just touched the bronze statue for the first time. The bronze statue should be on the edge of the table. In just a blink of an eye, it teleported?

This bronze statue is quite worthy of face, and I think it is in the center that suits her noble temperament.

"Why don't you reply to my words?" Yi Qing asked behind her.

Yu Xing turned around and saw that the floor of the house was clean and there were several futons on the ground, but there were no traces of snakes.

The snake nest, the sound of water, and the humid air seemed to be just something he imagined, a dirty illusion in a confusion, dragging him into trouble.

Moreover, the place where he is standing is actually a table closest to the door, which is only three or four meters away, not even ten meters at all.

Is it really just an illusion? Without even a single inducement, can this place allow him to fall into an illusion without any awareness?

Thinking of this, Yu Xing suddenly raised his hand to look at the tiger's mouth, where there was a shallow mark, two blood spots side by side. If he saw it a little later, the wound would heal.

As soon as he saw this small injury, a numb feeling swept over and over again in his mind. Yu Xing shook his hand and realized that it was not entirely an illusion, but a cognitive problem.

He still feels that being able to tamper with cognition is a real horror, and human memory is the cause and rule of behavior. If even memory can be distorted at will, this person can only step into the net woven by others step by step.

For example, he was really bitten just now, but this place is not a snake cave, nor is there a snake.

Is there a possibility that in fact, he found the way to the snake cave in this room... or something else. He had already walked in and walked around, then went back to the worship room, and then his memory was twisted, making him think that he had never left here and everything he felt just now was fake?

This kind of thing is incapable of verification and symbolizes loss of control.

Fortunately, he is not alone, and there is a ghost next to him.

"What's wrong with me just now? Did you call me but didn't reply to you?" Yu Xing asked quietly.

"..." Yiqing's face was hazy under the candlelight. He seemed to have wanted to answer immediately, but when he spoke, he forgot what to say, and his expression was a little confused. "Strange, I saw you walking straight to the table, so I wanted to call you..."

"It should be like this...but..."

"It seems that something is wrong."

"You have been walking all the time and haven't stopped. It took you a few seconds to get here from the door. Why do I feel that it's been a long time..."

Yiqing's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became solemn when he spoke.

He died for a long time and had seen a lot of things. His mind was not slower than Yu Xing at the moment. He immediately realized: "It's not right, Yu Xing, something has happened, but I can't remember it."

Yu Xing rubbed his temples.

Even Yiqing said this, and his worries were indeed correct.

"Let's first--" Before he finished speaking, Yu Xing suddenly opened his eyes slightly.

Because the worship room is getting brighter and brighter.

The light of the candlelight gradually became unnecessary, and the light of the sky came in from the window, and the entire worship room was shrouded.

Yu Xing turned his head suddenly and was stunned for a rare moment.

It's actually...it's dawn.
