Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 28 A Blessing in Disguise: Soul Devouring Pill

When Long Yu heard the scream of Ying Lili that pierced the sky and hurried over from the main hall of Hanyuan Palace, he just saw Ying Lili being swallowed whole by the giant snake!
Seeing this, anger suddenly rose in his emerald green eyes, and all of a sudden, hundreds of cold lights as thin as silk threads shot out from his fingertips, twisting into all kinds of strange shapes in the air, interweaving into a dense net, covering the giant snake's head!
If it were any other day, Long Yu would have used his ultimate move to turn the giant snake into annihilation. However, considering Ying Lili who was swallowed by the giant snake, he was afraid of hurting her, so he had to choose the most cautious and conservative way, and first trapped the giant snake in a net formed by the gathering of spiritual power.
But the giant snake was not a vegetarian. The jade horns on its head suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light. Although its huge body did not get rid of the net covering its head, it gradually disappeared in the light along with the net!
Just as it appeared out of nowhere, it disappeared out of nowhere again!
The black-faced woman from the Kongming tribe had used this technique in the third round of the Yonghui Martial Arts Competition five hundred years ago. Although he had only seen it once, it left a deep impression on him.
This is the legendary "telekinesis" of the Kongming clan!
Thinking of this, Long Yu's face was as solemn as ice. How could anyone get into his palace now? First it was the Shamo people, then the unknown children, and now even the Kongming people can come here to run wild and kill people under his nose! This was undoubtedly a heavy slap in the face of the extremely proud Long Yu.
His face was livid at this moment, and he was furious. He slapped the thick pillar with his backhand, and the pillar shattered into powder. Fortunately, it was not a load-bearing pillar, otherwise it would have almost destroyed this side hall!
"Your Highness!" Feng Yan, who arrived a step late, spoke in time to stop Long Yu's anger from spreading.
Feng Yan rushed in anxiously, holding the black crystal sword in his hand. He glanced vigilantly at the messy surroundings, but found no trace of the enemy. He looked at Long Yu in confusion, but only saw Long Yu's face full of anger.
Feng Yan and Long Yu were in the main hall of Hanyuan Palace together before. After hearing the scream, he and Long Yu rushed over together. However, considering that the woman in the room seemed to be taking a bath, Feng Yan hesitated for a moment and did not rush in immediately. Seeing that the prince rushed in without hesitation, he hesitated again and again, but still rushed in, but he had missed the most crucial content.
Therefore, he didn't know what had just happened in the house, and he didn't even know who the enemy was. However, one glance just now made him realize that something bad had happened. The girl disappeared out of thin air!
Moreover, it happened in the Hanyuan Palace where he was stationed, right under the eyes of His Highness... Even though Feng Yan was fearless, he couldn't help but shiver at this moment.
Long Yu, who was furious before, finally calmed himself down a little. He closed his eyes slightly, and pinched his fingers to perform the Life Spirit Secret!
Although the giant snake disappeared, Long Yu immediately used his spiritual power to set up an extremely large barrier, which actually enclosed the entire palace in his strict barrier. At this time, not to mention the giant snake, even a mosquito could not fly out! At this time, he only needed to concentrate and sense everything in the barrier. He could clearly identify
Everything in the palace flashed by like a revolving lantern in his half-closed eyes, until a dark shadow buried deep underground flashed by. He suddenly opened his eyes and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth in hatred: "Southwest, 'Five Poison Garden', underground!"
Feng Yan's pupils dilated slightly when he heard this, and he was slightly stunned , wondering how he could be underground? Before he could ask, Long Yu had already turned into a gust of wind and disappeared in front of him. Feng Yan's eyelids jumped, and he quickly chased after him!
On the other side, Ying Lili, who was swallowed alive by the giant snake, was fine at this time. Of course, the definition of good is that he is still alive and has all his limbs.
After being sucked into the giant snake's mouth by the huge suction force, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she saw a black hole. It was so pitch black that she could hardly see her hand in front of her. At this moment, she was almost lying in the black hole and could not stand up at all. She felt that there was sticky mucus all around her. Because she was lying down and Ping Lili was only wrapped in a thin skirt at this time, the mucus almost covered her whole body. It smelled fishy and unpleasant. It was a disgusting feeling that could not be expressed in words. She was choked and almost unable to breathe.
Ying Lili tried hard to suppress the churning in her stomach, not knowing what to do. She knew clearly in her heart that she should be in the belly of the giant snake. However, she had heard that the stomach acid of giant snakes was highly corrosive. The mucus around her seemed to be fine. In that case, it should not have reached her stomach yet. This was a blessing in disguise, otherwise, Ying Lili could already imagine herself turning into a pool of pus.
The strange thing was that she was no longer afraid at this moment. Perhaps it was the instinct for survival that made her subconsciously forget to be afraid, and her mind was only thinking about how to get out.
She suddenly remembered the short black iron blade she had held in her hand. When she stretched out her hand, she found that her hands were empty. She had lost it when the giant snake swallowed her. Yinglili felt a surge of regret in her heart. That was the only thing Mo Yi left for her. She had hoped to use that thing to cut open the giant snake's belly so that she could get out. What should she do now?
Fortunately, Ying Lili was an extremely optimistic person. He thought that since he was holding it when he was swallowed, he was definitely still in the belly of the giant snake. He became much more optimistic after thinking this way.
What made Ying Lili even more curious was that although the snake looked very big before, was it really that big? It could swallow a big person like her whole and not die of bloating! Could it be that the size of the snake could be expanded and contracted freely?
At this moment, a faint light suddenly flashed in the dark front. For Gonglili, who was like a blind man and could only grope around, this was undoubtedly a beacon in the darkness. With a determined heart, he didn't even care what was in front of him. Gonglili decided to crawl over to see what was going on.
Although Yinglili was not far from the light source, only about ten steps away, the increasingly sticky mucus and the almost pungent fishy smell made her feel as if she had been crawling for half a century. The sickening swelling and shrinking feeling coming from the walls, exuding the rhythm of life, also reminded Yinglili that she was in the stomach of a living creature...
After a lot of effort and a difficult journey, before Pinglili was about to pass out from the stench, he finally saw the object that emitted the light.
Ping Lili squinted her eyes to see clearly that the glowing object was actually an ice-blue bead the size of a goose egg, emitting a brilliant light!
The ice-blue bead was now surrounded by a layer of transparent mesh material, emitting a strange light. Ping Lili didn't know what it was, but her intuition told her that it should be some treasure. She subconsciously reached out to grab the bead. As soon as her fingers touched the transparent mesh material, the thing was like an octopus with life. It flew out like silver threads and tightly entangled Ping Lili. Ping Lili's breathing suddenly became rapid, and she felt a creepy feeling of weakness all over her body. She thought, is this really going to cost me my life?
At this time, an accident happened again!
When the transparent mesh spread to Ping Lili's left shoulder, Ping Lili keenly felt a familiar burning sensation. He was actually secretly delighted. Looking back, he found that the Suzaku mark on his shoulder that had disappeared had reappeared as expected!
This is the amulet that has helped Ping Lili to turn danger into safety many times. When he saw the Vermillion Bird mark appear, Ping Lili felt as if he had taken a reassurance pill.
As expected, with the appearance of the Vermillion Bird mark, something even more bizarre happened. The glittering ice-blue beads actually rippled with a water-colored halo, and then the beads suddenly transformed into several flowing lights, which all rushed towards the bright red Vermillion Bird mark on the shoulder of Ping Lili. At this time, the mark had fully spread its wings, and was madly absorbing the lights like a bottomless whirlpool. Ping Lili suddenly felt waves of warm coolness instantly flowing down from his left shoulder and throughout his body, which was indescribably comfortable.
After half a cup of tea, the ice-blue bead disappeared completely, and the transparent net that was wrapped around his body also dissipated quietly. At this time, Ping Lili felt that his whole body was extremely transparent, and the previous nausea and dizziness also faded away one by one. At this time, his fingertips were slightly hot, and he felt that thousands of spiritual powers were gathering here. Ping Lili was delighted. Could it be that he absorbed something good?
Just as he was concentrating his energy to test whether his cultivation had improved further, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out faintly: "Is that girl dead?"
This sentence made Yinglili subconsciously stop what he was doing. Although the voice was not loud and seemed to be very far away, probably through the giant snake's body, Yinglili still heard it very clearly. Who was this? Could it be the person who ordered the giant snake to kill him?
Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it somewhere before! Who is it? Ying Lili tried hard to search in her memory. When Ying Lili was trying to guess the identity of the familiar female voice, another hoarse voice came over: "It's in the belly of my unicorn jade snake. I guess it has already turned into a pool of pus."
When Ping Lili heard this, she was furious and made a fuss in her heart, "If I get out , I will turn you into pus first!"
