Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Henian took the lead and charged into the snake swarm. The feathers in his hands fluttered in the wind like sharp blades, moving haphazardly left, right, up, and down. A flurry of slashing, scraping, stabbing, and poking, accompanied by a rusty, fishy smell, began to fill the air.

On the other side, Hei Xiazi also held a gun in one hand and directly attacked the snake's head and seven-inch spot. As they got closer, there were still some snakes that slipped through the net. At this time, Hei Xiazi held a dagger in his other hand and slashed and cut with great force.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qilin, wielding the Black Gold Ancient Blade, charged through the swarm of snakes, forcing the crested serpents into retreat. Not only were these three perfectly coordinated, but even Xie Yuchen joined in to help.

Seeing this, the others also began to help. Led by Wu Sanxing, they organized a fight around the perimeter of the snake swarm, trying to prevent any snakes from escaping and affecting the few people who were fighting fiercely inside the snake swarm.

A dozen minutes later, the once endless swarm of snakes began to slowly recede, and the red snake carcasses scattered on the ground covered the surrounding area. The group of crested snakes that had surrounded the area were also gradually retreating, but they still maintained a circular area surrounding the group.

"Pah! Fatty's finally figured it out today! These guys really want to kill us!"

"If we're surrounded like this, what chance do we have of surviving!"

Fatty Wang was covered in blood and grime. The gun he had been holding was now tucked into his waistband, and he was now holding a dagger with sticky drops of blood dripping from it. His eyes were wide open, and he cursed viciously with a fierce expression.

"Fatty is right, Third Uncle. We need to think of a way to break out quickly. We can't stay surrounded like this, or we'll all perish in the snake's mouth sooner or later."

Wu Xie was supporting himself on his knees with both hands, holding a dagger in his hand. His legs were trembling, and the wound on his back was painfully pulled. When he attacked just now, he felt like he was about to see his ancestor who had been dead for many years.

What method should we try?

"What can we do now? We're surrounded so tightly, there's no way out!"

"You can't even climb a tree now! You can't see them, right? There are plenty of pheasant necks hiding in the treetops these days!"

Wu Sanxing was also very angry. He had been to Tamutuo before and had never seen this situation before.

I really don't know which powerful figure we offended this time. All that incense we've burned for so long hasn't done anything to help us in this crisis!

"Ah!" Thump!

Even after the snakes retreated, the group remained vigilant. Suddenly, a scream pierced the jungle and shot into the sky from among the people who had been standing guard.

what's the situation?

Who's yelling? What happened?

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately looked towards the person who made it.

Qin Henian also diverted some attention and looked toward the person who made the sound. He saw a tall and strong man with a robust physique.

The burly man was the one Qin Henian had observed talking to Wu Sanxing earlier. To be honest, after carefully observing the man's appearance and scrutinizing him, Qin Henian couldn't help but chuckle.

The laughter was especially noticeable when everyone was on guard, and they all turned to look at Qin Henian.

At this moment, Qin Henian and his gold and blue robe were completely free of bloodstains and even dust.

Of course, under normal circumstances, clean clothes would be perfectly normal, but the situation is different now. Not only are they all injured, but there are several still-warm corpses at their feet. Their clothes are tattered and filthy. How can someone have fought so hard and still be clean...?

"Cough~ Why is everyone looking at me?"

"It's making me feel kind of embarrassed... Shouldn't we be looking at that tall, strong guy who looks like a bear?"

Qin Henian narrowed his eyes and looked at the burly "Big Bear" who had made the sound. He pointed at the mop, which had already fainted, but that did not stop Qin Henian from expressing his doubts to the crowd.

"Pfft! Big Bear?"

"He Nian, are you saying he looks like a bear with a tiger-like head?"

Although Hei Xiazi didn't know who Xiong Da was, it didn't prevent him from having accurate comprehension. Xiong Da has a bear in his name, so he's a bear.

"Cough cough... Blind man, you're really smart!"

Qin Henian nodded, indicating that Hei Xiazi's understanding was completely correct.

"Who are you calling Xiong Da! What bear?! You're not allowed to talk about our boss like that! Our boss has a name! Our boss is called Mop!"

One of the guys closest to the mop retorted on behalf of his boss.

"Tsk tsk..."

Qin Henian clicked his tongue twice and then ignored the mop. He tilted his head and looked at Wu Sanxing.

"Uncle Wu Xie, the bear you brought seems to have been frightened. His face turned pale and he fainted."

Qin Henian sensed that the scream just now was from Tuoba, but there wasn't much blood on him. Maybe it was because he was hiding in a good position, or maybe it was just luck. In any case, this bear named Tuoba wasn't injured, but the scream just now was real. Now he was dizzy and no one knew what was going on.

Hiss, hiss...

The hissing sound echoed through the forest, growing louder and louder. Qin Henian turned his head and focused his attention on the woods ahead. With his phoenix eyes magnified, he saw many crested snakes gathering around them. If they couldn't find a way to escape this situation, they would be in trouble.

"Little Qilin, Little Blind Man, can you hear me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Henian saw Zhang Qilin's expressionless face turn into one of trouble.

We must leave here immediately!

As Zhang Qilin's resounding voice fell, he looked at Wu Sanxing, his eyes filled with vigilance and caution.

Black Bear, who was standing to the side, also stopped smiling and agreed with what Zhang Qilin said.

"Leave? How do we leave? This place is full of snakes. Which way do we go?"

Wu Sanxing was not unaware of the seriousness of the situation, but he had been trapped for almost half an hour. Not to mention trying to come up with a solution, just looking at the several corpses lying on the ground showed that he had tried many ways to break out, but all of them ended in failure.

"Use fire!"

"Little Qilin, clear the way!"

Qin Henian put away the feather in his hand, his tense body suddenly relaxed, and he lazily waved his arms and legs before walking towards Zhang Qilin.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Qilin was puzzled.

"Fire is the element that overcomes everything in the jungle."

A smile appeared on Qin Henian's lips, and his fair and clean face instantly blossomed like a rose, dazzling and radiant.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qilin raised his hand and put away the black gold ancient sword. He recalled practicing the fusion summoning command in the courtyard. Right now, he and Little Qilin are still two individuals. They can only summon each other but cannot merge. According to Qin Henian, they are each other. He is Qilin and Qilin is him. It's just that they haven't found the opportunity to merge yet.

Touching his chest, Zhang Qilin pressed his heart, feeling its pounding and the warmth within his body.

"Summon!"
