"Who are you? Why are you trapped here?"
Lin Ran looked at the withered figure struggling in the chains and spoke in a deep voice.
"Huff…"
The previous struggle seemed to have consumed a lot of his energy, and the skeleton-like figure was breathing rapidly.
Lin Ran could clearly feel that extremely cold energy was constantly emanating from the four huge chains, consuming the fighting spirit in his body, making him always in an extremely weak state. However, it would not harm his life, and he could only survive in this permanent consumption.
"Yao Xiaotian is really cruel. This is even more cruel than killing him."
Seeing this, even Lin Ran couldn't help but smack his lips, and he had a new understanding of the abnormal psychology of Yao Xiaotian.
But it was precisely because of Yao Xiaotian's abnormal psychology that he was defeated by Yao Ming in the end.
Of course, in order to obtain the Nine Nether Earth Python, this kind of thing will probably happen in this world soon.
"I am the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, Yao Ming..."
Facing Lin Ran's question, the skeleton-like figure panted for a moment, and finally spoke. His voice was extremely hoarse, like sand and stone rubbing against glass, extremely harsh.
"Save me! As long as you get me out of here, I'll agree to whatever you want!" The man who called himself Yao Ming stared at Lin Ran with almost pleading eyes and said.
"The leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan?"
Lin Ran frowned, unmoved, and said indifferently: "You are an interesting guy. Even if you want to lie to me, you should at least give a more reasonable identity."
"I have met Yao Xiaotian, the current patriarch of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan, several times. Every time we met, he wanted me to visit the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan as a guest... You are quite courageous to pretend to be the patriarch of the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan."
"What fake! I am the clan leader! I am the clan leader of the Nine Netherworld Python clan!"
"That bastard, that son of a bitch, it was he who used a vicious scheme to seize my position and sealed me in the bottom of the Nine Netherworld. Ah! This beast caused me to suffer from the cold power for hundreds of years. If I am lucky enough to see the light of day again in this life, I, Yao Ming, will make his life worse than death!"
When Yao Ming heard the three words "Yao Xiaotian", his eyes instantly turned blood red, and endless hatred emerged from his eyes. His crazy roar echoed endlessly at the bottom of the underworld.
Even Lin Ran couldn't help but be shocked by the resentment.
It makes sense. This guy has been sealed in such an extremely cold environment for hundreds of years. The cold power of the Nine Netherworld invades the human body like a sharp blade, causing such pain that ordinary people cannot bear it. But this guy in front of me has suffered this kind of pain for hundreds of years.
Living a life worse than death, living like neither human nor ghost for hundreds of years...
He is still able to remain rational and not go crazy, which shows his strong character.
"Although I know Yao Xiaotian, I am more interested in the things between you brothers."
Lin Ran narrowed his eyes: "Can you tell me about the relationship between you and that demon Xiaotian?"
"I am Yao Xiaotian's biological elder brother!"
The demon hesitated for a moment, and finally said hoarsely: "Originally, I was the most legitimate candidate for the leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and many elders in the clan also favored me. Originally, the demon Xiaotian would never be able to become the leader, and he knew this in his heart, so he usually behaved respectfully to me, but secretly he was plotting a vicious plan. First, he poisoned me to greatly reduce my strength, and then he defeated me and sealed me at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld."
"Why doesn't he just kill you? That would save a lot of trouble." Lin Ran asked.
"Because he wants me to not be able to die easily...Haha, this brother is really good to me, the big brother!" At the end of his words, Yao Ming couldn't help but burst into hoarse laughter, and his laughter was filled with sadness and anger.
"Brothers fighting for power?"
Lin Ran snorted softly, "So you want me to rescue you? You should understand that Yao Xiaotian is now the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan. He must be able to mobilize a lot of elders. Even if I can rescue you, once you show up, I'm afraid your fate will not be any better."
"I have the Nine Netherworld Staff, which is the token of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's patriarch. Only those who possess the staff can be the real patriarch. As long as I can escape and get rid of Yao Tianxiao, I will be the new patriarch. The other elders dare not attack me at all!" Yao Ming said hurriedly.
"The keepsake thing isn't very convincing."
Lin Ran sneered, "I am stronger than you. If I randomly pick up a piece of stone and say it is a token, then it is a token. I am afraid that your Nine Netherworld Staff will be useless."
"I'm better than him!"
Yao Ming growled, "When I was sealed, I was only a mid-level half-saint. Although I have suffered countless pains during these hundreds of years of training with the power of the underworld, my strength has also increased. Now I have reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng. As long as I can see the light of day again, the Dou Qi in my body will be able to recover quickly and reach its peak."
"As for Yao Tianxiao, when I reached the semi-saint level, he was only at the peak of Dou Zun. With his talent, after so many years, he must have been able to reach the level of a one-star Dou Sheng. However, he has a confidant, and that is the great elder of my Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. According to my guess, this person should now also possess the strength of a top one-star Dou Sheng. Back then, this old dog also helped Yao Tianxiao to seriously injure me and seal me."
"Your guess is quite accurate. Yao Xiaotian is now a one-star Dou Sheng mid-stage. I have never seen the Great Elder, but he should be about the same."
"It's funny to say that your Nine Nether Earth Python clan, the Great Void Ancient Dragon clan, and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan are known as the three major families of demon beasts. The Great Void Ancient Dragon clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan both have warriors above the level of four or five-star Dou Sheng, while your Nine Nether Earth Python clan, tut tut tut."
Lin Ran shook his head, his tone showing no disdain at all.
Hearing this, Yao Ming fell into silence, and only spoke after a long time.
"My Nine Nether Earth Python's bloodline has begun to degenerate. In terms of peak strength, it is indeed not as good as the Sky Demon Phoenix and the Grand Void Ancient Dragon, but that doesn't mean I'm not good enough!"
"I, Yao Ming, am the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan appointed by my father. I am a genius recognized by my father. If I hadn't been imprisoned for hundreds of years, how could I only have the strength of a two-star Dou Sheng?!"
Yao Ming stared at Lin Ran with scorching eyes and said in a deep voice: "My biggest obstacle is these two. If I get rid of them, the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan will definitely be under my control. At that time, you, my friend, will be my savior. Although I, Yao Ming, am not a kind person who loves charity, my words are as good as gold. If I control the Nine Nether Earth Python Clan in the future, I will do my best to fulfill any request you have."
"no."
Lin Ran shook his head.
"Promises are the most worthless things. I don't trust you."
"If I rescue you, not only will it take a huge effort, but it will also offend Yao Xiaotian and ruin the cooperation I might have formed with him. And all this is just because of your promise... This deal is not worth it, and I can't take such a big risk."
Seeing Lin Ran say this, Yao Ming opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
What Lin Ran said was not wrong. He really had no way of making Lin Ran trust him completely when they met for the first time.
"But if you want me to save you, it's not impossible. I can even help you regain the position of clan leader after rescuing you, but there is a prerequisite..."
Lin Ran's eyes flickered as he stared at Yao Ming. He suddenly said, "You release your soul and let me place a soul seal on it. If you lie to me, I will detonate the soul seal. Even if you are a Dou Sheng, you will be severely damaged and your strength will never improve."
Hearing this, Yao Ming's expression changed slightly. This was equivalent to handing his life into the hands of someone else.
"Only in this way can I believe you. If you refuse, I will turn around and leave immediately. To be honest, I really don't want to wade into this muddy water." Lin Ran said in a deep voice.
Yao Ming gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering. He didn't want to be controlled by others, but when he thought of the suffering he had endured over the past few hundred years, the resentment in his heart surged. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I can't bear the resentment in my heart anymore and I'm going to tear that bastard into pieces!"
"good!"
Seeing that Yao Ming agreed, Lin Ran was overjoyed and said, "Then let go of the soul!"
"Huh… come on!"
Yao Ming took a deep breath, a light flickered between his eyebrows, and invisible soul power surged out, finally condensing into a giant black snake in front of him.
Seeing that the demon Ming took the initiative to summon his soul, Lin Ran smiled indifferently, his mind moved, and vast soul power emerged.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Sensing this huge soul, Yao Ming felt extremely nervous and understood immediately that once Lin Ran really imprinted his soul on his own soul, then his life would basically be under the influence of Lin Ran's gravity.
Life and death, all in the hands of one human...
"Forget it, as long as I can make that bastard pay the price, everything will be worth it!"
"bring it on!"
Yao Ming nodded heavily, Lin Ran smiled indifferently, and a wisp of fiery soul floated out, and finally quickly invaded the forehead of the black giant snake. When the soul mark swept into the forehead of the giant snake, the latter's body trembled violently, and then the snake shape dissipated and drilled into Yao Ming's eyebrows.
When those souls were stored in Yao Ming's brows, Lin Ran could also sense the latter's soul fluctuations.
Now he only needs to think about it, and the soul mark will explode instantly, blowing the latter's soul into pieces!
"You are determined, no wonder you have been able to hold on for so long in the depths of the underworld."
Lin Ran looked at Yao Ming and the chains around him: "How can I save you? Destroy these four chains?"
"No need. What's trapping me is not this chain, but the Yellow Spring Yin Stone at the end of the chain."
"The cold and yin power will continuously gush out of the Yellow Spring Yin Stone, consuming the fighting spirit in my body, thus making me always in an extremely weak state... There is an ingenious mechanism hidden in the connection between the iron chain and the mountain. As long as you can break it, these iron chains, although made of special materials, cannot trap me." Hearing this, the demon shook his head and said.
"oh?"
Lin Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, moved his body, and appeared at the end of an iron chain. As expected, he saw the iron chain deeply pierced into a pitch-black mountain. The mountain was not big, only a few dozen feet in size, but the cold power contained in it made Lin Ran extremely frightened.
This kind of cold and yin thing is simply a top treasure for those who practice cold and yin skills!
If it can be given to Xiao Yixian, wouldn't it be...
"Is this the Yellow Spring Yin Stone?"
Looking at the pitch-black mountain, Lin Ran clenched his fist, and a vast amount of fighting spirit surged out, then slammed heavily on the mountain.
"Bang!"
A huge circle of water waves rumbled and spread out from where Lin Ran's fist landed, but the dark mountain only trembled a little. Lin Ran's punch, which was enough to seriously injure a one-star Dou Sheng, only left a few marks on it!
"The Yellow Spring Yin Stone has been tempered by the Yin and cold power for countless years and has long been indestructible. It is extremely difficult to destroy it unless a mid- to high-level Dou Sheng comes."
Seeing the commotion caused by Lin Ran, Yao Ming also spoke hoarsely.
He could feel that Lin Ran's strength was even greater than his own, but even so, it was still not easy to defeat the Huangquan Yin Stone.
Lin Ran's expression remained unchanged. He bent his fingers together and a strand of extremely compressed strange fire extended out like a thin needle, gently inserting into the end of the iron chain where it was inserted into the mountain. After a long while, he finally felt that he touched an extremely hard round object. He exerted force with his fingers suddenly, and the fire needle pierced into the hard round ball.
"Crack!"
When the fire needle pierced the sphere, Lin Ran suddenly felt a strange wave coming from the mountain. Then, the huge iron chain broke into pieces.
"It actually succeeded?!"
at the same time.
When Lin Ran broke the seal for Yao Ming, there was a great bustle in a magnificent palace in the Nether Snake Land. Leaders of many snake tribes gathered there, and the sound of their laughter and chatter echoed in the hall.
On the throne in the hall, sat a man in black. The man looked quite handsome, but between his brows, there was an undisguised coldness. When his eyes opened and closed slightly, a gleam of light flashed, like a poisonous snake that could kill a person in an instant, making people feel chilled.
Next to the man, two women with enchanting figures were carefully massaging his bodies.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the man in black opened his slightly closed eyes, with a look of shock in his eyes: "The seal is broken?"
"Chief, what's wrong?" Below the man, an old man with a red poisonous snake coiled on his shoulder frowned slightly and said.
The man in black stood up suddenly, his face grim, and a faint voice reached the old man's ears.
"The seal that suppressed Yao Ming suddenly broke!"
"What? How is that possible!"
