Chapter 253: Chapter 253: The Pei Family is Not to be Trifled With_1
"Fine, I’m coming in! Don’t regret it! Don’t think that just because you have a tortoise shell, I can’t break through it!"
Pei Yuanbing was fuming with anger.
He originally did not want to take out his magical artifact or use his ultimate move.
Now, he had to use it.
Because, taking advantage of tonight’s God-given opportunity, Pei Yuanbing had to obliterate Qin Feng and Zhen Haoren together.
Pei Yuanbing took out a snake skin mask and put it on his face.
Then, he started dancing a strange dance, mumbling incantations under his breath.
Qin Feng listened carefully for a while, he could tell that Pei Yuanbing was chanting spells, but he didn’t know what the specific spell was.
Additionally, Pei Yuanbing’s dance steps, while seemingly strange, were actually him stepping on floor mechanisms.
Without any surprises, he should be activating some Formation.
When getting hold of that map, Qin Feng had already deduced that Suolong Cave contained mechanisms, and they were man-made.
The mechanisms inside here had definitely been meticulously set up by the Pei Family over eight hundred years.
As the Pei Family’s decision-maker, Pei Yuanbing naturally knew how to use the mechanisms inside Suolong Cave.
The Black Dragon’s task for the Pei Family was that without its permission, no one should enter Suolong Cave.
If someone sneaked into Suolong Cave, no matter who it was, they had to die.
If the person who sneaked into Suolong Cave reached the Yin Yang Pond, then the Pei Family’s decision-maker had to die!
That is to say, as long as Qin Feng reached the Yin Yang Pond, Pei Yuanbing had to die!
If the Black Dragon said he would die at the third watch of the night, he definitely wouldn’t live until the fourth watch.
Whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, fist-sized holes appeared on the walls of the cave, and one by one, snake heads poked out.
These snake heads, carved out of stone, looked vivid and lifelike, as if they were real.
"Open the snake mouths!"
Pei Yuanbing shouted loudly, and the stone snake heads opened their mouths.
"Spit the snake poison!"
Pei Yuanbing yelled again, and clouds of multicolored smoke billowed out from their mouths.
Qin Feng realized that the snake skin mask worn by Pei Yuanbing was to protect him from these snake poisons.
Seeing the snake poison spraying out, Zhen Haoren hastily used a breath-holding technique.
However, the snake poison still penetrated his nostrils and mouth, and in less than two minutes, he was poisoned and fainted away.
Seeing Zhen Haoren collapse, Pei Yuanbing immediately activated another mechanism.
A wrist-thick iron chain descended from above, wrapping around Zhen Haoren’s body like a serpent, binding him tightly.
Zhen Haoren was not an ordinary person; he had True Qi in his Dantian, which the Black Dragon coveted the most.
Therefore, Pei Yuanbing wanted to use Zhen Haoren as a sacrificial offering to the Black Dragon.
On Qin Feng’s side, the multicolored snake poison had already surrounded him, enveloping his Golden Bell Shield.
The snake poison was slowly penetrating, and it would soon infiltrate the Golden Bell Shield.
"Your tortoise shell might keep snakes out, but it definitely can’t stop snake poison. So now, you have two options.
The first option is to submit to death willingly, and I might spare your wife. But in that case, I’ll have to have my way with your wife."
As for the second option, that’s for me to kill you and then present your wife to the Black Dragon as a gift.
If I take her for myself, at least I am human. The Black Dragon, however, is not human. Offering her to it, your wife, after being desecrated by it, will be bitten to death in one bite!"
Pei Yuanbing was coaxing Qin Feng because he feared that the snake venom he had released wouldn’t kill Qin Feng, so he wanted Qin Feng to surrender and accept his death willingly!
As for Xue Xiaochan, although she had entered the Dragon Lock Cave, she hadn’t stepped into the forbidden area, so the Black Dragon was unaware of her presence.
The Black Dragon didn’t know about this beauty that could rival national treasures, and naturally, Pei Yuanbing wanted to keep her for himself!
He wouldn’t be so foolish as to present everything to the Black Dragon!
He hadn’t even offered the most beautiful widow in Qiuniu Village to the Black Dragon, only giving it the less attractive one.
For the past eight hundred years, on the surface, the Black Dragon controlled the Pei Family, but in reality, the Pei Family used the power of the Black Dragon to bully others in Anlong Town.
The Pei Family wasn’t just anyone; if not for the Black Dragon’s great utility, the Pei Family had the capability to eliminate the Black Dragon.
The most powerful person in the Pei Family wasn’t Pei Chunlan.
The Pei Family had an ancestor named Pei Yangxiu who was 833 years old and was cultivating on Qiuniu Mountain.
Even the members of the Pei Family didn’t know Pei Yangxiu’s whereabouts. But in times when the Pei Family faced an existential crisis, Pei Yangxiu would definitely appear.
Eight hundred years ago, it was Pei Yangxiu who trapped the Black Dragon in Dragon Lock Cave.
Pei Yangxiu granted the Black Dragon a certain amount of power to manage his descendants for him. But, if the Black Dragon dared to exterminate the Pei Family, he would come back and slaughter it directly.
Therefore, for the past eight hundred years, the relationship between the Black Dragon and the descendants of the Pei Family was very delicate.
Pei Yuanbing not presenting the most beautiful widow to the Black Dragon was something, of course, the Black Dragon knew about, but it wouldn’t fuss over that.
This time, when Xue Xiaochan entered the Dragon Lock Cave, the Black Dragon naturally knew about it.
Even more, it had seen her.
The Black Dragon could see everything that happened inside Dragon Lock Cave.
Even if it didn’t leave the Dragon Lock Cave, it knew all that happened in Anlong Town as well.
If Xue Xiaochan only had her beauty, Pei Yuanbing could fail to offer her first without the Black Dragon minding too much.
But Xue Xiaochan possessed the Heaven Yin Physique.
If the Black Dragon could obtain Xue Xiaochan, who possessed the Heaven Yin Physique, it only had to fight fiercely with her for ninety-nine days before it could transform into a human form.
Then, if it could have a son with Xue Xiaochan and then eat that son, it could transform into a dragon.
In doing so, the Black Dragon would then have the opportunity to ascend to the heavens and become immortal.
The appearance of Xue Xiaochan was an opportunity that the Black Dragon had bitterly waited eight hundred years for.
Because having Xue Xiaochan would greatly increase its power.
Then, it could break free from Pei Yangxiu’s control.
The Black Dragon showed no movement not because it was not in a hurry, but because it had seen not only Xue Xiaochan but also noticed Qin Feng.
The Black Dragon could tell at a glance that Qin Feng was a man with the Heaven Yang Physique and also felt that Qin Feng had formidable strength.
However, the Black Dragon couldn’t yet judge just how strong Qin Feng truly was.
Therefore, it chose to observe from the sidelines, letting Pei Yuanbing use the mechanisms in Dragon Lock Cave to fight Qin Feng first.
With just Pei Yuanbing’s strength, he definitely couldn’t defeat Qin Feng, so the Black Dragon would secretly give Pei Yuanbing some assistance.
If Pei Yuanbing still couldn’t defeat Qin Feng even with its covert help, the Black Dragon would send out Pei Chunlan.
Even though Qin Feng had the Heaven Yang Physique, he was still so young, and his cultivation shouldn’t be too profound.
If Pei Chunlan took action, she would definitely be able to easily capture Qin Feng.
Seeing that Qin Feng hadn’t replied for a long time, Pei Yuanbing urged, "Aren’t you going to choose between the two options I gave you?"
