Chapter 2.23 Fantasy (Extra)

Snake Ancestor was simply a fool and chased after Pampered Guy, asking him how old he was. Pampered Guy was obviously teasing him and casually replied, “Older than your grandfather?”

“No way, you look as old as my dad.” When Snake Ancestor said that, Pampered Guy touched his face and said, “When did your father give birth to you? What kind of praise is that?”

Poker-Face finally couldn’t listen anymore and looked back at Little Brother Zhang: “You should go back home.”

Pampered Guy immediately shut up and made a gesture to Snake Ancestor to be quiet: “Concentrate.”

“What is this?” Snake Ancestor pointed to the smoke, and Pampered Guy said, “This is insect fragrant jade to bring the insects here. Don’t worry, the tea in your hand can protect you once or twice, but it won’t help if you run into them.”

“Shh!” Poker-Face silenced us once more, and I suddenly heard a series of movements above our heads.

The three of us looked up and Snake Ancestor clenched his teeth. Two snakes slithered up his neck, as if they wanted to make an all-around defense. I saw a colorful insect hanging upside down from the roof, which quickly crawled into our field of vision.

Poker-Face swung his broken Yi knife, jumped on the beam with one foot, and then leaped from beam to beam like a bat, catching up with the bug in almost half a second. He still had the basin in his hand, and his knife was held in a reverse grip. He released his hold on the knife, but the handle had a strap that was attached to his wrist, so it swung like a meteor hammer and hit the bug. When he pulled his wrist back, the knife turned in a 360-degree circle around his wrist and returned to his hand

The bug was still struggling, so Poker-Face put it in the basin, where the high temperature inside immediately made it squeak. He then directly stabbed the bug and randomly threw it into the pool below.

“One.” Pampered Guy said, “There are still sixty-seven left.”

“How do you know how many there are?” Snake Ancestor was surprised, but he suddenly felt the snakes at his waist tremble, and a colorful insect twice as big as the one just now jumped down from the roof.

Snake Ancestor had immediately jumped back and did a tumble roll as soon as he felt the snakes tremble. The bug fell to the ground and immediately jumped towards Pampered Guy’s feet.

Pampered Guy flipped back, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and immediately spit something out of his mouth. The thing glinted in the light as it hit the bug, and I realized it was the iron piece he usually kept in his mouth.

The bug was crucified on the hall floor, and Snake Ancestor immediately took out the medicinal liquor and poured it on top. The bug curled up as it burned, and Poker-Face came down, slapped it with the knife, and shot it into the water.

“Two down. It’s a good start.” Pampered Guy shook hand. He must not have expected the attack just now, and his hand was a little numb.

“That’s a spitting skill.” Snake Ancestor said, “How can you spit so much? Can you teach me?”

“How can you possibly call this a ‘spitting skill’. I’m not going to teach you anything since you’ve said something so offensive.” Pampered Guy took out some smaller pieces of iron from his shuikao and put them in his mouth one by one. “I’ve practiced this skill since I was a kid. Even if I kissed a girl right now, she wouldn’t have any idea that there were so many things hidden in my mouth. Your snakes are fast, but they can’t attack. When those bugs come down, you contain them, and I’ll kill them.” As soon as he spoke, I heard the crawling sound of insect feet start spreading throughout the village. I looked up and saw a lot of bugs crawling up on the roof, on the pillars, and under the floor.

“The females are coming.” Pampered Guy pointed to the seven o’clock direction: “Little Snake, let’s cover Big Brother Zhang so he can deal with the big ones, and we’ll deal with the small ones.”

As soon as he said that, Poker-Face grabbed the backs of our necks and flung us backwards. Two poisonous bug antennae stabbed through the gap in the floor where we had just been standing. The whole floor arched up and started to crack, and we could see a monster as big as a calf was underneath. Almost at the same time, the letter snake that was coiled around Snake Ancestor’s neck bit Poker-Face’s hand.
