Chapter 2.26 Fantasy (Extra)

The iron-scaled snake lay in front of Pampered Guy and Snake Ancestor, preventing all the colorful bugs from getting close to them. This kind of snake was extremely fast, and its attack efficiency was very high. Its instantaneous ability to snare the bugs far exceeded our intuitive understanding, and when it used its sharp scales to crush the bugs, it was like a shredder.

But Snake Ancestor had to withdraw the letter snakes. It seemed that this iron-scaled snake didn’t recognize any of its relatives, and would attack everything besides Snake Ancestor.

With two people’s cooperation, the bugs in the hall below were soon cleaned up, and Snake Ancestor withdrew the black snake and put it back into his hair. When they looked around and didn’t see any bugs, they climbed back to where Poker-Face was.

Poker-Face had cleared the scene perfectly. We could see that the Yi knife had returned to his dominant hand, and the flame had been extinguished.

With the exception of the female bug’s body and a few male bugs that had been caught by its antennae, all the other bugs had disappeared. Poker-Face had cleaned up well, and no visible residual limbs appeared on the floor. Most of the ground had been sprinkled with the insect fragrant jade ashes, and it seemed that we could brazenly step barefoot where the bugs had been climbing just now.

Pampered Guy opened his mouth to attack the remaining male bugs on the female, but was stopped by Poker-Face. “Be careful of that beetle, don’t let it feel threatened.”

The female bug was dead, and we could see that the bright green beetle had obviously grows in size. It seemed to be sucking the juices from the female bug’s corpse.

Snake Ancestor took out medicinal liquor and looked at the beam. He wanted to climb up, pour the medicinal liquor on the female bug’s body from above, and then ignite it.

He didn’t know what kind of bug it was, but the safest way was to burn and kill it.

Poker-Face stopped him.

I couldn’t really get a feel for the state of this scene at the moment, but I clearly realized what Poker-Face was feeling.

I hadn’t been too nervous the entire time, because I knew that Poker-Face was very good when he passed by me for the first time.

But at this point, I had a feeling that seemed to resonate with Pampered Guy and Snake Ancestor. (Black Glasses said that this kind of process confused emotions, because they weren’t being gradually produced, but piled up at once. At the moment I came into contact with this kind of thing, all the information had poured in. I was experiencing a lot of hallucinations in a very short period of time, so the subsequent coma was actually the body’s way of healing after receiving such a brain injury.)

This kind of process was a very dangerous thing, because it would make you form an emotional resonance with some of the people in the shortest amount of time. As a result, most people couldn’t handle such complicated emotions all at once.

To be honest, I didn’t want to see Pampered Guy and Snake Ancestor die in this illusion, but Poker-Face’s state made me feel that he had lost his grasp of the present situation, which had me worried.

Poker-Face rarely lost his confidence. Even in the face of unknown situations, his experience was so rich that he always seemed to be able to predict certain situations. Even if he hadn’t experienced it, he could probably sense how things would go.

I didn’t know why this bug made him feel this way until I saw his injured hand.

His palm had been cut, and the footprints on the floor led close to the female bug’s corpse.

He had tested the green beetle, but it obviously had no reaction to his blood.

“This bug is from that door.” Poker-Face said faintly: “Be careful, it will attract those things.”

Oh ho, door you say? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Could it be the bronze door?
