Chapter 1309: Poisoned Wine
Chapter 1309: Poisoned Wine
Hearing this, Black Snake fell silent.
[Have you forgotten how the King treated us?] The centipede was a little excited, [We are his subordinates, and even more so his playthings! I am really fed up with the fear of waking up every day without knowing what kind of torture I will face!! The time when the King was not in the abyss was the most comfortable time for me... I don't want to be dominated by fear anymore, I'm fed up!]
[You are crazy, you actually want to kill the king? ! ! ] Black Snake was shocked, [Do you know what you are doing? ! ]
[I know... Wang is too strong, he is invincible, but this may be my only chance... I must give it a try.]
The black snake seemed unable to understand the centipede's crazy idea. He hesitated for a long time, but still slowly moved his body and crawled out of the cave:
[I can pretend I didn't hear anything...but if you want to die, don't involve me.]
Seeing that the black snake had chosen to give up so easily, the centipede was a little angry. It let out a low hiss, as if cursing "a useless person who has been kneeling for too long", and then turned its gaze back to the palace...
It would be absolutely impossible to rashly test the king's strength... It had to find a better time.
The centipede didn't notice that while it was thinking, a scorpion quietly crawled into the ground from the corner and crawled silently towards the toad's territory nearby...
……
Chen Ling was awakened by the noise outside.
Outside the palace, it seemed extremely lively, with the roars of various underground creatures rising and falling one after another, as if they were having a grand party... At the same time, there were occasional roars and tremors.
There is no distinction between day and night in the Ghostly Abyss. It is an eternal carnival of darkness. Chen Ling calculated the time and realized that he should have slept for seven or eight hours. After waking up, the fatigue in his body had faded a lot.
He casually put on a bright red robe and walked out of the palace.
Seeing Chen Ling coming out, Wu Yi immediately leaned down consciously, as if he had been waiting outside since Chen Ling went in a few hours ago.
"What's going on outside?" Chen Ling asked.
Through Wu Yi's explanation, Chen Ling learned that the Toad Poison Head had specially taken the lead in organizing a welcoming banquet to celebrate his return. The entire Ghost Abyss was now in a party, but the Toad Poison Head did not rush to wake him up when he heard that he was still sleeping. After all, there was no day or night in the Ghost Abyss. According to the custom of the underground creatures, this kind of carnival would last at least a day and a night.
A welcoming banquet?
Chen Ling was a little surprised. A group of disasters also understood these things?
Chen Ling naturally walked onto Wu Yi's back and patted his head. The latter immediately understood and carried Chen Ling towards the "banquet" venue.
On the way, Chen Ling was still thinking, how can a group of disasters learn from humans to hold a welcoming banquet? Do they expect centipedes, scorpions and poisonous snakes to put on gorgeous clothes and then stand up and circle around to toast themselves?
When he arrived at the venue, he realized that he had overthought.
I saw large groups of disasters rolling on the ground in the rugged ravines. There seemed to be a lot of wine-like stuff spilled on the ground. Every time these disasters rolled, they would get the stuff on their bodies or drink it into their stomachs. Then they would become visibly excited and entangled with other disasters around them. Some of the most excited ones would even fight directly with other disasters!
Centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, geckos, toads... countless poisonous insects gathered together to roll around and fight, with all kinds of hissing sounds rising and falling. The scene was spectacular yet a little creepy.
The higher the rank of the disaster, the more wine it can occupy, and it does not have to compete with other disasters. However, some of them, after drinking too much, will take the initiative to go to the neighboring disaster's territory to cause trouble. The loud noises that woke Chen Ling up just now came from the life-and-death fight between two seventh-rank disasters.
Unlike these ordinary disasters, there is a raised platform on the cliff, and the five poison heads are high up on it. At this time, each of them is soaking in a pool of wine. Both the concentration of the wine and the environment are much better than other disasters...
The toad was rolling on its belly happily in the wine pool, the scorpion was as calm as if it was taking a bath, occasionally drinking a sip of "bath water", and the gecko was lying motionless on the bottom of the pool, and those who didn't know would think it had drowned... As for the centipede and the poisonous snake, each in its own wine pool, their posture was a little restrained, as if they had something on their mind.
"What kind of wine is this?" Chen Ling was extremely confused.
[My lord, this is the 'Five Poison Wine' that is unique to our Ghost Abyss. ]
Wu Yi smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air and was extremely excited. [We need to mix the toxins of the five poisons together and bury them underground for several months to ferment them. Only then can we make a jar... If we poisons drink a sip, not only will our strength improve, but we will also experience intense pleasure.]
The Five Poisons Wine is extremely precious. Even in the Guichou Abyss where the Five Poisons are everywhere, it cannot be enjoyed often. On weekdays, only Chozai can have unlimited refills, while others can only have a taste of the wine at large banquets. But this is already a blessing for them.
Seeing Chen Ling coming, the disasters that were rolling around on the ground immediately regained consciousness and respectfully made way for him.
The toad that was rolling around in the wine pool also stood up straight and kept making dull "quack" sounds, as if inviting Chen Ling to come up...
Chen Ling naturally would not be polite. He jumped and landed on the raised platform as lightly as a red butterfly. He saw that behind the wine pool of the five poison heads, a pitch-black throne had been set up, and next to it lay a group of five little poisons, like servants specially serving Chen Ling.
Chen Ling glanced at them and sat down on the throne with an expressionless face.
At the same time, the toad's chin bulged again...
"Quack quack-"
A resounding voice like thunder echoed in the Ghost-Mocking Abyss. The many disasters that were originally in chaos below regained consciousness and lay down respectfully, as if they were listening attentively to the words of the Toad Poison Head.
What the toad said was also very simple. It was basically saying that after such a long time, the king finally returned. In order to welcome the king, we held this banquet...
As Chen Ling listened, he felt something strange in his heart. The style of these ghosts mocking the disasters of the abyss was too much like that of humans.
Could it be possible that the former disaster could train a group of disasters so well?
As soon as the toad finished speaking, the disasters in the Ghost-Mocking Abyss began to chirp, as if responding to the words of the Poison Head... At the same time, the little scorpion at the side came to Chen Ling, carrying a skull cup filled with mellow wine.
All the disasters turned to look at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling knew that it was time for him, the King of the Ghostly Abyss, to "raise a glass".
He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the full cup of Five Poison Wine and slowly stood up...
The bright red costume fluttered in the dark abyss. Chen Ling looked down at the countless disasters crawling under his feet. After a long silence, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Cheers to... the Devil's Abyss!"
