Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

XueFang moved the puppet with the shield forward to check the tunnel for them. Based on the situation so far, she thought the creature would not come back quickly.

It had some plan over YanYu, and the only one that probably had some idea of it was Xueqi's ancestor.

Turning her gaze, she said, "Spit it out, geezer."

"Other than he is dangerous, I didn't know much. He was very ancient, part of history, when my ancestor was still a kid.

We might have some records, but we need to ask his sister since she is the one keeping it all."

"So basically, you have zero ideas, useless geezer," Xue Fang complained, making Xueqi's ancestor's lips twitch.

"Let's move first. I doubt this part can last long," MingHao said while looking at the cracks in the walls.

His blast may have cleaned up the debris, but it also made the tunnel structure more fragile. He could already see dust dropping down while the crack was widening slowly.

XueFang replied with a nod while she walked closely beside MingHao. She was still afraid he would just leap out by himself.

Meanwhile, deep inside the tunnel, Yanyu felt like she was being locked inside an illusion.

Her head was in pain like it was being stabbed, and her body was weak and devoid of any qi, but she still forced it to move.

Everything looked like a blur for her. It was like she was now inside a barely lit tunnel. Every step she took, she felt cold water streaming on her feet, splashing it all over the place.

Based on the feeling, she could tell it barely reached her ankle height.

Her hand was grazing over the wall to prop her body so she could keep moving forward.

"Just where am I? How did I get here??? Last time…" YanYu tried hard to remember, but she got nothing.

Her steps continued until she started hearing the hissing sound of a snake.

"Your will is impressive, lady. Do you desire power?"

"Power? What power? Who are you? Let me out," YanYu replied back, as everything started becoming clearer for her.

The moment she heard the hissing sound, it was like something jolted her mind back.

"I am part of the majestic Orochi clan. Right now, I am dying; even if I took your body, I would not survive for long."

"What do you want then? I don't care what clan you belong to, but I don't believe there is such a thing as a free meal in this world."

The snake hissed again, then asked, "Don't worry, I am not asking you to take revenge for me or my clan. It's far beyond your means, and I don't care much about them.

Even at my peak, I was nothing more than a foot soldier."

Now that YanYu's mind started clearing up, she began to understand what had happened, "You, a foot soldier? Hard to believe it."

"Believe it or not, that was the truth. Otherwise, my enemy wouldn't leave my body alone.

My request is not that hard. I just want to know what happened to my family. I don't know how much time has passed, but considering what I know, I am sure there should be something left at least."

"You want me to carry your soul inside of me?" Yanyu asked in suspicion.

"No, I will teach you how to bind my soul into a talisman. That is the only way I can survive this long.

But Young one, even if I agree, it will not be that easy. My body is not moving by instinct, one that has been put by my clan.

After you come out, look for a white pearl deep inside my head, take it, and do the method I told you."

The hissing sound then disappeared, and her surroundings turned distorted. It kept growing with intensity until everything turned black.

The next moment, YanYu felt like she just woke up from a dream, she could feel the qi in her body once more. But her face turned into a frown as she could feel something slimy and cold tightly binding her body.

Her heart skipped a beat when she finally realized her situation.

Hissing sounds reverberated in her ears as she was now in front of a giant snake. The reptilian eyes looked at her like some kind of delicious food.

Its white scales were filled with dirt, with some parts of it peeled off, showing its rotten meat.

'That snake! How can I even come out from this!'

YanYu exerted her qi, trying to get out from the snake's constriction, but it barely did anything. She began to panic, but then an idea came to her mind; as the snake's body was slippery, she still had a way to escape.

Her free hand pointed upward, and her sword materialized. Exerting her qi, it then shot out, embedding toward the ceiling.

In motion, her body was pulled up. She looked down at the whole place and couldn't help but feel grossed out.

The huge snake was like a rotten corpse while all around it many small snakes were moving and slithering together. The whole thing gave her goosebumps.

She then looked around for the humanoid body that attacked them, but she could not find anything.

The giant snake hissed. It began coiling its body, preparing to lunge at her.

YanYu frowned, not caring about the result, she took out multiple grenades from her storage ring. The place she was in now was quite large, but she knew she was still underground.

Despite this, she preferred to blow it up since it was not like she had other options.

The grenades fell down with the help of gravity. YanYu also made sure to take out the safety pin before this happened.

But by coincidence or plot armor from the author, the snake opened its jaw, resulting in all the grenades dropping into its mouth.

BOOM! The explosion reverberated, making the ground shake.
