Reborn As a Snake, I Can Absorb Fear

Chapter 27 The Secret Chamber”Teacher Jiang, I don’t understand what you are talking about. If acting impatient could get us out, then why haven’t you escaped yet?”

Su Ling seemed like a different person, her words filled with sarcasm and calmness.

”You…” Jiang Huaian was momentarily choked with anger.

”Su Ling, I suspect that you are the one behind this prank.” Chen Qian pulled away from Jiang Hao’s embrace and pointed at Su Ling.

”Me? If it were me, why would I lock myself in here too?” Su Ling pointed to herself and scoffed.

”You’re just doing this on purpose to deflect suspicion from yourself.” Chen Qian was relentless.

”Chen Qian, you can’t just say things like that. You’re pinning this on me without any proof, so I could just as easily suspect that you are the one who set up this prank.”

”Who says I don’t have proof?” Chen Qian smiled triumphantly.

Su Ling was slightly stunned; she hadn’t expected such an answer from Chen Qian.

”Chen Qian, if you have any evidence, tell us quickly!” urged Jiang Huaian.

”My evidence is this white snake by Su Ling’s side.” Chen Qian pointed at Jiang Feng.

What?

Jiang Feng’s body suddenly stiffened. These people were on the verge of starving to death, yet they still had the energy to pick a fight with a snake.

”Chen Qian, what nonsense are you spouting? Little White is just a snake.” Su Ling quickly shielded Little White behind her.

”Is it really just a white snake? Su Ling, you can fool others, but you can’t fool me. At first, this snake was clearly only as big as a chopstick, but a few days later, it suddenly became this large. Who would believe there isn’t something fishy going on?”

Jiang Huaian was lost in thought. Regarding the white snake, the feedback he had received when he first encountered it was that it was a half-meter long white snake; later it was one meter, two meters, and now it was four meters long.

At first, he thought someone had made a mistake, or that it wasn’t the same snake, but now Chen Qian was saying it had been the same snake all along.

”Chen Qian, who said the current Little White is the same Little White from before? Have you ever seen a snake grow this big in just a few days? The previous Little White Snake was just the offspring of this white snake.”

”Damn, so it’s offspring. I thought it was some kind of magical snake.” Wang Hai couldn’t help but curse.

”Brother Hai, don’t listen to her. She’s lying. This is just a snake. I swear, everything I’m saying is true. If I’m lying, may I turn into a disgusting snake.”

In order to gain everyone’s trust, Chen Qian was desperate and didn’t hesitate to swear what she considered to be the most poisonous oath.

”I believe Qianqian. She is usually terrified of snakes, so she wouldn’t use such a harsh oath to lie.” Jiang Hao stepped forward decisively to support Chen Qian.

”You actually believe Chen Qian’s nonsense? A snake the size of a chopstick growing this big in a few days?” Seeing that everyone seemed to believe Chen Qian, Su Ling looked at them in disbelief.

”Su Ling, stop making excuses and let us out!” Chen Qian said sharply.

The others also looked at Su Ling aggressively.

”It really wasn’t me. If I had the ability to do this, would I still be staying here letting you bully me?”

”What she says seems to make sense. If she could create such a realistic illusion, wouldn’t it be easy for her to deal with us?” Wang Hai nodded in agreement.

”Everyone, I think the problem might lie with Su Ling’s snake. If we kill the snake, perhaps we can get out.” After Jiang Huaian finished speaking, he quietly gave a look to Jiang Hao and Wang Hai.

The two of them quickly understood.

Trapped in the secret room, the first crisis they faced after a long time was food. If they used the snake to satisfy their hunger, it would be enough to last them a long time.

Killing the snake was the excuse; eating it was the real goal.

Damn, these bastards actually want to kill me.

Jiang Feng was instantly enraged.

”You are not allowed to hurt Little White.” Su Ling blocked the way in front of Jiang Feng, not letting the others get close.

”Get lost.” Wang Hai shoved Su Ling aside roughly.

”Qianqian, hold her down.” Jiang Hao signaled for Chen Qian to hold Su Ling down so she wouldn’t cause trouble.

Chen Qian understood and held onto Su Ling tightly.

”Let go! Don’t hurt Little White! Little White, run!” Su Ling was both angry and anxious.

Watching the three people slowly approaching, Jiang Feng sneered.

If you don’t court death, you won’t die.

If he really started fighting, he could easily kill the three of them, but he wouldn’t be able to deal with the aftermath of killing people.

He couldn’t let the suspicion fall on him.

Jiang Feng moved, and Jiang Huaian immediately shouted:

”Go! The snake is trying to run!”

Seeing this, Wang Hai and Jiang Hao raised their stools and smashed them toward Jiang Feng’s snake body, but Jiang Feng easily dodged and quickly climbed up the wall.

Jiang Huaian rushed over to grab the snake’s tail and pull Jiang Feng down, but by the time he arrived, Jiang Feng had already climbed onto the chandelier on the ceiling.

”Damn, this snake’s reaction is too fast, right?” Wang Hai held the stool, looking incredulous.

”What do we do now? It ran onto the ceiling; we can’t reach it at all.”

”Throw things at it! Knock it down!”

Saying this, the three of them grabbed the cups and teapots on the table and threw them at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng let them hit him; with his 50 points of Physique, these attacks were like a tickle to him.

”This isn’t working; it doesn’t hurt it,” said Jiang Huaian.

”Get something heavier.”

Bang!

With a violent crash, the chandelier on the ceiling shattered, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness.

”Who broke the light?”

”Why did it go dark all of a sudden? Isn’t it daytime?”

”Brother Hao, where are you? I can’t see anything, I’m so scared.” Chen Qian cried out in the darkness.

[fear points + 40]

”Qianqian, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

[fear points + 30]

”Teacher Jiang, what do we do now?”

”Did that snake fall down?”

”Snakes can see in the dark. Will we be killed by it one by one?”

[fear points + 30]

[fear points + 30]

”Everyone, don’t be afraid. We’ll huddle together; the snake won’t dare to come over,” Jiang Huaian shouted.

Guided by the sound, the four of them slowly gathered together.

”Is everyone here?”

”Yeah.”

”I’m here.”

”I’m here too.”

”Why are there only four people?”

”Where is the other person?”

”Everyone, count off. Starting with me, 1.”

”2.”

”3.”

”4.”

”One person is missing. Who is it?”

”Is it Su Ling who’s missing? No, that’s not right. There seemed to be two female voices just now.”

”It’s Wang Hai. Wang Hai is gone.”

”Wang Hai!”

”Wang Hai, say something!”

”Where did Wang Hai go? Wasn’t he just here?”

[fear points + 50]

[fear points + 50]

[fear points + 50]

”Wang Hai isn’t dead, is he?”

”Don’t talk nonsense. Why would he just die out of the blue?”

”But why isn’t he saying anything? The room is only so big.”

”What should we do, Teacher Jiang? Did that snake kill Wang Hai?”

”Don’t panic yet. Wang Hai must be fine. Let’s stay here and not move.”

[fear points + 40]

[fear points + 30]

The few of them huddled tightly together; the sudden disappearance of Wang Hai had left them terrified.
