The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Capítulo 1142: Chapter 1142: Afraid of Snakes, Insects, Rats, and Ants

With this incident, everyone became more cautious.

No one knew if they might accidentally trigger a trap in the next moment, or if there would be time for rescue.

Right now, it was just the outskirts of the Underground Palace, and things had already gone wrong. The depths would surely be doubly dangerous.

Some people even breathed very lightly, including Chen Zi.

Little Taotie felt sweat in his palms, tilted his head to look at Chen Zi, “Brother Chen Zi, you’re sweating a lot in your hands.”

Chen Zi forced a smile: “I’m a little nervous.”

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!” Little Taotie patted his chest, the little guy putting on a very reliable expression, imitating Shen Cang’s usual stern face, with a serious and earnest look.

Chen Zi gently exhaled a breath.

During his time in the Special Department, he always felt a sense of being an outsider, optional, perhaps because he had never participated in any missions. He hadn’t even truly considered himself a member of the Special Department.

Until this moment, he realized he was too weak, weak to the point of moving and breathing cautiously, with his heart pounding in fear.

The concept of becoming stronger arose in his mind but quickly turned into confusion.

Everyone moved forward in silence, following Shen Cang’s instructions to avoid various traps. Half an hour passed, and everything was smooth for the moment with no danger.

But after half an hour, incidents occurred frequently.

Shen Cang instructed everyone to hold their breaths for thirty seconds, but someone always accidentally took a breath, leading to a rescue and ensuing chaos.

Finally moving past the poisonous gas area, the next moment when the snakes, insects, mice, and ants crawled out, some grown men actually screamed.

Little Taotie pinched a snake at its seven-inch mark with one hand, puzzled: “It’s so small, why be afraid?”

For humans, the snake was indeed quite small.

But the snake’s speed, and the deadly venom in its fangs, could take a life instantly, inspiring a fear far beyond its physical size.

Several Beast Tamers from the Special Department were also present and immediately used their skills to hypnotize the poisonous scorpions, snakes, and spiders, rendering a ground full of motionless toxic creatures.

Shen Cang ordered everyone to step over the poisonous creatures since there was no other place to step, only over them.

Some hesitated, fearing that at the moment of stepping down, these things would wake and bite them, not daring to step forward.

The Beast Tamers repeatedly assured they wouldn’t wake, yet some were still afraid.

Shen Cang originally didn’t want to kill all these toxic creatures, unsure if killing them would make the next challenge harder, but seeing these spineless guys afraid, he had to act.

A Talisman flew out, transforming into flames, the tongue of fire sweeping over, turning the snakes, insects, mice, and ants on the ground to ashes.

Shen Cang with a cold face: “Can we proceed now?”

Everyone hurriedly followed Shen Cang, his strides large as if each step carried anger.

No one dared to speak, knowing the leader was trying hard to suppress his temper.

Only the fearless Little Taotie sniffed: “What a shame, grilled snake is quite tasty.”

Shen Cang: “…” The little one’s thinking is always peculiar!

Little Taotie tightly held Chen Zi’s hand: “Brother Chen Zi, your face is so pale!”

How could it not be? He had never seen so many snakes in his life!

Shen Cang instructed everyone to hold their breaths for thirty seconds, but someone always accidentally took a breath, leading to a rescue and ensuing chaos.

Finally getting past the poisonous gas area, the next moment when the snakes, insects, mice, and ants crawled out, some grown men actually screamed.
