Chapter 806: Chapter 810: The Third Trial 43
"Where is your companion? Did they abandon you out of fear?"
The old Black Mountain demon chuckled sinisterly, the words uttered bearing ill-intent.
Su Tang propped her cheeks with her hands, sitting quietly inside the protective barrier, her gaze fiercely fixed on the old Black Mountain demon.
She didn’t answer the old Black Mountain demon’s question; she hadn’t heard a word the other had said.
Because she had noticed a very interesting phenomenon.
After the old Black Mountain demon opened her eyes, she didn’t immediately notice Su Tang, but rather stared blankly ahead with lifeless eyes.
Instead, the six black snakes on her head writhed ceaselessly.
Only after one of the snakes flicked its red ’snake letter’ did the old Black Mountain demon’s gaze shift toward her.
So.
Su Tang grew even more certain of the conjecture she had when she first saw the old Black Mountain demon.
The old Black Mountain demon’s eyes couldn’t see!
So the six snakes on her head were her eyes.
This discovery made Su Tang’s mood quite pleased. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
She raised her eyebrows at the old Black Mountain demon with good cheer, "I have a question now!"
The smile on the old Black Mountain demon’s face deepened, the wrinkles on her face piling up layer upon layer.
"Oh~ The foremost competitor, what is your question? It’s limited to queries about the trial, you know~"
Su Tang suddenly asked earnestly, "Are your eyes, like, not able to see?"
The smile on the old Black Mountain demon’s face stiffened.
Her complexion slowly fell, visibly darkening in a flash.
Just when Su Tang thought she would refuse to answer the question, she suddenly erupted!
"Nonsense! Your eyes are the ones that can’t see!"
The old Black Mountain demon’s voice was sharp and grating, a clear sign of anger born of embarrassment.
Su Tang was startled by this outburst, patting her chest in residual fear.
"If you can’t see, you can’t see, what’s with all the yelling? You’ll scare someone to death!"
The old Black Mountain demon remained silent.
But her expression was dark and twisted as she watched in Su Tang’s direction.
The six black snakes on her head also writhed fiercely with their fangs bared, seemingly threatening Su Tang in silence.
Su Tang felt uneasy under such a gaze; she rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and spoke up.
"All right, all right, my question’s asked, can we continue now?"
The old Black Mountain demon had a somewhat stiff expression, but she also seemed constrained by certain rules, and despite being very reluctant, she began to count.
As the counting ended, Su Tang once again looked at the old Black Mountain demon with a cheerful smile.
"I have another question!"
Old Black Mountain demon: ....
This time, without waiting for the old Black Mountain demon to engage with her, Su Tang eagerly asked.
"The steward mentioned that you’re the host of the current challenge, so if there’s no host for this challenge, does that mean the challenge ends?"
Upon hearing Su Tang’s words,
The complexion of the old Black Mountain demon drastically changed, but she did not deny it.
She hooked up the corners of her mouth chillingly, "You know too much, and it’s too late now...."
Afterward, most of the Insect Beasts on the field seemed to have received some sort of control, halting their initial assault and uniformly crawling back into the dust.
Gaiyin and the others outside the dust looked extremely grim, yet they were unable to move an inch due to the rules.
Countless snakes, scorpions, and centipedes crawled toward Su Tang, their posture suggesting they would devour her to the point of leaving nothing behind.
Receiving the message from the little snakes on her head that Su Tang was completely enveloped, the old Black Mountain demon showed a touch of satisfying delight.
She concentrated, ready to listen for Su Tang’s screams of agony.
