Whew whew!

Over on Lie Long's side, just as the words left his mouth, Qin Tian was already airborne, diving into the cavernous opening!

"Damn it! There's still someone unafraid of death!"

Seeing Qin Tian's movement, Lie Long's eyes widened in surprise.

One of his men asked, "Leader, what should we do?"

Lie Long sneered, "What else can we do? This guy's sending himself into the mouth of the Snake King; no one else to blame for that! Haha, with the Snake King eating a Qi Refining Middle Stage expert, its power will surely skyrocket!"

"Then, about Boss Tie..."

"Hmph, Boss Tie is nothing compared to my Snake King! Damn it, a million taels of gold, gone just like that!"

BOOM!

Yowl!

Suddenly, there was a significant tremor from the mountaintop, akin to an earthquake!

Lie Long looked at the cave entrance, laughing, "That kid should've been eaten by the Snake King, hmph, very good. This year the Snake King's shed skin... can once again boost my power significantly! Very good!"

Lie Long judged that Qin Tian had already been eaten by the Snake King, but to be cautious, he ordered two guards to keep watch just in case.

Yowl!

Meanwhile, inside the human-height cavern, Qin Tian was being frantically chased by a giant serpent!

The ground within the cave shook violently!

"What the hell is this snake, so huge!?"

As he ran, Qin Tian was both terrified and shocked.

The cave had many branching paths, and the air was filled with a bloody scent.

The giant serpent behind Qin Tian was as thick as a wooden barrel!

At least twice as large as the biggest anaconda he had seen in the Amazon Forest!

Absolutely terrifying!

The serpent's power was brutal; as it pursued Qin Tian, its tail swept and crashed into the stone walls, causing the ground to tremble!

"Damn it, this cave is also a labyrinth!"

Qin Tian was fortunate to have the Wave Striding Technique and the Flowing Cloud Skill, allowing him to move deftly and evade the serpent's pursuit.

However, the serpent, perhaps starving for days, persistently chased Qin Tian, leaving him no room to relax even for a moment!

"This creature's stamina is too good! If this chase continues, I'll be exhausted and die!"

Qin Tian trembled in his heart, realizing that although he had escaped the War God Gang and Boss Tie's pursuit, survival seemed beyond his grasp!

He kept running wildly, choosing what he believed was north in the pitch-dark, foul-smelling cave.

At one point, he pulled out a gun from his storage bag and fired more than ten shots at the serpent.

Yet the massive creature showed no reaction at all!

Qin Tian was in despair.

Could he possibly blow it up with a bomb?

Judging by its size, would twenty bombs even suffice to kill it?

Using a bomb would certainly collapse the cave, and that would mean mutual destruction, and Qin Tian had no intention of burying himself.

He had no choice but to keep running recklessly.

"Damn, I'm not a female serpent. You've been chasing me all day!"

Qin Tian glanced at his watch; it was already past eight in the evening—

He had indeed been running wildly all day!

He was out of strength, unable to run any longer...

At this moment, Qin Tian felt that the True Qi in his Dan Tian Qi Sea was depleted, having an oil-exhausted lamp-dried feeling.

"If this goes on, within half an hour, I'll surely be eaten by this big guy!"

The more Qin Tian thought about it, the more terrified he became. Dying in a secluded cave in a foreign land?

Damn it, he hadn't even said goodbye to Murong Fei, Liu Fei'er, and the others!

He promised to return safely!

Qin Tian remembered how before his departure, Murong Fei had found him saying her eyelids twitched, with a foreboding feeling...

Did this premonition have to be so accurate!

Qin Tian felt cornered, on the brink of a dead end.

Even if he wanted to find a way to leave this infinitely deep cave, he couldn't find an exit now.

"I need to find a place to hide and catch my breath, or I'm really done for!"

In the dark tunnel, while running, Qin Tian turned on his flashlight from his signal-less phone.

He must find a place where the giant serpent couldn't follow him in a short time! Or he must quickly escape, otherwise, there's no hope!

At around nine in the evening, Qin Tian finally discovered a small cave about one meter high at a corner of the larger cave!

Like finding a treasure!

Qin Tian didn't hesitate and dove straight into the small cave!

The small cave was not long, only about three or four meters deep.

After crawling inside, Qin Tian's feet instantly made a crackling sound.

Looking down.

Skulls!

Skulls all over the place!

When Qin Tian stepped on them, the skulls were crushed into powder, indicating that these people had died a long time ago.

"Seems like others have hid here before, but why did they all end up dead?"

Qin Tian was puzzled, but before he could figure it out, a strong smell of blood hit him!

The small cave shook as though it was about to collapse, and then, Qin Tian saw the head of the giant serpent at the mouth of the small cave!

The damn thing's head was too large, preventing it from entering, pushing its head against the small cave entrance!

Qin Tian's heart raced as he looked at the serpent's gaping maw.

Its teeth were like slabs of stone, while its forked tongue flicked like a rope!

Fortunately, Qin Tian was curled up in the innermost part; the serpent had no means to reach him.

"Luckily, the walls are strong. This big guy is probably unable to do anything to me."

Finally taking a deep breath, Qin Tian could at last have a moment's rest.

"Those who hid here before likely starved to death. But with the supplies in my storage bag, I can survive here for a month. Within a month, I must find a way out. Otherwise, it'll still end in death."

Qin Tian took out food from his storage bag, unabashed by the giant serpent constantly banging against the walls, and commenced replenishing himself.

"Hiss..."

However, halfway through his meal, Qin Tian felt a stomach ache start.

Moreover, the pain spread from his internal organs to all over his body, an intense excruciating pain sweeping through him like a tidal wave!

"Damn it, Boss Tie's poison is acting up!"

Clearly aware of his body's strange condition, Qin Tian knew he was in a state of poisoning.

Though Qin Tian knew nothing about Boss Tie's poison, aware that the toxicity was spreading from the internal organs, without accurate knowledge of the poison, Qin Tian dared not easily treat himself.

From his storage bag, Qin Tian retrieved various medicines, took a pain reliever, and tried other drugs, but all to no avail.

"Damn it... I escaped their pursuit, survived the serpent's attack, and yet I might die miserably in this godforsaken cave!?"

Drenched in cold sweat from the pain, Qin Tian was on the verge of fainting from the intense, piercing agony, unable to bear it any longer!

The poison from Boss Tie was potent!

"Hiss... Am I... going to die...?"

His body trembling, Qin Tian collapsed to the ground, his entire body convulsing and numb...

For the first time, he felt so close to death...
