Chapter 390: Snake Demon Playing
Night fell over Donghai Island. Everything was silent. The sea breeze blew gently, like a quiet lullaby, urging everyone on the island to fall asleep. The moonlight sprinkled on the beach, creating a shimmering glow. The guards on duty gradually relaxed their vigilance in this peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, several dark shadows shuttled quickly like ghosts under the moonlight, quietly appeared from behind the reefs at the edge of the island, and sneaked towards the island.
They were agile and quick, and every step they took made no sound. They easily bypassed the guards on duty and headed straight for the houses on the island.
"Boss, Murong Ling'er lives here, and Chu Lingfeng is in the next yard." A dark shadow lowered his voice and said to the leading man.
Under the moonlight, the leading man had a stern face and fierce eyes. He nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the house in front of him.
"This woman is not easy to deal with. All the brothers we sent before fell into her hands." Another black shadow continued, with a hint of fear in his voice.
"Chu Lingfeng was poisoned before, and she cured him. We don't know to what extent he has recovered now." Another voice came, full of worry.
The leading man frowned slightly and snorted coldly, "No matter how strong the poison is, it can't be completely cured just by saying it. Chu Lingfeng definitely hasn't recovered to his peak yet. However, Murong Ling'er is indeed a problem. We must proceed with caution."
"Boss, isn't it too risky if we take action tonight?" someone raised doubts.
"This opportunity is rare. Only by catching the enemy by surprise can we hit the target." The leading man waved his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent, dispersed, and quietly surrounded the yard.
In the next courtyard, Chu Lingfeng showed no signs of sleep. Dressed in black, he sat quietly on a stone bench in the courtyard, his gaze fixed on Murong Ling'er's direction. His expression was gentle and focused, like a stone statue looking back at his wife. The night breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill, but it didn't affect his concentration in the slightest.
Suddenly, a faint aroma drifted in on the breeze. Chu Lingfeng was instantly alert, his nostrils twitching as he carefully discerned the unfamiliar scent. Years of wandering the martial arts world had given him a keen sense of danger, and he immediately realized that this aroma concealed a deadly threat.
Almost at the same moment, Chu Lingfeng flashed like a black lightning, quickly jumped over the courtyard wall and entered Murong Ling'er's yard.
He came to the door, raised his hand and knocked gently, with a hint of urgency in his movements.
At this moment, Murong Ling'er, inside the room, also noticed something was amiss. Her brows furrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Her consciousness instantly spread outward like a tidal wave, taking in the movements of the entire East Sea Island. She not only sensed the number of intruders, but also discerned their plans and methods.
Hearing the knock on the door, Murong Linger gently raised her hand, and an invisible force opened the latch. "Come in!" Her voice was calm and steady, without a trace of panic.
Chu Lingfeng pushed the door open and saw Murong Ling'er sitting cross-legged on the bed. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he felt slightly relieved.
He quickly walked to Murong Chen's room and saw that the child was sleeping soundly. He gently covered him with a quilt and then turned and left.
"Someone has come to the island and drugged us." Chu Lingfeng said in a low voice, with worry in his tone.
"I know." Murong Ling'er's expression was calm, as if everything was under her control. "It's a special drug. Those who take it will fall into a deep sleep, completely unaware of the outside world, and will not wake up until eight hours later."
Chu Lingfeng frowned, worried about his subordinates and also worried about Murong Ling'er and the child. Just as he was in a dilemma, the fragrance of medicine became stronger and filled the entire yard.
Murong Ling'er saw his worry, smiled slightly, took out a pill from her arms, and crushed it gently.
In an instant, a stronger and more overbearing fragrance spread out like surging waves, instantly covering up the previous faint fragrance.
At the same time, on the other side of the island, the Chu family's secret guards were already gradually feeling drowsy and their consciousness was blurred.
Suddenly, this overbearing fragrance entered their noses, and everyone woke up instantly, their faces changed suddenly.
"Oh no, we were drugged!" exclaimed a secret guard.
"Don't be afraid, it was the Madam who took action." Another secret guard said hurriedly, with a hint of relief in his tone.
"Quick, hold on! Don't let the thieves take advantage!" Everyone quickly cheered up, gripped their weapons tightly, and looked around vigilantly.
Outside the yard, the dark shadows that had sneaked in also noticed something unusual.
"Boss, the drug we used has been broken down. The other party is also a master of poison!" A dark shadow said in horror.
The leading man had a gloomy expression on his face. He had originally thought that this action could be carried out secretly, but he had not expected that the other party would see through their plan so quickly. He could not help but have a new assessment of Murong Linger's strength.
He knew very well that this time he had met a real opponent and a fierce battle was inevitable.
Just as he gritted his teeth and prepared to wave his hand to order a violent attack, a sharp and strange whistle suddenly broke through the quiet night sky. The sound was like a sharp blade, piercing straight into everyone's ears and making people feel creepy.
Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness, like a black cannonball, and pounced towards the leader at a speed so fast that people had no time to react.
"Get out of the way!" A terrified shout suddenly rang out, and the voice was a little distorted because of fear.
Accompanied by the whistling strong wind, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and a thick branch next to it was broken by the impact, and wood chips flew everywhere.
"Hiss!" A hissing sound that made people's scalps tingle was heard. It turned out to be an extremely huge snake monster with a bloody mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and its tongue kept spitting out from its mouth. The tongue was flashing a strange light in the moonlight.
The snake demon was covered with black scales, each of which was the size of a palm, glowing coldly in the moonlight. On its triangular head, a pair of vertical pupils flashed with bloodthirsty light as it stared viciously at the group of uninvited guests in front of it.
After missing the first attack, the snake demon's huge body turned flexibly in the air and launched a new round of attacks in an instant. Its thick tail was like a black iron rod, sweeping towards the dead soldiers with a whistling sound. Every time it swung, it brought up a strong airflow, blowing up the dust around.
Those assassins originally thought that it would be Chu Lingfeng who was coming, but who could have expected such a huge monster to suddenly appear? They were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs became weak. In panic, they hurriedly rolled and crawled to avoid him.
"It's...it's a snake demon!" A death warrior shouted in a trembling voice, his teeth chattering.
"Oh my God! What the hell is this place? Why is there a snake demon here?" Another assassin collapsed to the ground, his pants wet with fear.
"Boss, be careful!" A slightly calmer soldier shouted at the leader at the top of his lungs.
