195 Crisis
Although Nie Yin was hesitant, he had been trapped on Spirit Mountain for a few days after all. No one would be able to take it if this continued. Helpless, Nie Yin also allowed the guards to cut open the flying snake and cook it.
As soon as the guards received Nie Yin’s permission, they immediately picked up their weapons and rushed towards the flying snake.
Although the flying snake wasn’t big, it was clearly a delicacy for the starving guards.
Nie Yin turned to look at Zi Xuan, who was lying on the ground, and sighed inwardly. Fortunately, these people were not so hungry that even people wanted to eat humans.
However, Nie Yin couldn’t help but wonder who killed Zi Xuan and why she appeared on Spirit Mountain.
Soon, the aroma of food wafted over. No matter how strong Nie Yin’s willpower was, after starving for a few days, such a smell was tempting.
Fortunately, a considerate guard cut off a piece of snake meat with a dagger and handed it to Nie Yin. “Master, try it.”
Nie Yin glanced at the guard who was about to drool but didn’t dare to eat first, so he reached out and took the snake meat.
When the guards saw Nie Yin take the snake meat, they all cut it with small knives and stuffed it into their mouths.
Nie Yin sighed softly and tore off a piece of snake meat before putting it in his mouth.
However, this snake meat was far less delicious than the top-grade snake soup he had eaten in the First Restaurant, causing Nie Yin to lose interest. He frowned slightly and placed the snake meat aside.
For the past few days, he had been wondering why they had been making circles around here.
He tried to contact the First Elder and the others a few times, but as if his divine sense was blocked, he couldn’t contact anyone at all. He even began to feel the death aura around him getting stronger and stronger.
Nie Yin didn’t want to give up. He still had too many things to do. Just as he was thinking about how to leave this damned place, he suddenly heard a low cry of pain not far away.
Nie Yin turned around and saw a guard who had been chewing on the snake meat excitedly suddenly foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground.
Another guard scratched his neck desperately, and there were even traces of blood. The two guards’ eyes were red as they bared their teeth and roared.
Nie Yin’s expression changed slightly and he immediately became vigilant.
The guards’ actions became even stranger. One of them even picked up the large saber in his hand and slashed at the other person beside him. The guard who had been slashed didn’t react at all, as if he didn’t feel any pain.
On the other side, a guard bit the neck of the person beside him. No matter how the other party resisted, he refused to let go.
“What are you guys doing?!” Nie Yin shouted, but no one responded.
The guards in the distance attacked each other, as if they had been possessed. Some of them had already fallen to the ground, but they still tried their best to slash the others with their weapons.
As for the guard closest to Nie Yin, he opened his mouth in Nie Yin’s direction, as if he wanted to say something, but he could only make cracking sounds.
Nie Yin reached out to check, but he saw that the person seemed to be choking on something, and his face turned purple.
“What’s wrong?” Nie Yin took half a step back warily and didn’t go forward.
The changes in these people were too strange. Nie Yin didn’t know what had possessed them. Was it because of Spirit Mountain or the flying snake that fell from the sky?
Just as Nie Yin was pondering, the guard suddenly stretched out his hands and pounced at him.
