Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Zhong Yuemin stood quietly, his eyes fixed on the giant snake in front of him. It was a creature with a huge body and scales that glowed with a faint light, as if it was a giant beast that had walked out of an ancient legend.

The giant snake opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, with a cunning light flashing in its eyes. It seemed to be unconcerned about Zhong Yuemin's provocation, but was observing this human vigilantly.

"Run? There's no such word in my dictionary."

Zhong Yuemin curled his lips in disdain, and a wild smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In fact, he knew very well that it was normal for people to be afraid of such a huge python, but if he chose to escape at this time, he would probably fall into an abyss from which there would be no return.

The giant snake was obviously angered by Zhong Yuemin's words. Its huge body swayed slightly, as if it was adjusting its attack posture. "Humph, you are quite stubborn, but what were you doing sneaking over there just now? Were you taking a walk?"

The giant snake's voice exploded in Zhong Yuemin's mind like thunder, low and hoarse, as if it was a roar from the abyss of hell.

Zhong Yuemin still had a faint smile on his face, but a hint of imperceptible cunning flashed in his eyes. "Hehe, don't get me wrong, I was just stretching my muscles just now. Besides, a guy as big as you, I can't run away even if I want to! Instead of wasting energy, why don't we sit down and have a good chat? No one has talked to you in all these years, don't you feel bored?" He deliberately spoke in a relaxed and casual tone, trying to ease the current tense atmosphere.

However, the giant snake did not appreciate it. Its eyes were full of disdain. "Chat? With a lowly creature like you? Aren't you just trying to delay time? Don't show off your intelligence in front of me. Do you know that you are ridiculous?"

As soon as the giant snake finished speaking, a powerful momentum like an overwhelming sea suddenly came and hit Zhong Yuemin hard like a surging wave.

This sudden pressure caused Zhong Yuemin to involuntarily take several steps back before he could barely stand firm.

After steadying himself, Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and secretly told himself to stay calm.

"You said I am a lower creature? Then may I ask what is the difference between us?" Zhong Yuemin straightened his back and asked the other party fearlessly, with a hint of provocation in his words.

Hearing Zhong Yuemin's question, the giant snake was obviously a little surprised. After a moment of daze, it fell into a brief silence. After a while, it finally spoke again. "You are just an ordinary creature with seven emotions and six desires, but I am the most ancient existence in this vast world. Whether it is wisdom, strength or life span, you are far inferior to me."

After hearing what the giant snake said, Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha...are the so-called ancient beings like you? So what? Although you have experienced many vicissitudes of life and have extraordinary strength, you will never experience true emotions. You can neither feel joy nor sadness, nor do you know what love and hate are. A body like you without soul and emotion, is this the so-called higher life form?"

Zhong Yuemin was extremely anxious, but he knew that he couldn't panic at this moment. He didn't know whether his companions, Ning Wei and Professor Zhang, had walked out of the Gobi Desert. He could only pray that they could go faster, faster.

Just as Zhong Yuemin was lost in thought, a black shadow came towards him like a black lightning. It was a giant snake, with anger and unwillingness flashing in its red eyes, as if saying, "You don't understand anything?"

Zhong Yuemin's heart tightened, but he did not choose to run away, but quickly dodged backwards. He was agile, but the giant snake's attack was even more swift and fierce. With a "whoosh" sound, the giant snake's tail swept over like an iron whip. Although Zhong Yuemin avoided the fatal head attack, the remaining force of the tail still whipped him away fiercely.

The body drew an arc in the air, and Zhong Yuemin finally saw the whole picture of the giant snake. It was a giant snake that was hundreds of meters long, and its huge body was entrenched in the dragon's cave like a small mountain. Its scales flashed with a cold light, and each scale seemed to have been tempered and hardened.

After Zhong Yuemin was relieved of the force, he fell to the ground, and sand and stones flew everywhere. He endured the pain and quickly adjusted his posture to prepare for the next attack. The giant snake seemed to be angered by his tenacity, and it opened its bloody mouth again, revealing its sharp fangs, and rushed towards him.

To be honest, Zhong Yuemin had never suffered such a big loss before. If it was someone else, he would have died immediately after being hit.

Seeing the giant snake attacking again, he quickly shouted, "Stop, the fat man is right, you really have no moral principles! Weren't we just chatting nicely? How can you bite me just like that?"

In the empty dragon's lair, a figure shuttled back and forth quickly. It was the adventurer who was being chased by a giant snake—Zhong Yuemin. In his hand, he held a dagger that flashed with cold light, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light that was inconsistent with the danger.

The giant snake's huge body looked even more ferocious in the moonlight, and every breath seemed to carry the whisper of death. Seeing Zhong Yuemin stop, it couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh, the sound was low and terrifying, echoing in the silent forest.

"What do we have to talk about? Aren't you just scared?" There was a gleam of disdain in the giant snake's eyes, as if it had seen through Lin Feng's inner fear.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He smiled slightly, showing a confident look, as if the giant snake in front of him was just a small toy in his eyes.

"You're right, I am indeed afraid. But being afraid doesn't mean I will give up easily." Zhong Yuemin raised his head and looked directly into the giant snake's cold eyes. "Besides, I believe you don't want to kill me so easily. After all, you must have felt lonely and isolated for so many years, right?"

The giant snake was slightly stunned, as if it was touched by Zhong Yuemin's words. It slowly lowered its head, as if recalling something.

Zhong Yuemin took the opportunity to continue, "Think about it, if you kill me so easily, who will chat with you? Who will listen to you? Those so-called adventurers out there will only be afraid of you and avoid you. Who will really be willing to communicate with you?"

A complex emotion flashed in the giant snake's eyes, and it seemed to start thinking about Zhong Yuemin's words. Zhong Yuemin took the opportunity to move closer and continued his psychological warfare tactics. "In fact, I have always envied you. You have such a powerful force and a long life. But I can only wander around, looking for the unattainable adventure and excitement. If possible, I would even be willing to exchange identities with you."

The giant snake hissed and laughed. "Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha...ha...what you said was so touching that I almost believed it! Humph, you humans always like to slander us snakes, saying that we are insidious and cunning, but in fact, you humans are the most insidious and vicious people! Do you really think that I know nothing about your intentions?"

Zhong Yuemin showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He subconsciously touched his nose and muttered to himself: "Oh my God, this guy has such a high IQ, it's really hard to fool him!"

After coughing twice, Zhong Yuemin pretended to be calm and asked, "Ahem... Ahem... Then may I ask how many years have you lived in this world? And why are you trapped here and being tortured by the seal?"

The giant snake fell silent again, and after a while it slowly opened its mouth and answered in a low voice, "You humans have always been greedy, always eager to conquer everything in the world. After using my power to achieve your goals, you became terrified and tried to kill me. However, they were unable to do so, so they had no choice but to imprison me here. Originally, I might have been able to gain some kind of opportunity because of this disaster, but it was all destroyed by you! You came here this time just to find some precious treasures or secrets." There was a hint of anger in its voice, and then it once again launched a fierce attack on Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin retreated step by step, secretly thanking himself that the dragon's lair was spacious enough, otherwise he would have no way to retreat. As his body flew backwards again, he couldn't help but shout loudly, "Stop!"

The shout resounded like thunder in the empty dragon's lair, and the lingering sound even made the surrounding sand and rocks tremble.

Not far away, the huge snake slowly raised its head, its pupils suddenly shrank in its big copper bell eyes, and its tongue drew a strange arc in the air, accompanied by bursts of hissing. Obviously, it was trying to spy on the courage deep in Zhong Yuemin's heart, but it was more out of fear and vigilance of unknown things.

"Hey, man, you have a really bad temper."

Zhong Yuemin raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of teasing. "We were having a pleasant chat just now, why did you suddenly turn hostile? If you ask me, you beasts are just like that, you don't understand the ways of the world at all. But then again, since someone wants to kill you, you must have hurt a lot of innocent people before."

Hearing this, the giant snake's eyes suddenly flashed with anger. It opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening roar in response. "So what? Can this alone negate the glorious military achievements I have made?"

"That's your fault." Zhong Yuemin shook his head, his voice full of helplessness. "Think about it, you are so powerful, who wouldn't be afraid? If it were me, I would be afraid too."

The giant snake's scales gleamed coldly in the sun, and it swung its body angrily, as if ready to attack at any time. However, Zhong Yuemin remained unmoved, and the giant snake continued, "Stop talking about useless things, it's all their fault."

The giant snake suddenly stopped attacking, its body tensed, as if trying to control its emotions. Seeing this, Zhong Yuemin quickly changed the subject. "Okay, okay, it's all their fault. It has nothing to do with me anyway, and I can't control it. You know what? The world outside has changed."

Zhong Yuemin paused for a moment, as if thinking about how to express his thoughts more accurately, and then he continued, "Humanity is no longer what it used to be. They are no longer the fragile, vulnerable group they once were. Today's humans have mastered highly developed science and technology, and have countless weapons and equipment. So, if you leave here rashly, you will most likely be regarded as an alien or a monster and be attacked. Even if a nuclear warhead is launched at you, you will be wiped out and there will be no recovery."

Zhong Yuemin tried his best to keep his tone calm and gentle, but every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting the giant snake's heart hard.

The giant snake fell into silence, its huge eyes flashing with complex emotions. Zhong Yuemin knew that his words had deeply touched the heartstrings of the giant in front of him.

Zhong Yuemin let out a long breath, calmed his mind a little, and then spoke again. "I know very well that you are extremely powerful and invincible. However, in today's vast world, there are always some forces that even a powerful creature like you cannot resist. Just like those nuclear warheads with devastating power, they are enough to raze anything to the ground and turn it into nothing."

"I don't believe it. Not a single word you humans say is true! You're lying to me just like those people did back then." The giant snake opened its bloody mouth and roared angrily. Its voice echoed in the silent forest, as if it wanted to pour out all its grievances and unwillingness.
