I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 260 - 256 Severing the Serpents Trust

Chapter 260: Chapter 256 Severing the Serpent’s Trust Chapter 260 -256 Severing the Serpent’s Trust The Giant Serpent was in pain, but it was helpless against the Taotie.

It was like having a stubborn fishbone stuck in its throat, impossible to get rid of, and since the Giant Serpent had neither hands nor claws, it couldn’t pull out the Taotie that was nailed inside its mouth.

It could only keep shaking its head, hoping to fling the annoying little monkey that was the Taotie out of its mouth.

The Taotie squatted in the Giant Serpent’s mouth, each hand gripping a knife, the blades deeply embedded in the soft flesh of the serpent’s oral cavity, up to the hilt, unaffected by the serpent’s head-shaking, standing firm as if he had grown in the serpent’s mouth.

Seeing this scene, Tom and Hummingbird secretly gave the Taotie a thumbs up, thinking, “Awesome~”

Only the Taotie dared to venture into the serpent’s mouth alone.

Tom and Hummingbird asked themselves if they would have the courage to play like the Taotie.

One careless move, and they could be flung out or swallowed alive into its belly.

The Giant Serpent got tired of shaking its head and stopped.

Lying on the ground somewhat wearily, that lone remaining eye was still full of resentment and malice.

The Giant Serpent occasionally blinked, seemingly calculating what method to use to extricate the bothersome little monkey from its mouth.

Seeing that the Giant Serpent had stopped thrashing, the Taotie grinned, showing a very nasty, mischievous smile.

“Hehe~”

“Not struggling anymore, you beast?”

“Then it’s my turn!”

The Taotie smirked as he stood up, without removing the knives.

Removing the knives would signal pain to the Giant Serpent.

Hummingbird had told the Taotie.

This Giant Serpent was an intelligent creature.

As an old hand in the underworld, the Taotie naturally knew how terrifying intelligent creatures could be.

So, he wasn’t going to do something foolish, like drawing the knives.

And signal to the Giant Serpent his intention to cause mischief.

Once he drew those knives, it had to be ruthless!

He wasn’t going to make a move without causing some substantial damage to the Giant Serpent.

The Taotie’s eyes, shifty and cunning, kept scanning the inside of the Giant Serpent’s mouth, looking for a way to give it a bone-chilling, exultant lesson.

Suddenly!

A lightbulb went off for the Taotie!

His thieving eyes fixated on the Giant Serpent’s tongue.

“Chop off this thing…”

“And you have to stew a pot, right…”

The Taotie muttered to himself.

Tears of greed uncontrollably streamed from the corner of his mouth.

Staring at the Giant Serpent’s flickering tongue, the Taotie’s eyes grew brighter.

“You’re the one!”

With a cold smile, the Taotie silently counted the frequency of the Giant Serpent flicking its Snake Gall, looking for the right moment to strike.

The Taotie squatted by the knives, lighting a cigarette.

While puffing and blowing smoke rings, he continued to count the frequency.

During that time, the Giant Serpent was unusually well-behaved.

Without moving an inch, it just quietly stared at Tom.

It seemed it was conserving its strength, wanting to give Taotie, inside its mouth, a vicious blow.

That solitary eye glinted with cunning light, hinting at some devious plan it was concocting.

Tom and Hummingbird were also happy to have a respite; they didn’t provoke the Giant Serpent and just quietly watched it, enjoying the fleeting calm before the storm.

Both man and serpent had their own insidious schemes.

Each was holding back malice, ready to surprise the other.

A cigarette smoked down to the butt, Taotie gripped his twin blades, counted to three in his heart, spit out the cigarette butt, and fiercely pulled out the blades, slashing viciously at the Giant Serpent’s Snake Gall.

A muffled “pfft” sound.

Blood spurted like an arrow from the mouth of the Giant Serpent, its several-meters-long Snake Gall was instantly severed by Taotie.

With its Snake Gall cut off, the Giant Serpent’s body trembled, rolling over in pain so intense it flipped immediately, as Taotie once again drove his blades violently into the serpent’s flesh, leaning forward, letting the Giant Serpent thrash however it wanted; Taotie just gritted his teeth and held tightly onto the handles of the blades.

Seeing the Giant Serpent rolling around on the ground, Tom and Hummingbird were both stunned. Was Taotie being bitten inside the serpent’s mouth?

How did he cause the Giant Serpent so much pain?

It was only when the Giant Serpent shook its head and spit out a few meters long Snake Gall, landing at their feet, that Tom and Hummingbird knew Taotie had done something significant, inflicting such a serious injury to the Giant Serpent.

Tom and Hummingbird exchanged a glance, each reading shock in the other’s eyes. Taotie was really something; they had to hand it to him for coming up with the strategy of defeating the Giant Serpent from the inside. This strike might not be enough to kill the Giant Serpent, but it would surely deal a significant blow to its vitality. If time dragged on, it might actually bleed out and die from the continual blood loss.

Fang Xiaocao, who had rushed over, was also shocked to see the Giant Serpent lying on the ground, writhing nonstop.

Seeing that Tom and Hummingbird were just standing by as spectators, Fang Xiaocao blinked, hesitated for a moment, and didn’t dare to go closer, fearing she might be swatted dead by the flailing tail of the Giant Serpent.

Fang Xiaocao took out her communicator and sent a message to Tom.

[Fang Xiaocao: Tom, what’s with this serpent having a fit? Where is Taotie?]

Hearing the “beep beep” sound from the communicator, Tom took it out, glanced at it, and saw it was a message from Fang Xiaocao; he immediately opened the communicator.

After reading the message from Fang Xiaocao, Tom looked up and quickly spotted her hiding behind a stalactite.

Tom smiled faintly and replied with a message.

[Tom: Princess Your Highness, Taotie is inside the serpent’s mouth. That blockhead Taotie is really brave, diving into the Giant Serpent’s mouth and cutting off its Snake Gall.]

After sending the message, Tom even gave a kick to the bloody Snake Gall at his feet.

Behind the stalactite, Fang Xiaocao was startled by the message.

She knew Taotie was hardheaded, but she hadn’t imagined he was that foolhardy.

He really was fearless!

Daring to enter the serpent’s mouth, not afraid of slipping into the Giant Serpent’s stomach.

The Giant Serpent continued its thrashing, its massive body breaking who knows how many stalactites, with its saliva and fresh blood covering the ground, almost forming a lake of blood. As the Giant Serpent writhed, blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding rocks with a smear of scarlet.

Taotie was not having it easy, tossed around by the Giant Serpent; his head and face were covered in snake blood, which was sticky and, as Taotie retched, poured into his mouth. The foul stench of snake blood assaulted Taotie’s taste buds, making him even more nauseous, intensifying his vomiting. His vision was a blur of red, obscured by nothing but snake blood.

Taotie could only clench his jaws, trying to swallow as little snake blood as possible, lest he be choked by it.

Just then!

The Giant Serpent seemed to have grown tired from struggling, its rolling motions considerably lessened, giving Taotie a chance to catch his breath, but the very next second, a large rock suddenly smashed towards Taotie. Startled, he hastily dodged to the side but not before the rock’s sharp edges slashed his arm, leaving him with a bloody gash over a dozen centimeters long.

The rock grazed past Taotie and rolled into the throat of the Giant Serpent, swallowed into its stomach.

“Damn it!”

“What the hell just happened?”

The intense pain in his arm made Taotie frown and curse under his breath.
