My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 1039: The Annihilation of the Mermen
The Fish People, just as Qing Li said, had quite an enmity with Yuan Hong.
Their eyes were all bloodshot, babbling nonsense, shouting curses in an unknown tongue.
Yuan Hong seemed to understand this language, and cursed back just as incoherently.
It would have been better if he hadn’t retorted, but as soon as Yuan Hong responded.
The entire Fish People tribe became enraged, and they even went so far as to skin their dead members to make war drums on the spot.
The war drums pounded continuously, the scene suddenly becoming majestic and vast.
This place had unexpectedly become a battlefield, both sides engaged in endless slaughter.
"What are they saying, Grandma, can you understand?" I asked Qing Li in a low voice beside me.
"It’s the Mermaid Clan language," Qing Li pinched her nose, enduring the salty fish smell from the mushrooms, "The gist is, in order to make these Everlasting Lamps, the Mermaid Clan nearly went extinct. The Fish People bitterly hate Yuan Hong, but Yuan Hong believes it’s the survival of the fittest, with opposing stances, naturally, they fight endlessly."
"But the Fish People had turned into Everlasting Lamps, how did they suddenly come back to life?" I was even more confused, having just realized that these Everlasting Lamps were made from the bodies of Fish People, I thought they were all dead.
When they suddenly woke up, it really felt like they had come back to life.
Qing Li sighed and said mournfully, "The Everlasting Lamps were made from living fish, the Fish People wake up regularly, eat salty fish-flavored mushrooms to maintain their body oil, ensuring they don’t extinguish."
"I see, only by staying alive can they have everlasting life, maintaining the real Everlasting," I patted my forehead in understanding, and cautiously glanced at Qing Li, whispering, "Grandma, since you have a desire to kill Yuan Hong, why not use the Forbidden Woman Witchcraft to kill him, why go round and round like this?"
The current battle situation is quite delicate, Yuan Hong because of his high demonic power.
Fights evenly with a group of fiercely battling Fish People, with the Fish People taking heavy casualties.
"I’m not as compassionate as you, if I could kill him, I would have long done so." Qing Li coughed lightly, and coldly said with a laugh, "In King Yu’s Tomb, killing the Tomb Guardian will cause all the mechanisms and restrictions in the tomb to target you."
"So, Yuan Hong must die by someone else’s hand, high, truly high!" I gave a thumbs up.
Inwardly, I couldn’t help but admire Qing Li’s meticulous thinking, no wonder her eldest son Yu Longting has such high intelligence.
Qing Li narrowed her eyes slightly, and said calmly, "Actually, I didn’t do much, I was just worried about finding a way to deal with the monkey. It was the monkey himself who shouted so loudly and woke the Fish People."
From the start Qing Li used Forbidden Woman Witchcraft to control Yuan Hong, but could only make Yuan Hong suffer.
Because there was no way to kill Yuan Hong, even if he intentionally led us astray.
Qing Li remained silent, following quietly.
Until Yuan Hong led us here, wanting the awakened Fish People to finish us off.
If it weren’t for Qing Li cleverly pulling me into a mushroom for hiding, by now both Qing Li and I would have certainly been tricked, beaten up by the Fish People into pulp.
Our hiding made Yuan Hong himself the target of everyone’s attacks.
In the end, he shot himself in the foot.
"So Grandma, now we have no one leading the way, what should we do?" Though I knew Yuan Hong deserved this fate, both Qing Li and I were still in a precarious situation.
Qing Li’s long finger touched her lips, making a silence gesture, with a mysterious smile: "Shh, the time is about right."
Huh?
What time is it??
"Big Sister, can you... help me, save my life." Yuan Hong had lost his right arm in the fight, suffering many injuries.
By now he was at the end of his strength, his entire fur stained glaring red, jumping onto a mushroom’s cap searching for our figures, "I know you must have a way to help me, just teach me, I swear I won’t lay a hand on you, please come out."
