The pain from his burning throat and suffocation both made Tang He roll on the ground.
Soon, he began hammering his chest. His throat was injured by his fingers which were still covered in metal energy. Streams of blood gushed out of those wounds.
However, he couldn't feel that, because the burning pain from his chest and throat and the suffocation almost put him into unconsciousness.
The dark mist covered his face and eyes and soon began corroding them.
"Ah..." His eyes were slowly devoured. His burning throat and lungs, and all other kinds of pains that he had been suffering made him want nothing but a quick death.
He opened his mouth wide to roar, but he had already lost his voice.
Lin Qiao understood his meaning. She leaped off the building and reached out a hand, then bent over and inserted her claws deep into Tang He's skull.
Puff!
As her claws penetrated his skull, he stopped struggling. After that, he relaxed his twisted face and stopped breathing. But, his mouth stayed wide open.
Lin Qiao waved a hand to take back the black mist. Meanwhile, she crumbled Tang He's skull with her hand, then stirred his brain and found a level-seven energy nucleus.
She coldly glanced at Tang He's body. His clothes had been devoured by the dark mist, and so was his skin. At that moment, he looked like a skinned human body.
She raised a hand and released a wisp of dark mist. After that, more and more dark mist drifted out of her palm and wrapped Tang He's body up. Before long, the dark mist shrank.
Without his power, the skinned Tang He was entirely devoured by the black mist in less than ten minutes.
Only a puddle of blood was left on the ground, following which, Lin Qiao made her dark mist devour a layer of ground in that area.
After dealing with the body, Lin Qiao glanced at her hand which was covered in blood and brain matter, and also at that energy nucleus.
She thought for a moment. Earlier on, Viney asked her to give her the snake's energy nucleus. But days ago, she let that snake go, and Viney never asked her for the energy nucleus again.
So now, she planned to give Tang He's energy nucleus to Viney.
But before that, she needed to find that giant snake which earlier escaped into the woods in her space.
She suddenly felt that that snake was really unlucky. Judging by the wounds on its body, she figured that Tang He had given it a really hard time.
She walked to a bucket by the lakeside and fetched some water with a water ladle to clean her hand and the energy nucleus. Then, she poured the dirty water onto the grass, and then put the nucleus into her pocket.
After that, she turned and headed toward the woods.
She quietly entered the woods and walked toward the deeper area.
In the woods, there was no grass on the ground. The soil was clean, with a few fallen leaves on it.
She walked about a mile and then found the king cobra which was coiling by the edge of the woods. That area was also the end of this space.
It might have tried for a long while to go through the milky fog and failed, then decided to hide there.
It was probably exhausted from the escape and pain. So now, it coiled its body and looked like a pyramid. It had buried its head in its coiled body and stayed motionless.
It moved slightly upon sensing Lin Qiao's approach, but didn't rear up its head. All it did was create a gap between its coiled body and look outside the gap
The weird thing was that it wasn't so afraid when it saw Lin Qiao. It seemed that nothing could make this snake feel more despairing than it did earlier when it was hunted by Tang He.
Lin Qiao stood three meters away from the snake as she crossed her arms before her chest and asked, "Do you want to go out? I'll send you out if you want to leave."
The king cobra seemed to be puzzled for a second. The snake was surprised that Lin Qiao actually talked to it. Even though it didn't understand her words, but it did wonder if this meant that the upright-walking creature would not attack it.
With confusion, it slowly raised its head and looked at Lin Qiao with curiosity.
"Do you want to go out?" said Lin Qiao.
The king cobra still looked at her curiously.
Lin Qiao understood the look in its eyes, but could not communicate with it.
She sighed and made two steps toward the snake. As she thought, the king cobra immediately raised its head high with vigilance, its eyes showing fear.
Looking at its eyes, Lin Qiao stopped moving, feeling speechless.
'Come on, you're a snake! You should be cold-blooded, heartless, fierce, and brutal! You should be an aggressive predator! Look at you now... You're not fierce at all! The look in your eyes makes you seem like a lamb...'
Obviously, the snake had suffered too much pain these days.
At first, it was beaten by Lin Qiao and the zombie dog, and earlier today, it was tortured by Tang He. It could even be the most miserable giant snake in the world.
"You're the poorest snake I've ever seen, " said Lin Qiao, "You're so huge, but why are you so weak?"
The king cobra looked at her confusedly. What was she talking about?
Lin Qiao made another step toward the snake, and the snake immediately leaned its head slightly backward. The pair of eye-shaped patterns on its neck expanded, becoming like hand fans.
Seeing that, Lin Qiao immediately stopped walking.
She knew that although the snake seemed to be preparing to attack, in fact, it was only trying to frighten her and protect itself. It was so scared of her, but was still trying to act fiercely.
However, the look in its eyes had sold it out.
Lin Qiao made two steps backward and said, "Alright, I won't get anywhere close to you."
She felt that if she went closer, the snake would either try to escape or hurt itself.
She thought for a moment, then decided to let the snake stay in her space for now, so that it would not run around outside. After all, it might accidentally enter the construction site. Also, she wanted to communicate with it.
After making the decision, she exited her space. In the next moment, she saw a dirty and ugly huge dog sitting under the tree where she had disappeared from earlier.
As Lin Qiao showed up, the zombie dog immediately stood up. Maybe because of its nature, it had now learned to wag its tail to Lin Qiao. Only the tip of its tail was moving though.
Lin Qiao carefully observed its dirty and messy fur, then said, "I'll come out to shave you when I have absorbed this nucleus! You have to be shaved!"
"Ow?" The zombie dog looked at her confusedly.
Finishing talking, Lin Qiao brought the dog to the sweet potato field.
As she arrived at the road beside the field, Qiu Lili quickly flew to her from the rock and landed by her side.
"How's it going? Where's that person?" she asked.
Lin Qiao looked at those zombies who were working in the field. After confirming that none of them was missing, she responded, "He's dead. I brought him into my space and killed him."
Qiu Lili looked at her with surprise and asked, "Eh? You're able to kill a level-seven? Exactly how powerful are you? Why do I feel that you're still a zombie queen? But, you can even kill level-seven!"
Lin Qiao looked at Qiu Lili, then shook her head and said, "With my current power, I was surely not able to kill him directly. So, I needed a plan."
While speaking, she pointed at her own head.
