Serpent Sarcophagus

Chapter 11 Sarcophagus of Ascension

The call was very ethereal. Faint, yet clear.

The road from the village to the mountain was smooth. My hands were tied up and I couldn’t walk properly, but I could walk slowly forward.

After a while, the direction where the sound was from changed and I accidentally stepped into the bushes.

Something stabbed my leg and I took a deep breath from the pain. But I couldn’t control my legs and was continuing to walk towards the calling.

My body got pricked by thorns from time to time and the sharp pain hit me. But I just couldn’t stop myself from walking.

After a long while, so long that I could feel the sun slowly turning from a hot ball of heat to a gentle beam.

I was getting close to the voice and my body was getting hotter and hotter as if the Snake’s Lust Poison from last night was messing with me again. But this time it was worst. My whole body was burning up and everywhere itches.

My whole body got sweaty and my legs were like jellies. I stumbled and fumbled and yet my legs wouldn’t stop walking.

The voice in my ears started to sound like a snake hissing and flickering its tongue.

Fuzzily, I stepped into a puddle-like thing and then I tripped.

The blindfold on my face got caught by something and was ripped off.

Only then I realized that I was in an abandoned grave pit.

Waist-height grass grew all over the pit. Seemingly it had been dug a long time ago.

Thousands of snakes slithered on the edges of the grave. They stacked on each other. Some held their head up and hissed at me.

I then noticed my blindfold on one of the snake’s tails.

My body trembled violently upon seeing so many snakes. I didn’t dare to move.

Not to mention that the mere number of snakes could fill up the pit. If they leaped towards me, they could drown me in the pit, they didn’t even need to bite me.

I held my breath and after confirming that they were only staring and hissing at me, I slowly raised my hands that were tied up.

Maybe Uncle Peter really just wanted to bury me in the Serpent Sarcophagus, that would explain why the rope on my wrist wasn’t a dead knot. I used my mouth to try to untie the knot.

At the same time, I sat down on my knees. The pit was about half my height and when I knelt, I could see what was outside.
