Serpent Sarcophagus novel Chapter 12

Based on what Mrs. Quebec and Master Chang said, I vaguely realized that the so-called Serpent Sarcophagus was connected to the ancestors of the Dragon family, but I didn’t expect it to have such a dope name.

Uncle Peter wasn’t able light up his cigarette before throwing it away and waving at the men next to him.

The two men immediately swung the wooden sticks in their hands, forcing me to jump down.

I was certain that Stowy was here, so I felt a lot calmer. With wooden sticks swinging next to me, I had no choice but to jump into the pit again. I wanted to trick Uncle Peter into telling me more information, “Why is it called Sarcophagus of Ascension?”

“A snake’s greatest wish is to ascend into a dragon. That ghost snake has been dead for so many years, but it’s still alive in the Serpent Sarcophagus. It wants to use the Serpent Sarcophagus to ascend into a flood dragon!” Uncle Peter squatted by the pit and looked at me as he explained.

But then he beckoned to the two men. “Tie her up.”

I was so scared that I almost jumped up, but the man next to me hit my forehead hard with a wooden stick.

I was caught off guard by this blow. I only felt something explode in my head before I started seeing stars and felt dizzy.

The two men jumped in and tied me up.

I walked for most of the day without drinking or eating anything. I didn’t have any energy left to struggle after trying to escape out of fear and being hit in the head.

My hands and feet were tied up. They even tied a fast knot in front of me.

“Aurora, Master Chang was wrong. You can’t escape. As long as you lie in the Serpent Sarcophagus, your parents will be fine.” Uncle Peter looked down at me.

In a low voice, he said, “Everyone in Dragonlair Village will thank you. When you draw out the Serpent Sarcophagus, we’ll see it and know its secret. The Serpent Sarcophagus won’t be used to bury snakes anymore. It’s better to bury with people.”

“Do you think burying living people in the Serpent Sarcophagus has the same effect as that of the ghost snake? Will it attract snakes or protect our descendants?” Uncle Peter looked at me with frantic eyes.

I suddenly thought of Uncle Peter’s father, who was said to have suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed for two years.

So Uncle Peter planned on burying him alive in the Serpent Sarcophagus?

After the two men tied me up, they climbed out of the grave pit and signaled to Uncle Peter that they could leave.

The entire grave was quiet again. I finally raised my wrist and looked at the Black Mamba Bracelet around it. “Stowy?”

Stowy appeared directly in the pit this time. With a light touch of his hand, the rope on my body was loosened. “Your uncle is watching in the woods. They brought a lot of other things.”

In other words, if I ran away, Uncle Peter would definitely stop me again.

“Can you help me?” I pulled the rope off my body, but I didn’t dare show my head out of fear that Uncle Peter would see me. “Help me save my parents.”

Although he didn’t have a snake body now, this Black Mamba Bracelet was movable.

Based on the many years of experience of making snake liquor that my dad had, I knew that it was an opportunity to escape as long as he wasn’t tied up.

Stowy’s gaze became more intent, and then he caressed the wound on my forehead.

His fingers were as cold as jade, and with a light stroke, I felt less pain on my forehead.

It seemed as if my head had been cooled down too, so I felt a lot more awake. Even my body felt better and not as hot.

“Too late, it’s already here.” Stowy’s finger left my forehead, leading me to look back slowly.

I saw a man standing on the edge of the grave pit. He was dressed in a white robe like a deity and looked down at us. “Stowy, long time no see.”

His voice was crisp and clear, but his eyes were cold, and his pupils kept shrinking when they looked at me.

“Aurora, I’m Orion.” He looked at me and chuckled. Like a snake, he tilted his head slightly. “Hurt your forehead?”

I’ve always heard that he was a snake, so I didn’t expect to see a human.

He even had a warm and gentle smile on his face that I wasn’t sure for a moment if he was still that sinister, cunning, and boorish snake…

I turned to look at Stowy, who nodded at me.

Orion chuckled, “Your uncle wants the Serpent Sarcophagus?”

I was stunned for a moment and felt something rising up under the soil beneath my feet.

Soon, wind blew hard, rustling the leaves. There was lightning, but no thunder.

I looked down at the weeds, trying to see what exactly the so-called Serpent Sarcophagus was. But the grass was too tall, and the thing underneath rose too slowly that I couldn’t see anything at all.

Stowy hurriedly hold me and jumped out from the grave. He looked at Orion and said, “Why do you have to kill again?”

“Just getting my revenge.” Orion turned and looked at the woods on the opposite side and then hissed, poking his tongue out.
