Chapitre 188: Chapter 188 What a pitfall!

The cavern was immense,

with eight dark red serpentine columns thick as a hug, supporting the lofty dome. The scales carved on the pillars emitted a soft glow, evenly illuminating the surrounding space.

The flow stemming from the Dark River meandered between the columns, creating complicated runic patterns before converging underneath the central altar.

Atop the mysterious black altar lay a woman, draped in cloud-like gauze, her figure graceful and alluring.

Eight golden chains, as yellow as ripe wheat, hung from the top of the serpent columns, each one binding the woman's neck, chest, arms, wrists, and waist.

Due to the angle, Wang Chen could not see her face clearly.

But he had a clear view of a long Golden Cudgel piercing through the lower half of the woman.

Diagonally embedded in the altar.

And her lower half was actually a serpentine tail covered in dense scales!

When Wang Chen entered the stone cavern, this half-human, half-snake woman appeared to be deep in slumber.
