Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 319 Snake Girl
Zhang Jingtian nodded: "Okay, tell me how to find your weapon."

Zhang Jingtian knew very well that since the old orc had said this to him, what he needed to do next was much simpler: help the other party find the weapon, and then leave the rest to the other party.

The old orc nodded: "But let me make this clear, this weapon is in the room of my good-for-nothing son's lover."

"A lover?" Zhang Jingtian had already roughly understood the structure of the entire palace, which consisted of countless rooms.

What Zhang Jingtian had to do was find everything needed for those rooms.

The old orc squinted and then laughed: "Yes, he was tired of his wife a long time ago, so he found a lover. But his lover is very powerful. If you go there, you must believe me and never look into her eyes."

Upon hearing this advice, Zhang Jingtian immediately displayed a strange expression.

This reminded him of a legend, so he couldn't help but ask, "Was his lover a woman with a snake's body and a human face?"

Zhang Jingtian thought of Medusa, because legend has it that if a person sees Medusa's eyes, they will immediately turn into a stone statue.

The old orc was clearly stunned when he heard Zhang Jingtian's words, and then nodded: "How did you know?"

Zhang Jingtian chuckled softly: "It's nothing, just a guess."

However, the old orc did not press further, because he knew that what Zhang Jingtian needed to do most next was to find his own weapon, and then work together to find a way to deal with his son, so that their world could be freed from the control of the Lord of the Abyss.

"Just remember not to stare into his eyes," the old orc emphasized again, then watched Zhang Jingtian leave.

Zhang Jingtian nodded, then quickly walked forward.

The next few rooms were filled with all sorts of enemies.

However, their strength is still inferior to Zhang Jingtian's.

Now, Zhang Jingtian has something else in his hands: the map given to him by the old orc.

Upon seeing this map, Zhang Jingtian realized that, besides the monsters hiding in each room of the palace, there were actually some strange things inside.

For example, there might be traps, dead ends, or even random teleportation to other rooms.

Without this map, finding the Beast King's room would be quite difficult.

To save time, Zhang Jingtian took a shortcut to his lover's room.

After searching high and low, Zhang Jingtian finally found a very convenient road.

As Zhang Jingtian stood before this door, he turned his head and glanced at the Grand Mage who had followed him all the way:
"Or should I go in alone?"

The archmage shook his head: "No, I'll go with you! By now, I've become increasingly curious about what our world was originally like."

Zhang Jingtian nodded, agreeing that the Grand Master's words made a lot of sense.

Anyone who has gone through so much would probably have similar thoughts.

Zhang Jingtian then pushed open the door and looked at the person sitting inside.

She was a woman whose hair and lower body were both snakes, yet she possessed a stunningly beautiful face.

She sat there quietly, and immediately made people feel that she was too beautiful and too mysterious.

Zhang Jingtian even found that a strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind, making him unable to resist looking at the woman.

Zhang Jingtian immediately realized how absurd his thoughts were and managed to restrain himself. However, the Grand Mage beside him clearly lacked such self-control.

He looked up at the woman and met her gaze.

Then, in the next second, this man, whose strength was definitely among the top ten in this world, turned into stone and remained motionless.

Zhang Jingtian cursed inwardly, but still quickly walked up to the woman:

"You can be alluring, right?"

The snake woman immediately laughed: "Hmm, you're actually unaffected by me, your willpower is truly strong! Why did you come here?"

"I need a weapon." Zhang Jingtian stated his purpose directly: "If you don't want to die, you can hand over the weapon to me."

Upon hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, the snake woman chuckled:
"So you were brought here by that man?"

She winked playfully, her eyes flashing with resentment and malice:
"But that old man still wants to make a comeback. We should have had the Beast King kill him back then!"

Zhang Jingtian immediately clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this woman was indeed a bad woman.

After all, the old man was the Beast King's father; no one expected this woman to want to kill him.

"I think you should be worried about yourself right now."

Zhang Jingtian saw the woman suddenly transform into a giant python and rush towards him.

However, the woman never expected that Zhang Jingtian could also transform, and that he would turn into a giant dragon.

When the dragon stared intently at the snake woman, she found herself unable to move due to fear.

Yes, Zhang Jingtian didn't even use any skills; he achieved such a powerful effect simply by relying on the pressure of the dragon race.

After all, for most beastmen, their fear of the strong is deeply ingrained in their very being.
Taking advantage of the moment when the other party tried to move, Zhang Jingtian opened his gaping maw and aimed it at the snake woman's neck.

With a heart-wrenching scream from the snake woman, Zhang Jingtian swallowed her entire head in one gulp.

After doing all this, the snake woman swayed her body and, with her last breath, pleaded with Zhang Jingtian: "Please, spare me! I was really wrong! I'll give you the weapon, please don't kill me!"

However, the snake woman's words had no effect on Zhang Jingtian.

Zhang Jingtian killed his opponent without hesitation, and then, like a seasoned butcher, solemnly dissected the snake woman's body and found the weapon inside.

It was actually just a very ordinary-looking wooden cane.

However, when Zhang Jingtian touched the cane, he clearly felt that there seemed to be a very powerful magical force flowing inside it.

Zhang Jingtian then kept his promise and returned to the room where the old orc was.

The old orc immediately showed a sigh upon seeing the wand.

Surprisingly, her wand really did return.

He then used his most powerful spell on Zhang Jingtian.
