If the person disappeared in the mountains, the search would indeed be more difficult.

Lin Yusheng just asked casually and didn't take it to heart. However, when she went to stroll in the garden after lunch at noon, she accidentally heard several guards chatting.

"Hey, you guys, is there a ghost on this mountain?"

"How is that possible? Old Seven, don't talk nonsense! I still have to go patrolling the mountains tonight. You sound scary."

"If there are no ghosts, then why would a living person disappear?"

"It must have been eaten by a ghost!"

"...

At this moment, one of the fat guards said mysteriously, "Hey, let me tell you, there really are ghosts on this mountain. Do you remember the tomb halfway up the mountain?"

"You mean...the tomb?"

"Yes, that's the tomb."

"Actually, Lao Wu and Lao Jiu often slack off during patrol. Sometimes they'll go take a nap in that tomb. I think they must be haunted by the ghosts in the tomb, so they don't come out..."

After hearing this, Lin Yusheng touched his chin thoughtfully.

She walked over to Li Fei and asked, "Is there a tomb on this mountain?"

Li Fei nodded and asked her, "How do you know?"

Lin Yusheng didn't answer his question, but just said, "Have you ever been inside that tomb?"

Li Fei shook his head. "Of course not. Who would go to such an unlucky place for no reason?"

"The guard who's napping on patrol will go." Lin Yusheng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the guard's disappearance is related to that tomb. I suggest you send someone to the tomb to take a look. Maybe they can find the missing person."

Li Fei suddenly realized, "I'll take people to check it out now!"

He quickly called a few people and hurried towards the tomb.

Lin Yusheng returned to the main hall, and Jiang Cixi was discussing with Jiang Xiuluo about leaving for Canghai City tomorrow.

Regarding this matter, Lin Yusheng could only wish her good luck.

After listening to Jiang Cixi and Jiang Xiuluo's conversation, Lin Yusheng told her what he had heard about the tomb.

Jiang Cixi narrowed her eyes upon hearing this and said, "So, the missing guard is most likely lost in the tomb."

"Why is there a tomb on the mountain of your Jiang family?"

"That tomb existed a long time ago, probably thousands of years ago. It's an ancient tomb. The fact that it appeared on this mountain is purely coincidental."

The Jiang family has lived by this mountain for generations. The ancestors of the Jiang family believed that the mountain has good feng shui, which is helpful for ancient martial artists to practice, and living here can make the family more prosperous.

"However, if the guards all disappeared in the tomb, then this tomb really needs to be searched thoroughly to see what is inside."

As soon as Jiang Cixi finished speaking, Li Fei suddenly came running in, crawling.

He looked very panicked, as if he had just experienced something terrible, and his face was pale.

"Miss Cixi, there are snakes! There are man-eating snakes in that tomb!"

Jiang Cixi's expression didn't relax when she heard this. She just said calmly, "Tell me clearly, what happened?"

"Yes... yes..." Li Fei trembled, "I heard that the missing guard might have been to the tomb, so I took two people in to check. As soon as we entered, we saw a giant python as thick as a person, about ten meters long, no, twenty meters, or even fifty meters long! It was devouring the remains of the corpse on the ground!"

Jiang Cixi raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "And then?"

"And then I ran out!"

Jiang Cixi raised her eyebrows and said, "Just a snake scared you like this?"

Li Fei: "..."

Just a snake?

This is not an ordinary snake! This is a man-eating snake, and it is so thick and long!

"Did you see clearly when you went in? That snake was indeed eating human remains?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly! I also saw..." Li Fei recalled the scene, his stomach churning. "I also saw the face of the person who disappeared last night!"

Lin Yusheng touched his chin and said, "So, the missing guards probably died at the hands of this giant python?"

If what Li Fei described was true, then this python was too big.

Could it be a strange beast?

"Now that you have figured it out, you can take people to deal with the snake to prevent it from hurting people again." Jiang Cixi said to Li Fei.

Li Fei: “?”

Seeing Li Fei standing there motionless, Jiang Cixi frowned unhappily, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"

Li Fei wiped his sweat and said, "Ms. Cixi, I... I don't dare..."

The snake was thicker than him, and one of its tails could probably fan him to death. How could he be a match for the snake?

At this moment, Jiang Xiuluo said, "Miss Cixi, that snake is probably not an ordinary snake. I'm afraid Li Fei can't handle it. Let's go with Li Fei to take a look."

Jiang Cixi thought about it and agreed.

Lin Yusheng watched them go and kill the snake, feeling a little anxious. She asked tentatively, "Can I go with you?"

Jiang Cixi didn't refuse, but just said calmly: "It's up to you."

Lin Yusheng followed happily.

First, she wanted to see if there really was such a big snake. Second, she wanted to see how Jiang Cixi and Jiang Xiuluo would deal with the snake. The scene would definitely be exciting.

The tomb is in a very secluded place, and the entrance is overgrown with weeds.

Looking in from the outside, it was gloomy inside. When you arrived at the entrance of the tomb, you could feel the cold wind blowing from inside.

Li Fei raised a strong flashlight to illuminate the entrance. The entrance was composed of stone steps, and following the steps was a passage leading downwards.

The four of them walked down slowly, deliberately slowing down their steps.

Lin Yusheng indeed smelled a bloody smell mixed with the stench of rotten meat, which was nauseating.

Finally we arrived underground, and the view became empty.

Lin Yusheng shone the flashlight into the corner, which was also the direction where the stench came from, and sure enough, he saw a pile of bones there, and dried blood on the ground.

The entire ground was covered with bloodstains of varying depths, some dragged and some sprayed, a shocking sight.

"Was it here that you saw the snake?" Jiang Cixi asked.

"That's right! I saw it as soon as I came in!" Li Fei pointed at a pool of blood on the ground that had not yet dried up and said, "It's right here!"

Only now, the snake was gone.

"It should be deep inside." Li Fei said, pointing forward, which was the direction deeper into the tomb.

They looked at each other and walked deeper.

Moss grew on the corners of the walls along the way, and the entire tomb was extremely damp, mixed with a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

The further we go, the narrower the passage becomes and the more humid the air becomes.

Suddenly, Li Fei shouted, "Be careful!"

A flock of bats flew out from inside.
