A false alarm.

The corridor was very deep. As they continued to walk inside, murals began to appear on the walls of the corridor, but the traces had faded due to the passage of time.

I don’t know how long it took, but this corridor came to an end, the view in front became wide again, and the faint light of candlelight could be seen from inside.

Several people stopped tacitly.

In front of me was a square stone chamber. The chamber was very large and the stone walls were extremely decayed.

In the center of the stone chamber, there is a sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus is shaped like a bulge in the middle with two upturned ends. The lid of the sarcophagus is tightly closed. On the left and right of the sarcophagus stand two human-shaped stone statues, one of whom holds a candle in his hand. The candlelight comes from the candle in the statue's hand.

"Strange, why is there a candle burning in this tomb? Where does the wax come from?"

"It's not wax oil, it's oil made from the corpses of exotic animals. It's said that after being specially boiled, the oil from the corpses of exotic animals can burn for a thousand years without extinguishing. That's how the eternal lamps of the past were made."

Lin Yusheng nodded thoughtfully, "So there's such a saying."

"Thousands of years ago, exotic beasts were quite rare. People leading exotic beasts could be seen on the streets and alleys. As a result, many objects were made from the bones, fur, and other things of exotic beasts. After the exotic beasts died, the most common use for their bodies was to boil them down into oil."

However, due to the indiscriminate hunting by ancient warriors, the exotic beasts are now on the verge of extinction.

There is nothing special about this sarcophagus. I came here for the snake.

After a quick look around, they found the snake in the northeast of the stone chamber. It was coiled in the corner, motionless.

Its figure was hidden in the darkness, and if you didn't look carefully, you would almost miss it.

When Lin Yusheng saw the snake, his heart trembled.

It really is a big snake.

It was just as Li Fei said, it was as thick as a person and its length was inestimable. Its bluish-white snake skin emitted an icy cold light, and just one glance made one's scalp tingle.

"It's recorded in the Book of Strange Beasts that this snake should belong to the category of Qingtian Python."

"The Qingtian Python is a very ferocious species of python. They are cold-blooded, love to eat human flesh, and prefer dark, damp corners. Someone once tamed a Qingtian Python as a pet, but when the python grew up, it strangled its owner to death and devoured him alive."

"So, the Blue Sky Python is also a gloomy and vengeful beast. It's impossible for them to truly become pets."

The blue sky python in front of him was obviously asleep.

"This Blue Sky Python must be killed."

The Qingtian Python is a vicious beast. Once it eats the first person, there will be a second, a third, and countless more.

What's more, this blue sky python has apparently regarded this mountain as its habitat. If it is allowed to stay here, it will be a disaster for the Jiang family living here.

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Cixi glanced at Jiang Xiuluo indifferently and said, "Take advantage of it while it's asleep and do it."

Jiang Xiuluo nodded and pulled out a long knife from behind him. Holding the knife, he ran over, flipped over and jumped up, slashing at the python with all his might.

Jiang Xiuluo's speed was incredibly fast. As he moved, the air in the room seemed to become a little colder for some reason.

It was probably this cold murderous aura that awakened the sleeping giant python.

The giant python opened its black eyes and its huge tail quickly swept towards Jiang Xiuluo who jumped into the air.

Jiang Xiuluo was caught off guard by the snake's tail. He used the force of the snake's tail to jump away and avoided being knocked to the ground.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned the knife in his hand and chopped directly at the python's vital point. The python spit out its tongue and disappeared from its original position in the blink of an eye. Jiang Xiuluo missed and his eyes darkened slightly.

The snake's movements were truly astonishingly fast.

Lin Yusheng didn't even see where the snake suddenly jumped to.

Suddenly, a cold and dangerous aura came from behind.

Before Lin Yusheng could react, Jiang Cixi picked him up and threw him away, "Be careful."

The next second, the Qingtian Python's tail slammed heavily on the place where Lin Yusheng was standing.

If Lin Yusheng hadn't dodged, he would have been killed by the tail.

The giant python raised its head, and looked at the few people with its cold eyes and slightly narrowed pupils.

The next second, it opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng looked at the huge monster in front of him attacking him and could only quickly turn over to avoid it.

She hides, it chases.

The snake seemed to have figured out who was the easiest to bully here, so it chased Lin Yusheng and bit him madly.

Lin Yusheng gritted his teeth, waited for the right moment, and kicked the snake.

However, this kick seemed to have hit a stone, and Lin Yusheng felt a pain in her foot. Not only that, the next second she was slammed directly against the wall by the snake's tail.

Lin Yusheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

She fell to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

This blow is too painful, right?

Is this the strange beast?

But this dangerous excitement made Lin Yusheng a little excited. She pinched her palms, got up from the ground, and stared at the python with a look of insolence and defiance in her eyes.

She gathered her strength in her palms and attacked the python.

With a "bang", this palm did not seem to cause any harm to the giant python. Instead, Lin Yusheng himself was shocked so much that his limbs became numb.

It's simply an ineffective attack.

However, the giant python also began to counterattack. It swung its tail heavily again, and this time it directly threw Lin Yusheng into the air. Lin Yusheng fell to the ground with a "bang".

Lin Yusheng's head was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and his internal organs felt like they were falling apart.

Oh shit.

The snake played with her like a ball.

Lin Yusheng wanted to get up from the ground, but as soon as she moved, the smell of blood rushed out of her throat. She had no strength in her body, and the old wound on her heart was even more painful.

The giant python looked at the girl lying motionless on the ground, its sinister eyes narrowed, as if mocking her.

Suddenly, the giant python rushed forward, opened its sharp teeth, and bit towards Lin Yusheng.

Lin Yusheng looked at the bloody mouth that was suddenly approaching, and seemed to smell the strong stench from the snake's mouth.

However, the next second, a figure stood between her and the python.

Jiang Cixi stood with one hand behind his back, and raised the other hand slightly, saying in a threatening voice:

"Evil creature, stop it right now!"

Suddenly, the entire space seemed to sink several meters. It was an indescribable pressure. The sudden increase in the sense of gravity made it difficult for Lin Yusheng to even lift his eyelids.

This tangible pressure undoubtedly came from Jiang Cixi.

The ferocious python suddenly stopped where it was after Jiang Cixi said this. Although it still maintained the posture of biting, its eyes were distracted.
