80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

Following the direction Xiao Feng pointed, Lin Yue indeed found the two mushroom-shaped mountains.

Once inside, you'll see a cave. The cave entrance is surrounded by lush trees, tall grass, and some brightly colored flowers.

It's obvious that no one has been here before; the entrance to the cave is blocked by grass, with only a corner showing above.

Bai Ling never expected there to actually be a cave here; it was truly a case of blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse.

Xiao Feng was also somewhat surprised, as what he had told Lin Yue before was all made up.

Lin Yue used a prepared stick to sweep away the weeds at the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that it was safe, she began to cut the grass with a sickle.

It's obvious that no one has ever been here before, so it would be easier to open up a small path into the cave.

Moreover, the tall weeds would obstruct their view, making it difficult to spot any wild animals that might appear.

Bai Ling also held a knife and helped clear away the branches and weeds nearby.

"I didn't expect there to actually be a cave here. I just wonder if there's any treasure inside."

Xiao Feng suddenly felt a cool breeze and couldn't help but shiver. "Why do I feel like there's something eerie here? Could there be something strange?"

Bai Ling didn't pay any attention, assuming he was just trying to scare her.

"You're such a coward. What strange things could possibly be in these deep mountains?"

Xiao Feng couldn't quite describe his feeling, but he just felt uneasy all over. He waved the wooden stick he had picked up along the way and cautiously observed his surroundings.

I should have brought a weapon. If we had encountered any birds or beasts, this wooden stick wouldn't have been of much use.

Lin Yue was already being cautious, and his words made her even more focused.

While cutting the grass, he listened carefully to the sounds around him.

As she approached the cave entrance, she suddenly smelled a familiar scent.

This is?

She was startled and was about to tell Bailing and the others to be careful when a rustling sound came from the cave entrance.

Suddenly, a colossal creature appeared before them; a snake as thick as a bowl emerged from the cave entrance.

Its eyes were cold and sharp as it stared intently at Lin Yue and the other two, its gaping maw flicking its tongue as if warning them not to enter its territory.

Lin Yue was so startled that she took a few steps back, and couldn't help but gasp, "Ah..."

She had been running around in the mountains since she was a child and had seen quite a few snakes, but she had never seen one this big before. This one was much bigger than the one that Jiang Mengshu kept.

"Ah..." Xiao Feng also hid behind Bai Ling in fear. He was still a child and couldn't stand such a scene. In particular, he was most afraid of slippery things. Just thinking about it made him feel goosebumps all over.

Bai Ling also took a few steps back. "What's going on? How come there's such a big thing here? Could this cave be their lair?"

This thing looks really creepy; its eyes look like it wants to eat you alive.

Lin Yue took out a sachet and scattered the medicinal powder inside around. This powder was made by her own hands and had the effect of repelling snakes, insects, rats and ants. She just didn't know if it would work on this big guy.

As if it had smelled the scent, the giant snake retracted its body back into the cave, leaving only its head sticking out, glaring fiercely at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue knew that the powder had taken effect; the snake dared not approach them, but it also did not leave the cave entrance, clearly not wanting them to enter the cave.

Based on past experience, there should be something inside the cave, and this snake is likely protecting that thing and preventing them from getting close.
