d light flashed, and Sun Lao Da's low voice came through, "Calm seas, time to start cooking."">Now that he was sure no one was around, a gleam of excitement flashed in Lao Er Sun's eyes.He took off hi...After tidying up a bit, Yao Yumen said that they had to leave there because Xiaobingtou and his gang could show up at any time.

She said that the timing wasn't right and she couldn't confront them head-on just yet.

When I asked her what she was waiting for, no one else showed up.

Yao Yumen shook his head and said mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes. Just be careful, this isn't a game, people could die."

I really want to know what the plan is for the head, but this woman refuses to say, and I'm too embarrassed to keep asking.

I followed her immediately, curious to see where she was leading us to hide.

Two mountain monkeys led the way, these two beasts occasionally turned back and howled at Yao Yumen, I don't know what they meant.

"Can you understand them speaking" I asked.

“Don't look at me like that. I'm human, not a monkey. How could I understand what these animals are saying” Yao Yumen looked ahead and said in a low voice, “Listen carefully to their calls. Three long and one short means it’s safe ahead, while three long and two short means there is something ahead. This was told to me by the descendants of Qi Liu's family.”

I was amazed to hear that. After all, it's still a primate, and I didn't expect it to be so useful after special training.

I looked at the darkness ahead and asked, "Jade Sister, you should have been here for a long time. Where does this lead to"

It's hard to say.

The terrain here is quite complex now, and without a map, I wouldn't normally wander around aimlessly.

Suddenly, the two mountain monkeys leading the way ahead started screeching loudly.

Listen carefully, the sound seems like a series of three long and two short notes....

Yao Yumen waved his hand: "Be careful, they're warning us. There might be danger ahead. This is a hidden layer; no one has ever found this place before."

"How about we take a detour, go somewhere else instead"

The researcher looked at the darkness ahead, a little afraid.

Sister Hong frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "It's just the barking of two animals. It might be nothing at all. The first taboo when entering a tomb is to frighten oneself."

She turned her head and looked coldly at Researcher An: "If you dare to speak nonsense again, don't follow us."

"

"I... I," Researcher An stammered, lowering his head and avoiding Red Sister's gaze.

A few people walked a short distance further.

"Squeak! Squeak, squeak!" The capuchin monkey with a straw hat went crazy, running back and forth while constantly pointing at the ground.

Yao Yumen shone his flashlight down, and we discovered something.

It is a shedding of skin similar to that of a snake.

"This...this isn't a four-legged snake stone dragon, is it How can something like this still shed its skin Isn't this a bit too big..." I bent down and touched it.

Some snake skin was visible on the ground, but most of it was buried under mud. I touched it with my hand and felt that the snake skin was somewhat weathered. It must have been here for a long time.

This thing is generally only a few dozen centimeters long, anything over half a meter is considered an anomaly. But judging from the snake skin in front of me, its length far exceeds this size. Because most of the snake skin is buried in the mud, we still don't know how big it really is.

Yao Yumen shone her flashlight around the area, then said, “Judging by the environment, there wouldn't normally be a Shi Longzi here in Shun De. The presence of these creatures in the underground cave under Fei E Mountain is likely connected to the original tomb owner. It could be a special population of Shi Longzi.”

"> "

“This kind of creature is a cold-blooded animal. Cold-blooded animals have underdeveloped brains and lack self-awareness. Furthermore, because their senses are highly specialized for hunting, they can only be used to hunt prey and even fail to recognize stationary targets, let alone identify individuals. Humans cannot control them.”

">

"That's right, I agree," I echoed. "Jade Sister, we saw that secluded back garden before. Perhaps this Marquis loved rare animals and plants, had a special collecting obsession."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"No! Be careful! There's something down there!" Hong Jie suddenly shouted.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The two mountain monkeys directly grabbed the protruding stones and climbed to a high place. They stared at a certain spot on the ground and screamed frantically.

"Step back, huddle together."

Yao Yumen's face was grave. She reached into her bosom and pulled out a dagger, clutching it tightly in her palm.

"On the left!" With the flashlight beam, I suddenly saw a strange bulge beneath the mud.

Next, a four-legged snake over two meters long, with a yellowish-brown body, crawled out from the mud!

It lay on the ground, about ten meters away from us, hissing and spitting long threads of venom.e!At that moment, the girl with earrings grabbed his hand and looked at him, shaking her head while whispering a few words I couldn't understand. It seemed like she was trying to persuade him.Their ca...
