Chapter 43: Snake Mountain (Middle)

  Wen Baiyu immediately sat up and said in surprise: "Is there really a Snake Mountain?"

  He said, leaning forward and looking ahead, "How can't see anything?"

  The sly beast smiled and said: "She Mountain is an ancient sacred place, ordinary people can't see it, only at night can its true appearance be revealed."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "So evil?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou took out the binoculars from his backpack and looked into the distance, then handed them over to Wen Bai Yu. Wen Bai Yu looked through the binoculars and couldn't help but exclaim: "My god!"

  Tang Zǐ and Yǔ Wèi Yáng also woke up on the other side, and Wēn Bái Yǔ said in surprise: "This island is too big, such a large island in the sea, how come no one has discovered it?"

  The monster smiled and said: "I told you, Mount Snake is something ordinary people can't see."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly, "This island is surrounded by dense aquatic plants, it's likely that the aquatic plants release a large amount of toxic gas and fog after being exposed to sunlight during the day, making it difficult to be discovered at dusk. At night, the temperature drops and the fog disperses, so only at night will its true appearance be revealed."

  Wen Baiyu listened to him and looked through the telescope again, and indeed, around the big island were dense water grasses, cluster after cluster. She couldn't help but laugh and say: "So that's how it is."

  The beast was dismantled by humans, and it let out a disdainful "hmmph" as if it didn't like Wan Qi Jing Hou's attitude. It hummed and pouted, then ran to the back of Wen Bai Yu to hang on.

  Wen Baiyu was made to feel very embarrassed, the beast had lived for over a thousand years but still looked like a little boy, his whole body smooth and shiny, his chest tightly pressed against his own back, this feeling was too embarrassing.

  However, this beast seems to like lying on its own shoulders.

  Wen Baiyu had no choice but to take out a set of clothes from his backpack and hand them over to the beast, saying: "You quickly put on your clothes."

  The beast pouted and said: "But I don't like wearing clothes, clothes will damage my fur."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but look up and down at the beast, its entire body was smooth, not even a single hair, let alone fur.

  Wen Baiyu said: "That also requires wearing clothes, the sea breeze is so strong, if you don't wear clothes, you'll catch a cold."

  The monster suddenly smiled and twinkled its bright big eyes, saying: "So you care about me? You're really a good person! Then dress me up!"

  He said, raising his hands, apparently gesturing for Wen Baiyu to dress him...

  Wen Baiyu suddenly had a kind of bitter parenting experience and was also given a good person card...

  Wen Baiyu had no choice but to take the T-shirt and put it on the beast's head, then helped him into the sleeves.

  The beast smiled slyly, raised its chin, and looked at Wang Qi Jing Hou with a provocative gaze, its eyes gleaming with arrogance.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't say a word, he just picked up his binoculars and carefully looked at the distant Snake Mountain.

  The giant squid put on the clothes, he was particularly thin and small in stature, after putting them on, they looked empty and fluttered with the wind, like a ghost at sea.

  The sly beast smiled and said: "Since you're so good to me, I'll give you a little something."

  He said, using his hand to tap gently on Wen Baiyu's leg, which was wrapped in a plaster cast and had been bitten by the beast, feeling numb.

  "What's going on?"

  The sly beast smiled and said: "Get up and try it out, nothing's wrong now."

  Wen Baiyu didn't believe in evil spirits, but as soon as he really stood up, his legs didn't hurt at all, just like they hadn't been broken. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "The flesh of the beast has healing properties and can remove dead skin."

  Wen Baiyu stroked his chin and smiled: "That roasted rabbit meat looks pretty good."

  The little beast twitched its small nose and let out a hum.

  Yu Wenyang said: "The Snake Mountain is right in front of us, but after walking for so long, we still haven't arrived. How much farther do we have to go?"

  "Or should I say, a horse dies on the mountain it's looking at."

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Let's go ashore and rest for a while. I've been drifting all night, I'm dizzy."

  The beast said: "There are monsters on Snake Mountain, going to the island to rest is no better than drifting on the boat."

  "What monster?" said Wen Baiyu.

  "The ferocious beast said: 'I don't know either, I just heard it from others. They say there's a strange creature on Snake Mountain and also a big snowy mountain that you can enter but not exit, many people have died inside.'"

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "Many people? It sounds like many people are looking for this Snake Mountain?"

  The sly beast smiled and said: "Of course, this island has a fairyland, all-powerful, it is said that what the spirit asks for, there are also treasures buried."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Treasure? Or is it a tomb?"

  The beast said: "I don't know either, but I do know one thing - this treasure and the things in the bronze box he mentioned can be pieced together."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly narrowed his eyes, then lay down with his clothes on.

  Wen Baiyu looked ahead and saw that the island was still far away. Fortunately, she also lay down, unsure if they could arrive before dawn.

  Wen Baiyu leaned over and squeezed beside Wan Jingshou, lowering his voice to ask: "What you said about him, is it true or false?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou opened his eyes and looked at Wen Bai Yu, saying: "Half true, half false."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Is there really such a part? I heard it was so mysterious."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou smiled and stretched out his hand to hold Wen Bai Yu, saying: "He wants to lure us up the Snake Mountain."

  Wen Baiyu said: "All the way I heard them talk about She Shan, and sometimes they talked about the tombs on She Shan, and the things unearthed were so many that one person couldn't move them."

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "Looking around, it's just this island. We should go up and rest. Since we've come, let's make ourselves at home. Let's take a nap first."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and fell asleep with her head on General Wan's arm.

  As soon as she closed her eyes, something suddenly came over, and Wen Baiyu opened her eyes to find herself almost scared to death by the enlarged face of a beast.

  The beast crouched before him, laughing and saying: "He's a bad man, you lean on my arm."

  He said, patting his own arm.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Those small arms and legs, Wen Baiyu was afraid that if he lay down, they would snap with a "crack".

  The beast saw that he wasn't speaking, fortunately lay down, using Wen Baiyu's belly as a pillow, closed his eyes and fell asleep, saying: "Hmph, you'd better listen to me, or you'll suffer the consequences."

  Wen Bai's eyes were hazy and he soon fell asleep. When he woke up, it was because someone had shaken him awake. He sat up in a daze, his eyes still not fully open, feeling a lump in his throat and having difficulty swallowing saliva. He must have caught a cold from the sea breeze.

  Wen Baiyu's nose was stuffy and he said, "Are we there yet?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, saying: "We've arrived, let's go ashore. Later on, you can eat something and then take your medicine."

  Wen Bai's face was pale and her hair was disheveled, she was led by Wan Qi Jing Hou to walk on the road, with a very obedient look.

  The beast in the back watched the two people holding hands very naturally and hummed a sound, also following them.

  The sky was misty and bright, with lush aquatic plants growing everywhere. The shallow water area stretched far out, making it impossible for the boat to proceed any further. They had no choice but to stop. As they disembarked, Wen Baiyu lost her footing and let out a cry of alarm as she almost sank into the mud.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "This can't be stood at all, it will be wrapped up as soon as you walk."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to support his arm, and everyone else felt it too. With each step, they sank into the mud, which was too soft.

  The hippopotamus stood on the boat and looked at the mud in the shallow water with great disgust, saying: "I don't want to go, you carry me, my white hair will get dirty."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You're too big, I simply can't carry you."

  He said, the beast "whooshed" and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only a piece of clothing. Suddenly, the beast transformed into a rabbit-like creature, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a rabbit. On its head grew a pair of large ears, and its entire body was snow-white. If you ignored its upper body, it really looked like an adorable little rabbit.

  The beast transformed into a small rabbit, lying on Wen Baiyu's shoulder and said: "Alright, let's go. It's going to be dawn soon, these aquatic plants will become poisonous when exposed to sunlight, let's hurry up and get in."

  The little beast transformed into a small rabbit and became much lighter, lying on Wen Baiyu's shoulder was particularly well-behaved, so Wen Baiyu let him lie there.

  The crowd walked in, and Wan Qi Jinghou pulled Wen Baiyu's hand. Wen Baiyu walked very slowly, afraid of getting stuck and unable to get out. At this moment, he felt a chill on his ankle, as if something soft had wrapped around it.

  "Ah..."

  He let out a loud shout, and then his entire body was pulled backwards, plunging downwards. Wan Xi Jing Hou reacted quickly, grabbing hold of him and preventing Wen Bai Yu from falling into the water. However, the beast was not so lucky, being blocked out and tracing a beautiful parabolic curve before landing in the water with a "plop".

  Yu Wei Yang looked at the shallow water area with a ripple, and suddenly fell in with a "plop" sound. He couldn't help but burst out laughing with a "heh".

  Then bubbles appeared in the shallow water area, and the beast emerged from inside, shouting: "My fur! My fur is all black!"

  Wen Baiyu couldn't laugh anymore, he looked down into the water and saw that it was very clear. The bottom of the water only had aquatic plants and mud. However, as soon as he lowered his head, he discovered that there were aquatic plants wrapped around him, and at his feet, there was a corpse!

  The corpse was lying in the water, already bloated, with aquatic plants tied around its limbs, and also inserted into its eyes and nostrils...

  "Ugh——"

  "Wen Baiyu suddenly let out a dry retch and said, 'There's a corpse!'"

  Everyone was called by him and immediately came to see, and indeed saw the body. The body was wearing adventure special clothes, looking like it was well-prepared, but died here before even getting on the island.

  The monster jumped out of the water, because the rabbit's shape was too small and was constantly flooded, so it had to transform into a human shape, with mud all over its feet, saying: "Hurry up! Don't look back! It's going to be dawn!"

  As he spoke, everyone saw a streak of light about to burst out from the horizon.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu and pulled out a dragon-scale dagger, cutting off the water grass with a "whoosh" sound, saying: "Go!"

  Many people waded through the water, crossing a very long stretch of aquatic plants. The sunlight shone down, and Wen Baiyu and others finally ran onto the island.

  Beyond the reeds, a forest appeared soon, dense and lush, blocking out all the sunlight that filtered through, the forest was very dark, the ground was all wet mud, the air seemed particularly humid, looking like a primitive forest.

  Wen Bai Yu stared at the forest in surprise and said, "In a place like this, how can we sit down to rest? Won't there be wild beasts and a lot of insects coming to eat us?"

  The ferocious beast said: "That's natural, there are many wild beasts in this forest, but you don't have to be afraid. I am an ancient spiritual beast and no wild beasts will come near."

  Wen Baiyu looked at his small body board and expressed great doubt.

  They proceeded bit by bit in the forest, walked for half an hour, and finally found a flat area. Everyone sat down to start having breakfast.

  Wen Baiyu ate a bit, her mouth was bitter. Just now she came over with a runny nose, and now the wind blows in the forest, feeling a little cold again.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou gave him some medicine and said: "Lean on me and sleep for a while, when you wake up, we'll find our way back."

  The greedy beast said in surprise: "Wait... you're going back? Not looking for the treasure? There's something you want in that treasure!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou touched Wen Bai Yu's forehead and said: "Bai Yu has a fever, I can't take the risk."

  The beast snorted and smacked its lips, hummed a sound, muttered in a low voice, saying: "Hmph, pretending to be good to him."

  Wen Baiyu had taken some medicine and was feeling a bit dizzy. Just then, she suddenly heard a loud cry of "Ah!" and was shocked awake.

  A man's shout suddenly came from the forest, Wen Baiyu thought he was dreaming, and then he heard another "Ah ah ah!!" The voice was very loud, echoing in the woods, startling a flock of birds.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly sat up, looked around and said: "Is anyone there?!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and Wen Bai Yu said: "Is there a wild beast?"

  As they were speaking, they heard a rustling sound, as if someone was running rapidly through the woods. Then a figure rushed over, shouting while running: "Ghost!!! Help!!!"

  Wen Baiyu took a look and found that it was actually Lao Xu, who had kidnapped him. Lao Xu was holding a gun in his hand, running while looking back, but there was nothing behind him.

  Lao Xu saw them and rushed over, shouting: "There's a ghost!! There really is a ghost! There's a mummy over there! Its belly is moving!! It's moving!"

  Wen Baiyu was disgusted by what he said, especially since they were in a forest full of insects, and his skin was already crawling with goosebumps, yet there were even desiccated corpses.

  Tangzi said: "I'll take a look around, you guys wait here."

  Yu Wei Yang grabbed him and said, "Let's go together."

  Wen Baiyu also nodded and said: "Yes, what if you lose it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "How is your body?"

  Wen Baiyu patted his chest and said, "Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well last night. Now that I've slept for a while, I feel much better."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou finally stood up, and Lao Xu was already scared pale, saying: "Don't go! You guys don't go...... There really is a ghost!"

  They slowly walked in, and before long, they saw where Lao Xu said the ghost was.

  On the ground, a male corpse was lying on its back, the body had withered, strangely, it had only withered, lost water, and become somewhat like a mummy, but without rotting or being eaten by insects.

  To know that this is a forest, there are so many insects, and they gather in groups. If you don't move frequently, you will be bitten by the insects. But this corpse is surprisingly intact.

  Just then, Old Xu suddenly shouted "Ah!!" and pointed at the corpse, saying: "It moved! It really moved!!"

  Wen Baiyu lowered her head and took a look, it really moved!

  The mummy lay on the ground with its eyes open and mouth agape, its belly surprisingly swollen compared to its shriveled body, swaying back and forth as if there was a large package inside.

  Wen Baiyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took half a step back and said: "What's in his belly, is it a ghost fetus? But he's a man!"

  The beast crouched on his shoulder again, poking its head out and saying, "How disgusting."

  He said, Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly frowned and stretched out his hand to block Wen Baiyu's path, saying: "Fall back, something is about to crawl out."

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he retreated several steps, and Lao Xu let out a loud "ah" and turned around to run away, disappearing in an instant.

  "Rustle... rustle..."

  "Rustle... rustle..."

  "Rustle, rustle, rustle......"

  The belly of the male corpse bulged and then a thin leg crawled out of his wide open mouth, followed by another one, and another one.

  Suddenly, a spider crawled out of the man's mouth and stepped on his withered face. The big spider was as large as a palm, but Wen Baiyu had seen even larger human-faced spiders, so this one wasn't particularly surprising.

  "Damn it scared me to death, it was just a spider."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou frowned and said: "It's not just one."

  Just as he was speaking, a large spider appeared behind him, and many small spiders crawled out from under it. The small spiders were very tiny, but there were too many of them, making a rustling sound, dozens of small spiders poured out of the man's belly.

  Like a tidal wave!

  "Ah..."

  The beast let out a loud roar and clamped its legs around Wen Baiyu's waist, shouting: "Too scary, so disgusting, run quickly!"

  These spiders are multicolored, with very bright patterns on their backs. Even the spider legs look like neon lights, and they appear to be poisonous at a glance.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou took out a lighter from his backpack, lit one and said to the beast: "No way, this fire is too small! Run quickly, run quickly! There's a road over there!"

  He pointed it out and everyone else thought the lighter was no good, so they all ran deeper into the woods. Wen Baiyu said: "Why is there a spider in the corpse?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's a spider's egg sac."

  Wen Baiyu said: "How disgusting!"

  They ran all the way in, with rustling sounds behind them. In the end, the spider was still afraid of the fire in their hands, so it didn't dare to chase too closely.

  As they ran, Wen Baiyu suddenly shouted, and everyone looked ahead to see that they had emerged from the forest. Further ahead, it was a vast expanse of snowy mountains. The scene was magnificent, and just one glance made people's blood boil with excitement, as if there was boiling water churning in their hearts.

  "Really have snow-capped mountains?!"

  As the crowd walked by, Wen Baiyu lowered her head and saw two flowers at her feet. One flower grew in the muddy soil of the forest, while the other was only five centimeters away, growing outside the forest. The flower inside the forest bloomed with vibrant colors, while the one outside had withered and fallen to the ground, frozen to death.

  As everyone stepped out of the forest, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew up, with a loud whooshing sound, and its force was so great that it almost swept people away.

  The beast's upper and lower teeth collided, its frozen molars grinding together with a "ka-ka" sound, saying: "So cold! So cold!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "You're not wearing clothes, of course you'll feel cold."

  Wan Jie Jing Hou took off his outer garment and put it on Wen Bai Yu's body. Wen Bai Yu shook her head vigorously, Wan Jie Jing Hou said: "Don't worry, I really won't get sick."

  "Right, right, hurry up and put it on. You're already ill yourself, don't worry about him, he's an old monster."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou glanced at the beast with a faint gaze, and the beast pouted its mouth and hummed.

  Tang Zi also took off his clothes and put them on Yu Wei Yang, then reached out to hug him, saying: "Boss Yu, are you a little warmer?"

  Yu Wei Yang himself was a ghost pulse, couldn't stand the cold and dampness, let alone such cold weather, his lips were purple from the cold, his hands were icy, but he still nodded slightly, his voice trembling, saying: "Good...good now..."

  Tangzi's face didn't look good, and he said: "Boss Yu is in poor health, let's head back."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou thought for a moment and finally nodded his head.

  The beast was in a hurry and said: "Don't! Don't! Let's keep going inside, I'm telling you, there are good things inside! I'm serious, it can cure his ghost pulse!"

  Tang Zi's eyes suddenly became sharp and scanned towards the Xiang Shou.

  The beast growled and hid behind Wen Baiyu's back, saying: "What I said is true."

  Tang Zilei said coldly: "How many of the beast's words can be true?"

  The beast was particularly aggrieved, grabbing Wen Baiyu's shoulder and saying: "Really, really, you'll know once you go in, it's true. The things inside can really cure Guimai. Guimai is a small matter, that thing has everything. Don't mention Guimai, it's too trivial."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "What is it after all? If you don't say, we will leave now."

  The monster thought for a moment and said: "To be honest, I don't know what it is either."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  "But it's absolutely something very important, my master has been looking for this thing all the time, unfortunately only found two of them, one is in a bronze box, and the other is right here in the tomb of Snake Mountain."

  He said, casting a seemingly unintentional glance at Wen Baiyu.

  What am I doing in your eyes?

  However, surprisingly, no one asked who his master was.

  Wen Baiyu thought for a long time, suddenly remembering that he was really stupid. In the underground palace of the tomb, it was already very clear from the murals on the wall that the beast was rescued by the phoenix and had been raised by the phoenix ever since. Its master was naturally Hong Yu.

  The beast said, "This tomb should be from the Ming Dynasty. I heard it was built on a mountain as a palace, and after the owner of the tomb was buried, the craftsmen would set fire to it, triggering an avalanche, burying all the craftsmen in the mountain, with no one able to escape. The palace above ground then became an underground palace. From the Qing Dynasty onwards, people have been coming to dig up the tomb, but they got lost in the heavy snow and never found it. It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong nominally renovated the Ming Mausoleum, but actually coveted the Zhu Di Longling, wanting to use the renovation as an excuse to steal the golden nanmu pillars from the Longling. I have checked many classics and found that the story of stealing wood should be true, and at that time, there were officials in charge of renovating the Ming Mausoleum who recorded this matter. When dismantling the golden nanmu pillars of the Longling, a very strange thing happened."

  The officials in charge of repairing the Ming Mausoleum secretly recorded this incident, and it is said that when they dismantled the golden nanmu pillars, one of the large pillars suddenly collapsed with a loud crash.

  These large pillars of golden nanmu wood are so sturdy that even if they were to collapse, it would be difficult for them to lose their corners. This is also the reason why Qianlong wanted to steal the wood.

  However, this large pillar had indeed collapsed and broken in the middle. The official was very surprised and went to see the pillar himself. To his astonishment, he found that the pillar was hollow. This kind of pillar can bear weight but cannot withstand being struck; one strike and it will break.

  In Zhu Di's mausoleum, there was actually a hollow golden nanmu pillar that had been built with substandard materials. The officials couldn't understand how someone could have done such a thing in the emperor's tomb, and when it was discovered, it was considered an attempt to destroy the nine clans, something no one dared to do.

  The official then examined the rod and discovered an unbearable thing.

  Inside the hollow of the golden nanmu pillar, a volume of scriptures was hidden.

  The official then presented this strange thing and the Buddhist scripture to Qianlong. Although Zhu Di revered Buddhism and often held large Buddhist ceremonies during the Yongle period, there was no need to hide a Buddhist scripture in his own mausoleum.

  Qianlong was also puzzled by this matter and felt that there must be some secret hidden inside.

  It's just that the scriptures were in Sanskrit, and no one could understand them. The Qianlong Emperor then invited a high-ranking monk to come and take a look. After reading it, the high-ranking monk felt that this scripture was profound and difficult to understand, not an ordinary Buddhist scripture, truly unheard of.

  Later, by chance, a poor and humble Dao broke the heavenly mechanism, which was not a scripture at all, but a map, using Sanskrit to describe a specific geographical location, and this location was the ancient legend recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Snake Mountain.

  On the mountain of snakes, there is a snow-capped mountain that never melts. Inside the snow-capped mountain, there is a tomb where a huge secret is buried. Among the burial objects of the tomb owner, there is a divine object unearthed from the Western Zhou Dynasty, but it is incomplete and its use remains unknown.

  Qianlong heard that in She Mountain, a part of the dragon's pulse was buried. If he could get this thing and piece it together completely, he would be able to keep the rivers and mountains forever.

  Qianlong then sent people to start searching for the treasure of She Mountain, but after a long search, nothing was found. Moreover, it is said that there is a snake god guarding the tomb on Snake Mountain, and anyone who intends to dig up the grave will be cursed by the snake god and die miserably.

  Wen Baiyu listened and said: "This is also too weird, so what exactly is in the snowy mountain's tomb?"

  The beast shook its head and said, "I don't know either. But the master said that it's best not to collect them all. However, you've also seen that there are so many corpses on the island, and many people are searching for the secret of Snake Mountain. The tyrant already has one in his hand, and this is the second one. I just think that it's better for him to have them all than for someone else to have them."

  Wen Baiyu blinked her eyes. This tyrant must have been a Wan Xiang Hou, but it's also unknown how the little rabbit thought of such an apt description!

  "It's freezing outside, let's go take a look instead. Who knows, maybe we'll find something inside..."

  He finished speaking and suddenly felt cold, hiding in Tang Zi's arms and shivering.

  Everyone still decided to go for a walk in the snowy mountains.

  The forest was still warm and humid just now, but the snow mountain is flying all over the sky, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and I don't know when I will fall into the snow.

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her hands together and said, "You guys say, isn't this mountain inhabited by Jiu Yin? Otherwise, why is it a forest on one side and a snowy mountain on the other? One side is cold and the other is hot, this is also too unscientific."

  The rabbits were also frozen, the food and water they brought became hard as soon as they arrived, wanting to take a sip of water, touching the bottle, suddenly didn't dare to drink it, if you drink it, won't your stomach be frozen into a hole?

  Outside it's autumn, not yet the time to wear woolen clothes, and what they're wearing isn't thick either. But here, snow is floating around, a desolate scene, making them look even less dressed. Yu Wei Yang's whole body feels icy cold, almost fainting away.

  Tangzi suddenly shouted "Yu Laoban", and saw Yu Wei Yang collapse to the ground, they were on a snowy slope, Yu Wei Yang fell headfirst, rolling down the snowy slope with a loud rumble, at an extremely fast speed.

  Tangzi let out a loud shout and suddenly jumped down, rushing downwards like his life depended on it, sliding down while chasing after Yuwang Yang.

  With a "bang", Yu Wei Yang crashed into the tree and completely fainted, but fortunately stopped after crashing into the tree.

  Tang Zǐ rushed over and picked up Yuè Wèi Yáng, whose lips had turned purple, face was pale, and limbs were almost stiff.

  Wen Baiyu and they slid down the snowy slope, Wen Baiyu saw Tangzi's appearance, shouting: "I just came down and saw a cave over there, hurry up, take Yuwang to avoid the wind."

  As soon as he spoke, a puff of snow blew into his mouth, and he felt a chill on his tongue.

  Wen Baiyu covered her mouth with her hand, waved at Tangzi, and the crowd continued to climb up the mountain. After climbing for a while, they indeed saw a cave.

  Wen Baiyu led the way in, and everyone else followed. The cave was very drafty, but as they walked further in, the howling wind outside sounded like someone wailing. However, once inside, the wind couldn't blow in, and it felt a bit warmer.

  Wen Baiyu rummaged through her backpack, they had fire, but nothing to burn, the fire would not last long, and it was completely meaningless.

  At this moment, a flame suddenly burst out of Tangzi's palm with a "whoosh" sound, and it was burning fiercely. He held Yu Wei Yang in his other hand, brought the flame closer to him, and whispered: "Boss Yu, wake up quickly."

  Wen Baiyu walked over and massaged Yu Yang's hand, feeling that his hand was very cold, but with a fiery temperature. Soon, his lips were no longer so purple.

  Yu Wei Yang slowly came to after a long time, and finally extinguished the flames in his hand. He tightly hugged Yu Wei Yang and said: "Boss Yu, you scared me to death."

  He said, his voice trembling slightly.

  Yu Wei Yang's brain was still in a daze, Tang Zi's palm felt extremely hot, Yu Wei Yang lowered his head to take a look and saw that the center of his palm had turned dark, as if it was about to be scorched.

  Tang Zi saw him looking at himself, and hastily hid his hands behind his back, also wiping them on his clothes, saying: "Got a bit of dirt."

  The white feathers looked so real, where was the soil? It was completely charred.

  The beast hung on the back of Wen Baiyu, whispering: "Hiss, I've never seen a grave so deep in emotion. It turns out that graves can be so gentle too, what a pity."

  "What a pity?" said Wen Baiyu.

  "Unfortunately, he doesn't have much time left. Although the tomb is not a phoenix, its spiritual power is extremely strong. Moreover, the tomb is a ferocious beast that none of us spirit beasts dare to provoke. Such a ferocious beast can live for at most thirty years. As it grows older, its body will become increasingly unable to withstand its own spiritual power. It's like a container filled with too much gas and constantly heating up until it explodes. Look at his hand, the flesh is clearly no longer able to withstand the spiritual power."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You know so clearly, then do you know what method can make the grave not die?"

  The rabbit twitched its whiskers, wriggled its little nose, let out a sneeze and said: "I'm just a domesticated rabbit, I can only tell lies, nothing else. Alas, since my master started raising me, I couldn't even lie smoothly... But if my master were here, he would definitely have a way, he's the most formidable."

  The beast spoke with a smile, seemingly gazing at Wen Baiyu with a profound meaning.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Then where is your master? Is he... buried with King Xiang?"

  The beast shook its head and said: "I don't know, my last mission was to guard the bronze box in the empty tomb, I don't know anything else."

  "So the tomb itself was empty?"

  The beast nodded and said: "It seems that it was originally intended to be used, a large amount of manpower was used to build the underground palace, but later on, for some unknown reason, it suddenly stopped being used."

  Wen Baiyu thought to himself, "It's another suspected tomb of King Xiang."

  Wen Baiyu and Xie Shou were talking, but Wan Qi Jinghou was staring at the wall of the cave all along, but there was nothing on this wall.

  Wen Baiyu walked over and said: "What are you looking at?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at it for a while before saying, "This cave is man-made and not naturally formed. The walls are polished very smoothly."

  "So this cave is a tomb?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "I don't know, but since it's polished so carefully, even if it's not a tomb, there must be something inside."

  Wen Baiyu nodded and said: "Let's rest for a while longer, wait until Yang Rui's physical strength recovers before we continue on our way."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stood up and said: "I'll go in first and take a look, if there's a way out we can talk about it later, you rest here for now."

  Wen Baiyu immediately stood up and said: "I'll follow you, let's go in and take a look, if there's a way, we'll all go in together."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but grab him, and Tang Zi nodded and said, "I'll accompany Yu Lao Ban to rest for a while."

  Yu Wei Yang woke up but soon fell asleep again due to physical exhaustion and is now sleeping soundly.

  The beast also stood up to follow, Wen Baiyu said: "You'd better stay here, Tangzi alone can't take care of Yuwang, if something happens, you can help."

  The beast pouted its mouth, and its erect ears drooped down, sticking to its cheeks, saying: "I want to follow you."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Even selling cute is useless."

  "......"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu's hand and walked in, the inside of the cave seemed very deep, without the difficulties they had imagined, the cave was very wide all along, even after entering, the space was much wider than the entrance.

  The inner wall of the cave was polished very smoothly, and it went deep inside all the way. It was a straight road, without any forks in the road. The deeper you walked, the warmer it got. The entrance to the cave kept going down, as if it wanted to go deep into the earth.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly exclaimed, "What's that up ahead?"

  He said, pointing, the stone cave was getting darker and darker. Wan Kuang Jing Hou took out a fluorescent stick, shook it twice, and the fluorescence brightened, vaguely in front of him was an iron hook with a metallic luster.

  The hook lay on the ground, motionless.

  "Wow, how did weapons end up here?"

  He said, and also waved a fluorescent stick, discovering that the end of the hook was connected to something black, which really couldn't be seen clearly.

  Wen Baiyu took a few steps forward, squatted down to look, and the hook was very sharp. The huge iron hook was covered with small reverse thorns, looking extremely sharp. The end of the hook gradually thickened towards the depths of the hole, and there were strange scales at the thickening position.

  Wen Baiyu thought, this hook design is also too exaggerated.

  Just then, the iron hook suddenly "whooshed" and fell down.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and pulled Wen Bai Yu, Wen Bai Yu only felt the wind brushing past his face, that hook "bang" hit the stone wall, the stone wall suddenly appeared a big hole.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the hook in surprise and said: "Moved... moved!?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped his hand and said: "It's bad, it's a venomous snake."

  "Turn into a snake!?"

  That huge snake actually crawled into this cave?!

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled his hand and said: "Hurry up."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the python seemed to have discovered them. The python's head was hidden deep in the cave, only its tail was facing them. Suddenly, the tail swept across, making a loud "bang" sound. The sharp tail hooked onto the stone wall with a "clang", and knocked down many rocks.

  Wan Ji Jing Hou brought Wen Bai Yu forward with a swoop, dodging the snake's tail, and the two quickly scrambled to their feet, dashing outwards.

  Tang Zi and his friends, although outside, also heard the deafening sound. Yu Wei Yang suddenly woke up from his dream and said: "What's going on?"

  Tang Zi quickly carried him on his back, and the beast's ears suddenly exploded, its little nose constantly twitching as it said: "It's not good!"

  Yu Wenyang said: "What's wrong?"

  The monster said: "I just vaguely smelled a fishy smell, and thought it was the cave being too damp. It turned out to be the smell of a snake! It must have been that transformed snake!"

  The beast stood up and said: "Quickly carry him out, Wen Baiyu and the others must have been discovered by Huashe. If Huashe gets angry, it's not certain that it won't shake the cave."

  He said he wanted to run inside, Yu Wei shouted at him: "What are you going in for?"

  The beast ignored him and plunged into the depths of the black hole, muttering: "Of course I'm going to find my master!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou took Wen Bai Yu and rushed out, just as they heard a "rumbling" sound coming from behind, apparently something was crawling in the cave.

  Wen Baiyu said: "It's too weird, how did that big snake get into this hole?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "This cave is very likely to be polished out by him."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly thought that the cave walls were smooth and very round, could it be that this giant snake drilled out of here?

  As they ran, a black shadow suddenly darted out in front of them and landed on Wen Baiyu's shoulder.

  Wen Baiyu was startled and turned his head to look, only to find that it was a Xiang Shou, which had transformed into a small rabbit.

  The giant beast let out a loud roar: "Master!"

  Wen Baiyu didn't hear it at all, even if the beast was shouting in his ear right now. Wen Baiyu was so scared that he couldn't hear anything. He could only be grateful that the giant snake had its head buried in the hole and its tail facing them. Otherwise, they would have been swallowed by its bloody mouth by now.

  They rushed out of the cave and saw Tang Zi carrying Yu Ruo Yang. Wen Bai Yu shouted, "Run! Run! Don't be stunned, Huashe is coming!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, a giant snake's tail rolled out of the cave, and the beast's fur stood on end, just like a cat, but not in anger, rather in fear, shouting: "Run, run, run! The snake is out!"

  Everyone said that he immediately rushed forward, such a big python, and pythons are generally in the Yin Mountains. I don't know why this snake would be here. Even if Wan Gui Jing Hou has seen a lot, Tang Zi is a tomb, everyone hasn't seen a python before.

  Everyone was chased and ran forward together, without changing east, south, west or north, and the heavy snow was vast, with no idea where they had run to.

  The snake emerged from the cave, its head suddenly raised, and the black-green scales on its body suddenly rose, transforming into two huge wings that opened with a loud roar.

  "Hmm..."

  A sudden gust of wind swept over, and Wen Baiyu suddenly felt her body lightened as she was rolled up in the wind and sent flying out.

  "White feather!"

  Wan Ji Jing Hou shouted and pounced forward, embracing Wen Bai Yu, holding him tightly in his arms, protecting his head, and was swept down the snowy slope by the wind.

  The most pitiful one is the snow leopard. The snow leopard's body is small, and with a single blow, all its fur will fly off. When the snake flapped its wings, the snow leopard instantly flew down the snowy slope like a flowing stream, making a "whooshing" sound as it fell into the deep snow, and in an instant, it was gone, leaving behind only a hole. The snow pit was blown by the wind, and immediately buried again.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou hugged Wen Bai Yu and rolled a long way, finally stopping. Tang Zi carried Yu Yang over on his back, running all the way. Wen Bai Yu quickly reached into the snow to search, searching for a long time before finding a pair of soft rabbit ears. With a heave, "plop", she pulled out a snow-covered beast.

  Wen Baiyu now hated that he couldn't tie the rabbit ears of the beast to his own hands, so he could free up both hands to escape.

  The beast was knocked dizzy, with stars in its eyes. As soon as it opened its eyes, it saw a huge python rising up, the python's body was thicker than a giant tree, standing upright like a column, opening its huge eyes, and in the snow, the python's eyes shone like searchlights, emitting an eerie green glow.

  The monster roared: "It's coming! Run, run fast!"

  Everyone crawled out of the snow, and Tangzi said, "This won't work."

  Wen Baiyu ran while shouting, "I'm so strange! This snake seems to have a very bad temper, just like it's guarding that hole!"

  He said that everyone else also felt strange, Wan Qi Jing Hou quickly ran back, turned his head and looked into the vast snowy area, suddenly saying: "I know."

  Wen Baiyu ran until she was out of breath and no longer felt cold. Her whole body was covered in hot sweat as she asked, "What do you know?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "You look back."

  Wen Baiyu no longer had time to look back and it was more important to escape with his life. Tang Zi turned around and took a glance, exclaiming in surprise: "It's a snake!"

  Wen Bai Yu Xing said, isn't it nonsense? Of course, it's a snake! Or rather, a transformed snake!

  Tangzi continued: "It turns out that the cave we hid in from the snow earlier is actually a giant stone sculpture of a snake!"

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't resist his curiosity, turned his head to take a look, and the first thing he saw was the snake chasing after him, with a big mouth and a protruding fang that was as thick as his arm!

  The snake's tongue is very thin!!

  This is still not enough to fill the gaps between teeth!

  Wen Baiyu cursed inwardly and then saw what they were getting at, he was shocked beyond words.

  They had already run very far, and the cave they were just in was now barely visible in the heavy snow. The entrance to the cave was actually a snake's head with its mouth wide open, and the cave itself was the snake's body, even carved with scales on it. A gigantic snake-shaped statue wound its way through the snow, but the rest of it had disappeared into the drifts.

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "That... that cave must be a tomb! No wonder the snake spirit wants to drive us away!"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Go first!"

  Go first...

  I'll be right back...

  They rushed out very far, and the snake was chasing after them. Wen Baiyu's feet suddenly slipped under him, and he let out a loud cry as he tumbled down the slope, his eyes filled with snow, the world spinning around him, unable to stop himself.

  The white ball rolled down, fell into a snow valley, and hit something with a "bang". When it looked up, it suddenly shouted "Oh my god"!

  A gigantic beast stood before him, its white fur fluffed up against the creature's paws.

  That beast was enormous in size, with a human face and the body of a sheep, on its head grew a pair of massive horns, its mouth had long sharp fangs, its claws were razor-sharp, and it swung a long tail behind it. It lowered its head to look at him, a hint of a smile slipping across the corner of its mouth, as if it had seen something delicious that it had been craving for a long time.

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that his soul was gone, is this a disaster? Behind him was a venomous snake, in front of him was a wild beast, and he didn't know what bad luck he had encountered.

  The beast faced Wen Baiyu, almost drooling, and smiled as he opened his mouth. To their surprise, he could speak human language and said: "Wen Baiyu, we meet again so soon. Are you thinking of me?"

  Wen Baiyu was shocked: this beast actually knew its own name?!

  Wen Baiyu looked up and suddenly felt that the beast's human face was very familiar. She thought carefully for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed: "Taotie!"

  He said, and the crowd had arrived, while the python had also arrived. The python raised its head, its emerald green eyes staring at them, opening its mouth to let out a deafening roar.

  Taotie glared with its eyes, the transformed snake's body was too tall, much bigger than Taotie. However, as an ancient ferocious beast, how could it be willing to show weakness? Immediately, it stomped its claws and raised its head, letting out a huge roar towards the transformed snake, like a lion.

  "Oh...my mother!"

  Wen Baiyu was still under his claws, almost chopped to pieces, and quickly crawled out from under the glutton's feet.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou helped him up and asked: "How is it?"

  "Just... just stepped on a bit, it's fine..."

  The snake stopped its body, and the two of them stared at each other. It was unclear whether it was wary of the ferocious beast or not. The emerald green eyes scanned over everyone, lingering on Wan Xi Jing Hou for a few seconds before suddenly revealing a hint of surprise, then suddenly turning its head around.

  Gourmand almost got his tail swept away by him, and immediately retreated several steps, only to see the snake suddenly turn around and walk away, crawling towards a distant snake hole.

  Everyone was astonished, how did the snake suddenly run away? Was it really afraid of the glutton?

  He proudly raised his head and smiled: "How about it? I'm awesome, right? I saved your lives."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The monster said: "Did you guys just notice..."

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "This snake has one blind eye."

  Wen Baiyu really didn't notice this, his two eyes were emitting a green light, no matter how you looked at it, he wasn't blind.

  Wan Kuang said, "What he says is not accurate. He can indeed see with both eyes, but there is a deep scar above his left eye. This eye should be fake."

  He said, looking at Yuwen Yang, "Just like his eyes."

  Yu Wei Yang seemed to understand but not really, while Wen Bai Yu understood. This transformed snake's left eye was blind for some reason, definitely injured by someone or something else, and later replaced with a spiritual object.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Anyone who can hurt this python or a wild beast is too formidable."

  "At this time, proudly said: 'Like me so fierce.'"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu was almost too weak to make sarcastic remarks.

  Wen Baiyu looked at himself and said: "Such a big snowy valley, how can we climb up?"

  He said, and everyone fell into contemplation. Wen Baiyu then asked Piao Yu: "How did you end up here? Are you familiar with the terrain around here?"

  He hummed and said, "Of course I'm familiar with it, this is where I rest."

  He said, Wen Baiyu suddenly lowered his head to look at his feet, and suddenly remembered that last time in the arena, Tianyi's foot was clamped by a beast clip, with deep scars visible to the bone, almost amputated, it turned out he was hiding here to recover.

  But this is indeed a good place for recuperation, with sparse population.

  Manchu saw Wen Baiyu looking at his own feet, and also revealed a somewhat embarrassed expression. He interrupted, saying: "You asked me just in time, I'm very familiar with the terrain here. If you follow this road forward, you'll be able to get up there soon."

  Wen Baiyu looked up and suddenly became speechless. Where the hell is the road? It's all white snow, can't even tell what's a road or not.

  "Alright, I've cultivated enough anyway. Let's go up together."

  Gluttony said, transformed into a human form, standing in the midst of the heavy snow with a shiny body.

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Recently everyone is popular with not wearing clothes.

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Are you cold...'"

  Yu Yu said: "There is indeed something."

  Wen Baiyu said: "You'd better change back to how you were just now."

  The gluttonous and strange person said: "Why?"

  Wen Baiyu organized his language a bit and couldn't say that he wanted to be perverted now, so he tactfully said: "Your appearance just now was more majestic... tall..."

  He was very proud of himself and said, "That's natural."

  As he spoke, he suddenly transformed into his gluttonous true form and proudly raised his head.

  The beast crouched on Wen Baiyu's shoulder and said: "Ah... are the brains of ancient ferocious beasts all so simple?"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  The crowd followed the feast and continued to move forward, walking a great distance. Suddenly, in front of them appeared a grove of snow-covered trees, like ice sculptures, with branches covered in snowflakes. The snow trees were divided into two rows, with a narrow path in between.

  Tanuki walked in, everyone followed behind, Wen Baiyu stepped deep and shallow, suddenly "ah" and stood still.

  "What's wrong?" said Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu said: "I seem to have stepped on something."

  He said, squatting down and digging his hands into the snow for a few times.

  What was dug out of the snow pit turned out to be a backpack!

  "Backpack?"

  Moreover, this backpack was very familiar. Although it looked ordinary, Wen Baiyu felt that she had seen an identical one in the short term.

  Wen Baiyu unzipped her backpack and took a look inside. The contents were quite comprehensive, with a shovel, probe rod, flashlight, and other equipment that Wen Baiyu recognized as being for cave exploration.

  These things are quite complete except for no food and water, I don't know if someone fell here, Wen Baiyu reached out to pull it up, after all, there is heavy snow in the mountains, some equipment can be used as a precaution.

  White clothes fluttered as she pulled on them, and suddenly she went "Huh?"

  Yu Wei Yang said: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu pulled with all her might, but couldn't budge it. Yu Xiang said, "Is it too cold? The backpack is stuck to the ground."

  Wen Baiyu pulled again, this time with caution and great force. As a result, the backpack strap was pulled out of the snow, and to her surprise, two arms were also pulled out at the same time!

  Arm!!

  Wen Baiyu almost slipped and fell to the ground with her feet under her.

  "It... is a person!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, stretched out his hand to shovel the snow, and everyone else also squatted beside him to help shovel. The snow was piled up very thickly, and it snowed here all year round. In a short while, it could bury people. Looking at this situation, it must have been several days since the snow stopped.

  A large pit appeared on the ground, and a man emerged. He was wearing a black backpack, a black leather jacket, and military boots. His face was down, and he was lying on the ground with his arms stuck in the straps of the backpack, which had been yanked by Wen Baiyu earlier, causing them to be stiff and unnatural, looking very eerie.

  The man had obviously been dead for a long time, his body frozen in the snow, without any signs of decay, but was frozen into a large ice lump.

  "Wen Baiyu said: "This... this person's clothes look very familiar."

  He said, suddenly his mind jumped and he said: "Shi... Shi Xiang!?"

  Among them, only Wan Qi Jinghou and Tao Tie have met Shi Xun before. Yu Wei Yang has never seen him, but he often inquires about the affairs of the Taoist sect and has heard that Shi Xun is a young and promising figure with great prestige in the northern regions, a rising star who can be said to be pushing forward the waves of the Yangtze River.

  Even if they hadn't met before, they had heard of Shi Yu's name in the past few days. The reason was none other than that the person who took Wen Baiyu away was Shi Yu.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to turn over the person lying in the snow to take a look, wondering if it was really Shi Xu. He found it a bit strange, and if it was indeed Shi Xu, there were several things he couldn't figure out.

  Firstly, how did he get ashore after the boat capsized?

  Secondly, even if the body had washed up on shore, it would have been today or last night's affair. Looking at how deeply the snow has buried everything, even with heavy snowfall, it is impossible for the body to be buried so deeply in just one night.

  Wen Baiyu wanted to pull, but Wan Jingshou suddenly pressed down on his hand and said, "Don't move."

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "The snow is too cold, his skin is stuck to the ground, if you pull it down, I'm afraid you'll be scared."

  He said, Wen Baiyu was so frightened that he loosened his grip.

  Just then, someone suddenly shouted "Wen Baiyu?"

  Wen Baiyu looked up and her heart skipped a beat, then she let out a sigh of relief.

  A man in a black leather jacket, carrying a large package, was running towards them from the snowy ground with varying depths, exactly the one they had discussed for half a day!

  When Shi Xu saw Wen Baiyu also let out a breath, then turned his head and saw Wan Qi Jinghou, who had just run over. With a "thud", he was actually punched by Wan Qi Jinghou into the snowy ground, instantly sinking in a big chunk.

  At that time, Shi Xu couldn't withstand the strength of Wan Yu's fist. He was punched and dazed, his mouth corner split open, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He touched his cheek, which had swollen instantly. Fortunately, his teeth were still intact, and it could be said that Wan Yu had shown mercy.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou looked at him coldly, Shi Xu crawled out of the snowy ground and said: "Sorry, but I really...really had no choice, I just wanted to lure you over. If I told you the truth, with your personality of not interfering in other people's business, you definitely wouldn't help."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou coldly laughed and said: "I won't help now either."

  Wen Baiyu looked at the time and said in a somewhat dispirited tone, his face pale and swollen from being hit: "Forget it... let's just forget it. The snow is so heavy here, we shouldn't linger or we'll be buried."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou squatted down, picked up the things inside the backpack on the ground, and when he turned over the things inside, he suddenly stunned for a moment, but got up again in an instant, put away the things, and said: "Let's go."

  He said, stood up and took a deep look at Shi Yu, Shi Yu suddenly felt a little flustered, and everyone else was bewildered.

  As they walked, they suddenly heard a "rustling" sound, as if something was moving towards them.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou immediately stopped and sniffed his nose, saying: "It's the smell of human flesh."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, before long, they saw two figures moving towards them in the heavy snow.

  Wen Baiyu fixed his eyes on him, and this was what they called 'a narrow road for enemies'!

  It turned out to be that fat and lewd Manager Guan and Doctor Wang who reeked of disinfectant.

  Two people with pale faces, trembling and walking in the snowy ground, they had no equipment on their bodies. When they saw the crowd in front of them, a sly look suddenly appeared on their faces, as if they were eyeing the others' equipment.

  Old Guan spat and said: "Our luck has arrived! Look, they have backpacks on them, there must be food inside, haha, and that little brat surnamed Wen, huh..."

  He said, his eyes fixed on the Xiang beast crouching on Wen Baiyu's shoulder, the upper body of which was like a little boy, while its lower body hung down behind Wen Baiyu, so that Guan Ye couldn't see it.

  "Old Man Guan suddenly became excited and said: 'And there's a young boy, he looks really tender, I just like them when they're young...'"

  He said, suddenly pulling out a gun and pointing it at them, shouting: "Put your hands up, or I'll shoot!"

  Shi Xu walked in front and said: "Master Guan, what are you doing? Aren't we partners?"

  "Ugh, this heavy snow is really something! Heh heh, I'm so hungry I could eat human flesh right now! Put your hands up and put your backpack on the ground, kick it over here or else..."

  He said to this, suddenly opened his eyes wide, then "Ma... Ma!!" a loud cry, only to see Wan Qi Jing Hou suddenly moved, like a ghost, flashed in front of Guan Ye, stretched out his hand and grasped the muzzle of his gun.

  Old Man Wan immediately wanted to pull the trigger, but his fingers wouldn't listen. He let out a loud cry and suddenly felt a chill in his finger, wanting to pull the trigger, his finger suddenly fell to the ground...

  Puff, a crimson splash.

  The beast pounced on Wen Baiyu's shoulder and immediately covered Wen Baiyu's shoulder with his hand, saying: "Close your eyes... the tyrant is coming."

  Wen Baiyu didn't see anything at all, the beast's movements were very agile and extremely fast. He only heard Guan Ye's hoarse shout, followed by the sound of his fat body rolling around in the snow.

  Dr. Wang was right next to him, and he was immediately frightened, his legs went soft, a piece of blood splattered on his face, Dr. Wang looked at Wan Jie Jing Hou like he saw a ghost, Wan Jie Jing Hou's cold eyes looked down at Guan Ye who was rolling around on the ground, holding Guan Ye's gun in his hand.

  But the gun head had already been lightly grasped by Wan Kuang Jing Hou, as if he had grasped an empty can of soda, and it was deformed in an instant.

  "Bang", Wan Kuang Jing Hou threw his spear into the snowy ground and walked back to Wen Bai Yu's side.

  When Wan Jie Jing Hou turned around, Dr. Wang was frightened, but his eyes were fixed on Wan Jie Jing Hou's back, and a nearly abnormal excitement slowly appeared on his face, as if he wanted to dissect Wan Jie Jing Hou to see what kind of wonderful creature he was.

  The beast saw Wan Qi Jing Hou walking over, his face still carrying a fearful coldness, pouting his mouth and saying: "Tyrant..."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou adjusted his breath, restrained his ferocity, then pulled Wen Bai Yu's hand and said: "Let's go."

  The heavy snow was blowing fiercely, and in an instant, the snowy ground only had a faint pink hue left, the severed fingers and blood were all buried, and could no longer be seen.

  Gluttony couldn't help but smack his lips and said: "Even more ruthless than me, I like this temper."

  At that time, Shi Xun patted his horse and his face was still a bit pale. He had some friendship with Wan Jie Jing Hou, all of which were left over from their travels on the road. However, Wan Jie Jing Hou never spoke during battles, he just followed alone at the back.

  At that time, Shi Xu knew that Wan Kuang Jing Hou was extremely formidable. Among the people he partnered with, Wan Kuang Jing Hou was undoubtedly the most formidable. Moreover, he wasn't greedy. Shi Xu had never seen a local tyrant like him before. The others were all in it for the money; Shi Xu was too - he wanted to make a lot of money to treat his sister's illness. But Wan Kuang Jing Hou wasn't like that. If it was a fight that interested him, he wouldn't want any money and would still participate. If it was a fight that didn't interest him, not only would he not go, but even if you wanted to find him, you wouldn't be able to.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou is very mysterious, very calm, and also very violent.

  When Shi Xu saw him in Jinhua, he was shocked. He didn't expect that Wan Kuang Jing Hou had changed so much, and the person who made him change was just a small restaurant owner.

  Shi Xu knew Wan Kui Jing Hou's wrist strength, but only cut off one of Guan Yeye's fingers, which was also considered mercy.

  Dr. Wang saw that they were leaving and was reluctant to part with them, his eyes following Wan Qi Jing Hou as he turned around, then helped up Guan Ye from the ground and wanted to chase after them.

  Guan Ye dare not chase again, Dr. Wang said: "We must follow up, otherwise this heavy snow will seal the sky, and there are only two of us, no equipment, how can we get out, hurry up!"

  Grandpa Pipe was afraid, but he feared death even more, so he had no choice but to be supported and follow along.

  They walked for a long time, and just now they were running away. They didn't realize the road was so long until they finally reached the entrance of the snake cave. Wen Baiyu stretched her neck to look inside and said, "I don't know if the snake is still inside."

  Tao said: "What's there to be afraid of? I'm here, aren't I? Anyway, I've got nothing better to do, so let's have some fun. If the snake comes, I'll scare it away!"

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou swept a glance at Shi Xu and said: "You go take a look."

  Shi Xu laughed and said, "Alas, I'm really unfortunate."

  However, one of them leaned forward and entered the cave, walking deeper inside.

  Wen Baiyu said: "He went in alone, isn't that a bit not good?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said faintly: "Nothing will happen, besides, it's him who should be worried about being overthrown."

  Wen Baiyu nodded after hearing it, and if Wan Qi Jing Hou said it was nothing, then it was definitely nothing.

  The beast crouched on his shoulder, smacking its lips, thinking that Wen Baiyu was too obedient to Wan Kuang Jing Hou, this wasn't good, it was really bad!

  After about ten or twenty minutes, Shigu returned and said: "There's nothing inside, the cave is very deep, and it's warm."

  Tang Ziru led the way, carrying Yu Wei Yang on his back as they walked in. After this ordeal, Yu Wei Yang's body felt cold and chilly again.

  They walked deeper and first found a flat place to sit down and rest. After such a toss, everyone's physical strength was somewhat overdrawn, and if they didn't rest, they would freeze to death or die of exhaustion.

  Tang Zi wrapped his hands around Yu Rong Yang's and asked, "Boss Yu, are you feeling better?"

  Yu Wei Yang reluctantly nodded, and Tang Zi took out something from his backpack for him to eat. Yu Wei Yang said: "You should eat too, you've been carrying me all along."

  Tang Ziyu shook his head, he was a tomb, didn't need to eat or drink, in short, eating was a waste, not eating was just right. Normally, Tangzi disguised himself as a human, so his habits were the same as ordinary people, but at times like this, dry rations should be eaten a little less, of course, they had to be left for Yu Wenyang.

  Gluttony stared at their dry rations, swallowing saliva, craving to no end. Wen Baiyu's eyelids twitched wildly, but it was just a compressed biscuit! This gluttony is really too much, just like a refugee, thinking everything smells good.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't bear to look at Bao Yu's greedy eyes anymore, so she broke off a piece of cookie and handed it to him. Bao Yu quickly gobbled it up in one bite.

  After finishing, he smacked his lips and still felt unsatisfied. When he blended in with the crowd, he was the rich second-generation Long Wugongzi, who ate fragrant food and drank spicy drinks. In the spiritual beasts, however, he was a high-and-mighty ferocious beast standing at the top of the food chain, never having eaten this thing before, feeling very fresh.

  Everyone sat together to eat, Shi Xu looked at the food, like a giant dog, eating happily with his ears drooping. He took out a whole piece from his backpack, unwrapped it and handed it over.

  The glutton was suddenly delighted, because he was the original, his paws were very inconvenient, so he directly stretched out his head and started nibbling on the cookies in Cui's palm, then stuck out his red tongue and licked the cookie crumbs in Cui's palm.

  Shi Xu was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting Jiao Yue to be so gluttonous, and couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to touch Jiao Yue's ear.

  His ears turned red in an instant, and he stared at him, saying: "Don't think that a piece of biscuit can exchange my horn."

  Shi Xu smiled and didn't say anything.

  Everyone had eaten, of course, Guan Ye and Dr. Wang were not allowed to eat. Dr. Wang kept staring at Wan Kuang Jing Hou, then went to stare at the gluttonous beast and the extortionist beast, with sparkling eyes, seemingly both curious and excited.

  Wan Qi Jinghou and Tang Ziyi didn't eat a single bite, they didn't need to, all were saved. What's strange is that Shi Xu also didn't eat, but instead fed his own food to the gluttons.

  At that moment, Shi Xu raised his head and saw Wan Kui Jing Hou looking at him. For some reason, a wave of guilt surged up, and he looked away, sighing softly.

  Everyone rested well, and Yuwen Yang's body gradually recovered. They decided to continue on their way, entering the cave to see what was inside.

  Shi Xu walked in the front, he had been here once before, so naturally he was leading the way. Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu followed behind him. The cave was extremely deep, after all, a transformed snake could hide inside, it was not ordinary deep.

  They kept walking in, it was very dark inside, but gradually warmed up, and even got a bit hot.

  The cave extends downward, sometimes with forks in the road, but these forks quickly lead to dead ends, and only one path leads all the way down.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt that this was not a tomb at all, but a mine shaft.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Let's go again, we've walked all the way to the center of the earth."

  "He said: 'It's almost there, just a little further ahead.'"

  As he spoke, the cave began to open up, and in front of him a huge stone suddenly appeared, blocking his way.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the stone in surprise and said, "Is there no way?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to touch the stone, the stone was very smooth and looked at its texture, it was not an ordinary stone. On the top of the sealed stone, there was a dragon head, and in the mouth of the dragon head, an iron chain protruded.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand and pulled it slightly. The iron chain could be extended and was very smooth, with no signs of rust on its surface.

  Wan Qi Jinghou said: "This is a tomb's sealing stone."

  Wen Bai Yu said in surprise: "Really has a tomb? How can it be opened?"

  Guān Yé and Wāng Doctor were also excitedly looking at that huge stone.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou pulled the chain and said, "In ancient times, it took several horses to pull together to open the sealed stone."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he smiled slyly: "Although we don't have horses or explosives, we do have fierce beasts."

  Wen Baiyu said with a pat on the horse's back, the horse glared at him and said: "What are you doing? You actually want to treat me as an inferior horse?"

  Wen Baiyu took the chain from Wan Qi Jinghou's hand, then quickly wrapped it around, just fitting it onto the horn of the fierce beast. "You're a ferocious creature," he said. "Those horses can't compare to you, I know that, but they don't. You might as well prove it to them. Look, several horses together can barely move this sealed stone, if you alone can move it, wouldn't that prove how formidable you are?"

  Wen Baiyu blinked his eyes and proudly raised his chin, saying: "That's it."

  "......"

  The beast leaned in close to Wen Baiyu's ear and whispered, "I think you're better at spouting nonsense than I am."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  It let out a loud hum, then its claws grasped the ground with force, and the horns on its head pulled hard. Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound, and the massive sealing stone actually moved, although it didn't move much, but it really loosened.

  Everyone was shocked and involuntarily took a step back. The glutton's mouth let out a hoarse roar as he began to exert himself.

  Wen Baiyu whispered: "Don't shout... this is a snowy mountain, what if an avalanche occurs and the entrance gets buried?"

  The gluttons suddenly didn't dare to shout anymore, and could only pull the iron chain with all their might.

  Then a loud rumble was heard, "Rumble, rumble, rumble..." The sealing stone was really pulled out, and the tomb door opened with a small gap, which was not too big, but could be squeezed in.

  Panting heavily, he shook off the iron chain and sat down on the ground with a thud, feeling that he had been played.

  Shi Xu walked over and reached out to touch the horn on his head, which had a slight indentation from being locked in place by the chain.

  Gluttony shook off his hand and said: "Don't... don't touch my horns."

  The prototype of Taotie was too big and couldn't get in, so it suddenly transformed into a human figure. The narrator's eyes moved quickly and she immediately wrapped Taotie in clothes to prevent him from being naked.

  The crowd squeezed in, and Manager Guan's body was too fat, it took half a day of effort to squeeze in.

  They walked into the tomb entrance, but inside it was not a burial site, still a mountain cave, only to find many empty holes in the cave, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

  "Never mind, I know the way, just follow me."

  He said, and led the way into a cave.

  Wen Baiyu followed behind, glanced at him and touched Wang Ju's arm, saying: "I always feel that these caves are like eyes, look, so many."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped his hand and said, "It's all right."

  Wen Baiyu nodded slightly, and the beast let out a low hum, seemingly disapproving of Wen Baiyu's close relationship with Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  The crowd walked in, and Wen Baiyu and Wan Qi Jinghou were walking at the very back. Wen Baiyu suddenly shuddered, then abruptly turned his head.

  "What's wrong?" said Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed Wang Ju's arm and said, "I feel like someone is watching us from behind."

  He said that the beast's fur stood on end, and its short legs kicked his back, saying: "Don't scare people, don't scare people!"

  Wen Baiyu was amused by his appearance and said, "Aren't you quite bold?"

  The beast let out a hum and said: "I am a rabbit. Have you ever seen a rabbit so bold?"

  Wen Baiyu really wanted to pinch his ears when she saw him like this.

  Just then, a green light flashed in the tomb passage behind them.

  Wen Baiyu seemed to have sensed something and suddenly tensed up, immediately turning his head back to look. The beast was almost thrown off by him, saying: "What's wrong again?"

  "Wen Baiyu opened her big eyes and stared at the cave behind her, saying: "Really, really someone! I saw it clearly just now, and its eyes are green, especially bright!"

  As soon as he spoke, Guan Ye and Dr. Wang were frightened out of their wits.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Could it be a grave robber, following us in?"

  Wen Baiyu shook his head, he didn't see clearly, and couldn't even tell if it was a man or woman, only saw a pair of eyes like searchlights, very frightening, and the eyes were green!

  Wen Baiyu grasped Wan Kuang's hand tightly and said: "Could it be Zongzi?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou did not see, shook his head.

  Everyone followed Shi Xun to the front, and Dr. Wang always deliberately fell behind a bit, wanting to observe Wan Qi Jing Hou. The eyes were full of abnormal doctor's feelings, making Wen Bai Yu particularly uncomfortable.

  He knew that Wan Jie was very different from others, but Wan Jie was not a monster. Dr. Wang's eyes seemed to be looking at a rare monster.

  Wen Baiyu pulled at Wan Jinghou's sleeve and said, "Why do we have to let them follow us? They're so annoying."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said lightly: "This is a matter of Shi Xu, let him solve it himself."

  Wen Baiyu listened as if he understood and didn't understand, and had no idea what Wan Kuang Jing Hou meant.

  They hadn't gone far when they heard Old Man Guan let out a loud "Ah!" and exclaim: "A ghost!!"

  Wen Baiyu was startled and took a peek, only to find that there was no ghost, but rather a huge stone statue standing in the middle of the cave, which was a carving of a snake.

  This statue has many characteristics that seem to be a snake god, but it is more abstract because it does not look like the snake gods they have seen before. It's probably a mythical creature created by people.

  The statue of the snake is not very large, about one person high, with a man's face, extremely cold expression, fangs, spitting out a letter, snake body, hands, and open wings on its back, standing upright, with a hook at the end of its tail. Most importantly, its eyes are also emerald green, emitting a faint glow, looking like precious gems.

  The statue's expression is quite ferocious and cold, with a sneer at the corner of its mouth. In the dark cave, it would indeed be frightening at first glance.

  At this moment, Wen Baiyu clearly saw the statue's eyes flicker quickly.

  Wen Baiyu's hands and feet suddenly turned cold, staring at the snake's eyes with a bit of a straight gaze, as if he was about to be sucked in.

  Just as he thought he was going to change, the snake's eyes blinked again.

  "Get down!"

  Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly let out a loud shout, and with one swift motion, he knocked Wen Baiyu to the ground. Tang Zi also hugged Yu Wangyang and rolled to the ground. The reaction of the glutton was slow by a fraction of a second, and he was pressed to the ground by Shi Xu. He only felt that something on his head flew out with a "whoosh".

  Dr. Wang also fell to the ground, and Guan Ye reacted too slowly, still standing upright, when suddenly an arrow flew over his head and pierced directly into Guan Ye's throat.

  Grandpa stared with his eyes wide open, still unaware of what had happened, and a strange sound "hng" came from his throat, followed by a loud thud as he fell to the ground.

  Just as Guan Ye fell to the ground, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the cave, and Wen Baiyu felt that the ground under her feet had suddenly collapsed, and she was uncontrollably falling down.

  Wen Baiyu was held in the arms of Wan Kuang Jing Hou, covering his head, and while falling, he was still scolding, "What kind of crappy road is this!"

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, and suddenly his mind flashed, as if he had thought of something.

  At that time, Shi Xue said that he had walked through this tomb once. The things unearthed from the tomb were so many that one person couldn't move them away, so they found partners to help. When they entered the cave, they found that the stone was sealed tightly. Shi Xue alone had no way to open the seal and push it back, so how did he enter this cave?
