In the quiet forest, only the hissing sounds of snakes echoed in the air.

The golden python with small horns didn't hear a word from Zhao Chuyu, and tears welled up in its pupils.

It seemed to have awakened its spirit and sensed the strong vigilance in her eyes. It tilted its head and thought for a while like a human, then stretched out its tongue and made a unique sound towards the small snake lying on the ground.

The group of snakes received orders from the "boss", scattered and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

This dramatic scene made the bodyguards who were on high alert frown.

This is not the world of immortal cultivation, nor is it a world of magic. They have received advanced scientific education and do not believe that snakes can really become spirits.

But how can we explain this scene from a scientific perspective?

The golden python drove away the little snakes one by one, and finally looked at Zhao Chuyu deeply before retreating back to the tomb.

The hissing sound became increasingly distant until it disappeared.

Zhao Chuyu's eyes were filled with confusion, and she didn't understand what the python wanted to express.

But the current situation did not allow her to think too much.

It is now known that there are giant pythons inside that can be fatal to humans. It is still unknown whether the tomb exploration operation can continue.

This is a matter involving life safety, Qi Jinan will never let her take the risk.

She still has Granny Jiang to take care of in this world, and she can't ignore her own safety.

Following Qi Jinan's eye instructions, the bodyguard captain immediately pressed down the round stone on the stone wall and closed the "South Gate" of the opened cave.

Don’t let the giant golden python inside escape and harm humans.

Unable to come up with a solution, the group of ten had to return to the Miao village compound along the same route.

However, this time, they did not go through the psychedelic forest, but chose another mountain road, the pine forest.

The journey back was very peaceful and there were no unexpected incidents.

Zhao Chuyu was still carried back by Qi Jinan. Qi Jinan didn't put her down all the way and carried her directly back to Zizhu Garden.

It was past noon when they returned to the Miao village.

The whole village is very quiet. The local indigenous people are not here, but on the other side of the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, there are only military soldiers and related personnel who come here to explore the tomb.

Captain Xu, a close confidant of Qi Jinlong, who was left behind by the Third Master Qi to protect Qi Jinan, was shocked to learn that they had encountered a giant python on this trip, and he immediately came to understand the situation.

The real owner, Master Qi Wu, was having lunch with his girlfriend and could not be seen, so he had to resort to asking the captain of the bodyguards.

The bodyguard captain didn't dare to reveal too much without the boss's permission.

He only gave a rough description of the shape of the snake, which was then scared away by the realgar wine. As for the rest, he said he didn't know much and was not sure, and just dismissed it.

The news that there was a snake in the emperor's tomb quickly spread like wings and reached the ears of the people involved in the tomb exploration.

This matter was also reported to the top management as quickly as possible.

As the sun gradually set, the other two teams returned in a panic.

Compared with Qi Jinan and Zhao Chuyu who came back clean and tidy, their appearance is really indescribable, even worse than the refugees in ancient times.

His face was covered in dust, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were torn by branches and covered in mud and dirt.

The other team, led by Lin Lei, consisted of teachers and students from Nanjing University. Although they looked solemn, their clothes were still clean.

The three colleges returned to the Miao village, had lunch, washed off their fatigue, and then gathered urgently to hold a meeting in the conference room.

Lin Lei, professor of archaeology at Nanjing University, and Ke Wenxin, the military leader of the tomb exploration activity, sat in the first seat.

The rest of the students sat at the bottom.

After counting the number of people, Ke Wenxin found that there was one person missing. He looked solemnly and asked, "There is still one person missing. Which school is he from?"

Bai Lulu, who was still in shock, heard these words, glanced at Professor Lin, who had a stern face, stood up and spoke back.

"It's our classmate Zhao from Nancheng University."

As soon as she came back, she called Chu Chu and was relieved to learn that she was safe.

When Ke Wenxin heard that the person absent was Zhao Chuyu, who was assigned by his superiors to serve as a guide for the fifth master of the Qi family, he nodded, raised his right hand, and gestured for Bai Lulu to sit down.

I don’t know what the two female doctoral students from Peking University and Anhui University have encountered, and their faces are still pale.

The body sitting on the chair was also shaking.

Lin Lei noticed their abnormality and looked at them through his gold-rimmed glasses. "What did you see?"

As soon as they came back, the expressions of the two teams were as if they had seen a ghost, and their bodies were shaking and trembling.

Du Juan, a female doctoral student at Peking University, sat on a chair with her hands clenched tightly together and her eyes filled with fear.

"Professor Lin, we at Jingda are responsible for the western route."

"Cross the mountain road, walk to the stone wall, find the switch, open the big stone in the cave, and successfully enter the tomb that leads directly underground."

"But as soon as I entered the stone door underground, I saw..."

Du Juan swallowed several times in fear when she got to this point, clenched her hands, and continued to speak despite her fear:

"I saw a huge black python coiled inside. Its head was bigger than the door of our conference room."

"When it saw us intruding into its territory, it roared at us angrily. Because the hole was too small, it couldn't get out, so we escaped."

However, I was also scared to death when I was chased and bitten by countless small snakes.

If they had not been well prepared and had not sprinkled realgar wine along the way while fleeing, they would probably have been wiped out.

This was the first time they were "driven" out before they officially entered the tomb.

Their purpose is to explore unknown ancient civilizations, not to die.

Other male doctoral students are more resilient than female doctoral students. Anhui University doctoral student Guan Xuanchen continued the topic.

"A two-headed snake appeared on the northern route that An Da is responsible for. It was half black and half golden, and it seemed to have intelligence. When we entered, it was catching other small snakes to eat. When it saw us, it gave us a warning look."

The bloody scenes of cannibalism made them unable to eat lunch.

When Lin Lei and Ke Wenxin heard giant pythons appear in the west and north, as well as in the south where Zhao Chuyu was responsible, they looked at each other.

In this case, the tomb must have developed into a thousand-year-old snake den.

There are countless snakes, including three known giant pythons, so this tomb exploration is dangerous.

This operation is likely to be shelved.

They would never put anyone in danger.

Lin Lei looked at every student below him and spoke gently.

"Nanjing University was responsible for the eastern route and did not encounter any snakes. The eastern entrance was like a maze. The deeper you go, the easier it is to get lost. We used a compass to find the way out."

They encountered the so-called ghost wall today.

In order to avoid unpredictable dangers at night, he decided to retreat immediately.

He couldn't take risks with his students' lives.

The four teams encountered different situations, so the tomb exploration had to be suspended.

The follow-up needs to be decided after consultation with superiors.

After the meeting, Bai Lulu went straight to the Purple Bamboo Garden in the Miao village.

As expected, he was stopped by black-clad bodyguards as soon as he arrived at the gate.

"Miss, please stay. Non-staff members are not allowed to enter."

This was not the first time that Bai Lulu had seen the bodyguard's coldness and ruthlessness.

She took out her cell phone and called her little sister, "Chu Chu, someone stopped me at the door and wouldn't let me in."

Don't accuse her of looking down on others. This is all their own fault.

Zhao Chuyu, who was on the other end of the phone, had just woken up from a nap. When she heard Lulu's words, she reflexively looked at Qi Jinan, who was still resting with his eyes closed, and said in a low voice:

"Lulu, wait for me for a moment, I'll go out to find you."
