Chapter 2253 Entering the Cave
Zhang Xuezhou had been to the gathering place of ferocious beasts twice along a fixed route. Whenever he had been to a place, he could find the corresponding location even if he flew with his eyes closed.

Flying back and forth in the night, Zhang Xuezhou has already stepped into a dark area.

When he looked down, it was pitch black, but Zhang Xuezhou knew very well that below him was the huge stone forest where the snake cave was located, and a few hundred meters away was where the ferocious beasts were lurking.

In such a dangerous night attack, Zhang Xuezhou would obviously rather arrive early than late.

When he arrived at this area, Chang Kongluo and others were most likely just approaching and had not engaged in a fierce battle with the ferocious beast.

"It seems to have a bit of a fishy smell!"

The night wind was cold, with a slight fishy smell.

Zhang Xuezhou frowned slightly.

This feeling of normal air mixed with a hint of bad smell was very bad, and it easily made him think of the Empress Dowager.

Interacting with the Empress Dowager was not a very pleasant thing. The Empress Dowager had a hard time in recent years, and Zhang Xuezhou also suffered a lot.

Even after sending away the Empress Dowager, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his fate was terrible.

Having had this extremely unforgettable memory, he became cautious about similar smells and did not rashly fall down and wait for Ren Yisheng to cooperate in hunting.

"It can spread hundreds of meters into the air. This smell should be very strong down there. A ferocious beast... could it be something from the snake cave?"

If it was just a night attack on the ferocious beast, Ren Yisheng would not be so restrained and would not need to repeatedly emphasize the need for Zhang Xuezhou to provide support.

However, the existence of the snake cave containing the Qin Meng secret stone and the long confrontation with the ferocious beast made Ren Yisheng's mind difficult to calm down.

This may be the norm in this area at night, or perhaps there is something special today that caused the fishy smell to spread.

Not only did Zhang Xuezhou not fall, but he was also lifted higher into the air by the whirlwind and did not stop until he no longer smelled the fishy stench.

"It's a pity that I can't see clearly below!"

It was difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to see the situation below clearly, so he had to stay away from the stone forest area. He also used wind direction and other methods to detect smells and also looked for traces of ferocious beasts.

Compared with direct observation with the naked eye, his method is undoubtedly extremely low-level.

But Zhang Xuezhou accidentally discovered the traces of Chang Kongluo and others.

Compared to his early arrival, Changkongluo and others were much slower than him.

Perhaps because they were close to the area of ​​ferocious beasts, Chang Kongluo and others moved relatively slowly.

Zhang Xuezhou only saw a few spots of light flashing back and forth in the darkness below him, then connecting into a series and moving forward, occasionally deviating in one direction.

Zhang Xuezhou did not dare to approach rashly, for fear that Song Xianzhong would raise his hand and shoot him in the dark.

"You shouldn't be so cautious. It's too slow!"

Saving Zhong Rang is urgent. Zhang Xuezhou feels that Chang Kongluo and others are being too cautious.

He did not dare to get close to the crowd, so he had to find a location that was far away from the snake cave and the gathering point of ferocious beasts, but relatively forward.

But the moment he stepped on the ground, Zhang Xuezhou quickly lifted his foot.

Zhang Xuezhou's body shook as he felt the familiar feeling of being stepped on. He could feel the feedback of attacks from all around him.

He took out a flashlight and turned it on to the lowest gear. The light shone within a few meters around him. Zhang Xuezhou could only see several snakes lying limply on the ground where he stepped on and within his field of vision.

"Could it be that these snakes roam out at night?"

Zhang Xuezhou encountered several snakes at any safe landing point he chose. He felt that there must be a lot of snakes in this area.

This may also correspond to the densely packed snakes in the snake cave swimming out, thus making the snake cave unobstructed and able to accommodate people.

Zhang Xuezhou was not troubled by the sight of these snakes, but rather felt a little surprised. "These snakes wandered out, probably bringing with them the dense stench of the snake den, which is why the stench here is so dense and difficult to dissipate!"

Zhang Xuezhou's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that he had found an opportunity to pass through the snake cave and touch the Qin Meng secret stone.

But he was not impatient and risked rushing into the snake cave. As long as he knew the patterns of the snakes, it would be more convenient to bring all the tools to explore such areas in the future.

"There are snakes everywhere. No wonder the hunting group is moving so slowly. Even if Zhou Rihui leads the way, we're afraid we'll be entangled constantly!"

Seeing another snake approaching, Zhang Xuezhou did not continue to threaten it, but chose to whirlwind and change position to wait for time.

"Roar!"

Stepping on the wind and waves, the area where Zhang Xuezhou was located was the place where snake caves and ferocious beasts originally lurked.

It was not until he heard angry roars in the distance that he realized that the group of tiger-shaped beasts might have moved away.

"Ordinary poisonous snakes can't even bite through the bodies of ferocious beasts. They can only burrow into areas such as the nostrils and mouth to cause erosion. If they encounter ferocious beasts like eight-legged spiders, they dare not approach them at all. How can these poisonous snakes drive away ferocious beasts? Are there a lot of ferocious beasts in the snake cave?"

The tiger's roar brought Zhang Xuezhou's thinking and judgment to a rapid pace.

He glanced at the ferocious beast area and the snake cave several times, then suddenly leaped downwards.

Zhang Xuezhou had no way of checking the possible battle between the tiger-shaped beasts and the snake group, but he didn't think that the Snake Cave could retain its strength when fighting with these tiger-shaped beasts.

After a simple judgment, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the snake cave should be empty at this time, and even if there was a defensive capability, it would not be very strong.

Fierce winds and waves were howling down, and Zhang Xuezhou turned the flashlight to the maximum level, and the familiar snake cave came into view again.

In this area, the ground was littered with snake corpses, some of which were crushed to a bloody mess, turning into pieces of meat paste and the stench of blood, like a snake hell.

Some dead snakes still have nerve reflexes left, and from time to time you can see pieces of broken snake bodies rolling in the blood and mud.

Zhang Xuezhou was entangled in the wind and waves and did not land directly. He shone his flashlight towards the area where the beast was originally located. He saw that the area was densely packed with snake corpses, and Zhong Rang, who was lying on the ground before, had completely disappeared.

"I don't know whether Commissioner Zhong was involved or took advantage of the chaos to escape!"

Zhang Xuezhou looked at the snake cave and jumped closer. After searching several times, he still did not see any trace of Zhong Rang.

After he called out twice and made sure there was no response, Zhang Xuezhou stopped searching and rushed into the snake cave.

A pungent and strong fishy smell came to his nose, and he put on the breathing mask.

Compared to the previously blocked and inaccessible snake cave, this snake cave is much emptier now.

Some small snakes are still lingering in the snake cave, and there are also many snake corpses piled up in the depths of the snake cave, but this area is wide enough for people to pass through.

After adjusting his body several times, Zhang Xuezhou was swept into the snake cave.

Normal flying skills can only fly up and down, or fly in a straight line at a fixed point. It is difficult to fly up and down suddenly, and it is also impossible to quickly adjust the direction while flying, and it is even more difficult to fly close to the ground. Zhang Xuezhou only felt that the magical power of the cloud-flying technique brought many benefits. Although this did not make him very powerful in frontal combat, Zhang Xuezhou's adaptability was indeed first-class.

Even in a complex area like the Snake Cave, he could run on tiptoe and avoid the accumulated filth.

The flashlight's maximum light illuminated the snake cave, which also extended into the distance in this winding passage.

“Here it is!”

The entrance to the snake cave is only as tall as a person, but it becomes much more spacious once you enter. It looks like some kind of natural cave that has been occupied and transformed by snakes.

Zhang Xuezhou flew around in the whirlwind for several times, and felt that the place he was in suddenly became larger, and in an instant it was as spacious as a basketball court.

The area was filled with a large amount of snake feces, with a foul stench and poisonous juice flowing everywhere.

When Zhang Xuezhou raised his head and opened his eyes, he saw the strong light of a flashlight shining past, and faint white lights appeared in several places on the top of the cave.

This is the light of jade, and it also has an aura that Zhang Xuezhou is familiar with.
