The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Unfortunately, the space was too small. It was difficult to even move the snake, let alone make room for it.

The hole next to it had collapsed, and the snake had just struggled out from inside it. I have no idea how it squeezed out.

"Let me try!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd. The speaker was a secret agent from the Imperial Palace.

"Lao Hei, are you sure you have the strength?" Yuan Feng looked at the man who came out. This man was indeed the strongest among them.

But this snake weighs at least several tons. Even if Lao Hei is very strong, he may not be able to move this pile of snake meat.

Lao Hei patted his strong muscles, and a smile appeared on his shiny black face. His row of teeth looked particularly bright in the dim light.

Only then did Yang Xia notice this person. He didn't expect that among his secret spies, there would be someone as evil as Bao Heizi.

"If it's a whole snake, I really can't carry it, but if I cut it into pieces, I can carry it out piece by piece."

He estimated the length of the snake and felt that if he cut it into five pieces, he would be able to carry it out.

The cave just now did not collapse completely, so a whole snake definitely could not get in, but it should be no problem to carry it out section by section.

"Then let me do it. How many pieces should the snake be cut into?" Yuan Feng volunteered, gripping the knife tightly in his hand.

Lao Hei looked at the snake's body, pointed at a few places, and said, "Just cut twice here, and the snake's body will be divided into three parts. Cut off the snake's head at the remaining places, and I think it can be carried out."

Although it was a bit difficult, he had plenty of strength.

Yuan Feng nodded, walked straight to the lower body of the snake, and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."

He gathered his true energy, raised his hand and chopped the snake's body into two pieces in an instant, and then he chopped off the snake's tail.

If the snake was still alive, with its scales tightly connected together, he might not be able to cut it.

But after the snake died, the scales on its body gradually loosened, and when he chopped it with his knife, it went straight through the scales and cut the snake into several pieces.

After Yuan Feng finished chopping, he took a few steps back, panting. He had just recovered from a serious injury, so he shouldn't have used his true energy.

Now that the snake had been chopped into several pieces, he felt extremely weak and could only hold on to the wall to keep himself standing.

"Okay, the rest is up to you." He curled his lips into a smile, slowly squatted on the ground, and began to recover the true energy in his body.

Lao Hei clasped his fists together, then stretched his muscles and bones, and suddenly a series of "crunching" sounds came from his body.

Then he took a deep breath, slowly bent down, grabbed the snake's skin, and lifted it onto his shoulder.

The snake almost buried him completely. He could only see the snake moving slowly, leaving a long trail on the ground.

When he reached the cave entrance, Lao Hei secretly exerted force with his feet, then jumped with all his strength and jumped directly to the cave entrance. He slowly dragged the snake in, making a rustling sound.

After a while, he appeared in everyone's sight again.

His face turned red, probably because he had used too much force just now.

"If you can't do it, don't force it." Yang Xia said on the side.

Lao Hei, however, looked nonchalant and said, "I just used too much force. I'll take it easy next time. I should be able to carry these few pieces without any problem."

Now is the time when all his strength comes in handy.

Besides, the king is still here, he has to perform well, maybe he can get the king's appreciation.

He adjusted the internal energy in his body and lifted out the remaining pieces of snake meat.

When lifting the snake's head, Yang Xia reminded him to be careful, after all, the snake's head was still conscious and not completely dead.

Lao Hei hugged the snake's head tightly from behind, fearing that he would be bitten.

It was going smoothly when he was holding it, but when he moved to the side, put the snake's head in the corner, and prepared to leave, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind.

By the time he reacted, the snake head, which was not yet dead, used its last bit of strength to bite him fiercely.

Lao Hei reacted very quickly, but was still a step too slow, and was scratched on his arm by the snake's teeth. A piece of bloody flesh turned out, and the scene was horrifying.

Yuan Feng wanted to go forward to help, but it was too late.

Fortunately, they brought some medical tools with them. Yuan Feng used a torch to heat up the dagger. Before he started, he felt a little reluctant, thinking that this method was really cruel, but for Lao Hei's health, he had to cut off the blackened meat.

"There is a slight poison on the snake's fangs, but it's not very poisonous. However, you can't save this piece of meat."

This piece of meat is about the size of a palm, neither big nor small.

Lao Hei only felt a piercing pain in his arm, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it. He knew in his heart that he couldn't delay everyone's progress because of his injury.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I slowed everyone down."

"Don't say that. No one wants this to happen. Besides, you've already helped a lot by moving the snake's body to another place by yourself."

Yuan Feng patted him on the shoulder and said that he certainly couldn't be blamed for this.

Yang Xia also comforted him, "You are injured, so just take a good rest. Leave the matter of finding a way out to us."

Hearing this, Lao Hei was both moved and terrified. Serving the king was his duty, and he would never complain even if it meant his death.

But the king cared about him so much, which made him feel warm in his heart. He secretly swore that even if he risked his life, he would never let the king suffer any harm.

Everyone began to carefully search for clues on the ground. Yang Xia stepped on the yellow mud and felt the different depths of the soil.

In order to verify his guess, he asked the people around him to dig up the top layer of soil to see if there was still space underneath.

Yang Xia said, "I feel like there might be a formation hidden beneath the surface. I stepped on it and it felt uneven. Take a closer look to see if there is really another formation."

Yuan Feng picked up the sharp sword in his hand and dug up the soil. Seeing the traces revealed, he was shocked: "It seems to be true. These raised areas look like a formation."

Everyone worked together to clear off the excess dirt, and a huge formation appeared beneath their feet.

No wonder the giant snakes here mutated. Under the long-term influence of this strange formation, they have long become unrecognizable.

Yang Xia stood on a high place, looking down at the formation under his feet, and felt that it was strange and unpredictable. He had read many books about formations before, and had done some research in this area, but he could not understand the formation in front of him at all.

I can't find the center of the formation, and I don't know what the function of this formation is.

This formation didn't seem to cause any direct harm to them, but it trapped them here. They could either return the same way they came, or be trapped in this small space.

Several people looked confused. They were trapped here and couldn't find a way out.

Yuan Feng suggested: "How about we go to another dimension to have a look?"

Luo Xun asked, "Are you talking about the place where the snake eggs are placed?"

Yuan Feng nodded: "Yes, that's it. We didn't dare to look for a way there before because we were afraid that the snake eggs would hatch at any time. But now that the snakes are dead, we have nothing to worry about."

If you can't find a way out here, maybe you can find it there.

Everyone thought what he said made sense, and they all volunteered to go back with him.

Yang Xia felt that there was unlikely to be a way out of that place, but he did not stop them.

A little hope is better than no hope at all.

He stayed there with some people and continued to study the formation under his feet.

Yang Xia touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Others did not dare to disturb him and could only continue looking for a way out nearby.

Yuan Feng and Luo Xun returned to the place where the snake eggs were placed, one after the other.

There was a pungent stench in the air, and they had no place to step. The ground was covered with red slime, and they couldn't see the ground at all.

A day passed, and they still hadn't found a way out. They couldn't see the sun, moon, or stars, and they didn't know how long they had been trapped here.

Yang Xia looked around, but still found no signs of getting out.

A group of people were trapped here. Yang Xia felt that he could not sit and wait for death any longer, so he directly ordered the people around him: "Don't gather in one place, look around, and gather here if you find anything. Don't act on your own."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, then turned around and dispersed.

Yang Xia stayed where he was and stayed there for the entire day.

The people around them gradually began to become restless. They couldn't find a way out and were trapped in this dark place, which made them want to back down.

"My lord, we are making no progress here. We can't find a way out at all."

Yuan Feng was dejected, as if all his energy had been drained away, like a deflated balloon.

Luo Xun was also in a very low mood and said, "We didn't find anything over there. Maybe there was no way out from the beginning."

He didn't want to think of things so badly, but the facts were before him and he couldn't help but think so.

I've been wandering around here for two days and still can't find a way out.

They even checked the way they came carefully. They seemed to have fallen into a huge abyss. The more they struggled, the more confused they became.

In the end, I didn't even know where I was or where I was going.

The road they came from was blocked, they couldn't go back, but they couldn't find a way out.

They are now like people trapped halfway up a mountain. Falling down is a dead end, and hanging in the air is also a dead end. No one can help them, and there is nothing but despair.

Yang Xia saw that the morale of the crowd was low, and he didn't want them to follow him in such a lifeless manner. He stood up slowly and raised his voice to ensure that everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Come on, everyone. Are you planning to give up now?"

When everyone heard his voice, they looked up and hope rekindled in their eyes.

Yang Xia went on to say, "There is always a way out. As long as we study hard, we will definitely find a way out. This place seems to be a trap set up by someone on purpose. As long as it is set up by humans, there must be a way to crack it. Don't be so dejected."

They have only been trapped here for two days, but everyone has lost their spirits. This makes him feel very uncomfortable.

Even if the people he leads are in desperate situations, they will try their best to fight for a glimmer of hope of survival instead of being like a few puddles of mud, at the mercy of fate.

Yang Xia continued to boost their morale, hoping that they could cheer up. After all, they were not at the end of their rope yet. "If you really have given up hope of survival, you can just draw your swords and commit suicide. Don't waste time here. Let me see how many of you are willing to die like this."

There was a hush in the crowd, and everyone couldn't help but blush.

Because what the king said was right, they are still fully healthy and have not yet reached a completely desperate situation, so there is no need to be so dejected.

What they need to do now is to actively work hard to find a way out of here, instead of sighing here and feeling unmotivated to do anything.

Yang Xia walked up to them. They were good at martial arts and had good abilities, but they had suffered a blow in the past two days and could not get out of here, which made them anxious.

"You have to believe that everything depends on human effort. Since there is a mechanism here, there must be a way to break it. Through the past two days of research, I have also discovered the subtlety of this formation."

With his hands behind his back, Yang Xia quietly recounted the truths he had learned in the past two days.

I want to share it with everyone and hope to hear their opinions.

"This exquisite formation may seem strange and could easily lead people to get caught up in it, but it is actually very simple. To sum it up in one sentence, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. The center of this formation is right under my feet."

The place where he stepped on was the center of the formation.

It took him two days to find it. Although it took a lot of effort, at least he found a way out and prevented everyone from being trapped here.

He didn't say it right away because he wanted to test the people in front of him and see how capable they were of responding.

But the result still disappointed him.

In just two days, their attitude has become extremely negative.

Yang Xia said seriously, "I allow you to rest and adjust in the face of difficulties, but I absolutely do not allow you to have a negative attitude. This is the first time I warn you. If you find a similar situation next time, you will be directly expelled from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

His country never needs cowards, let alone timid people.

What's more, the tasks they shoulder are much heavier than those of ordinary people, and they must have the courage and wisdom to keep up so as not to delay national affairs.

After hearing his reprimand, Yuan Feng said with emotion: "Thank you for your teachings, my king. This time it is our fault. We should not be so negative. When facing difficulties, we should face them head-on instead of being cowards."

Luo Xun nodded heavily. He couldn't find a way out these two days, and his mood became more and more irritable. Maybe it was because of this reason that he scolded his subordinates at every turn. But these were brothers who fought side by side with him, and he shouldn't be so unreasonable, so he also deeply realized his mistakes. (End of this chapter)
