You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran did not respond.

Based on the current clues, he still cannot determine what exactly bit the person to death.

He then examined the other two bodies.

These two corpses are in the same condition as the one we just saw.

There were four bloody holes in his neck.

Qin Ran concluded from this that this beast had four fangs.

Two on the top and two on the bottom.

And they are all very long.

Ordinary wild animals would never have fangs that long.

Qin Ran continued to survey the surrounding area.

Let's see if there are any new leads.

He soon noticed something was wrong.

The three bodies were in different locations.

Although they are in different locations, they have one thing in common.

The grass nearby showed signs of being trampled.

It is a long line.

This indicates that the shape of this beast is elongated.

And it's extremely long.

At that moment, Qin Ran had the answer in his heart.

"I know what it is, it's a snake," Qin Ran said to Xu Wei.

"snake?"

"Yes." Qin Ran shone his flashlight into the bushes next to them: "Look, there are marks on the bushes here where something has trampled them, and it's a long line. This means that the shape of this wild animal is elongated, and it can only be a snake."

Xu Wei and the others looked in the direction Qin Ran was pointing.

Just as he described.

The grass was flattened, leaving a long mark.

Xu Wei measured the width with his hand: "Wow, this snake is as thick as a big tree."

Qin Ran nodded: "It is indeed quite large. This is not some primeval forest, so there shouldn't be such a big snake here."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines after hearing this.

If you encountered that, you'd be doomed.

"Mr. Qin, could this giant snake have become a spirit?"

Qin Ran looked thoughtful: "I'm not sure about that, but if it's a typical giant python, after killing a person, it will swallow them whole."

"But the giant snake didn't do that; it just bit the three of them to death."

"Moreover, the three corpses were found in different locations, and the movement of the snake can be determined from the trampled grass."

"He was probably chasing those three people and then biting them to death one by one."

"This suggests that the three of them may have accidentally wandered into the giant serpent's territory. When they realized something was wrong, they tried to run away, but the serpent caught up with them and killed them."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he looked around.

He felt increasingly uneasy.

This is not a primeval forest.

It would be very difficult for a snake that big to survive.

Therefore, the giant snake must have a very special nest.

Qin Ran suspected that the giant snake was most likely a spirit beast.

"Mr. Qin, what should we do now?" Xu Wei asked.

"You should take the body downstairs first, then handle the matter, and make the necessary compensation," Qin Ran said.

"I understand. And what about you?"

"Shall I go find out where the giant snake is?"

Xu Wei and the others gasped in shock.

It's so late.

Qin Ran actually wanted to find out where the giant snake was hiding.

"How about we talk about it tomorrow? It's so late already," Xu Wei said, licking his lips.

"You're scared, but I'm not. You should go down the mountain first."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he took the flashlight and continued walking forward.

He began his search by following the path of the trampled grass.

He wandered around on the mountain.

Suddenly, he saw what looked like a cave behind the dense woods.

He walked through the dense forest and came to a clearing.

The open space is not large, about ten square meters.

The cave was right in front of us.

Qin Ran held up a flashlight and shone it on the entrance to the cave.

He observed carefully.

He soon noticed something was wrong.

This is probably not a cave, but a tomb.

Qin Ran never expected that there was a tomb hidden here.

Therefore, he became even more certain of his previous guess.

The giant snake is a mythical beast.

This is its lair.

The three men broke into its lair, angering it, and thus it killed them.

However, ordinary spirit beasts do not cultivate alone.

Its owner should be inside.

And most of them are already dead.

While meditating, Qin Ran stepped into the tomb.

He held a flashlight and shone it around.

Strange runes were carved on the stone walls of the tomb.

He couldn't understand it and had never seen such runes before.

Qin Ran continued to explore further inside.

He moved slowly and cautiously, keeping a watchful eye on everything around him.

At the same time, she also discovered the situation.

Something was rapidly approaching him.

It was obvious that the giant snake had already spotted him.

The scene from that time began to replay in Qin Ran's mind.

Presumably, the other three were in the same situation as him.

They ventured inside, which startled the giant snake.

The giant snake chased after them.

They turned and ran.

Although it escaped the tomb, it was still bitten to death.

Qin Ran did not back down; he continued walking forward.

Before long, he noticed that the commotion on the other side was becoming more and more obvious.

Here it comes.

Qin Ran shone his flashlight on the road ahead.

In the blink of an eye, a giant object appeared on the ground.

Its body is as thick as a large tree.

And it crawls extremely fast.

A few seconds later, the giant snake was in front of Qin Ran.

It did not rush to attack Qin Ran, but instead raised its head.

Qin Ran kept watching it.

The snake was about three or four meters tall when it raised its head.

Its head was almost touching the top of the tomb.

The snake has a red rooster comb on its head.

It was spitting out apricots, its eyes fixed on Qin Ran.

Qin Ran then realized that it was a crested python.

This was also the first time he had ever seen a crested python.

And it's so big.

At this moment, the crested python was surrounded by true energy.

Qin Ran also felt an extremely strong pressure.

It was obvious that the crested python had realized he was also a cultivator.

So he released his true energy to intimidate them.

It is also a disguised declaration of territorial sovereignty.

"I have undoubtedly offended your territory, but you killed my man, so you should give me an explanation and take me to your master."

These words immediately enraged the crested python.

He opened his enormous mouth and lunged straight at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran saw that it had two sharp fangs on each side of its huge mouth.

The next second, Qin Ran unleashed a powerful punch.

The punch landed on the crested python's head.

But it remained completely still.

His head didn't even tilt.

They continued to approach Qin Ran.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Ran quickly retreated.

This spirit beast's martial arts cultivation is no less than his.

It's very likely that he'll be even above him.

Seeing that Qin Ran wanted to escape, the crested python launched a fierce pursuit.

Qin Ran unleashed his ancient divine power and threw another punch.

The punch struck the giant python's head again.

Its head suddenly tilted to the side.

The next second, his body collapsed with a crash.

Qin Ran leaped up and landed behind it.

The crested python quickly got up, turned around, and continued its attack.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Qin Ran silently recited an incantation and cast a lightning-based spell – Four-Phase Lightning Prison.

Four lightning balls and a lightning chain quickly locked the crested python in place.

A powerful lightning bolt instantly swept over his entire body.

The crested python struggled twice before its body collapsed again with a thud.

It tried to get up, but this time it couldn't.

Qin Ran did not kill him.

These mythical beasts all possess sentience.

He was the one who trespassed into the other party's territory first.

Therefore, there is no need to kill it.

Once the crested python was subdued, Qin Ran waved his hand, and the Four Phases Thunder Prison disappeared.

The crested python lay on the ground, looking at Qin Ran with mournful eyes.

Qin Ran said, "I won't kill you. You attacked first; I never intended to retaliate."

After a moment of rest, the crested python raised its head again.

Compared to before, it has lost much of its strength.

He appeared listless and dispirited.

Qin Ran continued, "I mean no harm, I just want to clarify a few things. I'll ask you a few questions; if it's true, nod; if it's not, shake your head."

The crested python nodded.

Qin Ran asked, "Are you cultivating here with your master?"

The crested python nodded.

Qin Ran then asked, "Is your master already dead?"

The crested python continued to nod.

Qin Ran thought for a moment, then asked one last question: "Could you take me to see your master? I mean no harm, I just want to know who this senior is!"
