Pan Zi and Fatty were lagging behind, whispering, "Don't tell Tian Zhen! If he finds out about this, he will eat us both, right?"

"Don't worry, Hei Ye is also going to San Ye's destination. It's right to follow Hei Ye." Pan Zi knew that Wu Sansheng had paid Hei Xia Zi to go to the fields with him, but he didn't know how they met up.

The fat man was still a little hesitant, "So are we going to lie to Tian Zhen like this? I've already lied before, and if he catches me again, he'll really skin me alive."

PanZhi repeatedly assured us that there was no problem.

Wu Xie would look back from time to time and see Pan Zi and Fatty whispering to each other. He couldn't help but feel curious, but he didn't ask much, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

Wu Xie and the others, led by Hei Xia Zi, came to a dilapidated temple. Hei Xia Zi stopped and said, "Let's rest here tonight."

After saying this, Hei Xia Zi ignored Wu Xie and the other three and walked in on his own.

Wu Xie, Fatty, and Pan Zi looked at each other and decided to trust Hei Xia Zi. They followed him in and came to a relatively intact stone chamber on the second floor.

The fat man was preparing dinner, and Wu Xie suddenly felt the urge to go to the bathroom. He held his stomach and squeezed his legs together, jogging out of the stone room. Wu Xie couldn't hold it any longer, so he just found a random direction and walked in.

After Wu Xie had satisfied his physiological needs, the fat man promptly handed him a bowl of meat porridge.

"Eat quickly, and then take a rest. We are on the first shift today." The fat man ate while talking to Wu Xie about their next shift.

Wu Xie nodded in agreement, took the bowl handed to him by the fat man, and started eating.

When Wu Xie was halfway through his meal, he discovered that something seemed amiss with the wall of their stone chamber. He stood up with his bowl in hand and walked to the wall, observing it while he ate.

"What's wrong? Isn't this just an ordinary stone wall? Tian Zhen, eat quickly or it will get cold." The fat man watched Wu Xie searching in front of the wall for a long time and didn't even eat.

Wu Xie frowned, feeling that something was wrong. He stared at the wall in front of him and muttered to himself, "I always feel that there should be something on this wall, but I can't see it now."

Black Blind Man at the side also came forward, stretched out his hand to feel the wall, and then said affirmatively: "There should be something carved on the wall with a knife, but we don't have paint now, so we can't see clearly what was carved on the wall."

Wu Xie suddenly had an idea. He quickly pulled out a piece of burnt charcoal from the blazing fire and smeared it on the wall without hesitation.

As he continued to paint, the pattern originally hidden in the darkness gradually emerged.

When the charcoal in their hands ran out, they finally saw clearly what was carved on the wall. It was a group of pheasant necks they encountered last night, which were tightly attached to another double-scaled python.

The fat man widened his eyes, pointed at the picture on the wall in surprise and said, "Isn't this the snake we encountered yesterday? Ning died in their mouths! And, isn't that the big snake the one that surrounded us last night?"

Wu Xie, Pan Zi, Fatty and Hei Xia Zi all looked at the patterns on the wall carefully, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

"Are these snakes mating?" Hei Xia Zi made a bold guess based on this pattern.

"The picture is not finished yet. Let's continue to use charcoal to evenly paint it, so that we can know what these pheasant necks and this double-scaled python are doing." Wu Xie, as if he had received affirmation, excitedly pulled out more charcoal from the fire and smeared it on the wall.

After hearing this, Fatty, Panzi, and Black Blind also joined in the charcoal application. As the area covered by the charcoal increased, the pattern on the wall became clearer and clearer.

What appeared in front of Wu Xie, Fatty, Pan Zi and Hei Xiazi was a shocking picture. The picture showed a double-scaled python wrapped around a huge monster with the help of a pheasant's neck. This giant snake was several times thicker than the double-scaled python they had seen before, and it was simply a terrifying existence.

The existence of this snake mother made Wu Xie, Fatty and Pan Zi stunned and filled with fear. Only Hei Xia Zi stood in the dark wearing sunglasses, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

"Oh my god! Naive. Did you see that? Such a big snake? It's big enough to swallow all four of us." The fat man pointed at the mother snake on the wall with a trembling hand and stuttered. His voice was full of fear, as if he had seen himself being swallowed by the snake.

"Don't make a fuss. Maybe the snake mother doesn't exist anymore. The Queen Mother of the West has been destroyed for many years. Without a food source, even the most hardy snake can't survive." Although Wu Xie was also scared, he tried to stay calm and tried to comfort the fat man. However, he could hardly hide the worry deep in his heart.

Pan Zi said nothing, quietly looking at the snake mother on the mural, with a complicated expression on his face. He seemed to be thinking about something, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. Hei Xia Zi remained silent, just silently observing everything around him.

After thinking it over again and again, Pan Zi decided to tell Wu Xie the truth, "Master San, I was wrong before. I hid something from you."

The fat man looked at Pan Zi in panic, winking as if to say, "Didn't we agree not to tell Tian Zhen? Are you going to backstab your brother like this?"

"Pan Zi. You mean the 'last words' that Third Uncle left in front of that stone slab!" Wu Xie seemed to have guessed what Pan Zi was going to say.

When Pan Zi and Fatty heard Wu Xie so calmly tell them what they had been hiding, they opened their mouths, not knowing how to explain.

"Uncle San is a lucky man. He always scares me like this before he goes out for adventure. But he always comes back safely. So this time will be no exception. Besides, aren't we looking for him now?" Wu Xie recounted the last words that Wu Sansheng had said to him when he was a child. But in the end, he always came back home safe and sound, and brought him local specialties from various places.

"Ah! Yes! Tian Zhen, our Third Uncle must be safe and sound, or he is hiding in some corner now, laughing at you for not finding him." The fat man reacted first and spoke out to comfort Wu Xie.

Pan Zi looked at Wu Xie in silence, his eyes revealing guilt. He would rather his Third Master lost his temper and said harsh words than to calmly accept his Third Master's deception of him.

"Pan Zi, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm fine now, really. I've been through so much before, and I haven't made any progress yet. If I continue to say whatever I want like before, then I will have really wasted my Third Uncle's cultivation of me." Wu Xie walked over and hugged Pan Zi, comforting the guilty Pan Zi.

"Okay. It's very late. You guys should go to bed. Fatty and I will keep watch. You can rest assured." After saying that, he pulled Fatty to sit next to the fire and added firewood to the fire that had just been drained of a lot of charcoal.

While the fat man was being pulled, he turned back to look at Pan Zi. Both of them were a little worried about Wu Xie's condition.

Hei Xia Zi, who was standing on the periphery, saw the most clearly. Wu Xie had really changed a lot now. He was like a completely different person from the first time he went into the tomb.
