“It’s an insect bite!” One of the men with long, shoulder-length hair pointed to the neck of the man who fell to the ground. There were two obvious red dots.

Buzz... There was the sound of insects flying in the air.

“There’s more!” A knife flashed, and a bug fell to the ground.

“This insect?” A man stared at the struggling insect and closely inspected it. “Light the insect repellent smoke.”

A man hurriedly took out a rope-like item from his pocket. When he lit it, there was no flame. There was only a red light, but there was a lot of smoke. It smelled bitter.

“I think we have friends following us,” the man with long hair said as he stared at the cave entrance behind him.

“That can’t be,” another man said. “We have a small gift hidden.”

“Maybe the others are professionals,” the long-haired man said. “We can’t be careless.”

“I’ll go and take a look,” a bald man said.

He had a strange tattoo on his forehead. Looking at it closely, it was a scorpion. From the nape of his neck to the end of his forehead, it covered the middle of his head. It looked rather ferocious.

“Be careful,” the long-haired man said.

“Alright.” The bald man picked up his gun and walked cautiously toward the entrance.

Outside the cave, Miao Qingfeng and Zhao Yinghao were hidden behind a rock watching cave.

“Senior, shall we go in?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“Let’s wait a bit. None of the Seven Day Insects flew back. That’s not right!” Miao Qingfeng frowned a little.

Zhao Yinghao suddenly caught the scent of something in the air. “Do you smell something?”

“Smell?” Miao Qingfeng sniffed carefully. His face quickly changed. “It’s insect repellent smoke!”

“Insect repellent smoke? Does it repel poisonous insects?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“Yes, they are professionals and have come prepared!” Miao Qingfeng sighed.

Not only had the strange men brought weapons, but they also had a special insect repellent drug. It seemed that they had a good understanding of the situation in this area of southern Yunnan. It was likely not their first time there.

“Someone came out,” Zhao Yinghao said.

A bald man with a gun peeked out carefully from the entrance to see if there was anyone outside. After confirming that there was no one, he looked at the grenade they had set up before entering the cave. Seeing that it hadn’t been touched, he carefully moved around it. Something on his body seemed to be smoking. The smoke was blueish green.

“Sure enough, he’s an old hand,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Luckily, I came prepared.”

The bald man suddenly fell to the ground. He stiffly groaned. Something had injured his hand. He looked at the wound on his hand, and his heart skipped a beat. The blood flowing from his hand was dark red. The thing that had pierced his finger was a very small nail.

“How can there be nails here? Be careful, someone...” Before he could finish speaking, he felt like the sky was spinning and fell to the ground.

“The scorpion was ambushed,” the long-haired man in the cave said.

“I’ll go out and have a look,” another companion said.

“No, let’s move on and carry out the task first,” the long-haired man said.

“What if they come in?” the other man asked.

“If they come in, they will die here,” the long-haired man said.

Outside the cave, Miao Qingfeng and Zhao Yinghao were staring at the cave entrance.

“Senior, shall we go in?” Zhao Yinghao asked. He was not sure because the other men had guns.

“Go in? Why not? This is our territory,” Miao Qingfeng replied. “I’ll go first. You follow me.”

“No, I’ll be in front,” Zhao Yinghao said.

“Stop quarreling with me. We’ll have them go in first!” Miao Qingfeng took out the wooden standing pot from his pocket and opened it. Buzz... A large number of insects flew out and rushed into the cave. “OK, problem solved. Let’s go in!”

A moment later, the two men followed the insects into the cave. Soon after entering, they saw the fallen militant.

“There’s one here and one outside, so that leaves two inside,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Let’s move on.”

The two advanced carefully. They released a wave of insects frequently as another wave flew back.

Miao Qingfeng made a gesture to stop. Two paths suddenly appeared in front of them.

“Left or right?” he asked.

Zhao Yinghao didn’t speak. Instead, he sniffed the air.

“Right.”

Buzz... A large number of insects flew in.

“There’s something here. Be careful.” Miao Qingfeng pointed to a place under his feet. There were several small insects on a stone.

“What is it?” Zhao Yinghao bent down and looked at it carefully. “Mines.”

“These people, damn it!” Miao Qingfeng looked inside. His gaze was shining with murderous intent.

They continued to move forward slowly. On the way, they encountered five mines. All the traps had been set up by the other men. Fortunately, Zhao Yinghao and Miao Qingfeng had been careful

There was light twinkling just ahead of them. It looked like the exit of the cave.

“Be careful,” Miao Qingfeng said.

After encountering numerous traps, the more careful they had to be. At the end of the cave, they could see light and trees beyond the exit. After they came out of the cave, they sighed. It was a big valley surrounded by cliffs.

Rat-a-tat... Gunshots sounded in the distance. Boom! They next heard the sound of a grenade exploding

“What’s happening?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“They must have come across something,” Miao Qingfeng said. “We have to be careful.”

The exit of the cave was hanging in mid-air. It was about 30 feet down. Below them was a pool of water.

“Wait, don’t rush down.” Miao Qingfeng squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked at the murky pool of water.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“There’s something in the water.” Miao Qingfeng pointed down.

“What?” Zhao Yinghao was stunned.

Miao Qingfeng didn’t speak. He threw a stone in and saw a black flash.

“Is that a fish?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“No, it’s more like a snake,” Miao Qingfeng replied.

“How can we get over there?” Zhao Yinghao asked. The pool of water was wide. The nearest shore to them was 120 feet away. “How did they get there?”

“Most likely ropes,” Miao Qingfeng said. “There are traces of hard things chiseling on the rocks over there, but they removed the ropes after they went over.”

He thought for a while before taking out a big pill from his pocket.

“What is that?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“It’s an Ecstasy Pill,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Master said that one pill can bring down five elephants. To be honest, I have never tried it before. Let’s try it today.”

He threw the pill into the water beneath them and sat quietly waiting at the mouth of the cave.

Boom! There was another explosion not far away.

“It’s quite lively over there,” Zhao Yinghao said.

Miao Qingfeng looked toward the forest and smiled. “Junior, I wonder what they have encountered.”

“It’s hard to say,” Zhao Yinghao said. “Maybe it’s a viper or insects. Maybe it’s a beast.”

Whoosh! The water under them suddenly reacted. After a while, something floated up. It was a part of a snake’s body. It was black and blue and as thick as a person’s thigh.

“What a thick snake!” Zhao Yinghao exclaimed.

“It’s not exactly a snake,” Miao Qingfeng said. “It’s a python. I didn’t expect there to be such a big python here!”

From the section they could see, they could guess that the python was probably at least 84 feet long.

“Is it safe?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“Almost,” Miao Qingfeng said. “Let’s go into the water.”

The two men took a bottle out of their pockets at the same time. They poured black material out of the bottles and applied it to their bodies.

“I’ll go first,” Miao Qingfeng said.

Before he finished, Zhao Yinghao had already jumped into the water.

“Hey, you didn’t listen to the command!” Miao Qingfeng yelled.

He didn’t rush down. Instead, he quietly watched the pool. Zhao Yinghao swam quickly toward the bank in the water without any incident. Miao Qingfeng jumped into the water and smoothly reached the bank.

“Why didn’t you listen to the command?” Miao Qingfeng asked.

“Senior, you are more experienced than me,” Zhao Yinghao said with a smile. “If I were to have an accident in the water, it would be easy for you to rescue me. If it were you who was in the water, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t be able to handle the emergency.”

“Alright, let’s go,” Miao Qingfeng said.

The two men walked carefully while holding guns.

“Wait, do you know how to shoot?” Miao Qingfeng asked.

“Yes, I learned it in college and have used a gun twice,” Zhao Yinghao said.

“That’s good,” Miao Qingfeng said.

“Senior, do you know how to use it?” Zhao Yinghao asked.

“Of course, I used to be a soldier,” Miao Qingfeng replied.

The two men stopped after a few steps.

“Damn!” Miao Qingfeng was stunned. Zhao Yinghao was also stunned.

There were several dead centipedes on the ground. Centipedes in the mountain were normal, but they weren’t normally so big.
