"What is that!"
From Yun Jiutang's perspective, he couldn't see clearly what was going on underwater.
I just felt that the thing was quite long and big, like a snake.
Mu Canglin didn't say much. He stretched out his hand and the thing flew towards them.
Yun Jiutang was startled and quickly got out of the way. Only then did he realize that it was really a snake.
And, it’s a python!
The python is about two meters long and its body is as thick as a bowl of the ocean.
Because it was too long, only half of the body reached the shore, and the remaining half was probably even longer!
"Why is there a python in the lake!" Yun Jiutang suddenly felt horrified.
This is an ornamental lake!
There were many palace people coming and going on weekdays, and from time to time concubines and princesses would come to the lake to enjoy the scenery.
Who would have thought that there was such a huge thing hidden beside them!
It is no exaggeration to say that this thing can be eaten in one bite.
"Look at its belly." Bai Liran pointed, and they noticed that the python's belly was extremely bulging.
However, half of its body was submerged in the water, so it couldn't be seen clearly.
Mu Canglin immediately pulled it up, then took out the dagger and slashed it hard.
Along with a strong fishy smell, the contents of the python's belly surged out.
"vomit--"
Before he could see the pile of filth, Yun Jiutang couldn't help but vomited.
What a terrible smell!
Seeing her pale face, Mu Canglin was about to step forward, but saw the blood on his own hand.
"Are you okay?" Bai Liran walked over and gave her an injection to block her sense of smell, "If you can't smell it, don't smell it! Ugh—"
He almost couldn't help but vomit it out, so he just had some for himself.
Only Mu Canglin, who was closest to the snake, looked a little ugly, but he could still bear it.
"Do you want to come?" Bai Liran asked.
Mu Canglin shook his head, took the dagger and dug into the pile of filth.
The smell was really unpleasant, but he still endured it, and then, from its belly, he took out a skull stained with yellow-black mucus.
"Ugh—" The visual impact was too strong, and Bai Liran and Yun Jiutang vomited together.
After a while, the two of them came to his side again with pale faces.
"This python eats people!" Yun Jiutang said, "There is someone missing in the palace, and no one noticed?"
The people inside have long been changed beyond recognition, and their original appearance cannot be distinguished at all.
In this pile of filth, there was not even anything identifying him.
"I'm afraid it only ate one person." Mu Canlin looked at the lake with a solemn expression, "I have to go in and take a look."
"Stop it!" Bai Liran quickly stopped him, "This may not be the only python here. If you go down rashly, wouldn't you be giving them food?"
"There has never been a case of palace residents disappearing for no reason in the past. This snake probably came recently!" Mu Canglin said.
"Could it be related to the emperor?" Yun Jiutang asked.
Hearing this, Mu Canglin looked in the direction of Yangxin Hall.
He wasn't sure, but if he didn't understand this matter, he would feel uneasy!
"Wait a minute, I'll investigate first." Bai Liran said, concentrating on summoning.
The golden silkworm Gu in his body can summon all snakes and insects.
However, a while passed and there was no movement at all by the lake.
A ray of breeze blew by, and Yun Jiutang's toes dug into the ground awkwardly.
Just when he was about to dig out a three-bedroom apartment, Bai Liran sat down on the ground without any strength.
"No, there doesn't seem to be any living things in here!"
Bai Liran said solemnly, "Maybe I can't sense it. This feeling of limited power is too similar to Kong Wushan."
"There is a formation under the palace." Yun Jiutang said suddenly.
"What?"
Yun Jiutang said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the secret passage we walked through before? It was winding and twisted, and it looked like a maze! Could it be that it was originally a formation designed underground!"
Zhao Xianchen once reminded them that there was an abnormality under the palace and they should not move the capital easily.
"We have to find a way to figure out what kind of formation this is!" Bai Liran said, "But before that, I have a good idea!"
"What?"
Bai Liran suddenly raised his voice and screamed miserably.
Her shout quickly attracted a large number of guards.
When the guards arrived, they saw the disemboweled python on the ground.
"Princess, be careful! Protect the princess!" The group of people hurriedly rushed towards Bai Liran.
Bai Liran still wanted to pretend to be a princess who was frightened and fainted. When he tilted his head and was about to fall towards Yun Jiutang, he suddenly turned around and leaned firmly into Mu Canglin's arms. .
Both of them are now dressed as women, and Mu Canglin even looks petite.
But he still easily lifted Mu Anli up and said in a deep voice: "Princess Huaiyu was frightened by the giant python in the lake and fainted! Please report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision!"
"yes!"
Everyone was unconsciously frightened by his momentum, and they couldn't help but respond.
This kind of giant python is really terrifying, even their scalps feel numb when they see it.
"This thing is ferocious. Be careful and don't set foot in this water area easily." After Mu Canlin finished explaining, he took Bai Liran and Yun Jiutang and hurried to Fanghua Palace.
As soon as he entered, Bai Liran woke up.
"Next, it depends on how the emperor handles it!"
Such a vicious creature can eat people, so it is natural to handle it with caution to avoid causing panic.
On that day, the news spread to every corner of the palace.
Everyone was so scared that they avoided the lake.
However, even so, no one came to confront those who were swallowed by the python with the missing people in the palace.
Everyone in the palace is specially registered, and the control over these palace people has always been very strict.
There was no way there would be no movement in the palace after losing someone.
Mu Canglin secretly sent people to check, but no missing persons were found!
So, where did the bones in the python's belly come from?
Just when everyone thought that the emperor would ask people to drain the lake and thoroughly check whether there were any dangerous things inside, the emperor directly ordered the people to seal the lake and no one was allowed to get close to it.
The lakeshore has sent special personnel to patrol to prevent anyone from being harmed by any dangerous things that may be inside.
His behavior confirmed their suspicions.
They must go in and take a closer look!
Originally, Mu Canglin planned to go in personally, but Yun Jiutang and Bai Liran were worried.
Bai Liran went in, and the other two people didn't feel at ease.
Eventually, the three of them entered the lake together.
The lake is deep, but fortunately the light is not bad.
They chose to enter the water during the day to explore, but when they entered, they were shocked by the sight in front of them.
Here is actually...
