I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 609: 【195】Martial Arts Rhythm, South Pacific Anomaly_5

Listening to the whispered conversations of these two people, Wang Longhu couldn't help but feel amused.

Nowadays, people would really do anything for online traffic, even risking their lives.

Wang Longhu was aware that there were no large creatures nearby, so he quietly left the place.

Before leaving, he couldn't resist using his spiritual telekinesis to scare the two, giving a gentle tap on the tin roof.

Instantly, the entire tin roof shook, and the two people hiding inside hurriedly ran out holding firecrackers, but saw nothing.

"Brother Wu, that noise just now didn't sound like the wind."

"Nonsense, go take a look around."

"I'm scared."

...

Quickly searching the mountains, with the coverage of his spiritual telekinesis, Wang Longhu could explore much further and more meticulously than his eyes could see.

The area behind the Long Pit's peak was a massive reservoir.

And around the reservoir were large undeveloped mountains, with a very primitive environment that required even professional wilderness explorers to tread carefully.

No one could guarantee whether there would be venomous snakes or insects in these mountains.

"If there truly is a seven or eight-meter-long snake, its food intake must be astonishingly large, but I've lived in Dong County for so many years without hearing of any beast or human being eaten."

Wang Longhu leapt through the dense forest, observing the mountain below, pondering.

Suddenly, a gap hidden between two large mountains caught Wang Longhu's attention.

This place was so remote and desolate that even locals wouldn't come here.

And relying on drone aerial photography, it would be difficult to spot this hidden nook from a high angle.

Only by looking down from a mountain top like Wang Longhu could one discover it.

The gap resembled a beehive, formed entirely by soil adhering between the two mountains.

More specifically, it was like a soil-colored rugby ball wedged between the two mountains.

And on the surface of this 'rugby ball,' there were three meter-wide round holes, hollow inside.

Realizing this strange structure, Wang Longhu immediately leapt vigorously across the mountain gorge to the 'rugby ball's' location.

"Oh!"

Upon seeing a snake scale mixed in the soil, Wang Longhu's eyes lit up.

It seemed he had indeed found the clue.

This location was very likely the snake's hiding place.

Wang Longhu's spiritual telekinesis directly extended into the soil nest, discovering that there was indeed something unique inside.

At the junction of the soil nest with the mountain, there was actually a tomb hole!

This tomb hole appeared to have been forcibly created by something, with heavy signs of impact along the edges.

Wang Longhu squeezed through one of the round holes, stepping on the soil nest towards the tomb hole.

As he approached, a stench was blown from the depths of the tomb hole, confronting him.

Fearlessly, Wang Longhu stepped inside, convinced that in this world,

nothing should exist that could threaten him now.

This was a tomb chamber, hidden and embedded within the mountain.

It extended deeply, with a stone staircase for descending.

At this moment, the surface of this stone staircase was entirely marked by scales rubbed smooth, indicating the snake was at least a meter wide.

"So there is an even larger snake," Wang Longhu thought, observing the marks.

The island where Dong County was located wasn't an ancient human settlement—a county history of just a few hundred years. It puzzled Wang Longhu why there would be an ancient tomb in the mountains near Dong County's Long Pit.

Moreover, this ancient tomb was quite large, and in terms of area alone, it would have taken thousands of people to construct.

As Wang Longhu descended, he saw many small animal bones along the way, presumably from stray cats and dogs. Long Pit did indeed have many stray animals in years past.

However, in recent years, their numbers gradually decreased.

Wang Longhu had initially thought they were caught and neutered, and without offspring, the number of stray cats and dogs naturally decreased.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

Continuing down the stone staircase, Wang Longhu even discovered two human skeletons, instantly making his gaze stern.

If the serpent harmed humans, it would be unforgivable.

His spiritual telekinesis continued to probe deeper into the ancient tomb, soon discovering the tomb's bottom.

It was a stone chamber of about fifty square meters, with a stone coffin inside, and beside the coffin, a giant snake over ten meters long was coiled.

Its entire body was crimson like vermilion, and its scales resembled jade. If it weren't for the faint heartbeat coming from within, Wang Longhu might have thought it was a jade carving.

"What a large snake," Wang Longhu exclaimed, standing at the stone chamber's entrance, observing the massive snake inside.

As the saying goes, a snake grows into a python, a python grows into a boa constrictor, a boa constrictor grows into a jiao, and a jiao grows into a dragon.

Strictly speaking, the giant snake before him could no longer be called a snake.

It had already surpassed the category of snakes and pythons, reaching the stage of a 'boa constrictor.'

What is a snake? A reptile.

What is a python? A large-sized snake.

What is a boa constrictor? An enormous snake.

And above a boa constrictor, a jiao, is a 'non-dragon' creature from ancient mythology.

Jiao typically inhabit lakes and deep pools and may quietly reside at ponds or riverbed bottoms, far from human settlements.
