Chapter 36: Trouble

Exquisite decoration and luxurious goods in the deluxe villa amazed Yang Xuan and his companions, and they finally rested in the bright and spacious living room.
Ling Chengfeng used the villa's phone to dial a number and soon received information about Ye Renxiong.
"The news I received is that someone saw your father being captured by a very long big snake and taken to a mountain cave outside the city of Z."
"Huh?"
Ye Bingbing stood up suddenly and asked in surprise: "A very long big snake? Is it the one we saw?"
"I can't believe it."
Yang Xuan looked at the white dog and asked, "Did that long serpent travel thousands of miles from Lingyun Peak to Y City just to capture Ice's father?"
"It's probably just a coincidence."
The white dog shook its head and said: "Its tail was cut off by the wind, and it needs treatment. It may have met Brother Ye halfway and found that Brother Ye is a martial artist with strong spirit, so it captured Brother Ye to heal itself."
Yang Xuan couldn't help asking, "What will it do?"
The white dog was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Bingbing and said, "It can extract human essence to heal itself, we need to hurry or Ye can be in danger."
Ye Bingbing turned pale when she heard this.
Meanwhile, deep in the mountains outside of y city, in a cavern.
The dark cave emitted a faint glow, and deep within it, the snake with its tail cut off by Ling Chengfeng was coiled up inside.
Its massive body filled the entire cave, and the missing Ye Renxiong was in front of it.
Ye Renxiong looked dejected and gazed up at the massive snake's huge eyes, feeling powerless – how could he possibly be a match for such a powerful monster?
"Ssss~ Ssss~"
长蛇吐着蛇信子，长长的蛇信子前端分叉，从它口中延伸出来，卷向叶仁雄。
Ye Renxiong attempted to resist, but it was meaningless.
"Am I going to be eaten?"
Ye Renxiong was rolled up by a snake letter, feeling unwilling, he thought of Ye Bingbing.
However, the long snake clearly had no intention of eating it. Suddenly, a series of bright blue electric arcs jumped on the snake letter. Before Ye Renxiong could react, he felt his whole body numb and lost consciousness.
Next, he felt his spirit slowly draining away and he began to feel weaker, wanting to sleep.
He couldn't sleep!
With a sudden start, Ye Renxiong forced himself to stay awake, afraid he wouldn't wake up if he slept.

The centipede was slowly absorbing Ye Renxiong's essence, bit by bit. At the site of its broken tail, fresh red flesh tentacles were rapidly growing.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xuan and his group finally arrived at the cave. By then, it was already dark outside.

"I can sense the scent, it's the cave in front of us. The snake is hiding inside."
White dog and his group suddenly stopped at the entrance of the cave.
"Why did we stop?"
His footsteps stopped as he followed Yang Xuan, and he looked at the white dog with confusion.
"We can't just rush in."
The white dog shook its head and explained, "This cave is not favorable to us. The giant snake is the ruler in the cave. If we fight, we won't have anywhere to hide and it's not its match."
“还有，我虽然能嗅到它的气息，但这溶洞错综复杂，我很难找出正确的通道，万一被它在暗中偷袭了，我们一进去就要全军覆没。”
"Hmm, I also thought of this."
Ling Chengfeng walked over at this time, took off the backpack from his back, and took out a bunch of sophisticated instruments and several spider-like robots from it.
"These are four exploration robots. I'll put them in first and see what's inside."
As Ling Chengfeng spoke, he activated the robots and put them into the cave, controlling them to explore deeper inside.
White dog exclaimed: "Good stuff."
"Can't we search while moving forward?"
At this moment, Ye Bingbing walked forward with a worried expression, because it had been a long time since Ye Renxiong was taken away.
But White Dog had already told her that the longer they waited, the more dangerous Yè Rénxióng would become.
“No.”
White Dog turned back and said, "Don't worry. Yè-ge is a martial artist with a spiritual power many times stronger than an ordinary person's. He won't be easily defeated."
"But..."
Yè Bīngbīng became anxious.
Yáng Xuán reached out and patted Yè Bīngbīng's shoulder, saying, "Don't worry, Uncle Yè is still very strong and will be fine."
Yè Bīngbīng lowered her head and remained silent.
"Alright, just wait."
Ling Chengfeng tinkered with the equipment and looked at Yang Xuan and the others, saying, "It may take some time. I brought a tent with me, so I'll go set it up. Let's rest here for a while and restore our energy."
"Okay, I'll help you."
Yang Xuan took the initiative to step forward and followed Ling Chengfeng to set up the tent.
"You guys are really motherly."
Lu Xiaoqi walked swayingly to the entrance of the cave, pointed to the entrance and said, "Let me say, grandma, I'll ride the wind and fire wheel in and fly around, and I'll lure the long snake out in minutes. It's not that complicated."
"Oh?"
White dog looked at her and said, "Well, then go. But if you get eaten by the long snake, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."
"...Never mind, that snake has bad breath."
Luo Xiaoqi shivered and turned silently.
After Yang Xuan set up the tent, the exploration robot still hadn't discovered the snake's presence in the cave.
"This cave is much deeper than I imagined."
Ling Chengfeng's face looks serious. He didn't expect to wait for so long without any result.
The white dog nodded and said, "Let's continue to wait. The more complicated the cave system, the more disadvantageous it is for us. Before we go down, we must understand the terrain clearly, otherwise, we will be in great danger."
说着，又回过头看着杨玄和叶冰冰几人：“你们去休息吧，养精蓄锐，待会有消息了就喊你们。”
"Okay."
So Yang Xuan, Ye Bingbing, and Lu Xiaoqi each found a tent and went in to rest.
"You should also rest."
The white dog looked at Ling Chengfeng and said, "If we really start fighting, you'll be the main force. I'll be in charge of watching here."
"Alright."
Ling Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, nodded, and went to rest, thinking about the upcoming battle.
So, everyone went back to rest, leaving only the white dog outside staring at the display screen, focusing on the footage transmitted by the four exploration robots.
The inside of the cave was dimly lit, with complex terrain. The white dog stared intently, afraid to lose focus.
"Yes?"
Suddenly, the white dog raised its head and looked towards the entrance of the cave, feeling like there was someone there just now.
"Beep beep beep!"
At that moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from the screen. The white dog quickly looked down and found that one of the exploration robots had fallen into an underground river and was washed away by the water.
No trouble at all.
White Dog muttered a sentence and continued to stare fixedly at the screen.
