The three of them walked extra carefully, for fear that the giant snake would suddenly return, so they had to listen carefully to the movement in the cave every few steps, Li Ke and Pei Min were already seriously injured, and if the giant snake came again, it would be difficult to reach at this moment. But fortunately, after the three of them walked for a while, they vaguely saw the light, and they were almost at the entrance of the cave, and they didn't see the giant snake, and the three of them felt a little more relaxed in their hearts.

Pei Min whispered: "I didn't expect Kule Duoti to be a giant snake, the three of us escaped by luck, but it is now out of the hole, if it can't be destroyed in time, I'm afraid it will also be a scourge, but... Fortunately, it is now blind in both eyes, and it is expected that its attack power is not as good as before, and it must find a way to completely eliminate it when it comes out of the hole. ”

Li Sanlang nodded after hearing this, expressing his approval, and by the light, Li Sanlang glanced at Li Ke, only to see that his brows were tightly locked, thoughtful, Li Sanlang then asked: "Now that I know the truth about Kule Duotina, I don't know what scruples Li Duwei has?" Why is the complexion so grim? ”

When Li Ke heard Li Sanlang ask himself, he came back to his senses, shook his head, and whispered: "I'm afraid this matter is not so optimistic, there are still many doubts, we must not be careless." ”

When Li Sanlang heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked repeatedly: "Why?" ”

Li Ke pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "This is not the place to speak, and Li will speak when he leaves the cave." ”

The three of them listened, unconsciously accelerated the degree of progress, but fortunately, there was no movement of the giant snake, and finally arrived at the mouth of the cave, the sunlight outside the cave was a little dazzling, and the three of them failed to fully adapt for a while, at the same time, there was a smell of burnt corpses outside the cave, which seemed to be mixed with some special smells, Li Sanlang and Pei Min were full of doubts after smelling this smell, only Li Ke's face did not change, everything seemed to be within his expectations, as long as he got out of the cave, he could find out the truth, so Li Sanlang did not ask again, It's just a little more hurried; Finally, the three of them walked out of the cave, but the scene in front of them was much beyond Li Sanlang's expectations, and they couldn't help but let out an "ah" in their mouths.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, they saw the big snake that had just rushed out of the hole, and at this moment under the sunlight, they could see clearly, its body was four or five feet long, but it had been scorched all over its body, and it turned out that the smell of the corpse that had just come out of the cave came from it. Li Sanlang and Pei Min looked at each other, confused for a while, the two walked over cautiously, and looked around cautiously, Li Sanlang picked up a branch and stabbed the snake's body, the giant snake had already had no reaction, it had indeed been burned alive, Li Sanlang was very puzzled, turned to Li Ke and asked: "Li Duwei, do you know why?" ”

After a period of adjustment in the cave, Li Ke's vitality has recovered seven or eighty percent, and at this moment he also walked to the corpse of the giant snake, leaned over to observe it carefully, and sniffed it with his nose, so he got up and said slowly: "Back to Li Sicheng, as I expected, Princess Taiping and we have fallen into the trap of Keduo, resulting in the almost death of this beast!" ”

Li Ke's words greatly surprised Li Sanlang and Pei Min, and for a while, the two of them looked shocked, and Li Sanlang hurriedly asked: "Li Duwei, why did you say this?" ”

Li Ke turned to Pei Min and said, "Brother Pei, have you ever used this beast to fight with the two of us?" ”

Pei Min began to recall the fight just now, and finally replied slowly: "Attack with your tail, tighten with your body, and finally want to kill me."

Swallow whole... Speaking of this, Pei Min seemed to react suddenly, and said: "What Brother Li means... ”

Li Ke replied: "Exactly! Kuledotina, which means bone-eating beast! Yuewa's hearing is the same, after its attack, the attacked object has no flesh and blood, only a dry skeleton remains, but this giant snake is by no means such an attack, so this thing should not be the legendary Kuledotina. ”

Pei Min continued: "But the humanoid white bones that the two of us met in the cave just now... ”

Li Ke replied: "He was devoured by the real Kuldotina, and Kedo deliberately left this bone here to confuse us, but we don't know that his plan has revealed that Kuldotina is not this giant serpent." ”

Pei Min suddenly understood, nodded at Li Ke, and Li Ke continued: "Li Sicheng, Brother Pei, have you ever thought about why this giant snake can stay in this gourd cave so peacefully and never leave?" When we entered the cave, we did not see what it was trapped in, and there was no one to guard it, so how could Kedo guarantee that it would remain in the cave until we arrived? ”

When Li Ke asked this, the two could only shake their heads slightly, and Li Sanlang replied: "I never thought about it, this is the reason why Li Duwei frowned just now, right?" ”

Li Ke nodded, pointed to the giant snake and said, "The answer lies in this giant snake." With that, Li Ke squatted down again, looked at the giant snake himself, and confirmed his inference again; He continued: "In addition to the smell of burnt corpses, I also smelled another smell - white phosphorus. ”

"White phosphorus?" Li Sanlang had never heard of this before, so he could only repeat it quietly.

Li Ke explained: "This thing originates from the Western Regions, it is an alchemist who inadvertently appeared, this thing can also burn at very low temperatures, especially when it sees sunlight, it will quickly combust, and can only be stored in cold water on weekdays. As I expected, Kedo must have been coated with this substance on the serpent, and if the serpent was a certain distance away from the waterhole in the cave, it would be so hot that it would have to return to the water to trap the serpent. ”

Li Sanlang finally understood the mystery and said: "No wonder the giant snake was burned here, it must be that its eyes were blind, and its body began to feel burning, and he wanted to return to the waterhole, but he went in the wrong direction in a hurry, and instead rushed out of the cave and exposed himself to the sun." ”

Li Ke nodded and replied, "I guess that's the case." ”

After solving the puzzle of the giant snake being burned, Li Sanlang continued to ask: "Li Duwei, why did you just say that Aunt Taiping and us both fell into the trap of Keduo, is it possible that Aunt Taiping did it on purpose?" ”

Li Ke shook his head and said, "She doesn't have this ability, let alone this motive!" ”

Li Sanlang continued to ask: "How do you say this? ”

Li Ke replied: "This giant snake is definitely not a thing of Middle-earth, I have never heard of it before, and it is expected that it must have been found from outside the territory and transported here, so Li believes that even if Princess Taiping has the intention to cause harm, there is no way to find this thing and use it to deal with us." ”

Li Sanlang nodded lightly after hearing this, and said: "Li Duwei's words are reasonable, Aunt Taiping really has no way to find this thing, but is it possible that she is not an accomplice?" I have been to this gourd cave when I was young, but Keduo doesn't know it. ”

Li Ke continued:

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"This is exactly the genius of Kedo, just ask Keduo's ability, why is it difficult to find a cave to store this giant snake? Why did he need the help of others, he must have deliberately asked Princess Taiping where he could place Kule Dottina, so that not only could he pass on this news to us through Princess Taiping's mouth, but he could also take the opportunity to test whether Princess Taiping was really complicit with her. ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang couldn't help but blurt out: "Conspiracy? ”

Li Ke nodded and replied: "This matter has to start with the words of the stone statue, why the content of the stone statue does not point to others, but it is Princess Taiping, according to what Li saw, the two must have had the intention of conspiring before." Even if he succeeds, he can't directly obtain any benefits, he can only hope that someone will win the throne, and then seek his own interests through him, Princess Taiping's ambition and identity just meet this condition, so the two hit it off, each took what he needed, and only then did he have today's thing. ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, it turned out that Princess Taiping had already come to this point, but after thinking about it, there was still something unreasonable about this matter, so he asked: "If it is really as Li Duwei said, then why did Aunt Taiping want to mutiny in advance?" ”

Li Ke replied: "This matter is very simple, just like a group of thieves who divide the spoils unevenly, and there is a dispute in the middle, Princess Taiping plans to start the incident in advance." Who would have thought that not only the mutiny failed, the buried stone statue broke the ground, Xue Liang and Qi Le pointed out the Taiping Mutiny last night, and the Taiping was beaten into the land of no return by his own accomplices in an instant, the only way to do this is to help us make meritorious contributions, so as to maneuver one or two, this is the motive I Shicai said, she should really want to help us, but I didn't expect to be tricked by Keduo, if we didn't figure it out in time, then today's giant snake matter will undoubtedly make Li Sicheng and Princess Taiping more suspicious. ”

After hearing this, Li Sanlang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Keduo, this thief, is indeed vicious!" If I catch it, I will break it to pieces. Li Sanlang continued to look at Li Ke and said, "According to what Li Duwei said, since Aunt Taiping conspired with Keduo, then she should know who Keduo is, and we should set off as soon as possible to return to our senses and ask him." ”

Li Ke replied: "I'm afraid this matter will disappoint Li Sicheng." ”

Li Ke's words couldn't help but make Li Sanlang feel puzzled again and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Ke replied: "Imagine if Princess Taiping knew who Keduo was, and she was eager to make meritorious contributions, why would she tell us where Kule Duotina was hidden, and directly tell us who Keduo was, wouldn't the credit be greater?" ”

Although Li Sanlang felt justified after hearing this, he still asked: "I don't even know Keduo, so how can the two of them conspire?" ”

Without waiting for Li Ke to answer, Pei Min took a step forward and replied with a smile: "Li Sicheng, this matter is not simple?" Isn't it enough to have a messenger in the middle? For example, Qi Le and Xue Liang can do it. ”

Li Ke nodded and continued: "Judging from the cautiousness of Gao Jian's visit, it is expected that Princess Taiping also knows that the real Keduo has not been caught, so this is the case. ”

Li Sanlang finally understood the reason, thought for a moment, and said: "In my opinion, for now, we should return to the Shendu as soon as possible to discuss with the crown prince, father, and Zhang Ge what to do next." ”

Li Ke replied: "It should indeed be so, in my opinion, the king is really in danger!" ”
