"Snake!" A flashlight to the left to the east gives the answer.

The snake appeared very suddenly, and the light of the flashlight had not left the road ahead. Four pairs of eyes, and never let go of a tiny corner.

Where did these snakes come from?

Did these snakes live here naturally, or did someone keep them here on purpose?

The four men took a few steps back - they saw a snake at the same time, not a snake, several snakes entwined and wriggling, a few large pythons with thick bowls, and snakes with thick arms, two of which raised their heads high, and their mouths stuck out their tongues and made a "hissing" sound.

"Captain, look there—" Left pointed the light of the flashlight at the top of the tunnel, above the stone gate.

Left to the east, the focus of the flashlight was shifted to both sides of the stone gate.

Above the stone gate, on the top and sides of the tunnel, there are some smaller snakes.

Whether it is a large python or a small snake, the patterns and scales on their bodies emit a chilling evil light under the action of light.

A few pythons blocked everyone's way. They were slowly swimming forward, presumably by the glare of flashlights and emergency lights, and they were also cautious.

Ouyang Ping motioned for everyone to take a few steps back.

When they had completely calmed down, the four of them could see clearly that above the stone gate, on the top and on both sides of the secret passage, there were several deep, eerie and strange caves, and in and around these caves hung several snake moults, one of which had been dragging the ground from the top. The longest snake molt was as wide as an adult's palm.

The largest cave is about 30 centimeters in diameter, and the smallest is about the size of a teacup - many caves are clustered together like an enlarged version of a beehive.

The snakes must have crawled out of these caves, which means that the caves at the top of the tunnel and on both sides of the stone gate are the nests of the snakes. It is here that they reproduce and recuperate.

Ouyang Ping was very puzzled, what did these snakes rely on to stick to this stone gate? Relying on the wooden fish and sounds in the temple alone, it is impossible for these snakes to survive until now, let alone reproduce.

Maybe there will be some rats in the tunnel, but why are these snakes entrenched outside the stone gate, this one place?

From the entrance to the second to the stone gate, the four of them did not encounter a single snake along the way.

The building on the ground corresponding to the second stone gate should be Jing'an Hall, and the building on the ground corresponding to the first stone gate should be a room.

Common sense tells us that the place where snakes molt their skin is generally near the cave, and there are so many snake molts near the stone gate, so it can be seen that the burrow of these snakes should be near the stone gate. What did the designers use to keep these snakes near the stone gate for a long time?

Ouyang Ping remembered a detail, when he rescued Zen Master Mo Wei in Jing'an Hall, he saw two mouse cages in Zen Master Mo Wei's meditation room.

In Jing'an Hall, there are two meditation rooms, and the door of the other meditation room is always locked.

Ouyang Ping had no intention of harming these snakes, but he couldn't help but move on.

Ouyang Ping and Lu Yunpeng thought of the gun at the same time.

How will these snakes react?

For now, could there be a better way?

When Lu Yunpeng entered the dark passage, he brought a Type 79 miniature submachine gun, and the gun could finally play a role at this time.
