Song Xiaodong was eager to return, so the next day he met Yan Kai with Qingluan, and after Qingluan made some promises, they returned directly to Vermilion Bird City the same day.

Under the joint efforts of Song Xiaodong and Qingluan, Vermilion Bird City and White Tiger City soon reached an agreement.

Of course, Song Xiaodong promised them many benefits; otherwise, they wouldn't reveal the way out so easily.

With excitement in their hearts, Song Xiaodong and Qingluan arrived before a mountain wall, a place said to be the entry point in legends.

There were only a few people present, just some key figures from White Tiger City and Vermilion Bird City, as this concerned the secret of the entire world, they naturally wouldn't let it be known easily.

Yan Kai said: "Mr. Song, this is the legendary entrance. We later sealed it with a large stone, so it looks no different from the stone wall now, but this is definitely the right spot."

Zhu Zhishun, the City Lord of Vermilion Bird City, also said: "Indeed, only people from our two cities know this spot, and even then it's only known among the line of our City Lords. Others might know that an exit exists, but no one knows the exact location."

Song Xiaodong frowned and said: "The entrance is well-sealed."

Yan Kai said: "Naturally, to prevent outsiders from entering. It is said that it took quite a few days to seal it up at that time."

Song Xiaodong nodded, came to the mentioned spot, and gently stroked the stone wall. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead.

"How is it?" Qingluan asked softly.

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this passage is impassable."

"Why?" Qingluan was startled.

Yan Kai and Zhu Zhishun said in unison: "This is absolutely impossible, this is definitely where our ancestors came in."

Song Xiaodong smiled wryly and said: "It's been over two thousand years since your ancestors came in. Even ordinary places could be buried over time. Such a cave, through the years of crustal changes, is likely filled with debris and is a dead end now. If you still want to go out from here, it would be like randomly digging a new passage."

"Ah?" Yan Kai and Zhu Zhishun widened their eyes in disbelief.

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said: "If you don't believe me, you can try digging. I guarantee you'll give up in less than two days."

At this time, there's basically no tool to dig a tunnel; relying solely on manpower to dig a passage to the outside is too difficult.

Song Xiaodong then said: "Actually, I've already figured out a way out, but this method requires the cooperation of your people."

"Another way out?" Yan Kai and Zhu Zhishun were surprised to look at Song Xiaodong. Other than this passage, they really hadn't thought of another way to escape.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said: "We can go out the way we came in."

"But there's a Python God guarding there," Zhu Zhishun cried out again.

Yan Kai said: "Mr. Song might be able to fight the Python God alone, do you really intend to fight it?"

Song Xiaodong said: "If it were on land, there might be a chance, but in the water, I could only be food for the Python God. The method I'm suggesting is to lure the Python God away. Of course, luring it away doesn't mean fighting it, but finding a place where it can be seen and then regularly sending a large amount of prey there to tempt it daily to eat there, providing me a chance to find a way out."

Yan Kai asked: "If you go out through the waterway, can you come back? Will you be able to bring things to us?"

Song Xiaodong said: "Of course, we now have many tools that can come in. But don't worry, I will handle this very discreetly, so no one else knows. This world is still your world, unless you want out yourselves, then I can take you out."

Yan Kai and Zhu Zhishun were now quite yearning for the outside world, especially for the material wealth outside, so after exchanging glances, they agreed to Song Xiaodong's proposal.

Within the territories of the Great Vermilion Bird City and White Tiger City, there's a cave where the Python God can be seen, and Song Hu's wild village also has a cave.

However, the cave in the wild village is too large, and the giant python could enter, so they choose a place with a smaller cave, allowing them only to send prey inside without the Python God coming out.

Song Xiaodong and Qingluan returned to Black Dragon City and after explaining the situation to Huyan Lie, he fully supported them. His city being the smallest, avoiding war was the best scenario.

Moreover, since both Vermilion Bird City and White Tiger City had agreed, they had no reason to refuse.

Song Xiaodong immediately had Huyan Lie prepare some bladders from prey, which, when inflated, were like balloons and capable of storing large amounts of air.

These days, Song Xiaodong kept checking inside the Crystal Cave to observe the situation.

In the first couple of days, he could still see the Python God appear frequently. A few days later, the Python God was nowhere to be seen, as it had evidently been lured by the food and had spent these days eating elsewhere.

Moreover, after eating, pythons generally move less, digest slowly, and are less aggressive.
