Lin Yi instructed Nan Station's team to check their equipment and prepare to get off the vehicle.

Now, apart from the frame, their SUV had lost two of its four wheels, and even with a battery change, it could not move.

So they had to switch to a new SUV.

[Ding Ding Ding, the host has successfully purchased an autonomous driving SUV Land Rover, paid 80 million Heavenly Bead Coins, the product has been dispatched 10 meters behind the host.]

"Get ready everyone, get off, and change to the car next door," commanded Lin Yi.

But Nan Er and the others hesitated, shivering, "Lin, Lord Lin, but there are jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards in this dense forest, if we rashly go down, could it be...?"

They were genuinely scared, taking the example of Nan Yi.

Even though they were tall and strong men, they too had such a fearful side, Lin Yi also appeared somewhat helpless.

Perhaps the image of Nan Yi being dragged away by a leopard had left them traumatized.

Lin Yi had no choice but to get off the vehicle first, to set an example.

Indeed, as soon as Lin Yi got out of the broken vehicle, a few hyenas rushed up without hesitation, followed by a few leopards that walked gracefully.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was prepared, he immediately played the two recordings of whistle sounds he had made earlier, and set the volume to maximum.

Upon hearing the sound, the hyenas and leopards, as if seeing the Grim Reaper himself, bolted into the dense forest in a flash, daring not to act rashly again.

"Hehe, these whistle sounds are really effective, I didn't even need to lift a finger to easily drive away the fierce beasts."

Nan Er and the others watched in disbelief at the magical scene unfolding before them. Their awe-inspiring Lord Lin, known for leading troops and creating inventions and tricks, could even communicate with wild beasts.

"Hey, what are you still dawdling for, it's completely safe now, get off."

Nan Er and the others hadn't yet recovered before they were called back to reality by Lin Yi's voice.

Seeing that all the wild animals had hidden themselves, Nan Er and the others quickly got off and hurried into the new SUV.

According to Lin Yi's plan, their next step was to rescue Nan Yi, and according to Nan Yi's current GPS location, he was behind a hill at the back of Python Mountain.

This meant that Lin Yi's SUV had to pass Python Mountain.

Animals are extremely sensitive to sounds and vibrations, and the SUV passing by Python Mountain would definitely disturb the pythons.

If the pythons played with the SUV like a football again, it would be a total waste of time.

To avoid startling the serpents, Lin Yi parked the vehicle in a spot near Python Mountain that was hard to detect, and then sent a small drone into the snake cave.

[Ding Ding Ding, the host has successfully purchased five small Bat drones with tracking cameras, paid 200,000 Heavenly Bead Coins.]

Originally, there were many bats in the cave, so slipping a few in would go unnoticed.

After Lin Yi pressed the start program button, the five disguised Bat drones flapped their wings and flew into Python Cave following Lin Yi's commands.

Moments later, the monitoring screen began to clarify.

It turned out that this was not just a Python Cave; inside were a group of primitive people wearing animal skins, among them a woman with a crown sitting on the most lavish stone chair.

It seemed they had about a hundred people.

The inhabitants were chattering nonstop, yet their division of labor was well organized.

Some were wiping wounds on injured pythons, others were preparing food for the pythons.

Lin Yi observed carefully for about ten minutes; about a hundred people were taking care of approximately 200 large snakes.

And this was just within the camera's range; there might be baby snakes, mother snakes and others in spots the camera couldn't reach.

Not understanding their language was really problematic.

Lin Yi thought it over and checked the map carefully against coordinates, verifying the history, and finally concluded that this place was part of the historical origin of the Bai Clan.

And these primitive tribespeople were the ancestors of the Bai Clan, speaking the most ancient Bai language.

[Ding Ding Ding, the host has successfully purchased three miniature minority language simultaneous translators, paid 100,000 Heavenly Bead Coins.]

To clarify the real situation of the primitive tribal people, Lin Yi called back three drones, equipped with simultaneous translators, and once again infiltrated Python Cave.

A few minutes later, the sound from the simultaneous translator alerted and unnerved Lin Yi.

It turned out that this primitive tribe was the mysterious Snake-controlling Clan, managing over fifty thousand large snakes; this dense forest was one of their strongholds.

It was also one of the mysterious Snake Forests; aside from the people of the Snake-controlling Clan, hardly anyone dared to approach this dense forest.

Within a radius of a hundred li, anyone who approached was practically seeking death.

And the Snake Queen could sense the condition of the snake group, so when the pythons were drugged and sedated, she promptly came to the rescue.

Fifty thousand large snakes!?

What a terrifying number—if the Snake Queen summoned all these snakes, even if Lin Yi had 100 off-road vehicles, it would be impossible to escape.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi somewhat regretted his decision.

In order to save a distance of 300 li, he chose the nearest straight-line distance, crossing through this dense forest.

Now trapped in Snake Forest, and with Nan Yi carried away by a leopard, it was truly a loss.

Alas, it seems there are no real shortcuts in this world; what appear to be shortcuts are actually the longest routes.

Lin Yi observed for another half an hour and finally understood the daily routine of the primitive tribe and the pythons.

As soon as the sun set, they would send out two robust young pythons to guard the cave entrance, with sixteen guarding inside the cave, two large snakes guarding each direction.

At this moment, there were still two quarters of an hour before sunset.

Lin Yi did not want to disturb the primitive tribe and decided to quietly bypass Python Cave once the sun had set and then rescue Nan Yi.

After much deliberation, Lin Yi decided to use rain as a cover. Then he would drive around Python Mountain.

[Beep Beep Beep, Host Successfully Purchased Two Tons of Dry Ice, Four Dry Ice Launchers, Total Payment Made is 200 Million Heavenly Bead Coins]

The matter of rain could now be resolved; next came the camouflage of the off-road vehicle.

"Nan Er, you go break some branches, here is a rope, camouflage the entire exterior of the vehicle with branches."

Lin Yi instructed while observing the weather.

It happened to be raining today, and there were a lot of dark clouds in the sky.

After a tight and careful calculation, Lin Yi adjusted the height and direction of the Dry Ice Launchers and awaited the right moment.

"Come on, you four, put these dry ice columns in sequence, and keep launching continuously until all are deployed."

"Okay, three two one, launch!"

Following Lin Yi's order, the continuous barrage of dry ice pillars soared into the sky.

Bang bang bang—

A series of deafening sounds erupted, and the animals just watched Lin Yi and his team, not daring to make any rash moves.

The people of the Snake-controlling Clan inside Python Cave heard the huge noise and also came out to investigate.

But after a while, although they knew the sound was coming from the dense forest, they couldn't figure out anything else.

The Snake Queen looked toward the dense forest alertly, and after some chatter, two large snakes headed towards the dense forest.

At that moment, Lin Yi's simultaneous translator relayed some information.

It turned out the Snake Queen sensed danger, suspecting that it was the Python Clan's doing, and dispatched two generals to survey the area.

They were determined to eradicate any foreign species invading this dense forest.

"Bad, two large pythons are already on their way here, quicken your pace and then hide inside the vehicle."

Lin Yi was the first to scramble back into the vehicle, not out of fear, but to retrieve a certain recording, which would help delay time later.
