Su Qing did not hear Yan Jiao clearly. She turned around and looked at Yan Jiao, a curious expression on her face.

“It’s nothing. I was just frightened.” Yan Jiao shook her head, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

In these ruins that were full of traces of snakes, Yan Jiao felt as if she was surrounded by them. She felt that she had no way out, so she could only bite the bullet and continue.

“Heavens!” Luo Jie’s loud yell brought the other people who were frozen in place back to reality.

The professor was the first to react. He immediately ordered his assistant to set up the archeological tools he had prepared, while he himself quickly equipped the tools and led everyone into the hall to take a look.

Seeing this, the others did not wait for the captain’s order and hurriedly followed the professor into the hall.

In the end, everyone except Yan Jiao entered the hall made of gold.

Everyone was in high spirits as they studied the treasure in the hall. They touched and looked at it, like children who had entered the toy store. They were extremely curious and excited. “This is real gold.” someone said in a surprised tone.

Yan Jiao stood at the entrance of the hall and looked at the treasure-hunting crowd from a distance, not daring to enter.

The inside and outside of the hall were like two separate worlds. It was bustling inside, but it was extremely quiet outside.

She wanted to go in, but the fear in the depths of her heart made her feet stay rooted to the ground. She could only stand in place and could not move an inch.

After an unknown amount of time, the people inside reluctantly put down the jewelry and gold in their hands. They gathered together in front of the snake that was as black as ink.

The huge snake was seven to eight meters long. It was coiled upon a snow-white pillar, shining with a cold light.

Strangely, in this hall made of gold and jewelry, the snake was the only thing that was not made of precious jewelry. Even the pillar it was sitting on was made of ivory. The professor touched the black python and could not help but feel a little disappointed.

However, not long after they stood in front of the snake, they began to feel out of breath. They even felt frightened and helpless, and they wanted to escape.

The professor, who had touched the snake before, felt as if he had blasphemed against God. His knees were inexplicably sore, and he was overcome with the compulsion to kneel down.

While everyone was observing the snake, Yan Jiao could not help but keep her distance. However, as she looked at it, Yan Jiao began to feel that something was not quite right. She felt that the python was staring at her, and there was a hint of playfulness and anticipation in its eyes.

She shook her head, trying to get rid of this ridiculous thought. She wanted to look away but found that she had begun to lose control of her consciousness, and she was actually approaching the python.

Just as she was walking forward, she bumped into Su Qing who was squatting on the ground and observing some golden utensils.

“Tsk, Jiaojiao, what’s wrong with you? Why are you distracted again?” Su Qing was knocked to the ground by Yan Jiao, and her wrist hit the golden vessel in front of her, causing a bruise.

Su Qing’s painful cry and words broke Yan Jiao out of her trance. Yan Jiao quickly bent down to help Su Qing up and apologized to her in embarrassment.

At the same time, she wanted to leave. This place was too creepy. She could not stay here any longer. If it was not for Su Qing, she did not know what she would have done in her stupor.

However, just as Yan Jiao was about to leave the hall, her attention was captured by a statue sporting a python’s tail.

An inexplicable sense of attraction pulled her closer to the statue. The others noticed Yan Jiao’s unusual behavior and followed her.

The sculpture was very tall. It was a man with long hair hanging down his back. Its eyes were closed, and his upper body was bare. Its hands were piously raised towards the sky. It was unknown what it held in its hands. The lower half of its body was a snake tail, which was circling on the ground…

Yan Jiao carefully observed the sculpture’s appearance and realized that it was the Naga that she had been entangled with in her dream on the first day she returned home!
