After visiting Ka’er, Xia Nuo meets Ah Luo’s uncle, Lei Yin again.

Before Xia Nuo appeared, he was still greeting the village chief with a smile on his face. After seeing Xia Nuo and Kan Lan’er appear together, he looked at the two of them and then sighed almost imperceptibly.

There is no other reason, the young man named Chang An is leaning intimately on the man beside him, and the atmosphere between the two of them can be seen as long as they are not blind.

Now you’re completely out of the game.

He looked at his silly nephew and said so in his eyes.

Did Ah Luo not receive his signal or what? He immediately waved to Xia Nuo enthusiastically: “We’re talking about you, Chang An.”

Lei Yin gave him a look of resentment and explained: “Actually, we are talking about the python disaster in Nasuru. I wonder if the brave adults have found any good solutions?”

Xia Nuo hesitated slightly because he heard the man reminding him softly in his ear: “Tell him ‘no’.”

“…No.” Xia Nuo finally chose to obey the man.

Lei Yin then said: “To be honest, I recently discovered a solution to the python plague from an ancient book.”

“Ancient books?”

The method provided by Na Duo Sha is also related to books, will their methods be the same?

“Yes, that ancient book was handed down by my great-grandfather. I remember that I was ignorant when I was a child and tore off the cover of the book. Later, I couldn’t find the book, and I thought it was lost, but I didn’t expect to find it in the house in my hometown.” Lei Yin smiled, as if recalling the past, “There is a prescription for getting rid of snakes recorded on it, which has a miraculous effect on eradicating the white python. “

“White python?” Xia Nuo heard the real name of the python for the first time, and he realised that until now, he had never seen the real body of the pythons.

Even Shi Xue Li, Kui Ke and the others who were attacked had never seen the culprit who took them away.

Those pythons seem to be shrouded in a veil of mystery, preventing people from exploring the truth.

“Yes, it’s a white python. I will never admit my mistake.” Lei Yin was very sure, “I’m ashamed to say that I actually worked at the Royal College of Medicine before as a pharmacist, and was fired because of a mistake.”

He didn’t want to talk about it, so he just said it in one sentence: “I have tested the prescription and confirmed that the success rate can reach 80%. I don’t know if the brave men are willing to use this method?”

The method he gave was completely different from Na Duo Sha’s. Xia Nuo was a little uncertain, but the man beside him spoke: “I don’t know if it is difficult to obtain the medicinal materials needed for this prescription? If it is not difficult to obtain, of course, we are willing to adopt this method.”

“The other medicinal materials are very common and can be bought in the market. There is only one main medicine, which requires the snake slough of the white python.” Lei Yin hesitated, “This is relatively difficult.”

Because what it requires is not an ordinary snake slough, but a certain age requirement for the spotted white python.

The man laughed when he heard this: “It’s very simple. We killed a white python while it was shedding its skin, and the slough was preserved. It is an adult python, and the slough must meet the requirements.”

A light of surprise flashed in Lei Yin’s eyes: “Really? That’s great! This way the medicinal materials are all in place, and I can make that kind of medicine right away!”

Ah Luo hurriedly stopped him: “Uncle, dispensing the medicine is not so fast.”

He explained to Xia Nuo and Kan Lan’er: “It is conservatively estimated that it will take three days.

It takes time to prepare and boil the medicine, and the dosage of the medicine is determined according to the size of the python, and the adjustment of the prescription may require you to wait for a while. “

“Yes, yes.” Lei Yin calmed down and smiled shyly at them, “I was too excited. To be honest, I actually want to use this prescription to return to the Royal College of Physicians, so it is inevitable that I am a little excited, please forgive me. “

After Xia Nuo expressed that he didn’t mind, and the man promised to send him the snake slough as soon as possible, he pulled Ah Luo, who was obviously reluctant to leave, and said goodbye to them.

——He couldn’t wait to go back and get the medicine out.

After they left, only Xia Nuo and the man were left in the main hall.

Only then did Xia Nuo ask, “Why did you ask me to say ‘I didn’t find a way’ just now?”

There was definite doubt in the boy’s eyes, but the man didn’t feel guilty at all: “Weren’t we not sure if Na Duo Sha’s method was feasible at the time? Wouldn’t it be better to have another method?”

“…Is that so?” Xia Nuo always felt that something was wrong, “Then I’ll go to the library now…”

But the man interrupted him: “Go again tomorrow, it’s already so late, you should rest.”

The hour hand of the big clock in the main hall was pointing to ten o’clock, and in the real world, Xia Nuo was already lying in bed and getting ready to fall asleep.

But it might be because he slept too much during the day, but Xia Nuo didn’t feel the slightest bit of tiredness at this time.

“Besides, the key to the library is in my father’s hands. He has already gone to rest now, so why should we wake him up now?” The man gave an irrefutable reason.

Xia Nuo had no choice but to nod, and then the man gently pushed his shoulders and returned to his room.

Xia Nuo wasn’t sleepy at all, he lay on the bed and began to think about what happened today.

From them trying to find Na Duo Sha, then his teammates disappeared, then got a solution, and then Lei Yin proposed a new method…

And Luo Yin, why did he go to Ka’er?

Although a solution has been found, the game seems to be cleared soon. But Xia Nuo felt that it was not that simple.

I don’t know if it’s his illusion, but he always feels as if there is a pair of hands manipulating everything behind his back, their every move seems to be arranged, and no matter what, they can’t get out of that circle, they are powerless like fate.

Xia Nuo couldn’t help shivering, he didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.

He didn’t realise that on the window of his room facing the yard, there were many winding black shadows slowly climbing up, but upon closer inspection, they were green vines.

As if they had made an appointment, they stretched out their long tentacles together, lying on the window, densely packed, all aimed at the boy inside the window.

If they had eyes, Xia Nuo would definitely be horrified by dozens of intense and fiery gazes, but fortunately, this was just a hypothesis, he didn’t notice it, and finally felt a little tired, and couldn’t help falling into a deep sleep.

He got up early the next morning, and an unspeakable sense of urgency urged him, making him quicken his pace of action.

He went to the village chief and got the key to the library. At the moment he left, the village chief suddenly said behind his back: “My lord, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing.”

He couldn’t help turning his head back, the village head still had a smiling and kind look on his face, but Xia Nuo tasted a bit of bitterness in his weather-beaten wrinkled face.

After Xia Nuo left, the village head let out a long sigh.

He has already reminded him of what should be reminded of, and what happens has nothing to do with him.

In fact, he also regrets it now. If it wasn’t for what happened back then, they wouldn’t have been trembling when facing the holy tree now.

The library is not that big, there are only a few rows of bookshelves inside, and some bookshelves are not even filled with books, which looks very sparse.

It seemed that he hadn’t been here for a long time. As soon as Xia Nuo opened the door, a few strands of dust floated into his nose, making him sneeze a few times.

Xia Nuo’s eyes were a little red, and when he looked up, several huge spider webs on the ceiling were clearly showing their presence, and the entire library was filled with an aura of decay.

Xia Nuo held his nose and walked in cautiously. I don’t know if he should be thankful that there are few books, but he found a notebook with a black cover easily.

Its name is also very simple and rude, it is called ‘Zhou’er’s Research Notes’, basically there is no possibility of admitting mistakes.

Xia Nuo took out the notebook, thought for a while, and took out the ‘Monster Encyclopaedia – Five Hundred Habits Monster Habits You Don’t Know’ as well.

That ‘Encyclopaedia of Monsters’ is very old. I don’t know when it was an old version. Xia Nuo originally just wanted to try his luck to see if there was any record of the white python in it. What appeared was the introduction of the spotted white python.

“Spotted white python, a subspecies of sand-spotted python, has a weak reproductive ability… It prefers shade and humidity and mostly lives near water, and its eggs hatch in water… It is small in size, and an adult python is less than two metres long…”

Xia Nuo slowly read the words in the encyclopaedia, with mixed feelings in his heart. 

So… who the hell got it wrong?

If it is true as Lei Yin said, the python disaster was caused by the spotted python, why is the behaviour of the python completely different from what he knows?

In an environment like Nasuru, it is impossible for the white python to reproduce in large numbers, and their body length also does not match the ‘giant python with a full five or six metres’ in the information he obtained.

So Lei Yin and Na Duo Sha, who is lying?

“Chang An, why didn’t you call me when you came to the library?” The man suddenly appeared at the door of the room, quietly looking at the young man in front of him.

Xia Nuo was taken aback by him, and subconsciously ‘snapped’ the pages of the book shut: “I thought you hadn’t gotten up yet, so…”

“Is that so?”

The man stood against the light, casting a long black shadow in front of him.
