Yu Wenran was startled awake by Gu Yanyue. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a snake still hibernating not far away. Only then did he understand why Gu Yanyue had just called him out so rudely.

Gu Yanyue was pinching Yuwen Ran while calling her to get up. If Yuwen Ran guessed correctly, his waist should have been pinched purple by Gu Yanyue.

Yu Wenran scooped up a handful of rainwater to wash his face, then shook his head. When he came to his senses, he took the sword beside him and walked towards the snake.

Seeing Yuwen Ran about to deal with the snake, Gu Yanyue couldn't help but feel a little worried. She carefully reminded Yuwen Ran from behind: "Ah Ran, you must pay attention to safety! Don't get bit by the snake."

After saying that, Gu Yanyue ran towards the cave entrance very honestly. If he hadn't just wanted to call Yu Wenran to get up and chop the snake, Gu Yanyue would have already run to the cave entrance and hugged the mechanism he had made yesterday.

Yu Wenran naturally saw Gu Yanyue's action. After all, he knew how afraid Gu Yanyue was of snakes. Although Gu Yanyue looked fearless on the surface, she was secretly most afraid of small insects and other creatures, especially snakes.

How scared was Gu Yanyue of snakes? She was so scared that whenever Yuwen Ran mentioned snakes, even though she knew it was fake, she would still tremble.

Gu Yanyue didn't know why she was so afraid of cold-blooded animals like snakes. Maybe it was just innate. When she was a child, she would immediately change the channel when she saw a TV program with snakes at home. She was even afraid of toy snakes sold in stores.

When she was in school, a classmate had used that to tease her. Gu Yanyue was still young at the time, and she couldn't help but be frightened. She was frightened to the point of crying, and she felt a chill on her back for several days, as if a snake was following her.

Yu Wenran turned around and comforted Gu Yanyue, saying, "Ayue, it's okay. The snake has already hibernated. Now it's only me who can hurt it, not it."

Just as Yuwen Ran said, the snake had been hibernating and was not aggressive, so Yuwen Ran quickly killed it. He was just about to untie the mechanism and throw the dead snake out of Shandong to prevent Gu Yanyue from being scared when she saw it later.

The moment Yuwen Ran's hand touched the mechanism, Gu Yanyue called out to him, "Aran, don't move!"

After being yelled at by Gu Yanyue, Yu Wenran instantly stood still and didn't dare to move. Gu Yanyue listened carefully to the movement outside the cave. She just heard the sound of someone untying her mechanism.

If you want to become a big shot like Bai Youjin, you not only need to be talented and skilled, but most importantly, you must have good hearing.

In this way, when making a mechanism, you can judge by the sounds made by those small parts whether these parts are placed in the correct place and not in the wrong place.

The art of mechanisms changes rapidly. If even a small part is not placed in the right place, it may change the direction of the entire mechanism, which may result in the person who made the mechanism being unable to solve it.

But none of this could happen to Bai Youjin and Gu Yanyue. What mechanism in the world couldn't be solved by Bai Youjin, the world's "number one master of mechanism"? As for Gu Yanyue, it was simply because she had solved so many mechanisms before. No matter how it changed, she could solve it in a matter of minutes.

Gu Yanyue lay on top of her innermost mechanism, listening to the sounds of the small parts she had placed in the front mechanism. It seemed that the group of black fish people had finally found where she and Yu Wenran were hiding. And this was earlier than she and Yu Wenran had originally expected.

Gu Yanyue had originally planned to discuss with Yuwen Ran later how to avoid being tracked by those men in black and reach Qianzhou quickly and safely.

The address of this cave is extremely secret. If Gu Yanyue hadn't suddenly seen such a place, Yuwen Ran might still be taking Gu Yanyue wandering around in the woods, trying to shake off those little tails behind them.

"What happened, Ah Yue?" Yuwen Ran Gu Yanyue had been lying on the mechanism for most of the day, and she wouldn't change her position. Furthermore, he was holding the thing Gu Yanyue feared most in her life—a snake. If he didn't take advantage of Gu Yanyue's inability to react, he would have to throw the snake out.

Gu Yanyue listened for a long while before lifting herself from the trap. She shook her head at Yuwen Ran behind her, "Ah Ran, we can't go out now. Those men in black are following us. I just heard them trying to undo the traps below me, but judging by the current situation, they probably can't. We just have to stay in the cave and can't go out. If we go out now, we'll be walking into a trap."

Yuwen Ran was helpless, wanting to throw the snake out of the cave before Gu Yanyue got scared again. Now that there were people outside, he couldn't get out, so he had no choice but to cover the snake with his wide sleeves and slowly moved to the pile of hay that had long been soaked by the rain. Oh no, now it should be called the wet hay pile.

Yu Wenran planned to stuff the snake's body into the pile of grass first. Then, as long as he kept chatting with Gu Yanyue and talking about other things, Gu Yanyue would not remember that she saw the snake as soon as she woke up.

Besides, the pile of grass was soaked, and the cave leaked nothing except rainwater.

So if Gu Yanyue wanted to wait until the grass pile was completely dry before going up to sleep before leaving, that would be impossible. So as long as the snake's body was hidden in the grass pile, Gu Yanyue would not find it.

Unexpectedly, before Yuwen Ran could hide, Gu Yanyue took the initiative to ask about the whereabouts of the snake, "A Ran, where is the snake you just killed?"

Yu Wenran was stunned. He didn't expect that Gu Yanyue would remember the whereabouts of the snake so quickly. He was still holding the snake's corpse in his hand. He was suddenly at a loss. He was afraid that Gu Yanyue would be scared again after seeing it, so he stood there for a while and did not respond to Gu Yanyue's question.

Seeing that Yuwen Ran ignored her, Gu Yanyue called out several times: "A Ran? A Ran? A Ran?"

Yu Wenran finally came to his senses, stuffed the snake into the haystack, and walked towards Gu Yanyue, "I've killed it, it's okay."

Gu Yanyue asked: "I know this, but I want to know where the snake's body is."

Yu Wenran couldn't figure out what Gu Yanyue meant, so he considered his words and said, "Also... gone?"
