To her surprise, the machete exceeded her expectations. When it struck the snake, it only caused a small wound and drew a little blood, which was completely painless for the snake.

Yunxi was truly shocked; she never expected the weapon to back down at such a crucial moment.

Just as things were getting complicated, Yunxi suddenly remembered that she had a dagger in her space. That dagger was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting hair in an instant.

Before the snake could break free, he quickly stabbed it in the area seven inches from its neck, then stirred it around inside, satisfied to see the snake writhing in agony on the ground.

After pulling the dagger out, he stabbed it back in and continued to stir it. The snake's body was simply too large. If he didn't stab it accurately, all his efforts would be wasted. So he was willing to do it several times rather than give it a chance to live.

The snake struggled fiercely. Yunxi had been using her mental power to control the vines, and many of them had already been broken by the snake. In order to prevent it from escaping, she had to use all her mental power.

When the snake stopped moving, Yunxi felt a splitting headache all over her head.

She knew it was because she had exhausted her mental energy, and that she would be fine after resting for a while.

Just as I was about to put the snake into my spatial storage, I found that I couldn't. I immediately guessed that the snake was still alive and was pretending to be dead.

To prevent it from escaping, even with a splitting headache, Yunxi kept controlling it with her mental energy and kept silently chanting to put it into her space. After about five or six minutes, she was finally able to put it into her space and breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat down on the ground, panting heavily. He had no idea what the snake ate to grow so big.

It seems to have lived for an exceptionally long time. I really want to visit its lair to see if there are any rare and precious treasures. I feel there's a good chance it could have grown this big without consuming such treasures.

Once her head had recovered a bit and wasn't hurting so much, Yunxi followed the path the snake had slid through on the ground, preparing to find its lair.

After walking for about an hour, we arrived at a particularly dark place. In the distance, we could see a cave entrance emanating a foul, fishy smell.

Yunxi was worried that there might be another snake inside, so she didn't rush in impulsively. She planned to wait until her mental strength recovered before figuring out a solution.

He left the place immediately and waited in a distant spot to avoid the wind carrying his scent and revealing his location.

If there had been another snake that big, these two snakes would have been virtually unchallenged in this forest, reigning supreme. It was only when they encountered their nemesis that they embarked on their path of no return.

The mental energy was greatly depleted, making Yunxi extremely hungry. She immediately filled a large bowl with rice and a large bowl with meat, intending to replenish herself properly.

After eating and drinking to my heart's content, I drank a large cup of peach blossom tea, rested for a while, and even took a short nap. When I woke up, I felt refreshed and my mental energy had been fully restored.

She was full of energy and ready to go all out, since there were still two hours until dark and she wasn't worried about running out of time.

When I quietly returned to the cave entrance, I peeked into the cave a few times from a spot not far from the entrance.

I couldn't feel anything inside. I threw a stone in, and I could hear it rolling down. It wasn't deep at all.

Yunxi waited outside for a while, but didn't hear any sound, so she guessed that there shouldn't be another large snake inside.

Yunxi glanced casually to the side and suddenly realized that she seemed to have seen something extraordinary. Although it was not autumn and there were no red fruits growing on it, Yunxi was sure that she was not mistaken. It must be the legendary ginseng.

I dug up a ginseng several months ago and sold it for several hundred yuan back then.

Those ginsengs were less than a hundred years old, yet they were already so valuable. If I dug up all of that ginseng, I would instantly become the richest person in the entire village.

To ensure she could focus on digging for ginseng, Yunxi decided to first check inside the cave. Only after confirming she was safe could she proceed with the digging.

I glanced reluctantly at the small pile of ginseng, and roughly estimated that there were at least several dozen pieces.

I walked straight into the cave, and a pungent smell hit me. It seems that snake really has no sense of propriety; even its own dwelling smells so bad.

I quickly covered my nose and walked inside. Fortunately, the cave wasn't deep at all. After about 20 meters, I arrived at the innermost part of the cave. There was a very flat area, which seemed to be where snakes usually rested. It was about 50 square meters in size.

It was about the size of a room, and Yunxi immediately felt that it didn't look like a natural cave; it had signs of human intervention.

The ground was too flat, and the cave walls showed signs of chisels. After walking up and looking around, I found a small passage in a corner, just big enough for one person to pass through.

It's only because I'm so thin that I was able to get through this passage; I imagine that snake was too big for me to pass through.

If there was anything inside, it shouldn't have been damaged.

At this moment, Yunxi was particularly excited, feeling like she was on a treasure hunt. She had even forgotten about the ginseng waiting for her to dig outside the cave.

Seeing that there was nothing else in the cave except a pile of smelly excrement, they quickly headed towards the passage.

The more Yunxi walked, the more excited he became. Although the passage was small, there were signs of excavation. It should have been even smaller originally, but it had been dug up to make it just big enough for one person to pass through.

As we walked deeper and deeper, it seemed we had reached the very end of the cave. I thought we would never reach the end tonight, but to my surprise, after walking for less than three minutes, we saw a light ahead.

This is quite unexpected; I didn't expect there to be another way out inside this cave.

If the passage hadn't been so narrow, Yunxi would have loved to run straight through; it was just too much of a waste of her time.

Finally, we arrived at a bright place, only to find that it was an even larger cave. The light that had just been emitted was the light projected into the cave through the carved-out opening, which made the entire cave seem less dark.
