While most crocodiles were attracted by food, Lin Yi and his group had successfully crossed the river. The pythons played a crucial role in this.
However, as they approached the shore, the pythons hesitated and dared not land.
For the pythons, this was an unfamiliar area, not their territory, and they dared not rush forward.
"This time you’ve really worked hard, go back quickly, I will clear the way for you." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novelꞁire.net
Lin Yi stroked the python’s head, feeling very grateful.
They took a shortcut, crossing over two more mountains and they would reach the border of Nan Zhao Country.
[Ding Ding Ding, the host has successfully purchased 2 tons of pork, 200 live ducks, paid 200,000 Heavenly Bead Coins. According to the host’s instructions, the goods will be delivered 200 meters downstream from where the host is.]
The crocodiles were attracted again, and the pythons successfully returned to the other side of the river.
To express his gratitude to the pythons, Lin Yi left a generous amount of food for them on the opposite side of the river.
Facing two tall mountains, Lin Yi checked the map, worried that taking a straight line through the mountains and encountering wild beasts would delay too much time.
"Forget it, just stick to the main road, it’s smoother and safer."
According to the map, they had to travel 400 li around the two mountains. In autopilot mode, they were expected to reach the border of Nan Zhao Country by evening.
"Everyone rest well, this time we’re not going through the woods, no need to fear wild beasts."
The off-road vehicle slowly moved along the mountain road, and before he knew it, Lin Yi dozed off.
"Don’t come any closer, if you come any closer, I’ll jump down." The little Emperor was holding a dagger, standing on top of the city wall prepared to jump.
Her long hair draped over her, with a seven-months pregnant belly, she was being accused by the civil and military officials, with all the Shadow Guards tied up, ready to be beheaded.
"No, no! You can’t do this!"
Lin Yi shouted in terror, breaking out in large sweat beads on his forehead.
"Mr. Lin, what’s wrong? Are you alright? Mr. Lin?"
Nan Yi and others were also startled by Lin Yi’s screams.
It turned out to be just a dream.
Lin Yi, with a false alarm, took a deep breath and gulped down two bottles of mineral water before slowly coming back to his senses.
"I’m fine, just had a nightmare, you all continue to rest."
Lin Yi casually replied, but his gaze was already out the window, his thoughts flying back to the Imperial Palace.
Having left the Imperial City just three days ago, he felt each day like a year, wondering if the little Emperor was still doing well in the palace?
Suddenly dreaming of the little Emperor’s identity being revealed and subjected to condemnation. Could it be that the little Emperor was really in danger?
Could someone be bullying her? Would the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince make things difficult for her?
She’s five months pregnant, could it be insomniac and sleepless?
Lin Yi thought for a long time, wishing he could use the surveillance near the Imperial City. Alas, the distance was too far, and the signal could not connect.
’Wife, you must be okay, absolutely nothing must happen.’
Lin Yi could only silently pray in his heart that his women could safely wait for his triumphant return.
While Lin Yi was lost in thought, the off-road vehicle suddenly plunged, unexpectedly crashing down with a bang into a big pit.
"What’s going on? How could there suddenly be a big pit?" Lin Yi was astonished.
Just as he thought about opening the car door, the entire vehicle suddenly swayed and was lifted up.
"This is bad, could it be that we’ve fallen into a trap?"
Lin Yi, realizing too late, looked up and saw that their off-road vehicle was covered by a sturdy hemp rope net.
"Mr. Lin, we’ve been treated as prey. Should we make a break for it now, and fight them?"
Nan Yi, gripping his sword, wished to go out and kill all the people outside.
Lin Yi stopped him: "We don’t even know what the people outside look like, how can we fight them?"
As soon as his words fell, Nan Yi felt ashamed; he had indeed acted impulsively.
Accompanied by creaking noises, the entire off-road vehicle was lifted into mid-air.
Through the window, Lin Yi clearly saw below him a group of local government officials, well-trained.
The leading government official, with a round belly and a fully bearded face, holding a long iron stick, vigorously hit the off-road vehicle, instantly creating a dent.
This distinct sensation of impact surprised Lin Yi.
’Damn it, even Python Sect would need the strength of nine bulls and two tigers to break this off-road vehicle, this guy’s Inner Strength is not to be underestimated.’
The bearded man spoke first, "Where did these troublemakers come from, thinking you can hide inside scrap metal and I can’t do anything about you?"
"Hmph, confess for leniency, resist and face strictness!"
As the words fell, the bearded man picked up the iron stick and directly struck the windshield.
The windshield instantly spider-webbed with cracks; if it weren’t for the shatter-resistant glass, Lin Yi’s face would’ve been covered in glass shards by now.
Sensing the unfriendly intent from the bearded man outside, Lin Yi immediately ordered everyone in the car to put on their pressure and shock-resistant suits.
At this rate, with the bearded man’s next hit, he was going to shatter the windshield completely.
Seeing the people inside the car taking their time and not responding, the bearded man waved his hand dramatically.
Following the bearded man’s command, several government officials threw big bundles of wood into the pit, followed by several buckets of oil.
Simultaneously, the off-road vehicle was slowly lowered down.
"Oh no! They are trying to burn us alive!" Lin Yi hurriedly opened the car door and was about to speak when he was hit in the head by an arrow with a flaming tip.
