#241 - Chapter 241 Rockery

After lulling Yu Yan to sleep, Cheng Feng turned his attention to the neighboring room.

The woman arranged there had naturally succumbed to reality as well.

A forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches thirst!!!

After confirming the clues about Serpent Control with her, which were no different from Yu Yan's, Cheng Feng felt relieved.

He directly took her into his possession as well.

For a captive, Cheng Feng was already providing good treatment.

As for any potential quarrels later, they already knew each other, so what was there to argue about?

The morning sun poured down, and Yu Yan, exhausted from the hard work last night, slowly opened her eyes. Cheng Feng's handsome profile appeared before her.

"Hmm? Who is this man??"

"Oh, right, last night already... I'm now under someone's control."

Recalling last night's frenzy, her waist was still aching.

Just as she was about to lift her leg,

She looked at the familiar face before her.

What was going on? Looking at the sleeping Cheng Feng, Yu Yan was a little confused, but she quickly realized that she was still a captive.

Understanding the cause and effect, Yu Yan didn't dare to say anything. Recalling Cheng Feng's strength last night,

"It's fine," she murmured in her heart.

She turned over and continued to sleep.

Cheng Feng's eyes twitched. Seeing that Yu Yan didn't seem to care much, he felt even more satisfied. Given his current situation, a woman couldn't cause much trouble.

He slept for a while before slowly opening his eyes and sitting up in bed. He put on his coat, then gently opened the door and whispered a few words to the attendant guarding outside. Subsequently, he selected several trusted subordinates and ordered them to quickly go to Gao Jin's residence to check whether the forbidden rockery truly hid any secrets.

Cheng Feng sat in his study, anxiously awaiting news from his men. After some time, someone finally reported that they had found a clue. It turned out that there was a hidden tunnel beneath the rockery, leading directly to a basement.

Upon receiving this news, Cheng Feng immediately led a group of people to Gao's residence.

When they pushed open the heavy stone door of the basement, a musty smell wafted out. Suddenly, there was a sound of something cutting through the air. Cheng Feng waved his blade and blocked it. It was an arm-length venomous snake. Cheng Feng smiled faintly: "It seems we've found the right place."

Further in, there were snake dens of all sizes on the ground, enough to make one's hair stand on end.

Cheng Feng wasn't quite used to it either. So many slippery, intertwined snakes truly made one's scalp tingle. It wasn't that Cheng Feng couldn't bring himself to kill them, but the trypophobia was real. Only with the circulation of his blood energy did that discomfort gradually dissipate.

The group continued forward, carefully avoiding the snakes coiled everywhere. The snakes seemed to sense the intrusion of strangers and began to become restless, constantly hissing.

Cheng Feng and his men were not intimidated by these dangers. They gripped their weapons tightly and advanced step by step.

As they went deeper, the snake population became denser and denser, even forming snake walls in some places. Cheng Feng had to use even greater power to deal with these threats. He wielded the Silver Feather Blade in a crisscrossing pattern, killing one venomous snake after another. But more snakes swarmed in from all directions, seemingly endless.

Faced with such a difficult situation, Cheng Feng pondered to himself that if he just kept killing like this, it would probably be difficult to find the hidden entrance. He had to think of a way to break through this sea of snakes as soon as possible.

Therefore, he decided to change his strategy, using his blood energy to shake off the surrounding snakes, and then quickly look for possible entrances.

After some effort, he finally found a hidden door in a corner. Cheng Feng was overjoyed and immediately led the group towards the hidden door. Just then, several giant pythons suddenly sprang out, blocking their path. These pythons were huge and incredibly strong, bringing great pressure to Cheng Feng and the others.

A look of determination flashed in Cheng Feng's eyes, and he rushed towards the giant pythons without hesitation. In the narrow space, he held his long blade tightly, deftly dodging the pythons' attacks while skillfully using his swordsmanship to strike the pythons' vital points again and again. The pythons roared angrily, trying to suppress Cheng Feng with their huge bodies, but he always found loopholes to escape.

After a fierce battle, Cheng Feng finally found an opportunity and cut off the head of one of the giant pythons with a single sword strike. Seeing this, the other pythons rushed towards him, but Cheng Feng had already adapted to their attack rhythm, easily dodging and continuing to attack. As time went by, Cheng Feng gradually gained the upper hand and killed all the remaining pythons.

Having overcome the last obstacle, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the hidden door and carefully observed the mechanism on the door. After some research, he found a protruding dark stone and successfully opened the hidden door.

The door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage. Cheng Feng took a deep breath and stepped into the passage.

The scene before them stunned them all: this basement was filled with all kinds of ancient books and secret manuals, obviously all precious materials about Serpent Control.

Even more surprisingly, detailed records of Gao Jin's research on snake venom during his lifetime were found here, as well as several unlabeled medicine bottles. These discoveries made Cheng Feng extremely excited. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Serpent Control secret manual.

A ray of light pierced through the heavy dust, illuminating this long-sealed basement, and also illuminating the burning desire in Cheng Feng's eyes. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited mood, and slowly stepped into this treasure trove of knowledge.

Cheng Feng led his confidants to continue searching for clues in the cave. They carefully avoided places that might hide dangers, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble again. In this process, they discovered some traces and clues related to Serpent Control, which made them feel very excited.

"Order everyone to act carefully and not damage any items." Cheng Feng's voice was low and powerful. He knew that the value of these ancient books and secret manuals was immeasurable, and each one could be the key to unlocking the mysteries of Serpent Control.

The confidants quickly dispersed and began searching for possible clues in the mountains of ancient books. Cheng Feng looked around at the books in the room.

"It seems that Gao Jin really reached an unprecedented height in Serpent Control." Cheng Feng murmured to himself, with both admiration for Gao Jin's talent and anticipation for his upcoming mastery of this power.

Just then, a confidant ran over excitedly, holding a seemingly ancient book in his hand, with the four characters "Serpent Control Scripture" embroidered on the cover in gold thread, shining brightly. "Master, look at this!" he said excitedly.

Cheng Feng took the ancient book, his fingertips gently caressing the ancient words, as if he could feel a force flowing within them. Cheng Feng couldn't wait to open the secret manual and carefully study its contents. He discovered that this secret manual detailed the cultivation methods and techniques of Serpent Control, as well as how to control and drive various venomous snakes.

"This is what we've been looking for!" Cheng Feng's eyes sparkled.
