“Who would have thought, you all are so spirited so early in the morning!

Hahaha…”

Pang Gezhuang, along with the Deputy Gang Master and many experts from the Dragon Serpent Gang, came over.

As the host arrived, Zhang San also put away Feng Chengying.

Although Kong Wenzai’s complexion looked terrible, particularly when his gaze fell upon Wang Ziteng and Big Head Wang, filled with anger, he was after all on the Dragon Serpent Gang’s territory, so it wasn’t a good idea to trouble the two right now.

Can’t I offend your leaders or even you two little followers?

Just you wait!

“Since everyone is up, let’s get ready and then go experience that artifact you’ve all been dreaming of.”

Hearing this, everyone became spirited and even more excited!

Yet some were curious.

“Gang Leader Pang, didn’t you say that artifact could only be seen at Three Quarters past Noon?”

“Yeah, how come it has changed to being seen early in the morning today?”

Pang Gezhuang laughed heartily and said, “Truth be told, that place indeed can only be entered at Three Quarters past Noon; it’s just that it takes some time to get there from here.

Let’s have something to eat first, and then we will set off.”

Thus, under the warm hospitality of the Dragon Serpent Gang, everyone first had a good breakfast and then set off for the secret treasure location of the Dragon Serpent Gang.

Eighteen Moon Lake consists of eighteen waterfall pools situated between mountains and ridges as you follow the Great River Mouth southward.

The shape of the pools resembles crescent moons, each with its own unique characteristics.

The group followed Gang Leader Pang Gezhuang through the mountains and ridges, while a chubby Deputy Gang Master introduced them to the surrounding natural wonders.

Zhang San looked at the beautiful scenery around him, with the lake waters connected and shimmering with light, truly a wonderful place.

However, Zhang San was not in the mood to enjoy these sights, as he was looking for some small animals.

Because last night in his dream, he once again met his Golden Finger grandfather.

Yesterday, Zhang San had witnessed many mystical techniques.

Although he had not seen with his own eyes the Corpse Nether Sect’s method of refining Iron Corpse, he was already aware that there was a cultivation technique for refining corpses in this world.

The art of weapon refinement known as Thousand Mechanisms Path by the Mysterious Soldiers Sect was said to be extremely powerful.

The Gluttonous Divine Skill from Gluttonous Mountain always gave Zhang San a feeling that as long as he could keep eating, his strength would continue to increase.

The swordsmanship of the Pure Stream Sword Sect had allowed Zhang San to experience the exquisite essence of swordplay.

Although he felt that the female disciples of the Dragon Serpent Gang were a bit strange, not like disciples raised by a sect but more like tools groomed by a madam to make money, who knew if their so-called serpent-related cultivation technique was really a cultivation technique.

Therefore, Zhang San was always curious about what he would learn in his dreams at night.

What Zhang San absolutely did not expect was that his grandfather thought he had astonishing bones and exceptional talent, and then taught him the Language of All Things.

The Language of All Things is an ability that allows one to communicate and interact with all things in nature.

So, Zhang San always wanted to find an animal to try it out and see if he could communicate with it.

But to his sheer surprise, despite being amid mountains and waters, he didn’t see a single animal.

It was only with difficulty that he spotted something that looked like a fat pig, only to realize upon closer inspection that it was Deputy Gang Master Lv of the Dragon Serpent Gang.

“Ladies and gentlemen, this here is our Dragon Serpent Gang’s Shattered Moon Pond at Eighteen Moon Lake.”

“This pond, because of the waterfall pouring into it, makes the surface of the water shimmer, and combined with the silver light emitted by the white jade stones underneath, it looks as if the scattered light of the moon is splashing into the heavenly pool.”

Along the way, Zhang San found that although this Deputy Gang Master Lv looked quite plump, his eloquence and literary grace were indeed quite commendable.

And walking at the very front, Gang Leader Pang Gezhuang, led everyone to a towering tree by the waters of the pond.

The tree had a diameter of over a zhang, and probably even five or six grown men couldn’t embrace it fully.

The tree appeared full of life, with lush branches and leaves.

Pang Gezhuang walked over and looked up at the clear, serene blue sky.

At this moment, the time was nearing Three Quarters past Noon.

As sunlight shone upon the tree, the tree that was originally brimming with vitality, in a single moment, was covered with sun’s golden radiance.

Then, the numerous green leaves on the tree turned into dry golden yellow leaves, beginning to fall.

The space underneath the tree also became hollowed out, and the originally robust trunk, right in its centre, began to crack due to drying out, eventually forming a gap like a doorway.

Zhang San was seeing such a security measure for the first time and was astounded.

One moment it was a tree lush with branches and leaves, the next it had become a hollow shell of dead wood.

Big Head Wang was the first one to step into the crevice of the hollowed-out tree.

Deputy Gang Master Lv immediately made a welcoming gesture to the inside.

“Esteemed guests, please come in.

This is the secret treasure ground of the Dragon Serpent Gang.

Rest assured, though it’s a place that hides treasures, it’s also marvelously constructed, a world unto its own!”

Zhang San felt increasingly that Deputy Gang Master Lv was suited to be a tour guide.

Of course, it was a different kind of “fit” for the job.

Everyone proceeded down through the crevice of the hollow tree, step by step, through the dim tunnel that seemed to be lit by glowing pearls.

However, Zhang San sensed that the glowing pearls in the distance seemed to be moving.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a giant python, curiously peering at everyone from a branch in the tunnel.

Many had originally thought they were glowing pearls, but upon discovering it was a giant python, they all tried to walk around it.

With so many people passing by, akin to a rotating all-you-can-eat buffet, who knows whether the beast might suddenly take a bite at you?

When Zhang San saw the giant python, however, his thoughts were completely different.

“Why are you here?” he asked the giant python ahead in the Language of All Things.

The python turned its head to glance at Zhang San and, flicking its tongue, replied, “Above.

Warm.”

Although the people around heard Zhang San speak, they assumed it was just a code between members of the Heavenly Punishment Sect.

As for the hissing sounds coming from the python, no one paid any attention.

Even though the Dragon Serpent Gang had methods to tame giant pythons, the only person who could communicate with them was Deputy Gang Master Lv, and coincidentally, he was at the back of the group and not present at the moment.

So, no one knew that Zhang San was actually conversing with the python.

“Human.

Not eating?”

“Sweat.

Stinks.”

“Behind.

Women.

Fragrant.”

“Thanks.

You.

Friend.”

Zhang San was quite satisfied with his first attempt.

Being able to communicate with the giant python, he looked forward to trying this out with other animals in the future.

Not long after Zhang San and the others had passed, the giant python suddenly took notice of Kong Yuting, who was walking by with a group from the Pure Stream Sword Sect.

After awakening, Kong Yuting had immediately bathed and washed herself, especially her face, almost scouring it with a horse brush.

Coming along now, she hadn’t expected that just as she arrived here, the python would strike at her with a bite.

Kong Wenzai, seeing his daughter being swallowed whole by the python, was dumbstruck with fear.

Deputy Gang Master Lv, who was at the back, shouted loudly upon witnessing the scene, causing the python to spit out the beautifully made-up Kong Yuting.

Kong Yuting was close to tears, lamenting the misfortunes of her romantic pursuits.

She simply liked Wang Ziteng of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, and it was bad enough that he was oblivious to affection, but now that she had put on a beautiful outfit to make a good impression, she ended up being swallowed by the python, and now she was all wet and sticky.

Kong Wenzai had people take Kong Yuting back, but she was determined to tempt fate that day!

“No, I want to go, I also want to see the drawings!” she protested.

Kong Wenzai realized that his daughter didn’t really want to see the drawings; she just wanted to spend more time with Prince Wang Ziteng of the Heavenly Punishment Sect, so he had no choice but to let his willful daughter continue along.

Soon, Big Head Wang arrived at a large door in the underground tunnel.

Before the door, much like a small plaza, everyone crowded in, and the deputy gang master finally squeezed to the front, taking out his key.

The four experts following Big Head Wang each took out a key as well.

Big Head Wang patted the huge stone door, propped one hand on it, and placed the other on his hip, beginning to brag boastfully to everyone.

“The mechanical restrictions outside can only be activated when the sunlight at Noon at Three Quarters shines upon them.”

“This stone door can only be opened with the keys from the Dragon Serpent Gang’s deputy gang master and the Four Great King Kongs.”

“Put it this way, without these keys, even a deity wouldn’t be able to open the door…”

Big Head Wang had barely gotten halfway through saying “door” when, perhaps due to being overly smug and pushing too hard against the stone door, it suddenly began to rumble open.

The very moment Big Head Wang was boasting, he fell headfirst into the secret chamber behind the stone door.

Standing beside him, Deputy Gang Master Lv and the Four Great King Kongs, key in hand and ready to unlock the door, were left dumbfounded.
