Tang Ye had already scouted the path and directly led Tang Manhong and Yue Ya through the dense forest, leaping towards the cave where snake skin had been found. Tang Manhong was not unfamiliar with snakes, and she was secretly astonished to see many crawling tracks and snake skins along the way. She thought that the snake's size might be bigger than Tang Ye had described.
When they arrived at the entrance of the cave, Tang Ye stopped and said, "Man Hong, can you check to see if this snake spirit might be in this cave?"
Tang Manhong looked serious, crouched down to grab a handful of soil, smelled it, picked up a piece of snake skin to examine, and then followed the crawling marks on the ground. After walking out more than ten meters and looking around, she returned to Tang Ye's side and said, "The snake spirit is indeed in the cave."
