As Bai Yiling was riding her special motorcycle back to the village, Cheng Xiaofan was already flying over the virgin forest in the back of Po Tianying.
Cheng Xiaofan had ready-made angelfish in his spatial dimension; going to Bai Mang Lake was just an excuse.
Besides, although he had released many angelfish in Bai Mang Lake, they had not grown much yet and it was not time to eat them.
As he got closer and closer to Bai Mang Lake, for some unknown reason, Cheng Xiaofan's heart suddenly raced, and he felt a sense of unease.
He had a strange premonition that something had happened at Bai Mang Lake!
"Chirp—"
"Woof woof!"
Obviously, the eagle and the dog had sensed Cheng Xiaofan's thoughts.
Po Tianying immediately increased its flying speed, like a flash of lightning streaking across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, Po Tianying, carrying Cheng Xiaofan and Tao Qibao, had arrived over Bai Mang Lake.
Cheng Xiaofan cupped his hand over his eyes, scanning the surroundings below Bai Mang Lake. From afar, he saw two bay horses lying on the southeast lake shore, with other people and horses neighing around them.
"Po Tianying, fly to the lake shore where the bay horses are!" he immediately commanded.
"Chirp!"
Po Tianying responded with a chirp and flew rapidly.
When Po Tianying was still seven or eight meters above the ground, Cheng Xiaofan leaped out of the air and landed directly beside the two horses lying on the ground.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan arrive, the horses seemed to find their backbone and immediately quieted down.
One of the two horses lying on the ground was General Bai.
They were breathing normally and looked as if they were asleep.
Anesthetized?
Suddenly, Cheng Xiaofan's mind moved.
Soon, Cheng Xiaofan discovered that there was a needle inserted into the necks of both horses.
The needles were inserted very deeply, with only the tip exposed.
This was thanks to Cheng Xiaofan's sharp eyesight; an ordinary person would not have noticed it at all.
This was a typical anesthetic needle!
Had someone been here?
Cheng Xiaofan had no time to think and stepped forward to pull out the two needles.
At the same time, he injected a wisp of spiritual energy into the necks of the two horses.
After a while, the anesthetic lost its effect under the dissolution of spiritual energy.
General Bai and the other horse opened their eyes.
"Neigh!"
General Bai, finding his master nearby, sprang to its feet.
"Who inflicted this cruel hand on you?"
Cheng Xiaofan asked in a deep, stern voice, his face darkened.
Daring to touch the bay horses of Bai Mang Lake had touched his inverse scale.
"Neigh, neigh..."
General Bai neighed and led the way up a slope.
The other horses followed suit.
After crossing the slope, on an open ground not far ahead, Cheng Xiaofan immediately spotted two helicopters parked there.
Walking a short distance forward, a few frightened groans came from the nearby woods.
Cheng Xiaofan entered the woods and saw that the large white python he had encountered last time had coiled its thick, long body around four people.
The four people struggled and moaned.
"Hello everyone, I am now in a mountain hollow in Bai Mang Lake. Please watch what a frightened state people are in when they are coiled by a python!"
Taking this opportunity, Cheng Xiaofan started his live broadcast.
As soon as the broadcast started, a group of fans began to flood the screen with comments.
"Oh my god, isn't this the same big white python I saw in the live broadcast last time?"
"Why did the white python coil these four people?"
"Streamer, don't just focus on the broadcast, saving people is important!"
"That's right, streamer, save them quickly, don't let the white python kill them!"
After reading the comments in the live broadcast room, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Everyone, do you know why I don't want to save them?"
"That's because they are horse thieves. As soon as I arrived at Bai Mang Lake today, I found that my two bay horses had been knocked down by them with anesthetic needles."
"Fortunately, the white python found them and caught them!"
The four people were all dressed in black, had bushy beards, dark skin, and were powerfully built.
Unfortunately, no matter how strong they were, they were nothing in front of the white python.
It was estimated that these people were already scared out of their wits, and could barely even groan.
At the same time, Cheng Xiaofan noticed two long anesthetic guns lying in the grass nearby.
"Hiss hiss!"
The white python, seeing Cheng Xiaofan arrive, wagged its tail proudly.
It meant to say, master, I've caught four horse thieves for you. Do you want me to reward you by eating one of them?
"Help!"
One of the men, seeing Cheng Xiaofan approaching, shouted hoarsely.
Another man also shouted, "Help, please, save our lives!"
Cheng Xiaofan stepped forward, kicked the man flying, and knocked him unconscious.
"Speak,"
Cheng Xiaofan said sternly, "Who are you, and who gave you the courage to come to Bai Mang Lake to steal my horses?"
He could tell at a glance that these people were organized.
Someone must have instructed them to come.
One of the men, seeing Cheng Xiaofan kick his accomplice unconscious, knew he had met a ruthless person and shivered all over.
"I'll say it, I'll say it..."
The man said in extreme panic, "We are from the Taobao Gang, and we came to Bai Mang Lake to steal horses on the orders of the gang leader."
Taobao Gang?
Taobao for online stores, antique streets for haggling!
How did they end up in my Bai Mang Lake?
It seemed that this matter was still related to him. If he hadn't done a live broadcast, he wouldn't have attracted these people.
The viewers in the live broadcast room did not expect that the big white python had really coiled horse thieves.
"It's all because of the live broadcast. A video of a horse running on the water has attracted horse thieves!"
"Think about it, in this world, what kind of horse can run on water? It's only natural for some people to be envious!"
"The big white python is amazing, it coiled four horse thieves at once!"
"What I want to know most is who is the leader of the Taobao Gang!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan had no time to look at the comments in the live broadcast room. He glared at the man and shouted sternly, "Tell me, where is your Taobao Gang, and what is your leader's name?"
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I... I dare not say!"
The man trembled and said, "If I tell the truth, the leader will cut off my tongue according to the gang's rules!"
"Losing your tongue is better than losing your life!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered and said to the white python, "Swallow him!"
The white python flicked its head and opened its bloody mouth towards the man.
"Ah, I'll say it, I'll say it..."
The man was terrified and shouted frantically like a madman.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand gently at the white python.
The white python immediately retracted its head.
The man wiped the cold sweat from his face and said, "Our Taobao Gang's headquarters is in Yicheng, and the overall leader is named Tao Duobao."
"In Yicheng, under the guise of opening a Taobao store, he secretly recruited over ten thousand people, established many branches in various places, and collected rare treasures from online and offline, selling them to foreign countries through various channels to gain huge profits."
