Inside the belly of the Double-headed Python, there was a tall bulge, looking as if it were pregnant.
But within that bulge, one could faintly make out the shape of a human body.
Ye Lingyue's heart uncontrollably began to race, fearing that her mother and Nie Fengxing might still be inside the python.

On the river, the few canoes that hadn't been sunk were more or less damaged, taking on water, and Xia Houhong commanded the soldiers to row desperately towards the riverbank.
In the water, humans were no match for the Double-headed Python; only on land did they stand a sliver of a chance at life.
The Fourth Prince couldn't understand how the Double-headed Python, which had been sleeping peacefully in the water moments before, had suddenly become madly agitated.
"Fourth Prince, look." Zhao Feng, who had amazing hearing, noticed the breathing of someone nearby.
