The foundation-building monk who fought with this black forest python was a casual cultivator from Wujiangfang City named Han An.
His entry into the Hengduan Mountains this time was also in response to the Corpse Ghost Sect's call for casual cultivators. This is because the Corpse Ghost Sect has made a promise to every casual cultivator who enters the Hengduan Mountains, and can use the monsters they kill to return to the Corpse Ghost Sect in exchange for
Various resources.
Han An is already a monk in the foundation building stage. He is very aware of the dangers of entering the Hengduan Mountains. As a casual cultivator, the risk of entering the Hengduan Mountains will undoubtedly be much higher than that of sect disciples and family monks.
But for some reason, he still accepted the mission of the Corpse Sect and entered the Hengduan Mountains. Originally, he was going to go deeper into the Hengduan Mountains this time, and this place was just his way. But during the flight, he accidentally discovered
There is a cave here that emits spiritual energy fluctuations.
Based on his many years of experience, he judged that this kind of peaceful spiritual energy fluctuation could not be radiated by monsters, but was most likely some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure.
So after Han An thought for a moment, he chose to spend some time and go in to explore the cave.
Han An has been in the world of cultivation for many years. Although he has not been building foundations for a long time, he is also quite cautious. When entering this cave, in order to prevent being attacked by lurking monsters, he took out his magic weapon in advance and made
Be prepared to deal with emergencies.
But what he didn't expect was that during the process of entering this cave, he didn't even feel the breath of the monster, which made him feel a little relaxed.
When he entered the bottom of the cave, he immediately saw the spiritual plant that had just entered the third level. For a moment, he was temporarily attracted by its beautiful form.
At this time, he was the only one in the cave, so he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart. After hurriedly confirming that there was indeed no other aura around him, he quickly flew towards the third-level spiritual plant.
The bottom of this cave is a pool. In the center of the pool is a small piece of land, and on it is the spiritual plant that has just entered the third level.
As Han An crossed the pond, he estimated in his mind how many spiritual stones this third-level spiritual plant could sell in Wujiangfang City. He guessed that many cultivator families would be rushing to get it.
Han An has even begun to plan in his mind to send this third-level spiritual plant to the Auction Pavilion of the Corpse Sect for auction.
But until Han An escaped from the cave, he didn't understand how the third-order black python hidden under the pool escaped his perception.
...
Later, Han An, who was injured by a sneak attack by the Black Forest Python, did not come into contact with the third-level spiritual plant. He endured his injuries and fought with the third-level Black Forest Python in the cave.
Originally, although Han An was injured by a sneak attack, in his perception, the Black Forest python that attacked him had just established its foundation, so he felt that he still had a chance.
Only if he can kill this Black Forest Python, then he will not only get a third-level spiritual plant, but he can also use the body of this Black Forest Python to exchange resources with the Corpse Ghost Sect.
Based on this consideration, Han An took out a pill from his storage bag and drank it, temporarily suppressing his injuries.
In the end, Han An, whose injuries were suppressed, was at the bottom of the cave, fighting with this third-level Black Forest python.
It was not long after they started fighting that Li Xuangang and Li Xuantian accidentally discovered the spiritual energy fluctuations caused by his battle with the Black Forest Python.
After the battle started, the situation was different from what Han An expected, and it was even a little beyond his expectation.
After a period of fighting, he found that not only was the black python not showing any signs of defeat, but it was also becoming more and more fierce.
At the same time, he also felt that the injuries he had suppressed with the elixir began to worsen.
So in this case, he hurriedly flew out of the cave, because the space inside the cave was too small, which greatly restricted his movements.
And he must always be careful not to hurt the third-level spiritual plant.
After leaving the cave, Han An originally thought that with his second-level high-grade magic weapon, he could kill the black forest python before the injury completely broke out.
But he still thought of this Black Forest python too simply.
When he fought with it on the flat ground outside the cave, he discovered that this black python had hidden its cultivation level.
It turns out that it is infinitely close to the third-level mid-level, and it is only two or three years away from breaking through to the next small level. This is also the reason why Han An tried to break away from the battle but was unable to do so.
When he found out the exact cultivation level of this Black Forest Python, Han An understood the sinister intention of this Black Forest Python.
So he said to the black python that kept wandering around him:
"It turns out you never wanted me to leave alive from the beginning. I thought I had a chance to win. It seems I really underestimated you, you beast."
When Han An was plotting against this black python, it was obvious that this black python was also plotting against him.
The battle that followed was fierce, and Han An originally wanted to use a third-level talisman that he had treasured for many years to cover his escape.
But I never found a chance to cast it.
Whether they are monsters or monks, when faced with a life or death crisis, they will have a strong will to survive, although this will often cannot change the outcome of the battle.
Han An did not escape the Heisen Python's plan. After casting several high-level spells, Han An's plan to escape with one attack came to nothing.
This Black Forest Python was more difficult to deal with than he thought, and the several high-level spells he cast only increased the consumption of his spiritual power.
The final outcome was already determined. Han An, who was exhausted and had no one to support him, still failed to escape the attack of the Black Forest Python.
After reluctantly resisting for a while, he was swallowed whole by this huge black forest python.
...
In most cases, monks die quietly, such as this casual monk named Han An from Wujiangfang City.
Except for the black python that killed him, only the four of them, Li Xuangang, who were hiding in the high ground in the distance, knew the news of his death.
They didn't know the name of the foundation-building monk who was directly swallowed by the Black Forest Python, nor did they know his identity.
And this point is irrelevant to Li Xuangang and the other four. What they care about is the information gained from this battle.
There are two main pieces of information they got. One is that there is a Black Forest Python here that is close to the third-level mid-level cultivation level. The second is that there is probably a third-level spiritual plant at the bottom of the cave.
After Li Xuangang and the others saw the black forest python swallowing the unknown foundation-building monk, they opened their mouths and stretched out the snake letter to explore around.
They knew that this was a critical moment, so they calmed down and silently maintained their aura to ensure that it would not leak.
Finally, after staying outside the cave for a short while, this third-level black python twisted its body again and returned to the cave.
Seeing the Black Forest Python disappearing from his sight, Li Xuancai quietly greeted the other three people and slowly retreated farther away.
In the second half of tonight, Li Xuangang and the four of them will sort out the entire incident and then make a decision to determine the next action.
Finally, after discussion among the four of them, it was decided that Li Xuangang would stay here, while Li Xuantian took Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu along the way they came, and returned to the Lingshan stronghold as soon as possible to inform the seventh uncle Li Changzhi.
The reason for this arrangement is that on the one hand, Li Xuangang volunteered for the job, and on the other hand, there is really no one more suitable to stay here than him.
Although the second brother Li Xuantian has higher cultivation level and stronger spiritual consciousness, the other three people also know that the injuries caused by the second-level high-grade bloodthirsty crocodile on his body have not healed yet, and he has been holding on forcibly during this period.
Complete the family's mission.
If something unexpected happens if he stays here, he can't run faster than Li Xuangang.
As for Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu, it was even simpler. They simply had too low cultivation. Their spiritual consciousness could not even accurately detect information about the cave from that high ground.
Therefore, after many considerations, the four of them decided to let Li Xuangang stay here. What he needed to do was to monitor the movement of the cave before the clansmen arrived, and provide more information after the seventh uncle came with the clansmen.
information for family action.
In order to resolve this matter as soon as possible and to reduce the risk for Li Xuangang for a period of time, after Li Xuantian decided on the plan, he took Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu and set off overnight to the family headquarters in Lingshan.
Before leaving, Li Xuantian handed a second-grade high-grade talisman to Li Xuangang and said solemnly:
"This is an earth and rock talisman that I treasure. I lent it to you this time. You will return it to me when I come back, so you'd better not use it."
Li Xuangang took the talisman. He was a smart man and naturally knew what his second brother Li Xuantian meant.
So, he smiled and said:
"Second brother, don't worry, Xuan Gang knows what to do."
After taking one last look at Li Xuangang, Li Xuancai took Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu and disappeared from Li Xuangang's sight.
Next, on the way back to the family's Lingshan stronghold, Li Xuantian and the others did not care about the consumption of spiritual energy on their bodies, did not waste any time, and relied entirely on elixirs to restore their spiritual energy throughout the journey.
In this way, the time it took them to go back was reduced by one third compared to coming here.
...
After Li Xuantian, Li Xuankun, and Li Xuanyu left, Li Xuangang returned to a temporary cave they opened behind him.
Then Li Xuangang opened the Sancai Spiritual Array, completely cutting off the outside world's perception of him.
Li Xuangang is not a reckless person. Since he dares to stay here alone, he naturally has his own confidence.
And this can isolate the vast majority of monks, and the three-talent spirit-separating array that detects monsters is one of his confidence points.
Without caring about the consumption of spirit stones, Li Xuangang maximized the effectiveness of the Sancai Spiritual Array, then he opened the door to the realm source space and stepped in.
