After the black forest python left and re-entered the cave, Li Xuangang saw that only a pile of white powder was left on the spot.
He calmed down and then focused his gaze on the entrance of the cave again. This was just an episode in his observation process.
After this incident, the place continued to be quiet for a period of time.
The Black Forest Python rarely left the cave except for occasionally running out to bask in the moonlight.
Just when Li Xuangang estimated that Seventh Uncle and the others would arrive in the next few days, he discovered another monk besides himself one evening, to be precise, when the sun had just begun to set.
This is a female cultivator wearing plain white clothes. Her hair is like a black waterfall hanging down to her waist, and her delicate ears are faintly visible in her hair.
When Li Xuangang saw her, she was holding a compass-like magic weapon and wandering around on the flat ground outside the cave.
Sometimes she lowered her head to look at the magic weapon in her hand, and sometimes she raised her head to confirm the direction she was walking, as if she wanted to make sure she was going in the right direction.
Li Xuangang's expression was stern. He didn't start to guess where this monk came from. He only had the sixth level of Qi Refining and dared to run around.
Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, Li Xuangang's heart began to rise in his throat. He was not worried about the other party's life. He just hoped that at this juncture, when the seventh uncle was about to arrive, he would not
What kind of trouble was caused by this silly-looking female cultivator?
If it ruins the plan he has been planning for so long, Li Xuangang doesn't mind giving her a ride for Heisen Python.
Quietly watching the female cultivator getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave, Li Xuangang had no way to stop him for the time being. He could only stare at the female cultivator who appeared out of nowhere with angry eyes as his plans were disrupted.
.
Under Li Xuangang's dagger-like gaze, the female cultivator finally reached the entrance of the cave. Then Li Xuangang found that she was startled by the dark entrance. Although she did not make a sound, he still saw this
There was a look of horror on the female nun's face.
Just when Li Xuangang thought she was going to give up entering the cave and choose to turn around and leave, the female cultivator took a serious look at the compass in her hand, and then hesitantly walked into the cave.
Li Xuangang was completely stunned by this scene. Although the spiritual energy fluctuations of the Black Forest Python and the third-level spiritual plant have been covered up and ordinary monks may not be able to feel it, the spiritual energy emitted by the first-level mid-level spiritual vein in this cave is real.
Here I am.
If that female cultivator has any brains, she should know what it means to have a first-order spiritual vein in the Hengduan Mountains. That often means that there is a monster beast of at least a second-order one entrenched inside.
If this female cultivator had a cultivation level above the Foundation Establishment stage, Li Xuangang could have thought that the other party was hunting for treasure. However, judging from his perception, this female cultivator indeed only had a cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, so Li Xuangang could only
Can attribute the reason to the other party's lack of brains.
When the female cultivator in white entered the cave and finally disappeared from his eyes, he knew that he might not need to do anything himself.
Now, he just hopes that this black forest python will not think that someone has discovered its lair, and forcibly dig up the third-level spiritual plant, and then take it away from this place.
What happened next was exactly as Li Xuangang expected. Shortly after the female cultivator entered the cave, a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy came from inside. However, this slight fluctuation of spiritual energy only lasted for a moment, and then calmness returned.
There is no way a monk at the sixth level of Qi Refining can compete with a third-level Black Forest Python.
The opponent can kill him with just one casual attack.
After this brief fluctuation of spiritual energy, Li Xuangang was worried that the black python would leave the place, and at the same time guessed that the female nun might have entered the belly of the black python.
Moreover, it is unlikely that this female cultivator has the same kind of soft armor as the Foundation Establishment monk, so she may not be able to survive in the Black Forest Python's belly for even a moment, and she will be completely corroded by the Black Forest Python's gastric juices, even
Not a single skeleton can be left behind.
And the monk in the foundation-building stage at least had a pile of white powder left.
...
Li Xuangang was not kept waiting for too long.
One day later, under the leadership of the second brother Li Xuantian, the seventh uncle Li Changzhi arrived here with twenty clan members.
Since Li Xuantian had already briefed his seventh uncle Li Changzhi on the brief situation beforehand, all the twenty tribesmen brought this time were in the late stage of Qi refining.
Among them, Li Xuangang also saw the second uncle Li Qingyang and the fourth uncle Li Qingjing. As for Li Xuankun and Li Xuanyu, he did not see them. They probably stayed at the Lingshan stronghold.
More than twenty monks of the Li family gathered in Li Xuangang's temporary cave.
After Li Xuangang was called back by his second brother Li Xuantian, he first met with the elders of the clan, and then said to his seventh uncle Li Changzhi:
"Seventh uncle, after a period of observation by Xuan Gang, he discovered that the black forest python has a cultivation level close to the third-level middle level. It had previously hidden its cultivation level and killed a monk who was in the early stage of foundation building."
Hearing Li Xuangang's answer, Li Changzhi was a little dissatisfied. He waved his hand and said to Li Xuangang:
"Your second brother has already told me this. Tell me something I don't know."
So Li Xuangang stopped talking nonsense and told all his observations about this black python during this period:
"Seventh uncle, after my second brother left, I also discovered that this black forest python may have suffered some minor internal injuries. The cause of this was the foundation-building monk it swallowed."
Li Xuangang then told what happened when he saw the black python spit out a skeleton.
Hearing this, Li Changzhi looked a little heavy, and then said:
"I'm afraid this kind of injury can hardly cause any harm to the Black Forest Python. Is there anything special about it?"
So Li Xuangang continued:
"The other thing is that some time ago, this Black Forest Python didn't know what method it used to cover up all the auras of itself and the third-level spiritual plant. Now the cave only has the spiritual energy emitted by the first-level mid-level spiritual vein.
fluctuation."
After saying this, Li Xuangang paused for a moment. He didn't know whether he should also tell the story about the female cultivator in white. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"The night before, a female cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining entered the cave. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy behind her, I think she has been killed by the Black Forest Python."
Li Changzhi looked suspicious and asked:
"A female cultivator on the sixth level of Qi Refining? Are there any doubts?"
Li Xuangang replied:
"There is nothing to doubt, but I saw that she was holding a compass in her hand, as if she was looking for something. In the end, she followed the guidance of the compass and entered the cave."
Li Changzhi fell into deep thought, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason.
At this time, Li Qingyang, who was standing next to the two of them, said:
"Uncle Qi, I think this female cultivator may have broken in by mistake. Didn't Xuan Gang just say that she followed a compass in? Maybe that compass can detect the location of spiritual objects. She
After her compass detected the third-level spiritual plant in the cave, she became greedy, which is why she did this."
Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, the Li clan members present did not have a better explanation. So it was Li Changzhi who made the final decision:
"No matter what, since we are here this time, we must achieve some results. Even a female cultivator from the sixth level of Qi Refining will not be able to affect our actions, so all plans remain as before."
"Have a rest today and officially start the operation tomorrow."
After speaking, Li Changzhi waved his hand to the tribesmen to find a place to rest.
However, he kept Li Xuangang and handed him some tools for transplanting spiritual plants.
"The operation will end tomorrow, I'm afraid Xuangang will have to work hard."
Li Xuangang took the various jade articles, then handed them over and said:
"Xuan Gang knows, Qi Shugong is relieved."
...
On the last night of the operation against the black forest python in the cave, Li Xuangang and Li Xuantian stood on a hillside outside the cave.
Li Xuangang returned the second-level earth and rock talisman that Li Xuantian had lent him before, and then solemnly said:
"Thank you, second brother."
Li Xuantian put the earth and rock talisman handed over by Li Xuangang into his storage bag, then patted Li Xuangang on the shoulder and said:
"Be careful what you do tomorrow."
After saying that, both of them looked up at the twinkling night sky, quietly enjoying the last tranquility.
...
The stars are shining brightly, this will be another collective family mission of the Li family in Taiqiu Mountain.
Maybe some clan members will die, maybe not. But for Li Xuangang, this is a problem that his seventh uncle Li Changzhi needs to consider, and he only needs to think about how to save his life as much as possible in tomorrow's action.
Because among the more than twenty tribesmen who participated in this operation, Li Xuangang's cultivation level was not really high.
