What Shushu didn't know was that almost the instant her spirit sword pierced through, the giant python, which was preparing to ambush a group of spiritual cultivators, froze, and hissed as it gasped for breath.

Cultivators have keen senses, and even though the gasp was very faint, it was still noticed by the several cultivators in front.

The group exchanged glances and quickly pinpointed the source of the sound behind them. Without hesitation, they unleashed several attacks.

The giant python wasn't stupid; with its sharp eyes, it naturally avoided the incoming attack.

As it dodged and avoided the attack, its form was completely exposed.

The moment they met, their eyes turned red, and they immediately clashed, each unleashing a deadly attack, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Still inside the giant python's stomach, Shushu couldn't see what was happening outside. He only felt that the whole world was suddenly turning upside down. He struggled to pull back his sword and saw that the tip of the sword was covered in blood.

Looking over there, you can see that the small cut, which was the size of a fingernail before, has now become the size of a little finger.

Knowing it would work, even though the effect was minimal, Shushu was still very satisfied. She tried to steady herself and then used the same trick again, stabbing hard at the same spot as before.

The giant python felt a sharp pain in its body, and its fighting movements suddenly stopped.

It tried to examine its body internally, but its opponent had already seized the opportunity and launched another fierce attack.

Seeing that the attack was about to land on him, the giant python had no choice but to withdraw all its attention and focus on fighting the people opposite it.

This giant python was actually at the early stage of the Integration Realm, while the highest cultivation level among the teams it targeted was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Logically, none of them should be a match for the giant python, but for some reason, the python's movements were always jerky.

Seeing this, the group of people who were originally planning to find a chance to leave exchanged glances and unanimously decided to seize this opportunity and kill it.

And so, without knowing each other's identities, Shushu and the other spiritual practitioners outside managed to work together in a clever way.

The millet stabbed it repeatedly in the stomach, constantly causing it to pause slightly, while the people outside seized the opportunity to strike it hard when it was distracted.

The giant python was initially full of confidence, thinking it could hunt these humans and provide itself with extra food, but later on, the wounds on its body gradually increased.

By the time it realized it was powerless and tried to escape, there was nowhere left to run.

It was only at this point that it noticed something was wrong with its body. When it looked inside its body and discovered that someone was making an incision in its stomach, it became even more furious.

He wanted to concentrate on tidying up the millet and potatoes, but he was tightly entangled by several cultivators and couldn't spare any attention.

Finally, when its vital spot was pierced by a long sword, it realized what was happening and, determined to drag someone down with it even in death, tried to crush the sweet potato.

However, the Yaoguang Ding reacted even faster.

Just as the giant python used its last bit of strength to strike the yam that was still stubbornly trying to open a hole in its stomach, the Yaoguang Cauldron swept the yam over and swallowed it whole.

All of the giant python's attacks were blocked by the Yaoguang Cauldron, and not a single one landed on the millet.

The giant python, still observing from within, saw the small cauldron that suddenly appeared and realized that despite its best efforts, it hadn't even managed to scratch the culprit's clothes.

He was so angry that his blood turned to the back of his head, and he couldn't catch his breath. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief and died unwillingly!

In its final moments, the giant python was still regretting that it hadn't slit the man's throat before swallowing the millet.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and no matter how much the giant python regrets it, it is too late.

Back to the point, when Shushu noticed that the giant python's vitality had suddenly weakened for some reason, his vigilance was raised to its highest level the moment he looked inward with his divine sense.

Not only did he activate his shield to its maximum, but he also focused intently on preparing for a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, all her preparations were ultimately useless. She was somewhat dazed when the Yaoguang Cauldron covered her, but she quickly came to her senses.

Listening to the clanging sounds of the attacks hitting the cauldron while he remained leisurely, even Shushu couldn't help but sigh.

It feels so good to have someone—no, I should say, to have a cauldron protecting me.

Thinking this, Shushu couldn't help but smile broadly.

After the giant python lost its life and completely gave up, and the Yaoguang Cauldron was moved away, Shushu hugged the Yaoguang Cauldron and gave it a crazy pat before continuing her great work of opening the hole.

The stomach has already been opened up, and the other internal organs are mostly fine; now all that's left is the outermost layer of skin.

If she works hard enough to break through that layer of skin, she can see the light of day again.

Thinking of the warm sunshine, the fresh air, and the abundant spiritual energy outside, Shushu's motivation to make a hole increased even more. He worked desperately, trying to carve out the hole before the giant python's corpse stiffened.

So, the few spiritual cultivators who had just defeated the giant python and were exhausted were about to meditate to recover some of their spiritual energy.

Even though the giant python had clearly died, its belly was still arching, as if something was eagerly trying to crawl out.

The group exchanged glances, then, despite their exhaustion, struggled to move over and warily watched the area.

Sensing the life force inside, one of the female cultivators asked uncertainly, "Could it be a snake egg?"

As soon as she said this, a male cultivator next to her had his eyes light up. He took out a Spirit-Replenishing Pill, swallowed it, and ran forward to help cut off her belly.

There was no other way; the giant python's skin served to prevent spying, and without breaking through the surface, they simply couldn't sense the creature inside.

And if what the female cultivator just guessed is true, if there really are snake eggs inside, they can raise them themselves.

As the child of a fused spirit beast, its aptitude will not be bad no matter what. If it is nurtured from a young age, it will definitely be a great help in the future.

Even if you don't want it yourself, you can sell it and get a considerable amount of spirit stones in return.

Thinking of this, the male cultivator who was cutting off his belly worked even harder, which startled the little potato who was still working hard inside.

After realizing that someone outside was helping them, Shushu became even more vigilant and diligent.

Finally, after chiseling at each other for about fifteen minutes, they managed to break through.

Through the fist-sized hole, Shushu instantly met a pair of clear, bright eyes outside.
