Qinggu Plateau, marginal area.

In a deep jungle, there is a green lake.

Below the large bluestone at the edge of the lake, a giant python was coiling and circling, with the sunlight filtering through the leaves and casting spots on its body.

It is dozing off.

However, while it was sleeping, it did not notice that several figures, hiding in the dense bushes, were approaching it step by step.

There were three young monks, two women and one man, and they were wrapped in a layer of transparent film.

When you accidentally touch a drop of dew, it quickly condenses into ice crystals.

Ice clothes can isolate temperature and have a certain freezing effect.

This piece of clothing was originally developed for hot summer days.

But the clever monks discovered that it had a special concealment effect against snake monsters.

Even if you get very close, it is difficult to detect.

Obviously, these three monks wanted to hunt the giant python under the bluestone.

The three were very careful, and as time went by, they slowly approached the giant python and could almost hear its faint breathing.

The woman in the front had a solemn expression. She nodded to the other two and suddenly jumped up. She swung her long sword through the air and quickly chopped off the giant python's head.

However, her standing up still made the python react.

It opened its eyes, narrowly dodged the fatal sword attack, and bit back.

“clang!”

The sharp teeth and the long sword collided in the air, and the powerful recoil force caused the woman's body to fly backwards immediately.

But her eyes were shining.

"Right now!"

The woman shouted coldly, and the other man and woman immediately jumped out from the bushes, and two long swords were used to chop at the body of the giant python.

Due to the pulling of the first woman, most of the python's body was unfolded.

The vital area just happened to fall within the attack range of the other two people.

This is a scheme!

"laugh!"

The long sword chopped fiercely on the giant python's body, and two huge cuts appeared instantly, with blood flowing out.

"Weiyuan, what are you doing!"

However, the other woman frowned and shouted in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Sister Hu, I missed the target." The young man looked embarrassed.

It turned out that their plan was for the first woman to attract the python's attention, and the other two would work together to cut off its vital points and kill it.

But perhaps because of nervousness, Wei Yuan's sword missed the target. The giant python seemed to be seriously injured, but it was obviously not fatal. It just had two more wounds on its body.

"You...be careful!"

The woman surnamed Hu was about to scold him, but her expression suddenly changed and she rushed to Wei Yuan.

The huge snake's tail has already struck across.

"Bang!"

The woman surnamed Hu drew her sword to block, but she underestimated the giant python's power. She spat out a mouthful of blood in the air and flew backwards.

"Sister Hu!" Wei Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't worry about her for now, just dodge and kill this beast if you get the chance!"

The female cultivator who attacked first shouted urgently, then raised a brilliant sword flower in her hand and rushed towards the giant python head-on.

“Ping pong!”

In just one breath, she hit the giant python dozens of times, leaving several shallow wounds on its body.

The giant python roared and once again focused its attention on the woman in front of it.

"Adjust your mindset and think about what we usually teach you!" the woman shouted while attacking.

Hearing this, Wei Yuan took a deep breath, temporarily forgot about the injured woman named Hu, and focused all his energy on the giant python in front of him.

“Die!”

Finally, he found that rare opportunity, rushed forward quickly, and swung his sword angrily, cutting the python's vital point, overlapping the previous wound.

With a loud bang, the python as thick as a bucket was chopped off, and blood splattered all over Wei Yuan.

The giant python let out a long hiss towards the sky, and rolled madly on the ground. The two men quickly jumped away, leaving it there to go crazy.

They knew that the python was dead.

"Sister Hu Wen!"

Wei Yuan then thought of Hu Wen and quickly found her in the bushes.

She was vomiting blood and one of her arms was across her chest, apparently broken.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry..." Wei Yuan's face was full of guilt.

At this time, another woman came over.

The head-on battle with the giant python consumed a lot of her spiritual energy. Her face turned pale and her forehead was covered with sweat.

"I'm fine...Your lack of experience is normal."

Hu Wen forced a smile and said, "It's just a broken arm. It will be back in a month of recuperation."

"It's all my fault..." Wei Yuan still blamed himself.

“That’s enough!”

The other woman stepped forward, helped Hu Wen up, and looked at Wei Yuan: "It is very common to get injured in battle."

"Instead of blaming yourself, you should find out where your problem lies. Otherwise, you will never grow up!"

Hu Wen looked at her helplessly and said, "Jiang Fei, don't be too serious. This is not Xiao Yuan's first battle."

Jiang Fei had a blank expression on her face. She snorted slightly and said, "I just... don't want to lose any more companions in the beggar temple."

They were speechless and rested for a while before returning to the pond.

At this point, the python had made enough noise and lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, deader than dead.

"Huh? There are a few eggs here!" Wei Yuan suddenly exclaimed.

Jiang Fei and Hu Wen rushed over.

I saw a pile of white eggs lying quietly in the grass under the big bluestone.

I counted them and found there were seven.

"Giant python egg, we're rich!" Hu Wen shouted in surprise.

In the market, a complete giant python egg can be sold for at least fifty spirit stones.

For them, this is a huge fortune!

Jiang Fei also showed joy.

"Put it away quickly and deal with the python's body. The smell of blood will easily attract..."

Before she finished speaking, a voice suddenly came through.

"Hey, Green Python Egg, we are lucky."

Immediately afterwards, five monks jumped out from the woods and came straight to Jiang Fei and the others.

They were all dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary bearings. It was obvious at first glance that they were not casual cultivators.

"Yes, it's the green python egg. It's exactly what we're missing. This is the main ingredient." The leading woman smiled.

She completely ignored the existence of Jiang Fei and others.

Jiang Fei's face was not very good. He took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "My fellow Taoist, we were the ones who killed the giant python here, and we were the first to find the giant python egg."

She sounded quite angry, but the woman ignored her and just walked forward.

Jiang Fei frowned and prepared to step forward again.

But another monk blocked her way and took out a red token.

"Hey, what's going on with you guys..." Wei Yuan was about to speak when he was stopped by Jiang Fei.

On the token, there was a big word "Li" written on it.

The Li family of Yunxiao City is the manager of their area and cannot be provoked at all.

At this time, the woman from the Li family had already taken the green python egg away.

She came in front of Jiang Fei and said expressionlessly: "I am Li Qing'er, a direct descendant of the Li family."

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. Throw a hundred spirit stones at that person."

A small cloth bag was thrown at Jiang Fei's feet.

An ordinary giant python egg is worth fifty spirit stones each, not to mention that this is a green python egg, which is more valuable.

However, in the end, there were only a hundred spirit stones left, and the other party looked like they were giving alms.

But Jiang Fei and his friends were angry but dared not speak out.

They didn't dare to offend a big family like the Li family, so they could only swallow their anger.

Li Qing'er was obviously familiar with this. After doing all this, she prepared to leave with a proud look on her face.

A voice suddenly appeared.

"Li Qing'er, you are a direct descendant of the Li family, how could you do such a despicable thing as bullying independent cultivators?"

Four figures jumped out of the forest. The leader was a man wearing a purple cloak, looking heroic and dashing, with a deep blue sword hanging from his waist.

"Tianluan Palace, Ye Family, Ye Huang?"

Li Qing'er raised her eyebrows.
