However, upon that brief look, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He discovered that during the attack, the three-legged python had been severed in two at the seven-inch mark, and that its previous head-raising was merely a final burst of energy before its death!
"how so?"
A look of surprise flashed in Chen Yunjie's eyes.
He knew all too well the power of the Mountain Collapse Formation.
The Mountain-Crushing Light, which had only been condensed to 30%, would never have caused this kind of injury.
Moreover, he sensed a sharp sword intent at the cut!
Sword intent—that's exclusive to sword cultivators.
A strange light flashed in Chen Yunjie's eyes.
None of the thirty members of their mercenary group were sword cultivators.
Moreover, sword cultivators who have cultivated sword intent are at least at the Golden Core stage...
Just then, he finally noticed Chen Xiaogu, who was lying on the ground deep in the canyon, half-dead.
"Quick, save them!"
Chen Yunjie roared at the cliffs on both sides.
"Brother Xiaogu!"
Accompanied by the sound, a figure in blue leaped down from the cliff.
The voice was naturally made by Chen Yunxiang.
He had already evacuated here when he received the evacuation order.
They approached Chen Xiaogu, who was covered in blood.
A look of horror flashed in his eyes.
There was no other reason than that Chen Xiaogu was seriously injured. His whole body was covered in wounds, the blood had dried up, and he was barely breathing.
He wanted to help Chen Xiaogu up.
But when his hand touched Chen Xiaogu, he suddenly felt an electric shock.
A tiny wound appeared on my fingertip instantly, oozing bright red blood.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yunxiang's eyes widened; he had never seen such a bizarre injury before...
So he quickly sent a telepathic message to Chen Yunjie: "Brother, Xiaogu's injuries are serious, come and take a look."
Chen Yunjie was directing people to dismember the three-legged python's carcass.
Hearing the shout, they rushed over.
"Brother, look at Xiaogu's injuries..."
Upon hearing Chen Yunxiang's words, Chen Yunjie quickly released his divine sense to investigate Chen Xiaogu's current situation.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
Chen Xiaogu's entire body was filled with a strange sword intent that was constantly draining his life force!
This sword intent is exactly the same as the sword intent remaining on the python's body.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yunjie instantly understood that the reason he was able to easily slay the three-legged python was precisely because of this sword intent.
"Brother, what do we do now? Is there any way to save Xiaogu?"
Chen Yunxiang, standing nearby, asked anxiously.
Chen Xiaogu was recruited into the mercenary group by him. If something goes wrong, he won't be able to explain it to the Chen family branch.
"Sigh, it's tough!"
Chen Yunjie sighed deeply and said, "The sword intent on his body should have been left by a sword master at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Unless his cultivation level surpasses that of its master, otherwise..."
At this point, Chen Yunjie shook his head: "My cultivation level is not high enough. The only thing I can do now is to help him prolong his life, maybe enough to buy him a few more days..."
Chen Yunjie's voice was deep.
He was merely the leader of a small mercenary group, not a master alchemist, and had no idea how to treat Chen Xiaogu's injuries.
He could only rely on his years of experience as a mercenary leader to help Chen Xiaogu stabilize his injuries.
After saying that, Chen Yunjie transferred a wisp of true energy into Chen Xiaogu's body.
This wisp of true energy temporarily stabilized Chen Xiaogu's injuries.
As for the rest, we can only leave it to fate.
"Brother, if Brother Xiaogu can't hold on any longer, let's leave him a share of the Three-Legged Python's profits..."
Chen Yunxiang said after a moment's thought.
When mercenaries die, the mercenary group will issue a pension, but will no longer receive a share of the profits.
This ensures that those who survive receive a larger share of the benefits, which helps maintain morale.
The level of compensation depends on the strength of each mercenary group.
A small mercenary group like the Fengshan Chen family.
The compensation for Foundation Establishment cultivators is only 50,000 spirit stones.
For an ordinary cultivator, 50,000 spirit stones is already a huge sum of money.
However, compared to the three-legged python's tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones, it's very low.
"After all, he still has an entire family to support..."
There was a hint of sadness in Chen Yunxiang's voice.
Chen Xiaogu was placed in Fengshan City by him.
He knew the situation of the Fengshan Chen family better than anyone else.
The entire family only has one Foundation Establishment cultivator, Chen Xiaogu; the rest are just Qi Refining stage weaklings. If they are left unattended, the family will soon dissipate.
Hearing Chen Yunxiang's words, Chen Yunjie nodded: "That's good. Xiao Gu contributed the most to killing the three-legged python this time. If he hadn't found the seven-inch spot and used his sword intent to break through the three-legged python's defense, we would definitely have failed this time."
Chen Yunjie's voice carried a hint of sigh.
This hunt was full of twists and turns.
If it weren't for Chen Xiaogu, they might be fleeing for their lives in the mountains right now.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Yunjie instructed Chen Yunxiang, "I'll stay here to help Xiaogu stabilize his injuries. You take some men and quickly deal with that three-legged python. It's best to leave before dark, otherwise things might change. I have a bad feeling..."
Chen Yunjie said slowly, for some reason, he did not feel as surprised as he had expected after killing the three-legged python.
Instead, I sensed a faint sense of danger.
It was completely inexplicable and extremely strange.
Especially now that they have just experienced a major battle, they are in a weakened state.
