Qin Feng was overjoyed. He hummed a little tune as he mined spirit stones and stored them all in his storage ring.
Having a storage ring is so convenient; otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for him to carry around thousands of spirit stones.
After collecting all the spirit stones, Qin Feng was about to leave when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
When he arrived, he was so surprised to see so many spirit stones that he didn't notice the demonic aura emanating from the place.
He frowned, his gaze falling on a passageway not far away.
The demonic aura emanates from this passage, but who knows where it leads?
Are there any monsters at the end?
Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, then stepped into the passage.
The passageway was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
However, it didn't have much of an impact on Qin Feng, since he couldn't see anything with divine sense, and besides, his eyes could see in the dark.
The passage was very long, about two kilometers long, before Qin Feng reached the end.
This is an incredibly huge underground cavern, hundreds of meters high, with rugged and winding paths inside.
The demonic aura here is several times denser than in the passage.
Qin Feng dared not be careless, remaining fully vigilant as he slowly moved forward.
There is a restriction on divine sense here. Although divine sense can be projected outward, it is limited to a range of five meters, making it less useful than the eyes.
A moment later, Qin Feng saw something golden. He looked closely and was immediately stunned.
About a hundred meters ahead, there was a giant golden python!
It is entirely golden yellow, radiating a dazzling golden light.
Someone who doesn't know the story would probably mistake it for being made of gold.
This giant golden python is a demonic beast, and it is quite powerful, at least at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up. If he used a demon core from the late Golden Core stage to refine pills that could enhance his cultivation, he would definitely be able to break through to the mid-Golden Core stage.
However, demonic beasts at the late Golden Core stage are not so easy to deal with.
However, the golden python is currently asleep, and if it were to launch a sneak attack, he is confident that he could kill it with a single blow.
Without much hesitation, Qin Feng immediately took out the Dragon Cloud Sword.
However, just as he was about to make his move, the golden python, perhaps sensing the danger, opened its eyes.
Qin Feng's expression darkened. The awakened golden python was not so easy to deal with, especially in this cave.
The golden python was enormous and long, and he was constrained by space, making it difficult for him to dodge its attacks.
Suddenly, the golden python spoke in human language. "You lowly human, you dare to ambush me?"
Qin Feng was speechless. How could humans be so lowly? He really didn't know if this beast had an inflated sense of self-importance.
"You beast, do I need to ambush you to kill you?"
"Hand over your demon core obediently, and I might let you die a quicker death."
A giant golden python. "Hmph, you lowly ant, how dare you spout such nonsense before me?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the golden python suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a jet of black, foul-smelling venom, like a fountain.
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng immediately used the Earth Escape Technique to escape.
"You cunning human, you can't escape!"
Although the golden python did not know earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth), it directly spewed out a beam of energy to blast a path.
The energy shot out from the ground at the speed of light, reaching thousands of meters in the air in the blink of an eye.
It lasted for about three seconds before gradually dissipating.
Although it didn't last long, many workers at the mine saw it and exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, they witnessed a scene they would never forget.
A giant golden python suddenly flew into the air and sped off in the northwest direction.
Those who didn't know might have thought they saw a dragon.
Qin Feng glanced back at the golden python, his face filled with surprise. "Wow, a demonic beast that can fly at the Golden Core stage is rare!"
In the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm, unless they are flying-type demonic beasts, most walking demonic beasts need to reach the Nascent Soul Realm before they can take human form and fly.
Only a small number of mutated demonic beasts can fly in the air at the Golden Core stage.
The giant golden python before us is clearly a mutated monster.
Qin Feng led the golden python to a deserted area and then stopped.
Soon, the golden python caught up and, without saying a word, spewed out several beams of energy.
Qin Feng dared not confront them head-on and could only choose to dodge.
While dodging, he held the Dragon Cloud Sword, waiting for an opportunity to approach the golden python.
With his current magical abilities, it's practically impossible for him to kill the golden python in one strike.
Rather than wasting spiritual energy, it would be better to use the Dragon Cloud Sword to deliver a fatal blow to the golden python.
The giant golden python, being of enormous size, soon revealed its weakness.
Qin Feng acted decisively, immediately gripping the Dragon Cloud Sword and approaching the head of the golden python, slashing down with the sword.
As expected of a quasi-immortal weapon, the Dragon Cloud Sword, though Qin Feng couldn't control it yet, cleaved the golden python's head in two with a single, simple strike.
It even annihilated the demonic soul of the golden python that was trying to escape in the blink of an eye.
Qin Feng watched as the golden python's corpse fell to the ground, and then immediately descended.
Qin Feng took out the demon core and then peeled off the skin of the golden python.
The hides of demonic beasts can be used to refine magical artifacts. As for the grade of the artifact, it depends on the level of the demonic beast itself.
If you're lucky, the hide of a demon beast in the late Golden Core stage has a certain chance of being refined into a spiritual treasure.
Besides the skin of the golden python, Qin Feng also skinned its skeleton and stored it all in his storage ring.
The skeleton can also be used to refine magical artifacts. Although he doesn't need it, keeping it might be useful in the future.
Qin Feng glanced at the golden python, which he had dismembered into countless pieces, and then released a fireball to incinerate it completely.
Then he hid in the underground cave where the golden python lived, hoping to find some unexpected treasures.
Qin Feng searched around, but to his disappointment, he couldn't find anything!
He then used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from underground caverns) to return to the mine and continue searching for spirit stones.
Although he had already obtained around a thousand spirit stones, he still wanted to try his luck.
This place is so special that it can produce so many spirit stones, and there is also a golden python living here. It must be something special, but he just hasn't discovered it yet.
Just as Qin Feng was using his earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a technique used in Chinese fantasy novels) to search for spirit stones, the surroundings suddenly began to shake violently.
He was so startled that he immediately fled from the ground and flew up to a height of a thousand meters before stopping.
He looked down at the ground with surprise and doubt, and saw that the ground within a radius of tens of kilometers was shaking violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
But Qin Feng knew that this was not an earthquake, but a tremor caused by a powerful demonic beast.
Because he sensed an overwhelming demonic aura erupting from the ground.
He released his divine sense to investigate, and his expression changed drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned and fled.
Just as Qin Feng escaped, a golden figure burst out from underground, roaring angrily in the direction Qin Feng had fled.
"Damn human, how dare you kill my son! I will tear you to pieces!"
