Chapter 5: Barbarian Horned Python

  When he first bought "Three Elements Fierce Fire Decision", Chu Yi also spent 100 spirit stones to buy a book called "Cultivation Miscellaneous Collection". The book recorded various materials and ferocious beasts, because it was the cheapest data collection, with only over a thousand kinds of things listed. However, for Chu Yi, who had just entered the cultivation realm, it was extremely helpful.

  Among them is the existence of "Manjiao Cave Python", in the cognition of Xiuzhe, the fierce beast is actually a very low-level existence, and above it are Yao Shou and Ling Shou.

  At this moment, don't look at the giant python's massive body and clumsy appearance, but its moving speed is surprisingly fast. In just a few breaths, it has already moved to within thirty meters in front of Chu Yi.

  Chu Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a flame burst forth from his palm, propelling his body forward at an astonishing speed that was in no way inferior to the "Fierce Horned Python".

  It was clear that Chu Yi's actions had enraged the giant, and for this little thing that dared to provoke him, the Burrowing Python didn't think twice before opening its huge mouth. Suddenly, a foul wind blew, wanting to swallow Chu Yi in one gulp.

  However, under the premise that the barbaric horned python is a fierce beast, Chu Yi still dares to rush forward like this, and he naturally has his own judgment.

  Just as he was about to be kissed by the snake, Chu Yi suddenly made an urgent stop, changing his forward charge into a high jump, and his body flew up like a sharp arrow. He performed a flip that would have earned full marks from even the most demanding judges in a gymnastics competition, and landed steadily on the head of the python.

  Boom

  Chu Yi's palm, which had been accumulating momentum for a long time, heavily smashed onto the crimson red flesh horn on the forehead of the savage python in the cave.

  "...the savage horned serpent has copper skin and iron bones, but the flesh on its forehead is the weakest, it's where its life gate is located, once injured, it can cause it to lose its life immediately."

  In an instant, Chu Yi's mind flashed with the insights he had gained from that miscellaneous book, and in a very short period of time, he exerted himself to the limit, continuously slapping down three palms, instantly consuming nearly half of his true yuan power.

  However, what made Chu Yi anxious was that although the fierce fire palm had smashed the barbaric horned python into severe pain and also burned some of the flesh on its forehead, it still hadn't reached the point where it could kill it.

  The furious python's body was in pain as it wildly twisted its massive torso, trying to throw off Chu Yi.

  Maybe it's really the case that this big guy is having a bad year, because the width of the cave here hasn't reached the point where it can let such a huge object go crazy and roll around, instead allowing Chu Yi to continue standing on its forehead.

  "His own 'Fierce Flame Palm' had exhausted all his strength and yet it couldn't even break through the beast's defenses..."

  Chu Yi's face turned cold, but he had already made up his mind. The fierce flame palm was raised again, only this time when the flames rose, Chu Yi did not strike down with a single palm, but instead changed his palm to a finger and pointed downwards. A fiery red pillar that gathered all the power of the fierce flame palm fiercely pierced into the meat horn on the forehead of the python.

  Using a point to break the surface has always been the unorthodox method of attacking, for Chu Yi, a modern person with high academic qualifications, the full use of physical knowledge at this moment gave him an epiphany.

  "Hiss"

  A jet of milky white blood shot out from the fiery red flame pillar, and the fleshy horn on the python's forehead shrunk rapidly at a visible speed.

  At the same time, Chu Yi only felt a sudden surge of power under his feet, and he could no longer stabilize his body, tumbling down in disarray.

  Fortunately, at this moment, the python had gone completely mad due to this fatal injury and did not notice that Chu Yi, the culprit, had fallen beside it.

  Gathering the remaining true yuan force, Chu Yi's feet suddenly exerted force, and he flew away from the side of the last struggling and mad python with a speed far surpassing Liu Xiang's.

  "Don't get swallowed up by this behemoth, or you'll be crushed by its final madness."

  A moment later, Chu Yi finally let out a sigh of relief after witnessing the giant python, which was nearly thirty to fifty meters in length, smashing out over a hundred deep pits around the cave.

  "This thing... finally died..."

  This encounter didn't take up too much time, the Man-Eating Snake appeared as a hunter but ended up being hunted instead. As the victor of this battle, Chu Yi was now collecting his "spoils of war" with great regret.

  The barbaric horned python feeds on spiritual stones, and this three to five hundred meter long giant has at least two hundred years of fire refining, I don't know how many spiritual stones it has swallowed, its lifelong essence is gathered in the fleshy horn on its forehead.

  Generally speaking, if a cultivator intends to hunt and kill the Barbaric Horned Python, when blasting its forehead horn, they must prepare a container to collect the milky white essence blood that flows out after the horn is broken. This is a great tonic for spiritual energy and can also be used for alchemy. Although it's not considered a good thing, for cultivators in the Pre-Heaven realm, its value is absolutely not less than a thousand pieces of low-grade spirit stones.

  It's no wonder that Chu Yi has a regretful expression now.

  However, when Chu Yi suddenly discovered that near the body of this fierce horned python, more than a hundred tempting spirit stones were scattered around, his mood improved greatly.

  These spirit stones were the product of the frantic pounding of the cave walls by the dying Man-Eating Python, and it turned out that those holes of varying sizes on the wall were actually storage points for the spirit stones.

  This place is rich in spiritual stones, and this fierce horned python has occupied it for over a hundred years. Usually, after eating its fill and having nothing to do, it will smash open the cave walls where the spiritual stones are stored. Due to the large amount of spiritual stones here, which far exceeds its food intake, there have been many holes and caves formed over the past hundred years. The spiritual stones inside can be taken at will, saving the python the effort of digging when searching for food.

  Now all this is naturally cheaper for Chu Yi, the person who will get rid of it.

  Even Chu Yi himself was unclear how much time he had spent, only then did he take out all the spiritual stones that were within arm's reach in the surrounding cave walls.

  Looking at the spiritual stones piled up like a small mountain in front of him, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a sense of wealth.

  "Over a thousand pieces of spirit stones, at the very least they are low-grade spirit stones belonging to the five elements, and among them there are even eight mid-grade spirit stones. These can be exchanged for a large amount of contribution points, at the very least it should be in the tens of millions!"

  Rubbing the mid-grade fire spirit crystal in his hand, the warmth unique to mid-grade spirit crystals made Chu Yi feel warm and cozy all over, extremely comfortable.

  After his initial excitement, Chu Yi began to worry, with such a large amount of spiritual stones, how was he supposed to take them away?

  Chu Yi, this half-homeless wild child, didn't have any of those precious items like the Qian Kun storage bag that sects would distribute. These spirit stones weighed at least over a thousand catties, losing them was naturally not an option.

  Chu Yi thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. He thought to himself, "The first time I entered this cave, the fierce python I encountered was not the one I just killed, which means there is at least one more fierce python here, or even more. Rather than giving up the spiritual stone and proceeding forward rashly, it's better to digest it on the spot..."

  "In addition, I can use these many spirit stones to set up traps and hunt down other barbaric horned pythons, taking their flesh-horn spiritual liquid, which is a great tonic for pre-heavenly cultivators. The pre-heavenly realm has nine levels, and I'm just starting out, so I don't need any cultivation techniques or decisions. As long as I accumulate the spiritual energy in my body, I can stay here and cultivate, getting both flesh-horn spiritual liquid and a large amount of spirit stones. It's really hard to find a better place for cultivation than this."
