Inside the Water Origin Cave.
The sounds of collision echoed continuously.
The impact of flesh against flesh was dull and heavy!
Fang Hong's muscles bulged all over his body, his arms like demonic limbs as he furiously fought and clashed with the Great Python.
Originally, it had only revealed its head.
Now, as it battled Fang Hong, everyone could see the Great Python's entire body.
Its serpentine body, the size of a bathtub, writhed and coiled.
Its cavernous maw and its tail, which could whip the air like iron lashes, attacked alternately.
From time to time, it would coil its body, attempting to entangle Fang Hong.
However, Fang Hong's movements were clearly more agile than its own, giving it no opportunity to coil around him for a crushing embrace.
One must know that for pythons, the most dangerous attack is not the lash of its tail or the bite of its maw.
It is that terrifying constricting squeeze!
Looking at the Great Python's incredibly thick serpentine body, Fang Hong, despite knowing his physical body had become very strong, dared not easily test the python's constriction.
"Is this the combat of the Bone Refinement level?"
"It's truly something to aspire to."
Not far away, Wu Pengjing watched the battle unfolding before him with sparkling eyes, his gaze filled with excitement.
"Excellent, excellent, Mr. Fang's strength is actually this great."
"With such strength, plus the token, he will definitely be able to join the Star River Sect."
"And with his promise, the prosperity of my Zhou Family is in sight! Hahaha!"
Zhou Chengyuan also watched the battle before him, his heart brimming with excitement.
As for Zhang Wenshan, who had come in place of the Town Chief Zhang Wenbin, his gaze towards Fang Hong held a deeper, more meaningful look.
Behind them, their subordinates were all watching the battle.
At tense moments, they would exclaim in surprise.
The reason for this was naturally that the fear in their hearts had dissipated significantly.
Although their strength was not great, as martial artists, they possessed the basic ability to observe the situation.
They could all see that although the battle before them was fierce, Fang Hong was actually the one holding the advantage.
Seeing the increasingly exposed bone wounds on the Great Python's body, and the continuous flow of blood, the fear in everyone's hearts was also constantly diminishing.
Because they all knew that if this continued, the Great Python would soon die at the hands of Mr. Fang.
"Roar!!"
With a roar, the Great Python's ferocious head suddenly twisted.
Opening its cavernous maw, it lunged to bite Fang Hong fiercely.
"How dare you!!"
With a loud shout, Fang Hong's arms instantly swelled again.
The muscles in his hands twisted and coiled madly, surging with powerful inner strength.
He raised his palms abruptly, his fingers grasping as if lifting some invisible, heavy object.
Immediately after, meeting the Great Python's biting maw, he used his phantom grasp and smashed down heavily!
Great Falling Monument Hand – Shattering Monument Style!!
Boom!!
His hands smashed heavily onto the Great Python's head.
With two soft thuds, the Great Python's two serpent eyes, under the immense force, suddenly burst open.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the Great Python's mouth and from its two ruptured eye sockets.
Under that terrifying, immense force, the Great Python's head even seemed to crack, brain matter splattering.
Then, the entire snake head slammed heavily onto the ground, emitting a dull, heavy thud.
"Done!"
Fang Hong breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the Great Python on the ground, now a pool of blood, completely devoid of life.
"Mr. Fang, are you alright?"
Seeing that the battle was over, Zhou Chengyuan and the others immediately rushed over.
"Alright, I've killed this Great Python. Let's go inside quickly."
"I'm curious to see what this Great Python was guarding."
Fang Hong waved his hand, then stepped over the Great Python's corpse and walked towards the depths of the cave.
After a short while, everyone arrived at the deepest part of the cave.
It was slightly smaller than the area where Fang Hong had fought the Great Python.
About twenty to thirty square meters.
Above were a cluster of stalactites.
On the ground below, many rare and precious medicinal herbs grew.
In the center was a massive stalagmite, connecting the top and bottom.
However, the middle section of this giant stalagmite was broken.
This formed a hanging half-stalagmite above and a stalagmite platform below.
Drip by drip, liquid slowly flowed down the upper half-stalagmite.
Dripping into a small, concave pit in the center of the stalagmite platform below.
And along the edge of the stalagmite platform, several pale blue spirit mushrooms were growing.
"Water Origin Spirit Liquid!"
"Those are Water Spirit Ganoderma!!"
Upon seeing the liquid in the stone platform and the pale blue spirit mushrooms, Zhou Chengyuan exclaimed with ecstatic joy.
Wu Pengjing and Zhang Wenshan's expressions were also filled with surprise and elation.
However, Fang Hong's gaze was not on the pale blue spirit mushrooms at this moment.
"Water Origin Spirit Liquid..."
Fang Hong stared directly at the spirit liquid in the small pit at the center of the stone platform, his eyes burning with intensity.
The moment he saw this substance, Fang Hong could clearly feel his body's craving for it.
It was like a person dying of thirst in the desert suddenly seeing water.
It was a craving from the depths of his soul.
Conversely, Fang Hong did not feel such a strong sensation for the Water Spirit Ganoderma.
Sensing the intense craving from his body, Fang Hong turned directly to Zhou Chengyuan and the others.
"As we agreed before, I'll take forty percent of the spoils from this venture."
"I don't care how you divide it, but I'm taking all of that Water Origin Spirit Liquid!"
Fang Hong stated directly.
Sensing the resolute and determined tone in Fang Hong's words, Zhou Chengyuan and the other two exchanged glances and nodded obediently.
"Alright, but Mr. Fang, could you give me a few more of those Water Spirit Ganoderma?"
"I can take less of the other precious medicinal herbs."
Zhou Chengyuan asked.
However, before he could finish speaking, Wu Pengjing and Zhang Wenshan both spoke up.
"Why should you get more Water Spirit Ganoderma?"
"We can also take less of the other medicinal herbs."
"You!"
Hearing their words, Zhou Chengyuan's face showed a hint of anger.
"Patriarch Zhou, Water Spirit Ganoderma is a treasure that can improve a person's bone structure and aptitude. Who doesn't need it? Why should you get more?"
Zhang Wenshan said, completely ignoring the anger on Zhou Chengyuan's face.
"That's right, why should you hog such a precious treasure?"
Hearing their words, Fang Hong raised an eyebrow.
He hadn't known that Water Spirit Ganoderma could improve a martial artist's bone structure.
Logically, he needed it very much as well.
But with his golden finger, his need to improve his bone structure wasn't as strong.
So he was more inclined to trust the feeling in his own body.
Seeing the three people look at him again, Fang Hong said directly:
"I don't care how you divide it, I don't want the Water Spirit Ganoderma, I only want the Water Origin Spirit Liquid."
"As long as I get my share, that's fine."
"Alright, let's collect all these things first!"
Fang Hong said directly.
Hearing that Fang Hong agreed to exchange other precious medicines for the Water Spirit Ganoderma, the three of them were all pleasantly surprised.
Then, after hearing Fang Hong's words, they all brought their subordinates and quickly began collecting those precious medicines.
Fang Hong, on the other hand, took many porcelain bottles from several people.
Then he collected all the Water Origin Spirit Liquid.
In this operation, the most precious gains were, in the end, these three things.
The Water Origin Cave, the Water Origin Spirit Liquid, and the Water Spirit Ganoderma.
Among the three, the Water Origin Cave itself was actually the most precious.
After all, it was built on a water vein node, and the spiritual energy was extremely abundant.
It was a rare treasure land for cultivation.
Moreover, it could also be used to plant medicinal herbs, and over time, they could continue to collect Water Origin Spirit Liquid.
Then came the Water Origin Spirit Liquid and the Water Spirit Ganoderma.
The Water Origin Spirit Liquid could enhance qi and blood, and it had a very strong amplifying effect on the cultivation of the Blood Replacement and Organ Refinement realms.
It even had an effect on cultivation after the Organ Refinement realm.
However, Fang Hong did not know these things at this time.
The Water Spirit Ganoderma also had the effect of enhancing qi and blood.
However, it was obvious that in everyone's eyes, its most important function was to improve a martial artist's bone structure.
As for the other precious medicines and the corpse of the Great Python outside, they were all secondary.
They were merely bonuses to these three.
With many hands making light work, everyone quickly finished collecting everything.
Then, everyone left the cave and returned to the large ship.
Perhaps it was because they moved quickly enough, or perhaps the people from other factions arrived later.
When they all returned to the ship, they did not encounter anyone from other factions.
So, Zhou Chengyuan immediately ordered people to set sail and leave the place.
However, the fleet had just started moving, and after traveling for less than ten minutes.
They were intercepted in the middle of the river by two fleet with equally impressive momentum.
