The pitch-black night enveloped the earth.
Ye Xuan sat cross-legged on the tree canopy, his figure as still as a sculpture.
He carefully absorbed and exhaled the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to cultivate, while also diverting some of his attention to vigilantly scan his surroundings.
In such a perilous place, he dared not devote himself entirely to cultivation; doing so would only hasten his death.
As streams of Spiritual Qi flowed into his body, Ye Xuan's weary body gradually relaxed.
His depleted resources began to recover rapidly.
But just as Ye Xuan was enjoying his cultivation, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly opened his eyes.
Through his Absolute Domain, he clearly sensed that the large python not far away had twitched its eyelids and then slowly opened its eyes.
"This giant python has actually awakened?"
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly became more vigilant.
Although he didn't think the giant python could detect him, the fact that it had awakened at this moment meant he still had to be on high alert.
Otherwise, if we were killed by this giant python, wouldn't we be so wronged that we'd want to cry?
After the giant python opened its eyes, its two large, bell-like eyes immediately emitted a cold, green light.
It actually slightly turned its enormous head and slowly looked towards the area where Ye Xuan was.
Upon noticing this, Ye Xuan was startled, and the hairs on his body stood on end uncontrollably, making his scalp tingle.
How did the giant python discover him when he was so well hidden?
Keep in mind, he has been hiding here for over two hours.
Ye Xuan was utterly shocked and incredulous.
At the same time, the giant python looked in Ye Xuan's direction and slowly opened its sharp, triangular maw.
Several fangs were exposed, like sharp thorns, giving a very sinister and terrifying feeling.
As the snake flickered its tongue, drops of dark green liquid slid down, hissing as it corroded the tree branches and leaves, clearly indicating that it contained potent poison.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan completely understood that the giant python had discovered him and decided to attack.
In this situation, he naturally couldn't continue pretending to know nothing and hiding here. He had to get rid of this beast as soon as possible and then move to another location.
Otherwise, any sound would quickly attract many demonic beasts.
Although the monsters in this area aren't very high-level, it's still their territory.
If there are too many demonic beasts, they can kill him.
Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with cold light, and all 108 meridians in his body were fully opened, causing his Spiritual Qi to surge wildly and roar.
At the same time, he had already grabbed the long sword from behind his back, ready to attack at any moment.
But just as Ye Xuan was about to make his move, a faint sound of footsteps suddenly came from afar.
The sudden sound of footsteps not only startled Ye Xuan slightly, but even the giant python was clearly taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, a low murmur of discussion followed.
"Brother, where exactly did that kid hide? So much time has passed and there's still no trace of him."
"Damn it, who knows? That bastard is incredibly fast. Our Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad, with over ninety members, searched with all our might, but we found absolutely nothing."
"Do you think he might have already been killed by the monsters and become their food?"
"How would I know? But I doubt it. That kid was able to kill eight of our brothers in such a short time, which proves he's not simple. He shouldn't be that easy to kill."
"Indeed, that guy is a sword cultivator, that's terrifying enough. But no matter how terrifying he is, daring to offend my Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad means certain death!"
Along with the sound, six cultivators dressed in gray robes quickly came into Ye Xuan's sight.
The six people appeared very cautious, moving forward carefully while constantly scanning their surroundings.
In their hands, they all gripped sharp blades, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
However, they did not exude any aura, nor did they leak any Spiritual Qi.
Clearly, they were also worried that unleashing their power would attract powerful demonic beasts.
" The Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad?"
When Ye Xuan saw these six people, he was slightly taken aback at first, but then his eyes immediately lit up.
"Damn it, looks like you're here to cause me trouble too. In that case, don't blame me for giving you a big gift."
Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a vicious plan already taking shape.
At the same time, the python turned its head and suddenly looked at the six people.
Anger seemed to surge in its bright green eyes, and as its gaping maw flickered its tongue more frequently, it secreted even more green venom.
However, it didn't move, but just stared coldly at the six members of the Wolf Fang Demon Hunting Squad.
It's unclear whether they were waiting for the right opportunity, disdaining to make a move, or afraid that taking action would "awaken" Ye Xuan.
The six members of the poor Wolf Fang Squad were completely unaware of the giant python's presence, continuing to talk and cautiously move forward.
"Damn it, after I get out of here, I definitely need to find a woman to relax with. This period has been exhausting."
"Hehe, that Flower Snake from the Blood Demon Mercenary Group is pretty good, just thinking about it is exciting. It's just that that woman is too difficult to deal with."
"Damn it, don't get any ideas. That woman is not someone you can control or subdue. She's a poisonous rose, don't go looking for trouble!"
The six people were talking in hushed tones, their voices low but unrestrained.
Especially when they talked about the Flower Snake, their eyes blazed with intense heat, and they could feel their blood surging.
Of course, amidst that fervor, there was also a deep sense of apprehension and fear.
At the same time, their steps had shifted away from Ye Xuan's area, and they slowly moved to the other side.
Although they carefully scanned the treetop where Ye Xuan was for a long time, unfortunately, the night was too dark and they couldn't see anything.
Not only did they not notice Ye Xuan, but they also failed to detect the giant python.
Because the giant python had returned to its previous motionless state, and had closed its eyes and huge mouth.
"Holy crap, are they trying to screw me over?!"
Ye Xuan also noticed the giant python's actions and couldn't help but curse under his breath.
The next moment, he exerted a little force with his toes, and with a crack, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
What was that sound?
There's someone over there!
"Who?"
The six reacted extremely quickly, stopping abruptly and turning to look at Ye Xuan Ye Xuan as soon as he made a sound.
At the same time, their auras suddenly erupted, and with a whooshing sound, they rushed towards Ye Xuan almost simultaneously.
