When my cultivation is recovering, the sect comes to persuade me to quit? I agree!

After walking forward for a while, Lu Chen hurriedly stopped.

Out of instinct, Lu Chen always felt that there were dangers lurking nearby.

This feeling of uneasiness made Lu Chen's heart surge.

When he turned his head, he was stunned for a moment!

There were two lights as big as lanterns rising high from the ground!

When the two beams of light rose into the air, Lu Chen instantly threw the torch over.

In the light of the torch, he could see clearly that it was a giant python, and the two lanterns were... the python's eyes!

The giant python stretched out its tongue, which was more than ten feet long.

"呲呲!"

Lu Chen spoke hurriedly.

"Run!"

Rong Xueer also saw all this, and the two of them ran forward desperately.

Lu Chen threw the torch away, and everything in front of him was pitch black. According to his memory, he dodged the plants. At the same time, he took out another torch from the space, lit it with a fire starter, and then handed the torch to Rong Xueer.

Rong Xueer went over to the torch and ran forward desperately.

The giant python's winding body chased after Rong Xueer, opened its bloody mouth in an instant, and bit Rong Xueer.

As soon as Lu Chen handed the torch to Rong Xueer, he saw the scarlet mouth of the giant python!

In a hurry, Lu Chen grabbed Rong Xueer's waist, pulled and pushed her hard towards him, and pushed her directly forward.

The giant python bit down but missed!

Lu Chen appeared in front of him at this time, and the giant python opened its bloody mouth again and pounced on Lu Chen!

Rong Xueer's legs were so weak with fear, but she knew she couldn't stop. If she stopped, death would be the only thing waiting for her.

Lu Chen exerted force on his feet and jumped to the left with all his might, pressing his body against the vegetation. The giant python's mouth missed and its lower lip touched the ground.

Lu Chen took advantage of this opportunity, took the dagger in his hand and slashed it towards the side of the giant python's face!

When the dagger touched the giant python, it was like stabbing into steel, and sparks flew instantly!

Even so, the giant python's defense was not broken.

"All right?"

Lu Chen was terrified.

Monsters like giant pythons have relatively high defenses, but I didn’t expect them to be so terrifying!

Lu Chen gripped the dagger tightly, and the expression on his face became serious again.

It seems that if you want to hurt this giant python, you must attack its eyes and vital points.

Lu Chen wrapped his body around and hid it behind the vegetation. At the same time, he took out the ancient sword.

Having lost sight of Lu Chen, the giant python set its sights on Rong Xueer in front of it.

Lu Chen immediately summoned his spiritual power and unleashed a rain of swords.

Countless sword energies appeared in the sky above and fell down like raindrops.

However, this attack has limited lethality and cannot break the python's defense.

The reason why Lu Chen did this was to divert the giant python's attention. While he used the rain of swords, he also used the Ice Soul Moment.

He came to Rong Xueer's right side, and the giant python opened its bloody mouth and bit Rong Xueer again.

At the same time, Lu Chen leaped up and swung his sword towards the giant python's eyes.

He used it very skillfully and used his body skills to the extreme. The giant python focused all its attention on Rong Xueer. The moment he discovered Lu Chen, Lu Chen had already appeared in front of him.

The ancient sword swung and hit the giant python's eyes.

The giant python roared violently, its body curled up in pain, and its tail swept wildly without purpose.

Lu Chen put away his sword, took Rong Xueer's hand, and leaped forward.

The surrounding vegetation was swept all over the place by the giant python, and in an instant, a blank area appeared.

With blood flowing from its cheeks, the giant python raised its head and pounced on Lu Chen and Rong Xueer again.

Lu Chen frowned.

If it were him, he would still have a way to escape.

But there was Rong Xueer next to him, who had obviously become a burden to him!

If they don't get rid of this giant python, their situation will become increasingly dangerous.

Lu Chen spoke to Rong Xueer.

"Run forward, I'll find a way to kill him!"

Rong Xueer spoke.

"Brother Lu! You must be careful!"

Lu Chen let go of Rong Xueer's hand, drew out the ancient sword, and hid in the vegetation beside him.

The giant python chased after Rong Xueer relentlessly after seeing her. When its body passed by Lu Chen's hiding place, Lu Chen used the Ice Soul Moment!

He raised the sword with both hands and stabbed the giant python in the vital spot!

This size is not specific, but to be precise it is a proportion. Only this place is the python's vital point and also the weakest point of its defense.

This giant python is a high-level demon beast. It has not yet reached the level of a spiritual beast. What's more, it has lost one eye. The area where Lu Chen is located happens to be its blind spot!

The bone swords held by Lu Chen were all embedded in the giant python's body.

The giant python was stung and its body began to roll over in pain, dragging Lu Chen's body with it and slamming hard to the ground.

Lu Chen's body was in mid-air. In order to avoid injury, he had to give up the ancient sword and fall to the ground.

With one jump, he avoided the giant python's fall.

The python's body began to twitch and curl up...

Originally, the ancient sword would not be fatal, but the giant python turned its body back and forth, the hilt of the sword was exposed and in contact with the ground, and the sword began to slide inside the giant python's body.

The more it slides, the more painful the python will feel, and the more it will curl up!

This also accelerated his death!

Large amounts of blood gushed out from the wound, and the wound grew bigger and bigger until the ancient sword fell from his body.

The giant python lost too much blood and after a while, it stopped struggling and its body went limp.

Rong Xueer also saw all this while hiding in the distance, and her mouth opened wide in surprise.

Rong Xueer didn't expect that Lu Chen could actually kill such a huge python!

Lu Chen took out another torch and came to the giant python's corpse.

He found the fallen ancient sword, wiped the blood off it, and put it away.

Rong Xueer came forward with courage.

"This monster... is dead?!"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Fortunately, this is just a high-level demon beast. If it advances to a spirit beast, I will not be its opponent anyway."

Lu Chen felt fortunate for this.

There are treasures all over the giant python. The first is the demon pill, the second is the snake gall, and the third is its snake skin and scales.

These snake scales can be broken down into small pieces through special means and used as soft armor to protect the body, which has a particularly good defensive effect.

Therefore, the scales of high-level pythons can often be sold at a good price.

Rong Xueer looked around vigilantly and said with uneasiness in her heart.

"Brother Lu, are there other monsters here?"

Lu Chen was unsure, but there was such a strong smell of blood here, if there were other monsters, they would have been alarmed long ago.

But now everything around is still quiet.

"I don't know either. We should be alert. The smell of blood here is too strong. Let's go somewhere else."

Since entering here, Lu Chen has been on guard.

I’m just afraid that other monsters will suddenly rush out.

But according to the current situation, it is still safe for now.

Lu Chen put the things into the bag and started looking for an exit according to his previous plan.

They walked around the outer wall of the cave, but there was only one entrance.

Lu Chen was puzzled.

Since there is a giant python living here, there must be an exit. Could it be that the exit is not here?

While thinking, Lu Chen looked around again.

Rong Xueer spoke.

"It looks like there is no hole here."

"But this is the only hole we entered. If the exit is not here, could it be somewhere near the holes we saw just now?"

Lu Chen thought of the intricate cave entrance just now and frowned slightly.

If there are only a few roads at hand, they can explore them one by one. At worst, if they take the wrong one, they can turn back and take the second one.

However, it would be very difficult to eliminate dozens of holes one by one.

Moreover, no one can tell what is in front of each hole, so more time is wasted.

For example, this time there is a giant python living in the cave. If you encounter a spiritual beast, the situation you will face will be even more dangerous.

But there is no other way now. If they don’t find a way to find the entrance to the cave, they can only stay alive in the cave.

Although the food they brought with them was enough, after a while they would run out of food and the only thing waiting for them was starvation to death.

Lu Chen sighed.

"If we really can't find the exit here, it should be the place we were just at. We have to go back and look for the exit again."

Rong Xueer bit her lip and was at a loss for a moment.

"With so many holes, how should we choose?"

Lu Chen walked forward holding a torch.

"When the time comes, we'll make plans based on the situation."

In fact, Lu Chen was also confused.

Just now he felt that his choice was right, because there were traces of friction at the entrance of the cave, which were obviously left by the giant python.

But who knew that there would be no way out at the end.

If we continue to explore in the same way as before, we may encounter even more dangerous situations.

The two people walked one in front and one behind for a long time before they returned to the gathering place at the cave entrance.

This time, Lu Chen did not choose those holes with traces of friction.

He stood at the entrance of each hole and listened with his ears, and even stepped on a few hairs from his head to see if there were any changes in the position of the hair at the entrance of the hole.

If the hair moves, it means there is wind in the cave and there may be a way out.

Using this method, they tested each hole, and to their delight, they found signs of hair swaying in three holes among the many holes.

And if you listen with your ears, you can hear the sound of the breeze.

Now Lu Chen and Rong Xueer face three choices.

Lu Chen turned and looked at Rong Xueer.

"Which hole do you think we should choose?"

Xue'er thought about it and simply pointed to a hole and said.

"Just now we chose the one with traces at the cave entrance, but we encountered a giant python. This time we will choose the one without traces. Let's choose this one!"

No one knew which of the three holes was the correct choice. Since Rong Xueer gave the answer, Lu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Let's explore this side. Even if we can't find a way out, we can come back and explore other caves. We will eventually find an exit."

After saying this, Lu Chen, holding a torch in his hand, walked towards the cave entrance that Rong Xueer had pointed to.

The dark cave entrance was unusually quiet; all they could hear was the sound of stones hitting their feet.

Rong Xueer was afraid of the dark, and because she had just been attacked by a giant python, she followed Lu Chen closely, fearing that any sudden danger might occur.

The two people's pace did not slow down, but the road ahead seemed to be getting longer and longer.

Obviously, the cave entrance they chose was more slender than the cave where the giant python was previously located.

Walking around, except for the area illuminated by the fire, everything else was pitch black.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen discovered that there was spiritual energy in the cave.

Lu Chen frowned again.

Although the spiritual energy is a bit thin, it can be found at the entrance of the cave. Could there be a spiritual mine deep in the cave?

However, this spiritual energy is so elusive and illusory that one cannot perceive it at all unless one feels it for oneself.

He thought to himself as he continued moving forward.

But as they went deeper, the spiritual energy became more and more abundant and denser, which made Lu Chen's eyes light up.

"Do you feel it? There is spiritual energy here."

Rong Xueer also noticed this.

"Just now, I also felt that the spiritual energy was very thin. Maybe there will be spiritual mines ahead."

Lu Chen felt it carefully for a while and found it a little strange.

"I feel that this is slightly different from the spiritual energy nurtured in the spirit stone. It seems to be more refined."

Rong Xueer was extremely excited.

"This could be the mineral crystal that has been nurtured in the Starfall Forest for many years. If that's the case, then we won't give up on this journey!"

Mineral crystals are the essence of spiritual stones. The spiritual energy they store is even purer and is regarded as a treasure by all practitioners.

The mineral crystals sold in the outside market are all priced sky-high and in very small quantities. They are generally controlled by various sects or the royal family.

Lu Chen also became interested, and the two of them moved forward a lot faster.

As the spiritual energy became denser and denser, Lu Chen suddenly heard some mixed sounds in front of him, and he hurriedly stopped.

"Wait a minute, what's that noise?"

Rong Xueer listened for a while and then spoke.

"It sounds like there are a lot of rocks colliding, but I don't know what it is exactly. However, judging from the number of sounds, if it is monsters, there should be a lot of them."

Lu Chen immediately became alert, but since he had already arrived here, there might be a spirit stone mine ahead, and he must not miss this opportunity.

Lu Chen took out the heart of the mineral vein and used it to absorb the spiritual energy emitted by it.

"Since we're already here, we have to go and take a look no matter what."

Rong Xueer's little face also showed excitement, and there was a hint of determination in her voice.

"Since there is a possibility of a spirit stone mine ahead, it is worth it even if we take some risks."

The two men made up their minds, and Lu Chen took a step forward and continued to move forward.

Just as they left, a strange cry suddenly appeared.

Looks like a horse but not a horse; looks like a donkey but not a donkey.

And the sound is very loud.

A roar was heard, and the sound caused the stones in the cave to roll off the stone walls!

Lu Chen and Rong Xueer simultaneously covered their ears with their hands.

There was another roar here.

The entire cave seemed to begin shaking at the roar.

Fortunately, the sound did not continue and soon passed.
