19: Battle Python

This method was clearly effective.

Every time they threw away a heavenly spirit stone, they were able to temporarily distract the guardian monster's attention.

This bought them a lot of escape time.

They ran wildly.

Everyone finally managed to reach the edge of the Nether Zone.

All of them had bitter expressions, looking as if they had eaten a dead rat.

"I only have about ten catties of heavenly spirit stone left."

"You're much better off than me; I only have a little over seven catties."

"Don't even talk about it, I'm the unluckiest. I originally had over sixty catties of heavenly spirit stone, and now I only have about five catties left."

"Most of the hard work during this period has gone to waste."

Many people couldn't help but say.

More than five catties of heavenly spirit stone was, in fact, a bit more than what they usually harvested when coming to the Forbidden Ground.

After all, every time they collected heavenly spirit stones, everyone had to share them equally.

And collecting heavenly spirit stones also required dealing with guardian demon spirits, so each collection was extremely dangerous, and naturally, they wouldn't get many heavenly spirit stones.

But after having once obtained fifty or sixty catties of heavenly spirit stone, the five or six catties in hand instantly lost their appeal.

There was simply no comparison between the two!

The huge psychological gap made everyone extremely depressed.

"Alright! Don't be depressed; I will make up for the heavenly spirit stones you are missing."

At this moment, Shen Xi finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Xi in disbelief, seriously doubting if their ears were playing tricks on them.

Not only did Shen Xi give them one-tenth of the heavenly spirit stone harvest this time, but he also proactively offered to compensate them for their losses?

This was as incredible as a fairy tale.

One must know that, whether in the wilderness or the Federation, in this era, most people only consider themselves.

Companions who ventured together could turn against each other for a single treasure, let alone the fact that everyone had previously planned to kill Shen Xi.

Even so, was Shen Xi still willing to compensate them for their losses?

"Don't worry, I, Shen Xi, keep my word. It's just that I can't take out the heavenly spirit stones now; we'll talk about it after we leave the Forbidden Ground."

Shen Xi didn't suffer too many losses during this escape.

The storage bag seemed to have the effect of isolating the guardian monster's perception. When others threw away a certain amount of heavenly spirit stones, the guardian monster stopped chasing them.

This also meant that Shen Xi suffered no losses.

Moreover, with the collection during this period, he had at least five tons of heavenly spirit stone in his storage bag, so taking out a portion to subsidize everyone wouldn't pain him.

Furthermore, a bold idea emerged in Shen Xi's mind: perhaps he could make a deal with Li Chengfeng and his group.

"Thank you, Brother Shen!"

"I increasingly regret speaking ill of Brother Shen back then."

"It's our luck to follow Brother Shen; eating well, drinking well, and changing our Family's fate will no longer be a problem."

"Hahaha, my mood has instantly improved quite a bit."

Everyone spoke up, thanking Shen Xi from the bottom of their hearts.

They were all from poor families, and only they knew how important these heavenly spirit stones were.

This was something that could change a Family's destiny.

Only Li Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Shen, will this cause you any loss?"

Shen Xi smiled slightly, "Loss is inevitable, but it's within an acceptable range. Don't say so much; let's leave the Forbidden Ground first."

Everyone no longer hesitated and directly rushed towards the core area of the Nether Zone.

Along the way, it was unobstructed, and they didn't encounter a single ghost.

Everyone took the teleportation array and left the Forbidden Ground.

As soon as they left the Forbidden Ground, a pungent stench instantly surged forth.

The giant python had not left; it had been guarding outside the Forbidden Ground all along.

"You want to kill me so badly? Then you shouldn't leave!"

Seeing this, Shen Xi frowned, and a murderous intent boiled over.

He unleashed the Benlei Eight Styles, actively attacking the giant python with the force of thunder.

Seeing this, the giant python was furious.

A few days ago, when it saw him, he was like an ant, a small worm that could only turn and run. Now he dared to actively attack it, perhaps he was tired of living.

The giant python swung its tail, intending to strike Shen Xi's body.

Shen Xi immediately dodged like a ghost, then punched the giant python at its vital seven-inch spot.

The giant python cried out in pain, and its body began to twist frantically.

However, how could Shen Xi let go of this excellent opportunity?

He unleashed the Benlei Eight Styles to its fullest, with an endless stream of attacks landing on the giant python's body. In just a few breaths, the giant python was already covered in wounds.

"Hiss!"

In a fit of rage, the giant python directly extended its crimson tongue and spewed out a mouthful of dark green liquid.

"You still want to use poison on me? You overestimate your poison and underestimate my strength too much."

Shen Xi dodged the venom with a flash.

His Realm was now at the same level as the giant python's. As long as the opponent's venom didn't enter his body, mere poisonous Qi could no longer threaten him.

As for Li Chengfeng and his group.

It was only after Shen Xi and the giant python began to fight that they belatedly realized the source of the stench.

They quickly retreated to a distance, not daring to get close to watch.

This battle was simply not something they could get involved in.

"Is this Brother Shen's true combat power?"

"It's too terrifying!"

"We were so deluded back then, trying to kill him and seize his treasures; we must have been out of our minds."

"Brother Shen is mighty, Brother Shen is domineering! When will I also be able to step into the Yuánqì Realm!"

Everyone couldn't help but discuss.

Shen Xi's figure, at this moment, was like a God of War, leaving an indelible mark in their hearts.

"As the only Martial Artist in the Yuánqì Realm in the team besides Brother Shen, I can responsibly tell you that although Brother Shen's Realm is only the Minor Completion of Vital Energy, he is definitely the top existence among those at the Minor Completion of Vital Energy."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to suppress a giant python of the same Minor Completion of Vital Energy Realm!"

Amateurs watch the excitement, while experts watch the technique.

Only Li Chengfeng could most intuitively feel how astonishing Shen Xi's current performance was.

One must know that, under the same Realm, Yao Beasts are generally stronger than Martial Artists.

After all, in terms of physique, Yao Beasts have too great an advantage.

But Shen Xi was able to suppress a Yao Beast of the same Realm, which was enough to demonstrate his combat power.

This was an undisputed invincible existence within the same Realm.

This made Li Chengfeng even more worshipful of Shen Xi.

Brother Shen was definitely a Prodigy-level figure.

Only Prodigies among Martial Artists could Breakthrough to an extremely high Realm in the shortest possible time.

And only Prodigies could defeat Yao Beasts of the same Realm.

Compared to Shen Xi's astonishing performance at this time, Li Chengfeng felt as if all his years of Cultivation had gone to waste.
