Chapter 1968: Lack of Experience

The python, seeing no way to flee, turned back and fought Ye Liuyun desperately, directly launching a Spiritual Soul Attack, its Soul rushing into Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

Then the python's head thudded onto the ground and ceased moving.

Ye Liuyun rushed over and used the Demon Slaying Sword to cut open the python's belly.

In just that short time, the person the python had swallowed was already corroded by its gastric fluid to almost nothing but a skeleton.

Ye Liuyun gestured to Sword Young Master and the others, then directly burned the corpse and bones to ash with fire.

He then collected the python's body and stored it as food reserves.

Xiao Lanbing and Xuan Wu had already dived into the deep pool to search for treasure.

Both of them were specifically summoned by Ye Liuyun.

Earlier, when a clone inspected the deep pool, it had already seen with Golden Pupil a giant python in the water, a massive python egg, and a golden lotus.

He stayed there to let everyone's aura attract the giant python out.

The giant python is at the fifth-level realm; trying to deal with it underwater would be exhausting, so it's better to lure it onto shore for a fight.

But unexpectedly, the Profound Heaven Sect members ignored the advice and deliberately acted as bait, which only made him more pleased with the outcome.

That group from the Profound Heaven Sect lacked combat experience and didn't react at all.

When they finally wanted to join the battle, they didn't know where to start.

The giant python's powerful tail swipes swept across, making them dare not approach.

Until the fight ended, they only struck from afar a few times, unable to even damage the python's scale armor.

After Ye Liuyun returned, he acted as if nothing had happened, merely letting the others continue resting.

After diving for a while, Xiao Lanbing and Xuan Wu both revealed their true forms and swam straight toward the pool bottom.

Ye Liuyun had already informed them of the situation at the bottom.

Upon reaching the bottom, each of them first uprooted the golden lotus, intending to take it back to plant in Ye Liuyun's Space World.

Inside were two lotus seeds; each ate one.

Then one of them drilled a hole in the python egg and directly absorbed all its essence.

However, the energy was too massive; once the golden lotus was digested, both of their realms became uncontrollable, and they refined themselves underwater, breaking through to a higher realm.

The Profound Heaven Sect disciples also thought of checking underwater, but feared danger they couldn't handle.

After hesitating for a long time, no one dared to lead the way down.

Then, seeing that Xuan Wu and Xiao Lanbing hadn't resurfaced for ages, they became even less willing to go down.

Meanwhile, Gong Wanting had not yet recovered from the gruesome death of her companion.

They waited over two hours, still seeing no one surface, and worried that Xuan Wu and Xiao Lanbing had met misfortune.

But Ye Liuyun and the others remained calm and composed.

After the Soul recovered, he even roasted the python meat and shared a good portion with them.

"Thank you for saving my life! If you hadn't warned me, I would probably have died!"

At this moment, Gong Wanting remembered to thank Ye Liuyun.

"It's what I should have done.

If you don't act recklessly, you won't die!"

Ye Liuyun simply said it plainly.

After a while, Xiao Lanbing and Xuan Wu finally leapt out of the deep pool.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil scanned their realms, seeing they had already broken through to the late fourth-level realm, and knew they had found the treasure.

Elder Song also noticed the change in their realms and immediately asked, "What's below?"

"Python egg.

Abundant energy!"

Xiao Lanbing answered directly.

"Huh?

Where is it?"

A Profound Heaven Sect disciple asked innocently.

"Of course we absorbed it all; otherwise we couldn't break through!"

Xiao Lanbing replied.

"You can directly absorb the python egg?"

Elder Song asked skeptically.

"Our technique is special!"

Xiao Lanbing explained offhand.

Now they had no reason to ask further.

Whoever obtained the resources kept them; they had no reason to fight over them.

"Is there more below?"

Another Profound Heaven Sect disciple asked innocently.

Xiao Lanbing ignored him.

Instead, they returned to Ye Liuyun's Space World and gave the golden lotus to Hua Xiangfen for planting.

Then, together with Xuan Wu, they went into the Xuan Kong Shi to consolidate their realms.

"You can go down and see; we'll wait here!"

Lei Ming, bored, teased the disciple.

"You're stupid! Even if there is more, do you think they'd leave it?"

Even the fellow disciples of that student could no longer tolerate his stupidity.

"It's getting dark, should we keep pushing forward or rest here for the night?

You decide!"

Ye Liuyun asked them.

Jian Gongzi and Elder Song used Transmission Voice to discuss: "Anyway, they're the ones scouting and adventuring, protecting us; even if we travel at night, the danger falls on them."

"But they are the ones protecting us.

The more they die, the more dangerous we become."

Elder Song reminded him.

"It doesn't matter; even if a few of them die, it won't have a big impact."

Jian Gongzi said indifferently.

He looks at Ye Liuyun and the others, takes any resources outright without sharing, which makes some jealous.

Elder Song let out a sigh in his heart; he also knows these disciples are not only inexperienced but each is arrogant.

But he can't persuade them; they won't listen.

Especially Jian Gongzi.

He is the Holy Son of the Sect, whose call is answered by all, and is accustomed to being fawned over.

This time he insisted on catching a dragon as a pet, so the Sect sent him to be protected.

"Then thank you all for your effort! Let's hurry to finish earlier.

So everyone can get home and rest early!"

Jian Gongzi even deliberately chose pleasant words.

"No problem, we were earning this money anyway.

Then let's set off."

Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile and did not refuse.

He immediately let the group depart, keeping the previous formation.

Jian Gongzi's petty thoughts were written all over his face; how could Ye Liuyun not see them?

But he didn't care at all.

He's seen many such Sect's favored sons; there are plenty of ways to give them a lesson.

They hadn't gone far when a swamp lay ahead.

The swamp emitted a faint poisonous gas; it wouldn't kill instantly, but would make people feel dizzy and nauseous.

Moreover, the swamp rang with booming frog calls, and many poisonous frogs that can spit toxic darts were marked on the map.

The Profound Heaven Sect's disciples were prepared and immediately took detox pills.

No one asked Ye Liuyun whether they had detox pills; instead some were gloating.

Only Gong Wanting, to thank Ye Liuyun for previously saving her life, took out a detox pill and handed it to Ye Liuyun.

"I only prepared this one extra, you use it first!"

"Thanks for your kindness! But before sunrise the gas may intensify, so keep it as a reserve! What if one isn't enough! Our lives are worthless, we don't care!"

Ye Liuyun declined, only thanked her for the kindness, and then had everyone shed their armor.
