The giant python, engrossed in its chess game with Tan Eyu, failed to avoid the flying dagger in time. The python’s body was scratched by the dagger’s blade, leaving only a shallow gash.
The yellow flower python didn’t care about such a small wound. It only focused on the red shadow in front of it, preparing to swallow her and then catch the one under the tree as a snack. However, it didn’t know that a patch of flesh around the cut from Cheng Qi’s dagger suddenly burst with a layer of faint purple flames. Soon, the flames slowly penetrated into the python’s skin like poison and began to burn deeper.
Until the giant python realized something was wrong, the flames had already spread inside its body. The hot pain slowed down the python’s movements. Seizing the opportunity, Tan Eyu avoided its incoming giant mouth and rushed into the canopy. Her sharp nails dug into the python seven inches, causing the python to roll violently as if stimulated. In the chaos, Tan Eyu was swept away by the python’s tail and flew out.
Seeing this, Cheng Qi continued to activate his spiritual power. He pointed the dagger at the area where Tan Eyu had scratched the python and stabbed it in. The python’s rolling movements became weaker and weaker, and it gradually stopped after a while.
“It scared me to death,” Cheng Qi finally felt scared when he saw the giant python hanging on the tree seemed to have died, and kept patting his chest to calm down.
Tan Eyu couldn’t help but glance sideways at him. For a moment, she couldn’t tell whether this brat was serious or just pretending. With the momentum he controlled the dagger to kill the giant python just now, Tan Eyu suspected Cheng Qi had been pretending to be a pig and eat as the tiger.
“Do you think it’s dead?” Cheng Qi didn’t know what Tan Eyu was thinking, so he pointed at the python on the tree and asked.
“It should be dead. Just put it in the storage bag,” Tan Eyu said, looking at the python’s tail hanging in the air, then nodded.
“Oh,” Cheng Qi complied, taking out a brand-new storage bag as instructed. He threw it into the air and put away the prey on the tree. The white dagger also returned to his hand and was carefully put away.
As soon as the python’s huge body disappeared, the token it held down also fell from the tree.
Cheng Qi excitedly ran forward to pick it up but found that this piece was not a token, but more like a clue about the token. There were only three words “A Whole Day” written on the bronze medal, which was a bit confusing.
“I just said it’s not that easy. It’s really a waste of effort,” Tan Eyu muttered when she saw the riddle on the card. This kind of treasure hunt game was really boring.
“Let’s go,” Cheng Qi said, putting away the sign and preparing to continue setting off with Tan Eyu.
.
When the two figures disappeared, Cheng Feiyue, who was hiding not far away, came out of his hiding place and glanced at the direction where Cheng Qi disappeared. His heart could not calm down for a long time.
Cheng Feiyue had come here one step ahead of Cheng Qi and also found something on the tree. He was going to go up to get it but saw Cheng Qi coming here, so he simply hid and observed the situation. At this time, Cheng Feiyue was extremely glad that he had not been impulsive just now; otherwise, he would have become food in the belly of the giant python.
However, he could clearly see the scene where Cheng Qi and the yellow python were fighting just now. The yellow python was already a peak level three spiritual beast. Although there was a female helper of unknown origin, the python indeed died at the hands of Cheng Qi.
The skills he used were not what a warrior could have at all, and he had no vitality at all like Li Tianyan. All the signs only proved that Cheng Qi was also a cultivator.
So, Li Tianyan brought him in not because he wanted him to die in the secret realm, but because he knew Cheng Qi had the ability to protect himself. Thinking of this, Cheng Feiyue couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. He even scolded Cheng Qi for eating at the street. At that time, he must have looked like a fool who overestimated his abilities in their eyes.

Cheng Feiyue couldn’t help but look up at the empty tree canopy. The only thing that could instantly put the body of such a huge spiritual beast into a bag was a storage bag. Unexpectedly, this kind of thing was hard to find even in the Cheng family. But Cheng Qi actually had two of them.
.
“The person hiding in the dark just now seems to be your elder brother,” Tan Eyu said after the two of them walked some distance away.
“Yeah,” Cheng Qi nodded. He had already discovered the other party’s existence, but he just didn’t want to get too involved with Cheng’s family, so he simply pretended not to know.
After Cheng Qi got a clue, he continued walking eastward. It was not until evening that Tan Eyu found a secret place for him to hide and planned to spend the night there.
Hidden in the cracks of the boulders, Cheng Qi took out a piece of dry food and ate a few mouthfuls, but suddenly he missed Li Tianyan. Except for seclusion, Li Tianyan would always eat with him.
The dry food was eaten up in just a few mouthfuls. Cheng Qi clapped his hands and decided to go to bed early so that he could get up early the next day to continue his treasure hunt. Tan Eyu was keeping watch at night, so Cheng Qi had a worry-free sleep, and his first day in the secret realm passed like this.
.
Li Tianyan also found a safe place to spend the night in the wild. Just as he was about to continue on the road the next day, he encountered a burned corpse on the road before he had gone far.
He walked to the corpse and knelt down to check. All the things on this man’s body had been taken away. It was impossible to determine his identity for a while. However, what was puzzling was that Li Tianyan found that the corpse had been burned not long ago, and the bone age seemed to be that of a dying old man. How could an elderly person appear in this secret realm?
Li Tianyan thought for a while before a flash of light flashed in his mind. This man should not be an old man but someone who lost his life essence by some means. This battle gathered a group of young and proud men into a secret realm. Could it be they were here for this purpose?
