C69 (1/2)

Cang Yun and the others' bodies slightly bent like cheetahs as they quietly crawled over the forest. The surrounding dense grass quietly covered the bodies of the four people. Only they occasionally revealed a sharp probing gaze that firmly locked onto the hole in front of them.

This place was extremely close to the cave of the Purple Gold Python and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood. This caused Cang Yun and the rest to be unable to stop themselves from holding their breath.

”The Purple Golden Python is inside the cave. With Brother Cang's mental strength, you should have detected its aura, right?” Dong Fang Chen pointed at the hole in front of them as he spoke in a low voice.

Cang Yun nodded. He did indeed feel a strong presence from the spirit beast inside the cave. This presence, like what Dongfang Chen had said before, was filled with chaos and weakness. It was obvious that it was caused by the proximity of a baby.

”Heh, from my observations in the past few days, the Purple-Gold Python will at most give birth in a few days. At that time, its cultivation will drop to the lowest point, and that is when we make our move.” Dong Fang Chen smiled, a fiery light flashing past his eyes. If he succeeded this time, then the gains would be unimaginable. Even with his identity, he wouldn't be able to remain calm.

Cang Yun smiled noncommittally, his heart not as optimistic as Dongfang Chen's. ”The spirit creatures' greatest advantage is their powerful bodies. Therefore, even if their cultivation base falls too low, they might still be difficult to deal with.”

Dong Fang Chen retracted his smile and nodded in agreement. ”That's why I'm looking for you to cooperate.”

Cang Yun nodded without saying anything. Subsequently, everyone descended into silence as they waited …

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye six hours went by. During the long wait the excitement in their hearts gradually calmed down. They were like a group of hunters quietly waiting for the moment to hunt.

Sssii! *

At this moment, a hissing sound was finally emitted from the quiet and cold cave. When they heard the sound, the calm gazes of Cang Yun and the rest suddenly lit up. Soon after, they shot towards the cave entrance with burning gazes.

Under their attentive gazes, the movements in the cave gradually became more and more intense.

Dongfang Chen and Cang Yun's expressions slightly froze. They activated their mental energies to the max and held their breaths as they tried to sense the situation within the cave. As for Cang Yue and Cang Ling, they tightly gripped the weapons in their hands, ready to take action.

Time slowly passed by while they were waiting. Finally, the sounds from the cave became weaker and weaker. From what Cang Yun could sense, the aura from the spirit beast had fallen to an unprecedented level.

Hiss!

With a final hiss, the cave returned to its previous peaceful state.

”Attack!” A light suddenly flashed through Dongfang Chen's deep eyes. He let out a low shout and was about to make his move.

Pow!

However, just as Dongfang Chen was about to move, a hand grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. He turned around and saw the steady seriousness in Cang Yun's black eyes. ”Wait a moment.”

Eastern Chen hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but he eventually backed away as he'd said.

Hiss!

Just at this moment, a huge snake's tongue slowly emerged from the hole. Following that, a purplish-gold light flashed and a huge ferocious snake head carefully extended itself out. Its dark green eyes flickered with a cautious light.

Dong Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, and with a thought, five soul imprints appeared in a flash, forming a barrier that completely enveloped everyone's presence.

Everyone held their breath, not daring to make the slightest movement. Their gazes pierced through the gaps between the grass and immediately focused on the Purple gold Python.

After a while, the vigilance in the Purple Gold Python's eyes finally disappeared. It retracted its huge mouth and its aura weakened. Its eyes flashed with a deep sense of exhaustion before it finally retreated back into the cave.
