Chapter 125 Unexpectedly, a Giant Python Was Hidden in the Mountains

However, the number of venomous snakes that intercepted the two was outrageous; they seemed to spring up from the depths of the earth, stretching endlessly.

Although Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming were both very strong, they also felt the increasing pressure.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow shot into the sky, accompanied by an even more ear-piercing hiss. A giant python emerged from nowhere, its body as large as a mountain, coiling around them and opening its blood-red maw to bite at Li Hengzhi and Bai Heming.

"Watch out!" Bai Heming's short sword transformed into a streak of silver light, blocking the giant python's attack. Li Hengzhi, on the other hand, leaped up and slashed at the python's neck with his sword.

Despite its enormous size, the python was also incredibly agile, its body retracting to avoid Li Hengzhi's sword strike.

"Interesting. I thought it was the statue on the pillar that had come to life." Seeing that his move had missed, Li Hengzhi twirled his sword and raised it again to meet the giant python.

Seeing that Li Hengzhi was locked in combat with the giant python, Bai Heming stayed by Li Hengzhi's side and cleared away the other snakes around him.

Seeing Bai Heming's thoughtful gesture, Li Hengzhi smiled slightly, kicked off the wall, and used the momentum to rise into the air again. He swept up the fallen leaves on the ground with his longsword and, under the cover of the leaves, thrust the sword directly at the back of the giant python's neck.

The giant python hissed in pain, its body swaying unsteadily, yet it was not completely defeated. Looking at the withered leaves that obstructed its view, it angrily opened its mouth and spewed out a thick cloud of poisonous mist, filling the air.

"Get out of the way!" Li Hengzhi shouted, leaping off the snake and pulling Bai Heming back quickly. The moment the poisonous mist spread, withered leaves instantly pulverized, and even the snakes that couldn't escape in time died in the mist; the terrifying toxicity was chilling.

Li Hengzhi quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out the pills inside, and handed it to Bai Heming. "Anti-poison pills, they should be able to resist for a while, but we still need to resolve this as soon as possible."

Bai Heming took it and swallowed it whole. The two of them then tore off the corners of their clothes and tied them to their faces as a simple form of isolation.

"This giant python is no ordinary creature; we must be careful." Li Hengzhi frowned, his gaze fixed on the roaring python. Even from some distance, he could still smell the foul, rotten stench emanating from its mouth.

Bai Heming nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I have a plan. You distract it, and I'll seize the opportunity to strike." His expression was firm, clearly indicating that he already had a solution.

Li Hengzhi looked at Bai Heming quietly for two seconds, then whispered, "Be careful in everything, and don't push yourself too hard."

Bai Heming patted Li Hengzhi's shoulder to reassure him, and then the two went their separate ways.

Li Hengzhi once again drew his sword and charged towards the giant python, provoking its attention. The python, enraged by the sight of the human who had just injured it, opened its massive jaws again and lunged at Li Hengzhi.

Bai Heming seized the opportunity to quickly circle around to the side of the giant python, his short sword flashing in his hand as he thrust out several swords in the blink of an eye.

The giant python roared in pain, its body thrashing violently as it tried to break free from the two men's attacks. However, thanks to Li Hengzhi's skillful dodging and control, the python failed to succeed.

Bai Heming's short sword moved like a whirlwind, its attacks skillful and precise, each strike aimed directly at the giant python's vital points.

The giant python let out mournful howls, which seemed to attract even more snakes. Li Hengzhi, seeing the swarming snakes growing larger, his expression darkened, and he shouted to Bai Heming, "They're blinding!"

Seizing the opportunity, the two men simultaneously raised their swords and thrust them towards the giant python's eyes. The python was taken aback by their attack, and it was this moment of hesitation that allowed Li Bai and his companion to capitalize on the chance. Even though they didn't completely blind the python, they caused it to hiss in pain, its body swaying increasingly unsteadily until it finally collapsed to the ground, landing directly on top of the snakes surrounding it.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's leave first." Li Hengzhi didn't continue to check on the giant python. Instead, he grabbed Bai Heming's hand and turned around to run quickly back the way they came.

The way out was easier than they had imagined. The snakes stopped at the very edge of the clearing, seemingly unable to leave. But the two did not dare to let their guard down, and only stopped slowly after they were completely out of the cave and saw the light of day again.

"I never expected such a giant python to be hidden in the mountains. It seems this cave must hold a secret." Bai Heming let out a long sigh, fine beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.

Li Hengzhi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped Bai Heming's face, saying, "Yes, maybe that secret is behind that stone door."

Bai Heming nodded and said firmly, "Let's go back and discuss it with the seniors. I will definitely open that stone door next time we come. Luckily you were here this time, otherwise it would have been too dangerous."

Li Hengzhi wore a faint smile as he gently wiped the bloodstains from Bai Heming's face. "If it weren't for your plan, we'd probably still be trapped in this cave."

The two smiled at each other. Then, Bai Heming seemed to think of something and took out a square cloth from his pocket. When the cloth was opened, a piece of white stone was revealed. This exquisite stone actually emitted a soft light.

"Look, what's this? I just found it by chance around that open space," Bai Heming asked curiously.

Li Hengzhi narrowed his eyes, carefully examining the "stone" in Bai Heming's hand, then shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe it's some kind of jade, or some kind of fluorite? Otherwise, let's go back and ask Young Master Yu. He might know a lot about these kinds of things."

Upon hearing Li Hengzhi's words, Bai Heming had no choice but to put the stone away first, and then the two of them walked towards the pool at the foot of the mountain.

"I wonder if Senior Mu and the others are still fishing?" Bai Heming looked up at the position of the sun and was surprised to find that they had been in the cave for almost an hour.

"Let's go check first. If it's not there, then we'll go back to the Wutong Courtyard."

Having just experienced a fierce and arduous fight, the two were somewhat exhausted and could only move quickly through the forest.

The two hurried back to where Mu Qing was fishing, only to find that in addition to Mu Qing and Lin Feiran, Xuan Zhang and Gongsun Rang were also there.

Lin Feiran was the first to spot Bai Heming and his companion. Seeing their slightly disheveled appearance, he asked with some concern, "You're back. It looks like you ran into some trouble? Are you hurt?"

"Thank you for your concern, senior. We are fine. We just had a fight with a giant python." Bai Heming recounted all their discoveries and encounters along the way, and also took out the stone from his pocket again.

Upon hearing that a giant python had appeared, Mu Qing abandoned his fishing and immediately asked Bai Heming for its exact location. Had Lin Feiran not stopped him, Mu Qing would likely have grabbed his weapon and rushed to the cave on the spot.

"Don't stop me! That's a giant python, its gall bladder must be a good medicinal ingredient. Aren't you tempted?" Mu Qing had followed Lin Feiran for many years and knew where Lin Feiran's weakness lay. She kept saying she wanted to find medicinal herbs for Lin Feiran, never mentioning that she wanted to go because she was curious and wanted to have fun.

Xuan Zhang, who was listening nearby, burst out laughing without any politeness. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I say, Qing, your reason is too high-sounding. You want to go but you have to use Fei Ran as an excuse."

"So, do you want to go? If you want to go, I'll use you as an excuse." Mu Qing didn't care about Xuan Zhang's teasing at all, and even focused her attention on Xuan Zhang.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zhang quickly waved his hand and refused, saying, "I do want to go, but definitely not now. That giant python is half dead from being tormented by those two. If we go now, wouldn't we be taking advantage of them?"

Mu Qing seemed to be persuaded by Xuan Zhang, and nodded in agreement, saying, "What you said makes sense. Let's let the giant python live for a few more days and recover. I don't want it to be killed before I've had enough fun with it."

Bai Heming and Li Hengzhi stood to the side without speaking, listening to the conversation of the seniors, and couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Although they knew these seniors were exceptionally powerful and wanted to ask them for help in dealing with the giant python in the cave, they didn't expect the seniors to want to take action on their own.

I don't know whether to be happy that my senior is willing to help, or sad because the gap between us is too big.
