The battle between the Hidden Tree Python and this Demon Hunting Team is still ongoing.

However, the situation has already changed.

This Demon Hunting Team has fallen completely to the lower side, hardly able to fight back.

Led by a Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm expert, and comprised entirely of Saint King Realm Martial Artist members, such a strong and experienced team.

Unexpectedly suffered a great loss against a single Hidden Tree Python?

If this were to spread, it would be hard for people to believe.

After all, the Hidden Tree Python’s strength at best is around the Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm.

"Everyone, run quickly."

At this moment, the leading Captain suddenly shouted urgently.

"You go first, I’ll hold off this beast."

"No way," a young member said ashamedly, "If it weren’t for my obstinance, insisting on hunting powerful demon beasts, how would we end up in this predicament."

"Captain, let me block, you all leave."

"Hahaha." The leading Captain laughed heartily.

In his hand, a large knife swung heavily, releasing a massive Sword Energy.

The huge Sword Energy struck the Hidden Tree Python, forcibly pushing it back for a distance.

"The demon beasts of the Golden Light Dangerous Land are different from elsewhere."

"Even the most experienced Demon Hunting Teams only dare to hunt demon beasts much weaker than themselves."

"You are still young, consider this a lesson."

"Captain." The members all looked ashamed.

The leading Captain advanced with his knife, single-handedly forcing back the Hidden Tree Python.

"Hurry up and leave." The leading Captain shouted.

"I can at most hold off this beast for ten breaths, you must retreat quickly."

"I will catch up with you afterward."

"Yes." The members responded, retreating successively.

The ensuing battle belonged to this Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm Martial Artist, and the Hidden Tree Python.

However, the situation was even worse than before.

In front of the Hidden Tree Python, this Seventh Layer of Saint King Realm Martial Artist was almost being crushed.

Judging from the strength of the Hidden Tree Python, it has evidently reached above the Eighth Layer of Saint King Realm.

After ten breaths.

This Demon Hunting Captain was already injured, looking quite miserable.

Just as he was about to turn around and flee, the massive body of the Hidden Tree Python had already encircled the area, blocking the escape route.

The huge python body began to contract rapidly.

Judging by this situation, the Demon Hunting Captain would certainly not have time to escape the blockade, and would be squeezed and entangled to death by the contracting python body.

"Bad."

Swoosh...

At this moment, a Sword Qi streaked across the sky.

The speed of the Sword Qi was extremely fast, flashing by in an instant.

When the Sword Qi dissipated, the enormous head of the Hidden Tree Python had been pierced through, dying instantly.

The huge body fell heavily to the ground, raising a large cloud of dust.

At the center of the python’s body, the Demon Hunting Captain’s face was pale.

Just now, he only had time to cry out in alarm, already knowing he had no chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, just as this thought emerged, the huge Hidden Tree Python was dead.

"I wonder which senior came to our rescue?" The Demon Hunting Captain reacted, cupping his hands towards the air.

However, there was no response in the air.

In the next second, not far away, under a towering tree, Xiao Yi slowly stood up.

It wasn’t until he made this obvious movement that the Demon Hunting Captain noticed.

"Hmm? Senior... No, it’s a young friend." The Demon Hunting Captain said this, still paying a heavy salute.

Xiao Yi’s expression was calm, he flicked his fingers, popping out a Healing Elixir.

The Demon Hunting Captain took it, his face shocked, "Peak of King-grade Healing Elixir?"

Upon saying that, the Demon Hunting Captain quickly opened his palm, "Thank you for your kind gesture."

"However, I already owe you a life-saving grace; gifting such precious an elixir, I would have no face to accept it."

"Take it." Xiao Yi said blandly, "You are the captain, having led them into this Golden Light Dangerous Land, you have the responsibility to lead them safely out."

"Now you are injured, your strength weakened by several folds compared to your peak state, how can you assure their protection?"

The word ’Captain’ is not merely the leader of a team or simply the strongest in the team.

"This..." The Demon Hunting Captain hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

In the next second, he nodded and accepted the elixir.

"Thank you, young friend, for your generous gift. In the future, if there is an opportunity, I, Xu Sandao, will surely repay with everything I have."

"If there’s anything needed, I absolutely won’t refuse even a bit."

Xiao Yi shook his head, said blandly, "No need, it’s just a small matter."

He himself is also a Demon Hunter and recognizes this profession.

When traveling outside, encountering such situations, it’s only reasonable to help if possible.

The Demon Hunting Captain glanced at Xiao Yi’s calm face, paid another salute, and said, "I must catch up with my companions now, I won’t disturb you, young friend."

"Go." Xiao Yi nodded.

"Farewell." The Demon Hunting Captain flicked away.

He didn’t take the Demon Beast Core of the Hidden Tree Python.

After all, he didn’t kill the demon beast, and he wasn’t capable of killing it, so naturally, he wouldn’t take the core.

The Demon Hunting Captain departed.

In place, only Xiao Yi remained.

Along with the gigantic corpse of the Hidden Tree Python.

Xiao Yi did not urgently collect the Demon Beast Essence Blood and Demon Beast Core but began to sense carefully.

According to what he knew, the Hidden Tree Python was merely a beast of about the Sixth Layer of Saint King Realm.

But now, in his perception, the aura of the Hidden Tree Python has definitely reached above the Eighth Layer of Saint King Realm, even nearing the Ninth Layer.

Generally speaking, demon beasts have a long lifespan, but the downside is that their power grows exceptionally slowly.

Therefore, this kind of sudden significant increase in strength is almost impossible for demon beasts.

Xiao Yi carefully perceived.

After a while, he frowned.

The source of the Hidden Tree Python’s skyrocketing aura and strength is from the Demon Beast Core within its body.

Xiao Yi flicked a Sword Qi from his fingertips, breaking open the corpse of the Hidden Tree Python.

A Demon Beast Core emitting a golden light slowly floated out.

The demon beast’s entire power originates from the body, blood, and the Demon Beast Core.

Needless to say, demon beasts are known for their powerful bodies.

Blood is where the Essence Blood resides.

The core is where the Demon Essence is contained.

In Xiao Yi’s perception, the body and blood of this Hidden Tree Python were at the Sixth Layer level of Saint King Realm.

Only this core had reached the Peak of Eighth Layer level.

That shimmering golden glow was the reason for the core’s level ascent.

Those golden lights are naturally the streams of golden light now drifting in this Golden Light Dangerous Land.

"It seems the rumors are true."

Xiao Yi muttered to himself.

This vast Golden Light Dangerous Land, though treacherous, is indeed a Treasure Land.

Xiao Yi glanced at the golden lights drifting around, sensing once more.

All around, the golden light suffused the area, making the night in this dangerous land glow softly and beautifully.

However, these golden lights were clearly extraordinary.

Xiao Yi extended his hand, casually grabbing a handful of the drifting golden light.

However, his arm felt like it was passing through the air, and went right through.
