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.

Phew...

All four of them let out a breath in unison. Eastern Chen's eyes flashed, and there was still some lingering fear in his heart. From what he had seen, the violet-gold yak had obviously held back its breath after giving birth to its young.

"Thanks to Brother Cang's reminder." Dongfang Chen looked at Cang Yun with admiration and asked with a smile, "But how did brother Cang know?"

Cang Yun smiled slightly, "I was just guessing. This Purple Gold Python's strength is very high and it has already used extremely high intelligence. Therefore, I guess, under this special circumstance, it should not be completely unprepared."

"I'm impressed!"

Dong Fang Chen gave a thumbs up. Cang Yun was still able to maintain his calm and comprehensive thinking under these circumstances. It had to be said that this experienced mindset made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Alright, let's do it now!" Cang Yun smiled as he waved his hand. Following which, he hurriedly urged Qin Wentian on.

When the Purple Gold Shaman was giving birth to his cub, although he did his best to suppress it and did not make any big movements, just in case something happened. Cang Yun felt that it would be best to make a move as soon as possible.

"Alright, then should I lure it out first?" Dongfang Chen looked at Cang Yun and asked.

Cang Yun nodded his head. The cave was the lair of the Purple Gold Python, so it was not good for them to fight inside, so he had to lure them out. Among the four of them, Dongfang Chen was a Soul Cultivator who specialized in long-range battles.

When he received his answer, Eastern Chen dashed out of the cave without a second word.

"Brother Yun is so amazing, even the young master of the Dongfang family is under your command."

Seeing this, Cang Ling could not help but admire him. With a look of worship in her eyes, she softly exclaimed.

"You brat, be careful of your mouth. Don't say such words." Cang Yun smirked as he knocked on Cang Ling's head. At this moment of cooperation, he did not want to create any estrangement between the two of them just because of some idle talk.

"I understand." Cang Ling pouted in pain and answered in embarrassment.

BOOM!

At this moment, the ground trembled with a violent boom. Then, a colossal creature slithered out of the cave entrance.

The expressions of Cang Yun's group turned cold. Immediately, their gazes turned towards the source of the sound.

In that instant, a strong fishy wind blew over. And from the source of that fishy wind, an enormous python appeared out of nowhere.

The body of the snake, which was as thick as a bucket, slightly twisted, causing the entire ground to tremble. The snake's body stood upright, and on its violent head, a pair of dark green eyes flickered with a soul-piercing light. Under its gaze, Cang Yun and the others could not help but feel a chill on their backs.

"As expected of a Nihility God Stage spiritual beast. Even though its strength has dropped, its might is still this strong." Cang Yun's throat rolled as he was slightly shocked in his heart. This was also the first time he met a Spiritual Beast at the Nihility God Stage. The might that it displayed was much more terrifying than what he had imagined.

Hiss hiss!

The thin snake's tongue flicked in and out of the air. The purple-gold python looked down on Cang Yun and the others from above, just like a giant looking at an ant.

"Get ready. Protect yourself." Cang Yun reminded the two beside him in a low voice, as his eyes filled with a serious light.

He knew that this would be a fierce battle!
