The summer nights in the Hengduan Mountains are always refreshing, and the "whirring" mountain breeze sweeps across the ridges, shaking the trees and grass located in them, making a characteristic "rustling" sound.

Li Xuangang had been in place for several days, and every once in a while he would go back to the temporary cave to rest, and then return to the same place to continue observing.

A few days ago, there was no movement in that cave, and even Li Xuangang couldn't detect the breath of the third-order Hessian python inside.

If he hadn't happened to see the Hessian python poking its head out of the cave opening, he would have thought that the Hessian python had left during his absence.

When Li Xuangang saw the Hessian python sticking out the python head at the entrance of the cave, he thought that the other party was finally going to leave the cave temporarily, but he didn't expect that the Hessian python just stretched out the python's head.

After spitting out the snake letter and briefly probing the surrounding breath, he immediately retracted.

This move made Li Xuangang a little puzzled.

However, not long after the Hessian python made this kind of move, Li Xuangang was surprised to find that not only could he not perceive the breath of the Hessian python, but he could not even sense the breath of the third-order spirit plant.

This made Li Xuangang panic instantly, and his first reaction was that the Hessian python had already left with the third-order spirit plant.

But when he was blown by the breeze and his head came to his senses again, he knew that the possibility was very small.

A third-order spirit plant, if it was not transplanted by an experienced spirit planter, then it would be impossible to move its position even a bit. Obviously, this Hessian python could not have the ability to transplant spiritual objects.

Li Xuangang's heart turned a few times, and he guessed that the biggest possibility was that this Hessen python didn't know what method he used to cover up the aura of himself and the third-order spirit plant.

Before, it poked out of the cave opening, and then used the snake letter to sense the surrounding breath, it is very likely that it is just verifying whether its method has worked, and whether there is really no breath leaking out again.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and Li Xuangang couldn't help but start wondering what kind of method this Hessen python used to perfectly cover the aura of the third-order spirit plant.

He knew that this spirit plant had just entered the third order some time ago, and it was the time when the aura around him was the most unstable, and it was not easy to completely suppress this unstable aura fluctuation.

The only way he knew was the Great Array of Mountain Guards on Taiqiu Mountain, and that large array could perfectly cover the breath of the green plum spirit tree on the top of the mountain, preventing it from leaking a bit.

But at the same time, Li Xuangang also knew that it was because there was a whole third-order lower grade spiritual vein on Taiqiu Mountain, and this karst cave obviously did not have such conditions.

In his perception, the concentration of aura emitted from this karst cave was only at the level of a first-order mid-grade at most, and it was impossible to support the operation of a magic circle like the Taiqiu Mountain Guarding Array.

In the end, Li Xuangang no longer wondered why this Hessian python could perfectly suppress the aura of himself and the third-order spirit plant, he just needed to make sure that the other party was still in this cave, and the third-order spirit plant inside had not been taken away by it.

......

After Li Xuangang found out that he couldn't sense the breath of this Hessian python, he didn't dare to be careless.

So he didn't go back to the temporary cave to rest, but stayed where he was day and night, quietly observing the situation in the cave.

Finally, a few more days passed. Li Xuangang waited again for the Hessian python to come out of the cave, and this time it didn't just poke out a python's head, but the entire snake body came out of the cave.

The body of the snake with a length of more than ten zhang slowly slashed through the entrance of the cave, and the black scales on it constantly rubbed against the gravel on the ground, making a "rustling" sound.

Li Xuangang waited for several days, and finally waited for this Hessen python to come out again, so he naturally would not let go of this good opportunity to observe.

While suppressing his breath to the minimum, he secretly stared at the Hessian python that came out of the hole.

In Li Xuangang's observation, after the Hessian python came out of the cave, it did not leave far, but coiled a huge ancient tree nearby.

The quiet moonlight shines down, reflecting on the black scales of the Hessian python, which looks a little cold.

Seeing this, Li Xuangang moved his position slightly, so that he could better hide his figure, and second, he could find a better angle of observation.

The giant Hessian python coiled its body around the tall ancient tree and stuck its head out of the top of the tree.

It had a black vertical pupil in its dark yellow eyes, quietly looking at the full moon in the sky, and the snake body was slowly moving to maintain the balance of its entire body on the tree.

The Hessian python was bathed in the moonlight, and remained in this position for a quarter of an hour.

And Li Xuangang, who was observing it from the side, didn't dare to relax, he knew that this Hessian python must have a reason for it to do so. As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be demons.

Just as Li Xuangang waited patiently, the Hessian python coiled on the ancient tree suddenly opened its upper and lower jaws and cracked to the maximum. And the body from the neck of the snake began to squirm constantly, as if trying to spit out something.

Li Xuangang finally observed the information he wanted to see, so in the next period of time, he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, and tried his best to reflect the picture he was seeing with his eyes directly in his mind.

The Hessian python ruminated for a while, and finally something began to slowly appear in its mouth: it was a white skeleton.

His brows furrowed slightly, and Li Xuangang continued to watch it with a heart, not feeling too deeply about this slightly terrifying scene. He also probably guessed who this white bone was, if nothing else, it was the foundation building monk who had been swallowed by the Hessian python before.

Although it had been determined that after the other party was swallowed by the Hessian python, he was probably already very lucky, but when he really saw the other party's bones at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little touched.

But at the same time, Li Xuangang was also a little surprised, the bones of this foundation building period monk were so strong, even the gastric juice of the Hessian python could not corrode it.

When the skeleton gradually revealed most of the Hessian python's mouth, Li Xuangang finally knew the reason why his bones were not corroded.

It wasn't that the foundation-building monk's bones were special, but that his bones were covered with a layer of soft armor with many spikes. The spikes embedded in the soft armor were all nearly two or three inches long, and each one shone with silver light in Li Xuangang's sight.

Although most of the spikes in it were rusty from the Hessian python's gastric juice, Li Xuangang was sure that this soft armor must have been a second-order magic weapon before, otherwise it would be impossible to resist the corrosion of the Hessian python's gastric juice.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuangang probably guessed the experience of the monk in the foundation building period after being swallowed by the Hessian python.

When the foundation building monk was swallowed by the Hessian python, Li Xuangang was very sure that he no longer had any aura on him, and he had reached the point of exhaustion. And the Hessian python's internal muscles are strong, and it will definitely squeeze the foundation-building monk who was swallowed into it, making it unable to move.

Therefore, under the influence of these two factors, Li Xuangang thought that it was impossible for the foundation building monk to attack inside the stomach of the Hessian python again. In the same way, he couldn't have taken out such a piece of soft armor from his storage bag and put it on.

According to Li Xuangang's conjecture, it is very likely that this foundation-building monk had already worn this software on his body before he was swallowed by the Hessian python.

After he had thought about this, the bones left behind by the foundation building monk were finally completely spit out by the Hessian python, but the spikes on it still caused it a lot of trouble.

At least within Li Xuangang's line of sight, he had already seen blood flowing from the corner of the mouth of the Hessian python, which was obviously scratched by the spikes on the soft armor when he spit out the bones.

When the skeleton fell to the ground from the mouth of the Hessian python, a large pool of black-brown blood directly gushed out of the mouth of the Hessian python. It seems that the thorny soft armor on this skeleton has been tormenting it for some time.

Li Xuangang silently wrote down these details, maybe these details will be of some use to the family's actions later.

When he completely spit out the foreign object inside himself, the Hessian python spat out the snake letter, and there was a hint of humanized relief in his eyes, but then when he saw the skeleton that fell to the ground, the relief in its eyes turned into annoyance.

I saw it quickly descend from the ancient tree, and then picked up the bones of this foundation-building monk with the tip of its tail, and deftly stripped off the soft armor on his body.

Then, it directly used its body to smash the remaining bones that were not protected by soft armor, relieving the depression in his heart. The Hessian python picked up the discarded soft armor with its tail, twisted its body and slowly returned to the cave.

Only Li Xuangang, who was still peeping in the distance, was left at the scene.
