After confirming that he was unable to control the blood-colored bead, Yang Xuan chose to give up. He focused his mind and began to absorb the Yuan Qi floating in the world.
Time slowly passed. Unknowingly, the sun slowly rose in the distant horizon.
Yang Xuan opened his eyes and revealed a surprised smile."After a night of absorption, the Yuan Qi in my body can already condense into a thumb-sized ball of air.”
Yang Xuan stood up and patted the dust off his clothes. After absorbing the Vital Qi, he felt much more refreshed, as if he had just taken a shower. His entire body was filled with strength.
In his dantian, the blood-colored bead was spinning quietly. In a remote corner beside it was a white mist that was about the size of a thumb. It was spinning irregularly. This mist was the crystallization of Yang Xuan's efforts last night.
According to Ye Feng, only those who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm could use the Vital Qi in their bodies. Cultivators in the Qi Gatherer Realm could only use their Vital Qi to activate some runes. In fact, Qi Gatherer realm cultivators were not very strong, but once they reached the Foundation Establishment realm, their strength would be greatly improved!
Letting out a breath of turbid air, Yang Xuan's spirit was lifted, and his entire body was filled with strength. He was very much looking forward to how strong he would be after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm!
Glancing at the staircase, Yang Xuan's Spiritual Power was constantly paying attention to the silver python. Even when he was absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, he did not relax at all.
Through his Spiritual Power, Yang Xuan discovered that the silver python seemed to have eaten its fill yesterday. It lay motionless in the pile of corpses. At the same time, Yang Xuan also discovered that the Spiritual Power of this silver python was not strong. It was only slightly stronger than the Spiritual Power of an ordinary person. Although it was much weaker than his, it still surprised Yang Xuan.
This was because Yang Xuan had never discovered that there was spiritual energy in the brains of mutants when he faced them. In other words, mutants were already considered dead. They had no consciousness.
However, this giant python had spiritual power!
What did this mean?
This meant that it had mutated, but its brain was still alive and conscious! In scientific terms, it had evolved!
Evolution was not mutation! Mutation meant that the target had an unstable and wrong evolution direction! Although it was also evolution, it was called mutation because it was in the wrong direction!
Evolution was a conscious development, a change in direction. This was evolution!
Yang Xuan was even more careful. Those with consciousness were much more terrifying than those without!
At this moment, Wang Chen came from the stairs with breakfast.
"How is it?" Wang Chen glanced at the staircase and asked.
"It's nothing." Yang Xuan shook his head and wolfed down the breakfast. Soon, he finished it.
"That snake is still not moving?" Wang Chen said in surprise.
"It ate a lot of mutated humans yesterday. It's probably still digesting them!" Yang Xuan nodded.”
"Then what should we do?"
"We can only wait!" Yang Xuan said helplessly. Waiting for it to leave. We killed all the mutants on these floors. It would only climb up a few floors at most. After discovering that there were no mutants, it would naturally go down.”
Wang Chen nodded.
The two of them chatted for a while before Yang Xuan started cultivating again. Following yesterday's method, he continued to absorb the surrounding Heaven Earth Yuan Qi. Wang Chen was bored, so he went back upstairs.
Ten days later!
13th floor, corridor.
A black-haired youth with average looks was sitting cross-legged by a wall. A faint mist surrounded the youth's body. All of a sudden, the mist expanded and contracted rapidly, all of it seeping into the youth's skin. At this moment, the young man's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed past them.
"After ten days of absorption, the Yuan Qi in my body is even richer than before. I reckon that my Yuan Qi has already reached the early stage of Qi Gatherer and I can use some simple runes now.”Yang Xuan stood up and circulated his Yuan Qi, scattering all the dust on his body. There was an elegant temperament between his brows, but he could not feel it at all.
After standing up, Yang Xuan looked downstairs. Through his Spiritual Power, he saw that the giant silver snake was still crawling without moving.
At this moment, a series of footsteps came over. Yang Xuan did not need to turn around to know who it was.
"Yang Xuan, we have no more food.”Wang Chen walked over with a few bowls of porridge and said bitterly.
Yang Xuan nodded. The food had almost been eaten up a few days ago. The four men all had big appetites. However, there was not much food that could be found.
Yang Xuan sighed in his heart. He drank a few bowls of porridge and said in a deep voice,"Now that things have come to this, we can't wait anymore!”
"What do you want to do?" Wang Chen immediately looked at him and said.
"Rope!" " Use the rope," Yang Xuan said." From the window balcony here, follow the rope directly to the eleventh floor. There's no need to go to the twelfth floor."”
Wang Chen's eyes lit up." This is indeed a good idea," he said." I'll go find the rope immediately."”With that, he immediately ran upstairs.
After Wang Chen left, Yang Xuan smiled bitterly. He had thought of this method long ago, but it was too risky. Originally, he wanted to wait for the silver python to leave on its own, but he could not delay any longer. Who knew how long the python would sleep?
Climbing down the rope from the window was a good idea, but Yang Xuan did not plan to use this move unless he had no other choice.
Because-
Yang Xuan walked to the window and looked down. The entire neighborhood was filled with mutants. Moreover, there were a few huge snail-like monsters among the mutants. These snail-like monsters were covered in tentacles and were about the size of wild boars. Especially since they had two eyes and antennae on their heads, they could easily see the sky.
In other words, they climbed down from the window. It was very likely that they would attract the attention of these monsters. If these snail monsters discovered them and alerted the mutants, then countless mutants would surge into the building in an instant!
It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Yang Xuan was very confident in his skills, but he was not arrogant! No matter how powerful a person was, if he could beat ten, could he beat a hundred? If he could fight a hundred, what about a thousand?
Therefore, he would only use this method when he had no other choice.
Now, they could only pray and hope that the heavens would bless them.
Even if he was discovered in the end, Yang Xuan had a way to deal with it.
Yang Xuan had no confidence in facing the giant python. At the very least, they could still fight against the mutants!
……
After a while, Wang Chen, Ye Feng, and Cheng Hualiang arrived at the 13th floor. They were dressed neatly. Other than holding a spear in each hand, they also had a kitchen knife at their waists like Yang Xuan.
In Wang Chen's hand was a thick rope.
Yang Xuan nodded slightly, his expression turning serious.""When you go down later, no matter what happens, remember not to make a sound! Otherwise, everyone will be finished!"
Wang Chen and the other two understood the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly.
Wang Chen and Ye Feng looked at Cheng Hualiang worriedly. Ye Feng whispered,""Damn fatty, you have to be careful later!”
"Don't call me Fatty!" Cheng Hualiang said angrily. Of course I will be careful. Do you think I want to die?”
Ye Feng pursed his lips and did not say anything else.
Yang Xuan took the rope and tied one end to a thick concrete pillar. He pulled it twice and felt that it was firmly tied. Then, he carefully lowered the other end from the window. This rope was very long, and it could directly jump over the 12th floor and go straight down to the 11th floor.
Yang Xuan glanced at the three of them and said to Ye Feng,""You go down first. Remember to be gentle. Release your spiritual power after you go down and pay attention to the surroundings to see if there are any mutants or other monsters.”
Ye Feng nodded. The youth patted his chest and said,"Don't worry!" With that, he carefully grabbed the rope and climbed down. When he unintentionally looked down, he immediately saw a dark mass of mutated people. He was so scared that his face turned pale. However, he immediately gritted his teeth and began to focus on climbing down, not looking down again.
However, when he arrived at the 12th floor, he could clearly see a huge silver python lying in the corridor through the window. Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly saw such a huge creature. He was so scared that he almost let go.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this? It's so big!”Ye Feng held his breath and hurriedly crawled downstairs, afraid that the silver python would suddenly wake up and discover him.
Yang Xuan, who was upstairs, only let Wang Chen go down after he saw Ye Feng arrive safely on the 11th floor.
Wang Chen's movements were very agile, and his speed was very fast. However, when they reached the twelfth floor, they obviously saw the silver python inside. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they hurried down to the eleventh floor.
"Alright, it's your turn." Yang Xuan looked at Cheng Hualiang and said.
Cheng Hualiang quickly nodded with gratitude in his eyes. He was rejected by Wang Chen and Ye Feng. If it wasn't for Yang Xuan, he would have died at the hands of the mutant.
Seeing Cheng Hualiang grab the rope and slowly go down, Yang Xuan's heart was on tenterhooks. Among the three of them, he was the most worried about this fatty. If he saw the giant silver python and screamed, then he would be finished…
However, Yang Xuan could not bear to leave him here alone.
At this moment, Cheng Hualiang had already descended to the window with the rope. As soon as he arrived, Cheng Hualiang saw a huge creature. It was a ferocious silver python!
Cheng Hualiang's heart suddenly stopped beating. His mouth was wide open, and his face instantly turned pale. His fat body kept trembling. However, at this critical moment, he suddenly thought of Yang Xuan upstairs.
"I can't make a sound! I can't make a sound!"
Cheng Hualiang shouted in his heart. In the end, he bit his lips and quickly landed on the balcony on the eleventh floor.
Seeing that nothing had happened to him, Yang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He could not help but praise in his heart,"This fatty's willpower is not bad!”
However, Yang Xuan didn't know that Cheng Hualiang was actually…scared silly! She forgot to exclaim…
Now, it was finally Yang Xuan's turn.
Yang Xuan grabbed the rope and carefully climbed down. His movements were very cautious and did not make any sound. There was not even the sound of friction.
Finally, Yang Xuan came to the window on the 12th floor. The figure of the silver python entered his sight. Yang Xuan held his breath as he looked at the 20-meter-tall monster up close. The shock was unimaginable.
Just as Yang Xuan was carefully preparing to continue climbing down, the python, which had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened its eyes!
