chapter 37. fighting with python

After Xua Yan hunted the four beasts, he realized that he needed more food supplies to sustain himself during the martial arts competition. He estimated that he needed at least twelve more level 9 energy-gathering beasts to meet his needs. So, he continued his hunt, moving stealthily through the jungle.

As he searched for prey, he stumbled upon a group of bear-like beasts. There were five of them in the group, and Xua Yan knew that he had to be careful. He drew upon his cultivation skills and used his invisibility skill to sneak up on the beasts one by one. He attacked them swiftly and efficiently, using his sword to take them down. After he killed each one, he dragged their bodies back to the entropy, where he would store them until he needed to cook and eat them.

The bears were a formidable opponent, and Xua Yan knew that he was lucky to have taken them down without suffering any injuries. He was pleased with his progress and felt confident that he was ready for the upcoming martial arts competition. However, he also knew that he needed to be careful and continue to hone his skills, as he would face even more challenging opponents in the competition.

After successfully hunting the group of bear-like beasts, Xua Yan knew that he still needed more beasts to ensure that he had enough food to sustain himself during the upcoming martial arts competition. He continued his journey, moving through the dense jungle with a sense of purpose.

As he walked, he kept his eyes peeled for any signs of movement or sound that might indicate the presence of prey. He was looking for level 9 energy-gathering beasts, which were strong enough to provide him with the nourishment he needed to maintain his strength and stamina.

Xua Yan's cultivation skills came in handy during his hunt. He was able to move quietly and swiftly through the jungle, using his invisibility skill to avoid detection by any potential predators. He was also able to use his heightened senses to track the movements of his prey, listening carefully for the sounds of rustling leaves or snapping twigs that might indicate the presence of nearby beasts.

Despite the challenges of hunting in a dense jungle filled with dangerous creatures, Xua Yan remained focused and determined. He knew that he needed to be diligent in his search for food if he wanted to have any chance of succeeding in the martial arts competition.

Xua Yan faced a python beast with incredibly tough skin that his sword couldn't penetrate. This was a tough challenge, but Xua Yan didn't give up. He knew he had to come up with a new strategy to defeat the beast.

First, Xua Yan used his cultivation skills to enhance his speed and agility. He was able to dodge the python's attacks and move quickly around it, looking for a weak spot to strike. He noticed that the python's eyes seemed to be its only vulnerable spot. However, the python was quick to turn its head and protect its eyes whenever Xua Yan tried to strike.

To overcome this challenge, Xua Yan decided to use his invisibility skill. He disappeared from sight, confusing the python and giving him the chance to move closer undetected. Once he was in position, he struck with his sword, aiming for the python's eyes.

The python was quick to react, but Xua Yan was even quicker. He was able to land a glancing blow on the python's eye, causing it to wince in pain. This gave Xua Yan the opening he needed to strike again, this time hitting the eye with full force. The python writhed in agony, giving Xua Yan the chance to strike the killing blow.

With the python defeated, Xua Yan felt a sense of satisfaction and pride. He had overcome a tough challenge and proved that he was a skilled warrior. He took the python's body back to the entropy to add to his food supplies and continued his hunt for more beasts.

After he took care of python beast and as he continued further. Xua Yan encountered two ape beasts during his hunt. These beasts were likely at the level 9 energy-gathering stage and presented a formidable challenge for Xua Yan. As he had experienced before, beasts at this level were often able to coordinate with each other, making them much more difficult to defeat.

As Xua Yan approached the two ape beasts, he drew his sword and prepared to attack. However, he quickly realized that these beasts were different from the others he had encountered. They were intelligent and were able to work together to defend themselves.

Xua Yan attempted to use his invisibility skill to gain an advantage, but the apes were quick to sense his presence. They began to attack him from different directions, forcing him to be on the defensive. Xua Yan was surprised by their level of coordination and strategy.

As he fought, he began to understand that these apes were not just mindless beasts. They had intelligence and could think critically, which made them much more difficult opponents. Xua Yan knew that he needed to come up with a new strategy if he was going to defeat them.

He decided to focus on separating the two apes so that he could fight them one at a time. He used his speed and agility to dodge their attacks and create openings. Eventually, he was able to isolate one of the apes and took it down with a swift strike from his sword.

However, the other ape was not deterred and continued to attack Xua Yan. Xua Yan realized that he needed to finish the fight quickly, as he was running out of energy. He used all his strength to deliver a powerful blow that stunned the ape, and then he quickly finished it off with another strike.

After defeating the two apes, Xua Yan took a moment to catch his breath and reflect on the fight. He realized that he had underestimated the intelligence of these beasts and that he needed to be more prepared for future encounters.

Xua Yan continued his journey deeper into the forest in search of more beasts. He walked with a steady pace, his senses sharp, and his body alert for any signs of danger. The thick foliage of the jungle surrounded him, making it difficult to see more than a few feet in front of him. However, he relied on his cultivation skills to help him navigate the dense terrain.

As he moved further into the jungle, he noticed the sounds of birds and other animals that filled the air. Occasionally, he would come across a small stream or pond, which he used to quench his thirst. The hot and humid climate made it challenging for him to keep his body cool, but he pushed through the discomfort.

Despite the challenges, Xua Yan felt a sense of excitement and satisfaction as he explored the vast and mysterious jungle. He was determined to find enough beasts to sustain himself throughout the upcoming martial arts competition.

As he walked deeper into the forest, he came across various types of beasts. He encountered many beasts. Each encounter provided him with new challenges to overcome and helped him to develop his skills and abilities further. Despite the danger, Xua Yan was focused and determined to succeed in his quest for survival.

As he continued further he was suddenly attacked by a pack of wolf-like beasts. Xua Yan found himself in a precarious situation as he was suddenly attacked by a pack of wolf-like beasts. There were six of them, and they were closing in on him with ferocious snarls and bared teeth. Despite his cultivation and fighting skills, he knew that he was outnumbered and outmatched.

Xua Yan quickly assessed the situation and realized that he might not be able to take on all six wolves at once. He knew that retreating was the best option, and he started to back away slowly while keeping his eyes on the wolves. However, the wolves didn't seem to be in a mood to let him go, and they continued to advance towards him.

As he continued to retreat, Xua Yan noticed a small rocky outcropping nearby. He quickly realized that he could use it to his advantage and turned to make a break for it. The wolves sensed his plan and lunged towards him, but Xua Yan was able to dodge and evade their attacks with his agility and speed.

With his heart pounding, Xua Yan reached the rocky outcropping and used it to his advantage. He was now standing on a higher ground, which gave him a strategic advantage over the wolves. As the wolves closed in on him, Xua Yan drew his sword and prepared to defend himself.

The first wolf lunged at him, but Xua Yan was ready for it. He deftly dodged its attack and struck it down with a swift blow of his sword. The other wolves were now circling him, trying to find an opening in his defense. Xua Yan remained calm and focused, using his cultivation skills to anticipate their movements and react accordingly.

After some time of fighting and avoiding the wolf pack's attacks, Xua Yan was finally able to defeat the leader of the pack. He had to use all his skills and techniques to overcome the ferocious beasts, but his determination to gather enough supplies to sustain himself in the martial arts competition kept him going.

The fight with the wolf pack was intense, with the wolves using their speed and agility to try to overwhelm Xua Yan. He had to stay focused and alert, watching for any openings to strike. His martial arts training had prepared him well for such situations, but the strength and coordination of the pack were a formidable challenge.

Despite the difficulties, Xua Yan remained calm and calculated. He knew that he couldn't let his guard down for even a moment, as the wolves were quick to take advantage of any weakness. He used his invisibility skill to evade their attacks, and his sword to strike back when he saw an opening.

As the fight continued, Xua Yan noticed that the wolves seemed to be following the orders of their leader, a massive beast with sharp teeth and piercing eyes. He knew that if he could take down the leader, the rest of the pack might lose their will to fight.

With renewed determination, Xua Yan focused his attacks on the leader, dodging and weaving as the other wolves tried to protect their alpha. He used his sword to inflict deep wounds on the beast, gradually wearing it down.

Finally, after a long and grueling battle, Xua Yan landed a decisive blow on the leader, severing its spine with a swift stroke of his sword. The rest of the pack immediately backed off, sensing that the fight was over.

Xua Yan took a moment to catch his breath and assess his injuries. He had a few cuts and bruises, but nothing too serious. He was relieved that the fight was over, but also proud of himself for overcoming such a formidable challenge.

After defeating the leader of the wolf pack, Xua Yan's confidence was boosted. He had finally overcome his fear and hesitations. He swiftly took down the rest of the wolves one by one, using his newfound strength and skills to his advantage.

Despite the fierce nature of the wolves, Xua Yan was able to stay calm and focused during the fight. He was careful not to let them surround him and instead, he kept moving around to keep them on their toes. His quick reflexes and precision strikes allowed him to take them down quickly and efficiently.

After he had defeated all the wolves, he took a moment to catch his breath and assess his injuries. Although he had sustained some minor injuries during the fight, he was able to heal himself using his cultivation techniques.
