Ye Xiao looked at the two lifeless body of the second grade magical beasts.

"Devour!"

Without wasting any more time, Ye Xiao immediately used his devouring ability and devoured both of the Scorpion_-Tailed Pig and the Ironback Ape.

Moments later, Ye Xiao took his leave from there while leaving two dried-up corpses of magical beasts.

.....

Ye Xiao was walking cautiously deeper in the forest. Along the way, he hunted down many second grade magical beasts. It was a pity that he still did not encounter any third grade magical beasts.

"What is going on? I've walked far deeper in the forest but still I did not see any third grade or above magical beasts."

Ye Xiao failed to understand what was going on so he just kept walking.

Splat!

Splat!

After moving forward for a few hundred meters, a frightening noise suddenly travelled over from a certain direction. It was the roar of a magical beast.

Ye Xiao hurriedly walked toward that direction and after parting the vegetations to take a look, Ye Xiao could not help but break into cold sweat.

The vegetations in the forest was too thick, affecting the line of vision and illumination. However, through the trees' dense mottled shadows, Ye Xiao managed to see a creeping giant beast.

It was a giant python as thick as a water bucket and it was also 40 meters long. It was actually swallowing a black wolf as big as an ox into its stomach.

The python's entire body was green and its mouth was wide opened. The black wolf's head had already been swallowed by the green python. If nothing out of ordinary happened, this black wolf would become a meal for this dark green python.

Ye Xiao swallowed his saliva as hesitation flashed across his eyes. He wanted to hunt down this giant python on one hand and on the other hand he also felt a dangerous aura coming out from this giant python's body. This giant python was so huge and it probably a peak third grade magical beast. He would definitely be able to breakthrough by at least one stage if he can devour this giant python but the question was... Would he be able to kill this giant python. After all he felt a huge danger from this giant python.

Ye Xiao thought for a while and decided to let it go. This giant python was really a giant and he could already feel its cold and sinister aura. Ye Xiao was not confident in killing it.

If that's the case, it is better to just leave. My life is much more important.

Ye Xiao murmured and just as he wanted to slip away, he felt a chill running down in his back. He could not help but turned slightly to look at the giant python. When he looked at the giant python, he found that the giant python was also looking at him. A pair of snake eye's was looking at him with an icy stare.

"Run!"

Without even thinking about anything, Ye Xiao turned around and started running in full speed. However he was still a step late. Just as he started running, a long green tail came over, sweeping at him with an amazing speed.

Ye Xiao wanted to dodge this attack of giant python but it still hit him on his shoulder.

Ka-cha!

"Ahhh!!"

A sound of bone breaking echoed throughout the forest. Ye Xiao was sent flying after the tail of the giant python hit him on his shoulder. His shoulder's bone was broken because of this attack. Ye Xiao screamed out in pain.

"Damn it! It is actually a grade four magical beast. How can my luck be that bad." Ye Xiao cursed loudly. He did not think anything about the surging pain, he immediately stood up and started running again.

But the giant python suddenly appeared in front of him. It opened its mouth wide and then pounced at Ye Xiao.

"Shit!"

Ye Xiao could not help but shout loudly and immediately took out his sword and slashed at the big mouth of the giant python but still in the next moment he appeared in a dark place.

"Euu! Smelling so dirty."

Ye Xiao knew that he was swallowed alive by the giant python and he was currently inside the big belly of it.

Splat!

He heard another sound of something. When he raised his head to look up, he saw a flash of light but then something covered that light by more than half and it was coming down at a high speed.

"F*ck!"

Ye Xiao hurriedly bounced and moved to a side. That 'something' fall down heavily and some type of liquid splashed everywhere.

Ye Xiao lit up the Beast Fire in his hand and saw that it was actually the corpse of that black wolf.

"Am I going to die here?" Ye Xiao thought and felt suffocating here.

"No, I can't die here. Let me see what will you do if I started burning you down from inside with my Beast Fire." Ye Xiao shouted and just as he was about to spread Beast Fire inside the belly of the giant snake, his gaze again fell on the corpse of the black wolf.

"Humph! Wait for a while. After I devoured this black wolf, It will be your turn." Ye Xiao snorted and walked toward the corpse of the Black Wolf. Even though he was acting tough, but in reality, he was also filled with fear.

"Devour!"

Ye Xiao again used his devouring ability and started devouring the black wolf. Spirit energy immediately started running throughout his body and lastly it was stored in his dantian. Moments later, his dantian started to overflow from the spirit energy. He immediately channelled the spirit energy toward something that was blocking him from levelling up.

Ka-cha!

Not long after, the sound of something breaking echoed inside his body.

Eighth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

"I finally broke through to the Eighth Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm." Ye Xiao smiled excitedly and just as he wanted to move his hand up in the air, he felt pain in his shoulder. Only at this moment, he remembered that he has broke his shoulder.

Ye Xiao immediately entered the Heavenly Pearl and appeared in a Grassland. He ran and arrived in front of the Jade Lotus. He plucked out a Jade Lotus and swallowed it. Then he sat down there and started circulating his spirit energy to channel the medicinal energy of the Jade Lotus in his shoulder.

His shoulder's wound started to heal at an unimaginable speed. It was the first time Ye Xiao swallowed a Jade Lotus and it was even a fourth grade Jade Lotus. He immediately felt the changes of his body. Not only the outer wound but his broke bone also started connecting again. Not long after he felt that his body's condition came back to its peak.

"F*ck! I could have entered the Heavenly Pearl at the time when this damn giant python was about to swallow me. Why did I not think about it at that time?" Ye Xiao immediately felt annoyed and it was also on himself.

Seeing that he was back to his peak condition, Ye Xiao left from there and in the next moment, he again appeared in the belly of the giant python.

Ye Xiao bring both of his hand in front of him and lit up the Beast Fire. Then he immediately started to spread the Beast Fire inside the giant python's body. Even though the giant python's inside was all wet and something sticky was almost covering all of its organs but it still was unable to save its organ's from burning by the Beast Fire.

"Roar!"

The giant python roared loudly and it started to grizzle here and there on the ground as if it wanted to feel relief but the burning sensation that it felt inside its body became stronger and stronger.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

It roared loudly and started to splutter on the ground because of pain and suffering it felt because of its internal organ's burning.

After sometime, it stopped screaming in pain and took its last breath.

Inside the stomach of the giant snake, Ye Xiao also felt relief at this moment. Because of the giant python's struggle before it's death, Ye Xiao was also sent flying here and there continuously inside the stomach of the giant python.

Now that it finally stopped, Ye Xiao also managed to stand up. When Ye Xiao looked at himself, he could not help but wanted to vomit. His entire body was now covered with sticky substances and a very bad stink was coming out from it.

There was Beast Fire still burning the inside of the Giant Python. Ye Xiao looked around him and saw that the whole inside of the giant python was now charred black. Seeing this, Ye Xiao recalled the Beast Fire and then split open the stomach of the giant python with his sword and finally came out.
