Chapter 273 Attack Upgrade
Looking at the restless jungle, Yunxi transmitted her voice to the spirit pets beside her:

“Tonight I’ve decided to continue fighting the giant beast. Except for Fairy Spirit, Dian Dian and Fei Xia should stay in the spirit beast pouch. The things here will affect you.”

"Yes, Master."

Dian Dian and Fei Xia readily agreed and then skillfully slipped into the spirit beast pouch.

Yunxi immediately tied the spirit beast pouch tightly and prepared to leap down from the giant tree. A brown-black giant python silently slithered along the trunk of the giant tree to where Yunxi was, and then unexpectedly coiled around her. However, the python's coiling attack missed, and it only managed to entangle air.

The moment Yunxi left the space, she released her divine sense. However, the range that her divine sense could cover was one mile smaller than yesterday, which made her realize that although she did not absorb the spiritual energy here to cultivate, she was still subject to some kind of restriction.

It must be the "bad stuff" that the fairy spirit mentioned that was causing the trouble. She touched her cheek. The glassy jade face should have filtered out some of the bad stuff for her, but when her protective spiritual shield was damaged during the battle with the giant beast, her exposed skin still came into contact with this substance, which is why her consciousness was restricted.

Just then, she spotted the giant python preparing to attack from behind. As it moved, she swiftly leaped down from the giant tree.

The giant python, almost the same color as the tree trunk, lost its target and, flicking its tongue, slithered down the tree trunk, relentlessly pursuing Yunxi.

Yunxi frowned. She didn't want to be chased. Who knew what dangers lurked in the jungle as night fell? So after a few quick movements, she turned around and threw out a stack of talismans.

The giant python sensed the danger and tried to avoid the light, leaf-like objects, but because its body was too large, it couldn't stop and rushed straight into the center of the exploding talisman triggered by Yunxi.

The cracking sounds echoed far and wide through the darkening jungle, reaching even the old woman in the tribe. She nervously stepped out of the stone house and looked in the direction from which the sounds came. She figured it must have been the commotion caused by the male cultivator who had come during the day.

At this moment, the man with the stone hammer also hurriedly walked to the old woman's side and said:
"Ah Zu, has something happened to that person? Should we send someone to check on them?"

The old woman tightened her grip on her cane, her lips pressed into a thin line, and after a long silence, she finally spoke:

"No need. The beasts are even more ferocious at night, and we can't handle them now. Tell the tribesmen to go back to their houses to rest after dark, as they always do, and not to leave the tribe."

The man with the stone hammer frowned, but finally replied:
"Yes, Azu!"

He then turned and left the old woman's stone house.

The old woman sighed, and finally went into the house herself, lowering the animal skin curtain to shut out everything outside.

After Yunxi used a talisman to kill the giant python, she only had time to dig out its gall bladder when another, slightly smaller black python unexpectedly wrapped its tail around her waist.

Yunxi was unable to break free immediately; instead, the giant python tightened its tail. She seemed to hear the sound of her ribs cracking. The black python lifted her up in front of its eyes, its deep brown eyes and vertical pupils giving off a chilling feeling.

Yunxi stopped struggling and decisively summoned the Frostbite Needle, splitting it in two before swiftly piercing the python's eyes.

The Frostbite Needle itself possesses ice properties. While piercing the giant python's eyes, it also froze its entire head. As the black python struggled in its death throes, it tightened its tail again. This time, Yunxi heard a clear sound of ribs breaking before being slammed heavily to the ground.

The black python had already breathed its last. She exhaled a breath of stale air, ignoring her broken ribs, and quickly broke free from the tightly coiled python's tail. With a flick of her sleeve, she stored the corpses of the two giant pythons in her storage bag, then swiftly used her Wind-Sweeping Step to leave the scene of the battle. After running some distance, Yunxi threw out an array plate and flashed into the array to heal her wounds. By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the roars of beasts echoed throughout the jungle, making everyone's heart tremble with fear.

At the same time, all the cultivators who entered the secret realm were attacked by the giant beast, and the attack was even more intense than the previous night. Even Wei Yunqing, who valued his life, had to draw his sword and start fighting.

Wei Yunqing swung her sword and cut down a giant brown-green lizard that was crawling close to the ground. The splash of blood made her take a step back in disgust and hide in the formation she had set up.

"Humph! What bad luck!"

Yun Qing had no choice but to cast a purification spell on herself and swallow a pill to replenish her spiritual energy. A quarter of an hour later, she rushed out of the formation again to fight to the death with the giant lizards that were besieging the formation.

Sheng Yuhong was fighting against the giant black monkey, but because he was a sword cultivator, he was quite at ease in the fight, and the sharp golden sword light easily sliced ​​through the giant monkey's fur.

Sheng Yuhong knew very well that he was alone and had no backup, so he prepared a place for himself to rest and set up a protective formation so that he would have a place to catch his breath when he was overwhelmed and would not be caught in a bitter battle.

Almost all the cultivators spent a sleepless night. When the first rays of sunlight fell on the jungle, the ferocious beasts seemed to receive some kind of signal, stopped attacking, and then leisurely returned to their lair, allowing the cultivators who had entered the secret realm to breathe a sigh of relief.

Yunxi fought all night again last night. During that time, she returned to the formation to rest twice, both times because her spiritual energy was about to run out. She dared not absorb the spiritual energy in the forest, but instead entered the formation to absorb spirit stones to replenish her energy before leaving the formation to fight again.

After the giant beast left at dawn, Yunxi was finally able to catch her breath. She meditated to fill her dantian with spiritual energy before dispelling the formation and heading straight for the Wu tribe.

On the way, Yunxi told Xianling about the descendants of the Wu clan in the secret realm. Xianling sighed wisely and said:

"There is always a reason for the extinction of a species, but they will definitely make a final struggle."

What could Yunxi say? She could only change the subject:
"I've seen one or two of those giant beasts during the day, but they weren't as ferocious as they are at night. Why is that?"

The fairy herb shook its leaves and replied:

"The daytime light in the secret realm has a suppressive effect on the aura that can cause beasts to become agitated. At night, without this suppression, the beasts are more affected, which is why they attack you, an outsider, in groups."

Yunxi frowned after hearing this, then tentatively asked:

"Fairy Spirit, can you filter out that substance that causes beasts to go out of control?"

The fairy spirit immediately understood the meaning behind Yunxi's words, and it replied:
"I can filter, but these substances damage my body. Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to let me act as a filter for you to absorb the spiritual energy of this space."

Of course, if this immortal herb were at its peak, these would be minor matters. But now that I've acknowledged you as my master, your cultivation level limits me. I was able to absorb the entire spiritual vein completely only because your divine sense is powerful enough; otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to move the spiritual vein into my space.”

Yunxi's lips twitched upon hearing this. She knew that Xianling was indirectly criticizing her, and then she said:
"I understand. You should focus on your strengths and explore the spiritual veins!"
