Faced with the corpses scattered across the corridor and the numerous orbs of light, the three men's eyes immediately lit up.

They quickly took out their backpacks, grabbed the orbs of light, and put them inside. They didn't count the orbs; they planned to collect them first and then calculate and distribute them. The orbs weren't very big, about the size of a baby's fist, and a backpack could easily hold dozens or even hundreds.

This time, Ji Tianhao didn't secretly take away the light orb. Since there were three of them together, they should distribute it as they saw fit.

In unfamiliar environments, trust needs to be built up gradually, little by little.

Perhaps they didn't realize it at the time, but eventually some resentment will remain.

After embarking on cultivation, he further developed his own exclusive cultivation technique with the help of the Kunlun Jade Disc, possessing almost the greatest opportunities and good fortune. Compared to this, everything else is insignificant, and his vision and temperament have also improved accordingly.

Soon, the scattered orbs of light on the ground were quickly collected by the three of them. Their three backpacks were full, and a strange sense of satisfaction welled up in their hands as they held them.

"What a pity, we can't take these snake corpses away, we can't fit them all in. It's a shame, we didn't find a single treasure that can be used for storage in the light sphere. Otherwise, we could have stored them all away, they're all meat!"

Hu Youni said with a hint of regret.

Cultivation requires resources, including a large amount of meat. These venomous snakes may look terrifying, but they're still meat when you eat them. The situation is constantly changing; nobody knows where their next meal will come from.

"Storage artifacts are so precious, how can you get one so easily? Little sister, why don't you go to sleep? You can have anything in your dreams."

Qi Lin immediately got excited and seized the opportunity to make a joke.

"There really is one."

Upon hearing this, Ji Tianhao had a sudden thought. He immediately stretched out his hand, revealing a brass ring on his finger, and said with a smile, "A storage ring. It contains ten cubic meters of space and can store some items. I was lucky enough to get it from a ball of light."

As if to prove his point, he waved his hand at a venomous snake in front of him, and the snake's carcass disappeared.

"Old Ji, your luck is unbelievable! This is too unfair! Why can't I get such good treasures? Ten cubic meters, how many good things can that hold?"

Qi Lin was so surprised by what he saw that his pipe almost fell off his lips; he was filled with envy.

"If you can get it, then we definitely have a chance to get it too. With so many light orbs we've collected this time, we might just be able to get a storage item."

Hu Youni looked very envious, but she also felt that if Ji Tianhao could get one, then she should be able to as well. With just a little bit of luck, getting a storage equipment was not a dream.

Of course, no matter how envious they were, they never actually tried to take the storage ring.

Such a treasure, if you put yourself in their shoes, you would absolutely not give it up if you didn't have a replacement. Anyone who dares to covet it is an enemy. Both of them are well aware of this, and they know exactly what they can and cannot say.

The sense of proportion was excellent.

No one overstepped their bounds; after all, they weren't naive ivory tower students who had never seen the world, but rather experienced individuals.

“These snake carcasses are all good stuff. I’ll keep them for later use as our food.”

Ji Tianhao said with a smile.

"Put it away, it's good to put it away. Anyway, you have storage equipment. If you don't have enough food in the future, you can still eat this meat. Cultivation also requires a lot of meat. Otherwise, without sufficient essence, cultivation will harm your body and mind."

Hu Youni said without hesitation.

If we can't take these snake corpses with us, it's a waste. But if we can take them with us, they're the best resources for cultivation. We can't let them slip by easily.

Without hesitation, he reached out and collected the snake carcasses, instantly clearing away the snake carcasses that had been scattered all over the ground, and the bloody smell that filled the air seemed to have dissipated by more than half.

The ring is fake, just for show; what's actually stored inside is within one's own singularity space. It serves as a form of concealment of one's own space. Exposing the storage ring is far better than exposing the space itself.

"Look, the fog outside has dissipated."

"It's a jungle, a huge jungle outside, but all the trees are withered, there's not a trace of green."

"There are snakes outside! I saw a giant python! My God, it's a huge python! Are we going to die? How can we survive in the face of such a giant python?"

At that moment, on the seventh floor, people rushed out of their rooms, shouting. Through the open window, without the fog obscuring their view, they could clearly see the scene outside: a dead jungle and a colossal python coiled outside. Terrified, they instinctively ran out of the room. No one could remain indifferent to such a massive python.

Running away from the giant python was an instinctive reaction.

Stay as far away from the python as possible.

Upon arriving at the corridor, they saw Ji Tianhao and his two companions.

In fact, many people on the seventh floor had secretly peeked out when they heard the sounds of battle outside. After discovering that the three were fighting with the snakes, most of them did not dare to come out.

Upon seeing the giant python, they disregarded everything else and emerged from their rooms, heading towards the corridor.

Bang! Upon hearing the shouts, Ji Tianhao shoved open a door next to him with a single blow.

Hu Youni rushed in first and looked out the window.

"The fog has indeed dissipated. It seems that the fog dissipated when we stopped dropping light orbs after killing snakes. Does this fog have some special meaning? In this case, it would have been better if the fog hadn't dissipated at all."

Hu Youni said somewhat angrily.

Those orbs of light were all treasures. Now that they're all gone and no more treasures are dropping, isn't that a huge loss?

Just thinking about it made her feel a pang of heartache.

My heart aches, it aches terribly.

"The workings of nature cannot be forced. Besides, we have already gained amazing benefits from them. People should know how to be content. At least, when you are content, you won't feel so heartbroken."

Ji Tianhao looked out the window at the withered jungle, which made him feel a chill. This Guixu was truly amazing in every way.

He recalled the lawn garden he had seen on the hotel's rooftop, where all the flowers, plants, and trees had withered, just like the jungle outside. He vaguely understood that the jungle outside might have fallen into ruin along with the hotel, and that both had lost all life and withered in a short time. Such a scene was truly terrifying.

What does this mean? A vague guess lingered in my mind.

However, without giving it much thought, the immediate priority was dealing with the external situation.

boom! !

As the fog dissipated, the view outside became clearer.

The first thing you notice is that there's more than one giant python outside.

There's one on the top floor, and there should be another one on the first floor. Outside the hotel, there's also a giant python, as big as a small mountain, coiled up. That means there are at least three giant pythons here, each one an extremely terrifying ferocious creature. If they were to recklessly cause destruction, the hotel building would collapse under their attack. This is no exaggeration; the larger the size, the greater the power.

This is the most fundamental principle.

Your physique won't grow for nothing, and neither will your food intake.

Overall, this hotel is no longer safe.

The entire building, both upstairs and downstairs, was blocked off.

Escaping again would naturally be much more difficult.

This giant python clearly saw all the survivors in the hotel as prey, sealing them off completely and leaving no chance of escape.

"Old Ji, are you confident you can kill one of these giant pythons?"

Qi Lin swallowed hard and asked.

"It's hard to say. The python is enormous, incredibly strong, and very fast. Its life essence has definitely been activated, meaning it also has a life force field within its body. If a fight breaks out, I might not have the upper hand. However, it's not entirely without a chance. We'll only know after we've fought to the death. If we're forced into a situation, we'll have to fight even if we don't want to."

Ji Tianhao spoke.

The giant python is definitely a formidable enemy, and if things come to a head, a battle will be inevitable.

Look at the giant python below; it's already poised to pounce, launching wave after wave of attacks on the hotel.

"Look, over there, people are coming over there. Who are those people? They're dressed in rags, they look like refugees suffering from famine."

Just then, Hu Youni's eyes widened, and she pointed to a spot in the distance outside the window.

"Huh, it really is. Could they be natives of Guixu? It seems they're not having a good time, or rather, life in Guixu isn't so easy."

Qi Lin murmured in surprise.

He saw that group of people. The leader was alright, his clothes were acceptable, but the rest of the group were really ragged. They were not only filthy, but their clothes were also tattered. Some of the women had large areas of skin exposed, but there wasn't much to see. They were all dirty and grayish, not much different from beggars.

He was pale and thin, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not getting enough to eat.

However, at this moment they were heading towards the hotel, their eyes shining as if they had spotted a treasure they were eagerly chasing.

"They look like refugees fleeing from disaster, but they are quite strong. The leaders are, without a doubt, cultivators who have entered the cultivation stage and possess a life force field. Since they don't belong to our hotel, they must be native inhabitants of this Ruins. Now we don't know if we can make contact with them, or if they are there with goodwill or malice."

Ji Tianhao didn't mind interpreting this suddenly appearing stranger with the utmost malice.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that they had come directly towards the hotel.
