Just as they were puzzled, the python's head began to shake. Thinking that the python was not dead yet, they quickly stepped back. Victor even took a fighting stance, ready to give the half-dead python a heavy blow.
However, something that shocked them occurred. After the python's head moved, its mouth opened by itself, and then a figure covered in red and black walked out of the python's mouth.
When Ye Li smelled the fresh air outside again, he felt a little touched in his heart. The snake's mouth was really too smelly.
When he entered the snake's mouth, the snake's mouth was full of a fishy smell, and when he attacked the giant python, blood spurted out and he was covered in the smell of blood.
Finally, when the giant python's head was burnt, his entire body was stained with the black color of charcoal and became burnt and smelly.
Ye Li now had a mixture of various foul odors on his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the vomiting stopped after leaving Shekou. The air outside was very fresh. After taking a few breaths, Ye Li finally recovered completely.
The spiritual energy in his body was almost exhausted, but Ye Li's physical strength was extremely strong, so he was not afraid of encountering any more enemies. Anyway, although his combat effectiveness had decreased, it would not be lower than that of the late Yuantai period.
Victor, Lesas and the others recognized Ye Li and their mouths opened wide for a long time.
"Brother Ye Li, was it you who did that just now!?"
Victor asked, swallowing.
It was really hard for him to accept that the giant python that he, a master in the Concentration Stage, had been unable to kill for a long time could die so easily at Ye Li's hands.
Of course he didn't know that it was not easy for Ye Li to kill the giant python. If someone else did it, it would definitely be a dead end.
First of all, he was able to see the giant python's attack clearly, all thanks to the power of Ye Li's spiritual consciousness after combining with the purple energy.
Secondly, he was able to successfully avoid the snake's fangs and rush into the snake's mouth because of Ye Li's sudden burst of extremely fast speed.
Ye Li was able to withstand the pressure from the giant python's tongue and the muscles of his upper and lower jaws when the talisman dissipated, because his physical strength had reached the late Yuantai period.
Even if an average person can accomplish the first two things, if he fails to meet the third condition, he will still end up in pieces.
What's more, after entering the giant python's esophagus, if one does not have the ability to cut open the giant python's esophageal wall and fix oneself there, ordinary people will only continue to fall along the extremely slippery esophagus with nowhere to gain support.
Once it falls into the stomach, there is basically no way to save it.
Only when so many conditions came together could Ye Li kill this giant python in the late stage of the Void God Stage in such a strange and wonderful way.
Ye Li heard Victor's question, nodded, and said: "Ah, I thought before that if we didn't kill this beast, we might be killed by it at any time, so I chose to fight to the death.
I think it would be difficult to hurt the giant python with my strength, as its defenses are simply beyond my ability to penetrate.
That's why I set my sights on getting inside the python's body, thinking that maybe I could kill it directly from within.
In the end, I chose to enter the python's mouth, and indeed, I broke through the python's defense from the inside."
After hearing what Ye Li said, several people looked at Ye Li as if he were a monster. Leitos said, "Brother Ye, I really admire you. I originally thought that I was a fool and a daredevil, but now it seems that you are even braver than me."
Ye Li touched his head and said, "I had no choice. Under the previous circumstances, if I hadn't taken some risks, we would probably all be dead now, with only Senior Victor left."
Victor looked at Ye Li with admiration and said, "Brother Ye, you are truly the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. Bar none. You are the best in both cultivation and character."
Victor was generous with his praise. Ye Li’s help to the team along the way was no less than his.
It can even be said that without Ye Li, the team would probably be empty now.
The other people all looked at Ye Li with gratitude. Without Ye Li's life-threatening action just now, they would all be dead now.
Ye Li looked at the mess on his body. Now was not the time to change clothes, so he flicked his fingers and sent out a basic water spell.
This was the sea, and the water-based spiritual energy was extremely abundant. In an instant, a stream of clear spring water rushed towards Ye Li, washing away the blood stains on his body. At least there was no more stench.
Victor listened to the roars of beasts coming from other areas not far away and said, "It seems that there are such powerful monsters everywhere here. Other teams are probably facing the same danger now. I don't know how many teams can finally reach the central stone hall.
I hope that there will be no one left, and only us, so that we don’t have to fight for the treasures that may appear. "
Everyone rested for a while, and Ye Li also took some pills and other things to try to restore the spiritual energy in his body as soon as possible.
Then they hurriedly left the second-level island and rushed towards the center.
Originally, Ye Li wanted to recover his spiritual energy before leaving, but Victor was worried that if he went too late, someone would get to the Stone Palace first, so he decided to move forward and see what the situation was.
If there was a monster more powerful than the giant python ahead, he would immediately give up the action and take everyone back to the boat.
If there are no monsters ahead and the stone palace is the only one that can be entered, then they will rest at the entrance of the stone palace to avoid being rushed into by others.
After hearing his suggestion, everyone thought about it and agreed. After all, this method seemed pretty good.
Although Ye Li's spiritual energy was exhausted, his speed of recovering spiritual energy was very fast. Combined with the pill he had just taken, Ye Li estimated that by the time they reached the central stone hall, one third of his spiritual energy would be restored.
Although it is only one third, it should be enough for self-protection and fighting, so Ye Li is not too worried.
They did not encounter any more monsters along the way. It seemed that the giant python they had just encountered was the strongest monster they had ever encountered.
The group soon reached the deepest part of the second-level island, where there was a very narrow passage that connected to the central island where the stone temple was located.
The nine people looked at the huge stone palace not far away, and their faces showed extremely excited expressions.
Ye Li could feel from the air that the life energy here was richer than outside. The stone hall in the center was constantly emitting bursts of life force.
He estimated that even if he could not find a treasure that could provide life force, he could still advance to the Virtual God Stage by just sitting here and practicing for a few months, and by absorbing the life energy here.
