Star Dou Great Forest!
After a short rest in a small town a hundred miles outside the Star Dou Great Forest yesterday, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Wang Li finally entered the Star Dou Great Forest today.
Dugu Bo explained:
"Yan Yan has been eroded by the potent venom of the Bi Lin Snake since her birth. Therefore, after Yan Yan began cultivating, I dared not let her attach any fierce poisons. It wasn't until her third spirit ring that she attached a corrosive poison."
"Now with Xiao Li, Yan Yan's fourth spirit ring must be chosen carefully. Spirit Beast types like snakes, pythons, spiders, centipedes… are best, and as for the toxicity, the stronger the better."
Wang Li responded upon hearing this:
"Grandpa, I understand. I'll search and definitely find the most suitable Spirit Beast for Yan Yan Jie."
After speaking, Wang Li activated his Blue Silver Domain, and his mental force also spread outwards with the Domain.
Soon, an area of several hundred meters was completely covered by the Blue Silver Domain, and all the Blue Silver Grass gladly accepted him as their Blue Silver King.
Based on the Blue Silver Domain, a comprehensive, all-encompassing monitoring network was constructed. No rustle of leaves or gust of wind could escape Wang Li's detection.
Within the Domain, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both looked at Wang Li with astonishment; this Domain was too convenient.
According to Wang Li, the Blue Silver Domain currently had no obvious combat enhancements, but its effects of accelerating cultivation, scouting the surroundings, and communicating with plants were enough to prove its value.
At this moment, with Dugu Bo guarding him, Wang Li confidently began to filter through all the Spirit Beasts within the Domain. He saw Spirit Beasts of various ages: ten-year, hundred-year, and thousand-year.
To have more types of Spirit Beasts for reference, Wang Li led Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As they gradually went deeper, ten-year Spirit Beasts and hundred-year Spirit Beasts became increasingly scarce, while thousand-year Spirit Beasts became more and more common.
Half a day later, Wang Li suddenly widened his eyes, then solemnly said:
"Grandpa, Yan Yan Jie, I saw a purple python as thick as an adult's thigh and seven or eight meters long. It should be a Yaoming Python, at least four thousand years old. How about this Spirit Beast?"
Dugu Bo was overjoyed upon hearing this, glanced at Dugu Yan, and happily said:
"The Yaoming Python, although it doesn't have a fatal venom, its poisonous smoke specializes in breaking the five senses, turning prey into blind and deaf creatures. It doesn't rush to act, but waits until the prey's stamina is exhausted before coming out to swallow the prey alive!"
"At least four thousand years old, it is indeed suitable for Yan Yan's fourth spirit ring. Where is this Yaoming Python located?"
After calculating, Wang Li spoke:
"In the southeast direction, about six hundred meters away. This Yaoming Python should be full; it's hiding itself under broken rocks and fallen leaves. Its aura is weak, and its heartbeat is slow. If it weren't for the Domain, it really wouldn't be that easy to discover."
"Then let's go quickly!"
Knowing the location, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate at all. He took Dugu Yan and Wang Li, flying low. In a short time, they arrived at the Yaoming Python's location.
Putting down Dugu Yan and Wang Li, Dugu Bo said:
"Xiao Li, protect Yan Yan. I'll take care of this Yaoming Python first, then let Yan Yan hunt it."
Wang Li nodded in response:
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan was also somewhat excited. Without any surprise, this Yaoming Python would give her a very powerful control Spirit Ability that specifically breaks others' five senses. Even if it wasn't fatal itself, becoming blind and deaf in battle basically meant death was not far off.
At the same time, Dugu Bo's Spirit possessed him, and a strong killing intent had already locked onto the Yaoming Python hiding under the broken rocks and fallen leaves.
The purple giant python, after sensing this killing intent, no longer hid. It sprang up, opened a gaping maw, and exhaled deep purple poisonous smoke.
Because of the effect of this poisonous smoke, even Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts stronger than it usually had no way to deal with it.
It was a pity, however, that today it encountered Dugu Bo, a grandmaster of the path of poison, most skilled in using poison to counter poison.
Dugu Bo waved his hand, and he was surrounded by ghastly green poisonous mist. Then, relying on the protective poisonous mist, he passed through a large amount of purple poisonous smoke and approached the Yaoming Python.
The Yaoming Python's abdomen was bloated, likely from having eaten prey earlier and not yet fully digesting it. At this time, its strength and speed were both reduced.
Moreover, its opponent was a Titled Douluo with 93rd-level spirit power. Dugu Bo easily beat the Yaoming Python, causing it to wail repeatedly.
It rolled and vomited on the ground, trying to regurgitate the prey it had eaten earlier, then seeking an opportunity to escape.
However, Dugu Bo wouldn't give it that chance. He directly used several potent poisons: paralyzing poison, corrosive poison, Bi Lin Snake poison, Jade Phosphor Serpent poison…
Within a few short minutes, the Yaoming Python became critically ill, seemingly on the verge of sudden death at any moment.
At this point, Dugu Bo began to clean up the mess, clearing the toxins from various places, and then said:
"Yan Yan, Xiao Li, come over. Yan Yan, quickly kill it, otherwise, under my potent poisons, it won't last much longer!"
Dugu Yan was not a novice at hunting Spirit Beasts. She quickly stepped forward, took out her dagger, and directly stabbed into the Yaoming Python's brain from its eye.
In just a moment, this Yaoming Python was completely dead, and purple energy surged wildly, forming a purple spirit ring.
Then, she said to Dugu Bo and Wang Li:
"Grandpa, Xiao Li, I'll absorb this spirit ring now."
After speaking, Dugu Yan sat cross-legged, guarded her mind, summoned her Spirit, and called upon the spirit ring. The purple spirit ring then came above her head, quickly descended, and merged into her body.
Dugu Bo had also checked this Yaoming Python. It was at most about 4,600 years old, and both its type and age were most suitable for Dugu Yan.
This was indeed the case. Two hours later, Dugu Yan woke up, having successfully absorbed this spirit ring without any surprises.
Dugu Bo asked:
"Yan Yan, how is it?"
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo and Wang Li with a joyful smile, then explained:
"My fourth Spirit Ability, I call it Bi Lin Bewilderment Array. It releases a large amount of poisonous smoke to form a poisonous array. Within this poisonous array, Spirit Masters of the same level as me, as long as they come into contact with the poisonous smoke, will lose all five senses. Even Spirit Masters one major realm higher than me will be partially affected. The stronger their strength, the weaker the effect. Even if they leave the range of the poisonous array, it will take at least half an hour to flush out the toxins and restore their five senses through spirit power."
Dugu Bo and Wang Li exchanged glances, both feeling very happy.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily:
"This Spirit Ability is really good. Xiao Li's Domain is too convenient, otherwise, we really might not have been able to find this Yaoming Python."
Wang Li smiled slightly:
"It's also luck. This Yaoming Python, both its age and its poisonous smoke, happen to be suitable for Yan Yan Jie."
