Chapter 11 The Crimson-Tailed Triangular Serpent and the Poisonous Dragon
"Grandpa! Help!"
Sudden!
Just as Dugu Bo was about to capture the 2,500-year-old Crimson-Tailed Triangular Serpent, he suddenly heard his grandson's cry for help.
The next moment, Dugu Bo turned his head and saw a huge python, more than twenty meters long, opening its blood-red mouth to bite Dugu Lin.
"Court death!"
Whoosh!
Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat, his mind instantly tensed, and he unleashed the fastest speed he had ever used. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Dugu Lin, and with a single strike containing the primal poison of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, he sent the giant python flying. The next second, he was ready to poison the giant python to death.
"Grandpa, don't kill it!"
"What's wrong?"
Dugu Lin hurriedly said, "Please take a look and see if it's a poison-attribute soul beast?"
"Hmm? It looks somewhat like a black-striped venomous python, but it doesn't quite look like one. Could it be a mutated soul beast?"
However, even though it is not a black-striped venomous python, the patterns on its body are exactly the same as those of a black-striped venomous python.
However, if we say it is a black-striped venomous python, then the black-striped venomous python that has lived for ten thousand years is only ten meters long, while the black-striped venomous python in front of us is obviously more than twenty meters long!
Dugu Bo felt this snake was incredibly weak, as if he could crush it with a flick of his wrist. Yet, he also felt it was anything but weak, having survived a fatal blow from his own attack. In short, everything about it seemed strange.
Dugu Lin laughed and said, "Grandpa, look at its forehead, isn't there a bump on it?"
"This...this is transforming into a dragon!"
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply as he looked in surprise at the dragon he had almost poisoned to death.
"Haha~~ Grandpa, we're so lucky! It's a poisonous soul beast that's about to transform into a dragon, and its bloodline purity looks really high. It should be able to improve the quality of my martial soul."
"Mm." Dugu Bo nodded.
"Grandpa, although we can't determine the age of the poisonous dragon, we can kill it and see the color of its spirit ring. If the color is lighter, I'll choose it as my first spirit ring!"
"Let's kill him first and see how old he is."
Dugu Bo had to choose between the Poisonous Flood Dragon and the Crimson-Tailed Triangular Serpent. Although both were poisonous spirit beasts, he preferred the Poisonous Flood Dragon. This was because the Poisonous Flood Dragon had a stronger dragon bloodline, which, while it couldn't evolve his spirit, could improve its quality.
"Yes, Grandpa held it down for me!"
Dugu Bo intervened, using his soul power to suppress the poisonous dragon to the ground, rendering it motionless.
Dugu Lin immediately grabbed a knife and stabbed it into the eye of the black-striped poisonous dragon!
"Hiss~~"
After uttering its last hiss, the venomous dragon breathed its last.
Soon, a light purple spirit ring condensed, making Dugu Lin's eyes burn with desire.
Dugu Bo said in surprise, "Judging from the strength of this poisonous dragon, I thought it would have a lifespan of five thousand years! But it turns out it only has a soul ring that is barely over two thousand years old! Lin'er, how about... we change to another one?"
After discerning the age of the venomous dragon, Dugu Bo began to hesitate again.
After consuming three pieces of Whale Glue, Dugu Lin's current physical condition is fully capable of withstanding spirit rings with a lifespan of over 2,500 years.
If one were to absorb this barely two-thousand-year-old soul ring, one would be a full five hundred years weaker than the Crimson-Tailed Triangular Serpent!
Dugu Bo always felt he had been cheated.
Dugu Lin shook his head and said, "No, this is fine! Mutant soul beasts have a high chance of producing good soul skills! Maybe we can even get an amplification-type soul skill."
If possible, Dugu Lin would definitely want all four of his first four rings to be amplification-type soul skills!
Moreover, it's obvious at a glance that the Crimson-Tailed Triangular Serpent will definitely unleash a poison-attribute soul skill, which is not what Dugu Lin wants.
Therefore, Dugu Lin wanted to take a gamble on this venomous python that was about to transform into a dragon.
Upon hearing that it might be an amplification-type soul skill, Dugu Bo was somewhat tempted and asked, "Are you sure you want this?"
"Yes, this is it."
Actually, Dugu Lin was a little hesitant when it came to absorbing spirit rings. He was a reincarnated person, not someone who had truly been reborn from the future! Absorbing spirit rings was a first for him; he had no experience.
Moreover, since his first spirit ring was a two-thousand-year spirit ring, he was still a little worried that something unexpected might happen.
Reincarnating to a fantasy world, becoming a god, and achieving immortality are all very tempting, but life is the most important thing.
Moreover, the thousand-year soul ring has already surpassed the third ring of everyone else on the Douluo Continent!
Having decided to absorb the Poisonous Flood Dragon's soul ring, Dugu Lin, who was already impatient, immediately sat down cross-legged. After calming his excited emotions, he used his soul power to activate the Poisonous Flood Dragon's purple soul ring.
Release the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul, and then continue to use soul power to guide the soul ring to slowly float over and be placed on the martial soul.
The energy within the spirit ring was extremely strong, surging into Dugu Lin's body all at once, causing Dugu Lin to let out a muffled groan.
Fortunately, the age of the absorbed spirit rings was far below the body's limit, so the process of absorbing spirit rings was not very painful.
At the same time, the Jade Phosphor Serpent also felt pain, and a look of agony appeared on its small face.
Dugu Bo looked at the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul with surprise and exclaimed, "I never expected that when absorbing a Soul Ring, a detached martial soul could also feel the pain of Soul Power filling its meridians! This is truly unprecedented!"
Less than half an hour.
Dugu Lin easily absorbed the Poisonous Flood Dragon's soul ring, jumped up excitedly, and his face was full of joy.
"Lin'er, how is it? What kind of soul skill does it have?"
Dugu Bo was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of soul skill effect the first ring in two thousand years would have.
"Hmm, let me see!"
"Hiss~~"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade Phosphor Serpent excitedly flicked its tongue and then obediently rubbed its head against Dugu Lin. Dugu Lin also rubbed the little head of the Jade Phosphor Serpent, which had grown from half a meter to a meter in length, and said, "Little snake, come on, use your first soul skill: Jade Phosphor Aura!"
Buzz~~
The purple soul ring trembled slightly, and then the soul power of both Dugu Lin and Jade Phosphor Serpent trembled, and their auras suddenly increased.
Instantly, an even more abundant soul power filled his entire body, making Dugu Lin feel as if he could kill ten bulls with a single punch!
Dugu Lin exclaimed with delight, "As expected! I've obtained an amplification-type soul skill!"
Dugu Bo also exclaimed with delight, "An amplification-type soul skill? That's fantastic!"
"Grandpa, I named my first soul skill: Jade Phosphor Halo! It can increase all my attributes, such as strength, speed, soul power, and defense, by 20%, and there are no side effects! After that, every time I add a soul ring, the amplification effect of all attributes will increase by 10%! The duration of the soul skill is half an hour, and soul skills cannot be stacked! In addition, the soul skill can also increase poison resistance by 50%, but poison resistance will not increase with the addition of soul rings."
Poison resistance is useless to Dugu Lin, because he will soon consume those two Immortal Herbs to temper his body with ice and fire, making him immune to all poisons and impervious to ice and fire.
