Dugu Bo's Frustration

"Which one should I follow?"

Dugu Bo frowned slightly. After thinking it over, he decided to follow Riko.

After all, Riko was their guide.

And no matter what, Prometheus was Saundin's adopted daughter. He surely would not be so heartless as to truly use her for an experiment. Even if she were a dog, after raising her for so many years, he would have developed feelings for her... Still, before chasing after Riko, Dugu Bo left behind a small jade-green snake.

The Nine-Section Jade Serpent.

This snake was extraordinarily venomous. If an ordinary person were bitten, they would turn into a puddle of pus within moments.

This Nine-Section Jade Serpent had been raised by Dugu Bo since childhood. Though it was not a Soul Beast, it possessed intelligence, especially after Dugu Bo, with the combined help of Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Romantina, constructed the Martial Cauldron Soul Furnace based on the human body's Meridians and opened up the Inner Scenery World. The spiritual nature of the Nine-Section Jade Serpent, which had remained by his side for years, had also been affected. It had become more agile than before, and even developed a trace of Soul Power within its body. It had the potential to become a Soul Beast.

Leaving it behind to watch over Prometheus's safety was more than sufficient in Dugu Bo's view.

"Dad, where are we going?"

After Riko left, Saundin confirmed that Prometheus's feelings were impure. To minimize his losses, he decided to begin the experiment immediately, using her alongside the other expendable materials to allow himself to undergo evolution once again!

Yet Prometheus still naively believed that Saundin wanted her to observe the other experiments so she could make up her mind.

"To complete the experiment."

Saundin had not wanted to pay her any more
