Plot Entry Modified: Tang San Was Sent Flying by the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

Just then, the system's pleasant voice sounded in Gu Xuan's mind again.

His eyes flashed, and he could not help feeling delighted.

Another two thousand points of System Essence.

If he got a few more tasks like this,

and screwed Tang San over a couple more times,

he would soon save up 9,999 System Essence and exchange them for a batch of powerful equipment.

Meanwhile, the Shrek group successfully entered the Star Dou Great Forest.

The terrain here was extremely complex.

A considerable portion of the forest remained in its most primitive state.

There were no paths at all; they could only force their way through.

The task of clearing the way fell to Dai Mubai, who walked at the very front.

After Martial Soul Possession, blades sprang from Dai Mubai's tiger claws.

As he swung both hands, he sliced apart the thorns in their path.

Gu Xuan and Zhu Zhuqing walked at the rear of the group.

The latter heightened both her vision and hearing to their utmost limits.

She carefully observed their surroundings.

Gu Xuan remained equally vigilant.

After all, who knew what might suddenly pop out in this damn place.

Wild spirit beasts were highly aggressive.

They especially hated humans who hunted them to increase their own strength.

There might even be some crafty spirit beast lying in ambush, waiting to launch a sneak attack.

The group traveled for roughly two hours.

By then, it was already noon.

During this time, they encountered quite a few spirit beasts.

However, most were only ten-year or hundred-year level.

Whenever they encountered spirit beasts, they generally chose to avoid them rather than clash directly.

But occasionally, there were also some blind fools who came looking for death.

Those were dealt with swiftly and cleanly.

The group found an open area to rest.

However, before they could even settle down,

Zhao Wuji's loud shout startled them back to their feet.

"Everyone, get up! Something is approaching us!"

Everyone watched the surroundings vigilantly.

At the first moment, each of them summoned their Martial Soul.

That included Zhao Wuji.

This place was full of unknowns.

Even as a seventy-sixth-ranked Spirit Sage, he did not dare let down his guard in the slightest.

"Rustle—~!"

Just then, an extremely strange sound suddenly appeared.

It was particularly jarring in the quiet surroundings.

"Zhu Zhuqing, go see what it is."

Zhao Wuji's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing.

Her figure flashed, and she silently leaped upward.

The claws on her hands extended as she rapidly climbed a nearby tree as though walking on level ground.

Very soon, her cold voice came from the tree.

"It's a flying snake-type spirit beast!"

"It can't fly very high. It can only move forward about three meters above the ground."

"This snake has a bright red fleshy crest on its head. It looks even bigger than its head!"

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's description, Zhao Wuji's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's actually a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent."

He immediately identified the type of spirit beast.

"How long is this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? What color are its wings?"

Zhao Wuji looked up at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still in the tree, and asked.

He had actually overlooked the most important issue: its age.

This Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had to be at least a thousand years old before it was worth making a move.

"Its wings are pale red, and it's roughly six to eight meters long."

After only a few breaths, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came back.

The smile on Zhao Wuji's face grew wider after hearing that.

"This is a Thousand-Year Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake. Its pale red wings are the mark of its thousand-year evolution."

"Judging by its length, six to eight meters,"

"its cultivation should be between thirteen hundred and eighteen hundred years!"

"Oscar, this spirit beast is perfect for you!"

The latter's peach blossom eyes immediately lit up, his face filled with excitement.

"It's here. Everyone, be careful!"

Just then, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice rang out.

Oscar's smile instantly vanished.

Smiling now would make it too easy to celebrate too soon.

As the saying went, those who popped champagne at halftime usually did not end well.

Before anyone else could react, Zhu Zhuqing directly dove down from above.

She showed no fear despite facing a thousand-year spirit beast.

At the same time, both her claws and her First Spirit Ring lit up.

Hell Stab, activate!

As the distance closed, the others finally saw the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent Zhu Zhuqing had described.

The first thing that came into view was its enormous body.

Its appearance was exactly as Zhu Zhuqing had described.

It was around six or seven meters long.

A bright red fleshy crest sat atop its head, making it look somewhat vicious.

Its swiftly advancing body collided directly with Zhu Zhuqing.

Her Hell Stab slammed straight down at the fleshy crest atop its head.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent reacted quickly.

Although it was charging forward at high speed, it hastily tilted its snake head aside.

It cleverly avoided the attack.

Zhu Zhuqing's claw missed the crest and struck its body instead.

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent let out a muffled sound, and its forward speed immediately slowed by several degrees.

At the same time, it tilted its head and suddenly opened its mouth, spewing a cloud of seven-colored mist at Zhu Zhuqing.

Almost at the same instant, the bright red crest on its head lit up.

Its speed, which had been delayed for a moment, instantly increased again.

Just then, Tang San, who stood in the middle of the group, actually rushed out.

He had completely lost face during the Entrance Exam.

Therefore, he desperately wanted to display his true strength before everyone.

Blue Silver Death Bind!

His First Spirit Ring lit up.

Dozens of Blue Silver Grass vines burst from the ground, instantly binding the unprepared Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

The corners of Tang San's lips rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill began circulating as Mysterious Jade Hand and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track were unleashed.

The next second, he actually charged toward the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Ding!

Plot Entry extraction successful!

Please choose one of the following three Plot Entries to modify!

At this critical moment, the system's pleasant voice sounded in Gu Xuan's mind.

First, Tang San used Mysterious Jade Hand to strike the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent on the head with his palm.

Second, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent instantly erupted and shattered the Blue Silver Grass around its body.

Third, Tang San sent the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent flying.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xuan issued an order to the system in his mind.

"System, I choose the third Plot Entry."

At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face.

"Modify the third Plot Entry to: Tang San was sent flying by the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent."

Ding!

Plot modification successful!

At the same time, Tang San used Mysterious Jade Hand to strike the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent on the head with his palm.

The latter immediately let out a hiss.

Power erupted from within its body.

The Blue Silver Grass around it instantly shattered.

Then its snake tail violently lashed toward Tang San.

Tang San's expression changed, and he was horrified.

But he had no time to react at all.

Bang—~!

Tang San let out a muffled groan.

His entire body was sent flying.

He slammed heavily into a tree ten meters away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent swung its tail, intending to flee.

"Trying to run?"

While everyone else stared blankly at Tang San,

Gu Xuan, standing at the rear of the group, seized the opportunity and leaped forward.
