Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

"Da Na~"

Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, Bulbasaur immediately increased its output of Sweet Scent.

Very quickly, as the Sweet Scent spread, the movements of those ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts immediately slowed, gradually coming to a standstill as time passed.

"Hiss~"

Seeing this, Qing Mu could not help sucking in a breath. Against these low-level soul beasts, the effect Sweet Scent currently displayed was no less potent than Sleep Powder.

But after coming back to his senses, a smile immediately appeared at the corner of Qing Mu's lips.

Now that he had Bulbasaur's Sweet Scent, finding soul beasts would no longer be as difficult as before. He only needed to reach a suitable location and have Bulbasaur release Sweet Scent to draw the soul beasts over.

However, while Bulbasaur was releasing Sweet Scent to lure soul beasts over, Qing Mu did not sit idle.

Qing Mu glanced at the nearly set sun, and the Third Spirit Skill ring around his body immediately lit up. A white orb radiating dazzling light soon appeared in his hand.

The next moment, Qing Mu fired the white orb above his head. As it exploded, the skies around him immediately became clear once more.

Feeling his Chlorophyll trait activate, Qing Mu nodded in satisfaction. Under these conditions, even if his luck was poor enough to attract some powerful Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he was not the slightest bit afraid.

Of course, that only applied to normal ones. If it was something like a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear or a Lucky Beast, that would be another matter entirely.

Against such absurd creatures, even Qing Mu as he was now would have to run. After all, Bulbasaur's highest evolutionary form at present was only Ivysaur; it had yet to reach Venusaur.

Around ten minutes later, Sunny Day's light faded, and the sky dimmed once more.

"Sunny Day only lasts ten minutes? Still, that's more or less enough for combat."

Qing Mu stroked his chin, then fired another Sunny Day above his head.

Not long after Qing Mu launched the second Sunny Day, a massive silver wolf, its wings beating, rapidly flew toward Qing Mu's group.

When Qing Mu saw the soul beast flying toward them, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

"It's actually a Flying Silver Wolf. No wonder I couldn't find any other Thousand-Year Soul Beasts nearby. So it was the one causing trouble."

The Flying Silver Wolf was a Top-Tier Soul Beast. Not only did it possess the exceedingly prestigious ability of flight in Douluo Continent, but its physical attributes were no weaker than soul beasts like the Great Strength Vajra Bear, which was renowned for its strength.

Most importantly, Flying Silver Wolves lived in packs. Wherever a Flying Silver Wolf was found, other carnivorous soul beasts would inevitably be driven away. That was the main reason Qing Mu had searched for so long without finding a single Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

After all, compared to herbivorous soul beasts, soul beasts that occupied the role of predators were undoubtedly stronger and relatively more likely to break through to the thousand-year level.

Upon seeing the Flying Silver Wolf, Qing Mu immediately activated Mind Link and transmitted to Bulbasaur, "Bulbasaur, stop using Sweet Scent and start growing immediately!"

"Da Na~"

Bulbasaur nodded. The seed on its back immediately stopped releasing its pink fragrance, while its body rapidly grew larger.

Qing Mu then turned his gaze toward the Flying Silver Wolf approaching them, narrowing his eyes.

To be honest, Flying Silver Wolves were not suitable for farming experience, because they could fly. If they sensed that things were going badly, they would most likely fly away immediately.

But this was a soul beast that Bulbasaur had lured over after releasing Sweet Scent for so long. Letting it go like this would be far too regrettable. No matter what, he had to try to defeat it. It would also count as gaining experience for dealing with aerial targets in the future.

Somewhere within the Star Dou Great Mountain Range, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang pointed at a Jade Scale Snake nearly blended into the surrounding environment atop a tree and said to Meng Yiran, "Yiran, what do you think of this thousand-year Jade Scale Snake? It should be the soul beast most suitable for you that we've encountered these past few days."

Meng Yiran looked at the Jade Scale Snake Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang had indicated, somewhat tempted.

Her martial soul was the Serpent Cane. After acquiring this Jade Scale Snake, she might gain a poison-type spirit skill, and its power should be quite impressive.

"Alright, then I'll choose it for my Third Spirit Skill—"

Just as Meng Yiran was about to nod in agreement, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang suddenly brought her to the top of a tree.

Several hundred meters away from them, a snake six or seven meters long, with a blood-red crest on its head and long pheasant-like tail feathers trailing behind it, flashed past like a red shadow.

Seeing this, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang's eyes immediately lit up as she exclaimed in delight, "It's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent! And judging by its size, it's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent between thirteen hundred and eighteen hundred years old!"

"Grandma, I don't want the Jade Scale Snake anymore. I want that Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent as my third Soul Ring!"

Meng Yiran pointed at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent flying in the distance and shouted excitedly.

Phoenix-tail Crested Serpents were rare soul beasts, because they had a certain chance of producing spirit skills related to flight.

One had to know that on Douluo Continent, apart from flight-type martial souls and Titled Douluo, all other soul masters lacked the ability to fly.

Therefore, spirit skills that allowed ordinary soul masters to fly were exceedingly scarce on Douluo Continent and were among the most supreme spirit skills.

This could be seen from the fact that Tang San's current hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone actually came with a flight ability. They were spirit skills produced by the same Soul Bone, so logically, the disparity between them could not possibly be so great.

That left only one possibility: flight-type spirit skills held an exceptionally high status on Douluo Continent, perhaps even comparable to the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's other spirit skill.

"Alright, Grandma will help you bring it down."

After hearing Meng Yiran's words, six Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black—appeared beside Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang.

Though she was inferior to her husband, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Snake Dowager's Soul Emperor cultivation was still high-end Combat Power on Douluo Continent.

After all, according to the original novel's setting, there were only slightly over five thousand soul masters above the Soul King level on the entire Douluo Continent, including Soul Kings.

Of course, the actual number was definitely greater than that. The major factions, especially Spirit Hall, undoubtedly had quite a few hidden experts. A rough estimate would need to at least double that figure to be reasonable.

"Be careful, Yiran!"

After saying that, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang immediately grabbed Meng Yiran with one hand, leaped onto another large tree, and rapidly pursued the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Although this would somewhat affect her speed, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang would never feel at ease leaving her precious granddaughter in a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Mountain Range.

Yet just when they finally caught up with the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, it seemed to be drawn by something. It immediately changed direction and accelerated toward a certain location.
