Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

"Danaa~"

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

Very soon, as the Sweet Scent spread, the movements of those ten-year and hundred-year Soul Beasts immediately slowed, and as time passed, they gradually came to a halt.

"Hiss~"

Seeing this, Qing Mu could not help drawing a sharp breath. For these low-level Soul Beasts, Sweet Scent's current effect was no less potent than Sleep Powder.

But after recovering from his surprise, a smile immediately appeared at the corner of Qing Mu's mouth.

Now that he had Bulbasaur's Sweet Scent, finding Soul Beasts would no longer be as difficult as before. He only needed to find a suitable place and have Bulbasaur release Sweet Scent to lure the Soul Beasts over.

However, while Bulbasaur used Sweet Scent to attract Soul Beasts, Qing Mu did not remain idle.

Qing Mu glanced at the sun, which was almost setting. The Third Soul Ring around his body immediately lit up, and a glowing white orb soon appeared in his hand.

The next moment, Qing Mu launched the white orb above his head. As it exploded, the sky around him immediately became clear again.

Feeling his Chlorophyll trait activate, Qing Mu nodded in satisfaction. Under such circumstances, even if his luck was poor and he attracted some powerful Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he would not fear it in the slightest.

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

Faced with such absurd creatures, even Qing Mu would have to run. After all, Bulbasaur's highest evolution at present was only Ivysaur; it had not yet reached Venusaur.

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

"Sunny Day only lasts ten minutes? Still, that is more or less enough for battle."

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

Not long after Qing Mu launched the second Sunny Day, a giant silver wolf with wings beating at its sides rapidly flew toward him.

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

"A Flying Silver Wolf? No wonder I could not find any other Thousand-Year Soul Beasts nearby. So it was causing trouble."

The Flying Silver Wolf was a Top-Tier Soul Beast. Not only did it possess the highly prestigious ability of flight in Douluo Continent, but its physical qualities 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 one was present, all other carnivorous Soul Beasts would inevitably be driven away. This was the main reason Qing Mu had searched for so long without finding a single Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

After all, compared with herbivorous Soul Beasts, predator-class Soul Beasts 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 his voice to Bulbasaur. "Bulbasaur, stop using Sweet Scent and begin Growth immediately!"

"Danaa~"

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

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

To be honest, the Flying Silver Wolf was not suitable for farming experience, because it could fly. If it sensed danger, it would most likely fly away immediately.

But Bulbasaur had released Sweet Scent for so long to lure this Soul Beast here. Letting it go just like that would be far too much of a waste. No matter what, he had to try to defeat it, and it would also serve as experience for dealing with aerial targets in the future.

Somewhere in the Star Dou Great Mountain Range, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang pointed at a Jade Scale Snake in a tree that had almost blended into its surroundings and said to Meng Yiran, "Yiran, what do you think of this thousand-year Jade Scale Snake? It should be the most suitable Soul Beast we have encountered these past few days."

Meng Yiran looked at the Jade Scale Snake Chao Tianxiang was pointing at and was somewhat tempted.

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

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

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

Several hundred meters away, a snake six or seven meters long flew past like a red shadow. It had a blood-red crest on its head and long pheasant-like feathers trailing from its tail.

Seeing this, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang's eyes immediately lit up as she said in delight, "It's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent! And judging by its size, it is 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 soul skills related to flight.

One had to know that on Douluo Continent, aside from Spirit Masters with flying-type Martial Souls and Titled Douluo, other Spirit Masters had no ability to fly.

Therefore, soul skills that allowed ordinary Spirit Masters to fly were extremely scarce on Douluo Continent and counted among the finest soul 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. Since both were soul skills produced by the same Soul Bone, there should not logically have been such a vast difference between them.

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

"Alright, Grandma will bring it down for you right now."

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

Though she was not as strong as her husband, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, Snake Dowager's cultivation as a Soul Emperor still made her a high-level Combat Power on Douluo Continent.

After all, according to the original setting, there were only a little over five thousand Spirit Masters on the entire Douluo Continent at Soul King level or above, including Soul Kings.

Of course, the actual number was certainly greater than that, because the major factions—especially Spirit Hall—must have concealed quite a few powerful figures. A rough estimate would need to at least double that number to be reasonable.

"Be careful, Yiran!"

After saying that, Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang grabbed Meng Yiran with one hand, leaped onto another large tree, and rapidly chased after 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 alone in a dangerous place like the Star Dou Great Mountain Range.

However, 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 another location.
