The Black Mandala Snake Was a Little Strange

The Black Mandala Snake Was a Little Strange

"Heaven-Shattering Earth-Splitting Hypnosis, Luo San Pao!"

Luo San Pao leaped into the air, his entire belly swelling several times larger than before!

"Rumble!!"

A heaven-shaking blast rang out as an incomparably foul stench spread in an instant.

The surrounding plants visibly withered beneath the unbearable odor.

The Black Mandala Snake tilted its head to one side. Since the fart had a hypnotic effect, its movements slowed considerably.

"This is truly strange. Why would a several-hundred-year-old Black Mandala Snake appear here?!"

Although the Mandala Snake had slowed down, Grandmaster did not dare relax in the slightest.

He led Qin Feng and Tang San in a desperate run while choosing the best route to dodge!

But the surroundings were dense jungle with complicated terrain, and only one path lay before them!

To be honest, Grandmaster was extremely frustrated. How had they encountered such a terrifying venomous creature as a Black Mandala Snake in a place like this?!

This was the outer region of Beast Hunting Forest. Normally, two-hundred-year-old spirit beasts were the limit here.

Yet this Black Mandala Snake was over four hundred years old. By all reason, it absolutely should not have appeared here!

"Teacher, how did you know this snake was several hundred years old?!"

After hearing Grandmaster's words, Tang San asked in surprise.

His teacher had identified the spirit beast's age at a glance. Was there some secret to it?!

"Xiao San, Xiao Feng, today I'll teach you a theory: more rings and more bones, unleash a wave of skill power; fewer rings and fewer bones, turn and run! The rings refer to Spirit Rings, while the bones refer to spirit bones. I'll explain the details to you later. Simply put, you can judge a spirit beast's age and combat strength through its size and length. This Mandala Snake is over four meters long, so it should be a four-hundred-year-old spirit beast. Its combat power far surpasses ours."

Grandmaster answered as he ran.

At that moment, the Mandala Snake was incredibly fast, practically seeming to fly.

"This snake is highly venomous. San Pao, stop it!"

Grandmaster ordered Luo San Pao, who was running even faster than they were.

San Pao immediately turned around, then leaped into the air. After swallowing two carrots, he let out another earth-shaking, foul fart!

Yet, perhaps because it had learned from before, a figure quickly flew out from the black mist.

With his short arms and short legs, San Pao was instantly clamped tightly in the Black Mandala Snake's jaws, like a beast biting down on a piece of meat.

"Come back!"

At Grandmaster's cry, San Pao, who had just been tightly bitten by the Mandala Snake, vanished from where he was.

The Mamba Snake was getting faster and faster, and was about to catch up to them!

In his urgency, Tang San took several carrots from his Soul Tool and hurled them at the Mandala Snake!

"What precise technique!"

Grandmaster looked at Tang San in surprise.

"Take my hammer!"

After Tang San attacked, Qin Feng seized the moment while the Mandala Snake was stunned and raised his hammer for a savage blow.

"Be careful!"

Grandmaster shouted at Qin Feng.

Running ahead of them, he had never expected Xiao Feng to turn back.

"Feng Ge!"

Tang San was also startled by Qin Feng charging out like that. He immediately activated his Purple Demon Eyes to track the Mandala Snake's movements and joined the battle with him.

Grandmaster beside them was so anxious that he stamped his feet.

At level twenty-nine, even he did not dare directly clash head-on with this Mandala Snake.

Yet these two children had actually charged straight at it.

Unfortunately, his San Pao was useless. After using three attacks, he was basically unable to launch a fourth.

"I'll draw its attention. Use your Sleeve Arrow to strike its Seven-Inch Spot."

Qin Feng said to Tang San, who had rushed over.

A flash of surprise crossed Tang San's eyes when he heard that. Feng Ge's thoughts were exactly the same as his.

Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. While the Mandala Snake was entangled with Qin Feng, he took aim with his Sleeve Arrow and pierced through the Mandala Snake's throat.

"Not bad, not bad."

Qin Feng clapped his hands, looking at Tang San with great satisfaction.

He could have killed this Mandala Snake himself, but he was not particularly interested in its Spirit Ring.

"It worked?!"

Grandmaster ran over, disbelief in his eyes.

Two level-ten children had actually joined forces to defeat a four-hundred-year-old spirit beast—and a venomous Mandala Snake at that. If word got out, people would probably think they were crazy!

Forget level-ten children—even a level-thirty-one Soul Elder would have to think twice.

After all, the Mandala Snake's speed was right there, and it was highly venomous too!!

"Teacher, this snake seemed rather distracted, and it was full of openings."

Tang San said to Grandmaster.

It seemed that the snake had never considered them opponents. When he had just engaged it, he could clearly sense that it had no desire to fight and only wanted to rush desperately toward his teacher.

It was precisely because it had not taken them seriously that Tang San had been able to finish it in one move.

Otherwise, even with his Purple Demon Eyes and Mystic Jade Hand, he would have needed to put in some effort.

"Distracted?"

A doubtful look flashed through Grandmaster's eyes.

But that expression vanished the instant a yellow Spirit Ring appeared!

"Xiao San, the Mandala Snake's Spirit Ring has appeared. This Spirit Ring possesses extremely strong defensive properties and carries venom as well. I believe it is currently the best choice for your Blue Silver Grass!"

Grandmaster looked at Tang San, excitement showing on his calm face.

"Teacher, my martial soul is of the plant type. Can I really absorb the Mandala Snake's Spirit Ring?"

A trace of hesitation appeared in Tang San's eyes.

"Xiao San, absorb it quickly. No one in this world has ever said that plant-type martial souls cannot absorb a Mandala Snake's Spirit Ring."

The Spirit Ring flickered as if it might disperse. Qin Feng glanced at it and urged him on. If he did not absorb it soon, the Spirit Ring would truly disappear.

"That's right. No one in this world has ever said that Spirit Rings are restricted in that way. According to my research, even plant-type martial souls can absorb Spirit Rings from non-plant spirit beasts. It is only because no one in this world has ever done so that everyone considers it taboo. Xiao San, are you willing to trust your teacher and try it once?"

Grandmaster came before Xiao San, crouched down, and held Tang San's shoulders. His dim eyes now shone with a light they had never possessed before.

Over the years, because his theories had never been put into practice, many high-level Spirit Masters had dismissed his research on martial souls with contempt.

All theories should proceed from theory to practice. Grandmaster now needed someone who could help him put his theories into practice.

And that person was Tang San.

"Yes, I trust Teacher."

Tang San nodded heavily.

He then sat cross-legged. The instant he closed his eyes to meditate, a Spirit Ring glowing yellow appeared above his head.

As he watched the Spirit Ring slowly merge with him, anticipation surged in Grandmaster's eyes.

"Is Xiao San's absorption causing such a huge disturbance? Why are all these little spirit beasts fleeing as if facing a great enemy?"

Qin Feng looked toward the quiet distance in confusion.

The delayed second update is here. Thank you for the support, thank you for the support. The author was a little busy today, so the update came rather late.
