Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent

The Star Dou Great Forest truly lives up to its reputation as the largest and most pristine Soul Beast forest on the Douluo Continent.

The area here is teeming with exotic flowers, rare herbs, and strange trees, and this is only the outer edge of the forest.

Zhou Huan quite liked this kind of pristine forest.

Unfortunately, after the Spirit Pagoda appeared, it not only failed to slow down the hunting of Soul Beast, but also turned the Star Dou Great Forest into a true prison for beasts during the Legend of the Dragon King era.

Although the decline of Soul Beast was largely due to the development of Soul Tool, or rather, the advancement of technology and civilization.

However, the Spirit Pagoda also played a significant role in this process.

The original purpose of the Spirit Pagoda was to allow dying Soul Beast to form contracts with human Soul Beast, seeking a sliver of hope for becoming gods.

The result was predictable: from the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect to the era of Legend of the Dragon King, besides Huo Gua who was dragged up, did anyone else become a god?

Not to mention that the Spirit Pagoda also gradually deteriorated later on.

Looking at the still thriving Star Dou Great Forest, Zhou Huan could only silently sigh in his heart, hoping that the Imperial Auspicious Beast was safe and sound and wouldn't ruin the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thinking of this, Zhou Huan shook his head. It was a bit pretentious; these were things he shouldn't be thinking about right now.

Actually, this was his first time seeing the Star Dou Great Forest, and he was somewhat interested.

Zhou Huan never denied that he was a sentimental person, but when it came to things he was powerless to change, his sentimentality amounted to nothing more than a sigh.

The most important thing now is to find a suitable Soul Beast for Wang Qingya.

The three of them had been searching for most of the day, and the most they had encountered were naturally ten-year and hundred-year-old Soul Beast. There were a few thousand-year-old Soul Beast, but none of them were suitable for Wang Qingya.

The three of them did not hunt these low-level Soul Beast.

Upon discovering that something was inappropriate, they either scared it away or secretly bypassed it.

"Zhou Huan, I think that thousand-year-old Iron Rhinoceros Beast was pretty good. After absorbing its Soul Ring, I think my Defensive Bun will definitely improve by two levels," Wang Qingya said.

Zhou Huan shook his head. "That Iron Rhinoceros Beast isn't old enough, only three thousand years old. Besides, your third Soul Skill, Radish Bun, increases defense. Although having your Soul Ring and fourth Soul Ring skills overlap would greatly enhance the effect of the Defensive Bun, I still feel it's a bit of a waste. Let's think about it some more."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya asked, "But as a Food Type support Soul Master, shouldn't my Soul Skill power primarily focus on restoring Soul Power, increasing defense, and enhancing strength? Even with overlapping Soul Skill, as long as they're appropriate, it should be quite good, right?"

Overlapping Soul Skill are certainly good, but it depends on who it's for.

This is great for someone like Zhou Huan who doesn't lack Soul Skill, but it's not the same for Wang Qingya, who can only have nine Soul Rings.

Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "Then imagine the God of Food Douluo Oscar, his combat power is not weak. I know that Qingya, after you became familiar with a large number of combat soul tools, your combat power is also not weak, so you don't care much about the diversity of soul skills. Do you think that since they are all auxiliary, it doesn't matter if the soul skills overlap?"

After hearing this, Wang Qingya seemed to have her thoughts revealed. She nodded with her head down, but quickly smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I'm just thinking that maybe a miracle will happen again?"

Zhou Huan rolled her eyes speechlessly. "I've only ever heard of miracles happening with brute force."

At this moment, Wen Xiaoshuai suddenly blurted out, "Qingya, we can't give up on treatment."

Zhou Huan: "..." Sure enough, I've been too talkative lately, and I've even led my teammates astray.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya glared fiercely at Wen Xiaoshuai: "You're the one who's sick."

Then he sighed and said, "Alas, God, please grant me a suitable Soul Beast, and I will surely offer you three sticks of incense morning and night."

Just as Zhou Huan was about to retort that the gods here wouldn't bother with mortals unless it involved their own interests, a shadow over forty meters long suddenly attacked!

No sooner said than done, Wen Xiaoshuai instantly activated his Earth Battle Bear Martial Soul and stood in front of Wang Qingya.

But Zhou Huan was even faster. With a sliding tackle... uh, no, his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Skill, Heavenly Horse Step, was activated instantly, leaving no afterimage. In less than 0.01 seconds, he struck the long shadow with his palm!

"Crackling sound—" A long, crisp sound rang out!

Then, what appeared before the three of them was a snake that was nearly fifty meters long.

This snake has a bright red, cockscomb-shaped growth on its head, and its tail resembles the tail of a phoenix.

The snake is now completely Ice Seal!

Like a specimen from the Ice Age!

Seeing this, Wen Xiaoshuai swallowed hard, immediately withdrew his Martial Soul, and looked at Zhou Huan curiously, thinking to himself, "Brother Zhou's strength has soared again. This speed is truly worthy of being called Fast Man '!"

Even though his Soul Power was four levels higher than Zhou Huan's, he still felt that it wasn't enough to defeat Zhou Huan with a single punch.

I really can't understand how Zhou Huan is so amazing.

At this moment, Wang Qingya, who was behind Wen Xiaoshuai, also came out and said reproachfully, "You rascal, do you really think your Earth Battle Bear is so tough and invincible? You clearly have Defensive Soul Tool, why didn't you activate it?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Xiaoshuai chuckled sheepishly, "Isn't it because we were in too much of a hurry? Did you forget? Besides, it feels a bit strange to use the Earth Battle Bear while activating Defensive Soul Tool. The War Bear is originally a melee-type martial Martial Soul."

Wang Qingya didn't say anything more, only rolled her eyes at Wen Xiaoshuai, before looking at the long snake Ice Seal, her eyes lighting up. "Zhou Huan, is this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?"

Zhou Huan smiled and said, "That's right, it's Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and it's about five thousand years old. It's a kind of Soul Beast that Oscar once absorbed Soul Ring from. It's also a rare, powerful, non-venomous snake, which is perfect for Food Type Soul Master like you."

Wang Qingya was quite excited. "That's great! Now we really do need to burn incense three times a day, morning and night. I wonder which deity helped us."

Zhou Huan's lips twitched as she listened. "Your mouth must be blessed."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huan still reminded him, "Although the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent gave Oscar a flying Soul Skill back then, it might not be the same for your Baozi. However, it's most likely a Soul Skill that increases speed, which is why I said it's very suitable for you."

Wang Qingya nodded, indicating that she understood, but then she remembered something. "You've frozen it all up, so it's not dead, is it?"

Zhou Huan was speechless. "... I'm not stupid, why would I just kill it? Watch."

After speaking, Zhou Huan placed one hand on the neck of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent and gently stroked it. In the blink of an eye, the ice surrounding the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's neck melted away.

The neck of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was now fully exposed.

Its head and body remained Ice Seal, unable to move at all.

Seeing this, Wang Qingya couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhou Huan, your ice control ability is amazing! I think even the class monitor can't compare to you. You've really mastered the Ice Attribute. If only you could possess Extreme Ice like the class monitor, you would definitely be able to unleash your full power!"

Zhou Huan: "..." No, girl, I have the Extreme Ice, and I definitely don't want to end up like Huo Gua.

However, Zhou Huan couldn't say that directly, so he said, "You'd better hurry up and kill it, or it will really die."

"Okay, sure."

As she spoke, Wang Qingya took out her Great Sword, an offensive Level 4 Soul Tool.

That's right, as her strength improved, Wang Qingya also upgraded her Soul Tool to a higher level.

No other reason than that their family is rich!

As for why it's still the Great Sword, there's no other reason than practice makes perfect!

Besides, we can't lose the title of "Great Sword Sailor Moon".

Immediately afterward, under the desperate, disheartened, and fearful gaze of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, Wang Qingya cleaved off its head with a single sword stroke.

A purple Soul Ring slowly rose from the body of the dead Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Seeing this, Wang Qingya immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.

Zhou Huan and Wen Xiaoshuai naturally stood guard around Wang Qingya.

About half an hour later, Wang Qingya finally opened her eyes.

The Soul Ring was successfully absorbed!

Wang Qingya smiled excitedly, "Zhou Huan, Xiao Shuai, guess what my fourth Soul Skill is?"

Before the two could even speak, the girl answered herself, "It's flight! It really is a flight Soul Skill! The same Soul Skill as the Food God Douluo, and it can keep flying at the speed of Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for five minutes!"

Zhou Huan was somewhat shocked.

Keep in mind that Oscar's Flying Sausage can only travel at the speed of Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent for one minute.

Wang Qingya's Soul Skill was four times stronger than Oscar's.

Could this be a matter of the age of the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?

At this moment, Wang Qingya was still excited and ignored Zhou Huan and the other's surprise, and then said, "Do you think this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent might have a Soul Bone?"

Zhou Huan & Wen Xiaoshuai: "..." Girl, your idea is wonderful.

However, to fulfill Wang Qingya's high expectations, Zhou Huan waved his hand, and the entire Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent broke apart inch by inch.

However, the result was obvious: no Soul Bone was found.

Seeing this, Wang Qingya smiled awkwardly, "I knew it, no one's luck is always good. But, this trip can still be considered a success."

Zhou Huan nodded, "Okay, let's go back then. It's a bit unsafe to stay here."

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingya and Wen Xiaoshuai showed no change in expression, clearly already used to Zhou Huan's strange remarks. They always felt that the Soul Beast were the ones with the lowest safety index if they stayed here.

The three then began to walk out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, when they had walked less than ten miles, they suddenly heard the sounds of fighting!
