Snake Saliva Incense

The "Poison Sac," "Poison Body Adaptation," and "Harmonization" that Dugu Yang had mastered could now completely evolve his attributes into Ultimate Poison. Therefore, the Soul Skills he needed next should lean toward combat.

What Dugu Yang needed now was a Soul Skill capable of releasing poison over a large area. Many poison-attributed soul beasts possessed such abilities.

Such as Devil Fish, Jade Phosphor Seven Absolutes Flowers, Pufferfish, and the like.

Naturally, the Jade Phosphor Snake King was among them as well.

Besides its Soul Skill, the Jade Phosphor Snake King and the Jade Phosphorous Serpent shared the same origin.

Even though Dugu Yang's Martial Soul had already evolved into the Jade Phosphor Flood Dragon, absorbing its Spirit Ring would further strengthen it.

At the same time, the Jade Phosphor Snake Poison he possessed would evolve into Jade Phosphor Snake King Poison.

It could be said that the Jade Phosphor Snake King Soul Ring was the most suitable Fourth Soul Ring for Dugu Yang.

Neither Dugu Yang nor Dugu Bo liked to delay. After confirming their target, they simply packed their belongings and headed for the Star Dou Forest to capture a Spirit Ring.

This time, Dugu Yang was looking for a Jade Phosphor Snake King that was over twenty thousand years old. A soul beast with such cultivation naturally would not be found on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Thus, after arriving at the Star Dou Forest, the two plunged straight into its Core Zone.

Unlike when he absorbed his last Spirit Ring, the Jade Phosphor Snake King was an animal-type soul beast and had no fixed territory, so Dugu Yang and Dugu Bo did not find it so easily.

"Scram!"

Accompanied by an explosive shout, a terrifying aura suddenly spread outward from Dugu Bo.

Not far away, the fur all over a Bloodthirsty Demon Bear of around ten thousand years stood on end. The ferocity in its heart was instantly replaced by fear, and after letting out a miserable howl, it turned and fled.

Soul beasts with ten thousand years of cultivation already possessed a certain degree of intelligence. When faced with a powerful enemy they could not resist, they would not foolishly charge forward to die.

Seeing the fleeing Bloodthirsty Demon Bear, Dugu Bo snorted coldly without any intention of pursuing it.

If he had truly wanted to kill it, he would not have revealed his aura at all.

"These damned soul beasts are truly annoying."

Hearing Dugu Bo's complaint, Dugu Yang chuckled.

"This is the Core Zone of the Star Dou Forest. It would be strange if there were few soul beasts here."

The two had been in the Star Dou Forest for a week already. Although they had yet to find the Jade Phosphor Snake King, they had encountered quite a few other Ten Thousand Year Level soul beasts.

To reduce unnecessary battles, Dugu Bo revealed his aura each time and drove those Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts away.

"Xiaoyang, we've been in the Star Dou Forest for so long, yet we still can't find any trace of the Jade Phosphor Snake King. It seems we can only use that method."

Dugu Yang pressed his lips together.

"But that method is too dangerous. It might attract more than just the Jade Phosphor Snake King. It could draw plenty of other snake-type soul beasts as well."

"There is no other way. If we continue searching like this, no one knows how much longer it will take."

Dugu Bo said,

"Don't worry. Snake Saliva Incense only affects snake-type soul beasts below fifty thousand years. I'm confident I can get you out safely against those soul beasts."

"This... all right."

Dugu Yang ultimately agreed. After all, Dugu Bo was right. They had searched for a week without finding any trace of the Jade Phosphor Snake King. If they kept searching, who knew how long it would take?

"However, Second Grandfather, didn't we find a shed skin from a Jade Phosphor Snake King near the southern cliff cave yesterday? There's a high chance a Jade Phosphor Snake King lives nearby. Why don't we light the Snake Saliva Incense there?"

The Snake Saliva Incense Dugu Yang spoke of was concocted from a special substance produced when female snake-type soul beasts went into heat. It had an intense aphrodisiac effect on male snake-type soul beasts, one that even Ten Thousand Year Level snake-type soul beasts could not resist.

Their plan was to use Snake Saliva Incense to lure over the Jade Phosphor Snake King.

However, Snake Saliva Incense did not only target Jade Phosphorous Serpents. It had the same effect on all snake-type soul beasts.

Once lit, it could trigger a tide of snakes.

This was also the greatest reason Dugu Yang and Dugu Bo had delayed putting the plan into action.

Dugu Bo nodded.

"Fine. Time is of the essence. Let's get there quickly."

Then, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yang and hurried toward the southern cliff cave.

As a Titled Douluo, even if he was not of the Agility Attack Type, Dugu Bo's speed was still not to be underestimated. In just a short while, he brought Dugu Yang to the base of a towering cliff. Looking up, they could see many caves scattered across the cliff face, likely made by certain soul beasts.

However, whether the soul beasts had migrated or died, the caves had now become abandoned.

"Second Grandfather, here is fine."

Dugu Yang pointed at the ground beneath their feet.

Dugu Bo gave a slight nod, then took out an incense stick as thick as a chopstick from his Storage Bracelet.

This was Snake Saliva Incense.

Though this Snake Saliva Incense was not large, its spread was extremely powerful. A single chopstick-sized stick could cover an area within twenty li.

Crack!

The flame ignited the Snake Saliva Incense. Dugu Yang immediately saw a wisp of curling smoke slowly rise into the air before spreading in all directions.

"Xiaoyang, take the Detoxification Pill. Although Snake Saliva Incense targets snake-type soul beasts, it can still have some unusual effects on us."

Dugu Bo took out two green pills the size of eyeballs. These were antidotes for Snake Saliva Incense and could effectively shield them from its effects.

Though they were not soul beasts, they possessed snake-type Martial Souls and would be affected to some extent.

However, Dugu Yang shook his head.

"I don't need one."

Dugu Bo froze for a moment, then showed a look of realization.

"I forgot that you're immune to all poisons. I truly don't know how you managed to obtain the Poison Body Adaptation Soul Skill."

Dugu Yang had consumed over a hundred kinds of deadly poison. He could absolutely be called immune to all poisons.

Even Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, envied him for this.

"If Yanzi could obtain the Poison Body Adaptation Soul Skill, she would never need to worry about the corrosion from Jade Phosphor Snake Poison again."

"Unfortunately, there may only be one Mutated Tree Poison Toad on this continent."

Hearing Dugu Bo's regretful words, Dugu Yang fell silent for a moment. It was not that he did not want Dugu Yan to obtain Poison Body Adaptation. The truth was that for an ordinary person to gain Poison Body Adaptation by absorbing a Tree Poison Toad's Spirit Ring was simply impossible.

Thus, he could only tell Dugu Bo that he had obtained the "Poison Body Adaptation" Soul Skill by absorbing the Spirit Ring of a Mutated Tree Poison Toad.

Seeing Dugu Yang like this, Dugu Bo thought he had become depressed and comforted him.

"Xiaoyang, there is no need to be like this. Besides, apart from Poison Body Adaptation, haven't we developed another way to solve the flaw of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul?"

As he said this, an inexplicable meaning entered Dugu Bo's tone.

Dugu Yang raised a brow.

"Hm? Second Grandfather, has the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill been successfully developed?"
