Finding the Target

Although Dugu Bo tried his best to remain calm, he could not hide the smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Hahaha, nothing can be hidden from you, kid."

"You guessed right. I did successfully develop the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill, but for now, it can only be consumed by spirit beasts. If Yanzi is to take it, I'm afraid we'll need more experiments and data."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yang revealed a delighted smile.

Ever since they had formulated the "Transforming Flood Dragon" plan, the two of them had invested heavily in the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill. Dugu Yang had contributed vast amounts of blood, while Dugu Bo had devoted an enormous amount of time.

After more than two years, they had finally seen the dawn of victory.

"No problem. It's just some blood. I can provide it."

Dugu Bo smiled and was about to say something more personal when he suddenly sensed several powerful auras.

"We can discuss the Dragon Blood Transforming Flood Dragon Pill later. Let's deal with the trouble in front of us first."

Dugu Yang's senses were weaker than Dugu Bo's, but with the reminder, he understood at once.

The Snake Saliva Incense had begun to take effect.

Hiss hiss—

The sounds of tongues flicking rose from all around. Dugu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately saw numerous snake spirit beasts crawling out from the grass, bushes, and even cracks between the rocks.

"Mandala Snakes, Jade Phosphorous Serpents, Ink Scale Pythons..."

With a glance, Dugu Yang spotted seven or eight kinds of snake spirit beasts. Their cultivation was not low, generally around five thousand years, and he even discovered a Ten Thousand Year Level Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent King.

Hiss hiss hiss—

Hiss hiss hiss—

Driven by the aphrodisiac effects of the Snake Saliva Incense, all the snake spirit beasts became exceptionally violent. Especially with no female snakes nearby, they began attacking their companions, who naturally fought back.

For a time, the snake spirit beasts began slaughtering one another.

"Xiaoyang, the prey hasn't come to us yet. Let's avoid this for the moment."

Dugu Bo casually killed a three-thousand-year Mandala Snake, grabbed Dugu Yang, and rapidly retreated.

Snake spirit beasts in heat were extremely terrifying. Even when facing Dugu Bo, they would still charge forward to attack.

After retreating several hundred meters and concealing their auras, the two finally avoided the snake spirit beasts' attacks.

As the Snake Saliva Incense continued to burn, more and more snake spirit beasts were drawn over. Moreover, the later arrivals possessed increasingly higher cultivation.

Upon arriving, these snake spirit beasts immediately joined the chaotic melee, making the situation utterly disorderly.

Watching this from afar, Dugu Yang grew increasingly anxious.

Although the Snake Saliva Incense had no effect on spirit beasts over fifty thousand years old, if enough Ten Thousand Year Level spirit beasts gathered, even an elephant could be bitten to death by snakes.

What was more, this was the Star Dou Forest, home to quite a few Hundred-Thousand-Year spirit beast kings.

If they noticed the disturbance here, they might very well be drawn over.

Although his Second Grandfather was the famed Poison Douluo, against any Hundred-Thousand-Year spirit beast, he would probably have no choice but to flee for his life.

Though Dugu Bo appeared calm on the surface, he was panicking inside and kept praying:

"Damn Jade Phosphor Snake King, show yourself already! Show yourself!"

Perhaps Dugu Bo's prayers worked. At last, a Jade Phosphor Snake King over ten meters long, its body covered in jade-like scales, entered their field of vision.

"A thirty-thousand-year Jade Phosphor Snake King!"

Dugu Yang and Dugu Bo spoke at the same time.

That was right. It was a thirty-thousand-year Jade Phosphor Snake King.

"Xiaoyang, stay here. I'll go capture that thing."

"Alright, but Second Grandfather, you should put away the Snake Saliva Incense first. Otherwise, the consequences will be unthinkable."

Dugu Yang reminded him.

The Snake Saliva Incense had only burned halfway. If it burned completely, it might attract several times as many snake spirit beasts. If they all died, it would certainly draw a Hundred-Thousand-Year spirit beast king.

Dugu Bo's expression changed slightly, and he nodded.

"Understood."

The next moment, a terrifying Spirit Power Aura suddenly erupted from Dugu Bo's body. In a flash, he transformed into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor and shot toward the Snake Saliva Incense.

Hiss—

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was also known as the king of all snakes. As it suddenly appeared in the air, the aura it released actually caused the snake spirit beasts in heat to regain their senses.

Although that clarity lasted only a few seconds, it was enough.

Seizing the chance, Dugu Bo swept his Snake Tail and directly coiled up the Snake Saliva Incense before rapidly flying toward the Jade Phosphor Snake King.

Hiss—

As a thirty-thousand-year snake king, the Jade Phosphor Snake King was not greatly affected by the Snake Saliva Incense. It had merely been drawn here because it happened to be in heat.

However, the trace of aura Dugu Bo had released earlier completely woke it up. Seeing the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor flying toward it with its bloody maw open, how could it not realize it had fallen into a trap? It hurriedly turned and fled.

Dugu Bo had previously spared a Ten Thousand Year Level Bloodthirsty Violent Bear because it was not his target. Now that he had found this Jade Phosphor Snake King, how could he let it go?

In just a few breaths, Dugu Bo flew above the Jade Phosphor Snake King.

Dugu Bo's Martial Soul Avatar, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, was over thirty meters long, nearly three times the size of the Jade Phosphor Snake King. Opening its massive jaws, it directly clamped the Jade Phosphor Snake King in its mouth.

Hiss—

The Jade Phosphor Snake King cried out in pain, but it felt even more fear, forcing it to turn around and bite back.

Unfortunately, the Jade Phosphor Snake King's sharp fangs could not inflict any damage upon the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's tough scales.

Even if it managed to bite through the scales, its venom would have no effect on Dugu Bo.

Thus, Dugu Bo kept the Jade Phosphor Snake King clamped in his mouth as he flew toward Dugu Yang.

As he neared the tree canopy where Dugu Yang stood, Dugu Bo did not slow down and merely lowered his Snake Tail.

Understanding at once, Dugu Yang exerted force through his legs, his body shooting several yards into the air as he grabbed the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's tail.

With the Jade Phosphor Snake King clamped in his mouth and Dugu Yang hooked by his tail, Dugu Bo flew dozens of li away before finally stopping.

The reason he had not acted at the previous location was because he feared that the rulers of the Star Dou Forest had already noticed the commotion there.

For Dugu Yang's safety and his own, Dugu Bo naturally had to find a more distant place.

After landing, Dugu Bo wasted no time. In just a few exchanges, he battered the Jade Phosphor Snake King until it was half-dead, then flew high into the air and let it fall freely.

Boom!

The ground shook. The Jade Phosphor Snake King that had been lively moments ago was now nearly a dead snake.

Dugu Bo returned to human form and appeared beside Dugu Yang.

"Xiaoyang, it's up to you."

Dugu Yang had long been prepared. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he said:

"Don't worry, Second Grandfather."
