Plot Changed, Tang San Is No Match for the Datura Snake

A rustling sound reached the ears of the three, and a faint, fishy stench permeated the air.

A triangular snake head slowly rose from within the bushes.

"Foster father, over there!"

Tang San pulled a tinder stick from his pocket and quickly tossed it over.

The bushes were illuminated by the tinder stick.

"A Datura Snake!"

Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted instantly.

"To think it would be such a vicious creature; how could it appear in the outer perimeter?"

"I hope it is only a ten-year one."

"If it is a hundred-year one, then we have no choice but to run."

Watching the Datura Snake's body emerge segment by segment, the panic in his heart grew ever stronger.

A hundred years, and it was certainly more than a hundred years!

"Farts like thunder, shaking the heavens and shattering the earth, Luo Sanpao!"

Yu Xiaogang quickly issued the command. Luo Sanpao's body rapidly inflated, and with a loud bang, it blasted a fart toward the Datura Snake.

"Run!"

He shouted, grabbing Tang San and Ye Lin as they quickly retreated.

The Datura Snake was sent flying by Luo Sanpao's blast, but it suffered not the slightest injury, approaching the three again at an incredible speed; in the blink of an eye, it was right upon them.

"Farts like smoke, hypnotizing and inducing sleep, Luo Sanpao!"

Yu Xiaogang's second Spirit Ring flashed, and Luo Sanpao immediately opened its mouth, inhaling deeply once more.

Ye Lin said faintly, "Isn't that just sucking back in the fart it just released?"

"Cough, cough, cough,"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly began to cough violently, and the originally tense situation took on a somewhat comical turn.

Ye Lin, however, felt no tension at all, because in the plot, the resolution of this Datura Snake incident had absolutely nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang.

The hypnotic fart was released, but it was completely useless; the toxicity of the Datura Snake was far, far stronger than this hypnotic poison.

The Datura Snake approached rapidly, snapping its jaws toward Yu Xiaogang.

"Sanpao, block it!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Luo Sanpao leaped up, colliding toward the Datura Snake.

The Datura Snake swayed its body, dodging the collision, and simultaneously bit down on it in retaliation.

"Luo!"

Luo Sanpao let out a miserable cry and transformed into a streak of purple light, returning to Yu Xiaogang's body.

The Datura Snake approached again. In the original plot, Tang San could still use a white radish to counterattack, but now the white radish was still sitting in the bag back at the depression.

Now, the only thing he could use was his Silent Sleeve Arrow.

Tang San's eyes turned completely purple, allowing him to capture the movements of the Datura Snake more easily.

He raised his left hand, and the Silent Sleeve Arrow shot toward the Datura Snake's left eye with a swish.

"It hit!"

He was instantly overjoyed.

But at the very moment the sleeve arrow was about to strike, the Datura Snake blinked, using its eyelid to tightly clamp onto the arrow.

Tang San's heart skipped a beat; it was over!

He had no weapons left in his hands now, not even the short sword Yu Xiaogang had given him.

Ye Lin was stunned; this script didn't seem right!

It had changed!

Ye Lin let go of the hand she was holding onto Yu Xiaogang.

She hurriedly gathered her own spirit power, concentrating it into her right hand to manifest her martial soul, the Immortal Sword.

As the Immortal Sword appeared, an invisible aura rapidly spread outward.

It was the pressure emanating from the Immortal Sword.

The Datura Snake's body paused for a brief moment before charging forward again.

Ye Lin threw the Immortal Sword in her hand directly at the Datura Snake.

In the original plot, the Datura Snake had bitten down on the blade, and the long sword had pierced through its brain from the inside.

But clearly, the Immortal Sword did not enter the Datura Snake's mouth; it simply landed on the Datura Snake's body. Even so, the sharp blade cut the Datura Snake, causing it great pain as it let out continuous, strange cries.

[The Immortal Sword thrown by Ye Lin landed on the Datura Snake...]

"Change 'body' to 'mouth'."

Ye Lin hurriedly urged the system to alter the plot content.

That Immortal Sword rapidly changed, transforming into a streak of light that landed right on the snake's mouth.

She was instantly struck by embarrassment.

[The Immortal Sword thrown by Ye Lin landed on the mouth of the Datura Snake...]

"Change it again!"

"Change 'on' to 'inside'!"

The Datura Snake weirdly opened its maw and bit down on the Immortal Sword in one go.

"Pfft!"

The Datura Snake's body suddenly stiffened; the Immortal Sword had completely pierced through its brain from the inside.

Its body began to roll frantically, destroying everything from bushes to small trees, sending branches and leaves flying in all directions.

Ye Lin ran for her life without looking back, only stopping to catch her breath once she was well out of the range of its death throes.

That scared me to death.

As the Datura Snake died, a yellow century-level Spirit Ring slowly condensed above its snake head.

Ye Lin stared at that century-level Spirit Ring and muttered, "It looks like my first Spirit Ring is settled; I can't let this go to waste."

On the other side, Yu Xiaogang had already dragged Tang San dozens of meters away, and the two of them were panting heavily.

"It's fine now, that spirit beast didn't chase us."

Tang San suddenly realized a major problem, "Where is Ye Lin!"

"Hm!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment and looked to his right, only to find it completely empty.

"Could she have been eaten by the Datura Snake?"

"This is my fault. Let's leave quickly to avoid the Datura Snake catching up; I will reflect on this matter."

"We must not let Ye Lin's good intentions go to waste."

Ye Lin, who was walking over slowly from behind, heard Yu Xiaogang's words directly, and her expression immediately turned ugly.

"Grandmaster, what are you talking about?"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned once again. He turned around stiffly, "Nothing."

"Ye Lin, why did you let go of my hand just now?"

He took the lead by asking in a reproachful tone, "Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?"

"It's fine," Ye Lin said indifferently, "The Datura Snake bit down on my martial soul, and the blade pierced its brain. The Datura Snake is already dead."

"Dead!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned, "That really is quite a coincidence."

He left the second half of his sentence unsaid: if only this coincidence had been caused by Tang San, it would have been perfect for Tang San to absorb the Spirit Ring.

Yu Xiaogang comforted himself, but since Ye Lin would be taken as his disciple sooner or later anyway, thinking about it this way was also acceptable.

"Since that's the case, you should absorb this Spirit Ring; don't waste it."

The three of them returned to the spot.

Ye Lin sat cross-legged, her martial soul, the Immortal Sword, hovering in mid-air as she used her spirit power to guide the Datura Snake's Spirit Ring toward her.

The yellow Spirit Ring flashed and settled onto the Immortal Sword, and surging energy rapidly rushed toward her.

However, every surge of scorching energy was cleaved apart by the edge of the Immortal Sword, eventually being absorbed by Ye Lin.

Tang San watched this scene before him, a look of envy appearing in his eyes.
