"Cockscomb Serpent?" Jiang Siming said aloud.

He thought to himself, It wouldn't be that one, would it?

"A 6 to 8-meter Cockscomb Serpent, its cultivation is likely between 1,300 and 1,800 years," Tang San quickly analyzed.

"Little Ao, your spirit ring has arrived," Zhao Wuji said with a grin.

"The Cockscomb Serpent itself is non-venomous; it is a rare and powerful non-venomous snake. It attacks by coiling its body around enemies to suffocate them. Its methods are very singular, but its speed is incredibly fast. Because of the various nutrients stored in its fleshy crest, it can grant itself a burst of speed in times of crisis. If you obtain this spirit ring, your next spirit skill should be related to speed," Tang San explained rapidly.

"Mubai, Little San. I'll leave this big guy to you two," Zhao Wuji said.

"You got it." Dai Mubai clenched his fists and released his spirit. Tang San also released his spirit, and his Blue Silver Grass shot out to obstruct the Cockscomb Serpent's movements. With his first spirit skill, Bind, the Cockscomb Serpent couldn't break free for a moment. Dai Mubai seized the opportunity, and his White Tiger Light Wave knocked the Cockscomb Serpent down. He then activated White Tiger Vajra Transformation, charged forward, and slammed his tiger claws onto the Cockscomb Serpent's head, knocking it unconscious.

After finishing everything, Dai Mubai clapped his hands.

"Little Ao, it's all yours."

"Hehe, thanks, Boss Dai and Little San." Oscar drew his dagger, and just as he was about to finish off the snake—

A sharp shout suddenly came from afar: "Stop!"

Everyone looked up, alert and ready for battle.

Immediately after, two figures darted out from the direction the Cockscomb Serpent had come from. Both were female, one old and one young. The older one looked to be sixty or seventy years old. Her hair was completely gray, but despite her age, she was full of vigor. She held a three-meter-long snake-headed staff in her right hand, and the six spirit rings on her body indicated she was a Spirit Emperor. The young girl behind the old woman looked to be about sixteen or seventeen, her well-developed figure tightly wrapped in a sleek outfit. Her large, deep brown eyes were fixed firmly on the Cockscomb Serpent on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji also released his spirit. Seven spirit rings rose slowly.

The old woman's expression changed.

"Is there something you need?" Zhao Wuji glanced at the old woman, his gaze falling on the snake-headed staff in her hand. He seemed to realize something, and his tone wasn't overly harsh.

"Greetings, respected Spirit Saint. We actually discovered this Cockscomb Serpent first. You can check the belly of the Cockscomb Serpent to see if it was injured previously," the old woman said, softening her expression. After all, she was the weaker party at the moment.

Zhao Wuji gave Tang San a look. Tang San understood immediately and checked, finding a wound from a staff strike. He nodded at Zhao Wuji. However, it was clear that Zhao Wuji wouldn't let it go.

"May I ask your name, senior?" Zhao Wuji asked coldly.

"I wouldn't dare. I am Chao Tianxiang. Thanks to the kindness of friends in the spirit master world, I have been given the title of Snake Granny. My husband is Meng Shu, known as the Dragon Duke. We came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to find a suitable third spirit ring for our granddaughter. Looking at the children around you, they don't seem old enough to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring. Even though the Cockscomb Serpent's spirit ring is relatively mild, it's not something they can absorb, is it?"

A flash of caution crossed Zhao Wuji's eyes. If Snake Granny was here, the Dragon Duke must be nearby.

"May I ask for the Spirit Saint's name?"

"Zhao Wuji."

"So it is the famous Immovable Bright King. I have long admired you. Look, this is a spirit beast; why not yield it to us? My husband and I will owe you a favor," Chao Tianxiang threatened subtly.

"Senior, the spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are ownerless, and we were the ones who took this one down. Furthermore, my students also need this spirit ring," Zhao Wuji refused to budge.

"Bright King, you joke. Looking at how young your students are, I fear they cannot absorb this thousand-year spirit ring," Chao Tianxiang clearly didn't believe him.

"Kids, show your spirit rings," Zhao Wuji said calmly.

The spirit rings of Tang San and the others were released in an instant. Of course, Jiang Siming had been watching the show the whole time and had no intention of releasing his spirit rings. He stood to the side, quietly smoking a cigarette, playing the part of a quiet, handsome man. If they had seen his two purple and one black rings, they would have been stunned. However, his actions caught the attention of Meng Yiran. After all, his 50% charm wasn't just for show.

Chao Tianxiang was shocked, unable to recover for a moment after seeing these young students.

"Senior, do my students meet your standards?" Zhao Wuji felt a sense of secret satisfaction; this was quite the flex.

"Yiran, let's go." Chao Tianxiang didn't look back and left with her granddaughter. After all, her husband wasn't here, and if Zhao Wuji really attacked her, he might hurt her granddaughter.

As Meng Yiran left, she didn't forget to wink at Jiang Siming. Jiang Siming raised an eyebrow at her in response. Suddenly, a cold chill came from behind him. Jiang Siming turned his head and gave Zhu Zhuqing an awkward smile.

"Little Ao, absorb it quickly! Lest there be complications," Zhao Wuji said, his eyelids drooping slightly, clearly worried that Chao Tianxiang might bring the Dragon Duke back to cause trouble.

While Little Ao was absorbing the spirit ring, Jiang Siming was thinking about the check-in.

Erming would soon come to take Xiao Wu away. Should he follow them? Jiang Siming didn't know if Daming and Erming would take him to the Lake of Life because of his connection to Xiao Wu, nor did he know the exact relationship between Daming, Erming, and Di Tian. It was hard to make a decision.

Chapter 23: Erming Attacks, Jiang Siming's Decision

Half an hour later, Oscar successfully absorbed the Cockscomb Serpent's spirit ring.

"Little Ao, how is it? What effect does your third spirit skill have?" Dai Mubai asked.

"Hehe, Boss Dai. My third spirit skill's ability is flight, lasting for one minute," Oscar stood up, hands on his hips, looking proud.

"What? The time is so short? Little Ao, are you not capable enough?" Ma Hongjun said, winking at Oscar.

"You fat pig, what did you say? Don't eat my sausages ever again!" Oscar exploded in anger and shouted loudly.

"Alright, stop messing around. Little Ao, your third spirit skill's ability shouldn't just be that, right?" Tang San asked. If Oscar's third spirit skill only provided flight for one minute, it would be quite useless.

"Hehe, Little San understands me best. Little San, if you want to eat my sausages in the future, you can anytime," Oscar said as if he had found a soulmate.

Tang San's mouth twitched. Why did that sound so strange?

"One minute is indeed a bit short, but what if it's the speed of the Cockscomb Serpent?" Oscar said proudly.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. They had seen the speed of the Cockscomb Serpent. Although flight spirit skills were rare, the duration was too short. If he could achieve the speed of the Cockscomb Serpent, it would be completely different. Whether for attacking or escaping, it was a powerful support ability.

"How about that? Fatty, do you know how impressive I am now? You better watch yourself in the future!" Oscar said to Ma Hongjun with a smug look.

"Alright, alright! You still have three people who need to obtain spirit rings, don't waste time." Seeing Zhao Wuji speak, everyone stopped fooling around and prepared to set off again.

Several dozen minutes later, a powerful and majestic roar suddenly came from afar.

"Is it here?" Jiang Siming was still hesitating. If he really went, he might end up in trouble. Jiang Siming turned to look at Xiao Wu, who had a troubled expression; he knew Erming had come to pick her up.
