Exploring the Liangyi Alone: Part Two

It could be said that in this Sunset Forest, which lacks any Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, these two soul beasts represented the absolute peak level of the forest's fauna.

Joy immediately appeared in the eyes of Wang Chuan, who secretly thought that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was highly likely to be nearby.

This was because only soul beasts of this caliber were qualified to occupy such a treasure trove as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, Wang Chuan did not rush to act.

Instead, he used Life Return to synchronize his body temperature with the surrounding environment, ensuring he would not be detected by the heat-sensing ability of the Evil Poison Cobra King.

As for why Wang Chuan was being so cautious instead of taking advantage of the two beasts fighting to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and seize the immortal herbs, it was naturally because he could not find it for the time being.

At this moment, the two giant beasts before him were constantly attacking one another, each strike filled with wild, unbridled ferocity.

The result was that the area for several kilometers around was left in ruins, with the energy in the air in complete chaos, which both interfered with Wang Chuan's Observation Haki and left the scene in a total mess.

Therefore, Wang Chuan was completely unable to determine which mountain peak housed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, Wang Chuan was not in the least bit anxious; now that the enemy was in the open and he was in the shadows, he had plenty of time to search slowly.

Soon, the battle between the two giant beasts reached a fever pitch.

Suddenly, the Evil Poison Cobra King maneuvered its agile body, seizing the gap when the Golden-Eyed Toad King leaped to dodge, and bound it tightly in mid-air.

The two crashed to the ground together, causing the earth to tremble violently.

Facing the crushing constriction of the Evil Poison Cobra King, the Golden-Eyed Toad King let out a pained croak.

At the same time, a pungent stench began to spread in all directions, and Wang Chuan quickly held his breath and focused his mind.

He saw the Evil Poison Cobra King also let out a pained hiss.

Because the Golden-Eyed Toad King, which it had bound, was currently secreting a large amount of corrosive black venom from its skin, which began to melt the cobra's tough scales and reach the flesh beneath.

This completely ignited the ferocity of the Evil Poison Cobra King.

Accompanied by a hiss, the Evil Poison Cobra King bit down on the Golden-Eyed Toad King, injecting its own precious venom into the toad's body.

In an instant, the already bulging eyes of the Golden-Eyed Toad King became bloodshot, and its body, which had been struggling violently, gradually went limp until it finally fell into a deathly silence.

But the Evil Poison Cobra King did not immediately release its opponent, not daring to be careless even while being corroded by the potent poison.

Because there would be no Spirit Ring appearing as a death marker during a fight between soul beasts, it had to thoroughly confirm the death of its opponent before letting go.

After a moment, the Evil Poison Cobra King finally released the Golden-Eyed Toad King, though it did not leave immediately.

Wang Chuan watched this scene in surprise.

He wondered to himself if the Evil Poison Cobra King intended to eat this Toad King.

Even though a snake's mouth could open very wide, facing this mountain of flesh that was nearly twenty meters in every direction, it seemed impossible to swallow!

Then, before Wang Chuan's shocked eyes.

The Evil Poison Cobra King, through exquisite control of its spirit power, first stripped away the venom-secreting skin of the Golden-Eyed Toad King, then tore the toad into pieces, and finally swallowed it bit by bit into its belly.

Wang Chuan watched from start to finish with a grave expression, hiding himself even deeper.

Because this action by the Evil Poison Cobra King fully demonstrated that its intelligence was not inferior to that of an ordinary human; if he were discovered and forced to confront it, it would be a very troublesome matter.

Having eaten its fill, the Evil Poison Cobra King first hissed in satisfaction, then, seemingly because it had aggravated its injuries, the sound became a bit pained.

But even so, the Evil Poison Cobra King did not immediately find a place to heal; instead, it looked around for a while, then slowly opened its blood-red maw.

In an instant, a thick green poisonous mist slowly spewed from its mouth, forming a barrier that completely shrouded the vicinity.

Wang Chuan noticed with a sharp eye that the poisonous mist spewed by the Evil Poison Cobra King connected with a patch of green in the distance.

This meant that this place was likely the original territory of the Evil Poison Cobra King, and the arrival of the Golden-Eyed Toad King had just disrupted its layout.

Such a setup was very similar to how tigers or bears marked their territory, but it was far more lethal; ordinary soul beasts simply could not, and would not dare to, approach this area.

However, Wang Chuan was not among them.

Because Wang Chuan could completely wrap his body in Haki to block the poisonous gas, and then use Life Return to achieve long-term internal respiration; this kind of large-scale poisonous miasma without intense corrosiveness could not do anything to Wang Chuan.

Only then did the Evil Poison Cobra King begin its return journey.

Wang Chuan still did not rush to follow, because currently, only one snake was moving, and its trajectory was easy to track.

On the contrary, if he got too close, the creature might notice him.

Finally, from a great distance away, Wang Chuan saw the Evil Poison Cobra King slither into a massive mountain.

Wang Chuan tried to get closer, bringing it into the range of his Observation Haki.

And the moment he sensed the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Wang Chuan's expression changed drastically, and he retreated rapidly as if he had suddenly touched a boiling kettle.

Closing his Observation Haki, Wang Chuan looked at the mountain pass with a mix of suspicion and fear.

"What terrifying auras!

Even though the opponent should already be dead, and I didn't make any aggressive moves."

Just feeling those two auras was enough to trigger a fear etched deep into the bones.

Is this the might of a God King-level True Dragon? It really is terrifying.

Wang Chuan muttered to himself, not daring to activate his Observation Haki in this vicinity ever again.

Following that, Wang Chuan activated his Super Intelligence.

He pondered how he could lure this Evil Poison Cobra King out once more.

Otherwise, it would be truly difficult to take the immortal herbs right under its nose, and if the creature were to go berserk within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it would be a complete waste of heaven's treasures.

Soon, Wang Chuan chuckled, for wasn't the answer already right before his eyes?

Three days later, a scorpion with a pitted body and a hideous maw filled with fangs broke through the poison barrier set up by the Evil Poison Cobra King.

An eighty-thousand-year Spirit Beast, the Earth King.

Although the Earth King that appeared in the original work was beaten to a pulp by Liu Erlong as if it were some kind of small-fry Spirit Beast.

But how could a Spirit Beast that earned the title of "King" even at the thousand-year level be simple?

This was also a top-tier existence among Spirit Beasts, even if it was weaker than the Evil Poison Cobra King.

However, Wang Chuan did not care; as long as it could disturb the Evil Poison Cobra King and entangle it for a period of time, that would be enough.

#

But just as it broke through the poison barrier, the Earth King seemed to remember something and hurriedly halted its pursuit of Wang Chuan.

Seeing this, Wang Chuan frowned.

Damn it, is this guy's intelligence this high too? It actually managed to sense the abnormality of this place while in a state of enraged pursuit.

Just as Wang Chuan was thinking that his scheme might fail this time and he would have to attract another Spirit Beast over, the hissing of the Evil Poison Cobra King echoed from the distance.
