Scatter, Ryūō!

Chapter 47: Scatter, Ryūō!

At this moment, Chen Feng and his companions saw the Shrek Seven Devils resting up ahead.

"Everyone, halt," Zhao Wuji commanded.

Zhao Wuji had recovered reasonably well; although he was now missing an arm, his life had been spared.

After such a long time, given a soul master's recovery rate, Zhao Wuji's wounds had completely scabbed over and healed.

However, he would only be able to use one hand from now on.

The group stopped in their tracks. The hundred-mile trek had warmed their bodies up, especially for Oscar and Ning Rongrong. As support-type soul masters, while their physical fitness was decent, they ultimately could not compare to Tang San and the others.

Oscar whispered his lewd incantations, handing a sausage to each person. After these few days of getting used to it, everyone was no longer repulsed by his sausages; at most, they would pretend not to hear him when he chanted his spells.

As the sausages entered their stomachs, they transformed into rolling heat, restoring everyone's stamina, and the group's spirits lifted.

Zhao Wuji looked at the seven students before him with a stern expression. "Listen to me clearly: the Star Dou Forest is not like the places where the state keeps magical beasts. The beasts inside here are extremely dangerous, and you may face attacks from thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year level beasts at any moment.

Therefore, after entering the forest, no one is to leave my side by more than twenty meters. Ning Rongrong, Oscar, you two must stay even closer to me.

Without my order, no one is allowed to attack a soul beast lightly. Do you understand?"

At this moment, Chen Feng and his group were watching the Shrek Seven Devils from afar.

Yae Miko looked at Chen Feng and asked, "Chen Feng, isn't that your little ex-girlfriend?"

The person Yae Miko was pointing at was none other than Ning Rongrong in the group.

Chen Feng nodded slightly and said, "They must be here to hunt for a soul ring as well."

Upon hearing this, Yae Miko looked thoughtful and said, "I see. In that case, are we still going to retrieve that treasure chest?"

Chen Feng smiled. "Of course. This Star Dou Forest isn't their territory!"

With that, Chen Feng and his companions prepared to move forward.

Just then, Zhao Wuji suddenly shouted, "Everyone up! Something is approaching at high speed."

Tang San and Dai Mubai moved with great tacit understanding, taking the lead to block in front of Oscar and Ning Rongrong, while Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and the fatty guarded the sides. In an instant, everyone released their martial souls, including Zhao Wuji.

The rustling sound grew from faint to loud. Even Oscar and Ning Rongrong, as support soul masters, could clearly feel how rapidly the unknown creature was approaching.

"Zhu Zhuqing, see what it is," Zhao Wuji ordered in a deep voice.

Zhu Zhuqing did not utter a word. She quietly leaped up, her sharp claws extending, and climbed a nearby large tree as if walking on flat ground, looking toward the direction of the sound.

A cat's vision is excellent, even at night, let alone at high noon.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came from the tree, "It seems to be a flying snake, but it cannot fly high; it can only fly forward about three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crest on its head that looks larger than its head, bright red like blood. Its tail is quite unique, shaped like a fan."

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up. "It's a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. This type of soul beast is quite rare. The fleshy crest on its head has many miraculous uses. Oscar, you are in luck. It's a pity we don't know how many years this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent has lived. Zhu Zhuqing, keep an eye on the direction it's heading and report to me immediately if there are any changes."

"Understood. It is heading in our direction, and its speed is very fast, though its body seems to be struggling with its balance."

Tang San suddenly asked, "How long is this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, and what color are its wings?"

Zhu Zhuqing replied, "The wings are pale red, and the length is between six and eight meters."

Tang San calculated briefly in his heart and said with certainty, "This is a thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent. The pale red wings are the mark of its thousand-year evolution. Based on its length of six to eight meters, it should have a cultivation between 1,300 and 1,800 years. Oscar, it is perfect for you."

"The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent itself is non-venomous and is a rare, powerful non-venomous snake. It attacks by coiling around its prey to suffocate them. Its attack method is very singular, but its speed is incredibly fast. Furthermore, its crest stores various nutrients, which can grant it a temporary increase in toxicity during a crisis.

If you obtain this soul ring, your next soul skill should be related to speed. Whether it is to boost speed for support or to add speed to yourself, both are excellent choices.

Because the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's own attack power is not very strong and is quite singular, those over a thousand years old are very rare. You are quite lucky this time."

Seeing the snake, Chen Feng smiled and said, "By the way, have you ever eaten snake meat?"

At this, Yae Miko smiled slightly. "This Shrine Maiden is a fox spirit; having existed for so many years, what meat haven't I eaten? Snake meat, rabbit meat—I've eaten the meat of almost all those small animals."

Kamisato Ayaka, however, shook her head. "The rules of the Kamisato Clan do not allow me to eat such things!"

Chen Feng smiled faintly. "This Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent is a top-tier ingredient and is delicious. Why don't I hunt it, and we can have snake meat hotpot tonight!"

At this time, the people from Shrek Academy were surrounding and intercepting the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

However, the direction the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was flying was exactly where Chen Feng and his group were located.

"Want to run? Is it that easy?" Zhao Wuji's deep voice rang out. Accompanied by his third soul ring flashing, the body of the thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent suddenly stiffened, and its speed dropped significantly. This was Zhao Wuji's third soul skill: Gravity Enhancement.

Immediately after, Zhao Wuji's fourth and fifth soul rings lit up simultaneously. His body suddenly leaped into the air, and when he landed again, he appeared right in front of the thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent under the effect of his fourth soul skill, Targeting Lock, while simultaneously activating Gravity Squeeze.

No matter how slippery the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was, it had no room to maneuver in the face of Zhao Wuji's overwhelming soul power.

At that very moment, Chen Feng looked at the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, then reached out his hand and said softly, "Scatter, Ryūō!"

Crack.

The next moment, countless cherry blossom petals began to appear in the sky.

The Shrek Seven Devils were astonished, each of them staring at the beautiful cherry blossoms in utter shock.

Zhu Zhuqing asked in surprise, "How can there be so many cherry blossoms here?"

"Indeed, it's so beautiful!" Ning Rongrong replied with an expression of pure enjoyment.

At this, Tang San immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

Just as Tang San finished speaking, those cherry blossom petals instantly transformed into blades and descended upon the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent.

Swoosh—

Blood splattered everywhere, and the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent collapsed onto the ground.
