A Poison Fiend Wyvern Appeared Out of Nowhere

The Red Poison Earth Dragon twisted its body, its long legs like rods of steel.

They stabbed fiercely into the Rock Frog King's body, throwing off violent sparks as they collided with its hide.

The Rock Frog King swung its frog legs and slammed them onto the Red Poison Earth Dragon's head. This savage blow thoroughly enraged the Red Poison Earth Dragon.

The Red Poison Earth Dragon whipped its lower body around, launching frenzied attacks at the Rock Frogs continuously closing in below.

Its long legs were like spears falling from the heavens, piercing through the bodies of those century- and millennium-level Rock Frogs.

For a moment, Soul Rings littered the entire valley.

White, yellow, and purple Soul Rings began to rise one after another.

The several ten-thousand-year Rock Frog Kings began gathering strength. Their hind legs kicked fiercely against the ground, using their own bodies as weapons.

They crashed brutally into the Red Poison Earth Dragon, each impact carrying tens of tons of force.

They specifically targeted the Red Poison Earth Dragon's most vulnerable area—its abdomen.

Watching these enormous creatures battle, Dugu Feng began calculating how he could obtain that Lingzhi.

If he relied on A Thousand Li in a Flash and rushed over blindly,

he feared that before he could even get close, the two massive Soul Beasts would notice him. By then, they would likely kill him, a human, first.

As he pondered, dark-red poisonous flames suddenly spread throughout the valley.

Following the flames with his gaze, Dugu Feng saw that the Red Poison Earth Dragon had opened its gaping maw and was wildly spewing red poisonous fire.

The flames were not only incredibly fierce, but also possessed powerful corrosive properties.

One ten-thousand-year Rock Frog King was scorched by the flames. The rocky layer covering its body instantly began melting into scorching magma, burning the Rock Frog King.

The largest Rock Frog King once again used its body as a weapon and smashed directly onto the Red Poison Earth Dragon's back. This time, it tore open its back.

A crack split open, and countless streams of black liquid flowed from its back.

The liquid dripped onto the ground, instantly corroding it.

The battle between the two peak Soul Beasts had reached its most intense stage.

Meanwhile, the medicinal fragrance released by the Lingzhi grew stronger and stronger. Dugu Feng determined that it had reached maturity.

At that moment, an enormous black shadow in the sky blanketed the entire valley.

A terrifying aura spread through the valley. Dugu Feng looked up and saw a poison dragon covered from head to toe in dark-green scales.

It was already circling above the valley.

"Poison Fiend Wyvern!"

Dugu Feng recognized the dark-green poison dragon at a glance. It was the king among poison-type draconic beasts, the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

And it was a Poison Fiend Wyvern that had reached the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast level.

With its enormous body and spread wings, it was nearly thirty meters long.

Its greedy eyes stared fixedly at the Lingzhi.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern spread its wings, revealing sharp clawed feet, and lunged directly for the Lingzhi on the cliff wall.

The Red Poison Earth Dragon and the Rock Frog King, who had been fighting each other moments before,

immediately shifted their targets and attacked the Poison Fiend Wyvern.

The Red Poison Earth Dragon raised its body, opened its gaping maw, and sprayed dark-red poisonous fire once more, blasting the Poison Fiend Wyvern's body.

The Rock Frog King exerted force through all four limbs, launching its body like a cannonball.

It smashed directly into the Poison Fiend Wyvern's head.

At the attacks of the two Soul Beasts, fury flashed through the Poison Fiend Wyvern's sinister eyes.

Green dragon breath erupted from its mouth, directly overwhelming the Red Poison Earth Dragon's poisonous fire. The green dragon flames collided with the dark-red blaze.

After only a few seconds of stalemate, the green dragon breath began crushing the dark-red poisonous fire.

It blasted directly onto the Red Poison Earth Dragon's body. The Poison Fiend Wyvern's flames possessed intense corrosive properties; even one as strong as the Red Poison Earth Dragon, once struck by those highly toxic, corrosive flames,

could hardly withstand them. The Red Poison Earth Dragon let out a pained wail and rolled madly across the ground, repeatedly crashing into the valley walls.

Some unlucky Rock Frogs were crushed to death on the spot.

Seeing this, the largest Rock Frog King let out a mournful howl.

It was the king of its clan and possessed intelligence comparable to that of humans. It knew that if this battle continued,

whether they could obtain the Lingzhi was uncertain, but its clan would likely suffer devastating losses. Helplessly, it decided to lead its clan out of the struggle.

Just as the Poison Fiend Wyvern was preparing to finish off the Red Poison Earth Dragon and claim the Lingzhi,

a mass of black shadow suddenly leaped out from among the dead Rock Frogs.

The black shadow resembled a frog. Its long tongue stretched all the way to the cliff wall over a hundred meters away.

It wrapped around the Lingzhi, tore it down, and swallowed it whole.

Then, like Gui Mei, it burrowed straight into the ground and began fleeing.

This sudden turn of events instantly sent the Poison Fiend Wyvern into a towering rage. Its roaring dragon cry echoed through the entire valley.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern, which had been preparing to kill the Red Poison Earth Dragon, flicked its tail and sent it flying.

Spreading its dragon wings, it pursued the black shadow directly.

Along the way, it continuously unleashed dragon breath to attack.

Yet strangely, the black shadow seemed not to exist at all. No matter how the dragon breath bombarded it, it remained completely unharmed.

The Red Poison Earth Dragon had just experienced a fierce battle with the Rock Frog King and was now injured by the Poison Fiend Wyvern's dragon breath.

It had long since thought of retreating, so it simply took the opportunity to slip away. The vast valley was left with nothing but corpses strewn everywhere.

Dugu Feng quietly stepped out, looking at the bodies covering the ground and the Soul Rings rising into the air.

He sighed. He, too, had begun considering leaving. After all, the Poison Fiend Wyvern was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, comparable to a Titled Douluo.

And there was also that bizarre black shadow.

"No. If I leave like this, wouldn't I have come here for nothing? If I can consume that Lingzhi, my strength will definitely increase greatly."

With that thought, Dugu Feng immediately activated his movement technique, A Thousand Li in a Flash, and followed after them.

As long as he could seize the Lingzhi, he could at worst activate his Spirit Bone skill, A Leap of a Thousand Li. Even if it exhausted all his Soul Power, he could still leave the Star Dou Great Forest directly.

As long as he got out, found somewhere to consume the Lingzhi, everything would be accomplished.

He followed closely behind the Poison Fiend Wyvern. With the aura of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, every Soul Beast along the way kept far away.

The Poison Fiend Wyvern pursued the black shadow all the way to a swamp.

The black shadow hid within the swamp, while the Poison Fiend Wyvern circled overhead and used dragon breath to burn all the withered trees in the area to ashes.

Its enormous eyes stared fixedly at the swamp below.

It opened its gaping maw and began gathering dragon breath.

Dugu Feng, following from afar, silently watched the scene. He did not dare approach too closely, fearing that he would be caught in the aftermath.

Then, a fireball glowing with green light fell straight from the sky into the swamp.

The dragon breath, laden with corrosive poison gas, exploded instantly, burning every Soul Beast in the entire swamp to ashes.

The moment those Soul Beasts came into contact with the dragon breath, their bodies seemed to ignite as they were continuously corroded.

No matter how they struggled, they could not extinguish the green flames.

The Red Poison Earth Dragon had only barely extinguished the Poison Fiend Wyvern's flames earlier by using its own fire poison to fight poison with poison.

Naturally, the Soul Beasts hidden in the swamp did not possess the Red Poison Earth Dragon's strength.
