I Pick Up Fragments in Douluo Continent

"The baiting is done! Now we just wait for the fish to bite."

About fifteen minutes later, a rumbling sound came from the bottom of the lake.

"Splash!"

Water surged.

Lu Feng turned his head and saw an enormous snake head rise from the surface.

Dragon Transformation

"Th-This is a hundred-year spirit beast?!"

Looking at the monstrous creature before him, Lu Feng suddenly felt like Su Yuntao had stabbed him in the back.

The giant python was covered in dark green-black scales like armor, reflecting a crystalline gleam beneath the sun. Its thick body was wider than an adult man's waist, and the portion exposed above the water alone measured over three meters.

Its massive head looked like a huge lantern, with two distinct protrusions on top.

"Crunch!"

The Greenwood Python swallowed the small basin in one bite, as though it were eating a snack.

"Hiss!"

The Greenwood Python flicked its tongue, and its dark yellow eyes immediately lit up. It seemed very satisfied with the dessert.

"Hisss!"

Apparently still wanting more, the Greenwood Python slowly raised its head and hissed toward the large rock where Lu Feng stood.

Anyone would be a little grumpy after having their sleep disturbed.

"Could this giant snake be close to Dragon Transformation?!"

Lu Feng stared fixedly at the Greenwood Python before him, his legs trembling slightly.

"No, its body circumference is less than a meter, and its jawbones and teeth are only a little over ten centimeters. That means it isn't even a thousand-year spirit beast."

The books recorded that once a Greenwood Python advanced to a thousand years, its length and body circumference would double.

If it advanced into a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast and activated the wood-element bloodline within its body, not only would its size increase severalfold, but it would also gain an additional attribute.

There had once been a wood-attribute spirit master from Spirit Hall who hunted a Ten Thousand Year Greenwood Python, only to obtain a lightning-attribute spirit skill.

Later, after this spirit master advanced to Soul Fighting Douluo, he studied a large number of Ten Thousand Year Greenwood Pythons.

He discovered that nearly all Ten Thousand Year Greenwood Pythons evolved an additional attribute within their bodies.

Either wind or lightning.

Thus, he named the evolutionary process of this serpent spirit beast Dragon Transformation.

To make it easier for later generations to distinguish them, this spirit master gave Ten Thousand Year Greenwood Pythons another name: Sky Green Python.

And Lu Feng also knew that in the central region of the Star Dou Great Forest, there was a hundred-thousand-year Greenwood Python spirit beast—the Sky Azure Bull Python!

"Hisss!"

Flicking its tongue, the Greenwood Python slowly swam toward the large rock where Lu Feng stood.

"Its tongue is green with a hint of pink. It hasn't completely turned dark green-black yet. It really is in the process of Dragon Transformation."

A spirit beast under a thousand years.

Suspected of having evolved a second attribute.

Its attack, defense, and recovery abilities had conservatively doubled!

Lu Feng took a deep breath and tried to calm the emotions in his heart.

Could he win?

"Splash!"

The Greenwood Python coiled and sprang, its entire body launching from the water like a spring.

Lu Feng quickly rolled to the left and sprang to his feet as the python's massive body brushed past him.

"Boom!" The huge rock shattered directly beneath the Greenwood Python's impact.

Lu Feng was sent flying by the tremendous force.

"Teleportation!"

In midair, Lu Feng saw himself about to crash into a sharp rock and instantly activated his Teleportation skill.

At the same time, he drew the hunting bow from his back, and a faint purple glow covered his eyes.

He nocked an arrow and drew the bow.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot out toward the Greenwood Python's left eye.

From Lu Feng turning himself around to firing the arrow, the entire process took less than a second!

Lu Feng's Hunting skill had already reached yellow quality. He might not be able to hit a target through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away, but he could certainly hit ten shots out of ten. Combined with the Purple Demon Eye, no prey could escape his sight.

However, the Greenwood Python reacted faster than Lu Feng had expected.

It instantly closed its eye, and a thin white membrane blocked the arrowhead, protecting its fragile pupil.

"Clang!" A crisp sound rang out as a string of sparks flew from the Greenwood Python's tough eye membrane.

"Hisss!"

The green python hissed, seemingly either gloating or mocking Lu Feng.

Lu Feng's heart sank at the sight.

"This arrowhead was personally forged by Tang Hao, using top-quality refined iron. Not to mention the hunting bow—it was modified based on the structure of a compound bow from my previous life, and it can pierce steel plates."

"This giant python is less than ten meters long, and a third of its body is still green. It should be around five hundred years old."

"Five hundred years."

Lu Feng silently took a step back.

That age had already exceeded the theoretical limit of a first spirit ring.

Although Lu Feng had argued with Yu Xiaogang over the age limit of spirit rings, that did not mean he enjoyed challenging limits.

Besides, there was no spirit bone for him to absorb right now. Judging by how arrogant this Greenwood Python was, it probably had no intention of sacrificing itself either.

"Hisss!"

The Greenwood Python let out a strange cry and lunged at Lu Feng.

Python-type spirit beasts primarily attacked by coiling around their prey layer by layer, suffocating them to death or even crushing them into pieces.

Strength.

Speed.

Agility.

Every attribute stood at the pinnacle among spirit beasts of the same age. Although they lacked venom, their bodies were their strongest weapons.

Once ordinary spirit masters were caught in their coils, death was the only outcome.

"Teleportation!"

Lu Feng activated Teleportation once more, widening the distance between himself and the giant python.

At the same time, a black box appeared in Lu Feng's hand.

"Click, click, click." His right hand rapidly worked over the black box, producing a series of mechanism sounds.

Lu Feng calmly watched the Greenwood Python. His left hand quickly swept across his waist, and he threw out a cloth packet straight at the giant python's eyes.

The Greenwood Python shook its head and smashed the cloth packet apart in one strike.

"Puff!" A large amount of white powder burst out, coating the giant python's body.

"Hisss!"

The Greenwood Python let out a pained shriek, rubbing its massive head against the ground as it tried to shake off the powder.

Realgar Powder.

It had a powerful suppressive effect on snake venom, especially against low-year snake-type spirit beasts.

Although the powder could not cause much damage to the Greenwood Python, as a snake-type spirit beast, it instinctively feared the smell.

"Click, click, click!"

A string of explosive mechanism sounds came from the small box, and three pitch-black shadows shot out.

A Tang Sect hidden weapon—the Triple Bolt Crossbow.

What were the greatest characteristics of hidden weapons?

First, concealment. Second, poison.

Yet one kind of hidden weapon abandoned both of those traits. Relying only on its powerful destructive force, it overwhelmed all others.

Mechanism-type hidden weapons!

The Peacock Plume, Pear Blossom Rain Needles, Buddha Rage Tang Lotus.

Every one of them was enough to make enemies tremble in fear!

The Triple Bolt Crossbow ranked second from last among mechanism-type hidden weapons, only one place above the Silent Sleeve Arrow, yet it was the foundation of all mechanism-type hidden weapons.

Three consecutive shots.

Powerful destructive force.

Could be loaded in advance.

Required no internal force assistance.

The Triple Bolt Crossbow was the first hidden weapon Lu Feng forged after obtaining the Hundred Forms of Hidden Weapons.

Even with his yellow-quality Forging skill, it had taken him a full week.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The crossbow bolts struck the Greenwood Python's head, sending a string of sparks flying from its scales.

"Hiss—!" The intense pain made it cry out strangely.

The Greenwood Python was thoroughly enraged. It clearly had not expected this tiny human to inflict such severe damage on it.

The scales across its body lit up at once, a faint ghostly glow covering the dark green-black scales. Its speed abruptly increased as it charged straight at Lu Feng.

"Even the crossbow bolts can't break through its defense?"

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged.

If anyone familiar with him had been there, they would have immediately seen that he was getting serious.

Art Is Explosion

"Come out, Cannon Five!"

With a puff, a burst of Soul Power surged from Lu Feng's body, and a pale yellow creature appeared before him.

It looked somewhat like a dog, but its body resembled a pig more. Covered in pale yellow fur, with two drooping little ears and four short, thick legs, it bounced toward Lu Feng.

"Luo luo." Cannon Five kept rubbing its large head against Lu Feng's leg.

Cannon Five had been created after Lu Feng synthesized Luo Sanpao, then upgraded it using fragments.

He wanted to see whether he could directly synthesize the Golden Sacred Dragon.

However, reality was somewhat different from his hopes.

Although Cannon Five had advanced to yellow quality, it had only enhanced its basic attributes. It had not awakened a sacred or Light Attribute.

Still, it was far stronger than Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao.

So Lu Feng gave this martial soul a new name: Cannon Five!
