Chapter 30 Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent
Although they couldn't take action now, Zhao Wuji was there, and Ye Liuyun was quite strong.
But Tang San believed that given the opportunity, killing a Soul Elder with his Hundred Hidden Weapons Techniques would not be difficult.
"In that case..."
Tang San stepped aside to make way, a stiff smile returning to his face, as if the chilling aura from before had never existed.
"Then you should get some rest."
"We're going to the Star Dou Great Forest tomorrow, don't be late."
Ye Liuyun gave Tang San a deep look.
With his adult experience, how could he not see the strangeness of Tang San's change in attitude?
Ye Liuyun didn't say anything, but pulled Xiao Wu away and left.
...
This night is destined to be sleepless.
The Shrek team split into two factions.
Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai got together and started ranting about Ye Liuyun's "pretentiousness" and "arrogance."
Ning Rongrong wiped away her tears, vowing to make her family teach Ye Liuyun a lesson.
Tang San sat alone by the window, wiping the silent dart in his hand again and again by the moonlight.
The cold metallic luster reflected the chill in his eyes.
The Star Dou Great Forest is fraught with danger.
If you encounter a powerful spirit beast, it's quite normal for an "accident" to happen.
...
The next morning.
As dawn broke, everyone gathered at the entrance of the town.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward.
There was no small talk, no exchange of words.
Ye Liuyun and Xiao Wu stood to one side, eating breakfast.
The other six Shrek members stood on the other side, exchanging glances.
Zhao Wuji walked out yawning. He frowned when he saw the two groups of people who were clearly separated, but he didn't say anything.
"Is everyone here? Let's go."
"Target: Star Dou Great Forest."
The group set off again.
A heavy silence filled the air.
Tang San walked in the middle of the group, his gaze occasionally sweeping over Ye Liuyun's back as he walked at the front, his fingers gently stroking the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges.
Ye Liuyun, with his hands in his pockets, moved with a light step.
Star Dou Great Forest.
Ancient trees reach for the sky, blocking out the sun.
This is a paradise for spirit beasts, but also a forbidden zone for humans.
Every inch of air is filled with a primitive and savage atmosphere.
"Stop."
Zhao Wuji raised his hand, and the group stopped in a slightly open clearing in the woods.
"Everyone, get back into a good mindset and stay alert."
Oscar immediately chanted a spell, creating sausages one by one.
"I have a big sausage!"
He eagerly handed sausages to Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others, his face beaming with smiles.
"Come on, come on, to help you regain your strength. It's fresh out of the oven and still warm."
However, when he walked up to Ye Liuyun, he paused, his smile vanished instantly, and his expression turned into a businesslike one, even tinged with sarcasm.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry."
Oscar shrugged and spread his hands.
"My soul power is just used up. Master Ye is so powerful, he probably doesn't need this kind of low-level replenishment, right? Anyway, you wouldn't even look at it."
After saying that, he turned and left, and even winked at Ning Rongrong as if to ask for credit.
See, I helped you get revenge.
Ning Rongrong proudly raised her chin and gave Oscar an approving look.
Xiao Wu was so angry she wanted to speak, but Ye Liuyun stopped her.
Ye Liuyun leaned against the tree, looking at Oscar's smug face, feeling nothing, and even a little amused.
In this primeval forest where death could strike at any moment, why are you still engaging in such childish isolationist tricks?
Ye Liuyun lightly touched the ancient tree behind him with his fingers, and several Blue Silver Grasses sprouted, slowly absorbing life force.
A cool and abundant essence of herbs flowed into his body through his fingertips, instantly sweeping away his fatigue.
...
Just then.
Hiss—
A faint but rapid whooshing sound came through the air.
Zhao Wuji reminded him.
"There's something there!"
Zhu Zhuqing quickly jumped to a high place, landed on the tree trunk, and her clear, cold voice rang out.
"It appears to be a flying snake. However, it can't fly very high. It can only fly forward at a height of about three meters above the ground. It has a fleshy crest on its head, which looks larger than its head and is bright red like blood. Its tail is quite special, fan-shaped, and its length is probably between six and eight meters."
Zhao Wuji's eyes narrowed.
"It's a Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent! Judging by its size and crest color, it must have cultivated for over a thousand years. Oscar, your luck has arrived!"
"Quick! Stop it!"
Tang San immediately took over command.
"Mu Bai, intercept them head-on! Fatty, suppress them from the air! Zhu Qing, disrupt them from the flanks! I'll take control!"
The six Shrek members acted swiftly and coordinated perfectly.
Blue silver grass weaves a net, white tiger's fierce light waves block movement, and phoenix fire lines force the route.
Ye Liuyun did not move.
Since he was being ostracized, he couldn't be bothered to put up with it.
He just watched quietly, like a spectator.
It must be said that Tang San's command skills are indeed quite impressive.
Before long, the slippery Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was tightly bound by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, and Dai Mubai slapped it unconscious to the ground.
"It's done!"
Oscar excitedly pulled out his dagger, ready to stab the snake's head and absorb the spirit ring.
"Stop!!"
A sharp shout accompanied by the sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
Two figures, one old and one young, darted out of the forest and blocked Oscar's path.
The old man held a snake staff, had a full head of silver hair, and a sinister look in his eyes.
The girl was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, holding a short staff, with a beautiful face but also a sharp edge.
Snake Granny, Chaotianxiang, from the Dragon and Snake pair.
And her granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
"We were the first to find and hunt this snake! The wound on its abdomen is proof of that!"
"Snake Granny," Chaotianxiang said calmly, pointing to the snake's body.
There are established rules in the Soul Master world: whoever discovers it first owns it, and no one else can interfere during the hunt.
Otherwise, in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, where dangers abound.
Who knows if the other side is after the soul beasts or coming to kill and rob?
A moment's carelessness could lead to a major battle.
Therefore, when one side is hunting a soul beast, others cannot interfere.
Zhao Wuji looked down at the belly of the crested serpent in his hand.
Just as the old woman had said, there were indeed such scars.
But so what? What Shrek Academy has its eye on is Shrek Academy's property.
Zhao Wuji smiled coldly, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
"Senior, may I ask your esteemed name?"
The snake woman introduced herself.
"I dare not. I am called the Snake Woman by my friends in the Soul Master world. My husband is called Meng Shu, and he is known as the Dragon Lord."
"The reason we came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time is to find a suitable third spirit ring for our granddaughter."
"How shall I address you?"
Zhao Wuji's expression was grim; he was no newcomer to the world of Soul Masters.
Of course, I've heard of the famous Dragon and Snake couple.
It is said that the fusion skill of the two martial souls can even go toe-to-toe with a titled Douluo.
They are not people he can afford to offend.
"My name is Zhao Wuji."
Chaotianxiang didn't want any conflict, so she gave him face.
"So it was the Immovable King, famous throughout the Soul Master world."
"Since neither of us are newcomers to the Soul Master world, then according to the established rules, the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent should be given to me."
