Chapter 147: The 60,000-Year Medusa and Soul Saint Dugu Bo
[Changing their original route made the three of them even more cautious as they continued forward.]
[However, before long, their path forward was obstructed.]
["This..."]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at the vast clouds of green gas before him. Even without testing it, he knew that this gas was definitely poisonous.]
[Such a massive cloud of toxic gas blocked their path, and from the looks of it, there was no way to go around it.]
[In other words, if they didn't go through here, they would have to turn back and fight that 70,000-year Crimson Flame Tiger.]
["How about we just find a place to rest for a day? That Crimson Flame Tiger can't possibly stay there forever, can it?"]
[Yu Xiaogang suggested as he looked at the poisonous mist before them.]
[He hadn't expected the journey here to be so smooth, only for accidents to happen frequently on the way back.]
["That's all we can do."]
[Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]
[So, the three of them prepared to head back the way they came, find a spot to set up camp, and rest for the night.]
[Unfortunately, accidents always happen so suddenly.]
[Hiss!]
[From within the poisonous mist, a green figure quickly darted out, hissing at Yu Yuanzhen and the other two.]
["Hmm?"]
[Hearing the hiss, Yu Yuanzhen instinctively shielded Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong behind him, then looked solemnly at the Soul Beast hissing at them.]
[A jade-green body paired with a pair of cold, glinting snake eyes; its forked tongue flickered incessantly, as if it would launch an attack at any moment.]
["Is this... a Medusa?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen was somewhat uncertain. What exactly was going on today?]
[Since arriving at the Sunset Forest, he had noticed that their luck had been consistently abnormal.]
[It was ridiculously good.]
[First, his son obtained the Soul Ring of a Radiant Elemental Dragon, along with a perfectly compatible Soul Bone.]
[Then they went deep into the Sunset Forest to hunt for treasures and obtained over a hundred Soul Bones.]
[On their way back, they encountered a 70,000-year Blazing Tiger and were forced to change routes, only to be blocked by a patch of poisonous mist.]
[He had thought their luck for this trip had run out, but now, a Medusa had appeared before him.]
[The Medusa was the top-tier existence among snake-type Soul Beasts.]
[If Soul Masters with snake Martial Souls were to rank the Soul Rings they desired, the rings produced by a Medusa would undoubtedly be in the top three.]
["Father, this Medusa is around 60,000 years old."]
["If I remember correctly, Soul Saint Dugu of the Dugu Family in Heaven Dou City could break through to Soul Douluo at any time within the next two years."]
["He won't be able to refuse this Soul Ring."]
[Upon seeing this 60,000-year-old Medusa, the first person Yu Xiaogang thought of was that Soul Saint named Dugu Bo.]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Blue Lightning City was not far from Heaven Dou City, so their Sect maintained good relations with various Soul Master families in Heaven Dou City.]
[The Dugu Family was one of them.]
[Although the Dugu Family was not very populous, their ancestral Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul was a fairly good poison-attribute snake Martial Soul.]
[And Dugu Bo, the current head of the Dugu Family, was just one step away from reaching the level of a Soul Douluo.]
[One could say that the Dugu Family was a target with great potential to be brought into their fold.]
[As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also needed to cultivate subordinate forces.]
[For instance, the Clear Sky Sect had four subordinate forces known as the Four Single-Attribute Sects.]
[The Ye Family, where Ye Hengchuan belonged, was a direct subordinate force recruited by Yu Yuanzhen for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Now that Dugu Bo was on the verge of becoming a Soul Douluo, many forces on the Douluo Continent were trying to find out his preferences, preparing for an opportunity to recruit him.]
[However, what kind of favor could be more profound than finding a top-tier Soul Ring for someone and then helping them obtain it?]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's reminder, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up.]
[Why didn't I think of that?]
["You brat, your mind really works fast."]
["Knowing about this Medusa, Dugu Bo won't be able to refuse us."]
["This way, taking the Dugu Family under our wing will be a natural progression."]
[At the thought of being able to recruit another Soul Douluo for the Family, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but rub his hands together.]
[Bibi Dong, listening to the conversation between the father and son, didn't have any thoughts about eavesdropping.]
[Large forces recruiting smaller ones was a common occurrence on the Douluo Continent.]
[Their Spirit Hall had recruited some of the Lower Four Sects, as well as many secondary forces.]
[That being said, Bibi Dong's gaze toward Yu Xiaogang and his father was still a bit strange.]
[It's one thing for me not to feel awkward, but you two didn't even try to hide these discussions from me. You really don't treat me like an outsider, do you?]
[Black World, Sunset Forest.]
["Oh ho, so the me in the parallel world actually ended up hanging out with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"]
[Having just entered the cave and obtained the storage soul tool containing the Soul Bones, Dugu Bo said with some surprise as he looked at the heavenly curtain.]
[Previously, when Yu Xiaogang's group changed course because of the Crimson Flame Tiger, Dugu Bo, who was becoming more familiar with their path, thought that the parallel world version of himself would have nothing to do with his treasure land.]
[However, things took an unexpected turn. Because of that Medusa, Yu Xiaogang suggested recruiting him, and Yu Yuanzhen didn't oppose the suggestion.]
[Doesn't this mean that the parallel world version of himself could board the great ship that is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and soar all the way?]
[Watching the heavenly curtain until now, even a fool could understand that the parallel world's Yu Xiaogang had a limitless future.]
[Because of Yu Xiaogang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would also rise powerfully.]
[And given the character Yu Xiaogang displayed through the heavenly curtain, having the chance to follow him would definitely not be a loss.]
[Not everyone who obtained a ten thousand year spirit bone they didn't want to absorb would choose to give it to a Sect member who didn't share their surname.]
[With Lin Lang's example, there would be no shortage of people wanting to follow Yu Xiaogang.]
[At the thought of the parallel world version of himself being able to board Yu Xiaogang's great ship, Dugu Bo was no longer in the mood to pity his parallel self for losing that treasure land.]
["Hmm... whatever, you win some, you lose some."]
["The parallel world me won't have the chance to get this 80,000-year torso bone."]
[Saying this, Dugu Bo took out the 80,000-year torso bone from the storage soul tool. After eyeing the Soul Bone with burning intensity, he sat down cross-legged and began to refine it.]
[An 80,000-year torso bone; after absorbing this, his strength would experience a sudden surge.]
[Who would have thought that since the heavenly curtain started broadcasting, the person who benefited the most would be him, someone who hadn't even appeared in the heavenly curtain yet?]}
