Dugu Bo looked at Ouyang Zi with doting eyes, then raised his head to look at the sky and said to Ouyang Zi:
"It's still early, and there's still some time before this Ultimate Challenge. Zi, come with me into the deep mountains. Your teacher will guide you in your poison techniques."
"Really? That's great!"
Ouyang Zi had delicate features, but her eyes showed determination. She stood beside Dugu Bo, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation for the unknown.
Dugu Bo, his green hair gently swaying in the breeze, his face stern, and his eyes revealing a deep light.
He looked at Ouyang Zi and slowly said:
"Zi, today, your teacher will teach you how to use poison techniques. There are many soul beasts in these deep mountains, making it an excellent place for you to train."
Ouyang Zi nodded slightly, her expression solemn, and said:
"Master, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."
Dugu Bo nodded slightly in satisfaction, and led Ouyang Zi deeper into the mountains.
Along the way, Dugu Bo explained the characteristics and uses of various poisonous plants to Ouyang Zi. Ouyang Zi listened attentively, occasionally asking questions, and Dugu Bo patiently answered them one by one.
After all, normally, no one would teach her about these poisonous materials.
Everyone would avoid these poisonous plants and trees when they saw them.
Even because she liked to study poisonous things, everyone treated her like a monster. No one wanted to play with her, let alone study these poisonous things with her.
Just as they were moving forward.
Suddenly.
A low roar came from a distance, the sound was very small but it was creepy.
Dugu Bo's eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice:
"Be careful, it seems that a soul beast is approaching."
Ouyang Zi suddenly became nervous, tightly gripping the short sword in her hand, and vigilantly looked around.
In the bushes not far away, a huge soul beast slowly walked out.
This soul beast resembled a mountain goat, but its body was covered with black scales. These scales seemed impenetrable, and its eyes flashed with fierce light.
Dugu Bo recognized it at a glance as a thousand-year soul beast, a Sang Lei, also called a Sang Lei Goat.
The corners of Dugu Bo's mouth rose slightly, and he said:
"Zi, this Sang Lei Goat can be your trial opponent. Try to find its weakness."
Ouyang Zi's eyes were dazed at this moment, at a loss.
After all.
She had never seen such a behemoth since she was a child!
And this was still a thousand-year soul beast!
Its level was much higher than hers!
Not to mention anything else, a casual slap could send her away.
Dugu Bo seemed to see Ouyang Zi's worries, and he comforted her:
"Don't worry, face it boldly, your teacher is by your side, nothing will happen."
Receiving Dugu Bo's comfort, Ouyang Zi calmed her mind and carefully observed the Sang Lei Goat.
She found that the Sang Lei Goat's eyes and nose were not covered by scales, perhaps that was its weakness.
Zi whispered to Dugu Bo:
"This soul beast's eyes and nose have no scales, can we attack those places?"
Dugu Bo nodded when he heard Ouyang Zi's idea:
"That's right, the Black Scaled Lion's weakness is in the eyes and nose."
"However, it is extremely fast and has a strong attack power. You have to find a way to get close to it without being discovered before you can use your poison techniques."
Ouyang Zi thought for a moment, and seeing the eye-catching and fragrant flowers under the tree beside her, she said:
"Master, I can use some of its favorite fragrant flowers and plants to attract its attention, and then take the opportunity to approach it."
Dugu Bo smiled slightly and said:
"Okay, but you have to be careful not to be hit by its attack."
Ouyang Zi took out some petals with a special scent from the cloth bag around her waist and threw them at the Sang Lei Goat.
The Sang Lei Goat smelled the fragrance of the petals and was immediately attracted.
Ouyang Zi took the opportunity to go around to the side of the Sang Lei Goat, preparing to find an opportunity to attack it.
In just a moment.
The Sang Lei Goat's sensitive hearing discovered Ouyang Zi's actions, roared angrily, and pounced on Ouyang Zi.
Ouyang Zi quickly dodged to the side, swung the short sword in her hand, and stabbed towards the Sang Lei Goat's leg.
However, the black scales on the Sang Lei Goat's legs completely blocked her short sword attack, and there was no trace of being attacked at all.
The Sang Lei Goat's reaction was also extremely fast, and it turned around and slapped Ouyang Zi with a claw.
Ouyang Zi hurriedly used her short sword to block, but she couldn't withstand the Sang Lei Goat's power at all. The short sword was knocked away in an instant.
Zi's heart tightened, and she was directly knocked back dozens of meters by the Sang Lei Goat's power, and quickly found cover to hide.
The Sang Lei Goat chased after her, pouncing on Ouyang Zi again.
Ouyang Zi couldn't dodge in time, and the Sang Lei Goat's sharp claws scratched her arm, tearing her light purple sleeves.
Revealing her fair arm, two blood-red scratches were particularly conspicuous on her white arm.
Dugu Bo watched nervously from the side, clenching his fists.
His body directly emitted some soul power, ready to go.
However, he still didn't help. He knew that he must let Zi face the enemy alone in order to truly learn combat experience in actual combat.
Ouyang Zi endured the pain in her arm, took out some poison from the cloth bag, and sprinkled it on the Sang Lei Goat.
The Sang Lei Goat was hit by Zi's poison and roared angrily. The black scales on its body also stood up, as if preparing to attack Ouyang Zi with blades.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo quickly shouted: "Zi, the Sang Lei Goat's scales can withstand most attacks, your poison has little effect on it. You have to find a way to attack its weaknesses to defeat it."
Ouyang Zi looked at the Sang Lei Goat, thinking about countermeasures in her heart.
Suddenly. She remembered that she had unintentionally created a poison technique that could put soul beasts into an anesthetized state.
However, at that time, she only experimented on the low-level soul beasts around the castle.
Now.
Ouyang Zi had no other choice, she decided to try this poison technique.
She took out some special poisonous herbs from the cloth bag, crushed them, and finally squeezed out some juice.
Then, she smeared these poisonous herb juices on the short sword.
Then, she rushed towards the Sang Lei Goat again.
When the Sang Lei Goat saw Ouyang Zi rushing over, it roared loudly, kicked its legs back, and pounced on Ouyang Zi.
Ouyang Zi's body dodged to the side, and the Sang Lei Goat's sharp claws missed Zi's body. As a member of the Speed Clan, she also possessed extremely fast speed.
Subsequently.
Ouyang Zi waved the short sword in her hand and stabbed towards the Sang Lei Goat's eyes.
The Sang Lei Goat quickly closed its eyes and slapped Ouyang Zi with its claws.
Ouyang Zi took the opportunity to smear the poisonous herb juice on the short sword on the Sang Lei Goat's claws.
The poisonous herb juice soaked the entire left claw of the Sang Lei Goat.
Before long, it began to take effect, and the Sang Lei Goat's claws gradually became numb.
