Chapter 25 Second Soul Skill: Jade Phosphor Red Poison. Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes
A longsword, over a meter long, appeared in his hand and was plunged directly into the eye of the mutated red-tailed triangular snake.
Soon, a deep purple Spirit ring condensed and took shape from the Snake King's body.
Dugu Bo exclaimed with delight, "Judging from the color of the Spirit ring, it should be over 8,500 years old, close to 9,000 years old!"
Dugu Lin laughed and said, "Hahaha~~ More than 8,500 years, just right for him! His previous physical condition was able to absorb Spirit rings of more than 3,000 years. Later, in the Ying Yang Ice And Fire Eyes, the Ice and Fire Chain Golden Body was enhanced by four to five thousand years. In addition, he refined a piece of 70,000-year Whale GLue, which added about 1,000 years. He can even absorb 9,000-year Spirit rings without any problem! Even absorbing 10,000-year Spirit rings is no problem."
Thump~
Dugu Bo flicked Dugu Lin on the forehead and scolded him, "Do not be too ambitious. The Spiritual impact of a ten-thousand-year Spirit ring should not be underestimated."
"Haha~ Do not worry, Grandpa, he knows. He was just saying that."
Dugu Lin smiled. The idea that absorbing a Spirit ring of a higher level would result in an external Spirit bone reward was just a thought; he would not impulsively try to absorb one.
One hour later.
The Spirit ring was absorbed, but Dugu Lin felt that he had not yet reached the limits of his body.
"Little Lin, right?"
"Hiss~"
The Jade Phosphor Serpent agreed. After absorbing its second Spirit ring, the Jade Phosphor Serpent grew from one meter in size to a giant snake over three meters long, its head reaching a height of one meter.
Upon receiving confirmation from the Jade Phosphor Serpent, Dugu Lin exclaimed joyfully, "Grandpa, it is true! His separated Spirit can help him share half of the soul power pressure! The age of the Spirit rings he can absorb should far exceed his own physical strength!"
"What?"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he asked in astonishment, "Is this what a separated Spirit is? It actually has such talent!"
"Hahaha~~" Dugu Lin was very excited. He did not realize the wonderful use of the separated Spirit in the first ring, but he realized it in the second ring. It was not too late at all.
"Lin'er, tell Grandpa quickly what level your soul power is."
"Let him see."
Dugu Lin closed his eyes and sensed it for a moment, then exclaimed with delight, "Level 23!"
The 70,000-year-old Whale GLue and the nearly 9,000-year-old Spirit ring allowed Dugu Lin to break through to level 23. Dugu Lin was somewhat disappointed, as he had thought he would at least reach level 24. He guessed that it was probably due to Whale GLue resistance; even the best Whale GLue probably could not bring him any improvement in physical strength or soul power.
"Level 23! Wow~ Brother, he is already level 23!"
Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, quickly covering her mouth, her eyes filled with envy.
"Hahaha~ As expected of his grandson!" Dugu Bo laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased.
"Quickly check what the second Spirit skill is."
Dugu Lin looked at the Jade Phosphor Serpent and shouted, "Little Lin, second Spirit skill: Jade Phosphor Red Poison!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Jade Phosphor Serpent opened its mouth and spat out a cloud of red poisonous mist, causing a giant tree half a meter thick in front of it to wither rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Dugu Lin was quite disappointed that he could not obtain an amplification-type Spirit skill, but the skill's power was still very good.
"Grandpa, his Spirit skill not only possesses corrosive poison, but it can also paralyze the enemy's nerves, causing them to lose control of their bodies and their judgment on the battlefield."
"Hahaha~~" Dugu Bo laughed and said, "A Spirit skill that is over 8,500 years old is indeed powerful!"
The second-ring Spirit skill possessed two types of toxins: corrosive poison and neurotoxin, something that required two five-ring poison-attribute Soul Kings to accomplish.
"Little brother, he is amazing!" Dugu Yan exclaimed with envy, her eyes sparkling.
"These are all basic procedures, do not be silly!"
Dugu Yan asked in confusion, "What does 'basic operation without six' mean?"
"It means it is a basic operation, nothing to make a fuss about."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard with satisfaction. His grandson was only six years old, yet his soul power had reached level 23. Whose grandson was so outstanding? It was his own.
"Sister, let us go find her second Spirit ring. By the way, Grandpa, what Spirit beast should he choose for her second Spirit ring?"
The two of them looked at Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily and said, "Yan'er, the second Spirit ring that Grandpa prepared for her is the same Spirit beast as Grandpa's second Spirit ring: Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent!"
"Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent?"
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Back then, with her great-grandfather's help, Grandpa obtained his second Spirit ring in a snake valley. He still remembers that a Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent King was provoked by her great-grandfather, and he almost died. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. Sigh~ As people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. Grandpa is really getting old."
Dugu Bo sighed with emotion.
Dugu Lin asked, "Let us not reminisce about the past. You prepared a Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent King for her, right?"
"Yes. Back then, the Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent King gave birth to offspring, and its offspring were born to be Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent Kings. Grandpa estimates that the Phoenix-Tailed Purple Serpent King that was born back then is about 6,000 years old, which is just right for Yan'er."
"Six thousand years? She can definitely absorb it!" Dugu Yan was full of fighting spirit; she did not want to fall behind her younger brother.
Half a day later.
The three finally arrived at a snake valley in the northwest corner of Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo then began to instruct, "This place is called the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes. There are countless kinds of venomous snakes and even more powerful Spirit beasts. You will likely obtain your third, fourth, and fifth Spirit rings here in the future."
"Grandpa, is there a Jade Phosphor Serpent King here? He is thinking of seeing if he can evolve his Jade Phosphor Serpent into a Jade Phosphor Serpent King."
The key to the evolution of the Jade Phosphor Serpent into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor is to replenish the serpent's essence and finally make a final push with a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Spirit Beast, thus evolving into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor in one fell swoop.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo laughed and said, "There are many Spirit beasts here, and no one dares to venture into the depths casually. If they attract a group attack from the Spirit beasts, even Grandpa will have a hard time escaping safely."
Dugu Lin said, "Then let us come again when both of them become stronger."
In any case, the Jade Phosphor Serpent King is definitely a powerful Spirit beast, at least 50,000 years old. Dugu Lin cannot absorb such a high-age Spirit ring right now; he can wait until he becomes stronger. The fifth ring might not be enough, but the sixth…
Dugu Lin thought that his separated Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, could help him share the pressure of soul power, and his expectations for the sixth ring gradually increased.
Moreover, even if he no longer values the Jade Phosphor Serpent King, Dugu Yan will still be able to use it in the future.
"Hahaha~~ Grandpa is waiting for you to become stronger!"
Not long after entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, the three landed in a cave halfway up a mountain cliff. Looking toward the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, they saw that the area was shrouded in thick fog.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is shaped like a gourd. It is about 160 miles long from the mouth to the tail of the gourd. The most powerful Spirit beast Grandpa knows of is a Hell Crimson Spirit Python with more than 80,000 years of cultivation. Even if Grandpa encountered it, he would have to run for his life."
"The Hell Crimson Spirit Python?" Dugu Lin had already decided on this snake.
While introducing the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, Dugu Bo instructed, "So, Grandpa has set up the Jade Phosphor Poison Array here. You all stay in the array and do not run around, understand? The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is not like other places. If something unexpected happens, Grandpa will not be able to save you in time."
