The Phoenix-Tailed Cockatrice Snake, whose body was frozen by Xuan Ming and lost its ability to move, was quickly captured by Tang San and his party.
"stop!"
Just when Oscar was about to take action to obtain the soul ring, a hoarse shout suddenly came from a distance, and then two figures jumped out from the direction where the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake came from.
One old and one young, both women. The old one looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with a head full of white hair. She held a three-meter-long snake-head cane in her hand, and six spirit rings were rhythmically moving on her body.
Next to her was a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short hair that reached her ears and skin as white as snow. She also held a snake-head cane in her hand, which was only two meters long, and had two yellow spirit rings rhythmically moving on her body.
After seeing the spirit rings on the two people clearly, Shrek and his group breathed a sigh of relief.
But the old woman's expression changed, because the seven soul rings on Flanders' body clearly showed that he was a Soul Saint!
This is just the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, how could a Soul Sage appear here?
This was completely beyond her expectations, leaving her at a loss for what to do and even regretting following him.
"Snake Staff, Soul Emperor...Senior, is it the snake lady, Chao Tianxiang?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
Chao Tianxiang then noticed the plain-looking and weak Yu Xiaogang behind Flanders. "That's right. I wonder who you are..."
"I'm Yu Xiaogang, the junior, this is Flanders." Yu Xiaogang introduced.
"Flanders?" Chao Tianxiang was stunned.
"The Golden Triangle, the Four-eyed Cat-Owl Flanders?"
"It's the junior." Flanders was a shrewd man. Although his cultivation was higher than that of the snake woman, he did not put on any high-handed power. Instead, he immediately put down his attitude, called himself the junior, and his face was full of smiles. He looked as humble as he could be.
The Dragon Man and the Snake Woman are like shadows following each other. If the Snake Woman is here, then the Dragon Man Meng Shu must not be too far away.
Having been in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena for a long time and having rich experience, Flanders quickly started negotiating with the snake lady.
He started to flatter her right away, saying in a flattering manner: "Senior Snake, you are a legendary figure in the world of soul masters! Your reputation is well-known, and I have always admired you. You are not only powerful, but also so generous and take good care of me. It is my honor to meet you here today!"
All kinds of words of praise flooded towards Chao Tianxiang like a tide, choking her so much that she couldn't even utter a few words.
Seeing this, Shrek and his companions couldn't help wanting to laugh, but they tried hard to hold it back, and their faces turned red.
Flanders' strength was superior to Chaotianxiang's. He was humble from the start and gave the Snake Lady enough face. Coupled with his boasting combination of punches, he caught the Snake Lady off guard and she had no idea how to respond.
Even if the snake lady was the first to injure the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, they were the ones who caught it after all. Since both sides are in the right and it is not convenient for them to resort to violence, it all depends on who is more shameless!
Obviously, when it comes to shamelessness, Snake Woman is not as good as Flanders!
After some negotiations, Chao Tianxiang was flattered by Flanders to the point where she couldn't speak. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but felt that no matter what she said, it would seem inappropriate.
Moreover, Flanders has already said this. If she threatens Duke Dragon again, with Flanders' strength as a war soul saint with agility attack, it will not be difficult for him to keep the two of them here!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.
"Grandma, we were the first to catch this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake. Why should we give it to them?"
"Since he calls himself a junior, shouldn't the junior give way to the senior?"
The snake lady was already hesitant and ready to back down. She knew very well that the people in front of her were not easy to deal with, especially Flanders. The strength of a Soul Saint was no joke.
But the young and energetic Meng Yiran did not understand the situation. She was still young and was very much loved, so she had no idea about the twists and turns involved.
Listening to Flanders' various modesty and his flattery of the Dragon and Snake Family, she subconsciously felt that Flanders would never dare to provoke their Dragon and Snake Family, and she immediately became tough, completely unaware of the subtle atmosphere on the scene.
"Yi Ran." Chao Tianxiang pulled Meng Yi Ran.
"No disrespect."
"Grandma, we spent a lot of effort to find this, why are you going to give it up so easily?" Meng Yiran said.
Seeing Meng Yiran like this, Flanders felt helpless.
The snake witch is about to give in, why are you, a little girl, making trouble?
But thinking that Lord Dragon might be nearby, Flanders couldn't say anything harsh.
"Since the little girl is reluctant to part with this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, why don't we follow the rules of the spirit master world and let the children decide for themselves where the spirit ring belongs?"
Chao Tianxiang was stunned, obviously a little surprised that Flanders still retreated to this point when he had the upper hand. However, since the other party gave her this face, she would naturally accept it. After all, this Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake was also very important to Meng Yiran!
If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I will meet a suitable soul beast again.
"Then let's do as Brother Fu says." said the snake woman.
Seeing that the snake lady had taken the bait, Flanders told Oscar that as a food-type soul master, he could not fight. At the same time, he suggested that Tang San, a 29th-level two-ring great soul master, fight in his place.
With Tang San's ability to use hidden weapons, let alone a Great Soul Master, even an ordinary Soul Master would have no chance in front of him.
The little girl opposite is definitely not a match for Tang San.
"I'm not going to fight this kid, I'm going to fight that one." Meng Yiran suddenly pointed the snake staff in his hand at Xuan Ming, who had been sitting by the tree and staying out of the matter.
She felt that Tang San looked too young, and she wouldn't feel much of a sense of accomplishment even if he won. However, Xuan Ming sitting there with an oppressive aura made her feel more challenged.
"Him?" Flanders was stunned.
"Are you sure? No, he's not from Shrek, he's my guest."
"Guest?" Meng Yiran frowned slightly.
"Sister Chao, have you ever heard of the legend of the Great Fighting Soul Arena, the Dragon Emperor of the Netherworld?" Flanders said.
Chao Tianxiang's expression changed slightly. After a closer look, she saw Xuan Ming, half of his body, with a black dragon growing from his back, emerging from behind the tree.
"Is it him?"
"Isn't he in Tiandou City?"
"He had some friendship with one of my former students. He passed by Shrek and happened to encounter this incident, so he came with us." Flanders explained.
"The Dragon Emperor of the Underworld?" Meng Yiran frowned slightly.
"What level of cultivation does he have to dare to have such a cool nickname?"
"Ahem, Yiran, don't talk nonsense." Chao Tianxiang hurriedly pulled Meng Yiran.
The title of the Dragon Emperor of the Netherworld is not just a nickname; it represents the attitude of the seven major families in the Great Fighting Spirit Arena!
Moreover, this kid is very close to the Tiandou royal family and has a close relationship with Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. He is not someone their family can afford to offend!
Hearing this, Xuan Ming finally opened his eyes and stood up.
If he remembered correctly, the human-faced demon spider that Tang San encountered was chased and injured by Long Gong. Now that Long Gong is not here, he is most likely chasing that human-faced demon spider.
He didn't have the patience to continue wandering around with this group of people. If they found Lord Dragon, they would be able to find the human-faced demon spider!
"I'll fight you." Xuan Ming said calmly.
"Bullying again..." Xiao Wu couldn't help but mutter.
Xuan Ming looked at Xiao Wu speechlessly and said, "I won't bully you. I won't use any spirit skills. As long as you can let me move one step, you win."
"And even if you lose, I can help you find a suitable soul beast."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. When did Xuan Ming become so easy to talk to?
Flanders' eyes looked back and forth between Xuan Ming and Meng Yiran.
Could it be that Xuan Ming has taken a fancy to that girl?
Meng Yiran looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is physically mature and has a beautiful appearance. In comparison, Xiao Wu and the others seem too young.
"Really?" Before Meng Yiran could say anything, the snake woman spoke.
"Really?" Xuan Ming said.
If he wanted to find Lord Long, he couldn't just follow him for no reason, he had to find a reasonable reason.
Just right, take one and return the other.
