Chapter 81: Origin Supplement, The 100,000-Year-Old Crimson Spirit Python from Hell!
Half a day later.
As soon as they entered the core of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, Dugu Bo began to warn everyone to be careful.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes is teeming with venomous snakes, among which are countless powerful snake-like spirit beasts! We must not be careless! Our target this time is a Hell Crimson Spirit Python, over 80,000 years old, located in a thousand-meter-long snake cave at the heart of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes!"
"A Crimson Spirit Python from Hell? Eighty thousand years old?!"
Huo Yun asked in surprise, "Senior Dugu, your grandson... isn't he at level 60 in soul power? How could he absorb an 80,000-year soul ring?"
At the side, Long Gong Meng Shu also spoke up, "I think the reason you called us here is because there is a special soul beast hiding in the snake cave in the core area of the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes, which is not easy to hunt."
Dugu Bo explained, "As you all know, Lin'er's martial soul is special; it's a rare detached martial soul! Detached martial souls can help soul masters share half of the pressure of their soul rings! Plus, the soul bone... has a lifespan of 80,000 years, which isn't high."
Suddenly, Dugu Bo paused, thinking that his grandson had obtained another pair of divine-level external soul bones, and that Xiao Lin's external soul bone had also broken through the 100,000-year limit! That meant that his grandson's body could withstand a pressure that far exceeded 100,000 years!
The Soft-Boned Enchanting Rabbit!
Between the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit and the 80,000-year-old Hell Crimson Spirit Python, Dugu Bo strongly preferred the 100,000-year-old soul ring! After all, one is red and the other is black! The colors are different.
"Can a detached martial soul share the soul power pressure when absorbing soul rings?" Huo Yun exclaimed in surprise.
Meng Shu's pupils contracted sharply. After processing the information, he exclaimed in amazement, "Is this what a detached martial soul is? This talent... is unparalleled in the world!"
"Yes, yes, the name of the detached martial soul will surely spread throughout the entire continent!" Huo Yun echoed.
However, Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang said, "If I remember correctly, Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Clan also has a detached martial soul! His talent... tsk tsk tsk~~ So, Xiao Lin, it's your own excellence that matters! It has little to do with a detached martial soul!"
The implication is that Yu Xiaogang himself is a good-for-nothing!
"Grandma Chao, you flatter me!"
"Haha~ You're just too outstanding." Chao Tianxiang said with a kind smile.
Meng Shu laughed and said, "Since you're so confident, let's go hunt down this Hell Crimson Spirit Python!"
"Alright!" Huo Yun also wanted to know just how outstanding Dugu Lin was, and whether he could successfully absorb the soul ring!
An 80,000-year spirit ring is the limit that even a soul master with an eighth spirit ring wouldn't dare to attempt easily! In fact, an 80,000-year spirit ring is more than enough for a titled Douluo's ninth spirit ring!
Along the way, the five of them proceeded cautiously, avoiding all the spirit beasts they could, not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble.
Huo Yun asked in a low voice, "Senior Dugu, please tell me about the situation inside this snake cave. What powerful soul beasts are there?"
"As far as I know, the most powerful creature in the snake cave is the Hell Crimson Spirit Python, which is over 80,000 years old! There are also three Hell Crimson Spirit Pythons, which are between 20,000 and 50,000 years old! In addition to the Hell Crimson Spirit Pythons, there is also a six-foot Xuanming Snake, which is less than 60,000 years old, and a Bat-Winged Rock Snake, which is 40,000 years old."
"So many!" Huo Yun exclaimed in surprise.
Chao Tianxiang frowned and said softly, "There are even more high-level soul beasts than in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo frowned and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps there's something special about this place that makes all these snakes gather here! Once too many soul beasts gather, soul masters won't come here to hunt souls! Then, the age of the soul beasts will increase, and their numbers will also increase."
"Go back to the circle!" Dugu Lin concluded.
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "Lin'er, let Xiao Lin go ahead and scout ahead. It would be best if he could find the exact location of the Hell Crimson Spirit Python."
"Alright! Come out, Xiao Lin."
The more than ten-meter-long Jade Phosphor Serpent, Xiao Lin, suddenly appeared, and Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Huo Yun were full of curiosity.
"Is this your martial soul? Judging from his aura and physique, he should be 40,000 years old! And the Jade Phosphor Serpent is a highly venomous snake. Given his condition, even a Soul Saint shouldn't be a match for him, right?" Huo Yun's face was solemn as he gained a preliminary understanding of Dugu Lin and his detached martial soul.
Dugu Lin smiled and instructed, "Xiao Lin, go scout ahead and be careful! Come back on your own if there's any danger! If possible, lure the Hell Crimson Spirit Python out of its lair!"
"Hiss~~"
Xiao Lin flicked its tongue and swam into the snake's den.
Seeing this, Meng Shu asked curiously, "Lin'er, how far can your detached martial soul travel from you?"
"There is no distance limit! However, you must return to my body once every twelve hours and stay inside me for at least two hours!"
Therefore, they cultivate together during the day and return Xiao Lin to their bodies when they go to sleep at night, so as not to exploit their labor.
"As the saying goes, the world is full of wonders! I think he's quite intelligent, and you've gained a very reliable partner!" Meng Shu nodded and exclaimed, "It's truly enviable! Who wouldn't want a partner who won't betray them?"
"Haha~ Grandpa Meng, I was just a little lucky."
"No need to be modest! It's your exceptional talent!"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dugu Bo gave Dugu Lin a look, and the grandfather and grandson immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"Lin'er, after obtaining the divine-level soul bone, your current physical strength will be no problem for another 100,000 years... Soft Bone Enchanting Rabbit..."
Dugu Bo had always been thinking about the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.
Dugu Lin shook his head and said, "Grandpa, there isn't much difference between an 80,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul ring! Have you forgotten about Seagod Island? Divine trials can increase the age of a soul ring! Besides, since Xiao Lin absorbed the fourth ring and made up for the defects of hibernation, Grandpa, don't you understand the importance of the snake essence to Xiao Lin?"
Dugu Bo shook his head with a wry smile, already convinced by Dugu Lin's words. He thought to himself, "It's precisely because Lin'er has consistently adhered to the path of compensating for his inherent flaws that he has achieved what he has today!"
"Besides, it's not like I don't want the Soul Ring of the Soft Bone Rabbit. I still have a second Martial Soul!"
"Forget it, your vision has already surpassed Grandpa's. You can decide for yourself."
The grandfather and grandson reached an agreement: the sixth ring would be the Hell Crimson Spirit Python.
Rats have their paths, and snakes have theirs.
Within the snake cave, teeming with snake-like spirit beasts, the Jade Phosphor Serpent was a rare species, and it roamed freely within the cave without hindrance.
"Hiss~~" Xiao Lin flicked its tongue, searching for the location of the Hell Crimson Spirit Python.
Not long after, just as Xiao Lin found his way and arrived at the entrance of a cave, he heard an old voice!
"You little Jade Phosphor Serpent dare to come to my cave? Seeing how hard you've worked to cultivate, get out of here!"
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was a 100,000-year-old soul beast that could speak human language! He was immediately excited!
"Roar!" Xiao Lin opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of icy cold air, heading towards the depths of the cave.
In an instant, the cave was frozen solid.
An angry voice came from deep within: "You're asking for death!"
