Star Dou Forest!

After a brief rest in a small town located about a hundred miles from the Star Dou Forest yesterday, today, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Wang Li officially entered the forest.

Dugu Bo explained:

"From the moment Yan Yan was born, she was afflicted by the deadly venom of the Blue Silver Snake. As she trained, I dared not allow her to absorb any potent poison until her third soul ring, when I finally allowed a corrosive poison to be added."

"Now that Li is here, Yan Yan's fourth soul ring must be chosen carefully. The soul beasts should be snakes, pythons, spiders, or centipedes... the stronger the poison, the better."

Wang Li nodded in response:

"Grandfather, I understand. I'll find the most suitable soul beast for Yan Yan."

After saying this, Wang Li activated his Blue Silver Domain, and his spiritual power expanded, spreading outwards.

Soon, within a radius of several hundred meters, the entire area was enveloped by the Blue Silver Domain. All the Blue Silver Grass joyfully accepted his leadership as the Blue Silver King.

Using the Blue Silver Domain as a foundation, Wang Li created a comprehensive surveillance network, leaving no blind spots. Every small movement, every whisper of wind, was immediately detected.

Within the domain, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were amazed, watching Wang Li. This domain was incredibly convenient.

As Wang Li had mentioned, the Blue Silver Domain didn't provide much enhancement for combat at the moment, but its ability to accelerate cultivation, scout the surroundings, and communicate with plants demonstrated its immense value.

At this moment, with Dugu Bo guarding him, Wang Li felt at ease as he began scanning the area for soul beasts. He encountered creatures of various ages—ten-year-old, hundred-year-old, and thousand-year-old soul beasts.

In order to gather more types of soul beasts for reference, Wang Li led Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan deeper into the Star Dou Forest.

As they ventured further, the ten-year-old and hundred-year-old soul beasts gradually became fewer, while the number of thousand-year-old soul beasts steadily increased.

Half a day later, Wang Li suddenly widened his eyes and said seriously:

"Grandfather, Yan Yan, I see a purple python, about the thickness of an adult's thigh and seven to eight meters long. It's likely a Mystic Lurking Serpent, and it's at least four thousand years old. How does this soul beast sound?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was overjoyed. He glanced at Dugu Yan and said with excitement:

"The Mystic Lurking Serpent doesn't have a fatal poison, but its toxic smoke specifically targets the five senses, rendering its prey blind and deaf. It waits patiently for the prey's strength to drain before devouring them alive."

"At least four thousand years old, this is a good choice for Yan Yan's fourth soul ring. Where exactly is this serpent?"

Wang Li calculated the position and replied:

"Southeast, about six hundred meters away. The Mystic Lurking Serpent seems to have eaten its fill and is now hiding beneath rubble and fallen leaves. Its aura is faint, and its heartbeat slow. Without the domain, it would be hard to detect."

"Let's go quickly!"

Knowing the location, Dugu Bo didn't hesitate. He immediately took Dugu Yan and Wang Li, flying low to reach the Mystic Lurking Serpent's location in no time.

After setting Dugu Yan down, Wang Li and Dugu Bo spoke:

"Li, protect Yan Yan. I'll take care of this Mystic Lurking Serpent and let Yan Yan finish the hunt."

Wang Li nodded in response:

"Got it, Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan was also a bit excited. This Mystic Lurking Serpent, if all went well, could provide her with a powerful control-type soul skill, one that could render her enemies blind and deaf. Even if it wasn't fatal in itself, being turned into a blind and deaf person in battle would usually be the beginning of their demise.

At the same time, Dugu Bo activated his martial soul, and a deadly aura locked onto the Mystic Lurking Serpent, which was still hidden beneath the rubble and leaves.

Upon sensing this murderous intent, the giant purple serpent stopped hiding. It sprang to its feet, opening its massive maw and exhaling a cloud of deep purple poisonous smoke.

Thanks to the toxic smoke, even soul masters and soul beasts with higher power typically struggled against it.

But today, it faced Dugu Bo, a master of poison, renowned for using poison to counter poison.

Dugu Bo waved his hand, enveloped himself in a sickly green poisonous mist. He then used it to protect himself as he navigated through the purple toxic smoke and reached the Mystic Lurking Serpent's side.

The serpent's belly was swollen, likely from having consumed prey that had not yet fully digested. Its strength and speed were thus reduced.

Moreover, its opponent was none other than Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo with the power of level 90. Dugu Bo effortlessly overwhelmed the Mystic Lurking Serpent, making it howl in pain.

The serpent writhed on the ground, vomiting as it tried to expel its previous meal and looked for an opportunity to flee.

However, Dugu Bo was not about to give the Mystic Lurking Serpent any chance. He immediately unleashed several types of deadly poisons: paralysis poison, corrosive poison, the Blue Silver Snake's venom, and the Blue Silver Snake King's poison...

In just a few minutes, the Mystic Lurking Serpent was on the verge of death, barely clinging to life, as if it would expire at any moment.

At this point, Dugu Bo began to clean up the aftermath, eliminating all traces of poison from the surroundings, before saying:

"Yan Yan, Li, come over here. Yan Yan, kill it quickly. Otherwise, under my poisons, it won't last much longer!"

Dugu Yan wasn't a rookie at hunting soul beasts. She quickly stepped forward, drew a short sword, and thrust it into the serpent's brain through its eye.

In no time, the Mystic Lurking Serpent was dead. Purple energy swirled around it, forming a purple soul ring.

She then said to Dugu Bo and Wang Li:

"Grandfather, Li, I'll absorb this soul ring now."

With that, Dugu Yan sat cross-legged, calming her mind, summoning her martial soul, and calling forth the soul ring. The purple ring immediately rose above her head and quickly descended, merging into her body.

Dugu Bo had already checked the serpent's age. It was at most 4,600 years old—its species and age were perfect for Dugu Yan.

As expected, two hours later, Dugu Yan woke up, having successfully absorbed the soul ring without any complications.

Dugu Bo asked:

"Yan Yan, how do you feel?"

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo and Wang Li, her face beaming with joy. She explained:

"My fourth soul skill, which I call the Blue Silver Soul-Piercing Trap, releases a large amount of poisonous smoke to form a poisonous array. Inside this array, any soul master of my level who comes into contact with the smoke will lose their five senses. Even soul masters a whole rank above me will be affected to some extent. The stronger the soul master, the less the effect. Even if they leave the poison array's range, it will still take at least half an hour for them to clear the poison with their soul power and restore their senses."

Dugu Bo and Wang Li exchanged a look and both smiled, clearly pleased.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily:

"This soul skill is really impressive. Li's domain is so convenient; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to find this Mystic Lurking Serpent so easily."

Wang Li smiled slightly:

"It's also a bit of luck. This Mystic Lurking Serpent, both in terms of age and its poisonous smoke, is perfect for Yan Yan."
