Chapter 43 The Serpent's Kiss and the Spider's Ode
The blue plants that covered the forest like a carpet, covering every inch of the land... Where was the weak weeds that crawled on the ground in his memory?
It is clearly a vast, orderly, and vibrant plant kingdom!
These various forms of blue silver grass scattered throughout Sunset Forest are probably all under the control of Young Master Lin Qiyue!
This forms a vast sensory network covering the entire forest.
Judging from the density and spirituality of this Blue Silver Grass, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that the entire Sunset Forest is under Lin Qiyue's control!
What kind of terrifying method must this be?
They are like gods of the forest itself!
No wonder the young master knows this forest so well.
Dugu Bo's awe of Lin Qiyue deepened even further.
Without dwelling on it too much, he composed himself and, following the guidance of the Blue Silver Grass in his hand, led Dugu Yan swiftly through the dense forest.
With Blue Silver Grass guiding them, their efficiency is extremely high.
About an hour later, they came to the edge of a slightly dark and damp woodland.
The blue silver grass in his hand stopped pointing the way, and its leaves trembled slightly.
Dugu Bo signaled Dugu Yan to stop, and then quietly released his spiritual power to probe forward.
Soon, his gaze locked onto a dark shadow that blended almost seamlessly into its surroundings beneath a gnarled, withered tree a few dozen feet away.
It was a large spider-like soul beast covered in a dark purple carapace.
Its eight eerie green eyes are arranged in two rows, its abdomen has a pale white pattern that looks like a distorted human face, and its eight long legs end in sharp spears. It lies quietly, seemingly waiting for its prey to come to it.
"The human-faced demon spider, judging from its size, is about 1,300 years old."
Dugu Bo said in a low voice.
"This guy is highly toxic, and his attacks are swift and unpredictable. His accompanying soul skills are often related to poison, binding, and penetration, which is indeed very suitable for your martial soul, as it can further enhance the poison and the attack power."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's dark purple eyes immediately lit up, eager to try it out: "That's it, Grandpa!"
"Okay, step back a bit."
He did not release his martial spirit; instead, his figure flickered and disappeared from the spot like a ghost.
The next moment, it appeared above the human-faced demon spider.
The terrifying pressure of the Title Douluo poured down like a tangible force, instantly suppressing the Human-Faced Demon Spider, which was about to launch an attack, firmly to the ground.
Dugu Bo casually waved his hand, and a condensed dark green soul force slashed across like a blade.
Damn!
Blood splattered.
The human-faced spider let out a mournful hiss.
He was immediately left with only one breath.
Dugu Yan came up to finish him off, and a deep purple soul ring slowly rose from his corpse.
Dugu Yan looked at the purple thousand-year soul ring with excitement in her eyes.
After calming his excited emotions, he sat cross-legged and released his Azure Phosphorous Purple Serpent Martial Soul.
The serpentine shadow, gleaming with a noble purple light, coiled behind him.
Traction, absorption.
Time passed little by little.
When the last bit of energy was completely absorbed, the spirit ring was finally placed on her.
As the three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose, Dugu Yan's spirit power surged violently, and her aura suddenly soared!
He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them. Feeling the surging, far more powerful soul force within his body than before, a look of wild joy appeared on his face.
"Grandpa! I...I'm level 36!"
Dugu Yan jumped up, her voice trembling with excitement.
"A direct level increase of six! Adding to the previous level increase from breaking through level 30, that's a total of seven levels!"
Fourteen years old, a level thirty-six Soul Master!
This cultivation speed would cause a sensation in any advanced soul master academy!
Dugu Bo was also slightly moved, his eyes filled with undisguised surprise.
He knew that the medicinal herbs were incredibly potent and that his granddaughter was quite talented, but the fact that she had leveled up six times in one go after absorbing the soul ring was still somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Level seven... No wonder it is a peerless treasure that even the young master calls a 'celestial grade'."
Dugu Bo sighed.
They gave all these medicinal herbs directly to the grandfather and grandson; this kindness... can never be repaid.
Dugu Yan excitedly pumped her fist.
"Grandpa, let's go back quickly! I want to show the young master my new soul skill!"
She couldn't wait to return to the valley shrouded in blue-gold light, wanting to show her the results to the boy who had changed her destiny as soon as possible.
Looking at his granddaughter's excited face, Dugu Bo nodded with a smile: "Alright, let's go back. But Yanyan, remember the young master's previous instructions: do not be arrogant or complacent. Your journey has only just begun."
"Okay, Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan agreed verbally, but her feet had already started moving, her heart yearning to return home.
A moment later, the Valley of Ice and Fire.
Lin Qiyue was increasing the age of a Blue Silver Grass when she sensed the return of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's auras, so she stopped and looked back with a smile.
Two figures passed through the vine-covered archway and walked quickly towards them.
Dugu Yan's face was filled with undisguised excitement. She almost ran to a spot not far from Lin Qiyue, her pure black eyes shining as she looked at him.
"Young Master! I've finished absorbing the spirit ring!"
"Hmm, it seems to be going smoothly."
Lin Qiyue glanced at the significantly stronger soul power fluctuations around her and nodded slightly.
"Level 36, not bad. What's your third soul skill?"
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up even more when the new soul skill was mentioned.
"Young master, my third soul skill is called 'Snake Kiss Spider's Tale'! Let me demonstrate it for you!"
She took a few steps back and came to a relatively open space.
With a thought, three spirit rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—rose from beneath his feet.
The third purple soul ring lit up.
"Third Soul Skill, Serpent's Kiss Spider's Gift!"
Suddenly, the illusory image of the Azure Phosphorous Purple Serpent behind her opened its mouth, and a slender serpent shadow, only a foot long and as condensed as if carved from purple crystal, shot out from its mouth!
The purple serpentine shadow was incredibly fast, leaving an almost imperceptible afterimage in the air before instantly striking a hard rock, half a person's height, dozens of steps away.
The snake's shadow vanished the moment it touched the rock, making little noise, but the spot where it struck suddenly turned an eerie purplish-black.
And it spreads and corrodes rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
zizi...
A tooth-grinding corrosive sound rang out, and the hard rock surface quickly became pitted and uneven as if it had been splashed with strong acid, with purplish-black poisonous marks penetrating deep into the rock.
"This is only the first form, a single-target attack."
Dugu Yan explained, her tone filled with pride.
"It combines the potent venom of my Azure Phosphorous Purple Serpent with the nerve-paralyzing, corrosive, and penetrating poison of the Human-Faced Demon Spider, forming an extremely domineering mixed toxin. Once hit, the toxin will instantly invade the target's body, eroding flesh and blood, paralyzing nerves, and corroding soul power, making it extremely difficult to remove. Moreover..."
She paused, then another thought crossed her mind.
The purplish-black poisonous mark that was eroding the rock suddenly contracted, and then—
puff!
With a soft pop, the purplish-black poison mark, along with the eroded rock fragments inside, suddenly exploded!
