Chapter 121: Inviting Long Gong and She Po

Just as Long Gong and Zhao Wuji finished their argument, Meng Yiran had also finished absorbing her Spirit Ring and stood up.

This Spirit Ring was absorbed a bit too easily; after all, its age was far from reaching the limit for a third ring, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake was not a Datura Snake, so its aggression was very weak, which also resulted in the power within its Spirit Ring being very gentle.

"Hey!" As soon as Meng Yiran opened her eyes, she thrust her snake staff toward Tang San, her third Spirit Ring flashing; her speed was incomparably swift, and even Tang San's reaction was a step slow, nearly being struck by the snake staff.

But when he barely dodged it by stepping into the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, another force exploded beside him, blowing him into a disheveled, dusty mess.

In truth, Meng Yiran did not intend to hurt him; even if Tang San could not dodge, she had held back at the final moment.

The deliberate move was merely a show of force, and Tang San only had a dirty face; he was not injured.

It seems the move she obtained was a speed-type technique, likely that thrust just now, which seemingly also had a secondary attack effect; even Tang San was caught off guard and hit by it.

"Hey, what are you doing? You already got your Spirit Ring, why are you still attacking my brother!" Xiao Wu said with Anger.

"Hmph, I was just thanking this fellow. If he hadn't been such a waste, I wouldn't have obtained such a good Spirit Ring." Meng Yiran smiled; she had heard the disrespectful words Tang San and Zhao Wuji had spoken toward Long Gong earlier.

This group of people, having lost, actually still mocked and ridiculed her grandfather. Being unable to accept defeat like this—her grandfather was of high prestige and did not want to bully the weak, but she was her grandfather's devoted little cotton-padded jacket, so she had to vent for him.

Originally, Oscar's Spirit Ring would have provided the two major abilities of flight and high speed.

"This little brother has a sharp eye. May I ask your honorable name?" Meng Yiran asked, cupping her hands.

Yet, no matter how precious an Immortal Herb is, it requires someone to use it to realize its value.

As for those loyal to his country, such as Jia Chong and Elder Zhang, he naturally would not omit them and had long since made preparations.

"Nan Feihuang? You are the Flying General, Nan Feihuang!" Long Gong was startled. Fortunately, he hadn't gotten angry and attacked because of Zhao Wuji just now. The Flying General was actually here; if he and Zhao Wuji were in cahoots, he really couldn't afford to provoke him.

After all, the person had two Title Douluo behind him.

"Miss Meng, what a beautiful attack. It seems you have inherited the two major characteristics of speed and storage from the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake," Nan Feihuang said.

He was quite interested in this Long Gong and She Po. Long Gong was a high-level Spirit Douluo; although the original records didn't state his exact level, based on rumors over the years, it was speculated that he should be at least level 85, having more potential to become a Title Douluo than Jia Chong.

The Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake has three major characteristics: flight, high speed, and the nutrients stored in its cockscomb. These nutrients can restore its power at any time, allowing it to perform a two-stage attack or to escape.

Moreover, she was only trying to scare him, not truly intending to hurt anyone.

"I didn't expect the senior to actually know me; the junior is truly honored," Nan Feihuang said. "Senior, it is a rare encounter today. I would like to invite you on behalf of my mother, if you have leisure, to visit my Gu Lei Kingdom for a chat. This is also something my mother specifically instructed me to do."

As for Meng Yiran, she did not inherit flight, but she did obtain high speed and storage. Her two-stage attack: the first strike is a high-speed thrust using the speed of the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake; even if the opponent dodges it, the snake venom stored in the snake staff will suddenly explode. This strike is very easy to catch an opponent off guard.

Nan Feihuang had currently only given the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to his own family, and there was still a large portion remaining.

Nan Feihuang smiled. "Little brother? Haha, I am not older than you. I am Nan Feihuang, and I have long admired you two seniors, Long Gong and She Po."

And this Long Gong and his family had not yet joined any faction, and the location of his family was right at the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Gu Lei Kingdom.

The Exotic Beast Academy where Meng Yiran was located was even within the territory of the Gu Lei Kingdom; in a sense, their family could be considered half-citizens of the Gu Lei Kingdom.

If there was an opportunity to win them over, Nan Feihuang naturally did not want to miss it.

"Since it is an invitation from the Profound Ice Crown, if this old man has leisure, I shall certainly come to pay a visit. Alright, Yiran, the Spirit Ring has been successfully obtained, we should go." Although Long Gong's reply was slightly perfunctory, it counted as an agreement. Nan Feihuang knew he didn't care much about the Gu Lei Kingdom right now, but there would always be a time when he had to care. When that time came, as long as he was given a way out, he would use today's invitation to come and pay a visit.

Long Gong left with She Po and Meng Yiran, and Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others did not dare to stop them.

Nan Feihuang was very curious: without Long Gong, would Tang San still have a destiny with his Human-Faced Demon Spider?

Dugu Bo's act of secretly playing dirty, from his own perspective, was just a small trick to mess with Tang San, making him lose face, and inexplicably screwing over Oscar, causing him to lose his third Spirit Ring.

But in Nan Feihuang's view, this had really messed Tang San up.

Meng Yiran had already left the forest; Long Gong would certainly not go back to hunt that Human-Faced Demon Spider, and even if Xiao Wu were to be snatched away by the Titan Giant Ape later, he might not necessarily run into it.

What would happen to his third Spirit Ring and Eight Spider Lances then?

Nan Feihuang expressed: tough luck!

He was happy to see it.

Well done, Old Poison!

Having lost the Cockscomb Phoenix Tail Snake, they could only search for Spirit Beasts again. Although they had entered the range where thousand-year Spirit Beasts lived, finding a suitable Spirit Beast was not that easy.

The two groups walked for a day and did not encounter any suitable for any of the five.

In fact, the Spirit Rings they needed were all not easy to find.

Oscar needed one that was relatively gentle, focusing on recovery, healing, and resource supply.

Tang San always kept his teacher's requirements in mind: the Spirit Ring must have the two attributes of poison and toughness.

Dugu Yan also needed a poison Spirit Ring, and Yu Tianheng had even higher requirements; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit would reject other types of Spirit Rings, so it had to be of the dragon species, at least a sub-dragon.

As for Nan Feihuang, he was aiming for a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring, which was why he had written to his mother in advance.

He guessed that his mother had already arrived and was likely with Dugu Bo now, secretly protecting them.

Time gradually turned to night; everyone had searched for a day and was tired, so they prepared to have a good rest.

With two high-level Spirit Masters like Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, there was no danger on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, so they could sleep with peace of mind.

Under the dense forest, a group of children lay on the ground, all emitting faint breathing sounds, clearly having fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming sat on large trees not far from the children on either side to keep watch for everyone.

But neither of them noticed a burst of emerald-green light quietly arriving at their camp.

"Flying General!"

A voice condensed into a line and flew into Nan Feihuang's ear.

Nan Feihuang opened his eyes, his mouth moving slightly to transmit his words in the same way, "Old Poison, it really is you. Why have you come? Is my mother with you?"
