Chapter 51: The Price of Being a Creep

After determining the target.

The group did not stop at all, heading straight toward the direction of Fengsha Valley.

Fengsha Valley.

It is one of the essential paths leading to the Poison Miasma Zone in the heart of Death Canyon, and also the most perilous one.

Even on the outskirts, thousand-year Spirit Beasts can be found.

The hurricanes in Fengsha Valley are as poisonous as whips soaked in brine, lashing the entire valley floor until it is torn and bleeding. The wind carries grit, slamming against the cliffs and pulling sharp, shrill whistles from the honeycomb-like network of caves, sounding like thousands of wronged souls wailing in the stone crevices.

The valley floor is littered with the grim bones of beasts, constantly being eroded and buried by the wind and sand.

"This—this is too terrifying!"

Dugu Yan crouched on a rock ledge, gazing into the distance at the scene within Fengsha Valley, and could not help but swallow nervously, "Is this the kind of place you usually come to for Spirit Hunting?"

"This is also the place we least want to come to."

Hu Liena nodded, looking somewhat fearful as she said, "We once worked together here to kill a 1,300-year-old top-tier Spirit Beast, a White-Eyed Black-Striped Tiger, and nearly ended up as those dry bones ourselves."

Hiss~

Dugu Yan could not help but gasp.

Killing a thousand-year Spirit Beast!

They were only Spirit Masters in their teens; one must know that a thousand-year Spirit Beast requires at least a Soul Elder or even a Soul Ancestor to handle.

How is this possible!

No wonder their talent is far superior to those princes and princesses of the Tiandou Royal Academy.

It is truly shocking and hard to accept.

According to conventional wisdom, seven Spirit Masters would indeed be helpless against a thousand-year Spirit Beast and might even be killed in return. In fact, Dugu Yan does not know that the Golden Generation's nearly perfect coordination and the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Hu Liena and Xie Yue are the keys to victory.

"Brother Lin Feng."

Zhang Ping spoke up at this moment: "Fengsha Valley is so large, how are we supposed to find the Mountain-Swallowing Python?"

Indeed.

With such a large terrain, the Mountain-Swallowing Python won't just stand in front of you waiting to be killed.

Moreover, other Spirit Beasts often appear here, so the chance of running directly into the Mountain-Swallowing Python is too small.

"There."

Su Linfeng reached out and pointed to the caves on the canyon cliff eroded by the wind and sand, saying, "The Mountain-Swallowing Python likes humid environments and has extremely high requirements for temperature, humidity, and concealment, so their habitats are generally inside rock caves."

Rock caves?!

The group looked up at the dense clusters of caves before them, instantly feeling a headache.

With so many caves, how are they supposed to search?

Just climbing up is exhausting, and the narrow space inside is unfavorable for using soul skills; if they encounter other powerful Spirit Beasts, they would be unable to fend them off.

"So many caves."

Xie Yue looked up at the honeycomb-like caves and smiled bitterly, "We aren't going to have to search them one by one, are we?"

"No need."

Su Linfeng waved his hand and continued, "That would be too troublesome. The Mountain-Swallowing Python has a massive body and likes to prey on medium-to-large omnivorous Spirit Beasts. We only need to set up bait to lure it out."

Hu Liena: "But where would we get bait?"

"We have some."

Su Linfeng's lips curled slightly as he turned his head to look at Li Kai, who was standing to the side.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze fell upon him.

That's right!

Isn't there ready-made bait right here?

Li Kai's martial soul is a wild boar, which perfectly fits the standard of a medium-to-large omnivorous Spirit Beast.

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Li Kai was still oblivious at this moment, looking down at himself, wondering if he had made a fool of himself somewhere.

"Go."

Zhang Ping was more direct; she reached out and gave Li Kai a shove, "Go down, release your martial soul, and lure the Mountain-Swallowing Python out!"

Huh?

Li Kai finally reacted, and his face turned black instantly.

No way!

They want to use him as bait?

However, seeing Zhang Ping's death stare, which was filled with both command and irritation, Li Kai still instinctively swallowed his saliva. This is the price for wanting to peek at someone's undergarments.

Serves him right!

"Brother Lin Feng, remember to save me later!"

Finally, Li Kai gave Su Linfeng a pleading look, then bit the bullet and walked toward the canyon.

Originally, Dugu Yan wanted to say something.

She felt that letting Li Kai be the bait was a bit too risky; what if something dangerous happened?

After all, he was doing this for her Spirit Ring!

But before Dugu Yan could speak, she was pulled back by Hu Liena, who then snorted coldly, "Don't worry, Green-Haired Sister. Since he's so lecherous, just let him go!"

"Lecherous?" Dugu Yan was bewildered.

"Humph—humph—"

At this moment, Li Kai, who had just walked a short distance away, had already completed his martial soul possession. A black wild boar phantom, fully three meters tall, appeared, completely obscuring Li Kai's original figure.

Martial soul possession is not a transformation, but the aura will completely turn into that of a wild boar; although it is only a phantom, it is enough to lure out a century-old Mountain-Swallowing Python that lacks intelligence.

Shake!

It is not just Li Kai who is shaking.

Looking from afar, as he goes deeper, the entire wild boar is shaking.

"Everyone, get ready!"

Before long, Su Linfeng suddenly raised an eyebrow and warned urgently: "It seems there is movement!"

At the same time.

Li Kai's wild boar martial soul also seems to have sensed the approach of danger.

And it begins to tremble even more uncontrollably.

Hiss~ hiss~ hiss~

Right within the smooth cliff cave to the southwest, a hair-raising hissing sound comes forth.

Whoosh~

Suddenly.

Just as Li Kai looks up, a black figure darts out from the rock cave like lightning, heading straight for the giant wild boar.

Holy crap! So big!

Is this definitely a python? It's way over the limit!

Li Kai's mind is completely shaken at this moment; the Mountain-Swallowing Python's body is at least over five meters long, and its python body, as thick as a tree, swoops down from the air like a giant flying python descending from the heavens.

"Savage Charge!"

Li Kai dares not hesitate and instinctively activates his soul skill at the first moment.

Boom!!!

The wild boar and the Mountain-Swallowing Python clash head-on; unexpectedly, they are evenly matched, but the Mountain-Swallowing Python is clearly more agile, and while being charged, it instantly shifts its body, the massive python body wrapping directly around Li Kai.

It knocks him directly to the ground.

As expected of a Mountain-Swallowing Python; the Spirit Beasts on its food chain have no ability to resist at all.

Although it was briefly impacted, its hunting instinct activates the very next second, and after rolling a few times, it binds Li Kai and his possessed martial soul like a rice dumpling.

"Ah, holy crap! Brother Lin Feng, save me!" Li Kai wails instantly.

At the same time.

Su Linfeng and the others also descend from the sky.

The moment he sees Su Linfeng, Li Kai is almost moved to tears.

But the next second.

Li Kai is stunned; he watches with his own eyes as Su Linfeng passes by him, not even bothering to pay him any mind.

What is going on!

However, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the others have also arrived by now.

All kinds of brilliant soul skills are unleashed upon the Mountain-Swallowing Python, and the Mountain-Swallowing Python is instantly subjected to a gang beating.

What is Brother Su doing?

Hu Liena and the others are also surprised that Su Linfeng walked away without caring about Li Kai.

"Trying to run!"

Su Linfeng snorts coldly.

By now, he has penetrated fifty meters into the canyon, and relying on his perception of Spirit Beasts, he instantly completes his martial soul possession.

A massive Golden Crow phantom, fully ten meters tall, flashes behind him.

The fourth black ring shines.

Screech!!!

A loud, clear crane cry rings out.

The Golden Crow flaps its wings, and nine crimson-gold fire chains suddenly fly out from its black wings, heading straight for a rock cave on the cliff.

Four rings!

One yellow, one purple, two black!

Soul Ancestor!!!

This is the first time Dugu Yan has seen Su Linfeng make a move, and she is almost shocked out of her wits by the scene before her.

A seven-year-old Soul Ancestor!

Is... is he even human?

Are there still recommendation votes? Are there still monthly tickets? Is there anyone who can give a good review? If not, I will come back and ask again tomorrow.
