Chapter 59 Mirror Image Poisonous Python
After identifying their target, the group immediately set off for the area where the Mirror Image Poisonous Python lived.
Of course, the group did not bring Ye Lingling along, since her cultivation level was too low. Bringing her along would not only slow down their journey, but also require them to spend energy taking care of her.
In fact, Dugu Bo alone was enough to hunt the soul beast this time. In fact, he could have easily captured the soul beast and allowed Dugu Yan to successfully absorb the soul ring.
However, the reason why the group went together was mainly because the soul beast presented several thorny issues.
First, the soul beast's body is as clear and transparent as crystal. When it is still, it blends into its surroundings, almost achieving the effect of invisibility.
Secondly, if it is in a dormant state, even a Title Douluo-level Soul Master standing within ten meters of it will find it difficult to detect its presence, because its aura is even weaker than that of ordinary snakes.
Furthermore, this soul beast is not a carnivorous soul beast. Although it is a venomous python, its venom is mainly used to poison or intimidate opponents stronger than itself.
Because this little guy is extremely timid, he could be scared to death at the slightest carelessness.
However, if a soul beast dies of fright, the resulting soul ring cannot be absorbed by anyone.
This is why Dugu Bo doesn't personally capture soul beasts.
The main reason for bringing everyone along was that more people meant more power and a faster search. Although these spirit beasts weren't rare, finding them was like finding a needle in a haystack.
After learning about this characteristic of the soul beast, Wu Heyi couldn't help but feel uneasy again, worried that his assessment might be wrong once more.
If that's the case, it would be extremely embarrassing, since no titled Douluo would want their descendants to be treated like guinea pigs.
An occasional misjudgment might be forgivable, but if errors occur every time, it inevitably raises suspicions that something fishy is going on.
Led by Dugu Bo, the group quickly arrived at the territory of the Mirror Image Poisonous Python.
Because each of these soul beasts increases its appetite exponentially after reaching a thousand years of cultivation, it is almost impossible to find one of these "guys" on half a mountain. Their territorial instincts are exceptionally strong, ultimately because they are afraid of having their food stolen by their own kind.
Looking at the lush, green hills that resembled a green ocean, Wu Heyi was surprised to find that the hills were covered with wild strawberries, and they were the kind that were non-toxic and edible.
These snakeberries were much larger than the edible ones he had seen before his transmigration; each one was almost the size of a unicorn melon.
Each one is round and plump, like a finely crafted work of art, as if someone had carefully planted it here.
Wu Heyi couldn't resist any longer, so he reached out and plucked one, carefully put it in his mouth, and took a small sip.
The juicy snakeberries, with their overflowing juice, are sweet and delicious, giving people an incredibly satisfying and wonderful feeling.
After finishing one in a few bites, Wu Heyi still felt unsatisfied.
At this moment, Wu Heyi felt a sense of guilt. He looked around furtively and found that the others were still searching for traces of the soul beasts and no one had noticed him.
He found another ripe strawberry among the many wild strawberries. This strawberry was twice the size of the one he had just eaten. It was purplish-red all over, like a dazzling gemstone, and looked extremely tempting.
However, the fruit was quite tall, and with Wu Heyi being less than 1.6 meters tall, it was indeed difficult for him to pick it.
Fortunately, there was a smooth, large rock nearby, which Wu Heyi stepped on and was able to reach the fruit. After picking the fruit, he sat down on the rock with satisfaction, ready to savor it.
However, at that moment, a snake's tongue the size of a palm appeared before Wu Heyi's eyes like lightning.
Wu He was stunned for a moment. After a full two seconds, he seemed to wake up from a dream. He was so startled that before he could react, he was sent flying into the air like a kite with a broken string.
"Oh my god, do I have to be so unlucky?!"
Wu Heyi was terrified and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Although this snake is not a carnivorous spirit beast and usually lives by eating berries, it does not mean that it has no interest in meat at all.
Occasionally, one or two rodent-like spirit beasts will appear, and when the mood strikes, it will indulge in a meal.
At this moment, the Mirror Image Poisonous Python, which was originally immersed in its dream, was suddenly awakened, most likely because Wu Heyi had taken away the fruit that it regarded as a treasure.
No matter who it is, if your favorite food, which you have carefully prepared and is ready to enjoy, is suddenly taken away, you would be furious.
More importantly, Wu Heyi actually stood on top of the other person's head and brazenly picked their favorite fruit.
Upon hearing Wu Heyi's shout, the others instantly snapped back to reality. They realized that Wu Heyi had discovered the soul beast, but they couldn't understand why the usually timid and docile giant python would be provoked by Wu Heyi.
The three saw dust billowing all over the mountains and rushing toward them at lightning speed. Soon, they saw Wu Heyi leading the way.
The Mirror Image Poisonous Python that was relentlessly pursuing him was now flushed red. Its body, which was originally as transparent as crystal, was now dyed a bright red, as if it had been ignited by flames.
"Stop chasing me, it's just one fruit you picked."
Perhaps because of the dust, although they could see Wu He opening his mouth and saying something, they couldn't hear anything.
At this moment, Wu Heyi tossed the fruit in his hand, and the giant python's gaze followed it. In the blink of an eye, Wu Heyi escaped the predicament of being chased.
The fruit traced a graceful parabola through the air and landed steadily in Dugu Yan's hand.
The giant red snake instantly turned even redder. It saw Dugu Yan and the other two. In its eyes, these three creatures, which were only the size of rats, dared to provoke it one after another.
It's like a snake that doesn't show its power, making you think it's a sick snake.
Just as the Mirror Image Poisonous Python opened its blood-red maw, preparing to exhale, Dugu Bo and Dean Sen exchanged a glance.
In the blink of an eye, Dugu Bo unleashed a powerful punch like a hammer, striking the Mirror Image Poisonous Python's head directly. The python instantly fainted.
It didn't even have a chance to release its poison; before it could even be frightened, it collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, unable to get up.
Wu Heyi was very curious: how come Dugu Bo's seemingly powerful punch didn't kill the snake?
Then, he saw the green light flashing in Dean Sen's hand and immediately realized what was going on.
Seeing the giant snake fall to the ground, Dugu Yan drew her dagger like a skilled hunter, ready to deliver a fatal blow, when a stone flew like a meteor and knocked the dagger from her hand.
And then, a loud shout rang out like a thunderclap.
"Wait a moment!"
