Chapter 100: Tang San’s Third Soul Ring
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 07:11:01 +0000 UTC"Xiao Yu, right? Thank you for the herb. If you ever need help in the future, I’ll do my best to assist you, as long as it doesn’t violate the forest’s order!"
Having taken something from someone else, Er Ming couldn’t help but feel a sense of indebtedness.
Thus, he spoke these words.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu, who was in Xiao Yu’s arms, felt a bitter laugh of despair in her heart.
"Er Ming, Er Ming, have you forgotten that your injuries were caused by these people in the first place?! Now that they’ve treated you, you’re actually grateful to them?!"
Given the situation, Xiao Wu couldn’t point this out and could only suffer inwardly.
"Funny you should mention it, Er Ming. I do have a request. I wonder if you could help?"
Since Er Ming had offered, Xiao Yu immediately seized the opportunity to voice his idea.
"Go ahead."
"Er Ming, though it’s hard to say, I’d like to ask if there are any venomous snakes or highly toxic spirit beasts in this area that harm the forest’s natural environment?
My servant, Meng Yiran, is still missing a thousand-year soul ring to advance to Soul Elder. So, I’d like to hunt a soul ring for her. But I know that randomly hunting spirit beasts could disrupt the forest’s balance. That’s why I’m asking if there are any thousand-year spirit beasts in this area with a bad reputation, ones that are harmful to the forest. After all, Xiao Wu is here, and I don’t want to hunt good spirit beasts recklessly. Don’t you agree, Er Ming?"
Xiao Yu spoke.
"Only hunt bad spirit beasts, not good ones?!"
Hearing these familiar words, Er Ming pondered for a moment.
Xiao Wu had said something similar before...
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu’s face turned pale.
Why did these words sound so strange coming from Xiao Yu’s mouth?
They felt completely different from when Brother San said them.
Hearing this, Dugu Bo and the others also felt something was off.
Why did this sound reasonable at first but felt weird upon closer thought?
Could spirit beasts really be divided into good and bad?
And would the Titan Giant Ape really let them hunt spirit beasts so easily?
Weren’t they his kin?
"There are. Follow me, I’ll take you there!"
After a brief moment of thought, Er Ming nodded in agreement.
Then he led the way.
Xiao Wu had said before that they only hunted bad spirit beasts and didn’t harm the good ones, so they shouldn’t stop them.
Since Xiao Wu had said it, it must be correct.
Thus, Er Ming readily agreed to Xiao Yu’s request and even offered to lead the way.
In that moment, everyone was stunned.
Holy crap, this actually worked?!
Having the forest’s overlord lead you to hunt spirit beasts?!
Then, in a daze, everyone followed the Titan Giant Ape.
"Tsk tsk, this might be the easiest spirit beast hunt I’ve ever experienced in my life."
Looking at the Titan Giant Ape leading the way, Dugu Bo muttered.
Sword Douluo also nodded in agreement.
This method of hunting spirit beasts was truly unheard of.
What exactly had Xiao Yu done to make a 100,000-year spirit beast willingly lead them to hunt its own kind?
Even now, Sword Douluo couldn’t believe it.
Meanwhile, Yu Luomian, who was equally stunned, led Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Meng Yiran as they hurried to catch up with Sword Douluo and the others.
"..."
"Little San, judging by the corroded trees here, it seems there’s a spirit beast that’s perfect for you. I just don’t know its age..."
In an area filled with black and purple hues, Master looked at the trees and leaves corroded by poison, as well as the tangled spider webs everywhere.
He already had an idea of the spirit beast here.
Then he turned to Tang San, intending to test him.
"Teacher, could this be the Death Spider you mentioned?"
After carefully observing the corroded forest and the deathly aura of the environment, Tang San asked after some thought.
Seeing Tang San guess correctly, Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction.
"Correct, it’s the Death Spider. Little San, it seems you’ve memorized my theories well. That’s good."
Receiving his teacher’s praise, Tang San nodded happily.
But a trace of sadness flashed in Yu Xiaogang’s eyes.
After all, seeing the Death Spider reminded him of that person’s Death Spider Emperor.
However, the sadness in Yu Xiaogang’s eyes quickly turned to anger.
"Bibi Dong, you heartlessly abandoned me back then. Just wait until I’ve trained Little San into a Title Douluo. I’ll make you see just how wrong you were!"
With this determination, the group continued deeper into the forest.
Soon, as they ventured further, they saw more and more withered trees.
The once lush grass, taller than a person, had been corroded, leaving only a layer of black, toxic soil.
Seeing the dense poison on the ground, everyone’s expressions turned serious.
As expected of the Death Spider, whose toxicity surpassed even the Man-Faced Demon Spider.
Its poison was truly formidable.
Before long, after walking a bit further, they saw a Death Spider perched on a thick tree, devouring a thick, long Millennium Nether Python that was on the verge of death!
"That’s... a thousand-year Nether Python. Such a spirit beast is being eaten by it..."
Seeing that the Nether Python, which could have been his third soul ring, was being eaten by this Death Spider of similar age, Tang San grew even more excited.
If he could absorb its soul ring, his combat abilities would surely reach new heights.
He believed the gap between him and Xiao Yu would quickly narrow.
"Judging by the length of its spider legs, it shouldn’t be over two thousand years old. And it managed to kill a thousand-year Nether Python. Little San, this spirit beast is perfect for you!"
After a careful look, Yu Xiaogang’s face lit up with excitement.
Originally, Yu Xiaogang had planned for Tang San’s third soul ring to be from a Man-Faced Demon Spider.
But unexpectedly, they had stumbled upon a Death Spider, which was even stronger.
"Flander, I’ll leave the rest to you."
After his excitement, Yu Xiaogang turned to Flander and spoke.
"Alright, no problem! You all go ahead. I’ll deal with it and then bring it to you!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly.
Then he led Tang San and Oscar away from the area.
The poison here was too concentrated.
If they accidentally touched even a bit, it would be hard to clean off.
