49: Second Soul Ring, Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion
At the end of the prairie, near the edge of the Far North.
Dugu Feng sat cross-legged beside a pond. The emerald green diamond-shaped scales on his forehead were very dazzling, and he exuded the aura of a green phosphorus snake.
Next to him, two nine-section jades stretched out their bodies, lying there lazily.
He has been sitting cross-legged and practicing for two hours.
He seemed not to be alert at all, but in fact his mind was completely focused on the sky.
After a while, Dugu Feng's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, he's here!"
How could the scent of three snakes fail to attract the Snake King Vulture?
This snake king eagle has a wingspan of over four meters and is a soul beast that is over four thousand years old.
"Breakfast is here, get to work!"
Dugu Feng's idea of eating breakfast was the same as the Snake King Vulture's. He found two snakes and a snake-like biped, so he would definitely be able to eat his fill.
This four thousand year old snake king vulture had brown light flowing on its long legs. It let out a sharp cry and dived down with its entire body.
"Closer, closer!"
The Snake King Vulture increased its speed again, flapping its wings upwards and then downwards.
The weight of its entire body was pressed on its sharp claws, and it actually wanted to crush Dugu Feng to death in one go.
This is the usual move of the Snake King Vulture. Its long legs are covered with brown scales, which are very strong. In addition, its claws are sharp. When it falls from a high altitude, it is like a sword, with amazing attack power.
But then, it saw the two-legged beast stretch out its hands, emitting purple light.
The other two little snakes also soared into the sky.
There was actually some disdain in the Snake King Vulture's emotionless eyes.
These prey always have to struggle before they die.
If it moved its nimble body a bit faster, all these attacks would have missed.
This is an experience it has gained from countless hunting trips.
But this time, the snake king vulture miscalculated and met a real hunter.
Dugu Feng only used four of the Twelve Green Phosphorus Fingers, two of which were emitted from his thumb. They had the power to shatter gold and split stone, but were easily avoided by the Snake King Vulture.
The other two looked inconspicuous, but their shapes were floating. Even though the Snake King Eagle's body was a little faster, they still shot into its eyes accurately.
Then, two small snakes that it didn't like landed on the wings of the Snake King Vulture as fast as lightning and bit the flesh under the feathers fiercely.
Possessed by the poison of the King Serpent Vulture, it instinctively fluttered its wings, trying to fly again.
But it only flew a few hundred meters before falling to the ground with a bang.
"Haha, another one!"
Dugu Feng smiled happily.
He has made great progress from struggling at the beginning to being able to easily defeat the Snake King Vulture with one move now.
It only takes one-tenth of a blink of an eye to release the purple phosphorus poison, which is really too fast.
And it was too flexible, making it almost impossible for the Snake King Vulture to dodge.
"Congratulations, young master. You have mastered the second stage of the Jade Phosphorus Purple Poison.
You can start trying the third stage, when any hair on your body can emit toxins silently!"
The old scorpion crawled out from the ground, laughing happily.
"Okay, Old Scorpion, I'll treat you to some roasted eagle wings this time. After you finish eating, we'll set off and prepare to absorb the second spirit ring!"
Dugu Feng said excitedly.
At this time, nearly a year had passed since he first set foot on this grassland.
The soul power level smoothly reached level 20, and the only thing missing was the second soul ring.
"No problem, let me show you my craftsmanship!"
When it comes to food, Lao Xie is definitely the one he and he have the most common topics with.
This year on the grassland, there was everything from frying, grilling, to hot pot. Although they were in the wild, the old scorpion was also very particular, completely different from the old snake.
The old scorpion took out a short knife and started to deal with the snake king vulture in no time.
Dugu Feng did not waste any time and felt the two elixir beads in his body. The energy had increased to 36%, from the 25% just after the evolution to 36%.
The improvement is very slow, less than a little bit per month.
This was raised by him, his two nine-section jades, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.
The quality of the Danzhu after evolution is too high.
At this rate, it will take more than five years to evolve into eight again.
Five years, that's very slow.
But thinking about the various magical powers and wonderful uses of the Danzhu, Dugu Feng felt relieved.
This is a real treasure.
The last time he sped up his speed it was because of the domineering poison. Normally, even if everything went well, he would have to become a Soul King before he could use the domineering poison.
However, when he was cultivating as a soul master, he took advantage of the opportunity of his father using the poison to improve himself greatly.
Then other rare treasures may be able to speed up the evolution of the elixir beads.
I still need to try more. Dugu Feng seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, a smell of meat wafted through the air. Dugu Feng directly tore off a large wing bone. The wing bone meat, grilled under high temperature, had a golden and tender surface.
A few drops of grease dripped onto the grass, sizzling and emitting a spicy smell.
It has to be an old scorpion!
Dugu Feng sighed and started eating.
Even though the eagle wings are nearly four meters long, in the mouths of Dugu Feng and Lao Xie, they are just the amount for one meal.
With Danzhu, he needed energy badly.
After a year, the eight-year-old him was no different from the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys on Blue Star. The soul masters on Douluo Continent generally grew fast.
The body is still growing, so it naturally needs more energy.
The bones, meridians and blood throughout the body that had been strengthened by the Danzhu were like big mouths of gluttons, constantly devouring the meat that entered the stomach, emitting traces of heat, making Dugu Feng feel that his body was getting stronger every moment.
Soon the two of them finished eating the eagle wings and other parts of the snake king eagle. They put all the meat into the soul guide and took them out to eat when they were hungry.
Then I couldn't wait to set off.
The two of them were moving very fast this time.
Dugu Feng had to concentrate his spiritual power throughout the whole process in order to keep up with Old Sie's pace.
After a few days, Dugu Feng was surprised to find that the river he passed by was already frozen.
Even the tops of the mountains are covered with snow.
They were approaching the Far North.
Dugu Feng did not feel any discomfort due to the cold air, but his martial spirit became active instead.
The soul power in the body flows throughout the body, resisting the severe cold.
Dugu Feng is full of fighting spirit.
Finally, the two came to a mountain.
The top of the mountain range cannot be seen at a glance, and looking up, it is all white snow and frost.
"There are soul beasts of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan on this mountain. The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion you chose, young master, is the emperor of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan. It has a special bloodline and rarely appears.
But I, Old Scorpion, am here. No matter where it hides, I will find it for you, Young Master!"
The old scorpion said with some pride.
Dugu Feng nodded. He would rather have nothing than have something of poor quality. Even if it took some time, he would find the most suitable and powerful soul beast.
Dugu Feng was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and the old scorpion turned into a shadow and disappeared on the ice.
Ice scorpions usually live in glaciers or ice caves and have a very strong cold poison.
It is not as easy to find as the soul beasts in the Sunset Forest.
