Chapter 118: Yu Xiaogang's Crumbling Mentality, The Perfect "Fit" for Tang San's Snake-type Soul Beast!
Fate Interference!
Hidden within the Mirage Dragon energy, Lin Yu smirked and instantly activated his External Soul Bone: Three-Eyed Golden Lion Vertical Eye's second soul skill.
In an instant, the golden-red vertical pupil at Lin Yu's forehead flashed, and an invisible force instantly affected Yu Xiaogang, who was walking energetically through the forest.
After being influenced by the Fate Interference soul skill, Yu Xiaogang, who had been full of vigor, suddenly halted both his steps and speech, feeling a bit dazed in his mind.
What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel so dizzy?
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang stop and no longer continue explaining soul beast knowledge, Tang San couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"It's nothing."
Hearing Tang San's question, despite feeling a bit dizzy in his mind, Yu Xiaogang patted his head and immediately regained his usual confident expression. He then asked, "Where were we?"
"We were talking about why my Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul needs to absorb the soul ring of a poisonous snake-type soul beast," Tang San reminded him.
"Right. The reason you need to absorb the soul ring of a poisonous snake is because your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is too weak in terms of resilience."
"Even if you absorb a beast-type soul beast ring, it can't compare to some powerful plant-type Martial Souls like the Sky Blue Vine, or whip-type weapon souls and spider-type beast souls from control-type Martial Souls."
"To make up for this, your Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul needs to absorb some poison. Although some plant-type soul beasts also possess venom, they don't compare to some of the venomous beasts."
"While some spider-type beast souls can help, their resilience doesn't match that of snake-type soul beasts, as snakes excel at winding and strangling, whereas spiders rely on webs for control."
"So the best fit for you is a venomous snake-type soul beast, like the Mandala Snake, Black Jade Cobra, Golden Ringed Tree Viper, and so on!"
Regaining his composure, Yu Xiaogang continued explaining in a deep voice.
"Compared to spider-type soul beasts, there are far more venomous snakes in the soul beast forest."
"Now that we are at the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, we should be able to find a suitable hundred-year-old venomous snake soul beast for you soon."
With that, Yu Xiaogang, accompanied by Tang San and under the protection of Tang Hao, started searching for a venomous snake soul beast for Tang San.
Based on Yu Xiaogang's experience, snake-type soul beasts were quite common, and most of them were venomous, so he expected to find one soon.
However, the reality was starting to frustrate him.
The trio had entered the Star Dou Forest in the morning, reaching its outer area just before noon, and started searching for a soul beast for Tang San.
But despite being in the Star Dou Forest, where venomous snakes should be easy to find, they hadn't encountered any by the evening.
"Teacher, are venomous snake-type soul beasts really that common in the Star Dou Forest?"
After searching all afternoon without finding a single venomous snake-type soul beast, Tang San couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, there are many! It's written in every book about soul beasts. Maybe we're just having bad luck today. We'll keep looking tomorrow."
Hearing Tang San's doubts, Yu Xiaogang felt his pride hurt and awkwardly responded.
As a disciple, Tang San had already seen in the live stream that Yu Xiaogang would cultivate him into a god in the future.
But now, over something as trivial as bad luck, he was questioning him.
"Keep looking?"
From a distance, hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Lin Yu couldn't help but smile, his face full of amusement.
The effect of the Fate Interference soul skill from his External Soul Bone: Three-Eyed Golden Lion Vertical Eye wasn't limited to just one day. It could last for several days depending on how it was used.
Since Yu Xiaogang's current goal was to help Tang San hunt his second soul ring, the effect of the Fate Interference skill was likely influencing that goal.
Right now, it was just making it so the trio couldn't find the target soul beasts, but this effect would likely last for several more days!
As Lin Yu had predicted, Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Tang Hao continued searching for a hundred-year-old venomous snake-type soul beast.
But along the way, either they couldn't find any soul beasts, or they encountered snakes that weren't venomous, or ones with a cultivation age under a hundred years, or venomous snakes that were over a thousand or even ten thousand years old.
This situation continued for three days, and Yu Xiaogang was starting to lose his composure.
Finally, on the fourth day, as the sky darkened...
In a dim part of the forest, on a large dark stone, Yu Xiaogang spotted a snake-type soul beast about five or six meters long, coiled up on it.
This snake, entirely dark green with golden rings spiraling along its body, had a triangular head, crimson vertical pupils, and a tail similar to that of a rattlesnake, though it appeared to have been bitten off.
"This is a nearly six-hundred-year-old Golden Ringed Rattlesnake, it's highly venomous! Tang Hao, quickly catch it! This is the perfect soul beast for Tang San!"
After spotting the Golden Ringed Rattlesnake on the stone, and having not found a suitable venomous snake in three days, Yu Xiaogang was instantly excited and told Tang Hao to catch it.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang Hao immediately moved and rushed towards the snake.
But at that moment...
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Yu saw this scene and almost burst into laughter.
Because this snake, which looked like a Golden Ringed Rattlesnake, wasn't actually one.
It reminded him of two types of snakes from his past life: the White Ringed Snake and the Silver Ringed Snake. They looked similar, but the former was non-venomous while the latter was highly venomous.
This "Golden Ringed Rattlesnake" had golden rings on its body, but the rings were uneven and didn't extend to its tail.
So, this wasn't a Golden Ringed Rattlesnake at all. It was a soul beast called the Imitation Golden Ringed Fart Snake!
At the end of its tail, where it resembled the rattle of a Golden Ringed Rattlesnake, there was actually a sac filled with special substances inside.
When this snake encountered an enemy, it would mix two liquid substances in its body and release them through its tail as highly toxic gas by farting at the enemy!
Now, Yu Xiaogang had mistaken two types of snakes.
Once Tang San absorbed the soul ring of this Imitation Golden Ringed Fart Snake, if he found that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul still lacked venom and that his second soul skill turned out to be farting, he'd probably lose it!
But if both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's Martial Souls ended up having farting abilities, that would certainly be a hilarious match!
