Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 121 Inviting the Dragon King and Snake Queen

Just as Long Gong and Zhao Wuji finished their argument, Meng Yiran also finished absorbing her soul ring and stood up.

This spirit ring was absorbed rather easily, after all, its age was far from reaching the limit of the third ring, and the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was not a Mandragora Serpent, so its aggression was very weak, which also made the power in its spirit ring very gentle.

"Hey!" Meng Yiran had just opened her eyes when she raised her snake staff and thrust it at Tang San. Her third spirit ring flashed, and her speed was incredibly fast. Even Tang San was a step too slow to react and was almost hit by the snake staff.

But just as he managed to dodge using the Ghostly Shadow Approach, another force exploded around him, blasting him into a dusty mess.

In fact, Meng Yiran did not intend to hurt him. Even though Tang San could not dodge, she held back at the last moment.

The attack was a deliberate show of force; Tang San only got a dirty face and wasn't injured.

It seems she received a speed-type move, probably the thrust attack from earlier, which appears to have a second attack effect, even Tang San was caught off guard and was hit.

"Hey, what are you doing? Didn't you get the spirit ring? Why are you attacking my brother?" Xiao Wu said angrily.

"Hmph, I'm just thanking this guy. If he weren't such a good-for-nothing, I wouldn't have gotten such a good spirit ring." Meng Yiran laughed. She had heard Tang San and Zhao Wuji's disrespectful words to the Dragon Lord earlier.

These people, they lost, but they still mocked her grandfather. They can't stand losing. Her grandfather is a respected man and doesn't want to bully the weak, but she is his sweet little girl, so she has to stand up for him.

And she was just bluffing; she didn't actually hurt anyone.

"Miss Meng, what a beautiful attack! It seems you have inherited the two major characteristics of speed and storage from the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent," Nan Feihuang said.

The crested serpent has three main characteristics: flight, high speed, and the nutrients stored in its crest. These nutrients can restore its strength at any time, allowing it to launch a two-stage attack or escape.

Oscar's original spirit rings granted him the abilities of flight and high speed.

Meng Yiran did not inherit flight, but she gained high speed and storage. Her two-stage attack, the first of which is a high-speed thrust at the speed of a crested serpent. Even if the opponent dodges, the venom stored in the serpent staff will suddenly explode. This attack is very easy to catch the opponent off guard.

"Young man, you have a good eye. May I ask your name?" Meng Yiran asked, bowing slightly.

Nan Feihuang chuckled. "Little brother? Hehe, I'm not older than you. I am Nan Feihuang, and I have long admired the two seniors, the Dragon Duke and the Snake Lady."

"Nan Feihuang? You are General Nan Feihuang!" Long Gong was shocked. Fortunately, he hadn't gotten angry and attacked because of Zhao Wuji. The General was actually here. If he was in cahoots with Zhao Wuji, then he really couldn't afford to mess with him.

There are two Title Douluo behind him.

"I never expected that you would know me, senior. I am truly honored," Nan Feihuang said. "Senior, it is a rare opportunity to meet you today. I would like to invite you, on behalf of my mother, to visit my Kingdom of Gulei if you have the time. This is something my mother specifically asked me to do."

He was quite interested in the Dragon Lord and Snake Lady. The Dragon Lord was a high-level Soul Douluo. Although the original work did not mention his exact level, based on rumors over the years, it was speculated that he should be above level 85, and had more potential to become a Title Douluo than Jia Chong.

Of the immortal herbs found in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Nan Feihuang has only given them to his family so far, leaving a large portion remaining.

However precious the herb may be, it needs someone to use it to realize its value.

He certainly wouldn't overlook those loyal to his country, such as Jia Chong and Zhang Lao, and had already made preparations.

This Dragon Lord and his family have not joined any faction, and their location is right on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Ancient Lei Kingdom.

Meng Yiran's Beast Academy is located within the territory of the Kingdom of Gulei. In a sense, her family can be considered half-Gulei citizens.

If given the chance to subdue it, Nan Feihuang would naturally not want to miss it.

"Since it is His Majesty Xuanbing who has invited me, I will pay my respects if I have the time. Alright, Yiran, the Soul Ring has been successfully obtained, we should be going now." Although Long Gong's reply was somewhat perfunctory, it could be considered an agreement. Nan Feihuang knew that he did not care much about the Ancient Lei Kingdom at the moment, but there would always be times when he had to care. At that time, as long as he was given a way out, he would take advantage of today's invitation to come and pay his respects.

Dragon Lord left with Snake Woman and Meng Yiran, and Zhao Wuji, Tang San and the others did not dare to stop them.

Nan Feihuang really wanted to know: without the Dragon Duke, would Tang San and his Human-Faced Demon Spider still have any chance to be together?

In his own eyes, Dugu Bo's underhanded actions were just a minor mishap that caused Tang San to lose face and also inexplicably caused Oscar to lose his third spirit ring.

But in Nan Feihuang's view, this had really messed things up for Tang San.

Meng Yiran has already left the forest, so Long Gong will certainly not go after the human-faced spider. Even if Xiao Wu is captured by the Titan Giant Ape later, he may not be able to encounter her again.

What will happen to his third spirit ring and eight spider spears then?

Nan Feihuang said, "Let's just leave it as is!"

He was happy with it.

Well done, old poisoner!

Having lost the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, they had to search for soul beasts again. Although they had entered the habitat of thousand-year-old soul beasts, finding a suitable soul beast was not so easy.

The two groups walked for a day but did not encounter anyone suitable for any of the five.

In fact, the spirit rings they need are not easy to find.

Oscar needs a more moderate approach, focusing on recovery, treatment, and resource replenishment.

Tang San always kept his teacher's requirements in mind: his spirit rings had to have two major attributes: poison and resilience.

Dugu Yan also needs a poison soul ring, while Yu Tianheng has even higher requirements. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul will reject other types of soul rings, so it must be a dragon species, or at least a sub-dragon.

Nan Feihuang was aiming for the ten-thousand-year soul ring, which is why he wrote a letter to his mother in advance.

He guessed that his mother had already arrived and was most likely with Dugu Bo, secretly protecting them.

As night fell, everyone was tired after a long day of searching and prepared to get some rest.

With two high-level Soul Masters, Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming, around, the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest is not dangerous, and one can sleep peacefully.

Beneath the dense woods, a group of children lay on the ground, all breathing faintly, clearly fast asleep.

Zhao Wuji and Qin Ming sat on the trees not far from the children, keeping watch over them.

But neither of them noticed that a faint green light had quietly arrived at their camp.

"Flying General!"

A sound, sharp and piercing, flew into Nan Feihuang's ears.

Nan Feihuang opened his eyes, uttered a soft sound, and transmitted his words in the same manner, "Old Poisoner, it really is you. What brings you here? Is my mother with you?"
