Is this really okay? Tang San wanted to smile, but seeing the bitterness in his teacher’s eyes, he dared not laugh out loud. He could imagine just how embarrassing it must be to have a Martial Soul that used farts as the method of attack among Soul Masters. And with Master’s proud character, how could his heart not be in pain?
“Lolo, lolo, lolo…” A series of urgent calls suddenly rose, and the bitterness in Master’s eyes was immediately replaced by a cold light as he grabbed Tang San’s hand.
Silence descended abruptly all around, and the sound of rustling clearly reached Tang San’s ears. Faintly, the air seemed to be filled with a trace of a fishy scent that was not strong, even carrying a hint of sweetness and the aroma of tea.
Tang San twitched his nose and blurted out subconsciously, “There’s something poisonous.”
Master waved his right hand quickly, and this time he put both of his glowing rings onto Luo San Pao, cautiously looking towards the direction the rustling sound was coming from, “How come it’s so unrestful tonight.”
The rustling stopped, and Tang San invoked the Mysterious Heaven Method, pushing his Purple Demon Eyes to the limit as he looked in the direction of the sound. Vaguely, he seemed to see a dark green triangular snakehead standing erect in the bushes, a pair of ruby-like little eyes staring in their direction. Perhaps intimidated by the effects of realgar powder, it did not continue to approach.
“Teacher, over there.” Tang San pointed in the direction where the snakehead was raised. At this time, Master did not have time to wonder how Tang San could see something he could not. He quickly took out a fire starter from his wrist soul tool and threw it in that direction.
Sparked by the wind, the firestarter tumbled and lit up that area. Now, Master also saw the snakehead. He inhaled sharply, “It’s a Datura snake, how can such a ferocious creature appear on the periphery of the hunting soul forest. I hope it’s a ten-year one.”
“Sisi, sisi,” as if aggravated by the fire starter, the snakehead slowly rose, emitting a hissing sound towards Luo San Pao. But the deterrent power of the realgar powder was still there, and ultimately it did not advance.
Master said in a deep voice, “The Datura snake’s poison is extremely potent, not only paralyzing but also highly destructive to the body’s nerves. It is one of the most terrifying existences among poisonous soul beasts. Its body is extremely tough, immune to regular swords, and only the mouth and eyes are its weaknesses. However, the Datura snake protects these two spots very well, and its speed is incredibly fast. The most fearsome thing is its aggressiveness. When encountering humans, it almost always attacks. The realgar powder may not restrain it for long; it’s waiting for an opportunity.”
Tang San did not feel fear due to Master’s introduction. In his previous life in the Tang Sect of Bashu, there were many types of snakes in Bashu. Although there was no Datura snake, Tang San was not lacking in experience in dealing with snakes. From this snake’s pointed head, he could make out its extreme toxicity, and the stoutness at its neck also showed that its weakness was not at the ‘Seven Inches.’ It was just unknown what kind of attack method this soul-powered snake employed.
Master pulled Tang San behind him, “Xiaosan, I’m going to teach you a principle now. Many rings, many bones, one wave of power; few rings, few bones, better start to dash. Here ‘rings’ refer to Soul Rings, and ‘bones’ to Soul Bones. I will explain Soul Bones to you later. This means that when the number of your Soul Rings and Soul Bones is clearly more than that of your opponent, you must launch a full attack with your soul skills and soul power to completely crush the enemy. When your Soul Rings and Soul Bones are clearly fewer than your opponent’s, don’t hesitate, just run. Preserving your life is the most important. Face is never as valuable as life. If this Datura snake is a ten-year soul beast, we might still be able to fight it. If it’s a hundred-year one, flee immediately.”
Thunderous as lightning, booming as splitting the earth, Luo San Pao. After finishing these instructions, Master immediately ordered Luo San Pao to launch an attack.
The yellow ring shone again, and Luo San Pao leaped up in a frenzy of inhaling. Although he had eaten Daikon Radish, the attack he had used on the Hell Wolf before had not yet recovered, and at this moment, he only had the strength for two attacks.
Amidst the thunderous roar, Luo San Pao’s super Thunderous Fart surged out in a powerful blast. Even though the Datura snake was fast, Luo San Pao’s attack was area of effect, making it impossible for it to escape.
A huge snake body was flung into the air from the ground and tossed far away.
“Run quickly.” Master had no plans upon seeing the flung Datura snake. The cultivation age of a Datura snake was related to its body size. Before evolving into a thousand-year soul beast, each additional year of cultivation would add one centimeter to its body length. The body length of this Sandalwood snake that had been flung clearly exceeded three meters, nearing four meters, meaning its cultivation was close to four hundred years. Master did not believe he could contend with such a soul beast at his level 29 Grand Soul Master strength, especially since his Martial Soul was not strong.
Gua gua, a mournful sound came, and Tang San glanced back while being pulled by Master. The Datura snake that had been thrown by Luo San Pao appeared unharmed, immediately bouncing upon landing, shooting towards them. Its whip-like body made contact with the ground and sprang up like a spring each time, closing the distance to him and Master at an alarming speed.
Luo San Pao ran quite fast, following closely beside Master and Tang San, with panic filling his large eyes.
“Like smoke from a fart, hypnotizing and putting to sleep Luo San Pao.” Master unleashed his big move, and Luo San Pao circled in the air, then with a puff, a cloud of yellow gas sprayed out from his chubby rear, filling the air.
Master’s two soul rings could add the effects of Thunderous Fart and Hypnosis to Luo San Pao’s abilities. At this moment, both had been completely utilized.
