Chapter 50 Idiot! Go study more theoretical knowledge!
Wow, is it that serious?
Mo Xuewei looked at the situation below and asked curiously, "Your Highness, can't they sense our presence? Why aren't they making any noise?"
Qian Renxue said, "Because the Thousand-Eyed Black Serpent has a very narrow field of vision, but excellent eyesight. It relies on the eyes on its head to determine direction. To be precise, each of its eyes has a different field of vision, so there are no blind spots. Even so, its sensory abilities are very poor. As long as you don't move openly within its perception range, you won't be detected."
"Oh, I see!" Mo Xuewei nodded. "I've learned something."
"So, are we just going to stay here and watch, or does Your Highness intend to dissect the snake and get its gall bladder?"
Mo Xuewei looked at Qian Renxue. She didn't think Qian Renxue would want this snake as her soul ring. Since the black snake gall was mentioned, she probably planned to dissect the snake and get the gall.
One of them has already reached the Soul Saint level, and the other is about to. Dealing with this 30,000-year-old soul beast shouldn't be a problem. However, Mo Xuewei herself has no combat experience and doesn't know some of Qian Renxue's moves. In short, she might only be considered half a Soul Saint, barely able to fight the small snakes guarding the 30,000-year-old snake.
A breeze stirred, rustling softly. Qian Renxue and Mo Xuewei exchanged a glance, then raised an eyebrow and said, "Black snake gall is very rare, hard to come by. Now that we've encountered it, wouldn't it be a bit unreasonable not to take it?"
"That does seem a bit unreasonable," Mo Xuewei agreed, smiling slightly. "Your Highness, shall we make the first move while it's still defenseless?"
"You handle the outer perimeter matters; I'll take care of dissecting the snakes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qian Renxue jumped down. She instantly released her soul power, and seven fully equipped soul rings rose up beneath her feet. Behind her, a blood-red swan appeared. The swan's feathers were a gradient of red and white, its beak was golden, and it had two pairs of blood-red wings on its back. The flapping of its wings brought up gusts of wind and was filled with a strong sense of oppression.
This is Mo Xuewei's martial soul, the Crimson Swan.
Although it might be mistaken for a beast spirit, in reality, even when the spirit is released, its physical characteristics will not appear on the spirit master who possesses it. It will only be summoned when such a spirit master releases their spirit power, following them around and emitting a strong sense of oppression towards the people or things around them.
This sense of oppression is indiscriminate; even those who consider themselves one of their own will be affected.
For example, Mo Xuewei now.
Mo Xuewei's mouth dropped open. This was the first time she had ever seen her own martial spirit. It was so cool! She loved it!
There's a strange feeling of pressure in the air.
The oppressive aura emanating from the crimson swan undoubtedly affected the Thousand-Eyed Black Serpent, which was devouring other soul beasts. The other soul beasts gathered around it also looked at Qian Renxue. Without hesitation, they leaped up, opened their mouths and roared, and streaks of black shadows rushed out of the serpent's mouth.
The black snake was incredibly fast, lunging towards Qian Renxue with its gaping maw wide open!
Mo Xuewei leaped down from the tree, releasing her soul power and stepping on the black snakes. A sword appeared in her hand, and after a few swings, she cut the black snakes that were rushing towards Qian Renxue in half.
These black snakes are all around a thousand years old, and their scales are not very hard. To strike a snake, you must hit its vital spot. Mo Xuewei knew exactly where to aim her sword. With one strike, she believed that the black snakes would die, with no chance of survival.
"Your Highness, I'm pretty handsome, aren't I!" Mo Xuewei blew on the sword in her hand and grinned as she tried to curry favor with Qian Renxue.
But at this moment, Qian Renxue's expression wasn't good. She frowned, and in a flash, she appeared in front of Mo Xuewei. "Idiot, whether he's handsome or not is another matter. You should study more about the theoretical knowledge of soul beasts!"
Mo Xuewei sensed something was wrong and was about to say something when Qian Renxue pulled her aside and pushed her away.
Her eyes widened: "Your Highness!"
Behind where Mo Xuewei had just stood, hundreds upon hundreds of tiny snakes suddenly appeared on the ground. These snakes wriggled on the ground like maggots, their mouths open, their tongues flicking at Qian Renxue, as if ready to attack at any moment. Mo Xuewei then realized that the snake corpses she had just severed were gone!
"Waaah—"
The 30,000-year-old, ten-thousand-eyed black serpent coiling on the ground emitted a series of hisses. Qian Renxue and Mo Xuewei felt a shiver run through their bodies. Qian Renxue realized something was wrong and immediately flew up, calling out to Mo Xuewei, "Xuewei, come up quickly!"
Mo Xuewei nodded and flew up as well.
The situation on the ground was already quite appalling. The small snakes all swarmed towards the large snake, occupying the road for miles around. The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of snakes hissing, which sounded very immature.
Mo Xuewei suffers from trypophobia. The sight of this place instantly gave her goosebumps. She shuddered, quickly averting her gaze, and asked, "Your Highness, what's going on? Why are there so many tiny snakes all of a sudden?"
They had sensed the surrounding area before coming down and confirmed that no other soul beasts were approaching before they planned to finish the battle quickly. But now, the situation was clearly not right!
Mo Xuewei was completely baffled.
Qian Renxue replied, "It's their racial skill, Split."
"Split?" Mo Xuewei was taken aback. "But they're already dead, so why can they split?"
She was certain that she had struck at the vital spot; logically speaking, the enemy was already dead, so how could they split apart?
This thing isn't an earthworm.
But Qian Renxue said, "It's just a life-saving trick of the Thousand-Eyed Black Serpent. Xuewei, it seems you'll have to brush up on your theoretical knowledge when you get back this time."
Mo Xuewei: "..."
Okay, it was her oversight, or perhaps she was illiterate; she simply treated the spirit beasts here as normal animals.
Seeing that Qian Renxue hadn't made a move, Mo Xuewei couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what are you considering?"
The two of them flew through the air, and the snakes below could not attack them; they could only flick their tongues at them.
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes and said, "These things are not a threat to us, but if we don't kill them in one blow, they will split into more of their kind. These tiny kind will parasitize other soul beasts, causing them to die. This will have a certain impact on the overall ecological balance. I need to think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Moreover, this 30,000-year-old Thousand-Eyed Black Serpent is about to devour that soul beast. We need to finish this quickly."
Mo Xuewei nodded. "That's easy! Your Highness, you should have said so earlier!"
Qian Renxue looked at her: "You have a way?"
"Yes!" Mo Xuewei, who had just made a "mistake," patted her chest and said confidently, "Your Highness, go to the system shop and get a jar of realgar wine. Then sprinkle the realgar wine on them, and they'll be completely obedient. Then light a fire, and you can burn them all!"
