The Medusa swarm, which had been menacing and preparing to launch a petrification attack, seemed to have had its spine removed the moment this dragon's might descended.
Thump!
Thump!
Hundreds upon hundreds of Medusas, including their leader, had no chance to resist and instantly collapsed to the ground.
They trembled, burying their heads deep in the soil, not daring to look at Dugu Yan even once, and let out terrified cries.
That was surrender and fear that came from the depths of the soul!
The entire valley fell into a deathly silence.
Dugu Bo stared at the exaggerated scene before him, his mouth slightly agape, unable to close it for a long time.
He went through tremendous effort and almost lost his life to subdue that Medusa King back then.
And now...
Senior Yu Nan only released a little bit of his aura, and he wiped out this whole nest?
Is this what they call...bloodline suppression?
Its predecessor, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, had been dormant in this valley for hundreds of years.
Blood vessels suppressed over the years.
This would allow Yunan to easily suppress this group of Medusas.
"A bunch of useless trash."
Yu Nan coldly glanced at the group of Medusas huddled together, then looked away and gazed into the deepest part of the valley:
"Let's go, don't let this trash block our way."
"The thing is at the bottom of that poisonous pool ahead."
In this suffocating silence, the grandfather and grandson stepped over the trembling Medusas scattered on the ground and walked into the depths of the valley as if they were in an empty place.
The further you go in, the stronger the fishy-sweet smell in the air becomes, and even the surrounding rocks are corroded into honeycomb patterns.
Finally, a deep pool about ten feet in diameter appeared before the two of them.
The pool water had an eerie dark green color and was as viscous as paste.
Huge bubbles occasionally emerge from the surface, bursting open and releasing nauseating, multicolored toxic fumes.
This is the "Pool of Ten Thousand Poisons".
Even a Poison Douluo like Dugu Bo couldn't help but frown when he looked at the pool of water.
The toxicity here is so potent that even a Soul Saint would be reduced to pus if he touched a drop.
"It's right down there."
Yu Nan's voice echoed in Dugu Yan's mind, carrying a hint of languid reminiscence:
"Roughly at the center of the bottom of the pool, there is a piece of ten-thousand-year-old black iron essence pressed down."
The item is in the hidden compartment beneath that black iron essence.
In fact, deep in Yu Nan's memory, his impression of these soul bones had become somewhat vague.
After all, its predecessor, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, lived for over 100,000 years.
Over the long years, it has devoured countless soul beasts and seen countless treasures.
Soul bones are extremely precious to human soul masters.
For it back then, it was nothing more than some slightly harder, indigestible "bone scraps".
Or perhaps it's just a shiny little trinket that you casually collected.
If it weren't for this time, it would have been to improve Dugu Yan's strength.
He probably will never remember that there were a few coins buried in this corner.
'I remember... there was one that was an external soul bone?'
Yu Nan muttered to himself in the sea of his mind.
It's been too long, I can't remember clearly.
It seems to have been dropped by a mutated soul beast that I casually killed years ago; its strange shape led me to keep it.
'If she really has an external soul bone, then this girl's luck is incredible.'
External soul bones are treasures.
Moreover, it can evolve as the Soul Master's strength increases.
In the future, upon becoming a god, one could become part of divine equipment or even a divine artifact.
Thinking of this, Yu Nan couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.
"Grandpa, let's get started."
Dugu Yan relayed the story.
Dugu Bo nodded, took a deep breath, and his soul power surged around him.
"Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, appear!"
With a low shout, a huge phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor appeared behind him.
Dugu Bo wasn't foolish enough to jump down directly.
Instead, he manipulated the enormous tail of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, carrying immense soul power, and plunged it into the viscous poisonous pool.
Glug glug—!
The water in the pool churned violently, like a giant beast that had been enraged.
Dugu Bo frowned, and veins bulged on his forehead.
The water in this pool was extremely dense and highly corrosive, making it quite difficult for him to control even with his soul power.
"Found it!"
A moment later, a glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"rise!"
With a roar, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King's tail lashed out of the pool.
It slammed heavily onto the rocks on the shore, carrying a huge iron box covered in thick silt and toxic grime.
Bang!
The earth seemed to tremble.
Although the iron box was corroded and pitted, it could still be vaguely seen that it was made of ancient black iron, and was exceptionally sturdy.
"Turn it on."
Yu Nan said calmly.
Dugu Bo waved his hand and released a burst of soul power, shaking off the mud on the box. Then, he channeled his energy into his palm and slammed it onto the lid of the box.
Click!
The rusted latch broke off instantly.
Dugu Bo yanked open the heavy box lid.
Buzz—!
Contrary to expectations, there was no dazzling light; instead, an extremely cold and eerie aura instantly spread out.
Inside the box, three bones lay quietly.
On the left is a piece of left arm bone that is completely black and emits a faint, cold light. Judging from its quality, it is at least 30,000 years old.
On the right is a dark red right leg bone, faintly exuding a bloody smell, and its quality is around 40,000 years old.
Although these two pieces were precious, they were nothing special in the eyes of Dugu Bo, who had seen soul bones that were 100,000 years old.
What truly captures everyone's attention is the middle section.
It was a bone with an extremely strange shape.
It is neither a hand bone, nor a leg bone, nor a skull or trunk bone.
Its entire body is a translucent purplish-gray color, composed of fine segments.
With a sharp, hook-like tip, it looks like a miniature... scorpion tail?
Or is it the tailbone of some kind of snake?
It lay there quietly, yet seemed alive, emanating a chilling, sinister aura.
The moment he saw the bone, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted to pinpoints, and he gasped in shock:
"This...this is..."
"An external soul bone?!"
Within the sea of spirit, Yu Nan's eyes lit up when he saw the bone, and he felt reassured.
'As expected!'
It seems my judgment was correct.
Yu Nan was in a great mood, and her voice carried a hint of laughter:
"Not bad, you're lucky."
"Old Poisoner, you didn't see wrong."
This is the external soul bone that is extremely rare and highly sought after in the world of soul masters.
If I remember correctly.
This must have been a 60,000-year-old 'Bone-Corroding Poison King Scorpion' that fought a 'Fiery Azure Wolf' and both were severely injured.
It fell after I killed it while I was away.
"This bone should be the tail hook of the Bone-Eating Venomous Scorpion, mutated from a part of the vertebrae."
"Six...sixty thousand years?!"
Or is it an external soul bone?!
Dugu Bo felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
External soul bones are rare, with a drop rate of only one in ten thousand, and most of them are thousands or tens of thousands of years old.
A 60,000-year-old external soul bone?
This is simply unheard of!
The value of this thing is absolutely no less than that of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone!
"Yanyan, hurry!"
Put it away quickly!
Dugu Bo was so excited that he was incoherent, gesturing wildly:
"This is an external soul bone!"
Once absorbed, it can evolve like a spirit ring as your strength increases!
With it, your combat power will experience a qualitative leap!
Dugu Yan looked at the purplish-gray tailbone, her eyes filled with longing and shock.
She could feel that the bone was calling to her, creating a strange resonance with the toxins in her body.
"Don't rush to put it away."
Yu Nan's voice rang out at the opportune moment, carrying an unquestionable authority:
"There's no time like the present."
"Although the environment here is harsh, the poisonous gas emitted by this Ten Thousand Poison Pool is the best nourishment for this poison-attribute external soul bone."
"Yan Yan, absorb it right here."
