Dragon's Origin

"Is that the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent's lair?" The three of them were far away, on a mountain top two miles from the valley where the serpent lived. Wang Sheng pointed to the only visible valley and asked Song Yan.

"Yes, that's it," Song Yan nodded.

In recent days, she had become accustomed to Wang Sheng's monstrous talent in cultivation, and even looked forward to whether Wang Sheng could really break through the limits of being unranked and enter the first level. Wang Sheng's insistence on coming here to take a look also gave her a little expectation, hoping that Wang Sheng could discover something that she and Uncle Lao Yu hadn't.

In Wang Sheng's hand, a strange object suddenly appeared. Song Yan and Uncle Lao Yu looked at Wang Sheng in surprise as he brought the thing that looked like two tubes to his eyes, not understanding why Wang Sheng would do this.

Faced with their doubts, Wang Sheng did not explain. He couldn't explain what a telescope was now, so he would take a look first.

It must be said that after having a Naring, everything became convenient and simple. There was no need to carry heavy equipment, but it could be taken out of the Naring at any time. It was really easy to use.

The sky had just darkened, and the low-light telescope was enough to see things in that direction clearly. Soon, Wang Sheng saw the dark cave deep in the mountain. That cave should be the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent's lair.

"How close did you get to see it?" The poison serpent was not outside at the moment, and nothing could be seen from the outside. Wang Sheng began to ask Song Yan for the details of their last reconnaissance.

"I looked down from the top of the mountain above that cave," Song Yan didn't answer, Uncle Lao Yu answered: "The habits previously shown by the poison serpent were exactly the same as those recorded before and after laying eggs. The performance in the following days was also exactly the same as the records of the poison serpent shedding its skin."

"In other words, Uncle Lao Yu, you only saw the poison serpent's entry and exit, but you didn't see the egg laying with your own eyes, right?" Wang Sheng asked as he adjusted the telescope to infrared mode and continued to check over there.

Song Lao Yu was a little angry. What did this mean? Didn't he believe his reconnaissance results? However, angry as he was, Wang Sheng's question was not a problem. He indeed hadn't seen the poison serpent laying eggs with his own eyes.

You must know that this Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent was at the peak of the third level. No matter how powerful Song Lao Yu was, he was only at the middle stage of the third level. Even if the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent was greatly injured after laying eggs, it still had the strength of the high stage of the third level. If Song Lao Yu went down to see if the poison serpent was laying eggs, what difference would there be from suicide?

However, experts had carefully studied the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent. Therefore, combined with some of the poison serpent's life habits before and after, it could be inferred what state the poison serpent was in. Just after laying eggs and about to shed its skin, it was inferred based on some unique habits and details, with a high degree of certainty.

"Yes, I haven't seen it with my own eyes," Song Lao Yu answered this question with suppressed anger, but he still had to explain to avoid being looked down upon by Wang Sheng: "I have asked at least four experts who are particularly familiar with the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent. They confirmed that this Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent has just laid eggs and is about to shed its skin, there is absolutely no mistake."

In infrared mode, Wang Sheng still didn't see the result he wanted. This was not surprising. Snakes on Earth are cold-blooded animals, and it must be the same here. It was normal that infrared couldn't see anything.

"I have no doubt about Uncle Lao Yu's judgment," Wang Sheng put away the telescope and turned around to seriously say to Song Lao Yu and Song Yan: "I just want to confirm whether this experience mission was chosen by yourself, or assigned by elders in the family who are not on good terms with you?"

Seeing that Song Yan was a little dismissive, Wang Sheng emphasized: "Believe me, this is very important!"

"It was designated by the Third Elder in conjunction with several other elders," Song Yan was still a little hesitant, but Song Lao Yu had already told the truth: "What, have you discovered any problems?"

"No!" Wang Sheng shook his head and answered honestly: "However, there must be a problem here."

Song Yan and Song Lao Yu rolled their eyes at Wang Sheng. Everyone knew there was a problem here. However, since they had observed for so long and found this opportunity, they naturally still had to try. At worst, when it shed its skin and they couldn't kill the poison serpent, they would immediately turn around and run. They believed that the poison serpent would be concerned about the eggs it had just laid and wouldn't chase after them.

This was also why Song Yan and Song Lao Yu would agree to this trial even though they knew there must be a problem. In Song Lao Yu's view, it didn't matter whether the mission was completed or not. What was important was that Song Yan wouldn't be in danger. As for the trial, if it didn't work this time, they could try next time. Anyway, Song Yan was only eighteen years old now and had plenty of opportunities.

Wang Sheng didn't think so. In his opinion, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu were a little too optimistic. How could the elders collude with the Dai family to send Song Yan out and then arrange such a thrilling and safe trial for him? But Wang Sheng couldn't figure out exactly where the danger was now.

So Wang Sheng could only use the telescope to carefully observe the surrounding terrain, and at the same time, combine his own experience to consider where would be the most suitable place if he wanted to interfere.

Song Lao Yu felt that Wang Sheng was making a fuss over a minor issue, but Wang Sheng relentlessly observed in various directions in the following days. Every day, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu watched Wang Sheng look around with the binocular telescope whose purpose they didn't know. Song Lao Yu felt a little impatient. Could that binocular thing see farther and clearer than him, a master of the third level?

The most important purpose of coming here this time, besides letting Wang Sheng observe in advance, was to kill the poison serpent and complete the trial. There were only a few days left, so there was definitely no time to return and come back again. Therefore, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu had already prepared everything before coming, and were just waiting for the right time to act.

Wang Sheng turned around on the surrounding mountains for at least three days and found nothing unusual. However, he saw the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent several times in the telescope. But each time, the poison serpent only left a small section of its body in the cave and didn't come out completely.

It must be said that the monsters in this world still surpassed Wang Sheng's common sense on Earth. This Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent at the peak of the third level was even more exaggerated than the big snakes Wang Sheng had seen in movies and TV works on Earth.

When the body was fully unfolded, the length of the outer part alone was estimated to be more than twenty meters, or even reached twenty-five meters. The thinnest part was also thicker than an adult. Such a big snake was actually a highly venomous snake. Wang Sheng really didn't know how the other monsters in this area survived.

The intuition of a monster at the peak of the third level was terrifyingly sharp. Wang Sheng was observing with a telescope two miles away, but the big snake seemed to have discovered Wang Sheng's figure, coiled up and stared in Wang Sheng's direction for a long time. Wang Sheng estimated that if it weren't for worrying about the eggs it had just laid, it would definitely rush over and swallow him in one gulp.

When the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent coiled up and stared at Wang Sheng with fierce killing intent, the combat consciousness villain immediately reacted. In an instant, Wang Sheng's mind was filled with several fatal points on the poison serpent's body. The head, throat, and seven inches were common sense for dealing with snake-like creatures, so it didn't seem surprising.

However, under Wang Sheng's magnified observation, these three places were more difficult to attack than the other. Each of the three fatal places was covered with thick scales. The thinnest place was estimated to be more than ten centimeters thick. Wang Sheng didn't even need to try. These scales were definitely harder than steel plates of the same thickness.

On the thick scales, many places had begun to show some whitening, and the poison serpent often rubbed against a large rock in the valley. According to Uncle Lao Yu's explanation, this was a sign that the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent was about to shed its skin.

Wang Sheng admired Song Yan. Knowing that she was going to deal with such a big guy, and such a fierce monster, she hadn't shown any panic so far. From this point of view, Song Yan was indeed very graceful, calm and composed, and powerful.

Song Lao Yu hadn't been idle these days either. He had carefully checked the surrounding area several times. It wasn't that he didn't suspect that the family elders had tampered with something, and might take advantage of Song Yan and Song Lao Yu dealing with the poison serpent to suddenly lead people to attack. So Song Lao Yu also checked very carefully.

But after so many days, Song Lao Yu didn't find anything wrong in the surrounding area, not even a sign of anyone appearing, let alone arranging any conspiracy in advance. Such a big Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent, if you don't keep an eye on it all the time, how can you find the exact time to shed its skin?

Only Song Yan, every day she was just practicing peacefully in the three people's temporary camp, conserving her energy, and looked much calmer than Wang Sheng and Song Lao Yu.

Just when Wang Sheng was still struggling with what method the elders would use to plot against Song Yan and Song Lao Yu, the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent finally had a problem and began to shed its skin.

The Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent completely came out of that big cave. Wang Sheng saw clearly this time, it was a full thirty meters long. The poison serpent slowly wandered to the big rock that it had been rubbing against before and began to rub violently.

Before long, a crack appeared on the Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent's mouth, and then the crack became bigger and bigger. All three of them clearly saw the poison serpent's body begin to weaken, and slowly crawled out of that crack.

"It's time!" Song Yan and Song Lao Yu had already been ready to go, and greeted Wang Sheng: "Hide yourself well and don't come out easily."

These were already agreed upon. Wang Sheng couldn't use spiritual energy to attack, and it was useless to go. Wang Sheng nodded to the two of them and watched them rush towards the shedding Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent quickly.

Wang Sheng also began to move. However, the direction he moved was not the agreed-upon escape direction, but a sniper point that had already been observed. This point was on a small hill on one side of the valley, only two hundred meters away from the poison serpent, enough to exert the powerful power of the sniper rifle.

When Wang Sheng arrived at the sniper point, Song Yan and Song Lao Yu had already frantically attacked the weakened Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent for at least half a minute. Both of them had gone all out, and Wang Sheng could clearly see that each attack could leave a not small opening on the weakened Thousand Illusions Poison Serpent.

Quickly lying down, Wang Sheng's sniper rifle instantly appeared in his hand, and the front foot support was just placed on a stone in front. Wang Sheng's right eye also reached the scope of the sniper rifle.
