Dragon's Origin

Chapter 25: Where Did This Formation Come From?

The Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was too bizarre, at least that's how Wang Sheng saw it. On Earth, there was nothing with such strange characteristics. When molting, its body could enter a state of illusion, rendering physical attacks ineffective.

This characteristic was only achievable by formless ghosts in legends. Unexpectedly, in this world, a Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent could do it. It has to be said that creation in this world is indeed magical.

In the scope, Song Yan and Old Fish Song were frantically attacking the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent that was constantly crawling out of its old skin. In Wang Sheng's vision, the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent had become translucent, as if it were empty, yet it could crawl on the ground, looking very awkward.

Swords and sabers were useless against the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent at this time. Only the spiritual energy emitted from fists and feet could be effective. Song Yan used her fists, while Old Fish Song used his claws.

Each punch from Song Yan could leave a bowl-sized pit on the illusory body of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent. Each grab from Old Fish Song could create an even larger pit.

The illusory venomous serpent wouldn't bleed, otherwise a large area would definitely be stained red. However, because the venomous serpent only had its head out, their attacks could only target the head and neck, and they couldn't attack the seven-inch spot.

If it were a normal demonic beast, such terrible wounds would have already caused excessive blood loss or sent it rolling on the ground in unbearable pain. But on the molting venomous serpent, it seemed to feel no pain at all, ignoring their attacks and focusing on crawling its body out of the old skin.

Wang Sheng was very close to the battle, only two hundred meters away. In the scope of the M200 sniper rifle, everything was crystal clear. The magnification might even be greater than the real thing. Even Song Yan and Old Fish Song on the scene might not have seen as clearly as Wang Sheng.

From the scope, Wang Sheng could clearly see that the pits and cracks caused by Song Yan and Old Fish Song's attacks were slowly shrinking with the venomous serpent's movements.

In other words, the venomous serpent wasn't doing nothing. It was just that while it couldn't counterattack, its body injuries were slowly recovering.

This was the most deadly thing. The venomous serpent could recover on its own. If the attack speed couldn't keep up with the recovery speed, it would mean that everything Song Yan and Old Fish Song were doing was futile.

Song Yan and Old Fish Song had obviously noticed this as well. They became nervous, and their attacks became more fierce and faster, striving to kill or severely injure the venomous serpent before it finished molting. Otherwise, they would have no choice but to escape.

It's not surprising that Song Yan and Old Fish Song felt this way. They had never personally fought the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent before. Everything they knew came from the records of their predecessors, which inevitably contained many errors.

Although they could clearly judge the habits of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent, the reactions of the venomous serpent during the attack were not described in detail by their predecessors.

You should know that those who can deal with the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent generally have a higher cultivation level than the venomous serpent. Therefore, regardless of whether the venomous serpent is molting or not, they can rely on their powerful strength to suppress and kill the venomous serpent. Those with lower cultivation levels than the venomous serpent have almost never won against it with their weakness.

How many people can encounter the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent molting at the right time? Therefore, even if the predecessors had detailed records, they were not detailed enough to know such details.

Song Yan and Old Fish Song suffered because of this. In the end, it was still a lack of information. They didn't expect that the venomous serpent could recover on its own even when attacked in a virtualized state. In this way, 90% of the previous plan would probably be aborted, and the final result would probably be to leave and admit defeat.

However, neither Song Yan nor Old Fish Song wanted to give up before the end. They had to fight no matter what. Their attacks became more and more frantic. Wang Sheng even saw Song Yan swallow an unknown pill, and the intensity of her attacks became even more fierce.

Watching this scene, Wang Sheng didn't take any specific actions. Now that the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was in a virtual state, all of Wang Sheng's weapons were useless against it. He could only wait.

As the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent slowly crawled out of its old skin, Song Yan and Old Fish Song could also attack the seven-inch area of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent. Unfortunately, the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was too large, and the seven-inch area was thicker than three people combined. Their attacks were effective, but the consequences were only some flesh wounds, and they couldn't really kill the venomous serpent.

When the tail of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent also crawled out of the old skin and its body began to solidify little by little, Song Yan and Old Fish Song knew that they had to leave, otherwise they would have no chance to leave.

Both of them were decisive people. With a glance, they immediately stopped and quickly rushed towards the entrance of the valley. As long as they escaped five miles away before the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent regained its mobility, they could basically leave safely. The Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was concerned about the eggs it had just laid and would definitely not leave the nest.

However, all the plans were beautiful, but flaws appeared at the last moment. When Song Yan and Old Fish Song quickly escaped to the entrance of the valley, just one step away from rushing out of the valley, an accident occurred.

Bang bang, two not very loud but very clear sounds came from Song Yan and Old Fish Song's side. When Wang Sheng turned his head, he saw a very strange scene.

Song Yan and Old Fish Song's figures, running at full speed, seemed to suddenly crash into a transparent barrier. Not only did they stop abruptly, but they also seemed to be hit hard by the high-speed impact, and they bounced directly to the ground. Old Fish Song was fine, and he immediately bounced up after falling to the ground, but Song Yan was hit firmly and couldn't get up for a while.

More than a hundred meters behind them, the body of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was becoming more and more solid and turned white. In a few minutes at most, it would turn into its original color and completely complete its molting.

Even if Wang Sheng didn't know much about the common sense of this world, he had learned a lot from his contact with Song Yan and Old Fish Song in the past few days. That transparent barrier was clearly a formation that Wang Sheng had heard of long ago.

There are many incredible existences in this world, and formations are one of them. The most common one is the formation that restricts the soul, which is made by soul refiners. Soul refiners are the general term for a class of people who are proficient in the soul part of the formation.

In addition, there are many other formations, such as seals, restraints, and various aids. The one in front of them was clearly a restraint formation.

When Wang Sheng saw this scene, his mind started to spin wildly. The formation had to be controlled by someone to activate it, but in the past few days, Old Fish Song had searched the surrounding area for more than ten miles and found that there was no one else besides them. How was this formation set up? How was it activated?

Especially since Song Yan and Old Fish Song were fine when they entered the valley, but suddenly activated when they escaped, there was clearly a strangeness in it.

However, Wang Sheng could directly classify this formation as a conspiracy against Song Yan without hesitation. As for the suspects, they were none other than the elders who arranged the trial mission for Song Yan.

Their purpose was to let Song Yan die. But Song Yan was the direct daughter of the family head, and they couldn't easily do it, let alone die unclearly. Then the accident in the trial could cover up everything.

As long as Song Yan and Old Fish Song couldn't escape, the two would definitely not be the opponents of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent after it completed its molting. In this way, Song Yan and Old Fish Song would definitely become the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent's food. Even if the family head pursued it, it would only be because Song Yan was arrogant and tried to challenge the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent, which was much higher than her cultivation level. Could she blame others?

Old Fish Song was almost going crazy. Seeing that even if he didn't kill the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent, he would still fail, but at least he could take the young lady out of this dangerous place. It would be okay to admit that this trial had failed. The young lady was only eighteen years old, and there were plenty of opportunities.

But a sudden restraint formation directly pushed Old Fish Song into hell. Old Fish Song was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the young lady would be killed in front of him and he would be powerless.

At this time, Old Fish Song was like a madman, frantically attacking the transparent barrier, trying to open a way for the young lady with his strength. The sound of banging almost resounded throughout the valley. Old Fish Song punched, kicked, and headbutted, but no matter how frantically he attacked, he couldn't leave even a trace on the restraint formation.

Since the person who set up the formation could think of this trick, they had naturally judged Old Fish Song's strength. The formation was not something Old Fish Song could break in a short time. Even if Old Fish Song could open the formation with his strength in about an hour, there would be no time left.

The Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent would not give Song Yan and Old Fish Song any time after it finished molting. The Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent was a very vengeful demon beast, especially after laying eggs and protecting its cubs. It would kill everything that provoked it. Moreover, a Second Realm and a Third Realm cultivator were just right for it to replenish its body after giving birth.

After attacking continuously for a while, Old Fish Song also knew that his attacks were futile, and he stopped helplessly. Song Yan had slowly sat up, and without saying anything, she was carefully staring at the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent, which was about to change back to its original gorgeous color after turning gray for a while.

It was useless to say anything at this time. Song Yan and Old Fish Song both understood their current situation. The two looked at each other again and saw the meaning contained in each other's eyes.

Since they had been forced to a dead end, they would fight to the death. Even if they died, they couldn't die so cowardly. They had to knock out one or two fangs of the Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent. At this moment, neither of them thought of Wang Sheng, or rather, neither of them expected Wang Sheng to do anything.

The Thousand Illusions Venomous Serpent finally completed its molting, and the parts of its body that were attacked by Song Yan and Old Fish Song when it was virtualized had all returned to normal. At this moment, it was spitting out its core and slowly swimming from the molting place towards the entrance of the valley. A fierce and playful light seemed to be flashing in its two huge snake eyes.

"Bang!"
