Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 77: Dragon and Snake Surrender
On the other side, Dugu Bo has also arrived at the family where the Gaishi Dragon Snake couple lives.

After a battle of wits and courage, the use of force, coercion and inducement, Dugu Bo successfully persuaded the Dragon Lord Meng Shu and the Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang to submit to Lin Rong.

"Mr. Dugu, my husband and I still need to pack our things. Are you going to wait here for us to leave together? Or are you going to go ahead?"

As Meng Shu spoke, he lowered his head and smelled the two Longyun Xianzhi pills in the jade bottle, and he couldn't stop smiling on his old face.

On the opposite side, Dugu Bo watched this scene with his heart bleeding.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have taken out only one pill at the beginning. As a result, this old man Meng Shu tricked me into giving me more than one pill."

"But fortunately, I insisted that there were only two pills, so I was able to save the last of the three pills."

But this kind of thing cannot be said out loud, so Dugu Bo could only smile and decline:

"I have some important things to attend to, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

After Dugu Bo left, the snake woman looked at Tianxiang and her old partner, and asked in confusion:

"Old man, why did you believe Dugu Bo's lies that he only had two pills in his hand?"

"One person can only take three Dragon Rhyme Immortal Ganoderma Pills at most. It is almost obvious that Dugu Bo has three pills in his hand."

"Since he has come here to recruit us on the orders of his master, and we want to take the last pill from him, how dare he refuse to give it to us?"

"Three pills, one for each of us, my husband and I, plus Yi Ran."

"Old woman, that's wrong." Dragon Lord Meng Shu twirled his beard and explained calmly:
"We demanded it forcefully, and Dugu Bo had no choice but to give it to us because of his master's order."

"But, in the future, we will be subordinates of the same master as Dugu Bo. We will see each other every day. It will be bad if the relationship is damaged."

"You have to understand that Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo after all, and I am only a Soul Douluo. Even though our martial soul fusion skills allow us to temporarily rival the Titled Douluo, we still have to be in awe so as not to lose ourselves."

After hearing this, Chao Tianxiang understood his wife's intention, so he looked at the two pills in the jade bottle and said:
"There are only two pills of this medicine. One of them must be given to Yi Ran, the girl. As for the remaining one, I'd better give it to you, the old man. Who knows..."

"Alas!" Meng Shu sighed and refused:
"Old woman, one pill is not enough for me to have a chance to break through to the Title Douluo level, but you are different."

"My martial soul is a dragon-headed cane. The little bit of martial soul quality improved by this pill is not even icing on the cake."

"But your martial soul is the snake staff. This pill will improve the quality of your martial soul. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a timely help."

"If you take this pill, you may have a chance to cultivate to the Soul Douluo realm. By then, you and I will both be Soul Douluos, and the power of our dragon and snake combined attack will be able to rival that of a Titled Douluo at level ninety-five."

After saying this, Meng Shu saw that his wife was still a little hesitant, and added:
"Don't worry, old lady. The master should still have this medicine. There will be a chance in the future. Don't hesitate."

……

Time passes quickly.

When the Gai Shi Long She couple arrived at Tian Dou City with their family, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition had already come to the end of the promotion round.

On the outskirts of Tiandou City, the royal hunting ground.

This is a vast area with diverse terrain. It is used by royal family members for hunting and by the Royal Knights for training.

Normally, no civilians are allowed to approach here, but every time the Continental High-level Soul Master Elite Competition reaches the promotion round.

This place will be used as the venue for the promotion match. On the vast grassland, somewhere in a military camp.

Lin Rong watched the soldiers of the Royal Knights patrolling around the military camp, thinking about how he could take control of this power in his own hands without bloodshed.

As an elite force built by the royal family with all their efforts, the Royal Knights have a total of 50,000 people, and all of them are cavalry.

The mounts they rode were not ordinary horses, but Heavenly Soul Horses that possessed the blood of soul beasts.

This type of horse itself has no attack power, but its extremely fast speed, super load-bearing capacity, and strong endurance make the Tianhun Horse the best choice for cavalry across the entire continent.

In addition, every captain of the Royal Knights above 100 people is a soul master. The higher the rank, the higher the soul master's cultivation.

There is no doubt that the Royal Knights are a trump card controlled by the Tiandou royal family.

If you want to annihilate such an ace force, you will have to pay an extremely terrifying price.

Furthermore, instead of annihilating the Royal Knights, it is better to control them in our own hands.

Lin Rong thought so, just like Qian Renxue thought so too.

As long as Emperor Xue Ye dies from the mixed poison "Seven Colors", "Xue Qinghe", who inherits the throne as the crown prince, will be able to legitimately gain control of the Royal Knights.

on the other hand.

If all the members of the Xue family died in the battle between Qian Renxue and Tang San, the leader of the Royal Knights would most likely be able to control his own troops.

Although, the Royal Knights must obey the orders of the new emperor who is elected by the ten hereditary nobles.

But they could also bet in advance that the nobles they supported would become strong contenders for the throne.

If the nobles they bet on lose the competition, the leader of the knightly order in power may launch a rebellion and fight to the death in order to avoid being liquidated.

"It was written in the original novel that when Dugu Bo was being hunted by the Spirit Hall elder, it was Prince Xuexing who led the army to force the Spirit Hall elder to retreat."

"The location is outside Tiandou City, so the army led by Xue Xing is very likely the Royal Knights."

"It seems that Xue Ye is really good to his younger brother."

"The Royal Academy gave Xue Xing full control, and even the command of the Royal Army was given to Xue Xing."

"No wonder Xue Xing dared to support Xue Beng to compete with Xue Qinghe. Xue Ye's preference for his own brother is the reason why he is so fearless!"

"Although Dugu Bo submitted to me, apart from the people present at the Tang Sect that day, only the old fox Ning Fengzhi had some guesses."

"The rest of the people don't know about this matter, and Dugu Bo is still a guest of the royal family on the surface."

"Perhaps, I can start from this aspect and let Dugu Bo find Xue Xing to ask about the Royal Knights indirectly."

While Lin Rong was thinking, the old housekeeper quietly walked behind him and whispered in his ear:
"Young Master, the Gai Shi Long She couple has arrived at Tian Dou City with their family. I have sent people to settle them."

"Are they here?" Lin Rong looked towards the direction of Tiandou City.

"It takes so long. It's slow to travel with a family!"
