Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 209: Queen Medusa's Egg, a Hard-to-Describe External Soul Bone

After dealing with these soul beasts, Chen Ming, who was carrying eighteen bags on his back like the supreme elder of the Beggars' Sect, shifted his attention to the lake where Queen Medusa appeared.

After handing over the precious storage soul guide to Dugu Bo, Chen Ming went to the bottom of the lake and explored it carefully.

The lake is filled with vitality and soul power. Although it is far inferior to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, from a conventional perspective it is undoubtedly a top-notch place for cultivation. Every drop of lake water is a good medicine for healing wounds.

The lake bottom was not too deep, only about a hundred meters deep. Although the Douluo World was a fantasy sewer, with Chen Ming's current strength, there would be no problem in operating on the water surface below a hundred meters.

After mental scanning and spiritual detection, Chen Ming searched for a while and finally found several nests of snake eggs in the mud at the bottom of the lake.

The total number of snake eggs in several nests has exceeded a hundred. There are faint golden and blood-colored lines on the eggshell of each snake egg. It continuously absorbs the vitality and soul power of the lake water, and the life inside the eggshell grows slowly and healthily.

Even though they are still in the eggs and have not yet been born, the origin of each life in these snake eggs exceeds that of a normal hundred-year soul beast, and is not much different from an ordinary thousand-year soul beast.

Chen Ming guessed that this was probably because these snake eggs contained the blood of Queen Medusa, and their parents were all top-level snake soul beasts, which led to these snake eggs winning at the starting line before they were born.

Chen Ming estimated that if these snake eggs could be born, the ones that came out of them would at least be top-level soul beasts, and among them there would inevitably be super soul beasts like Medusa that inherited the bloodline of Queen Medusa and super soul beasts that were mutated from top-level soul beasts.

These snake eggs are also very valuable treasures. Chen Ming estimated that if an ordinary snake spirit master could eat an egg, not only would the quality of his spirit be improved, but even his innate spirit power would be further supplemented.

If these eggs are put to good use, they would be enough to transform into a group of soul masters with innate qualifications above level nine and possessing snake king-level martial spirits.

Even an ordinary person with a snake-like martial soul without innate soul power can forcibly upgrade his martial soul to the top level and become a snake king by eating more than 20 eggs, and gain the talent of innate full soul power.

If he wanted to gather faith on the continent in the future, these snake eggs might be able to serve as his start-up capital, allowing him to gather a group of loyal and powerful snake soul masters and lay a foundation for the development of faith.

Of course, because these snake eggs are naturally very high, the incubation time is not short. Chen Ming estimates that it will take at least ten years to hatch the baby snakes. The nest closest to hatching will still take about two and a half years. If they are handled properly, they can be sealed for hundreds of years without causing the loss of the essence in the eggs.

If a soul master family with a snake-type martial spirit gets these eggs, they can basically target the top three sects or even the number one sect in the world.

After getting the snake eggs, Chen Ming was not satisfied. Instead, he continued to rummage through the mud at the bottom of the lake several times, scanning it over and over again with his mental strength and spirituality, unwilling to let go of anything valuable.

Finally, after digging for more than ten meters in the mud at the bottom of the lake, Chen Ming finally found something more valuable than snake eggs.

It was a broken bone, which looked like a rib that had fallen from an ordinary person. The whole thing was a light golden color, and one could vaguely feel the remaining vitality at the broken end.

Although it is unknown how long it has been buried in the mud, a small amount of hematopoietic function is still retained in the bone marrow of this broken bone.

The source of vitality of this lake is this broken rib, and the secret of the lake water is the blood that is produced from the bone marrow and diluted countless times.

Chen Ming could feel the breath of the goddess Medusa on this rib. There was no doubt that this rib should be the one that fell from the God Realm to the Douluo World along with the artifact and throne of the goddess Medusa.

A single rib or a fragment of a god's throne that fell on the Douluo plane cannot create such an ecosystem, but if the two of the same origin are put together, with the magic of the god's remnant thoughts, it is not difficult to transform such a special ecosystem. It can be said that this island is essentially created by the god Medusa's thoughts to repair herself, and the god Medusa almost tried to be reborn in the Douluo world through her body.

Taking away this rib would cause the entire island's ecological chain to gradually collapse within hundreds of years. But when Chen Ming thought about it carefully, he found that it didn't seem to be a big deal.

after all
Queen Medusa and a large number of Medusas were killed. Among the snake kings, only the Green Phosphorus Snake King escaped. A large number of snake soul beasts on the island were killed by Queen Medusa's own death scream. Except for a few lucky ones, probably only the sea snakes near the beach outside the island survived.

In this situation, the ecological chain has already collapsed to the point where it cannot collapse any further. Even if I take away this broken bone, it will not cause much impact.

Perhaps after he and others left, this island would develop a new ecological chain because of the loss of Queen Medusa and many snake kings?
Although he actually didn't care too much about the life or death of the soul beast, Chen Ming still felt a little embarrassed when he thought that because of his arrival, this originally vibrant island probably only had less than 10% of the life left.

"In the future, it is better to minimize the impact on the environment when hunting souls. Fortunately, this is an island that does not have much impact on the surrounding environment. If this happened in other normal soul beast forests, I don't know how serious the consequences would be."

"When we go back, remind the fishermen to be careful of sea snakes. Don't let the sea snakes spread to the fishermen because of me."

"."

"Forget it, let's go clean up the sea snake later. This is safer."

After thinking for a while, Chen Ming still felt that human life was more valuable than soul beast life. In order to prevent his soul hunting from having a negative impact on the surrounding cities, Chen Ming decided to clean up the sea snakes again so that these snake soul beasts could not pose a threat to the surrounding cities.

Chen Ming and Dugu Bo plundered the small island called Lingshe Island. It took them two full days to completely sort out their harvest.

Chen Ming froze the bodies of many snake spirit beasts and put them into the spirit guide. In the end, the two even only chose those snake spirit beasts with good quality and high age to freeze. During this period, the two dissected every dead spirit beast on the island and finally obtained a full twenty pieces of spirit bones.

Among these twenty soul bones, only three are ten thousand year soul bones, and the remaining seventeen soul bones are thousand year soul bones.

Of these twenty soul bones, nineteen were the regular six soul bones, and one was a rare external soul bone. However, the location of this soul bone was a bit awkward, as it was an external soul bone from the fang of a thousand-year-old netherworld snake.

After absorbing this external soul bone, it will definitely increase the strength of the teeth and the toxin, but the attack ability it grants is...
The better ones would probably be skills like venom spray, the worse ones would probably be injecting venom directly with teeth, and no one could say for sure how much the effect would be on combat.

After all, external soul bones are rare things, and there is no precedent for external soul bones made of teeth on the Douluo Continent.

Dugu Bo asked Chen Ming whether he wanted to absorb this external soul bone. After all, although it stands to reason that after absorbing the head soul bone, one cannot absorb the external soul bone in the same position on the head, the position of this fang soul bone is somewhat special. Dugu Bo feels that it can still be absorbed even after absorbing the head soul bone.

But Chen Ming thought about it and decided to forget it. For him now, such a poisonous fang attached to the soul bone is really useless, and he can't bite people with his teeth.
Well, if the teeth of a top-level bat-type soul beast were attached to a soul bone, Chen Ming would actually consider it. But the Nether Snake is only a high-level soul beast, and the functions of snake fangs are really limited. Chen Ming couldn't think of any development direction.

So Dugu Bo absorbed the pair of fangs with tears in his eyes, and luckily obtained a soul skill that enhanced his bite force and tooth strength. He was depressed for a long time.

It turns out that Dugu Bo's luck is indeed a little bit hard to describe.
