Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 53 Testing the Will of the Dimension

Since Dai Mubai was no longer there, Ma Hongjun, also a powerful attack-type Soul Master, became the one in charge of clearing the way for the Shrek Seven Devils this time.

Because of this, the Shrek group's progress slowed down a bit, which made Lang Lei wonder if they would still encounter the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent.

As it turns out, the corrective power of the world's will is still quite strong—

Just as the Shrek group had been traveling for a while and rested, about half an hour later, Tang San and Zhao Wuji suddenly turned their gazes in the same direction.

Zhao Wuji shouted, "Get up! Something is approaching us!"

"As expected..." Lang Lei stood on the World-Painting Creation, looking down thoughtfully.

"Zhu Zhuqing, see what it is," Zhao Wuji ordered in a deep voice. Zhu Zhuqing would be the most convenient person to investigate here, after all, her martial soul is a cat.

As for Ma Hongjun...

It's too conspicuous; it'll easily attract enemies...

Zhu Zhuqing didn't say a word. She moved swiftly, leaping up instantly. Her sharp claws extended, and like a real cat, she quickly climbed up a large tree next to her. Then she looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing's voice came down from the tree: "It looks like a flying snake, but it doesn't fly very high, only about three meters above the ground."

Also, it has a large, bright red crest on its head, larger than its head itself. Its tail is quite distinctive, fan-shaped.

Tang San was about to speak when Zhu Zhuqing's voice came down from the tree again.

"The snake seemed to have been attacked by someone and fled in another direction."

Tang San quickly asked, "Did you see the length of this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent? What color are its wings?"

Zhu Zhuqing lightly jumped down from the tree, thought for a moment, and replied, "The wings are light red, and the length is about six to eight meters."

Tang San thought for a while and then gave his conclusion.

"This is a thousand-year-old crested serpent with a phoenix tail. Its pale red wings are a sign of its thousand-year evolution."

Judging by its length alone... six to eight meters, that's roughly a cultivation level of 1300 to 1800 years. Oscar, this Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent is perfect for you.

"The crested snake is completely non-venomous, making it a very rare and powerful non-venomous snake."

The Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent primarily attacks by constricting its enemies, suffocating them. While its attack method is simple, its speed is incredibly fast. If Oscar obtains a spirit ring from the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, then his next spirit skill should be related to speed. Whether it's supplementing speed or adding speed to himself, it's a good choice. Because the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent's attack power isn't particularly strong and its attack method is relatively simple, those over a thousand years old are rare. Oscar is quite lucky this time.

Tang San's understanding of spirit beasts was quite good, and he was able to explain why Lang Lei had forcibly turned the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent around.

Oscar's third soul skill was one of the core skills of the Shrek Seven Devils team in the early stages, and most of their tactics were based on this soul skill.

Even in the later stages, this soul skill performed admirably, providing considerable convenience to the original protagonist's team.

Lang Lei was quite curious: without the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, what would Oscar's third soul skill be?

Without Oscar's original flying sausage soul skill, how much would the Shrek Seven Devils' team combat ability decline?

Of course, if Oscar's soul skill is still the same as before...

Then he'll have to suspect something...

Was Tang San's time travel the work of the God of Asura, or was it an interference from the will of the Douluo Continent plane?

If it's the former, then with the Douluo Continent and the God Realm separated and the Asura God unable to interfere, Oscar's soul skill will definitely be replaced.

If it's the latter...

Then all he can say is that the original plane's will was killed by Tang San and replaced by Tang Hao, which was all the plane's will's own fault.

Below, the crowd, unaware of Lang Lei's intentions, quickly gave chase after him after inquiring about the whereabouts of the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent from Zhu Zhuqing.

Moreover, this time it was Zhao Wuji who led the way.

"Li Huo, go and knock that crested snake unconscious and throw it in front of the old man and the boy," Lang Lei ordered.

As for the old woman and the young girl, they were naturally Snake Granny and Meng Yiran. Lang Lei began to search for them with his spiritual power as soon as he noticed the Phoenix-tailed Crested Snake.

"yes!"

After agreeing to the order, Li Huo quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Shrek..."

"Let me see if you really are the chosen ones of great destiny~"

Meanwhile, when Zhao Wuji led the Shrek group to the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent, they found that the serpent had already been killed and was absorbing soul rings.

Oscar stared blankly, realizing that his perfect ideal soul ring had just flown away.

Tang San and Zhao Wuji had been talking about how suitable the age and function of this soul beast were for him, and how rare the Phoenix-tailed Crested Serpent was, which made him extremely tempted.

Now that it's suddenly gone, Oscar feels a big sense of loss.

Before they could make any move, the Snake Granny, worried that her granddaughter's absorption of the soul ring would be affected, issued a warning first.

"Young man, my granddaughter is absorbing a spirit ring ahead, don't come any closer. I am Chaotianxiang, and I am honored by the spirit master community with the title of Snake Granny. My husband is Meng Shu, also known as Dragon Lord. If you have anything to say, just talk to this old woman."

Upon hearing the old woman's self-introduction, Zhao Wuji was secretly taken aback. He grabbed Oscar, who was about to complain, and said in a deep voice, "Are you the Snake Granny from the Peerless Dragon and Snake Sect?"

Snake Granny Chaotianxiang glanced at Oscar with some dissatisfaction. After this soul beast escaped from their hands, it was knocked unconscious by a master and thrown in front of them. It had nothing to do with this young man. What kind of expression did that child have?

However, Snake Granny Chaotianxiang did not show her dissatisfaction for the sake of her granddaughter: "My fellow Soul Masters, you overestimate me. I dare not accept that. It is indeed I."

Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly. He had heard of the name of the Peerless Dragon and Snake long ago. This couple became famous on the continent very early, much earlier than the Golden Iron Triangle. Moreover, they were exceptionally strong, especially Dragon Duke Meng Shu. When Zhao Wuji first heard of Dragon Duke's name, he was already at the level of Soul Saint. Even now that he has reached the level of Soul Douluo, he would not be surprised at all.

Moreover, the couple's Martial Soul Fusion Skill is extremely powerful, and only a Title Douluo can defeat it.

The dragon and snake couple have an excellent relationship and never separate. Since the snake woman is here, the dragon man must be not far away.

It seems they're someone we can't afford to offend...

As for demanding that the other party compensate them with a soul beast?

That's utter nonsense.

In the sky, Lang Lei nodded in satisfaction. He had weakened the opponent's strength; not bad.

The world's will didn't react much either...

Let's take another look.
