Douluo Continent has a system, but I don't want to use it.

Chapter 42 Medusa's Head Soul Bone

The two soul beasts then began to attack Dugu Bo with all their might.

Previously, Dugu Bo could barely hold on in the chaotic battle between one person and two snakes, but now, facing the attack of two snakes alone, he immediately began to retreat.

Fang Tian wouldn't let the opportunity slip away. As the two snakes turned to attack Dugu Bo, he swiftly controlled the vines to move forward, entangling both snakes.

Then, he activated the Soul Absorption skill, beginning to extract life force and soul power.

Meanwhile, more branches wrapped around and tightly bound the two snakes.

Before the Medusa snake was completely unable to resist, it let out a pitiful cry towards the deep valley beside it. Then, it was enveloped and could no longer make a sound.

As their life force and soul power were continuously drained, the two snakes collapsed to the ground, like two hopeless... well, dead snakes.

"Dugu Bo, choose one of these two snakes as your soul ring." Fang Tian nodded to Dugu Bo.

"Senior, I choose the Crimson Scaled Serpent." Dugu Bo glanced at Medusa with a regretful expression, then pointed to the Crimson Scaled Serpent and confirmed with Fang Tian.

To be honest, Dugu Bo really wanted to choose that Medusa, but it was a 50,000-year-old soul beast. He, however, could only absorb soul rings of around 40,000 years when he advanced to Soul Saint. It was such a pity; he wouldn't find anyone willing to help him hunt for soul rings next time.

Fang Tian's willingness to help Dugu Bo naturally had a significant purpose: he hoped to subdue Dugu Bo. After all, Dugu Bo was a future Title Douluo, and although he was at the bottom among Title Douluos, he was still capable of annihilating anyone below the Title Douluo level.

"Okay, then you can begin..." Fang Tian nodded to Dugu Bo.

"Watch out! Something's up!" Qiu Fengyan warned, and quickly came to Fang Tian's side.

At this moment, Fang Tian turned his attention to the direction of the deep valley and sensed a soul beast with a similar aura to the original Medusa soul beast rapidly climbing up from the valley.

Fang Tian's attention wasn't originally in this direction, and he was a step behind Qiu Fengyan in noticing the soul beast.

"Hiss! Hiss!" Under the wary gazes of the three, the soul beast finally revealed its true form: a 70,000-year-old Medusa Queen snake.

"It seems this really might be the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In the original story, Dugu Bo hunted down this 70,000-year-old Medusa as his ninth soul ring. But I didn't expect there to be two soul beasts in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire," Fang Tian thought to himself.

Upon seeing its kind collapsed on the ground, the newly arrived Medusa, its eyes red with rage, spewed a mouthful of poisonous mist at Fang Tian.

Fang Tian released his martial spirit before Medusa appeared, making preparations. The moment Medusa appeared, he controlled his martial spirit to grow rapidly and surge towards her.

The dense vines have now rapidly covered the poisonous fog, constantly consuming it while growing back, and are still resolutely surging towards Medusa.

Enraged, Medusa did not retreat when she saw the vines surging towards her. Instead, she activated her soul skill—Petrification—and her eyes shot out a gray beam of light.

The light shone on the vines, and the originally green vines quickly turned into gray stones.

However, each vine is independent, and the petrification of one vine, or even ten or a hundred vines, has no impact on the overall situation.

The vines continued to surge forward, but the enraged Medusa chose not to retreat and continued to spew poisonous mist to fight to the bitter end.

Finally, a vine wrapped around Medusa's body, and then more and more vines wrapped around her. At this point, Medusa's fate was sealed.

As its soul power and life force dried up, the Medusa died completely. As a black soul ring slowly formed, Fang Tian sensed something on the head of the dead Medusa.

"It's a soul bone! Yes, the original Medusa only had a head soul bone, I didn't expect it to appear again now. But now this soul bone is mine." Fang Tian thought to himself.

"Fengyan, this Medusa has produced a soul bone. Go and get it." Fang Tian gestured to Qiu Fengyan.

Although he knew that Dugu Bo was unlikely to dare to ambush him for the sake of the soul bone, he still felt it was better to be cautious.

"Dugu Bo, hurry up and absorb the Crimson Scale Poisonous Python's soul ring. I'll protect you. We can chat after you've finished absorbing it," Fang Tian said to Dugu Bo with a smile.

"Yes, senior." Dugu Bo naturally sensed the presence of the soul bone, but under Fang Tian's watchful gaze, he obediently went to absorb the soul ring.

After all, in his mind, these were two Title Douluo, and the soul beasts were killed by them.

Dugu Bo swiftly and decisively ended the life of the Crimson Scale Serpent, then sat cross-legged and began absorbing the newly formed black soul ring.

Meanwhile, Qiu Fengyan had already taken out Medusa's head soul bone and was examining it carefully in her hand.

The soul bone is crystal clear, as if carved from crystal, and resembles a human skull.

To be honest, Fang Tian has a lot of complaints about how the laws of heaven and earth can shape the soul bones formed after the death of soul beasts into human form, but he doesn't know where to begin.

Should we blame the laws of nature for favoring the human race?

Qiu Fengyan admired the soul bone for a while before handing it over to Fang Tian. She was still waiting for Fang Tian to research the principles and inscription methods of the soul bone technique so that she could improve her entire skeletal system.

Fang Tian casually put away the Medusa head soul bone. Seeing Dugu Bo sitting there absorbing soul rings, he controlled his martial soul to kill the 50,000-year-old Medusa.

Judging from the 50,000-year-old Medusa's plea for help from the deep valley and the 70,000-year-old Medusa's furious reaction upon emerging, these two Medusas must have had a close relationship and likely both lived in the deep valley.

Otherwise, Fang Tian would have released the 50,000-year-old Medusa. After all, it's not easy for a 50,000-year-old Medusa to cultivate to this age, and the group didn't need its soul ring, so killing it would be a waste.

However, Fang Tian and Qiu Fengyan would definitely take over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the future. This soul beast already lived in the deep valley, and it had developed a hatred for Fang Tian. Moreover, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast had gained intelligence. In the end, Fang Tian decided to kill it.

"Should we go down into the valley and take a look?" Qiu Fengyan asked hopefully.

The two had originally come to find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, but now that they were so close, they had to wait outside. Qiu Fengyan felt as if a hundred claws were scratching at her heart.

"Hmm, why don't you fly down and take a look? Remember to be very careful. Don't touch the herbs inside, some of them are highly poisonous. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately."

Fang Tian thought for a moment and realized there shouldn't be any more soul beasts below, so he nodded to Qiu Fengyan.

Qiu Fengyan cheered, unleashed her external soul bone, and flew into the deep valley beside her.

Fang Tian continued to protect Dugu Bo from the side. After all, Dugu Bo was someone he wanted to subdue, so Fang Tian was naturally willing to make some sacrifices.

Less than ten minutes later, Qiu Fengyan returned with an excited expression.

"Fang Tian, ​​this really is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire that we're looking for!" Qiu Fengyan's excited voice reached Fang Tian's ears.
