Chapter 22: Unrivaled Dragon and Snake

Chapter 22: Unrivaled Dragon and Snake

As they rushed forward, perhaps due to the battle between the two Title Douluo, all the weak soul beasts around were scared away, so the group didn't encounter any soul beasts on their way.

However, while running, they encountered other people.

The group consisted of one man and two women, with two elderly and one young person.

Among them, the old woman appeared to be around sixty or seventy years old, with white hair neatly combed. Her face had numerous wrinkles, but it was as rosy as a baby's, and her eyes shone brightly.

Beside the old woman was a beautiful young girl.

The girl had ear-length short hair, looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and wore clean and neat battle clothes that tightly wrapped around her well-developed figure.

With her deep brown eyes, she curiously observed the group of people, occasionally pausing her gaze on Bai Yuan and his two disciples behind him.

The third person was a tall and thin old man, who looked at least seventy years old and had silver hair like the old woman.

As soon as they saw this trio, Bai Yuan instinctively exclaimed, "Unrivaled Dragon and Snake!"

"Do you know us?" Long Gong looked at the strange group before him and asked.

Yes, they were indeed strange.

Bai Yuan and his group looked extremely peculiar now.

Bai Yuan carrying a plump woman on his back was nothing to comment on, but having a vine entangling a teenage girl on the side was indeed thought-provoking.

White Rain's case was even more absurd—a six or seven-year-old girl carrying a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

Bai Yuan put down Xiao Wu and his second disciple, arching his hand and said, "The name Unrivaled Dragon and Snake is known far and wide. As a young one, I naturally know about you."

Long Gong stroked his beard and smiled, "You have good taste, but since you came from that direction, you should know what caused the commotion there, right?"

Bai Yuan's expression changed and he said, "Yes, it's because two Title Douluo are fighting three Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, which caused the disturbance."

Long Gong's and Snake Granny's faces changed slightly, and both of them froze for a moment.

Meng Yi Ran opened her small mouth, showing an expression of disbelief.

Two Title Douluo and three Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were fighting on the outskirts of the forest—it was simply inconceivable.

It's worth noting that Title Douluo were rarely seen, and Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts were even rarer. They were scattered all over the world and hard to find.

But the continuous loud noises were evidence of Bai Yuan's words.

"Do you know the reason why those two Title Douluo came?" Long Gong asked with a stern look, staring at Bai Yuan.

Snake Granny and Meng Yi Ran also looked at Bai Yuan, trying to discern the truth from his expression.

Bai Yuan chuckled, "Senior Long Gong, you're putting me in a difficult position. How could I know the thoughts of Title Douluo? But judging from their battle with the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, it's probably to hunt and kill them."

Long Gong's face changed, and the hand that stroked his beard also froze.

Snake Granny trembled involuntarily, and her entire body seemed to shudder.

Meng Yi Ran looked somewhat shaky. Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts could provide Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones if successfully hunted—things all Spirit Masters dreamt of.

Bai Yuan continued, "Senior Long Gong, from what I saw, the two sides were evenly matched in battle. With your fusion skills, you can easily match a Title Douluo in a short period. I believe that if you join the fight, you can turn the situation around and gain favor with the two Title Douluo and their factions."

Long Gong and Snake Granny exchanged glances and then nodded simultaneously, as if they had made a certain decision.

To join this battle, hunt and kill three Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts, and gain favor from two Title Douluo and their factions would ensure a better future for Meng Yi Ran.

However, just then, Xiao Wu, who was bound by the vine, suddenly spoke, "Two seniors, he is deceiving you. The two Title Douluo came not to hunt Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts but to capture him!"

Long Gong, Snake Granny, and Meng Yi Ran all turned their gazes to Bai Yuan, their eyes showing not only scrutiny but also vigilance.

Could someone being hunted by two Title Douluo and still alive be a weak existence?

Clearly, Bai Yuan was a weak person now, but Long Gong and Snake Granny remained extremely vigilant, unwilling to believe what they sensed.

"Do you really want to make a move?" Bai Yuan's voice was cold.

He wanted to stall for time and complete the formation.

Xiao Wu said, "Two seniors, make your move quickly. He's really not that strong. At most, he can only match a five-ringed Soul King."

"If you utter another word, I'll kill you right now!" Bai Yuan angrily shouted while simultaneously forming seals with his hands.

"Wood Spirit Formation!"

In an instant, the vines entwining Xiao Wu seemed to come to life. They rapidly grew and, in the blink of an eye, sealed her mouth, making her only able to make "wuwu" sounds.

Long Gong and Snake Granny were both startled. They hadn't noticed how Bai Yuan had acted, nor had they understood the principle behind controlling those vines.

"Are you really sure you want to take action?" Bai Yuan coldly said.

He wanted to delay time; he wanted to complete the formation.

Xiao Wu said, "The two of you, act quickly. He really isn't strong. At most, he can only match a five-ringed Soul King."

"Do you think you can use my granddaughter as a shield?" Snake Granny coldly said, standing in front of Meng Yi Ran.

Bai Yuan sneered, "Hmph, if you don't believe it, you can try. But if you do, you'll have to bear the consequences of failure."

White Rain came to Bai Yuan's side, and her tree spirit disciple followed suit. Even the young third disciple, Wang Qiu Er, imitated them, adopting a posture indicating they were ready to fight at any moment.
