Chapter 648: Chapter 297: Why Not Let Him Be the Family Head?_2
The Old Snake glanced at Rong Bao. He was no longer the once young but prematurely mature individual; he had become a truly old fellow. The Old Snake eventually said nothing more on this topic, simply issuing a hissing sound characteristic of snake-type Pet Beasts:
“HISS, HISS, this son of Xiao Chun’s seems quite good, eh?”
The Old Snake snapped back to reality. The current head of the Rong Family was Rong Bao, and it, as their guardian deity, was merely following the final wishes of its former master. As for the distribution of the Egg of the Five Saints, it had voiced its opinion and left it at that.
What intrigued it more now was that strange attraction. The Old Snake could feel that this attraction was nearby. However, it wasn’t sure whether this attraction was indeed coming from Xiao Chun’s son—Rong Bao’s grandson.
“What is your grandson doing?”
“Regarding the matter of the Egg of the Five Saints, the younger generations in the family probably find it hard to accept. It seems they are currently settling it with Beast Taming combat in the training grounds,” Rong Bao hurriedly said.
He truly didn’t know what the Snake Ancestor intended. Logically speaking, the Snake Ancestor shouldn’t leave the Ancestral Temple for such a trivial matter, should it?
In fact, even the Old Snake itself felt perplexed. Generally speaking, though a Beast Tamer’s death will not instantly kill their Pet Beast, under a Soul Contract, it will not last very long either. But there are exceptions. For instance, if the Pet Beast has reached the Spirit Saint Level and the Beast Tamer dies a natural death, consuming a large amount of precious resources can significantly reduce the damage caused by the Soul Contract. The Old Snake had been with the Rong Family for many years and had witnessed much. It had been exposed to countless resources; at its Level, it was hard to be casually affected by anything. Yet, at this moment, it felt a very abrupt attraction to a certain aura. Though it was only a fleeting glimpse, it still managed to unsettle its mind.
So, the Old Snake thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Chun’s son… why don’t you take me to see? Handing over the Egg of the Five Saints to an outsider, I have to see for myself to be reassured.”
“Yes…”
Poison in the blood?
Even without Rong Mang speaking, Rong Cheng, having figured out what had happened, recovered his senses. He looked incredulously at the bizarre, emerald-like Forest Wolf.
This creature, was it actually a mutated Poison Type Pet Beast?
What was even more baffling to him was how this mere Third Rank Commander Level Forest Wolf could not only show immunity to the poison of his Peak Commander Level Blood Mosquito, but also how just a single drop of its blood was enough to knock down Bloodthirst. This was illogical. What kind of help had the Family Head given this fellow? How did this strange Pet Beast acquire such ability?
Rong Cheng didn’t understand. But at this moment, there were even more things he couldn’t comprehend, such as the cluelessness of the medical Beast Tamer from the family’s medical team, who had cast numerous detoxification spells on the Corrupted Blood Mosquito.
“Young Master Rong Cheng, I can’t counteract the poison in the Corrupted Blood Mosquito!”
Indeed, at this moment, the Corrupted Blood Mosquito that had ingested Xiao Qing’s blood was not only directly felled by the poison, but even the medical Beast Tamer from the most proficient medical team, using their special detoxifying Commander Level Pet Beast, the ’Evil-Banishing Sea Star,’ couldn’t reverse its condition with their spells.
What were they to do?
At this point, the outcome of the Beast Taming battle didn’t need further discussion. The Corrupted Blood Mosquito had been felled, and undoubtedly, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
Su Ping also felt rather speechless. It now seemed that even he had somewhat underestimated Xiao Qing’s combat abilities before. The potency of this Poison Type ability was astoundingly strong. Of course, it was highly probable that this was due to Xiao Qing absorbing the essence from the Biyao Chunshen’s remains during this period. The mutating source aura from the Biyao Chunshen had caused changes and differences in Xiao Qing’s body that even the Eye of Truth currently seemed unable to discern.
Although Su Ping had long wanted to teach a lesson to these Rong Family juniors who had constantly wagged their tongues, he didn’t really intend to take the life of their Pet Beast.
Thinking this, Su Ping waved to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing approached the Corrupted Blood Mosquito. Then, having just advanced to achieve ’Perfection Level,’ Xiao Qing slowly activated its Heart of the Poison Wood. After reaching Perfection Level, Xiao Qing’s ability to draw upon Poison Type power within a certain range had reached an incredibly meticulous degree, among other improvements.
The purplish-green hue spread over the Corrupted Blood Mosquito’s body gradually coalesced, becoming much more concentrated. Then, it seeped out from the body once again.
As expected, the ultimate source of the poison was that drop of the Forest Wolf’s blood assimilated by the Corrupted Blood Mosquito. This time, as the drop of blood slid away, the Poison Energy within it revealed its true form. It was an incredibly tiny, bizarre, purple-green flower hidden within the fresh blood.
Poison Flower!
A Poison Flower of Perfection Level could be condensed by Xiao Qing through any medium, even its own fresh blood.
Seeing that this strange, purplish-green flower was what had almost caused his own Bloodthirst to kick the bucket, Rong Cheng instinctively took a few steps back. What kind of toxicity is this?
Meanwhile, the Corrupted Blood Mosquito, ’Bloodthirst,’ finally, faintly regained consciousness. Then, it saw the terrifying Forest Wolf squatting beside it. Its normally malevolent and cunning hexagonal compound eyes instantly filled with terror. BUZZING loudly, it hid behind Rong Cheng, avoiding Xiao Qing as if it were a viper or scorpion.
It was a Poison Type Pet Beast that controlled blood. But how could it cope if its opponent’s Pet Beast’s blood was also lethally poisonous?
Thus, the Corrupted Blood Mosquito grew timid. Even after realizing that this very Forest Wolf had saved it once more, the big red mosquito showed no integrity whatsoever. Ignoring its master’s gaze, it flew over again, BUZZING around Xiao Qing, seemingly trying to curry favor with this great Poison King in disguise!
Su Ping watched calmly. He was about to ask Rong Cheng if he wanted to continue, perhaps with a group Beast Taming battle or something similar. This battle isn’t satisfying enough!
However, just then, a turquoise shadow transformed into a bolt of lightning, appearing in the center of the arena instantaneously. When this lightning-fast shadow came to a halt, all the older generation members of the Rong Family watching from a distance stared wide-eyed.
At this moment, most of the younger generation beside the arena looked puzzled. They had, of course, seen the Family Head before. But this turquoise giant python currently before them—what was it?
However, the younger generation might not know, but some of the elders did. Thus, numerous figures hurried over. Yet at this moment, no one dared to disturb the Snake Ancestor’s sudden appearance. They didn’t even understand or comprehend why the Snake Ancestor would appear here.
Simultaneously, a few breaths after this shadow materialized, Rong Bao also appeared beside the turquoise figure.
Su Ping was a bit bewildered, and Xiao Qing, which had been squatting before him, was so frightened it retreated several steps. Because, at this moment, the giant turquoise python’s gaze was fixed firmly on it.
Then, the giant turquoise python said nothing. It thought for a moment, glanced at the residual Poison Flower on the ground, then picked it up with its mouth and swallowed it.
The Old Snake remained silent. Then, looking at Xiao Qing, although the strange attraction had weakened considerably, a part of it still remained. However, this was Su Ping’s Pet Beast, so it couldn’t intervene further. Nevertheless, the Old Snake could always sense an inexplicable sense of comfort from this little wolf. This feeling even made it want to stay by the little wolf’s side.
And after consuming the Poison Flower and sensing Xiao Qing’s incredibly special toxicity, the Old Snake, under everyone’s gaze, suddenly spoke in human language. It unexpectedly said to Rong Bao, who was standing aside, “Xiao Bao, why don’t you ask your grandson this: if you were to abdicate the position of Rong Family Head now, would he be willing to stay with the Rong Family permanently?”
