Chapter 65: The Survival of the Fittest

"Yiran, since His Majesty has already bestowed this Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent upon you, why don't you absorb it quickly?" In order to avoid any accidents or Ye Cheng changing his mind, the serpent grandmother urged her granddaughter.

"good."

Meng Yiran nodded, then took her martial spirit snake staff in her hand, twisted her waist and walked towards the unconscious Phoenix-tail Crest Serpent.

The Shrek people who were originally gathered around the Phoenix-tailed Crest Serpent, when they saw her coming, naturally made way. They didn't even dare to fart. After all, the big boss Ye Cheng had already said that this snake was given to Meng Yiran. What else did they dare to say? Are you going to die?

Meng Yiran came to the unconscious Crest Serpent, raised the two-meter-long snake staff in his hand, and stabbed the Crest Serpent at its vital points.

"laugh!"

The sharp snake staff easily pierced the defenseless Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's vitals, and its body instinctively twitched a few times before it lost its life painlessly in a coma.

A circle of purple soul ring condensed into shape and slowly floated above the corpse of the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent.

Meng Yiran turned his head to look at his grandmother, and when he saw her nod, he finally stopped hesitating and sat down cross-legged on the ground, placing the Wuhun Snake Staff on his knees.

Then, guided by the soul power, the purple soul ring slowly floated over and merged into her body.

Oscar looked at the spirit ring that should have belonged to him, which was integrated into Meng Yiran's body, with resentment on his face, and gritted his teeth in anger. But he could do nothing about it.

And seeing that everything is a foregone conclusion.

Ye Cheng felt that there was no need to stay here any longer. Anyway, the soul ring was already being absorbed by Meng Yiran, and Zhao Wuji would not risk offending the dragon and the snake to interrupt it. In this case, they should continue to look for the soul beast.

"Walk."

Ye Cheng looked back at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, motioning them to follow him, then he chose a direction and walked away.

Seeing Ye Cheng and the other two preparing to leave, Shepo, Zhao Wuji and the others couldn't help but feel relieved. Even though this person was very kind and didn't show any hostility, staying with such a big man who could take their lives with just one move would make anyone feel boundless pressure!

"Farewell, Your Majesty."

The Serpent Grandmother and Zhao Wuji hurriedly shouted.

Ye Cheng did not make any response, leaving the two with only an unfathomable back.

Wherever he passed, the thorn bushes automatically separated into a path. There was no fluctuation of soul power, as if it was a simple natural law. It seemed as if even the forest was afraid of his power and made way for him!

Watching the figures of a man and two women going away, everyone at the scene had different looks.

The Serpent Grandmother, Zhao Wuji, Oscar, Ma Hongjun and others were all amazed at his power.

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing's back with jealousy and reluctance, as if he had red eyes.

Tang San seemed to see his future self in Ye Cheng. After all, he was also a twin spirit owner. As long as he could control the conflict between the two spirits, when he became a Titled Douluo, he would be able to add nine 100,000-year spirit rings to the other spirit like Ye Cheng did!

These spirit rings will bring him a huge amount of spirit power, saving him countless hard work and allowing him to directly become a top spirit master!

Therefore, Tang San believes that he has a promising future!

"Sister Chao, since this spirit ring has been found, we won't stay here for long." Zhao Wuji watched the backs of Ye Cheng and the other two disappear before turning around to look at the Serpent Grandmother, clasping his fists and saying, "Goodbye!"

"Well, I won't see you off then." The Serpent Grandmother nodded, feeling relieved that Zhao Wuji was leaving. To be honest, although according to normal logic, Zhao Wuji would definitely not risk offending the couple to interfere with his granddaughter's absorption. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

While Zhao Wuji and others are staying here, Serpent Grandmother needs to be vigilant at all times, especially those young students who may do something irrational in the heat of the moment.

Now that they are gone, the Serpent Grandmother can finally relax and concentrate on protecting her granddaughter.

"Let's go."

Zhao Wuji glanced at Meng Yiran who was still absorbing the spirit ring, and said nothing more. He waved his hand and signaled several students to follow. He chose a place in the opposite direction of Ye Cheng and led them away.

And watched as the few people gradually walked away until their figures completely disappeared.

The Serpent Grandmother then breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head to look at his granddaughter who was still absorbing the spirit ring, wondering how long it would take to finish absorbing it, he thought about what happened today and couldn't help but feel lucky. Otherwise, if he wanted to get this spirit ring, he probably wouldn't know what kind of twists and turns it would take.

The other side.

Shrek and his friends.

Zhao Wuji led the way, and Tang San and the other three followed behind him. None of them said a word, and the atmosphere in the team seemed very silent!

"Teacher Zhao, are we just going to let it go like this?" After holding it in for a long time, Ma Hongjun finally couldn't help but ask.

"Then what do you want?" Zhao Wuji glanced at him and said unhappily, "The soul ring has been absorbed. Do you still want to fight it out again, or revive the snake and kill it again?"

"No, what I meant is that we were chasing that snake…" Ma Hongjun quickly explained, "In the end, it was just… given to that old woman. I feel like we lost out."

"What if I lose a lot?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head helplessly and said, "This world is just like this, the strong prey on the weak. Today we are not as skilled as them, so of course we can only admit defeat. Otherwise, do you still want to interfere with that little girl's absorption of the spirit ring?"

Ma Hongjun nodded his head when he heard this. He was just so angry that he couldn't let Meng Yiran have an easy time by absorbing the spirit ring so smoothly.

Zhao Wuji saw him like this, and he slapped him on the forehead in anger. There was a crisp sound, and Ma Hongjun's head was dizzy and he was completely stunned.

"You little brat, there is no benefit from doing this, except that you can vent your anger for a while. On the contrary, you will be retaliated by the dragon and the snake!"

"If you can't hold back your anger for a moment, you're destined to never achieve anything in the future." Zhao Wuji said earnestly.

Tang San and the others listened to Zhao Wuji's warning, all with thoughtful looks on their faces.

…

Ye Cheng led Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to walk through the woods. Wherever they passed, the surrounding plants automatically made way for people to walk. After they left, the woods returned to normal.

As he walked, Ye Cheng summoned the system in his mind, preparing to use the system's search function to search for the soul beast he was going to hunt.

All creatures that are locked by the question-and-answer system, whether they are humans, soul beasts, or any other race, as long as their IQ is above the passing line, they are within the range of the question-and-answer system. And the IQ of that soul beast, as far as Ye Cheng knows, is definitely above the passing line, and it definitely meets the system's locking standards. One search, one result.
