Chapter 777: Beast Forest

  Sorry about this, something came up these past few days, so the update is late tonight!

  Xuanyuan relied on his own skills, very nimbly rummaging through the bodies of countless dead people. For Xuanyuan, who was a beggar in his previous life, doing this kind of thing was the most normal thing to do.

  "Wow, this isn't easy!" Xuan Yuan exclaimed as he rummaged through the corpses' pockets, counting their belongings. "What kind of family is this? Each guard is at least at the Dou Huang realm! Tsk tsk, 3 million Dou Wang coins! 98 Red Ling Snake inner elixirs, 10 Five-Color Ling Snake inner elixirs... and some bottles and jars too, that's a lot of money! And they just left it all here? At least take the money and elixirs with you!"

  "But then again, it seems that these families are quite wealthy, so finding a substitute for the offering shouldn't be difficult, right? With a strong Douzong leading the way, passing through this snake forest should be an easy task. Why must so many Doukang guards sacrifice themselves?" Xuan Yuan sighed.

  "You little brat, this is a bloody path that was fought for with lives. Look at the surroundings and the battle situation back then - it was brutal. Life is the most important thing, who could have cared about these things?! They were fighting to buy time, to break through this snake-infested forest."

  The greedy old man directly despised Xuan Yuan:

  "The forest of 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' is called Wan Shou Lin, which is extremely vast and covers an area of tens of thousands of miles. Inside, there are countless ferocious beasts. Dragon Fighting City is located in the midst of Wan Shou Lin, making it the closest place to 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion'. According to the rules of 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion', those who want to join cannot find a strong guardian above the Dragon King realm; otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves. Later, facts proved that this piece of Wan Shou Lin is indeed terrifying. Once, a Dragon Emperor guarded a young master of a family, but it attracted the ferocious beasts of the Dragon Emperor realm. You can imagine, if a Dragon Crazy or Dragon King realm person guards, even if they attract a Dragon King-level ferocious beast, the protected person's chance of survival would be slightly higher. But once you reach the Dragon Ancestor or Dragon Emperor realm, just the residual aura is enough to sweep away people in the Dragon Crazy realm like dust, and it's also difficult for those in the Dragon King realm to withstand. Which one do you think is easier?"

  Upon hearing the old man's words, Xuan Yuan took another deep breath of cold air. He had originally thought that there was only this one forest, but he hadn't expected that it would actually cover tens of thousands of miles. What a vast scale! The grandeur of 'Doulou Xianfu' suddenly appeared in Xuan Yuan's mind.

  "Is it really that bad?" Xuan Yuan asked subconsciously.

  "Of course, one of the three major powers in Dongzhou, with a heritage that has been passed down for countless years, and is naturally immortal. If I'm not mistaken, all the ferocious beasts in this Wan Shou Lin are raised by 'Dou Long Xian Fu'." said Greedy Old Man.

  Xuanyuan took a deep breath and said no more, his feet clad in "Treading Dragon Boots". Since someone had paved the way for him, he simply followed behind. Who knew what lay ahead after traversing this sea of snakes? It seemed that becoming a disciple of the "Dueling Dragons Sect" was not going to be easy.

  "Don't worry, the ferocious beasts in the Wan Shou Lin, since they are raised by the 'Dou Long Xian Fu', they will all know the rules of the 'Dou Long Xian Fu'. They won't attack those who are weaker than themselves. Although they have a sufficient advantage in numbers, it's worth noting that the quality of disciples recruited by the 'Dou Long Xian Fu' is very high. Anyone who can survive is someone who has been through a bloody and brutal process, requiring great trials in terms of strength, wisdom, and willpower. Do you think those young masters from wealthy families won't be intimidated when they see people die to protect them? The fewer the number of people, the closer they are to death. Those who can survive are not ordinary people."

  The old man's words gave Xuan Yuan a great shock, he didn't expect that an arrangement of entering the 'Dòu Lóng Xiān Fǔ' would actually contain so much truth, it seems that after entering the 'Dòu Lóng Xiān Fǔ', he will inevitably have to confront these people who have experienced life and death trials head-on.

  "In fact, you want to pass through the trials set by 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion', it's very easy, as long as you take out the 'Dragon Fighting True Manual' which has the unique 'Dragon Fighting Immortal Mansion' pressure on it, and can even command the ferocious beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest to fight for you."

  "No need, only through the baptism of blood can one grow faster. I don't want to enter 'Doulou Xianfu' in such a situation. I will definitely kill my way out and you, this greedy old man, probably also want to absorb the essence of the fierce beast, how can I not satisfy you?" Xuan Yuan burst into loud laughter.

  "I'm not an old man..." The greedy old man shrieked again.

  "Haha, dead old man..." Xuan Yuan rushed along the way, and once again started arguing with the greedy old man. Along the way, whenever they encountered a corpse, they would loot it clean.

  "I'm not an old man! You little brat must have gone mad, as the heir of the 'Great Devourer', it's fine to occasionally sweep up some scraps, but now you're actually sweeping through everything in your path? This behavior is too humiliating!"

  "What's wrong? How is it? Don't you agree? I'm telling you, if you don't agree, it won't do! I don't have such a strong background, I can only rely on myself. What can 'the Great Emperor' do? Isn't he dead? If a dead person sends me money, why shouldn't I take it?"

  "Kid, do you know what it means to be overbearing? It means to swallow everything, plunder everything, that's what it means to be domineering!"

  "Bully you to death, I'll bully your sister too. With my current strength, come and seek death? The 'Devouring Emperor' didn't become an emperor in one mouthful, did he?"

  "That's also true."

  "Old man, can you tell me if I'll be as strong as 'The Devouring Emperor' in the future?"

  "Fart, just you? Far from it. Do you know how many strange encounters the 'Devouring Emperor' has had? How many times have they faced life and death? Each time was a narrow escape, devouring countless divine techniques. Is that something you can compare to?"

  "What's wrong with me? I'll definitely be stronger than 'Devouring Emperor' in the future, and then I'll be called 'Xuanyuan Emperor', how about that, isn't it cool?"

  "Hmm, this title is quite impressive, but you're still just a kid, and you're off by 1.8 billion miles. Being able to protect yourself from death is already not bad, I think you're also someone with a short life span."

  "I won't live long, and neither will you. Before I die, I'll definitely make sure to take care of you." Xuan Yuan said with malice.

  "Damn it, you sneaky little brat!" The greedy old man shouted. "No more nonsense, be careful, there's a very strong Dou Qi fluctuation ahead, and many people are still there, over a hundred!"

  The greedy old man's current strength has increased, and his senses are extremely sharp. Xuan Yuanming can't see anything yet, but the greedy old man has already sounded the alarm.

  Xuanyuan rushed for more than 20 miles, and the corpses on the road were scattered all over, nearly a hundred of them. Xuanyuan didn't let any of them go, and harvested a total of 420,000 Douwang coins, 21 five-colored spiritual snake inner elixirs, but there were no longer any bottles or jars left. It seemed that walking to this place had caused a huge consumption of the medicinal pellets on their bodies.

  The ground was littered with the remains of the five-colored spiritual snakes, as well as human corpses that had been corroded to the point where their bones were visible. The giant trees that had been shattered by the Dou Qi and the deep pits that had been blasted out by it made the scene even more gruesome than before.

  Xuanyuan looked into the distance and finally saw a five-colored spirit snake with two legs as thick as a thigh, about ten meters long, with a huge head, eyes as big as fists, and a bright red tongue sticking out, making a chilling hissing sound.

  Apart from the Five-Colored Spirit Snake, nearly a hundred people, holding various weapons and wearing all sorts of magical treasures, were at least Lower-Grade Earth-Ranked Battle-Crazy Guards, and they were currently engaged in a fierce battle with these Five-Colored Spirit Snakes that had five-colored scales covering their bodies.

  Just as Xuan Yuan appeared tens of meters away from them, many people had already set their sights on him, each with furrowed brows, clearly not having a good impression of him.

  However, the battle was even more intense, and they didn't have any way to care about Xuan Yuan at all. To them, Xuan Yuan's strength in the Dou Ling realm wasn't worth mentioning.

  Xuan Yuan watched as the battle unfolded, a Long Knife in the hand of a Dou Wang sliced out a golden Dou Qi whip, cutting a five-colored spirit snake in half. The tail of the bisected snake flailed about, each swing containing at least forty flying dragon's worth of force, causing the earth to be overturned. Meanwhile, the snake head that had originally closed its eyes suddenly opened them wide and bit down on the thigh of a Dou Kuang peak expert who was fighting another five-colored spirit snake, injecting potent venom into him. The powerful warrior died within a minute.

  Neither side would give in, each trying to outdo the other.

  Just as Xuan Yuan was getting closer and closer to their battlefield, a stern shout came:

  "Who comes here? Get out quickly! Otherwise, no pardon will be given!"
