Chapter 36 Titanoboa
Seeing that his son had obtained a satisfactory spirit ring, Yang Zhentian said, "Son, let's get ready to go back now. We've been out for several days."
"Dad, let's not go back this time. I want to train in Sunset Forest for a while."
Yang Zhentian asked, somewhat puzzled, "Son, you're already a Great Soul Master, almost old enough to participate in Soul Battles. The Soul Battle Arena is relatively safer, so why do you want to train in Sunset Forest?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment, then couldn't help but think to himself: I can't exactly tell you that I'm looking for the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, can I?
"Dad, I feel a special connection to Sunset Forest, as if there's something there that's particularly appealing to me."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhentian became interested. Before the last battle of Haotian Sect, his son insisted on leaving the sect for Tiandou City because he felt danger, which saved the family from loss. Could the situation be similar this time?
"Son, what exactly are you feeling? What's attracting you? Could it be some kind of illusion spell cast by a spirit beast?"
"Dad, if I'm under a hallucination spell, wouldn't you be able to tell? You're a Soul Saint, after all."
After discussing it for a while, the two finally agreed to train in the Sunset Forest.
Yang Podi carefully reviewed the original text. It seems that the original text did not describe the specific location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The only description was that it was surrounded by poisonous barriers, some of which were created by Dugu Bo. The well itself should also have a lot of poisonous gas, otherwise it would not have been discovered for tens of thousands of years.
If we search for places with poisonous gas, we might find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
And so, the two trained in the Sunset Forest. Even when they reached the core area of the Sunset Forest, they couldn't find any place where poisonous gas was gathered. They probably discovered many very powerful soul beasts, the oldest of which were seventy or eighty thousand years old. The two were so frightened that they left quickly.
This level of soul beast is not something a mere Soul Saint can handle; even a Title Douluo would find it quite difficult.
As for encountering ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there are even more of them. They encounter several every day, and there are also quite a few power-type soul beasts. Unfortunately, neither of them has such a need for the time being. Their father is only level 76 now, and it will probably take him several more years to reach the Soul Douluo level.
One day, as the two were passing through a swamp, they both stopped at the same time.
"Dad, don't you think this area is very strange? Normally, even in a swamp, there should be quite a few soul beasts around, but why is it so quiet here? There isn't even the sound of insects chirping."
Yang Zhentian didn't speak, but instead took his son's hand and quietly retreated until they were out of the swamp. Only then did he speak: "Son, you were right. That swamp was indeed very strange. There was probably something extraordinary hidden inside."
Yang Poti thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how about we send a live soul beast over to test it out? That way we can be more careful in the future."
"Son, that's a good idea. Wait a moment while we go catch a little soul beast."
After saying that, Yang Zhentian and his son caught a Soft-Boned Rabbit. Soft-Boned Rabbits are very common spirit beasts in the forest, with an extremely high reproductive rate, almost impossible to eradicate. They could even be considered a pest in some smaller spirit beast forests, but at the same time, they are a relatively common source of meat for the residents of Douluo Continent. After all, compared to other spirit beasts, Soft-Boned Rabbits seem to have no other advantages besides being fast.
Thinking of this, Yang Podi couldn't help but complain again: With the Soft Bone Rabbit's survival ability, how did Xiao Wu and her mother become 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest? You should know that 100,000-year-old soul beasts are coveted not only by humans, but also by other soul beasts.
What we caught was a ten-year-old soft-boned rabbit. After we caught it, the rabbit's whole body seemed to tremble a little, especially after we got closer to the swamp.
Yang Zhentian threw the Soft Bone Rabbit into the swamp like a javelin. The Soft Bone Rabbit in the center of the swamp was trembling as if it had encountered a great terror.
Suddenly, a gigantic head emerged from the swamp and swallowed the Soft-Boned Rabbit whole. This head was five meters long, with two eyes the size of lanterns, sharp teeth in its mouth, and even two small horns growing from its top.
"Dad, what is this? It looks really scary."
Hearing his son's question, Yang Zhentian swallowed hard: "Son, it's a good thing we're far away, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."
"That thing just now should be a Titan Python, the ultimate among pythons. Judging from the size of its head, this Titan Python may be over a hundred meters long, and it might even be a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast."
"The Titan Python is rather lazy and doesn't like to come out to hunt. It prefers to hibernate and hide in cold, damp places. That large swamp was probably its territory. No wonder there were no other spirit beasts around."
"The Titan Python is incredibly powerful, even comparable to that of a typical bear-type spirit beast. Moreover, its body temperature can change according to the environment, which even a Title Douluo might not be able to detect."
Hearing this, Yang Podi felt a chill of fear. There were actually soul beasts of this level in Sunset Forest?
"Dad, since this Titan Python is so powerful, why doesn't anyone want to catch it? After all, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is priceless."
"Son, think about it, how big is this swamp? There might even be snake dens underneath. Hunting it will probably be very difficult."
"Dad, how venomous is the Titanoboa?"
"The Titanoboa's venom is quite ordinary; our family can cure it. Son, why are you suddenly interested in poisons? How about we go back and I teach you how to concoct poisons?"
"Son, let's leave here first. This area is too dangerous. Let me find a safe place first." So, the two of them moved away from the swamp. Although the Titan Python was relatively far away, it would still be troublesome if it sensed their presence.
After the two left, they found an open space. Hearing what they had just said, Yang Podi was speechless. Although he had come into contact with knowledge of alchemy and poison making in the past two years, Yang Podi never made any himself, not even touching them, and never thought of developing in this direction.
His father and grandfather had always wanted to guide him in this direction, since it was one of the foundations of the Broken Clan.
"Son, why don't we go back first? This Sunset Forest might be more dangerous than we imagined."
Yang Podi thought carefully for a while before finally speaking: "Dad, my main purpose in going into Sunset Forest this time is to see if I can find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? How is that possible? Although the existence of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire is indeed recorded in the book, no one has ever discovered it, and it may not even be in Sunset Forest."
The ancient texts of the Broken Clan also contain records of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but these are only brief mentions, and almost no one believes in its existence.
