Chapter 26 Tang Kun's Doubts, Tang Yu's Lies
After more than a dozen flashes in space, Tang Yu finally found a crack leading to the outside world.
As soon as Tang Yu returned to the surface of the Sunset Mountains, he headed straight for the entrance they had just entered the mountains.
He knew his grandfather must be extremely worried.
Fortunately, after only a few spatial flashes, he found the entrance to the mountain range he had just entered and immediately saw the extremely anxious Tang Kun.
"Xiaoyu!" Tang Kun rushed forward, grabbed Tang Yu's shoulder, and looked him up and down.
"Are you alright? What happened just now? How did you suddenly disappear? And your wings..."
Tang Kun bombarded him with questions, his eyes filled with worry and lingering fear.
Tang Yu felt a warmth in his heart.
"Grandpa, I'm fine. On the contrary, I've had a great opportunity." He briefly recounted the events of the underground space, which, of course, was made up by Tang Yu.
It is said that there is an underground space in this mountain range, where a million-year-old dragon soul beast—the Golden Winged Dragon—lives.
The golden pterosaur was nearing the end of its life. When we entered the mountains, it sensed the extraordinary aura emanating from me and wanted to sacrifice itself to me, giving me its dragon core.
However, all of this comes with a condition: I must strive to become a god and, once I do, resurrect him; otherwise, the soul power he retains on the dragon pill will perish with me.
After listening to Tang Yu's account, Tang Kun was dumbfounded, feeling both happy and worried. This was too surreal.
"A million-year-old soul beast sacrificed?"
"Become a god?"
"Dragon Pill?"
This is unbelievable to anyone who has done this.
"Really?" Tang Kun asked again, somewhat doubtful. Logically speaking, if it was a million-year-old soul beast sacrifice, why did his grandson's soul power only increase by one level?
Sensing his grandfather's doubts, Tang Yu released his martial soul and soul rings.
At this moment, the Golden Haotian Hammer is very different from before. Previously, the surface of the Golden Haotian Hammer was smooth, but now it is covered with dragon scales, and its luster is brighter.
At this moment, Tang Kun calmed down and began to take a good look at his grandson. His body had become taller and stronger, and his martial soul had also changed.
Moreover, this golden spirit ring is indeed different from ordinary hundred-year spirit rings.
Looking again at the enormous wings on his grandson's back, Tang Kun honestly believed it now.
After all, Tang Yu's changes happened in a very short period of time, so there was no reason not to believe him.
"It's both a blessing and a curse!" Tang Kun couldn't help but sigh.
But he quickly calmed down and his expression became serious.
"Xiaoyu, don't mention this again. Grandpa doesn't know anything about it. And please don't tell anyone else. Don't let a third person know."
"You know what?"
"You should know that a million-year spirit ring and an external spirit bone are both enough to drive the entire spirit master world crazy. You must keep it a secret until you have enough strength."
"I understand, Grandpa," Tang Yu nodded.
Looking at his grandson, Tang Kun still felt it was all very unreal and he was very confused, but he did not continue to ask questions. Everyone has their own opportunities and secrets.
Tang Kun patted Tang Yu on the shoulder and said softly:
"The path to godhood is as difficult as ascending to heaven for us; the rest of the journey depends on yourself."
After saying that, Tang Kun looked straight into the distance, and a tall, imposing figure appeared in his mind.
"Uncle, are you alright? If you were here, perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened at Haotian Sect," Tang Kun murmured to himself.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Seeing his grandfather's melancholy expression, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing," Tang Kun shook his head.
"Now that you've obtained your first spirit ring, let's go back," Tang Kun said. "The sect's relocation is imminent, and there are still many things to prepare."
"it is good."
Although Tang Yu was still a little reluctant, since the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had not yet been found, he still agreed.
Although we didn't find the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the million-year soul ring and external soul bone we gained today are far more valuable than finding the so-called Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Just as Tang Kun and his grandson Tang Yu were preparing to leave the Sunset Mountains, a sharp, piercing roar suddenly came from the depths of the forest.
That sharp roar was not the roar of an ordinary soul beast. The sound contained a kind of cold and eerie power that pierced through the dense forest and went straight to the eardrums.
Even the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment, carrying a faint, fishy, and rotten smell.
"That cry... seems to come from Medusa, the Queen of Snakes?" Tang Kun's expression changed slightly. As a Title Douluo, his understanding of soul beasts far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he immediately recognized the source of the sound.
"And judging from its imposing presence, it's at least an 80,000-year-old Medusa Queen! Who would dare provoke such a troublesome being?"
Medusa! Over 80,000 years old!
Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat, and the records in the "Soul Beast Compendium" instantly flashed into his mind.
A top-tier existence among snake-type soul beasts, possessing some ancient Medusa bloodline, its gaze talent can temporarily petrify its target, its venom is potent, and it is cunning and treacherous.
More importantly, based on this information, Tang Yu immediately thought of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Based on the timeline, Dugu Bo should not have broken through level 90 yet at this time, and should be busy obtaining his ninth soul ring.
In the original story, his ninth spirit ring came from a Medusa!
"Grandpa, let's go take a look!" Tang Yu said urgently. "It's probably a Soul Master hunting Soul Beasts. Maybe we can help."
Tang Kun hesitated for a moment: "Xiao Yu, it's better to avoid trouble. We should go back to the sect."
"Grandpa, the sect is about to relocate. If we can befriend a powerful Soul Master, it will greatly benefit the sect's future."
Tang Yu analyzed carefully,
"Moreover, being able to fight against a poison-attribute soul beast like Medusa, which is 80,000 years old, means that the user is at least a Soul Douluo-level expert."
"Moreover, it's very likely that he has just broken through to the Title Douluo level and is currently hunting for his ninth spirit ring. If we help him successfully hunt a spirit beast, we can at least gain a favor from him."
Tang Kun took a deep look at his grandson and suddenly realized that this six-year-old child's thinking was far more comprehensive than that of his peers, and even comparable to some adults.
"You're right," Tang Kun nodded, "but remember, safety comes first."
Without further delay, the two sped off in the direction from which the sound came.
Tang Kun unleashed the speed of a Title Douluo, carrying Tang Yu as swiftly through the forest.
It moved so fast that it left a faint afterimage in the forest.
Tang Yu felt the wind whistling past his ears, and the scenery on both sides rushed past him.
Within a few breaths, the two had approached the edge of the battlefield.
The scene before us was quite horrific.
A clearing in the woods, spanning several hundred meters in diameter, has been completely destroyed. The trees are charred and broken, the ground is uneven and covered with a layer of grayish-white stone chips and foul-smelling poison.
In the center of the open space, a huge creature was writhing wildly.
It was a giant snake over twenty meters long, its entire body covered with diamond-shaped scales that were a mix of dark purple and pale green, reflecting an eerie luster in the sunlight filtering through the trees.
Its upper body vaguely resembles the outline of a human female.
Its arms are long and slender, with sharp claws on its palms, and its long hair is made up of countless hissing, venomous snakes.
The most terrifying thing is its eyes—there are no pupils, only two constantly spinning, ghastly green vortexes. Even a glimpse of them out of the corner of one's eye is enough to make one feel slightly stiff.
It was none other than Queen Medusa, who was 80,000 years old!
