's plot changes; Tang 3 is no match for the Mandragora Serpent.
Chapter 7: Plot Changes, Tang San Loses to the Mandragora Serpent
A rustling sound reached the ears of the three, and a faint fishy smell filled the air.
A triangular snake head slowly rose up from the bushes.
"Godfather, there he is!"
Tang San quickly took a tinderbox from his pocket and threw it over.
The bushes were illuminated by the fire pyrography.
"Mandala snake!"
Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted instantly.
"How could such a ferocious creature appear on the outskirts?"
"Hopefully, it will be a ten-year journey."
"If it's a hundred-year-old thing, then we have no choice but to run away."
As he watched the segments of the datura snake emerge, his panic grew.
A century, and more than a century!
"His farts are like thunder, deafening and earth-shattering."
Yu Xiaogang quickly gave the order, and Luo Sanpao's body swelled up rapidly, exploding towards the Mandala Snake with a loud bang.
"Run!"
He shouted and pulled Tang San and Ye Lin, running quickly backward.
The datura snake was blasted away by Luo Sanpao's cannon, but it was not harmed at all. It approached the three of them again at an extremely fast speed, and was already close in the blink of an eye.
"Farts are like smoke, hypnotizing and sedating Luo Sanpao!"
Yu Xiaogang's second spirit ring flashed, and Luo Sanpao immediately opened his mouth and took another deep breath.
Ye Lin said quietly, "Did it just suck back in the fart it just let out?"
"Cough cough cough,"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly started coughing violently, turning the tense situation into something somewhat comical.
Ye Lin wasn't nervous at all, because the matter of resolving the issue of the datura in the plot had absolutely nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang.
The hypnotic fart was released, but it was completely useless, as the venom of the datura snake was far, far more potent than this hypnotic poison.
The datura snake quickly approached and lunged to bite Yu Xiaogang.
"Sanpao, block it!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's voice, Luo Sanpao leaped up and charged towards the datura snake.
The datura snake swayed its body, bypassing Luo Sanpao's impact, and at the same time bit him.
"Luo!"
Luo Sanpao let out a miserable scream and transformed into a purple stream of light, returning to Yu Xiaogang's body.
The Mandragora Serpent approached again. In the original storyline, Tang San could use the White Radish to counterattack, but now the White Radish was still in the bag in the hollow.
Now, all he can use is his silent hidden arrow.
Tang San's eyes turned completely purple, making it easier for him to detect the movements of the Mandragora Snake.
He raised his left hand, and a silent dart shot towards the serpent's left eye.
"I won!"
He was immediately overjoyed.
But just as the hidden arrow was about to strike, the Mandala Snake blinked and clamped the hidden arrow tightly between its eyelids.
Tang San's heart skipped a beat; he was doomed!
He no longer had any weapons, not even the short sword that Yu Xiaogang had given him.
Ye Lin was stunned for a moment; this script didn't seem right!
Something has changed!
Ye Lin released her grip on Yu Xiaogang's hand.
She hurriedly gathered her soul power and concentrated it in her right hand, transforming it into a martial soul immortal sword.
When the sword appeared, an invisible aura quickly spread outwards.
The oppressive aura emanating from the Legend of Sword and Fairy.
The datura snake paused for a moment before charging forward again.
Ye Lin threw the immortal sword in her hand directly at the Mandala Serpent.
In the original story, the datura snake bit the blade, and the sword pierced its brain from the inside.
It was clear that the sword did not enter the mouth of the datura serpent; it simply landed on its body. Even so, the sharp blade still caused the datura serpent to groan in pain.
The immortal sword thrown by Ye Lin landed on the Datura serpent...
"Change 'body' to 'mouth' for me." Ye Lin hurriedly activated the system to change the plot.
The immortal sword quickly changed, transforming into a stream of light that landed on the snake's mouth.
She was immediately embarrassed.
The immortal sword thrown by Ye Lin landed in the mouth of the mandrake serpent...
"Revise again!"
"Change '将上' to '内'!"
The datura serpent opened its mouth strangely and bit down on the immortal sword.
"puff!"
The datura serpent's body suddenly stiffened; the immortal sword had pierced its brain completely from the inside.
Its body tumbled wildly, destroying bushes and small trees, scattering branches and leaves everywhere.
Ye Lin turned and ran without looking back, only breathing heavily when she was out of its range of death struggle.
That scared me to death.
The datura serpent died, and a yellow, century-old soul ring slowly condensed from its head.
Ye Lin stared at the century-old spirit ring and murmured to herself, "It seems that my first spirit ring has been secured. I can't let this go to waste."
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang, holding Tang San's hand, had already run dozens of meters away, both of them breathing heavily.
"It's alright now, that soul beast didn't chase after us."
Tang San suddenly realized a major problem: "Where is Ye Lin?!"
"Um!"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and looked to his right, only to find it empty.
"Could she have been eaten by a datura snake?"
"This is my fault. Let's hurry up so the mandala snake doesn't catch up with us again. I will reflect on this matter."
"We shouldn't let Ye Lin down."
Ye Lin, who was walking slowly from behind, heard Yu Xiaogang's words and her face immediately turned ugly.
"Masters, what are you talking about?"
Yu Xiaogang froze again. He turned around stiffly. "It's nothing."
"Ye Lin, why did you let go of my hand just now?"
He started by asking accusingly, "Do you know how dangerous that was?"
"It's alright," Ye Lin said calmly. "The Mandragora Snake bit my Martial Soul, and the blade pierced its brain. The Mandragora Snake is dead."
"Dead!"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment. "What a coincidence!"
He didn't say the second half of his sentence: "If this coincidence was caused by Tang San, that would be perfect, as it would allow Tang San to absorb the spirit ring."
Yu Xiaogang comforted himself, but since Ye Lin would eventually become his disciple anyway, it wasn't so bad.
"In that case, absorb this spirit ring. Don't waste it."
The three returned again.
Ye Lin sat down cross-legged, her Martial Soul Immortal Sword hovering in mid-air above her right hand, using her soul power to guide the Mandala Serpent Soul Ring to her front.
A yellow spirit ring was instantly attached to the immortal sword, and surging energy rushed towards her.
However, each impact of the scorching energy was deflected by the sword's edge and eventually absorbed by Ye Lin.
Tang San looked at the scene before him with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Ye Lin successfully absorbed the soul ring of the 432-year-old Mandragora Serpent...
