107: Chapter 107 Poison Dart Frogs

When they arrived outside the city, Princess Zhou Zhiyan was already waiting there with a group of her subordinates.

"Boss!"

Qin Batian and Chen Yan saw Xiang Tian and his group appear.

They immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Hmm? What is going on with you two?"

Xiang Yuan blinked.

"Set off!"

Without waiting for the two to respond, Princess Zhou Zhiyan gave the order in a deep voice.

She waved her jade hand lightly.

A giant ship, pure white and hundreds of meters long, suddenly hovered in mid-air.

The hull shimmered with flowing colors, looking extremely intimidating.

"Follow me onto the ship!" she commanded again.

Her figure was the first to dash toward the deck of the ship.

"Tsk tsk, it's actually a ship that can fly!" Xiang Tian clicked his tongue.

Anyone would be moved by such an anti-gravity creation.

Naturally, he was no exception, and he immediately followed the others onto the ship.

"Xiang Tian, don't look so inexperienced," Princess Zhou Zhiyan turned her head and snorted coldly at him.

"Standard issue for any disciple of a major Family is a ship of this kind."

"Launch!"

As soon as her voice fell, a deafening roar resounded through the sky.

"Whoosh—"

The ship sped off in the predetermined direction.

"Damn! So fast!" Xiang Tian exclaimed again.

"Ah! I'm so scared!" Yan Linfei took the opportunity to shrink into Xiang Tian's arms.

Her voice was delicate and weak, as if she were about to cry.

Xiang Tian rolled his eyes.

If not for the fact that Princess Zhou Zhiyan had previously spoken about the ship.

He might have truly believed this display of weakness.

However, with Xiahou Yun not around right now, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to take advantage of the situation.

He took the opportunity to wrap his arm around Yan Linfei's waist, his movements natural and fluid.

The others were long used to this and each found a spot to sit down.

This high-speed flight lasted for three full days.

"We've arrived!" Princess Zhou Zhiyan's voice suddenly rose.

In front of and below the ship, an endless mountain range and primitive forest came into view.

The sea of forest was vast, shrouded in clouds and mist.

"We will conduct a month-long hunt in this forest," Princess Zhou Zhiyan announced the rules loudly.

"Spirit Beasts in the forest are scored according to their Rank; a Rank 2 Spirit Beast is equivalent to ten Rank 1 Spirit Beasts, and so on. The champion of this hunt will be directly granted a title!"

As soon as the words "granted a title" were spoken, the eyes of everyone instantly ignited with fierce fighting spirit.

Their previous exhaustion was swept away, and everyone was full of energy.

"Go down!"

Following Princess Zhou Zhiyan's order, everyone leaped from the ship.

They dashed toward the forest.

Xiang Tian was mixed in with the crowd, flying along, but just at the moment before landing,

an inexplicable pulling force suddenly dragged him away from the group.

When his feet landed firmly, he looked around and discovered he was all alone.

His original companions were nowhere to be seen.

"Could we have been scattered?" Xiang Tian muttered to himself.

It seemed that this forest was by no means an ordinary place.

It was no wonder Princess Zhou Zhiyan chose this place for the hunt.

Clearly, moving in a team here was almost impossible.

He turned around in place, observing the terrain for a moment.

He chose a direction at random and strode forward.

In less than an hour, a Rank 1 Spirit Beast appeared in his line of sight.

Xiang Tian raised his hand and brought down his blade, killing it cleanly.

For the next three days, he steadily hunted Spirit Beasts in this manner.

The process was uneventful, and he did not encounter any danger.

He had already collected hundreds of Spirit Beasts into his System space, mostly at Rank 2 and Rank 3 levels.

For three whole days, he didn't even see the shadow of any of his companions.

The vastness of this forest far exceeded his imagination.

Judging by a Cultivator's pace, it was likely several times larger than the Amazon rainforest.

"Croak, croak—"

Just as Xiang Tian was rubbing his chin in thought, a series of urgent croaks came from nearby.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small, emerald-green Little Frog being chased relentlessly by a small snake with green scales.

It was about to be caught.

This was the Law of nature, and Xiang Tian hadn't intended to intervene.

If he saved the frog, the snake would go hungry; he wasn't saintly enough to go that far.

But the next moment.

The Little Frog actually made an extremely human-like gesture.

It straightened its two hind legs and bowed repeatedly toward Xiang Tian.

A crisp voice rang out.

"Human, save me quickly! I will take you to a good place!"

"You? You can speak?" Xiang Tian was slightly stunned.

It was rare for such a small body to possess intelligence and be able to speak human language.

"I am from the Poison Dart Frog race. I accidentally strayed into this place and was targeted by this little snake," the Little Frog explained hurriedly.

"In other words, you are of the Yao Race?" Xiang Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

A few days ago, he had learned that the Yao Race and the Human Race were always at odds, mortal enemies.

Why would this little guy turn around and ask him for help?

"As long as you save me, I am willing to become your Spirit Beast!" the Poison Dart Frog begged bitterly.

"What skills do you have? I don't keep useless things," Xiang Tian said indifferently.

Saving this little guy was merely a small effort for him.

But he couldn't agree so easily.

"Master, I can coat your weapons with poison. It is extremely toxic and can help you kill enemies easily!" the Poison Dart Frog said, sticking out its long tongue and waving it.

"How do I use it?"

"Just lick the weapon with my tongue!" the Poison Dart Frog pointed to its own tongue.

"That's too unhygienic," Xiang Tian quipped.

Still, he stepped forward and killed the small snake with a casual wave of his hand.

"Thank you, Master, for saving my life!" The Poison Dart Frog was overjoyed and forced a drop of crystal-clear essence blood from its body, offering it to Xiang Tian.

"This is my essence blood; you can form a contract with me."

"I dare not mess around with your blood," Xiang Tian waved his hand.

"I will directly use a Divine Soul secret technique to form the contract; you must not resist."

The Poison Dart Frog nodded hurriedly.

Xiang Tian expertly extended his Divine Soul.

He quickly controlled the Divine Soul of the Poison Dart Frog, and the contract was completed.

"Master, although my combat power is not strong, my poison arts are very powerful and will definitely be of great help to you!"

The Poison Dart Frog hopped on Xiang Tian's shoulder, trying hard to prove its value.

"Oh? Then why were you being chased by a small snake just now?" Xiang Tian raised an eyebrow.

This little guy certainly knew how to brag.

"My venom is auxiliary; it must touch the enemy's blood! That little snake's scales were too hard, I couldn't break its defense, so I couldn't inject the venom!" the Poison Dart Frog defended itself aggrievedly.

Xiang Tian glanced at the Little Frog, which was barely bigger than a thumb, and thought it made sense.

With such a small size, it was indeed not easy to break through scales.

"Fine, from now on you are my Spirit Beast. However, you need to meet your companions."

With a thought, he summoned Bai Yu and Xiao Hei.

"Master! Why did you only let me out now!" As soon as Bai Yu came out, she transformed into the appearance of a young girl.

She threw herself into Xiang Tian's arms and rubbed against him affectionately.

"Bai Yu, you are the big sister now, a little leader from now on, you need to have the demeanor of a big sister," Xiang Tian said with a smile, ruffling her hair.

"You aren't talking about this pitch-black little thing, are you!"

Bai Yu pointed to Xiao Hei on the side.

"Not just him, but also this little thing."

Xiang Tian cast his gaze on the Poison Dart Frog.

Bai Yu looked in the direction of Xiang Tian's gaze.

This frog was just too small.

It was only a little bigger than a thumb.

"That's right," Xiang Tian nodded, "This Poison Dart Frog is also my Spirit Beast."

Bai Yu was completely stunned, her eyebrows knitting tightly, her face full of astonishment.

"Does it have any combat power? Can it help Master fight?"

The Poison Dart Frog was immediately unconvinced and jumped in front of Bai Yu.

It detailed its poison-coating ability, trying hard to prove that it wasn't useless.

Xiang Tian stood to the side, smiling as he watched the three Spirit Beasts interact.

Time passed quickly, and a full day went by.

The three Spirit Beasts were already familiar with each other.

Bai Yu naturally became the big sister, and Xiao Hei ranked second.

That Poison Dart Frog turned out to be female and became the youngest little sister.

"Our most important task now is to help Master hunt more Spirit Beasts and win the hunting championship!" Xiao Hei said seriously, mimicking Xiang Tian's gesture of rubbing his chin.

Hearing this, a gratified smile curved on the corner of Xiang Tian's mouth.

"Since you are all familiar with each other, let's set off together," he said.

Ignoring the chattering of the three little ones, he turned and walked toward the depths of the forest.
