Chapter 204 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [204]
Of the unintended consequences he had caused, Dugu Bo had nothing to say and could only respond with silence. After the two shared a few brief emotions, they turned their attention to something far more important.
In the previous battle, a large number of snake-type soul beasts had died. Although the soul rings of these beasts were sacrificed by the Medusa Queen as offerings to activate the artifact, the corpses of these soul beasts were bound to contain soul bones.
Chen Ming and Dugu Bo began carefully searching through the bodies of the deceased royal-grade soul beasts and exotic species for soul bones.
"One 20,000-year Medusa skull bone." This was dropped by the first Medusa Chen Ming had defeated, the one whose body was shattered to dust.
"One 50,000-year Crimson Serpent King torso bone." This was produced by the unlucky Crimson Serpent King, that Chen Ming had killed with his Dark Gold Dreadclaw.
"One 50,000-year Nether Serpent King right leg bone." This was dropped by the Nether Serpent King, who had narrowly avoided Chen Ming's Dark Gold Dreadclaw thanks to its innate skills but was ultimately killed by Dugu Bo.
"One Three-Headed Nether Python right leg bone, one Scarlet Blood Demon Python left leg bone."
These two bones came from the two exotic species that were both the offspring and the husband of the Medusa Queen. Both soul bones were slightly over 40,000 years old.
Although they were from different species, due to their shared bloodline, Chen Ming could sense a connection between the two bones when placed together. Without a doubt, if a soul master were to absorb both bones simultaneously, they would gain additional enhancements.
Moreover, the Scarlet Blood Demon Python, as a variant of the Crimson Serpent species, had superior vitality compared to the Crimson Serpent King. While the Three-Headed Nether Python lacked healing abilities, it excelled in defense and even possessed substitution-type skills.
Leg bones inherently tend to grant defensive or amplification-related skills, and these two soul bones likely contained the signature defensive soul skills of these two exotic species.
One specialized in vitality, the other in defense, and both were left- and right-leg bones with divine beast bloodlines. Chen Ming estimated that the effects of absorbing these two complementary bones would surpass the pair of Radiant Golden Elephant soul bones owned by his master, Chrysanthemum Douluo. If these bones were 70,000 or 80,000 years old, Chen Ming might have considered absorbing them himself.
"Four Medusa skull bones."
After dissecting the bodies of the deceased Medusas, Chen Ming and Dugu Bo discovered that each Medusa had dropped an incredibly rare skull bone.
After tallying up the soul bones, both Dugu Bo and Chen Ming fell silent. They exchanged glances, clearly shocked by the magnitude of their harvest.
It seemed that due to the high quality and age of these soul beasts, coupled with their prolonged proximity to the divine Medusa Queen, every one of this deceased royal-grade, exotic soul beasts and Medusas had dropped a soul bone.
The drop rate of soul bones had reached an astonishing 100%. Although the soul rings had been wasted, every soul beast had contributed a soul bone of even greater value.
Chen Ming couldn't be sure whether this phenomenon was due to the influence of the Medusa Queen or a stroke of luck gifted by the world's will. However, he felt that both factors likely played a part, leading to this exaggerated 100% drop rate.
Although Dugu Bo was aware that soul beasts should not be slaughtered indiscriminately, he couldn't help but regret letting the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and a few Medusas escape earlier.
Had he been more decisive and held back those fleeing soul beasts until Chen Ming arrived, they could have secured several more soul bones.
To be blunt, two years ago, Dugu Bo had been struggling with only a single soul bone. He had desperately wondered if he could ever obtain a second high-quality soul bone. Never in his life had he imagined he would one day own a full set of soul bones.
Now, with so many high-quality soul bones right in front of him, Dugu Bo felt as though he had fallen into a dream. Were it not for his pride in front of Chen Ming, he might have burst into song to express his excitement.
This was a windfall!
Each of these soul bones was enough to make a Titled Douluo green with envy and fight for them. Each one could spark a bloodbath and become a family heirloom. Even the upper three sects might not possess this many high-quality soul bones.
Although Dugu Bo was already fully equipped with soul bones and couldn't absorb anymore, he could pass this complete set of soul bones to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. With these soul bones, her martial soul would undoubtedly evolve into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.
In the future, her achievements would at least begin at the Titled Douluo level, and becoming a Super Douluo wouldn't be out of reach.
Furthermore, in the generations to come, his descendants might even achieve the dream of having soul bones for everyone in the family.
Looking at these soul bones, Dugu Bo's imagination ran wild. He envisioned a future where the Poison Sect became the number one sect on the Douluo Continent, with Chen Ming and Dugu Yan as top-tier experts revered by all soul masters. They would even prepare to ascend to the Divine Realm.
Perhaps, like the Angel God of the past, they would establish an eternal legacy akin to the Spirit Hall, ensuring their lineage's prosperity for thousands of years.

Their children would be born prodigies with the potential to become Titled Douluo. The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor and Jade Phosphor Scorpion Emperor would be recognized as the continent's strongest martial souls. Poison-type soul masters would be regarded as the most powerful and promising soul masters on the Douluo Continent.
With determination flashing in his eyes, Dugu Bo resolved to train even harder. With his current soul power, he could live another hundred years. With Chen Ming's talent, achieving such feats would take no more than a century.
If Dugu Bo could break through one more level of soul power and extend his lifespan further, he was confident he would witness the realization of his vision.
The high-quality, high-age soul bones were stored in Chen Ming's Treasure Purse. For Chen Ming and Dugu Bo, their journey had only just begun.
During the earlier battle, many snake-type soul beasts had been killed by Dugu Bo's poisonous mist while providing support. The Medusa Queen's Death Shriek had also claimed the lives of many more.
Even if these soul beasts didn't have such a high drop rate, the sheer quantity and quality of the beasts on this island ensured the existence of many undiscovered soul bones.
Whether hundred-year, thousand-year, or ten-thousand-year soul bones, and whether from intermediate or high-level soul beasts, each one represented a significant treasure.
Dugu Bo took responsibility for dissecting the bodies and searching for soul bones, while Chen Ming focused on preserving the corpses of the deceased super soul beasts and the Medusa Queen.
Using Ultimate Ice, Chen Ming carefully preserved the bodies, separating the most valuable parts for individual storage. He then froze the large sections of the corpses, preparing to take them away.
The bodies of these top-tier soul beasts were incredibly nourishing. Even for Dugu Bo and Chen Ming could provide a considerable boost. For a low-level soul master like Dugu Yan, they were top-notch cultivation resources. Every drop of blood was a precious treasure.
Especially the Medusa Queen's corpse, which was even more valuable than a single immortal herb.
After working for half a day, Chen Ming finally finished cutting and freezing the soul beasts' bodies. After notifying Dugu Bo, he spread his wings and flew to the nearest coastal city. There, he used his token to purchase a large number of storage soul tools from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's merchant guild.
Returning to the island, he packed all the precious materials into the storage tools, saving them for future use or to study the inherent bloodline power within them.
PS: As a reader who has finished reading the entire Soul Land series, I feel deeply sorry for the Soul Beasts.
