Chapter 750: Collecting the Dragon Souls

Chapter 750: Collecting the Dragon Souls

The three demon dragons were shot down, but they were still alive, writhing in discomfort and roaring.

“You go and kill them, and don’t forget to collect the soul fragments,” ordered Lin Nuo.

“Oh, okay,” Ling Meng replied, complying with the orders. She approached the three demon dragons, opened her palms, and began to gather Demon Soul Power.

The swirling Demon Qi surged forth, instantly sending the three dragons off to the afterlife.

Boom!

With the echo of the blast, all three demon dragons fell to Ling Meng’s might.

After eliminating them, it was time to loot—an essential habit taught by Lin Nuo. After all, such magical creatures had soul fragments inside that could be extracted using the right techniques.

Ling Meng had swiftly dispatched the three demon dragons; they weren’t burned to nothing yet, and dragon meat was quite nutritious—burning it would only ruin it, requiring professional fire for proper cooking.

Ling Meng performed efficiently, exhausting her Demon Qi to kill the dragons and extracting their soul fragments.

The demon dragons here had a cultivation level of beginner to intermediate sky tier, not too troublesome. If they were high tier or even divine level, how could Lin Nuo bring them down?

“Very good, well done,” praised Lin Nuo, then he walked over to examine the dragon meat.

The quality of the meat was excellent, but it was toxic—eating it even if grilled could easily lead to poisoning.

“This dragon meat is fine; our supplies are limited, so we can use it for now.”

“But, Master, this dragon meat is poisonous…”

“Don’t worry, it’s not a concern.”

With confidence, Lin Nuo unsheathed his sword and began to cut open the fallen dragon, revealing fresh dragon meat.

He poked a piece of meat with the tip of his sword, sniffed it, and found it smelled quite good.

“Master, isn’t this unsafe to eat…?”

“It’s fine to eat.”

Lin Nuo pressed his palm on the dragon meat and began to perform his technique.

Detoxification was one of his skills.

After all, anyone who could survive in the wild had their special abilities; handling poisons was definitely within his capabilities.

As for demonic toxins, they were easily eliminated.

Good, toxin cleared.

“Let’s start a fire and cook it.”

“It’s poisonous… Master, you have immunity. I can’t do that.”

“The toxins have been removed; it’s edible.”

“Really? These demon dragons from the Demon Abyss Valley are comparable to beasts in the wild for hundreds of years; their toxins are complex and rare, tough to eliminate.”

“Do you believe me?” Lin Nuo asked.

“Um… Alright, I believe you. I’ll go start the fire now.”

Ling Meng decided to listen to Lin Nuo and began gathering firewood.

Lin Nuo picked up a second large piece of dragon meat, ready to detoxify again, but then he paused, reconsidering.

This little detoxification took quite a bit of Demon Soul Power, and eliminating it from an entire dragon was excessive and not worth it—not to mention the piece was too large; cooking it evenly would be a challenge.

Fine, just taste a little piece first.

As Ling Meng tended to the fire, Lin Nuo jumped onto the fallen dragon, observing how these demon dragons, living for a while in the Demon Abyss Valley, compared to others—whether they had mutated or not.

Indeed, they had mutated, their bodies being much more developed, and he could even sense the residual Demon Soul Power, which was radiating heat.

Suddenly, he noticed something strange—a mass was emerging from the dragon’s body.

Not just that, the other two dragons also emitted black masses, enveloping Lin Nuo entirely.

Lin Nuo didn’t dodge; he let the mass shroud him completely.

Ling Meng, while happily singing and cooking meat, looked over and gasped as Lin Nuo got engulfed by a black mass.

“Master! What’s wrong?”

She yelled, rushing towards him, but the outer surface of the black mass repelled her with tremendous force.

What was happening? Why so suddenly?!

Panicking, within moments, Lin Nuo was trapped inside the black mass.

Inside the black mass, Lin Nuo remained calm and collected, unperturbed.

Three shadowy black dragon figures appeared, staring at Lin Nuo.

“Human, do you think you’ve won? How laughable! Even if you kill us, you cannot escape; you will ultimately become the prey of the king.”

“Sorry, but I really did win.”

Saying that, Lin Nuo pulled out a magical talisman and threw it outward, then snapped his fingers.

Snap!

In an instant, the three black dragon souls and the black mist were sucked into the talisman.

“What, how?!”

The black dragon souls were stunned; it was as if a powerful allure surrounded them, dragging them straight into the magical talisman.

Rapidly, all the black mist and dragon souls were absorbed by Lin Nuo with no chance of resistance.

“Is that all?”

Lin Nuo chuckled, holding the talisman back in his hand, where he could faintly hear the dragon souls talking inside.

“You… how did you manage that…?!”

“Kid, even if you collect our souls, you won’t have a good ending; the king will annihilate you.”

“Is that so? Your king is so formidable? We’ll see about that when I give you a chance to reunite.”

Lin Nuo sneered, then tossed the magical talisman onto the ground and stomped on it.

The trapped dragon souls felt pain as they shrieked, but they were confined within the talisman, unable to escape or retaliate, only able to endure the pain.

Soon after, their cries faded away, as the talisman sealed them within.

“Ah? Master, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

Ling Meng rushed over, circling Lin Nuo, eager to check his condition, nearly starting to rip off his clothes.

“Stop, stop, stop! Don’t tear my clothes, hey!”

Lin Nuo quickly tried to escape; this girl was crazy—why did she always want to undress him? Was she a member of some stripping association?

“Don’t pull, you’ll tear it.”

Lin Nuo couldn’t get away; Ling Meng was still tugging at his clothes. Frustrated, he gave her a light smack on the head.

“Ow…”

She covered her head, the hit was harder than expected—Lin Nuo didn’t hold back.

“Master, you’re really harsh.”

“Have you seen how you’re yanking my clothes? Your actions are problematic, and I was gentle about it. You call me harsh?”

“Um… so, Master, what just happened? Why are you…?”

“There were residual dragon souls within the dragons. These souls are quite troublesome, as if they can take you down with them. But no worries, I collected them; they can be used as materials.”

Lin Nuo explained, handing her the magical talisman that contained the dragon souls.

Ling Meng’s eyes widened; the talisman was special—a tool she had never seen before.

Indeed, her Master was omnipotent, easily resolving those troublesome dragon souls.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and she heard movement in the grass nearby.

Ling Meng seemed to sense something, turning her gaze in that direction where a shadow was moving.

“Master, that…”

“Forget about it, we’re cooking meat.”

Lin Nuo sat down by the fire casually, priority on the meat.
