Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 790 - 283: Heavenly Fox vs. Ba Snake

Descendants of Eight Desolates?

People from the Ba Snake Clan?

Yun Sheng and Gu Feng never expected that the enchanting woman mingling beside Dugu Xiu was actually a descendant of the Eight Desolates.

Despite her efforts to conceal it, it was undeniable that "Donghuang Lingling" looked visibly unnatural upon hearing the word "Ba Snake".

"I don’t know what you’re talking about, what’s this about Ba Snake or not Ba Snake."

On the continent, the descendants of Eight Desolates have always been a deeply tabooed topic. If it were confirmed that Lady Chi Bi was a person from the Ba Snake Clan of the Eight Desolates descendants, she might likely face the pursuit of powerful beings across the entire Wuji Continent.

"You need not deny it, Lingling was indeed afflicted with Snake Gu, a very special type of living poison that only people of the Ba Snake Clan among the descendants of Eight Desolates would know." If Little Qing hadn’t "mentioned" it, Qi Ye would not have known about this poison.

Every Ba Snake descendant, regardless of gender, will feed a mother snake with blood at birth.

This mother snake, needing ten years to mature.

Once mature, the mother snake lays a snake egg every year.

Using these snake eggs, Ba Snake descendants can deploy the gu on people.

Those afflicted by the gu can swallow the snake egg and will be safe as long as they consume the Blood Elixir prepared from the blood of a Ba Snake descendant; otherwise, the egg won’t hatch.

But if within 24 hours they haven’t taken the Blood Elixir, the snake within the egg starts to hatch due to lack of nourishment.

Once the snake egg hatches, it begins to slowly devour the person’s consciousness. By 72 hours, if no solution to break the spell is found, the person’s consciousness will be completely consumed by the baby snake, turning them into a puppet completely controlled by the poisonous insect master.

"Damn you, how could you deploy a gu on Lingling," Gu Feng angrily grabbed Lady Chi Bi after hearing this.

"Boy, who exactly are you? How do you even know such secretive things about the Ba Snake Clan?" "Donghuang Lingling" after hearing this, stopped denying.

What Qi Ye said was all true.

But even knowing this, what does it matter.

Knowing about the Snake Gu doesn’t mean he can resolve it.

"Gu Feng, now is not the time to be emotional. The most important thing is to find a way to save Lingling," Yun Sheng was not familiar with the unique gu technique of the Bahuang Clan, and without Lady Chi Bi speaking out, once 72 hours passed, Lingling really would be beyond help.

"Hehe, keep dreaming. I’m telling you, no one can save this girl except for myself. Also, don’t think about forcing it out of me; otherwise, it’s the Princess who will suffer. I advise you to obediently send the Princess back to the Crown Prince," "Donghuang Lingling" laughed.

Even if Qi knows the origins of the Snake Gu, he absolutely cannot know the method to resolve the Snake Gu.

"Yun Sheng, resolving Snake Gu is tough, it requires the host to drive the mother snake, only then can you summon the baby snake residing within the person afflicted by the gu," Qi had no other method.

"Qi, did you just mention summoning? Is the baby snake inside Lingling also a Demon Beast?" Yun Sheng’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, it seems that this Snake Gu is somewhat similar to typical Demon Beast summoning.

"It is a Demon Beast, Yun Sheng, what are you thinking?" Qi did not understand why Yun Sheng asked this.

"Since it’s a Demon Beast, then it’s simple. You guys go outside and keep watch, I’ll try to find out that baby snake," Yun Sheng was full of confidence. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gu Feng was still somewhat skeptical, "Yun Sheng, shouldn’t we, maybe, just send Lingling back, I don’t want her to suffer."

"Gu Feng, you still don’t trust me? Rest assured, go and keep watch outside, I promise to return a lively and bouncing Lingling to you by dawn," Yun Sheng’s confidence infected Gu Feng.

He nodded and walked out the door with Qi.

"Silly girl, do you think you can find the whereabouts of the little snake? Let me tell you, besides me, no one can find out where the little snake is hiding, even if you dissect the princess, you won’t find it," Donghuang Lingling said with full confidence.

However, the next moment, a look of shock appeared on Donghuang Lingling’s face.

Because "she" saw Yun Sheng taking out a ring and putting it on her finger.

That was a ring only Summoners possess.

"You’re a Summoner?" Donghuang Lingling exclaimed in astonishment.

Lady Chi Bi always thought that Yun Sheng was just a Mage, but she turned out to be a Summoner.

Bahuang Tribe has always had complex feelings towards Summoners.

Although the members of the Bahuang Tribe have transformed into human forms, their ancestors were Demon Beasts.

Summoners are the people whom Demon Beasts fear and detest the most.

No wonder she asked earlier whether the little snake was a Demon Beast.

As long as it is a Demon Beast, a Summoner can enslave it through a contract.

The shock only lasted for a moment, and then Donghuang Lingling taunted: "So what if you are a Summoner, the little snake has already been enslaved by me, you can’t contract it anymore."

As a top-tier Demon Beast from the Eight Desolate Beast Clan, Lady Chi Bi of the Ba Snake Clan, although not a Summoner, can enslave most of the Snake Clan with the oppression of Demon Beasts.

This kind of enslavement, compared to a Summoner’s contract, is obviously of lower effect.

Summoners usually contract unowned Demon Beasts, and of course, some extremely powerful Summoners can also reverse contract already contracted Demon Beasts.

But there’s a prerequisite: the reversing Summoner must possess extremely high summoning prowess, and their own Magic Soul must be strong enough to withstand the backlash from another Summoner.

Lady Chi Bi, hidden in Wuji Continent for many years, knew that the notable Summoners on the continent almost all come from the Summoning Court.

Even if there are some Free Summoners, their strength could not possibly reach a level where they can reverse contract her Demon Beasts.

"Whether I can contract it or not, we’ll know if we try," Yun Sheng hooked the corner of her mouth, a hint of mockery appearing in her eyes.

If it were in the past, she indeed wouldn’t have been confident about reverse contracting a Demon Beast, but all that changed after she entered the Heavenly Fox Tomb and unexpectedly acquired the Corpse Puppetry from Sky Fox Clan Leader Hu Yan.

Due to practicing Corpse Puppetry and the significant increase in the strength of her Demon Beasts, Yun Sheng’s level as a Summoner has soared dramatically.

Now, even when facing a Commander-level Demon Beast without using the Summoning Demon Hand, she could successfully contract it. If she used the Summoning Demon Hand, she even had the confidence to contract a King-level Demon Beast.

For Yun Sheng, a mere enslaved little snake of the Ba Snake Clan was nothing to concern herself with.

A Summoning Magic Array enveloped Donghuang Lingling and as the light of the Magic Array grew brighter, Yun Sheng’s pupils slowly changed.

Her chanting sped up as well.

The initially disdainful Donghuang Lingling, trapped within, began to feel an eerie dread rise from the depths of her heart as the magic power fluctuations from the Magic Array grew increasingly stronger.
