Chapter 297: My Poison, No Antidote!
Chapter 297: My Poison, No Antidote!
A young man with red hair stood before them.
At first glance, he seemed like a non-mainstream member of the Funeral Love family.
This Rong Cheng had indeed left a deep impression on Su Ping.
With his explosive red hair, Su Ping couldn't help but be impressed.
Previously, this man didn't show any hostility towards him, unlike some of the Rong family's younger generation. Instead, whenever their eyes met, he would maintain a calm and even smiling demeanor.
However, this only proved that he was confident. Even if Su Ping had taken a share of the Five Saints' Eggs, he believed he could still obtain one of them.
This represented his formidable strength among the younger generation of the Rong family.
But since this guy had spoken, Su Ping didn't feel like wasting words with a stranger or an enemy. He directly walked to the edge of the Beastmaster Combat arena.
This wasn't an important battle.
Since someone had stepped forward, it was time to start.
"Su Ping, cousin, is it a group battle or a single Beastmaster Combat?"
Rong Cheng lightly leaped into the center of the arena, surrounded by the gazes of the other branches, and asked with a smile.
"Whatever."
"Hehe, I heard that Su Ping, cousin, has only recently awakened. Since that's the case, a team Beastmaster Combat would be a disadvantage. I, Rong Cheng, am not one to bully the weak. How about a single Beastmaster Combat?"
Rong Cheng's red hair swayed, and with a wave of his hand, a strange companion beast appeared by his side.
It had to be said that Rong Cheng's idea was quite reliable.
In his opinion, if Su Ping had indeed gained strength through some means from the family head, it was most likely through an additional companion beast contract.
Increasing the combat power of a contracted companion beast quickly would be extremely difficult, even with the Rong family's deep heritage.
Moreover, saying this sounded better.
It had to be said that Rong Cheng's idea was quite good.
Su Ping nodded and glanced at the companion beast by Rong Cheng's side.
A buzzing sound emanated, and the rapidly flapping wings left streaks of blood-red light in the air.
It was a dark red giant mosquito.
It was about a meter long, resembling a large dog in the air, with a crimson body and a mouthpart that was half the length of its body, causing goosebumps to rise.
The True Eye instantly locked onto it, and the information about this strange insect-type companion beast appeared before Su Ping:
[Corruption Blood Mosquito (Other's Contract)]
[Attribute: Poison]
[Current Level: Overlord Tenth Rank]
[Racial Potential: Overlord Tenth Rank]
[Skills: Blood Corruption (Mastery), Blood Shadow Cascade (Proficiency), Life Drain (Proficiency), Blood Suction (Mastery), Blood Curse (Beginner), Neurotoxin (Proficiency)]
This was a poison-type companion beast born solely for combat.
Aside from the survival instinct skill of blood suction, all five skills were combat skills.
Moreover, it had reached the pinnacle of the Overlord Tenth Rank, making it qualified to be arrogant within the Overlord Rank.
Thinking of this, Su Ping's heart stirred, and Xiao Qing's figure appeared beside him.
"Little guy, are you okay?"
To be honest, Su Ping was a bit worried about Xiao Qing's combat power.
Xiao Qing's combat power was relatively average and couldn't compare to Qian Yi's.
Qian Yi had undergone multiple breeding sessions, and as a paper body assembly with a unique racial talent, he had even undergone an evolution.
But Xiao Qing was different.
However, trust in companion beasts was the most important lesson for breeders and Beastmasters.
Beastmasters and companion beasts shared a bond of life, as partners, comrades, and family.
Xiao Qing's actions conveyed her response.
In everyone's eyes, this emerald forest wolf, incomparable to the corruption blood mosquito, slowly took steps forward and approached Su Ping. With a head held high, her beautiful emerald green eyes gleamed with determination and pride.
All poison-types seemed to be born to submit to her, to kneel at her feet.
Even though she was six or seven small ranks lower than the corruption blood mosquito before her.
"Forest Wolf?"
Rong Mang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He had indeed seen Su Ping's two contracted companion beasts on Tian Shan. He knew that Su Ping had a forest wolf and a paper body assembly.
But in terms of combat power, no matter what, shouldn't the paper body assembly be more powerful?
Thinking of this, Rong Mang turned to look, and although his paternal grandfather wasn't there, many of the Rong family's elders had gathered around the Beastmaster Combat arena, showing great interest in this unique battle.
He was aware of Rong Cheng's corruption blood mosquito, which had stood out among the family's younger generation.
Even his own overlord-ranked companion beast was quite wary of it.
Or rather, all flesh-bodied creatures were wary of this corruption blood mosquito.
Because in the poison-type attribute, the advantage and disadvantage were the most evident.
Undead, mechanical, and elemental beasts are often immune to poison-type beast abilities, allowing them to easily defeat poison-type beasts.
However, when it comes to flesh-and-blood beasts, almost all attribute beasts are vulnerable to poison-type beasts.
As for the poison of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito...
Nearby, the sixteen-year-old Rong Chan, who had not yet awakened, watched her cousin's emerald-carved forest wolf and the ferocious, bloodthirsty Corrupt Blood Mosquito. She anxiously tugged at Rong Mang's sleeve:
"Brother, will my cousin be okay?"
Rong Mang remained silent, knowing that the disparity in strength was too great.
The disparity was so great that he couldn't even comfort his sister.
"Cousin, be careful. There's no antidote for bloodthirst, and you'll have to use life-type resources to exchange blood for healing... But don't worry, I'll show mercy!"
Looking at Su Ping's mutated forest wolf, Rong Cheng's lips curled in disdain.
Su Ping didn't mind, but the nearby Xiao Qing, with her wolf-like face, opened her mouth in an unfriendly threatening growl.
Clearly, Xiao Qing was displeased by the enemy's contempt.
Rong Cheng paid no attention, waving his hand: "Bloodthirst, attack!"
This was an irregular battle, with no referees or judges.
The battle began as soon as the beasts were summoned.
'Whoosh...'
A fierce sound of breaking through the air rang out.
In the air, a trail of blood-red light streaked wildly.
Corrupt Blood Mosquito's 'Blood Shadow Cascade'.
Its speed increased explosively, like thunder.
Rong Cheng was satisfied with his beast's performance, but he was still worried, quickly instructing in the soul bond:
"Bloodthirst, don't kill!"
Su Ping wasn't an outsider, and no matter what, he couldn't put him in life-threatening danger.
"Roar~"
An ear-piercing sound came from the erupting Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
At the same time, a dark red vein appeared, spreading from Xiao Qing's body.
Like a spider web, it slowly enveloped Xiao Qing.
'Blood Corruption'!
This was Rong Cheng's confidence.
Blood Corruption was a poison-type skill targeting the blood of living creatures.
The most outrageous aspect was its silent activation, even ignoring distance.
The difficulty and value of breeding the Corrupt Blood Mosquito were extremely high, largely due to this breedable Blood Corruption skill.
Once activated, the beast's blood would be contaminated, and most beasts would weaken and even die from the pollution of their blood.
Many times, the attacked beast wouldn't even know why, becoming a blood meal for the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.

This was an extremely evil and bizarre skill.
Was it over?
Rong Mang pursed his lips.
Earlier, the cousin had been so confident, but now, if Rong Cheng killed him in an instant, it would not only be a huge blow to the cousin's confidence but also cause great dissatisfaction among Rong Family's disciples towards their grandfather.
The disparity in strength was so great, how could the Five Holy Eggs be given to such a person so carelessly?
At that moment, many people, including Rong Cheng, thought the situation was settled.
Xiao Qing, however, felt nothing, as if she hadn't even seen the blood-red veins spreading from her body. Calmly, she stared at the Corrupt Blood Mosquito flying above, her emerald pupils revealing a mocking expression.
Yes, it was mocking.
Xiao Qing's level wasn't high, far below that of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito.
Not to mention the absorption of Green Devil Spring Grass's supreme toxicity during this time, but even the mutated skill she had finally mastered: Toxic Heartwood, along with her resistance, was enough to make Xiao Qing highly immune to such poison-type abilities.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the dark red veins enveloping Xiao Qing slowly disappeared, merging into her body.
What was this?
Even Rong Cheng spoke in the soul bond to the Corrupt Blood Mosquito:
"Bloodthirst, I just told you not to kill, and Blood Corruption hasn't taken effect yet. Why did you stop?"
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito in the sky looked at its owner pitifully.
Was this its doing?
But soon, the Corrupt Blood Mosquito understood, its blood-red wings buzzing as poison blood seeped through Xiao Qing's nose, eyes, and pores.
This was the unstoppable nature of poison-type abilities.
As expected, the emerald forest wolf standing there unmoving had another blood-red vein appear.
This time, the veins were even deeper, but Xiao Qing seemed to understand as well. Even the arched back slowly lowered, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks.
The two front legs stood on the ground, tilting her head to look at the corrupt blood mosquito in the sky.
Then, in less than fifteen seconds, these crimson veins disappeared again, leaving not a trace.
Xiao Qing was not even slightly affected.
What the hell is this?
Rong Cheng and all the onlookers also understood. This Forest Wolf was immune to the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's attack?
This Corrupt Blood Mosquito, named Bloodthirsty, was enraged.
As one of the strongest Overlord-tier insect-type companion beasts, it was the first time it had encountered such humiliation.
A piercingly loud cry rang out, as if a strange suction force had appeared!
At that moment, Xiao Qing felt her blood, as if uncontrollable, wanting to seep out from her body, through her pores.
Rong Cheng exhaled slightly, feeling a bit tense, not because he was worried about his own defeat.
Although the Forest Wolf before him seemed a bit strange, perhaps the family head had already anticipated his move and used some means to make this Forest Wolf immune to the Blood Corruption Technique's poison.
What he was worried about was whether this move would put the Forest Wolf's life at risk.
Indeed, as the master of the Corrupt Blood Mosquito, he was well aware of what this action represented.
This time, it was for real!
Life Drain, to absorb the blood of other creatures, and then activate Blood Curse!
This was the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's ultimate move!
Blood Curse was the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's strongest ability, but the difficulty was in obtaining the enemy's blood.
After his breeding, the Life Drain and Bloodsucking skills were combined, allowing him to absorb blood while seeping out a thread of blood.
This seepage was not even considered an injury, and if it was just the blood and blockage sucked out, it would be nothing.
But for the Corrupt Blood Mosquito,
even a single thread was enough!
In fact, it was indeed so.
On the second-floor viewing platform, Rong Xia's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Rong Lu beside him:
"Brother, is Cheng'er going too far?"
The Blood Corruption Technique was fine, after all, it was a skill that could control life and death freely. But once the Blood Curse was activated, the result would be hard to predict!
Rong Lu narrowed his eyes:
"Rong Xia, Su Ping himself agreed to the Beastmaster Combat. Do you want Cheng'er to tie his hands and feet?"
Rong Xia's face turned slightly unpleasant, but he thought of the Forest Wolf's immunity to the Blood Corruption Technique and also exhaled slightly.
Indeed, the difference in levels was quite significant.
Xiao Qing could resist this feeling, but indeed, there were a few drops of blood that seeped out from her fur.
A drop of blood splattered and fell into the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's mouthparts.
"Ang Ang!"
An excited cry rang out.
The Corrupt Blood Mosquito tasted the blood of this damn strange Forest Wolf, and almost without thinking, it activated the Blood Curse!
Although it was only at the Beginner Rank, as its 'ultimate move', the Corrupt Blood Mosquito had full confidence.
Mmm..."
you taste my power,"
the Corrupt Blood Mosquito seemed to say.
A crimson bubble appeared on the Corrupt Blood Mosquito's body.
Then, its originally dark red body turned into a crimson crystal.
Xiao Qing's body also gradually transformed, and the emerald-like body combined with the crimson color, creating a very strange visual effect.
Then, the entire arena fell silent.
In their eyes, the Forest Wolf stood up, shook its tail slightly, and all the crimson veins disappeared.
Instead, a purple-green glow appeared, almost as if it had reached the Perfect Rank!
The reason was simple. The poison from the Blood Curse was still being devoured by Xiao Qing at this moment, and the 'Toxic Heartwood', which had been jointly cultivated with all the Forest Wolves, broke through and advanced to the Perfect Rank!
What surprised everyone even more was that the Corrupt Blood Mosquito, which had just proudly activated the Blood Curse, seemed to have suffered from something.
The wings flapped slowly in the sky.
Then, the body went limp, and it fell from the sky with a plop.
On the originally dark red body, a purple-green hue spread, as if it were symptoms of poisoning.
But where did the poison come from?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Even Rong Cheng, the master, was a bit dazed and couldn't react in time.
But only for a moment, Rong Mang suddenly realized and exclaimed in disbelief:
"Is there poison in the Forest Wolf's blood?"
