Chapter 720: The Suddenly Appearing Third Attribute!
Under Fang Mu's extensive infusion of pure spirit qi and earth element energy, the quality of the Jeh ancient snake also advanced.
Its quality ascended to Epic Quality, granting the Jeh ancient snake a new exclusive trait: [Scale Armor Poison].
[Scale Armor Poison] allows the Jeh ancient snake to envelop every scale on its body with toxic poisons during combat.
If an enemy's flesh makes contact with the scales of the Jeh ancient snake, the toxins will transfer through its scales into the enemy's body.
Each contact triggers additional poison damage, accelerating the eruption of toxins and forcing a chain of toxic explosions within the enemy's system!
This dimensional world is inhabited by colossal creatures that rely on their physical prowess to fight against adversaries.
Such methods of combat inevitably mean enemies must physically engage the Jeh ancient snake when attacking it.
The exclusive trait [Scale Armor Poison] significantly enhances the Jeh ancient snake's overall strength.
Overjoyed by the rapid elevation of energy within its body, the Jeh ancient snake raised its head and released a thunderous hiss.
The snake's hissing was imbued with a domineering presence so overwhelming that even Fang Mu couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.
Fang Mu recalled how this place once served as the lair of the Jeh ancient snake, where numerous giant beasts roamed before its fierce confrontation with the Two-headed Crane Phoenix.
He turned to the Jeh ancient snake and spoke.
"I will call you Golan from now on!"
"Golan, try to suppress your aura as much as possible; do not let it continuously radiate outward."
"Releasing your aura constantly will not only attract powerful enemies but also deter the weaker creatures that could have served as your food from entering this area, making it inconvenient for you to fill your belly in the future."
Naming one's contracted creature is regarded as a sign of respect, especially since the Jeh ancient snake—despite being newly born—possesses remarkably high intelligence.
This Jeh ancient snake is a young female serpent, and the name Golan suits her quite well.
The Jeh ancient snake clearly liked the name very much. Upon hearing Fang Mu's words, it promptly retracted its aura.
Indeed, this was precisely as Fang Mu had described. Continuously releasing her aura would instinctively drive away the weaker giant beasts from within her territory.
"Master, I have a unique gland within my body that allows me to secrete a special substance to mark my territory."
"The aura emitted by this substance warns creatures of significant strength not to infringe upon the land I govern."
"At the same time, it can attract large numbers of weaker creatures and entice them to live within my domain."
"This gland is not unique to us Jeh ancient snakes, but few species in this world possess it."
"Creatures capable of developing this gland are called Leaders. Like me, the Two-headed Crane Phoenix born here has most likely also emerged as a Leader!"
Though the Jeh ancient snake was still a newborn, it carried inherited knowledge.
A mother snake transfers a vast amount of information to her offspring through bloodline inheritance when laying eggs.
Through the Jeh ancient snake, Fang Mu gained a better understanding of the higher-dimensional world.
The dimensional doorway continuously emanated spatial fluctuations.
While the Covenant Blood Essence hadn't fully condensed yet, and the Two-headed Crane Phoenix's egg remained unhatched, Fang Mu decided to return to the Beastmaster World immediately and head to The Capital to summon Jiang Weng to assist in this dimensional realm!
Fang Mu believed Jiang Weng's expertise would be essential for reinforcing this dimensional channel with additional restrictions.
A Forging Spirit Grandmaster possesses various methods to set up restrictions, which could shield this dimensional channel from being sensed by other-dimensional creatures.
Under these restrictions, the dimensional channel could effectively disappear even under the gaze of other-dimensional beings.
Upon returning to his room through the dimensional channel, Fang Mu let out a light sigh—this channel's presence had rendered his room a forbidden zone.
Fortunately, no one typically entered Fang Mu's room.
Only Liu Xi and the two stewards under Liu Xi's control, Liu Yi and Liu Er, entered briefly to report to Fang Mu.
Now that the Blood of Abundance had improved in quality, the production speed of Covenant Blood Essence was significantly faster than before.
At the moment, Covenant Blood Essence was what Fang Mu needed most.
Initially, Fang Mu thought that the Exhausted Blood Flower Spirit would enhance his blood generation speed.
With this, he assumed he'd be able to produce surplus Covenant Blood Essence, but reality proved otherwise.
As Fang Mu continued to develop—especially as he simultaneously explored two dimensional worlds—the scarcity of Covenant Blood Essence became increasingly apparent.
Initially, Fang Mu had little confidence in exploring the Giant Beast World, a realm far superior to the Beastmaster World in every sense.
But after contracting the Jeh ancient snake, witnessing its immense strength, and realizing he could enhance its abilities through pure spirit qi and elemental energies, Fang Mu's confidence surged.
Still, confidence is not arrogance, and Fang Mu remained vigilant.
In exploring the Giant Beast World, Fang Mu resolved to adopt a cautious, patient approach, focusing on gradually building his forces within this dimensional realm before making any grand moves.
Fang Mu was acutely aware that the resources and power he currently possessed in this Giant Beast World were unimpressive given the challenges ahead.
