According to the information collected from the Dragon Transformation Sect, given enough time, a third-order Flood Dragon can easily undergo hybridization and give birth to two or three Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts without any issues.
Therefore, Zhou Chun, upon learning the news, was overjoyed and immediately asked Zhou Daoyi to take him to the Flood Dragon Nest to visit those hybridized Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts.
The Flood Dragon Nest where the Green Flood Dragon Qingqing resided was ultimately not set up in the underground river channel, but in a secluded deep mountain pool not far from Jiufeng Ridge.
This secluded deep mountain pool was the source of a river within Lanzhou, and from the outside, it did not seem large, spanning only a mere seven or eight acres of water.
However, the spring eye at the bottom of the pool was extremely bountiful, also linked to an underground water vein with rather dense Spiritual Energy.
When Zhou Daoyi first discovered this place, he decided to establish the Flood Dragon Nest here.
At this time, Zhou Chun accompanied Zhou Daoyi to this Flood Dragon Nest and was easily led by the welcoming Green Flood Dragon into the Nest below.
The two men rode on the back of the Flood Dragon and after descending more than twenty zhang, they made their way through the spring eye at the bottom of the pool into an underground lake.
Compared to the modest exterior pool, this underground lake’s surface area was several times larger.
According to Zhou Daoyi, at the beginning, the area of this underground lake was even smaller than half of the surface water body. Its current size was the result of Green Flood Dragon Qingqing’s own digging and expansion.
This place could now be considered the outskirts of the Flood Dragon Nest.
And the true Flood Dragon Nest was situated deeper within the underground lake.
Speaking of the Flood Dragon Nest, many might assume it to be a cave.
But in reality, that is not the case.
The Flood Dragon Nest is just a term, meaning the place where a Flood Dragon dwells.
Not all Flood Dragons prefer to reside in caves.
At least the Green Flood Dragon Qingqing didn’t.
Hence, its Flood Dragon Nest was very special; the true main body of the nest was actually a large stone pillar crafted from abyssal stones.
This large black stone pillar was thirty zhang in height and so thick that it would take four people embracing it to circle around. Green Flood Dragon Qingqing would usually coil around it to rest.
Around this black stone pillar were scattered a large number of water attribute Spirit Jade, spiritual shells, and ores, as well as numerous low-grade Demon Beasts like clams and mussels captured from Dragon Abyss Marsh, and even some corners had water plants emitting Spiritual Energy planted.
All these items were deliberately placed there by the Zhou Family, naturally aiming for them to transform into Dragon Blood Spirit Items under the influence of Green Flood Dragon’s aura.
However, if one had to point out the most conspicuous thing here, it wouldn’t be the stone pillar where the Green Flood Dragon resided but rather a location behind the pillar emitting white light.
That area was a dry zone, and it was also the base for the Zhou Family to cultivate Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts.
This dry zone was not large, amounting to less than two acres in size.
Its existence was entirely attributable to a Formation.
When Zhou Chongshan was still alive, he used the Aquatic Deer and other materials sourced from Dragon Abyss Marsh to set up this Water-repelling Formation.
Since the establishment of this Water-repelling Formation, the Zhou Family started to nurture various Demon Beasts like the Octagonal Aquatic Deer and the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent here, hoping that over time, they might transform into Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts.
Now, after many years, they finally had their harvest.
Currently, arriving outside the Water-repelling Formation, Zhou Chun fixed his gaze and easily spotted the successful hybridized Dragon Descendant Demon Beast.
Inside that Water-repelling Formation, a vibrant green One-Horned Flying Serpent was hissing and spitting out its snake tongue, looking up to them with respect and submission as it bowed down to the Green Flood Dragon behind them, constantly hissing.
Indeed, this vibrant green One-Horned Flying Serpent was the hybridized Dragon Descendant Demon Beast evolved from the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent.
Originally, the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent was an all-green Demon Beast with a fleshy lump on its head resembling a rooster’s comb.

Now affected by the Green Flood Dragon bloodline mutation, its color has turned to a bluish-green, and the original flesh tumors have also mutated into flesh horns.
At this moment, Zhou Chun stared at the One-Horned Flying Serpent for a while before asking Zhou Daoyi, "I wonder, compared to the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent, what changes have there been in the mutated Demon Beast’s abilities?"
Zhou Daoyi had obviously visited once before, and upon hearing Zhou Chun’s question, he immediately replied, "After the mutation, the Demon Beast has gained a Wind Attribute. Its flying speed has increased, and it can spit a unique poisonous wind arrow spell while also mastering the wind blade spell."
"These are only the currently known abilities. Whether it can awaken and control more abilities as it grows and evolves is yet to be observed."
The original Emerald Crown Flying Serpent’s means of attack were basically only two, close-range pouncing and biting, and spitting venomous water arrows.
If it weren’t for its venomous water arrows being a spell, it wouldn’t even deserve to be called a Demon Beast.
Therefore, although there were quite a few people in the Zhou Family who contracted and domesticated this kind of Demon Beast, no one considered it as a main battle pet, just as a special tactic.
However, if, as Zhou Daoyi said, the mutated One-Horned Flying Serpent could awaken and control other Wind Walking Techniques, then it would qualify to be a main battle pet for a Cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm.
"Have you tried testing the potency of the poison from this mutated One-Horned Flying Serpent? Compared to the ordinary Emerald Crown Flying Serpent, has the toxicity of the venom increased?"
Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly asked Zhou Daoyi another question.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Daoyi was also taken aback, then, after pondering for a moment, nodded and said, "I haven’t tried that yet, but perhaps we can try it now!"
And try they did!
Zhou Daoyi promptly fetched a regular Emerald Crown Flying Serpent and the One-Horned Flying Serpent, allowing them both to bite his finger.
Only a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator like him would dare to test poison on himself.
After all, a mere first-order poisonous snake, no matter how potent its venom, couldn’t pose a lethal threat to a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator like him.

After personally testing, Zhou Daoyi quickly nodded and said, "That’s right, the toxicity of the venom has indeed increased. The venom of the One-Horned Flying Serpent is clearly much stronger."
Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, immediately said with delight, "That’s great. The original toxicity of the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent was already enough to pose a fatal threat to Qi Refinement Realm Cultivators. With this increase in toxicity, likely many first-order Demon Beasts won’t be able to withstand it."
After speaking, he looked at Zhou Daoyi and asked, "Have you thought of a name for this new mutated Demon Beast?"
As the master of Qingqing, the Green Flood Dragon, Zhou Daoyi was naturally the first choice to name this brand-new Dragon Descendant Demon Beast.
Therefore, after listening to Zhou Chun’s words, he looked at the One-Horned Flying Serpent and pondered seriously.
After a while, he softly said, "How about Windshadow Dragon Serpent?"
He then muttered to himself, "It has the Wind Attribute, fast as a shadow, a hybrid of dragon and serpent... Yes, let’s call it the Windshadow Dragon Serpent!"
Saying so, he officially determined the name for the One-Horned Flying Serpent.
"What an apt name, Windshadow Dragon Serpent! Indeed a good name!"
Zhou Chun couldn’t help clapping in approval, very satisfied with the name Zhou Daoyi had chosen.
Then he looked at the newly named Windshadow Dragon Serpent and said, "Then we’ll take this Windshadow Dragon Serpent back to be a breeding serpent. In the future, all the eggs it lays will be sent to the Flood Dragon Nest for incubation. In no more than a decade or so, I expect the Windshadow Dragon Serpent population could expand to dozens of individuals."
Naturally mutated Dragon Descendant Demon Beasts have relatively stable bloodlines that can be passed down.

Therefore, even if the Windshadow Dragon Serpent crossbred with the Emerald Crown Flying Serpent to produce eggs, there is a chance that the hatched young snakes could be Windshadow Dragon Serpents.
Moreover, if the eggs are exposed to similar Flood Dragon aura immediately after being laid, the chances of them hatching into Windshadow Dragon Serpents would increase manifold.
Compared with this efficient method of species expansion, the Zhou Family’s other artificially cultivated Mixed-Blood Beast, the Redflame Vajra Ape, had a much lower rate of species expansion.
Such are the benefits of possessing a Flood Dragon.
