Chapter 39: This Seat Is Not Poisoned!
“Looking like this, it’s clearly severe poisoning, terminally ill.” March 7th couldn’t help but whisper softly.
Meng Huaifeng glanced at March 7th, big sis, my squad voice chat isn’t on!
Sure enough, Dugu Bo’s expression changed, and he said angrily: “Nonsense! This seat’s title is Poison, how could I be poisoned? What a joke.”
“It really is a joke. Poison Douluo is poisoned himself but refuses to admit it. Too funny.” Xing said very honestly.
Lies won’t hurt people; the truth is the sharp blade.
Xing’s words brought a flush of blood to Dugu Bo’s stiff face. Furious, he said: “This seat said it, this seat is not poisoned! No matter how you found this place or what your purpose is, once I capture you, we’ll see if you talk.”
“We’re not refusing to say! We’re here to help you. We can cure the poison you’re afflicted with.” Meng Huaifeng hurriedly said.
“Leaving aside that this seat is not poisoned, for no reason at all, you say you want to help me? So kind-hearted? I’ll make you tell the truth.” Dugu Bo underwent Martial Spirit Possession, waved his hand, and poisonous mist surged toward the five.
“You all fall back.” Dan Heng protected everyone behind him.
“Cloud Chant Technique, Mist of Purification.”
A mass of white mist rose around the four. It wasn’t dense, but it firmly blocked the poisonous mist outside. The green and white mists were clearly separated, with no sign of mingling.
“It’s like this again. Clearly good intentions, yet suspected of ulterior motives.” From within the mist, March 7th sighed, helpless.
“Do you often run into this before?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“Something like that. So we usually charge a bit of reward. That way, the person being helped feels more at ease.” March 7th spread her hands.
“Is that so? Then earlier, I should have first said I wanted a few herbs from him as reward for detoxifying him.” Meng Huaifeng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
“No problem. He can’t beat us. We’ll help with this for sure!” Xing slightly raised her chin.
Zhu Zhuqing watched with a scratch of her head. Her understanding of the Train Crew increased a bit more. Rushing to help others only to be suspected—truly eye-opening.
How can there be such a stupid（strike-through）good organization in the world? Dying of laughter.
Wait, she’s also a beneficiary, so that’s fine.
The four chatted idly and watched the show in the water mist. Dan Heng mobilized a thread of energy, pointed his sword vertically, and a water dragon over ten meters long and as thick as a bucket roared toward Dugu Bo.
Compared to March 7th and Xing’s novelty with Martial Spirits, Dan Heng didn’t particularly like using them.
Seeing Dan Heng’s young appearance, Dugu Bo relied on his status and didn’t even dodge. He didn’t even use a Soul Skill. His right hand imitated a snake tail’s force and whipped toward the dragon head.
“Boom!”
Irresistible force crashed onto Dugu Bo like a flood, endlessly. Dugu Bo’s airborne figure tumbled uncontrollably dozens of meters away!
Dugu Bo was greatly shocked in his heart. This power, how could it be so strong?
When did the continent gain such a young-looking Titled Douluo?
As the disgrace of Titled Douluo, in a one-on-one, the weakest Dugu Bo steadied himself and without hesitation unleashed Martial Spirit True Body. A thirty-plus-meter-long Emerald Scaled Snake Emperor sprayed various poisonous mists while charging straight at Dan Heng.
Dan Heng’s eyes focused, dragon horns grew on his forehead, revealing part of his Dragon Lord true form.
Just as no matter which universe’s human race is still human race, other universes’ Dragon Clan might not be Imbibitor descendants, but they are still Dragon Clan recognized by the Holding Ming Clan.
Dragon Clan, hierarchy strict. Dragon might is extremely effective against lower dragonkin, flood dragons, snakes, and such.
In an instant, Dugu Bo froze in place. Half his strength was gone. Instinct from his bloodline madly reminded him not to act, not to act!
“Splash.”
Accompanied by a sound of water, two water dragons no less impressive than before reformed on either side of Dan Heng, winding and coiling around him, as if ready to pounce at any moment.
“Wait!” Dugu Bo canceled Martial Spirit True Body, reverting to human form. He instantly felt much more at ease; the suppression he felt was at least halved compared to before.
“This old man admits defeat. Dare I ask which Your Excellency is before me?” Dugu Bo said in a complex tone.
The two water dragons dispersed. Dan Heng withdrew his Dragon Lord true form and said: “Train Crew guard, Dan Heng. We came to find you, old mister, with no ill intent. It’s just that divination revealed your medicine garden has a few herbs we need, and the problem you’re facing happens to be something we can resolve.”
The Pioneer Squad’s understanding of Dugu Bo wasn’t limited to Meng Huaifeng’s cognition. They had also asked locals on Douluo Star. Dugu Bo was somewhat reclusive, his personality both righteous and evil, and his poison expertise gave a bad impression at first listen, but he truly hadn’t done anything heinous like poisoning and massacring commoners without cause.
So the Pioneer Squad was willing to proactively help Dugu Bo detoxify.
What organization is the Train Crew? Never heard of it. But that doesn’t matter.
Can’t beat them, and they know his secret. Dugu Bo struggled for a moment, finally stopped being stubborn, sighed, and said: “You’re right, sir. I am indeed afflicted with severe poison, as is my granddaughter. If you can detoxify me and my granddaughter, forget a few herbs—even the entire medicine garden is yours without issue.”
“Don’t speak so absolutely. If you knew the true value of your medicine garden, not sure if you’d still be willing to give it.” Meng Huaifeng teased.
“A mere medicine garden, how can it compare to my granddaughter’s life?” Dugu Bo didn’t mind. Without his granddaughter’s life, no matter how valuable the medicine garden, it would be meaningless.
Dugu Bo took out a few pills and said: “These are the antidote pills I prepared. Eat them, and you won’t fear this poisonous mist. Let’s discuss in detail in the medicine garden.”
One must not have the heart to harm others; one must be vigilant against others.
“No need. With Cloud Chant Technique protection, mere poisonous mist is no concern.” Dan Heng refused. The white mist enveloping everyone slowly moved forward, parting the poisonous mist wherever it went.
In Dugu Bo’s view, this was undoubtedly a show of force against him.
Dugu Bo put away the pills and led the way ahead.
First, they crossed the outer hills. An inverted conical valley appeared before everyone. Through layers of mist, they could see a hot spring at the valley center. The spring wasn’t large, with no barriers in the middle, yet it naturally divided into milky white and vermilion red sections, clearly separated, neither invading the other, always staying on their own side.
At the junction of the two-colored hot springs, steam billowed upward. The surroundings were full of exotic flowers and herbs; not a single ordinary flower or grass could be seen.
“This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes? Truly a wonder.” Meng Huaifeng exclaimed.
“Wow, so spectacular.” March 7th watched, dazzled.
“Wow, so spectacular.” Xing followed right after.
Before March 7th could glare at her, Zhu Zhuqing couldn’t help but say: “Wow, so spectacular.”
Sure enough, the essence of humans is a parrot.
March 7th completely lost it, her little hands hammering Xing’s back: “Look at you! You’ve even taught Zhu Qing little sis bad!”
