Bab 234: Ice Fire Alchemical Body (2)
After careful consideration, Flender proposed that they return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
Before at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, when those three board members had been ready to confront the Poison Douluo, they were clearly familiar with him. Perhaps they would know Dugu Bo's whereabouts. And if they didn't, they could just go look for that prince Xue Xing.
Of course, confronting an imperial prince was clearly unwise, but under pressure it wasn't an issue.
After all, whether it was Grandmaster and Liu Erlong's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon school or Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, both were among the seven great schools of the present age. Even if prince Xue Xing's status was even higher, he still wouldn't dare offend two of the great schools of the Empire.
But in the end the trio hadn't used their plan to corner the prince by force. The three Spirit Douluo board members were ashamed over the previous events, and when they met again at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, as they heard Tang San had been kidnapped by Dugu Bo, the three were immediately greatly shocked.
They told the Golden Iron Triangle that Dugu Bo had always been eccentric. Even if he was employed by the imperial family he didn't live in Heaven Dou City, but in the sunset forest. Reportedly he lived on a mountain, but they didn't know the concrete location.
The three Spirit Douluo board members expressed regret over Tang San being missing, but they also expressed their inability to help the Shrek group deal with Dugu Bo. Flender's trio naturally knew why without explanations.
Who would want to go confront the terrifying toxins of the Poison Douluo? Even Spirit Douluo level powers would be fearful of facing such persistent poison.
The Golden Iron Triangle didn't beg, and the trio left the Academy as swift as lightning, rushing to the Sunset Forest guided by Liu Erlong.
The Sunset Forest was about a hundred li east of Heaven Dou City. One of Heaven Dou Empire's several large spirit beast habitats, even if it wasn't as vast as the Star Luo Great Forest it was still home to numerous high level spirit beasts.
Since entering the Sunset Forest in the morning, the trio had already spent a whole day searching, only briefly resting before continuing.
Even if Liu Erlong didn't know much about Tang San, she still greatly admired the words he had used on Grandmaster, to say nothing of Tang San being the direct disciple of her beloved. What is called 'love the house and its crow', even if she wasn't as anxious as Grandmaster and Flender, she was still deeply concerned.
"Erlong, let's rest a moment."
Flender paused, gasping slightly. Rushing for a day didn't really count for anything to a seventy plus ranked Spirit Sage like him, but he was somewhat tired mentally.
Erlong stopped in front of Flender and Grandmaster. Seeing Grandmaster's lowered face, she consolingly said:
"Don't worry, Xiao Gang. I think Dugu Bo might not necessarily want to kill Tang San, otherwise he would have done so immediately at our Academy. Why kidnap him?"
Grandmaster sighed, a painful light flickering in his eyes,
"No, you don't understand. Dugu Bo kidnapping Tang San is definitely because he injured Dugu Yan, and the talent in poisons Tang San showed. If my guess is correct, then Dugu Bo is definitely interested in Tang San's poison. Looking to see just what his poison is. And I'm certain Dugu Bo wouldn't let Tang San live. It's just a question of how long Tang San is of use to him. Someone like Dugu Bo is just plain evil, his reputation in the Spirit Master world is bad, always doing whatever he wants. With little San's talent, if it was me, I wouldn't let little San off."
Flender laughed bitterly,
"If something really happened to little San, how could we justify it to that person?"
"That person? Who are you talking about?"
Liu Erlong asked somewhat puzzled.
Flender was just about to speak when, suddenly, a sharp hissing sound rose, surging like thunder, destroying the quiet of the night, causing a commotion among the spirit beasts in the forest.
The trio looked face to face, standing up practically simultaneously. They had naturally heard the astonishing power contained within that hissing sound, and such power was exclusive to Title Douluo. In this Sunset Forest, would there actually be a second Title Douluo?
Figures once again flashing, relying on that whistling sound for guidance, the trio leapt up, advancing swiftly.
Dugu Bo stood at the cave entrance, looking into the night sky with a jade light flickering in his eyes. Both hands at his back, spitting out a murky qi.
He had just now endured the suffering Tang San had mentioned. If it was just a matter of pain he might be able to endure, but that feeling of his heart itching wasn't something people could take. With Dugu Bo's strength, right now his clothes were soaked through. His long whistling sound was an expression of his depression after that pain.
Wonder if that kid has died. Dugu Bo thought to himself. He was extremely familiar with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it wasn't a place where living creatures could survive. There where all kinds of plants there, but while plants could survive, creature's couldn't.
He had once seen a poisonous six headed bright chameleon enter the range of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and within just a few hours it had burst and died.
For some reason Dugu Bo was somewhat regretful. He actually had a bit of confidence in Tang San, and if that kid could really cure him and his granddaughter, wouldn't he be throwing away his best chance?
Perhaps this test was too challenging for him.
While thinking of this, Dugu Bo's mood changed somewhat. Recalling Tang San's talent, he suddenly thought that might that child not be able to really cure him?
No good, light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He'd go have a look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and if Tang San was still alive he'd consider it again.
As Dugu Bo prepared to ascend the hill, suddenly three long whistles echoed simultaneously, two strong and one weak, perhaps muffled, perhaps impassioned, but none lacked intense hostility. The whistling sounds rapidly approached, and judging by their positions, the owners of those whistles were apparently coming to the mountain.
Dugu Bo squinted his eyes slightly, snorting disdainfully,
"Someone actually wants to challenge me? Fine, I'll take a look at who is so brazen."
Abandoning his plan to climb the mountain, Dugu Bo took a step, instantly reaching the cliff precipice overhanging the cave. He spotted three silhouettes climbing the mountain towards him, leaping swiftly like shooting stars.
Looking at these three, Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with disdain. Just two seventy plus ranked Spirit Sages and actually even a thirtieth ranked Spirit Grandmaster. Were they coming to die?
It was no wonder Dugu Bo felt this way. With his Title Douluo strength, let alone a Spirit Sage, even a Spirit Douluo would tremble to confront him. To say nothing of his poison not being something people could casually contend with.
Even equally ranked Title Douluo would be careful, with one mistake against his poison they would inevitably perish.
The Golden Iron Triangle trio leapt up simultaneously, floating towards Dugu Bo. Even if they had all along wished to be able to find him faster, actually confronting this poison titled Douluo, their hearts couldn't help falling.
Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes brimming with a sinister jade light, watching them with a burning gaze, the formidable pressure making the air feel congealed. Grandmaster didn't have the spirit power protection Flender and Liu Erlong had, and this pressure alone was enough to be fatal for him.
"Were you looking for me?"
Dugu Bo said coldly.
Grandmaster said angrily:
"Dugu Bo. Tang San. Where are you keeping him?"
Dugu Bo disdainfully said:
"What creature are you? How are you qualified to question me?"
"You..."
Grandmaster was about to speak again, but was stopped by Flender.
