บท 141: Chapter 139.
Chapter 139.
The words left Tang San and Dugu Bo stunned.
"Huh! Why would I fear my own poison?" Dugu Bo sneered.
"Oh?"
Wang Feng chuckled suddenly. "If you're not afraid, then why poison yourself? A Titled Douluo, to poison others, you are even willing to poison yourself? That would make you truly ruthless. Unless you're also affected by your own martial soul's poison, and as your cultivation increases, the toxins in your body also intensify. Tell me, aren't you afraid of your own poison?"
"I bet you worry about your body's poison day and night, don't you?"
At this revelation, Dugu was taken aback as his eyes narrowed dangerously.
Tang San was equally surprised after hearing this.
He had also discerned that Dugu Bo must also be afflicted by his poison, given his exceptional proficiency in the mentioned art. Naturally, it was evident that Dugu Bo was heavily poisoned!
But how did Brother Feng know?
Could it be that he is also knowledgeable in the art of poisoning?
"Your speculation is utterly absurd. I've been using poison for decades, and now according to you, who has not even reached Soul Ancestor level, I'm supposedly poisoned? Boy, do you think you can get away by fabricating such a lie?" Dugu Bo vehemently denied.
Wang Feng sighed, approached Tang San, and spoke with a smile, "Little San, enlighten this senior. What's the state of his body!"
"…" Tang San looked at him as if he was an alien.
'Why are you asking me this out of the blue?'
There's no way Wang Feng could possibly know all of the symptoms as good as Tang San. He only knows from the original work that Dugu Bo had poisoned himself like a noob, but recalling specific details and symptoms from millions of words would be impossible for him. Wang Feng couldn't genuinely understand poisons, was merely pretending in front of Dugu Bo.
Tang San cleared his throat and casually stated some symptoms of pains and asked Dugu Bo, if he did feel that way.
Tang San concluded.
"How did you know all these?" Dugu Bo blurted out, immediately regretting it. 'Wasn't he exposing himself?'
Yet, Dugu Bo was genuinely surprised. How could these two brats discern his biggest secret?
With this realization, murderous intent in huge amount started oozing from Dugu Bo's eyes, almost instantly directed at Tang San!
In that moment, Wang Feng positioned himself in front of Tang San, braving the murderous aura. Black Lotus was also secretly activated!
"Thanks for the murderous greeting!" Wang Feng declared loudly.
"…" Dugu Bo was on the verge of bursting out.
Tang San instinctively summoned his martial soul Blue Silver Grass, and the Eight Spider Lances materialized behind him. Confronted with Dugu Bo's murderous intent, Tang San felt the impending challenge and prepared to resist with all his strength if necessary.
Luckily, Brother Feng acted swiftly, bringing relief to Tang San.
"You, boy!" Dugu Bo was genuinely furious.
This kid is exceptionally irritating!
"…"
Suddenly, Tang San perceived Dugu Bo's rapid breathing, a clear sign of his escalating anger.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, dismissing Wang Feng. He shifted his attention to the Eight Spider Lances behind Tang San, sneering, "So, an external soul bone. No wonder it could absorb Yaner's jade Phosphorous Violet Poison. What a shame..."
The regret stemmed from the fact that this external soul bone had already fused with the kid. Otherwise, he could have employed certain methods to remove it.
"Boy, do you also possess an external soul bone?" Dugu Bo glared at Wang Feng. "That day, your chest completely repelled the force of my serpent's tail. Ordinary strength can't accomplish that, can it?"
"Do I have an external soul bone? Why am I unaware?" Wang Feng asked in astonishment.
"Apologies, senior, my third soul ability involves rebounding power back to the attacker. You might not be aware, but in the instant you struck me, I activated my third soul ability..."
"Nonsense! Do you think I can't detect you using your soul ability if you release it?" Dugu Bo sneered. "You don't have to confess, I'll strip you two and dissect you later!"
Tang San's heart sank a bit. Poison Douluo, practitioners of poison, tended to be exceptionally ruthless, a characteristic vividly displayed by this Poison Douluo.
At this moment...
"As you wish..."
Wang Feng sighed and continued, "Even if I die, it doesn't matter. I can still be happy that you, a Titled Douluo and your lovely granddaughter, will follow us soon, and perhaps your granddaughter might even suffer some agonizing pain! Xiaosan, don't you agree?"
Tang San was taken aback, but a faint smile appeared on his lips. "Indeed."
"What do you mean?" Dugu Bo's voice suddenly grew low.
"Senior, aren't you aware of the effects of your own poison?" Wang Feng pointed at Dugu Bo's hair and eyes.
"Look at yourself—who has green hair and eyes, even your granddaughter, who inherited your martial soul and trained under your guidance, shares the same features. You carry a lingering scent of fishiness. Do you not notice?"
Tang San chuckled and added, "Your poison not only harms you but also extends to your descendants. Even if you've ingested some natural treasures to suppress these toxins, can you truly keep them at bay for a lifetime? Moreover, your granddaughter's situation is even more unfortunate. The poison afflicts her from birth, worsening as time continues to pass."
The collaborative words of the two left Dugu Bo in a state of panic.
"So you're saying that you can detoxify my granddaughter and me?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, Tang San and Wang Feng exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
Wang Feng chuckled because he could indeed remedy the situation. By fully activating the golden lotus, he could completely heal even near-death beings, boasting remarkably potent effects. Eliminating Dugu Bo's poison might be achievable in just a few sessions. However, using the Golden Lotus to its full potential was highly draining and would expose him, a risk Wang Feng wasn't willing to take. Additionally, Tang San also possessed the ability to cure Dugu Bo's poison, so there was no need for Wang Feng to resort to the Golden Lotus.
Being caught in this situation, Wang Feng's true aim was to find and have a look at the treasures concealed near the Ice and Fire Lake.
Tang San hadn't anticipated Dugu Bo to concede so quickly upon teaming up with Feng'ge. On one hand, Dugu Bo genuinely couldn't cure his own poisoning. On the other, he cared deeply for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan. Faced with these two factors, yielding was the only logical choice.
Dugu Bo remained passive, and even his murderous aura also slowly faded away.
Wang Feng's keen perception noticed that Dugu Bo probably harbored no ill intentions towards them.
Dugu Bo fell silent. The two individuals before him were indeed extraordinary—one, a thirteen-year-old prodigy, and the other, a thirty-fourth-level control system Soul Elder boasting an external soul bone. One was a monster in the making, while the other was already a monster. Wang Feng, not only possessed formidable soul power but also demonstrated an immunity to poison, an indifference to Dugu Bo's murderous aura, and an ability that eluded easy comprehension.
"No need for mockery." Dugu Bo spoke lightly. "As long as you can truly prove your capability to neutralize my poison, I won't harm you. You need not doubt me. As a Titled Douluo, if I truly intended to kill you, there would be no need for me to linger until now. Moreover, I bear no grudges against you, I'm merely here out of curiosity sparked by what Yan'er mentioned."
The reality was that in their earlier skirmish, Tang San hadn't harmed Dugu Yan. Instead, he had only alleviated her poison. Thus, Dugu Bo's apprehension of Tang San was fueled by curiosity about the detoxification process rather than a desire for revenge. As for Wang Feng, the situation was different, and Dugu Bo was eager to settle the score with him, this bastard had truly fooled him.
"That's acceptable!" Tang San sighed with relief, speaking casually. "How do we prove it?"
"How do you prove it?" Dugu Bo mused. "I use poison, and you concoct the antidote yourselves. You can't rely on a soul ability to become immune to my poison. Kid, I'll give you one day. After that, I'll administer three doses of poison. If you can create an antidote and eliminate it, I'll believe you."
"I have various herbs, now, I'll take you there!"
With that, Dugu Bo stood and walked out. Wang Feng was quite stirred, understanding that Dugu Bo intended to lead them to a specific location.
The two followed Dugu Bo out of the cave and into the forest.
"An oasis?" Tang San observed the landscape in the distance. The surroundings were filled with forests and they were atop a small hill. Dugu Bo led the way, ascending the hill effortlessly.
Observing this, the two also promptly followed.
Before long, they reached the summit of the hill.
"A hot lake?" Tang San remarked, his gaze fixed on the mountain peak ahead. A distinctive scent wafted into his nostrils from a distance—the smell of sulfur.
"It's indeed a suitable place. The girls, especially Rongrong, would surely enjoy such locations," Wang Feng commented to himself.
At that moment, Dugu Bo spoke lightly, "Come with me."
With that, he leaped off the cliff at the other end.
Tang San furrowed his brow, observing the steep cliff. He suggested, "Brother Feng, you stay on my back, and I'll carry you down with me."
The cliff was too deep for a conventional descent. With his eight spider spears, Tang San could traverse it like a spider, but the same couldn't be said for Wang Feng.
"No, a real man needs to experience the sensation of flying." Wang Feng declared, shaking his head. Stepping at the cliff's end, he looked down for a moment and stepped off the cliff, imitating a certain God Killer's approach, though he lacked the bgm 'dream on'.
As he descended, his limbs remained at his sides. After a while, he vanished into the night.
"…" Tang San.
Observing this, Tang San promptly employed his Eight Spider Lances to crawl down the cliff swiftly. It appeared that Dugu Bo intended to put them in an awkward position, but escaping wasn't a significant concern. They had declared their intentions so confidently that fleeing would only be a self-inflicted humiliation.
However, Tang San hesitated to jump as Wang Feng did. After all not everyone has a screw loose as Brother Feng.
At the base of the cliff, Dugu Bo descended steadily. The cliff wasn't particularly high, and for a Titled Douluo like him, who can fly, it posed minimal challenge.
In a moment of curiosity, Dugu Bo glanced back, anticipating a bit of awkwardness for the two arrogant youths.
Yet, as he turned his head, he witnessed Wang Feng displaying an even more audacious mid-air posture than his own. The way Wang Feng was descending, Dugu Bo felt a slight tingle on his scalp, surprised by the boldness of the young man named Wang Feng speeding down head first.
"This kid, won't he die?" Dugu Bo couldn't help but curse, knowing he couldn't allow the young man to meet his end, as he still sought a remedy for his own poison.
But as he prepared to catch Wang Feng, he observed the young man humming in mid-air, chanting, "Dream On~"
"…" Dugu Bo.
Following the humming, Dugu Bo witnessed Wang Feng execute a cool front flip in mid-air. Landing with a resounding thump with one of his legs in a kneeling posture, causing the earth to crack in spider-web like fashion, sending dust and debris flying all around.
"Oi, old man." Wang Feng grinned. "Did you wait long for me? I hope I didn't disappoint you."
"…" Dugu Bo was taken aback. Is this kid for real? Dugu Bo glanced at Wang Feng, unable to resist asking.
"Of course, you would not be surprised, I can barely split a mountain or topple an ancient tree. It's nowhere near the level of an old man Titled Douluo like you." Wang Feng sighed.
The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. He noticed Tang San also swiftly descending the cliff using Eight Spider Lances.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo snorted disdainfully and turned his gaze to the valley on the other side.
Tang San joined them, also peering into the valley.
Wang Feng, too, observed with flickering eyes:
This is the Ice and Fire Lake!
