Douluo: I am an ice shooter, my ice power is invincible

Chapter 9 Dugu Bo, you are awesome!
The three of them took a carriage to Sunset Forest and arrived at their destination more than half a month later.

Under the leadership of Lin Zhiruo, Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er entered the Sunset Forest.

This place is about two hundred miles east of Tiandou City. It is spring-like all year round and the climate is suitable.

The sunlight shines through the dense treetops, casting mottled shadows, covering the vast forest with a golden coat.

The air is filled with the faint scent of flowers and soil, occasionally mixed with the roar of unknown beasts, adding a bit of mystery and wildness.

"Xiaohan, hurry up and find whatever herbs you're looking for. We'll leave when we find them."

"Okay, there's nothing on the outskirts. Let's look in the center of the forest."

"I really can't do anything with you. I won't bring you here next time."

Although there are many soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, there are not many whose cultivation is over ten thousand years old.

Lin Zhiruo has the strength of a Soul Saint and an extremely fast flying speed. She is not worried even if she takes two children to the center of the forest.

The three of them traveled through the forest and encountered many soul beasts along the way.

Lin Zhiruo's powerful aura made those thousand-year-old soul beasts dare not approach easily.

Several soul beasts that tried to approach her were driven away by her.

"Xiao Han, have you finished collecting the herbs?"

"Mom, don't rush me. I don't know when I'll come here next time. Let me pick a few more plants."

Xiao Han picked a few herbs and carefully placed them into the soul guide.

Those herbs do have some effects, but compared to the magic grass, they are nothing.

The three of them were getting closer and closer to the center of the forest and could feel the change in temperature.

"Xiaohan, it seems to be getting hotter and hotter. Let's stop here and go back."

"Mom, can you please go a little further? There may be a surprise ahead."

Xiao Han had a strong premonition that this place was not far from the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Seeing that Lin Zhiruo was a little angry, Shui Binger said:

"Dean Lin, we are already here, so let's walk a little further with Xiaohan."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er smiled at each other and gave her a grateful look.

The three continued walking towards the center of the forest.

As I was walking, suddenly a pungent smell came from the front.

"Xiaohan, don't move forward!"

Lin Zhiruo grabbed Xiao Han with one hand and Shui Bing'er with the other, and retreated a hundred meters away in an instant.

"That strange smell just now seemed to be a toxin."

Xiao Han also smelled the strange smell, and immediately had a bad feeling in his heart: Could it be that Dugu Bo had set up the Green Scale Snake Poison Formation? Had he discovered the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire?

Lin Zhiruo frowned, as if she realized something, and suddenly became nervous.

"Xiao Han, Bing'er, it's dangerous here, let's go."

Just as they were about to leave, an invisible force instantly enveloped the three of them.

Even if Lin Zhiruo wanted to resist, she couldn't move at all.

A dark green figure slowly walked out from the depths of the dense forest like a ghost. Every step he took seemed to be in accordance with an invisible beat. The air around him was slightly distorted by the soul power surging in his body.

There was a cold light flashing in those deep eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!"

The man's voice was low and hoarse, with unquestionable majesty.

Although Xiao Han couldn't see the face clearly, he knew that he was Dugu Bo.

Unexpectedly, he discovered the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire so early.

Lin Zhiruo's face was solemn as she recognized the person as the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. She knew that Dugu Bo's strength was unfathomable, and his Jade Scaled Snake King Poison was the best in the world. If she was not careful, she would be doomed.

Lin Zhiruo tried to remain calm and defuse the potential crisis with words.

"Senior Dugu, I am Lin Zhiruo, the vice president of Tianshui College. We have no intention of offending you. We just strayed into this place by mistake. I hope you can forgive us."

"Tianshui College?"

Dugu Bo glanced at Lin Zhiruo coldly, feeling the cold breath on her body, and knew that she was not lying.

Many years ago, Dugu Bo met Dean Zhao of Tianshui College, but they were not familiar with each other.

"What are you doing here?"

"Let's go find the soul beast."

Before Lin Zhiruo could answer, Xiao Han answered first.

He knew that Dugu Bo was very suspicious. If he let Dugu Bo know that they were here to look for medicinal herbs, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Yes, we are here to find soul beasts."

Lin Zhiruo knew that Xiao Han was always smart and that he must have his reasons for saying that, so she agreed with him.

Dugu Bo glanced at Xiao Han, thinking that he would not dare to lie.

Little did he know that the six-year-old boy was coveting his medicine garden.

"I have set up a poison formation ahead. Even a soul beast with ten thousand years of cultivation dare not approach it easily. Once these two children step into the poison formation, they will surely die. This is not the place for you to come. Go quickly."

"Thank you for the reminder, we will leave now."

As soon as Lin Zhiruo finished speaking, Dugu Bo disappeared. His speed was too fast.

"Xiaohan, Bing'er, let's go!"

Lin Zhiruo took Xiao Han and Shui Bing'er and flew directly out of the Sunset Forest.

After the three people landed, they were still in shock.

Shui Binger asked:
"Dean Lin, who was that old man just now?"

"He is Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

"So he is a Title Douluo, no wonder he is so powerful."

"Dugu Bo is a solitary person who likes to be alone. He is the best poisoner in the world. I heard that his methods are cruel and he has made many enemies because of this."

Thinking of what just happened, Xiao Han was still frightened and felt a little guilty.

"Mom, I'm sorry. I brought you into danger."

"Xiao Han, you don't have to blame yourself. This was just an accident. We have no grudges against Dugu Bo. Dean Zhao took me to meet him before. Even if he doesn't remember me, he won't make things difficult for us if he knows we are from Tianshui College."

"Ah."

Xiao Han felt better now.

However, this experience further aroused his desire to pick the magic herb.

"By the way, Xiaohan, why did you just say that we are here to look for soul beasts?"

"Mom, don't you find it strange? Dugu Bo set up a poison array in the center of the forest, as if he was deliberately guarding something. Neither humans nor soul beasts can get close to the poison array. I guess there may be something extremely precious in it, maybe exotic flowers and herbs. If he knew that we were here to collect herbs, he might want to kill us."

After listening to Xiao Han's explanation, Lin Zhiruo was terrified.

"Xiao Han, you are so young, yet you are able to think so carefully. Use your intelligence in cultivation, and don't take any more risks."

"Well, I see."

A few days later, the three returned to Tianshui College.

Lin Zhiruo told Dean Zhao about their experiences in the Frozen Forest and the Sunset Forest.

After hearing this, President Zhao felt fortunate.

"I didn't expect you to run into Dugu Bo. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. Xiaohan and Bing'er are the future hope of our Tianshui Academy. They will surely stand out and shine at the Soul Master Competition in ten years."
