The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 39 I am not poisoned!

"Judging from this, he's clearly seriously poisoned and on his deathbed," March 7th couldn't help but whisper.

Meng Huaifeng glanced at March 7 and said, "Big sister, my team's voice chat isn't on!"
As expected, Dugu Bo's expression changed, and he angrily said, "Nonsense! My title is Poison, how could I be poisoned? This is simply a joke."

"It's a joke, really. Poison Douluo was poisoned himself, but he still refuses to admit it. It's hilarious," Xing said honestly.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Xing's words brought a touch of color to Dugu Bo's stiff face, and he said angrily, "I said I was not poisoned! No matter how you found this place or what your purpose is, as long as you are captured, we'll see if you talk."

“We didn’t say we wouldn’t. We came to help you. We can cure the poison you’ve been afflicted with,” Meng Huaifeng said hurriedly.

"Let's not even talk about the fact that I wasn't poisoned. You said you wanted to help me out of nowhere. Are you really that kind? I'll make you tell the truth." With his martial spirit activated, Dugu Bo waved his hand, and poisonous mist surged towards the five people.

"You all step back." Dan Heng shielded everyone behind him.

"Cloud Chant Technique, Purifying Mist."

A white mist rose around the four of them. It wasn't dense, but it effectively kept the poisonous fog out. The green and white fog were clearly separated, showing no signs of merging.

"It's happening again. I mean well, but I'm suspected of having ulterior motives." Through the mist, March 7th sighed helplessly.

"Did you often do this before?" Meng Huaifeng asked.

"Pretty much, that's why we usually charge a little something, so the people we help feel more at ease." March 7th shrugged.

"Is that so? Then I should have said earlier that I wanted a few medicinal herbs from him as a reward for giving him an antidote." Meng Huaifeng stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"It's alright, he can't beat us. We'll definitely help him out!" Xingwei raised her chin slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing scratched her head, gaining a deeper understanding of the train crew. Being suspected despite eagerly offering help was truly eye-opening.

How can there be such a stupid (scratch that) good organization in the world? I'm so upset.

Wait, I'm a beneficiary too, so it's fine.

The four chatted and watched the show amidst the mist. Dan Heng mobilized a wisp of energy, pointed his sword, and a water dragon more than ten meters long and as thick as a water bucket roared and rushed towards Dugu Bo.

Compared to the novelty that March 7th and Xing had for martial souls, Dan Heng didn't particularly enjoy using martial souls.

Seeing Dan Heng's youthful appearance, Dugu Bo, confident in his status, didn't even try to dodge, nor did he use any soul skills. He used his right hand to mimic the power of a snake's tail and swung it towards the dragon's head.

"boom!"

An irresistible force, like a flood, relentlessly pounded against Dugu Bo, causing his figure to tumble uncontrollably dozens of meters away while flying through the air!

Dugu Bo was shocked. How could this power be so strong?

When did such a young-looking Title Douluo appear on the mainland?

As the disgrace of the Title Douluo, Dugu Bo, the weakest of the three, stabilized himself and unleashed his Martial Soul True Body without hesitation. A green-scaled serpent king, more than thirty meters long, spewed out various poisonous mists as it charged wildly toward Dan Heng.

Dan Heng's eyes narrowed, and dragon horns sprouted from his forehead, revealing a portion of the true form of the Vidyadhara Dragon Lord.

Just as humans are human regardless of which universe they live in, dragons in other universes, though perhaps not descendants of immortals, are still recognized as dragons by the Vidya race. The dragon race has a strict hierarchy, and dragon might is extremely effective against lower-ranking dragons, such as jiaolong (a type of dragon) and snakes.

In an instant, Dugu Bo froze on the spot, losing half of his strength. His instincts, deep within his blood, frantically told him not to make a move, not to make a move!
"Crash."

With a splash, two new water dragons, no less powerful than before, reappeared on either side of Dan Heng, winding and circling around him, seemingly ready to pounce at any moment.

"Wait!" Dugu Bo canceled his Martial Soul True Form and transformed back into human form. He instantly felt much more relaxed, and the suppression he was under was reduced by at least half compared to before.

"I concede defeat. May I ask which Your Excellency is in your presence?" Dugu Bo asked in a complicated tone.

The two water dragons dispersed, and Dan Heng retracted his dragon form, saying, "Train crew guards, Dan Heng. We came to see the old gentleman with no ill intentions. It's just that we know from divination that there are a few herbs we need in the old gentleman's herb garden, and the problem you are facing is one that we can also solve."

The pioneering team's understanding of Dugu Bo was not limited to Meng Huaifeng's knowledge. They also inquired with the locals of Douluo Star. Although Dugu Bo was a bit eccentric and had a mixed personality, and his expertise in poisons was not something that would leave a good impression, he had never actually committed any heinous acts of poisoning civilians without cause.

That's why the pioneering team was willing to help Dugu Bo detoxify.

What kind of organization is the train crew? Never heard of it. But that's not important.

Unable to defeat them in a fight, and knowing that they knew his secrets, Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment before finally giving up his stubbornness and sighing, "What you say is true. I am indeed poisoned, as am I with my granddaughter. If you can cure me and my granddaughter, I would gladly give you not just a few herbs, but the entire herb garden."

"Don't be so sure of yourself. If you knew the true value of your herb garden, I wonder if you'd still be willing to give it away," Meng Huaifeng teased.

"How can a mere medicinal herb garden compare to my granddaughter's life?" Dugu Bo didn't care. If his granddaughter's life was gone, the medicinal herb garden would be meaningless no matter how valuable it was.

Dugu Bo took out a few pills and said, "These are the antidote pills I prepared. Take them and you won't have to worry about this poisonous fog. Let's go to the herb garden to talk in detail."

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

"No need," Dan Heng refused. "With the protection of the Cloud Chant Technique, the mere poisonous fog is nothing to worry about." The white fog enveloping everyone slowly moved forward, and wherever it went, the poisonous fog disappeared.

In Dugu Bo's view, this was undoubtedly a threat to him.

Dugu Bo put away the pills and led the way.

First, after crossing the outer hills, an inverted cone-shaped valley appeared before everyone. Through the thick clouds and mist, a hot spring could be seen in the center of the valley. The hot spring was not large, and there were no obstacles in the middle, but it was naturally divided into two parts, milky white and vermilion, clearly distinct and not encroaching on each other, always staying on its own side.

Where the two colors of hot springs meet, steam billows upwards, and the surrounding area is full of exotic flowers and plants, while not a single ordinary flower or plant can be seen.

"Is this the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? It truly is a wondrous sight," Meng Huaifeng exclaimed.

"Wow, how spectacular!" March 7th was overwhelmed by the sights.

"Wow, how spectacular!" Xing followed closely behind.

Before March 7th could glare at her, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, how magnificent!"

Indeed, the essence of humanity is that of a repeating machine.

March 7th finally couldn't hold back anymore, and started punching Xing's back with her little hands: "Look at you, you've corrupted Zhuqing!"
