Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 42 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Ten minutes ago, when the Poisonous Spirit Dragon and the Shadow Wolf were fighting, the poisonous mist they spewed out had already filled the forest. Everyone took their second specially made antidote pill and hid in the trees waiting for their chance.

Finally, just as the Poisonous Spirit Dragon defeated the Shadow Wolf and roared triumphantly to the sky, the Grand Elder gave an order, and everyone moved in unison.

Dugu Bo leaped up, his martial spirit activating, and a giant green snake phantom appeared on his body. His pitch-black eighth spirit ring lit up, and his snake eyes emitted a chilling green light.

Time stands still as Medusa gazes.

Xu Mingxi quietly released her first soul skill, and starlight fell from the sky, illuminating the night and making the soul skills released by the First Elder and the Ninth Elder faster and stronger.

The Poisonous Spirit Dragon looked at the approaching Grand Elder in terror, feeling the pressure unique to a Title Douluo, and tried to dodge but was unable to move for a moment.

They could only watch helplessly as the Grand Elder approached, his ninth soul ring lit up, and a massive star condensed in the air.

The Great Wilderness Star Falls.

The Grand Elder had exerted almost all his strength and was slightly out of breath in the air due to the excessive exertion. The others wouldn't just stand by and watch.

Dugu Xin's poisonous mist enveloped the surroundings to prevent other soul beasts from suddenly appearing. Ninth Elder Xing Suo reappeared and directly plunged into the smoke he stirred up.

In the area where the Poisonous Spirit Dragon resided, starlight rose from below, and wisps of moonlight drifted and swept across, while boundless killing intent permeated the air.

A painful roar echoed through the sky. Dugu Bo, who was on the tree, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The Poisonous Spirit Dragon suddenly burst out of the smoke, its eyes stained red with blood.

But what awaited it was the Ninth Elder's Starry Bewitching Soul and Star Chains, and the moonlight slid across its wounds, splashing out strands of green blood.

The Grand Elder's attack was not without effect; the Poison Spirit Dragon's single horn broke off, it kept spitting out blood, and its body was covered in wounds.

It had just survived a battle with the Shadow Wolves, and now it was struck by a sudden calamity. Right now, it was just clinging to life, trying to take away the humans who had hurt it.

One ninth soul skill wouldn't be enough to drain a level 92 Title Douluo dry, but the Grand Elder's rejoining became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Its eyes widened, and its massive body collapsed weakly to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Dugu Bo took a moment to catch his breath, then excitedly rushed forward, fearing that the Poison Spirit Dragon might die.

The venom belonging to the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King spread across the Poisonous Spirit Dragon in the forest, quickly enveloping its entire body and continuously seeping into its flesh. This overlord of poison-attribute soul beasts ultimately died from the very poison it was most adept at.

Xu Mingxi was not surprised by the result at all. With a Title Douluo leading the team, plus two Soul Douluos, how could anything go wrong when hunting a 70,000-year-old Soul Beast?

The name "Poisonous Spirit Flood Dragon" sounds impressive, but it only contains a trace of dragon blood. Its bloodline is similar to that of the Golden Tooth Tiger, and it is far inferior to formidable creatures like the Azure Bull Python or the Titan Giant Ape, which could rival hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts even in their ten-thousand-year-old stage.

As a black soul ring slowly appeared above the Poisonous Spirit Dragon, everyone knew that the soul-hunting operation had come to a successful conclusion, and they all gathered around the Poisonous Spirit Dragon's corpse to protect Dugu Bo.

After an unknown amount of time, Dugu Bo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his closed eyes, and a huge, emerald green snake phantom appeared on his body.

No, it can't be called a snake anymore. Xu Mingxi noticed that a pair of claws had actually grown from the bottom of Dugu Bo's martial spirit.

Hahaha, hahaha.

Dugu Bo stood up, feeling the energy surging within his body. He could easily take on five or six of his former self now. The changes to his martial soul after absorbing the Poisonous Spirit Flood Dragon's soul ring were minor; the most significant change was the drastic alteration of his poison, making it even more ferocious and intractable.

"Porcupinefish, I wonder if you can still withstand my current venom."

Recalling someone he had encountered on the mainland who had defeated him due to a martial soul counter, Dugu Bozhi was filled with smugness. He refused to believe that his poison would be ineffective against the pufferfish again.

Dugu Bo was overjoyed and suddenly realized that there were people watching. He quickly composed himself, reverting to his cold and stiff demeanor, and bowed deeply to Xu Mingxi and the others.

"I am very grateful for your help this time. I, Dugu Bo, will never forget your kindness."

"Senior Dugu, you're too kind. We're all quite exhausted right now. How about we rest for a day in this Sunset Forest before continuing our journey?"

Xu Mingxi's true intentions were revealed. Was his purpose in coming here simply to help Dugu Bo obtain a soul ring? No, it was all for the legendary Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

As expected, the unsuspecting Dugu Bo took the bait. Or rather, now that he had found a way to slow down the poisoning, taking Xu Mingxi and her friends to a medicinal herb garden was not a big problem for him.

"It's time to rest for a day. Xin'er and I recently discovered a treasure trove in this Sunset Forest. How about we go there?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Dugu."

"No trouble at all, please follow me."

Dugu Bo jumped onto the tallest tree next to him, looked around, seemed to have determined the direction, and called for everyone to follow him.

Xu Mingxi followed behind Dugu Bo, her eyes filled with deep anticipation. Was she finally about to see the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, one of the greatest opportunities on the Douluo Continent?

Before long, a thin layer of poisonous miasma appeared in front of Xu Mingxi's eyes. Dugu Bo took out the antidote and gave it to everyone, then led them inside.

"This is a treasure trove I discovered, and I'm now using it as a medicinal herb garden. I was able to develop a pill to inhibit the poison of the Poison Spirit Dragon thanks to the herbs here."

The poisonous miasma surrounding the area was also set up by me. The pills you just took are enough to keep you here for eight to ten days.

As Dugu Bo led the way and explained things to everyone, Xu Mingxi paid no attention, as he was completely captivated by the scene before him.

He followed Dugu Bo up the hill, where a mountain hollow with rising steam appeared before him. Looking down, he saw an oval pool of water with two distinct colors: milky white and vermilion.

Two different colored springs coexist in the pool, yet they do not encroach on each other, each staying on its own side, with only the point where they meet constantly emitting steam.

This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? The description in the book doesn't show the true appearance at all. Although Xu Mingxi was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the strange scene in front of her.

"How's it going, kid? Not bad here, right? The medicinal herbs grown here grow much faster than anywhere else."

Xu Mingxi looked at the herbs beside the pool, most of which she didn't recognize, and unconsciously swallowed.

"Senior Dugu, this place of yours is quite extraordinary."
