Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Buyer, Creating the Terrifying Sumeru

"What's going on?"

Zhao Wuji was stunned. How could things have turned so bad so soon after he started speaking?

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she looked like she was about to explode. Flander, terrified, quickly kicked Zhao Wuji away and shouted, "Damn it, Old Zhao, shut up!"

"Get out of here! Go train the trainees! Stop standing around watching!"

Zhao Wuji, "..."

No, what does this have to do with me, Flander?

Although somewhat bewildered, Zhao Wuji sensed Liu Erlong's volcanic eruption beside him and immediately shrank back, quickly leaving the office and disappearing from Liu Erlong's sight.

But he didn't leave. Instead, he pricked up his ears and pressed himself against the wall, clearly wanting to know what had happened.

"Cough cough..."

At this moment, Ye Lingling collapsed to the ground, the color draining from her face instantly, turning as pale as a wall, and she gasped for breath.

"Dr. Ye, what is this?"

Seeing this, Flander quickly stepped forward and asked, afraid that Liu Erlong might inadvertently anger Ye Lingling.

"How could this happen?"

Ye Lingling remained silent.

She struggled to her feet, but as soon as she stood up, she staggered back two steps and almost fell.

Flander was so frightened that he tried to help her up, but fortunately Ye Lingling managed to stand on her own, so Flander stopped.

but.

Ye Lingling still didn't answer Flander's question. Instead, she raised her head and looked at the scales on Yu Xiaogang's arm with an almost horrified gaze, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.

now!

The gray-black scales that originally covered Yu Xiaogang's arms have begun to spread across his entire shoulder and are now slowly spreading towards his neck and chest.

Obviously!

Her healing soul skill was completely ineffective!

It even agitated those eerie gray-black scales!

"Miss Ye, how are you?"

Flander asked again.

Liu Erlong also noticed this situation and was so frightened that he rushed forward to check. However, he was also physically uncomfortable due to the nauseating smell of decay and almost vomited on the spot.

just.

Ye Lingling did not answer Zhao Wuji. She just stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, her chest heaving violently. After a moment, she slowly shook her head, her voice trembling and weak like never before, "I can't cure him."

"Feel sorry!"

Those two simple words instantly froze Liu Erlong's body completely!

next moment!

She appeared before Ye Lingling almost instantly, "No...impossible!"

In her excitement, Liu Erlong grabbed Ye Lingling's shoulders, her voice almost a roar, "Your martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia! Known as the number one healing martial soul in the world! How could you not heal her! Try again! I beg you, please try again!"

Seeing this, Flander quickly stepped forward and pulled Liu Erlong's hand away from Ye Lingling's. "Erlong, don't get agitated!"

He then looked at Ye Lingling, "Dr. Ye, why don't you... give it another try?"

"it's useless."

Ye Lingling shook her head. "Nine Heart Begonia only has one healing ability. That was my fifth soul ring just now. It has the best healing effect and is also the strongest soul skill."

"Now that we're facing a backlash, there's nothing I can do."

"Feel sorry."

This was the first time she had ever spoken so much, given her usually sparing use of words and a reserved nature.

After she finished speaking, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, took a deep look at Yu Xiaogang, whose breathing was becoming weaker and weaker on the hospital bed, and turned to walk out the door without lingering for a moment.

"Wait a minute, stop right there!"

Liu Erlong was taken aback at first, then rushed forward like a madman, "You must have a way to save Xiaogang, you must have!"

Seeing this, Flander was startled and quickly grabbed Liu Erlong's waist to stop her from intercepting Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling didn't linger at all and left quickly, thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

As the office door closed, Liu Erlong seemed to fall silent, his movements freezing instantly!

She stood frozen in place, her face even paler than Ye Lingling's had been, staring blankly at Ye Lingling's departing figure.

"Erlong, this..."

Flanders opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.

Looking for other healing-type Soul Masters?

Even the Nine-Hearted Begonia was helpless; what kind of soul skill healing could there be in this Heavenly Dou City?

Xiao Gang... he's really doomed!

With this thought in mind, Flander sighed and comforted him, "Erlong, please accept my condolences. We'll be with Xiaogang until the end..."

however.

Before he could finish speaking, he was shattered by Liu Erlong's heart-wrenching scream, "No—!"

Liu Erlong lunged at the bedside, acting like a madman, "Xiaogang! Xiaogang, wake up! You'll be alright! I won't let anything happen to you!"

Seeing this, Flander was also startled. "Erlong, calm down!"

"Now is not the time to go crazy!"

"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down?!"

Liu Erlong turned around, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a frantic voice, "Even the Nine-Heart Begonia says it's hopeless! Tell me, what can we do now?! Huh!?"

Flander was rendered speechless by her shout.

Yes, what else can we do?

Even the legendary Nine-Heart Begonia was helpless and even suffered a backlash, fleeing in a sorry state!

On this continent, who else can save Yu Xiaogang?

"Xiao Gang is only fifty years old, so young, how could he do this..."

Flanders opened his mouth, wanting to offer comfort, but couldn't utter a word.

But just then...

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji's voice rang out from outside the door, "Hey, Old Li, what's all the commotion about?"

"Get out of the way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yusong violently burst through the office door and rushed in, panting heavily.

"Old Li, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing this, Flander frowned and said in a somewhat displeased tone.

Liu Erlong is currently in a state of emotional distress, and Yu Xiaogang is practically declared dead.

In this atmosphere, Li Yusong rushed in without saying a word, looking all excited and bustling. What does that mean?

"Dean! Vice Dean!"

Li Yusong excitedly shouted, "I just went to the Botanical City to buy ingredients, and I heard that this manual seems to have a record of this grayish-black plant from Sunset Forest!"

manual?

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong turned around abruptly, "What did you say?"

Flander was also taken aback. "Old Li, really?"

"Yes, it seems they were given out for free, I took one..."

As Li Yusong spoke, he pulled a manual from his pocket. "This manual is currently being distributed free of charge. I heard that this matter is similar to the grayish-black plant that you encountered, Dean, so I bought a copy."

He then took out the exquisitely covered booklet from his pocket, only to have it snatched away by Liu Erlong. "Really? Where does it say it?"

Flanders also leaned over to take a look at the cover.

Sunset Forest Survival Handbook

Survival manual?

What the heck?

Sunset Forest?

Flander was about to say, "With Sunset Forest like that, what's the point of having a survival manual?"

Can……

The words were on the tip of his tongue when he thought of the eerie scene in Sunset Forest, and the consequences for Yu Xiaogang at this moment…

"Don't rush!"

Seeing Liu Erlong snatch the page and frantically flip through it, Li Yusong quickly grabbed it back, fiddled with it for a bit, and then handed it to Flander, saying, "Dean, take a look!"

Just as Flander was about to look up, Liu Erlong pushed him aside. Even Zhao Wuji, who had been there earlier, leaned over to look curiously.

All I could see was a line of text written on this page.

"...Don't wander around aimlessly, especially if you see those black plants in Sunset Forest. Suppress your curiosity and run in the opposite direction immediately! Don't hesitate!"

Zhao Wuji read it aloud subconsciously, scratched his head, and said, "It doesn't seem like anything special?"

"Get out of here!"

Liu Erlong had just seen this line of text when Zhao Wuji interrupted him, and he was so angry that he kicked Zhao Wuji away and snatched the manual from Li Yusong's hand.

"Hey, Erlongmei, don't be in such a hurry!"

Seeing Liu Erlong snatching again, Flander hurriedly shouted, but Liu Erlong ignored him.

She glanced at the text on that page, didn't think much of it, and instead closed the manual, looking at the bottom right corner of the back cover.

Above, a line of text was clearly written.

[Issued by: Yao Qing]

Who is Yao Qing?

Liu Erlong suddenly looked up. "This Yao Qing must know about Xiao Gang's symptoms!"

"Otherwise, it would have been impossible to write this sentence!"

Flander was about to say something, but he was also taken aback by Liu Erlong's words.

You know what!

That makes perfect sense!

You must have known that because you've seen it before!

But... who is Yao Qing?

"Yao Qing..."

Zhao Wuji, who had been kicked, clutched his waist and grimaced in pain. Although his martial soul was the Mighty Vajra Bear, don't forget that his soul power level was not as high as Liu Erlong's. This kick was solid, no wonder it hurt!

but.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji was taken aback, scratched his head, and muttered, "It seems to be... the current dean of the Botanical Academy?"

"The College of Plants?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Flander, who shrugged and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know!"

The Plant Academy was eliminated directly in the Tiandou Division, and Flander certainly couldn't remember the name of that academy.

"The Plant Academy... wasn't it one of the five elemental academies before?"

Li Yusong, however, stroked his chin and murmured, "But it seems they moved to the eastern outskirts of Sunset Forest and rebuilt a botanical city..."

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Without saying a word, Liu Erlong interrupted Li Yusong, "Let's go check out this botanical garden!"

"this……"

"Boss Fu, what are you hesitating about?"

Seeing Flander hesitate, Liu Erlong immediately roared, "Xiao Gang is in a critical situation, there's no time to lose!"

"If your hesitation allows these eerie gray-black scales to spread to Xiaogang's heart, I'll never forgive you!"

Flanders, "..."
