I collect fragments in Douluo Continent

Chapter 72: There's no hope. Just wait to die!

Sunset Forest, a hill about 500 meters high, inside a cave.

"Which faction does this kid belong to?"

Dugu Bo looked at Tang Si lying on the ground, his eyes flashing with a cold light like that of a venomous snake.

He couldn't believe that a mere child could so easily crack the venom of the Blue Phosphorus Snake.

Especially what his granddaughter said about the five poisonous creatures, Bilin.

After Dugu Bo personally experimented, although he did not develop the highly toxic medicine that his granddaughter had mentioned, the toxicity of the mixed poison was thousands of times greater than that of ordinary snake venom.

Such a brilliant idea could not have been developed without generations of research.

"The Three Upper Sects? The Two Great Empires? Or perhaps the Spirit Hall!"

Dugu Bo held Lu Feng's soul tool in his hand and examined it carefully. Looking at the angelic patterns carved on it, he seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is this kid's master Chrysanthemum Pass? Does he even have that kind of skill?"

One figure after another flashed through Dugu Bo's mind, but he eliminated them one by one.

There are a few people on the entire continent who are more skilled in using poison than him. But this is the first time Dugu Bo has ever seen a method of poison preparation that even he can't understand.

"You don't need to pretend anymore now that you're awake. Your skills are nothing to brag about in front of a Title Douluo," Dugu Bo said coldly.

Lu Feng sprang to his feet with a somersault. He didn't say anything, but just stared coldly at Dugu Bo.

He silently circulated the Mysterious Heaven Technique and found that there was no soul power restriction in his body, nor had he been given any poison.

"Mr. Dugu, what brings you here in the middle of the night?" Lu Feng said calmly.

Lu Feng silently reminded himself that he had underestimated the power of a Title Douluo.

Those who can cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo are all exceptionally talented, with character that is one in a million. For them, fame, power, family, and even their own life and death are probably already disregarded.

It's not something that can be easily solved with just one detoxification method.

Even if the person in front of him is jokingly called "the weakest Title Douluo in the Douluo Continent".

Lu Feng stared at Dugu Bo, his eyes narrowed, pondering how to break the deadlock. Dugu Bo also looked Lu Feng up and down, and for a moment, the scene fell silent.

"Not bad, you've got guts."

A glint of green light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. "I heard you diagnosed the snake venom in Yanyan's body, and even asserted that I was also poisoned?"

"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo suddenly burst into laughter. "What a joke. My poison would poison myself? I'm seventy-eight years old this year, and I've always been the one poisoning others, never the other way around."

Seeing Dugu Bo's arrogant expression with his hands behind his back, Lu Feng's lips twitched involuntarily.

Is Dugu Bo's stubbornness inherited from Dugu Yan?

"You scared me! I almost thought you were a master. Turns out you were just too proud to admit it and wanted to show off in front of a junior like me?" Lu Feng shook his head helplessly.

"Mr. Dugu, have you ever heard of the saying 'A doctor cannot heal himself'?" Lu Feng said calmly.

"Whenever it's cloudy or rainy, do you experience a tingling or itchy sensation in your ribs? And every night, do you feel a sharp, stabbing pain on the top of your head and in your heart? Mr. Dugu, am I wrong in the slightest?"

"How...how did you know?" Dugu Bo couldn't contain his surprise and blurted out instinctively.

Soon, Dugu Bo came to his senses, coughed lightly, and said, "Yanyan is really something, even telling you about my old ailments. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home."

Lu Feng looked at Dugu Bo speechlessly, suddenly feeling that the old man was a bit frivolous.

He recalled Dugu Yan's words, "Don't make a fool of yourself," and seemed to understand what they meant.

"May I examine you, sir?" Lu Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the bracelet on Dugu Bo's hand. "Senior, could you please return my soul tool to me first?"

With a flick of his right hand, Dugu Bo tossed the bracelet into Lu Feng's pocket.

"This soul tool is of good quality. Kid, could you check if any items are missing?" Dugu Bo asked casually.

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lu Feng actually take out the items one by one.

"Hey kid, you've gone too far!" Dugu Bo said, somewhat exasperated. "How could I, a titled Douluo, covet something from a brat like you?"

As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, he saw Lu Feng pull out a small medicine bottle from his soul tool.

A faint floral fragrance wafted from the bottle stopper. Dugu Bo took a sniff and immediately felt refreshed, even the pain in his ribs seemed to have eased somewhat.

"Boy, what is this?" Dugu Bo flashed over and snatched the small medicine bottle in one swift motion.

He uncorked the bottle, took a deep drag, and immediately felt a shiver run through his body.

Then came a long-lost feeling of relaxation.

In that instant, Dugu Bo even felt as if he had returned to his youth.

"It's just a little trinket. If Mr. Dugu likes it, feel free to take it," Lu Feng said with a faint smile.

The medicine in the small bottle is called "White Ghost Powder," a poison extracted from a plant called White Ghost Umbrella.

The environment in which the white cobra grows is teeming with venomous snakes, and the two have a symbiotic relationship. The white cobra grows by absorbing snake saliva, and a single flower the size of a palm takes hundreds of years to grow.

The refined "White Ghost Powder" has a strong attraction to venomous snakes. It is also a deadly temptation for Soul Masters with venomous snake martial souls.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

After deciding to cure Dugu Bo's poison, Lu Feng made thorough preparations.

The White Ghost Powder couldn't cure Dugu Bo's snake venom, but it was like Viagra—very tempting. Once he tried it, Dugu Bo would suddenly feel like he was energized again, and then he couldn't stop.

"Hmph, since you insist on giving it to me, I will reluctantly accept it."

After saying that, Dugu Bo took another deep breath and then carefully placed it into the soul tool.

"Mr. Dugu, may I examine you?" Lu Feng said calmly, taking out a small cloth bag from his soul tool.

After spending a short time together, Lu Feng felt that Dugu Bo was like a playful old man.

"Perhaps it's because of his mindset," Lu Feng thought to himself.

Dugu Bo said he is seventy-eight years old this year, but he looks like he is only in his thirties.

Lu Feng recalled Tang Hao from Holy Soul Village. With his unkempt, unshaven appearance, if he stood next to Tang San, people would probably believe he was Tang San's grandfather.

Lu Feng placed two fingers on Dugu Bo's pulse, slowly probing it with his soul power.

However, after his soul power entered Dugu Bo's body, it was like a carriage stuck in a swamp, moving very slowly. Before long, it came to a complete standstill.

The invincible [Light Attribute] seemed to have encountered its natural enemy. Upon entering Dugu Bo's body, it was immediately disintegrated by his snake venom, and was completely exhausted after only scanning one arm.

"Kid, are you sure you can handle this?" Dugu Bo asked teasingly, looking at Lu Feng, whose forehead was starting to bead with sweat.

He had been trying his best to control his soul power so as not to hinder Lu Feng's investigation.

However, the body's instinctive reaction of a Title Douluo will reject all external forces. This is precisely why poison attributes are greatly weakened in battles at the Title Douluo level.

Dugu Bo was thus jokingly referred to as the weakest Title Douluo.

At this moment, Dugu Bo chuckled, "Kid, Yan Yan praised you so highly, but it seems you're not all that great after all."

"How about this, I'll administer three different poisons to you in a bit. If you can withstand the poisons with your own concoction of antidotes, it will prove that you are qualified to give me the antidote."

"Boy, do you dare accept the challenge?" Dugu Bo said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, feeling as if a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

What's this old guy up to now?

Are you testing me?

I was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and you tied me up without saying a word to play house with me?

"Sigh~" Lu Feng sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt. "Kid, what's wrong?"

Lu Feng spread his hands, mockingly saying, "Senior Dugu, the snake venom in your body is much more severe than I imagined. There's no saving you; just wait to die!"
