People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

"Haha, two little girls, no need to be so polite." Seeing Han Yue and Han Xue's respectful look, Tianhuo Zun waved his hand gently. He knew that the two girls had a close relationship with Xiao Ling, so there was a hint of kindness in his tone.

Looking at the two girls' graceful figures, Skyfire Venerable secretly admired in his heart: "Xiao Ling is quite charming. Compared with me when I traveled around the continent, he is only slightly inferior~"

After everything was ready, Xiao Ling did not waste any time. He summoned the Sky-Splitting Seat and changed it to a size large enough for several people to ride in. Then, he took Skyfire Venerable and Zi Yan with him and flew into the sky, heading towards the Poison Mist Valley.

……

The endless mountain ranges are shrouded in a mysterious dark hue, as if nature has overturned its palette here, blending deep green, dark blue and gray-black into one.

The trees on the mountains are unusually dense, their branches twisted as if telling ancient stories, and the leaves a sickly green, as if each leaf holds an unknown secret.

In this valley, the forest looks particularly gloomy. It is difficult for sunlight to penetrate the layers of tree canopy. Only sporadic light casts mottled shadows on the ground.

The forest is full of various exotic plants, some of which have colorful flowers and some of which have tempting fruits, but they all have one thing in common: they all carry deadly toxins. These poisons and poisonous weeds silently warn every creature that tries to approach.

In addition to plants, this forest is also home to many poisonous insects and wild animals. Venomous snakes slither silently in the grass, poisonous spiders weave death traps between the treetops, and those unknown wild animals in the depths of the woods observe the surroundings with vigilant eyes, ready for every upcoming fight.

In the dark sky above the mountains, a slender black figure suddenly flashed across the sky, coming from far away. It was moving very fast, like a black lightning, passing through the area.

Although the vision was blurry and the specific appearance of the figure could not be seen clearly, the powerful aura it exuded was clearly felt.

This breath spread out like a wave, penetrating the forest and shaking the souls of every creature. The low-level monsters felt this frightening breath, and they instinctively chose to hide, disappearing into the depths of caves or dense forests, not daring to make any sound.

Even those ferocious predators in normal days became extremely cautious at this moment. They put away their usual arrogance and carefully concealed their whereabouts, for fear of attracting the attention of the mysterious black shadow.

On the back of the Split Sky Seat stood three figures. They were Xiao Ling, Skyfire Reverend and Zi Yan who had rushed all the way from Tianbei City.

"The environment in the Netherworld Mountains is really terrible," Xiao Ling looked around and couldn't help muttering, "There's such a heavy poison gas just outside, it must be worse inside. As for the Poison Mist Valley at the core, the situation there is probably even worse."

"I've been to places like this many times when I was in the Douqi Continent, but places like this are rare." Venerable Skyfire stood aside, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"Haha, indeed." Yao Chen also revealed his soul body, with a hint of expectation in his voice, "Only such a unique place can give birth to those strange and bizarre heavenly and earthly wonders and strange fires."

For an alchemist like Yao Chen, it is difficult to conceal his anticipation for the strange fire.

As the Rayquaza continued to climb deeper into the Nether Mountains, the concentration of poisonous gas around it became increasingly dense.

Although these poisonous gases are not enough to pose a threat to masters like Xiao Ling, inhaling them for a long time will always be harmful.

To be on the safe side, Xiao Ling took out four carefully prepared detoxification pills from his storage ring and handed them to Zi Yan and Tianhuo Zun.

"This is what Xian'er left for me," Xiao Ling said easily, "After taking these detoxification pills, the toxins won't be able to cause trouble in our bodies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ling put the pill into his mouth.

The pill melted upon contact, turning into a cool warm current that quickly spread throughout the body, bringing a sense of comfort to the whole body.

Then he threw another one to Rayquaza, who swallowed it in one gulp.

Zi Yan and Tianhuo Zunzun also took the pills one after another. Although there was no significant reaction, they no longer needed to release their fighting spirit to offset the toxins.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment became more and more desolate. All they could see was endless dark swamps and intricate valleys.

"According to the markings on the map, the Poison Mist Valley is incredibly large," Xiao Ling said as he checked the map. "Its area is not inferior to that of the Gama Empire. Because of the harsh environment, there are many powerful monsters hidden here, including the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion, which is at least level seven. In addition to it, there are many powerful guys, and even a mysterious race. To be able to survive in such a place, their strength must not be underestimated."

"Compared to these guys, this harsh environment doesn't seem so terrible."

Hearing Xiao Ling's words, Zi Yan waved her pink little fist and said confidently: "If those guys dare to cause trouble, I will beat them up one by one."

Xiao Ling gently scratched Zi Yan's nose and teased, "Ordinary monsters will definitely not dare to provoke us, but if you really run into a tough one, don't cry and ask me for help." He smiled and continued, "Don't forget, our current strength is not to be underestimated."

He pointed at the Splinter Cell under his feet and reminded him, "Besides other things, the Splinter Cell is now a genuine seventh-level magical beast. With it here, those magical beasts that have not reached the seventh level dare not come and die."

"Hmph, even if I can't beat him, I still have you and Old Man Huo, plus that golden puppet. How could I possibly be in danger in a place like this?" Zi Yan curled her lips, looking fearless.

"Haha, girl Zi Yan is right. Don't worry, I'm here and I will definitely not let you get into danger." Venerable Skyfire was also standing by, with a kind smile in his tone.

Before, he had always existed in the form of a soul body and needed Xiao Ling's help most of the time. Now, not only has he recovered his physical body, but his strength has also reached the peak level of Three Stars of the Dou Zun. Naturally, he wants to show it off well.

Looking at Zi Yan's nonchalant look, Xiao Ling could only smile helplessly and didn't say much.

After all, the reason why they brought Zi Yan out this time was to let her relax. With their current team strength, there was really no need for Zi Yan to take action.

With the combat power of Yao Tianhuo and Tian Yaokui, two Dou Zun-level people, most situations can be solved, and those that cannot be solved are not something that Zi Yan can solve either.

"Raichongzuo, let's speed up and move deeper." Xiao Ling conveyed the message to Raichongzuo in his heart.

"Got it, boss." Rayquaza replied in his heart, then twisted his body and suddenly increased his speed.

……

In the following journey, Xiao Ling and his team continued to move towards the depths of the Poison Fog Valley.

Just as Xiao Ling said, there are indeed many powerful magical beasts hidden in the depths of the Poison Mist Valley, and sixth-level magical beasts can be seen everywhere.

For Xiao Ling and his friends, these monsters posed no threat at all, and Xiao Ling was too lazy to provoke them.

But don't forget, there is a restless Zi Yan in their team.

Zi Yan has a natural sensitivity to those natural treasures with rich energies, and those magical beasts are more or less guarding some treasures.

After all, this place has a harsh environment and is full of dangers. No one has paid attention to it for many years, so naturally it has produced many rare medicinal herbs and poisons.

The special environment here makes these medicinal herbs and poisons extremely rare in the outside world, and Xiao Ling also discovered many treasures that he did not have.

Faced with so many rare medicinal herbs, how could Zi Yan let them go easily?

Therefore, the monsters they encountered were in bad luck. Some monsters sensed the terrifying aura of the Splinter Cell and fled directly, obediently giving up the treasures they had guarded for many years. As for those who didn't know what to do, they were easily dealt with by Zi Yan.

Chapter 313: Fighting the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion

Along the way, Zi Yan was like a treasure-hunting elf. Whenever she found a treasure, her eyes would sparkle and she would take action without hesitation. And those monsters, whether they fled or fought, could only watch their treasures being taken away.

Xiao Ling looked at Zi Yan's excitement and couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, thinking: "This girl is really a natural treasure hunter."

And with the efforts of Xiao Ling and his friends, the originally quiet Poison Fog Valley seemed to become lively.

As time passed, although they had not found any trace of the Netherworld Poison Fire, Zi Yan had already collected a lot of precious treasures.

Most of them are related to poison properties, but there are also some rare treasures that can be used to refine pills.

"It seems that this time we will not only be able to find the Netherworld Poison Fire, but also return with a full load." Xiao Ling said jokingly as he looked at the increasing number of treasures in Zi Yan's hands.

Zi Yan proudly raised the herbs in her hand and said with a smile: "Of course, with me here, there is no way these treasures can escape from my palm."

For Xiao Ling and his friends, the matter of "snatching medicinal materials" was just a small episode of stealing, so it didn't waste their time much.

After two days of trekking, Xiao Ling and his companions finally arrived at the location of the Netherworld Poison Fire marked on the map.

In front of him was a dark canyon with jagged rocks, as if it was a work of nature. The poisonous fog here was so thick that it could not be dispelled, and even the vision was affected. Although the creatures in the Nether Poison Swamp had strong resistance to poison, this canyon was unusually silent, with no signs of life.

At this moment, Xiao Ling and his group were standing outside the canyon.

Xiao Ling stood at the front of the team with his eyes closed and brows slightly furrowed. A green flame slowly rose in his hand, like a lotus blooming in the night.

Time passed minute by minute, and under the expectant gaze of Venerable Skyfire and Zi Yan, Xiao Ling finally opened his eyes.

Zi Yan couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, did you find anything?"

Xiao Ling shrugged, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Not good, I have explored with the strange fire and soul power, and I can't find even the shadow of the netherworld poisonous fire in this canyon."

He paused, then added, "Even the seventh-level netherworld poisonous dragon scorpion that the senior mentioned did not leave any trace."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zi Yan's face. She murmured softly, "Could it be that the legendary Netherworld Poison Fire has already been taken by someone else? Wouldn't this trip be in vain?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ling was a little hesitant, but then he thought, in the original book, no one had ever used the Netherworld Poison Fire, so it was estimated that no one could control this thing.

He turned to look at Yao Chen and said half-jokingly, "Old Yao, why don't you give it a try? Maybe your Bone Spirit Cold Fire can sense something."

Due to the mutual attraction between the different fires, Yao Chen did not release his Bone Spirit Cold Fire when Xiao Ling investigated before. Perhaps he could discover something now.

"Okay, let me try." Yao Chen nodded, with a hint of amusement in his tone. As his voice fell, a ball of white flame emerged from his soul body's condensed hand.

The flame was both extremely cold and extremely hot. The two completely opposite auras intertwined in the flame, yet maintained a delicate balance, which looked quite magical.

Then, Yao Chen released his huge soul power, which spread out in all directions like an invisible net. All the surrounding scenes, whether far or near, were clearly reflected in his mind through his soul perception.

Not long after, Yao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his expression changed from concentration to relaxation, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Seeing Yao Chen's appearance, Xiao Ling couldn't help but ask curiously: "Old Yao, how is it, any new discoveries?"

"I did find something," Yao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his tone serious, "The Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion used the Netherworld power in its body to create a breath barrier. You didn't feel that special breath before, so you didn't find it. I know something about that power, so I recognized it."

He continued, "However, from my observation, that Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion should have reached the eighth level of cultivation, comparable to a human five-star Dou Zun."

Hearing this, Xiao Ling was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Eighth-level magic beast, is this true? Even if there is enough poison gas here, the resources are not particularly abundant. It should not be able to support the cultivation of an eighth-level magic beast."

Yao Chen nodded and explained, "My perception is correct. As for why it was able to break through to the eighth level, it should be because it used the Netherworld Poison Fire's ability to absorb poisonous energy. It absorbed the toxins in it to cultivate, so it can have such strength."

"With such strength, do you really intend to deal with it?" Yao Chen reminded, "The bloodline of this Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion is also extraordinary, so it should be difficult to deal with it."

"If you are unsure, we can retreat temporarily and look for an opportunity later. Once you have gathered enough experts, we can deal with this Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion. Even if you don't plan to use my connections, as an eighth-grade alchemist, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find a few Dou Zun-level helpers."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling did not rush to answer, but fell into deep thought.

The people around him were tactful and did not disturb him. They just waited quietly for Xiao Ling to make a decision.

In fact, Xiao Ling really wanted to compete with that Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion. After all, it was a five-star Dou Zun level existence. If he could get its magic core and condense a poison pill for Xiao Yixian, the effect would definitely be great. Moreover, that Netherworld Poison Fire was also a great tonic for Xiao Yixian.

He weighed his own strength and felt that he had a chance of winning. The fighting power of the two Dou Zun three-stars, Skyfire Venerable and Sky Demon Puppet, was not to be trifled with.

"What do you think, Xiao Ling?" Yao Chen broke the silence and asked in a relaxed tone.

Xiao Ling came back to his senses, and a confident smile appeared on his lips: "Since I'm here, I have to give it a try. I don't want to run back and forth again."

Skyfire Venerable smiled easily, with a hint of confidence in his tone: "Haha, don't worry, although I am only a three-star peak Dou Zun now, don't forget that I was a five-star Dou Zun in my lifetime. With your Sky Demon Puppet that can fight against a three-star Dou Zun to help us, we can join forces and fight that eighth-level monster to a draw."

Zi Yan was not to be outdone. She patted her chest and said confidently, "Xiao Ling, didn't you say before that I could mobilize the power of my blood to suppress the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion? Don't worry, I can definitely help you cure it."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling felt more confident. He smiled and said, "Since everyone is so confident, let's not waste time here. Yao Lao, lead the way. Let's go meet the Netherworld Poison Dragon Scorpion."

"Haha, since you have made up your mind, then follow me." Yao Chen smiled, and as soon as he finished speaking, he floated lightly towards the depths of the canyon.

Upon seeing this, Venerable Skyfire and Xiao Ling also took off into the air and followed Yao Chen's footsteps.

"Let's go!" Zi Yan waved her hand excitedly and followed the team. They embarked on a journey to find the Netherworld Poisonous Dragon Scorpion.

……

At the bottom of the deep canyon, there was a dense poisonous fog all around, and everything in sight was gloomy. And in this darkness, there was a huge cave hidden, which was huge in scale, a hundred feet wide, like a small underground palace.

The inside of the cave was filled with poisonous gas, and ordinary Dou Wang would feel weak even if they just took a breath. The poisonous gas seemed to have life, and it gathered in the center of the cave, where there was a strange green flame.

The flame danced and emitted a faint green light. The surrounding poisonous energy was attracted by it and gathered together like a whirlpool, forming an energy vortex visible to the naked eye.

Next to this green flame, a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a sinister face was sitting cross-legged, his body emitting a strong aura.
