Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 41: Poisonous Dragon

The Sunset Forest is a large gathering place for soul beasts within the Tiandou Empire, and the number of ten thousand year soul beasts is far less than that in the Star Dou Forest.

Xu Mingxi and Dugu Xin agreed to meet in a small town outside the Sunset Forest, but the Xingguan Sect was far away, and the three of them were still two days late despite their haste.

Dugu Xin stood at the entrance of the town and saw from a distance the three people he had met in the Star Dou Great Forest. He told Dugu Bo about the strength of the two elders.

This made Dugu Bo overjoyed. He thought that the Star Crown Sect was showing great respect by sending two Soul Douluo, but he didn't expect that they would also send out a Titled Douluo.

He forced a smile on his slightly stiff face and walked quickly forward to greet him.

Xu Mingxi also saw the old poisoner, who was one of the most important supporting characters in the original novel. He had dark green hair and beard, sunken cheeks, and emerald eyes that exuded a breathtaking edge.

Under Dugu Bo's suspicious gaze, Xu Mingxi walked past the Titled Douluo next to him, stepped forward and extended his right hand to him.

"Senior Dugu, I have long heard of your great name. I am Xu Mingxi from the Xingguan Sect, nice to meet you."

"I have admired you for a long time."

Dugu Bo looked at the two silent strong men beside him, and guessed in his heart about Xu Mingxi's status in Xingguan. Naturally, he would no longer treat him as a junior.

None of them were enthusiastic or talkative people. After chatting for a few words, Dugu Bo took out a scroll from the storage soul guide and slowly unfolded it in front of Xu Mingxi and the other two.

"It has a slender body, dark green scales, a single horn on its head, and two claws under its belly. Senior Dugu, this is a poisonous dragon, right?"

"Exactly. I have already investigated. This poisonous dragon should be around 70,000 years old."

Dugu Bo thought of the other scroll in the storage soul guide and felt a little guilty.

He had originally chosen the 60,000-year-old Poisonous Light Snake King, but he didn't expect that there would be a Titled Douluo in the lineup sent by the Star Crown Sect this time.

In that case, he changed his target to a poisonous spirit dragon that was older and had a stronger bloodline. That shouldn't be a big problem.

When he was level 80, he was able to absorb the soul ring of the 50,000-year-old Medusa. Now that he has reached level 90, he has absorbed Medusa's soul bone and suppressed the toxins in his body. There is no reason why he cannot absorb the 70,000-year-old poisonous dragon.

Xu Mingxi glanced at the Great Elder and saw him nod. He put away the scroll and agreed to hunt down the target chosen by Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo felt relieved. He led the way and introduced the details of the poisonous dragon. Then they stepped into the Sunset Forest.

"The most powerful thing about the Poisonous Spirit Dragon is its poison. The venom it spews out of its mouth can even turn a fertile forest into a deadly place. We will try our best to prevent it from releasing the poison."

Compared to detoxification, Dugu Bo is better at poisoning. Even he has to avoid the poison of the poisonous spirit dragon.

Moreover, Dugu Bo is confident that he can control the poisonous dragon. His eighth soul skill, Time Freeze, combined with his skull soul skill, Medusa's Gaze, is considered to be one of the strongest control soul skills in Douluo Continent.

"Okay, I will do my best then. Old Nine, if the Poison Spirit Dragon is not dead by then, I'll leave it to you."

When Dugu Bo faced the poisonous dragon, he could not do anything except controlling it. His poison was difficult to deal with, which was for soul masters.

If it is used against a soul beast like the Poisonous Spirit Dragon, which has an extremely strong toxic body, his poison cannot be said to be completely useless, but it can only be said to be better than nothing.

As they moved forward, they discussed countermeasures. The 70,000-year-old poisonous dragon in the Sunset Forest was almost a dominant existence, and other soul beasts were no match for it. They arrived at the territory of the poisonous dragon without any danger. Over the years, the poisonous dragon had transformed this place into a deadly place. The poisonous swamp was bubbling, and poisonous gas was rising from the broken bubbles. The air was covered with poisonous fog. Even with the soul power attached to his body, Xu Mingxi felt a slight sting.

"Everyone, this is the detoxification pill I specially prepared. Taking it can prevent the poison here from spreading in the body."

Dugu Bo took out a few brown pills from his soul guide and distributed them to everyone, two pills per person. Since he had included the Poison Spirit Dragon as one of his targets, he did not do any homework.

This elixir was carefully formulated by Dugu Bo after he collected soil and poisonous fog from the poisonous dragon's territory and conducted in-depth research. Not to mention the swamp and poisonous fog, even if one is sprayed by a poisonous dragon, one can survive for a while.

I hope I don’t have to use the second one, Dugu Bo prayed silently in his heart. He was really not sure if he could neutralize the poison of the poisonous spirit dragon.

Everyone waited outside the Poison Spirit Dragon's territory until midnight. The Great Elder, feeling the active starlight around him, gave the order to set off, and he was the first to go.

Dugu Bo followed closely behind. The moment he saw the poisonous dragon, he would burst out with all his strength to control it and buy time for the great elder.

Xu Mingxi looked up at the night sky. Today was cloudless, the moon was high, and the stars were twinkling. It was a good day for hunting souls.

Not long after they walked away, a roar resounded through the sky, trees fell down in large numbers, and a green dragon soared into the sky.

"Stop, everyone stop, the poisonous dragon seems to be fighting with something."

Everyone lowered their bodies and held their breath. Dugu Bo jumped onto the tree next to them. His eyes turned into snake pupils as he observed the poisonous dragon's every move.

I saw it soar into the sky, turn its body in the air, open its ferocious mouth, and spray fiercely downwards. The green venom seemed to still be steaming, and it turned into a water curtain that covered the entire area below.

At this time, a dark column of light shot up into the sky and broke through the venomous water curtain. Xu Mingxi only saw a black shadow flash by, and when it reappeared, it had reached the tail of the poisonous dragon.

"Ow!!!"

The soul beast that suddenly appeared bit the poisonous spirit dragon's tail directly, twisted its body, and threw it downwards.

With a loud bang, the poisonous dragon was smashed to the ground and could not move for a while.

"Eighty thousand year old shadow wolf!"

Dugu Bo has been searching for poisonous insects and poisonous insects in the Sunset Forest for many years, and he is very familiar with this place. He recognized the Shadow Wolf at a glance, which is one of the dominant soul beasts of the Sunset Forest, just like the Poison Spirit Dragon.

After the Poison Spirit Dragon was knocked to the ground, the Shadow Wolf fell on it and bit its vital point directly. The Poison Spirit Dragon was not willing to be outdone, and it swung its tail and pulled the Shadow Wolf off its body.

The two soul beasts fought back and forth and were entangled with each other. The Shadow Wolf was older and had an incredibly fast speed, while the Poison Spirit Dragon had a stronger bloodline, so its toxins and physique were exceptionally powerful.

The two faced off head-on, and Shadow Wolf was quickly defeated, transforming into a streak of black light and quickly disappearing into the woods.

Green blood oozed from the poisonous dragon's body, with some blood of the shadow wolf still remaining at its mouth. It roared towards the sky, demonstrating its victory and declaring its strength.

"Do it!"
