Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 378 Dark under the lamp

a long distance away.

Tang San, who left Tiandou City at noon yesterday and headed south, stopped where he was.

The emergence of two great gods, one in the Star Luo Empire and the other in the Heaven Dou Empire, put Tang San in a dilemma.

Humans are inherently ambitious and driven by desires.

When a god is born, how could he allow other divine successors to grow up peacefully and then threaten his position in the future?

Fortunately, two gods were born at the same time, not just one.

The clash between the two great gods at least gives them, the inheritors of these divine powers, a chance to catch their breath.

However, with gods now in the Star Luo Empire, Tang San's arrival would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, facing either submission or death.

The Tang Clan will not be anyone's vassal.

Since we can't go to the three great empires or the Spirit Hall, then...

"It's the darkest place under the lamp; let's go to the Kingdom of Barak instead."

Although Spirit City is located on the border of the Barak Kingdom, who would have guessed that Tang San was living in seclusion in a kingdom so close to Spirit City?

Seeing Tang San standing still, Tai Long seized the opportunity to suggest:
"Young Master, we've been traveling all day, why don't we rest here for a while?"

He kept chanting in his mind, urging Tang San to agree quickly so that he could add the last ingredient of the Seven-Colored Medicinal Herb to his food.

"Alright, let's rest for a while before continuing our journey."

Tang San nodded indifferently.

When people who have traveled a long distance rest, they may not eat food, but they will definitely drink water.

Taking this into consideration, Tyrone had already mixed the last of the seven-colored medicinal ingredients into all the water bags for the trip.

The seven ingredients are colorful and each one is non-toxic when taken alone. When taken together, as long as not all seven are present, there will be no problems and the effects will be similar to those of a tonic.

That's why Tailong added the last ingredient that Tang San was missing to all the water bags without any guilt.

He and his carefully selected clansmen had never taken any of the seven colorful medicinal ingredients before, so the water in the water bag mixed with the medicinal ingredients was just ordinary water to them.

"Young Master, have some water."

Tailong casually took out a water bag and handed it to Tang San.

Tang San, without suspecting anything, habitually took the water bag, unscrewed the cork, and drank it in large gulps.

Glug~ Glug~
The bulging water pouch quickly deflated, and Tang San drank the entire pouch of water in one gulp.

The seven colorful medicinal ingredients were thus gathered in Tang San's body.

It takes a certain amount of time for the seven ingredients to mix and for the poison to take effect. Moreover, the seven-colored poison erodes vitality rather than being a deadly poison that kills instantly.

Even if he were poisoned by the Seven-Colored Poison, Tang San would not lose his fighting ability for a while.

In order to save his own life and that of his people, Tyrone recited the prepared statement he had prepared beforehand:

"Young Master, I'm taking them to hunt some game. Please rest here for a while, we'll be back soon."

Tyrone was very confident about this. He not only added colorful medicinal ingredients to the water in the water bag, but also some other things, such as appetite stimulants and digestive aids.

Gollum~
Tang San's stomach rumbled at this inopportune moment.

From the moment he arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace to his escape from Heaven Dou City until now, Tang San has not eaten a single meal.

Touching his empty stomach, Tang San responded with feigned composure:

“Alright, I am indeed a bit hungry.” Tyrone turned around, slowly raised his deeply bowed head, winked at the few tribesmen he had chosen, and then led the way into the forest.

Time passes slowly.

Soon, a quarter of an hour had passed.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Under the big tree, Tang San leaned against the trunk. Seeing that Tai Long and his group had not yet appeared, he was about to go find them himself when the seven-colored radiance that had been brewing within him for a quarter of an hour finally began to exert its power.

Ooh~
Tang San was halfway to his feet when he suddenly collapsed against a tree trunk, clutching his stomach and trembling in pain.
"What the hell is devouring my life force?"

"No, it's not some kind of ghost, it's poison! Someone poisoned me, Tyrone!"

An enraged roar echoed through the mountains and fields. Tang San's eyes widened in excruciating pain, turning bloodshot.

This emotion contains both the anger of Tyrone for his betrayal and the overwhelming sense of injustice that he, a renowned expert in poisons, had been poisoned by a mere servant.

"Antidote! Antidote!"

Tang San frantically searched for a universal antidote in his soul tool, and once he found one, he immediately poured it into his mouth.

As a poison expert, Tang San was very confident in the universal antidote he had developed. How sophisticated could the poison made by a servant be?

However, reality slapped Tang San hard in the face.

"No, it didn't work?"

"This is... a mixed drug!"

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, it's still a mixture of seven poisons!"

Tang San sensed the ever-changing, multicolored poison within his body and clenched his teeth in anger, almost crushing his gums.

"Tang San, don't panic; Tang San, stay calm; you can do it! You can do it!"

After some self-consolation, he suddenly thought of something, as if he had found a savior.

"Oh right, Devour, I also have the Devour of the Dark Blue Silver Emperor!"

Tang San immediately mobilized the power of the Dark Blue Silver Emperor to devour the poison within his body that was constantly eroding his life force.

It can devour poison with its devouring power. If it were any other kind of poison, it might actually be cured by this, but this one is seven-colored.

Once infected with this poison, the body's vitality will be constantly eroded until the last bit of vitality is exhausted.

While the Dark Blue Silver Emperor's devouring power can indeed absorb the Seven-Colored Poison, as long as Tang San's life force remains, the Seven-Colored Poison will regenerate endlessly.

There is no other way to completely eradicate the seven colors using ordinary means except for the unique antidote of the Broken Clan.

Of course, nothing is absolute. It is not impossible for Tang San to eradicate the seven-colored rainbow by using the power of devouring, but this would require the Dark Blue Silver Emperor to devour the seven-colored rainbow completely in an instant, leaving no trace.

Because if even the slightest trace remains, the multicolored poison will reignite.

Within a few minutes, Tang San used the Dark Blue Silver Emperor to devour the poison in his body no less than seven or eight times, but each time he was unable to completely devour the poison, allowing the Seven-Colored Splendor to grow stronger again by eroding his life force.

This situation forced Tang San to make an unavoidable choice.

He took out a lead box from his soul tool, opened the lid, and inside was a right arm bone that was about seven thousand years old.

This soul bone and his fifth soul ring originated from the same soul beast.

Although Tang San was able to absorb the life force of plants to extend the lifespan of his spirit rings and spirit bones, he did not immediately absorb the spirit bone.
