Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 96: Thighs Continue to Thicken (Fourth Update)
"Grandpa, I dug this out from the corpse of a 20,000-year-old Jade Dragon. Please absorb it quickly."

Since the spiritual eye can see the flow and gathering of soul power, after finding the head soul bone of the human-faced demon spider, Chen Ming already had the idea of using the spiritual eye to scan the soul beast's corpse to find the soul bone.

Perhaps because the Nine Clans were hunted down by the Pluto Scorpion, which was less than ten thousand years old, the dead Emerald Sky Dragons were extremely resentful. Chen Ming searched around and actually saw the fluctuation of the soul bone in the body of an Emerald Sky Dragon.

"How can I absorb it? You should absorb it quickly! This is a 20,000-year-old left leg bone from a sub-dragon soul beast. It must be able to provide a..."

The more Dugu Bo spoke, the more he felt something was wrong. It seemed like he had said the same thing to Chen Ming last time.

Looking at Chen Ming's determined eyes, Dugu Bo sighed and wanted to push the soul bone out of Chen Ming's hand, but Chen Ming found an opportunity to stuff the soul bone into his hand.

"I still have a long way to go. The strongest people on the continent in the future will definitely not be short of soul bones."

Chen Ming smiled at him, and without waiting for Dugu Bo to speak, he forcefully pushed Dugu Bo's hand into his arms.

"Grandpa, absorb it quickly. We, the younger generation, all rely on your reputation for protection. Whether we can hold our heads high when we walk on the continent in the future depends entirely on your strength."

Chen Ming would never absorb a 20,000-year-old left leg soul bone, even if it was of good quality. Because if he wanted to absorb a left leg bone, he would of course choose the real good thing.

Even if Dugu Bo was not there, Chen Ming would give the soul bones to other people of his own to absorb.

What's more, he and Dugu Bo are now family members. If Dugu Bo becomes stronger, it is equivalent to his own strength. The improvement of Dugu Bo's strength is much more important than a useless soul bone.

Dugu Bo sighed, his eyes sparkling. He couldn't help but once again feel grateful for Chen Ming's filial piety.

"In the future, I will definitely get you the best soul bones! Even if it is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I will definitely hunt it for you!"

After making the promise, Dugu Bo closed his eyes, sat down where Chen Ming had just crossed his legs to absorb the soul ring, and absorbed the still fresh left leg soul bone.

Half an hour later, Dugu Bo woke up from meditation, with a bright light in his eyes.

The wrinkles on his forehead, which had already decreased a lot in the past few months, completely disappeared, and his hair, which had mostly turned from green to white, moved further towards pure white.

After absorbing the soul bone, the vitality of the whole person is greatly improved.

Although his aura was still at level 93, it seemed to have faintly begun to touch the threshold of level 94. He was no longer far away from the real level 94.

After Dugu Bo absorbed the soul bone, there was some surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that he had obtained a soul skill that was quite good even for a Titled Douluo.

Looking at Chen Ming who was protecting him beside him, Dugu Bo did not hide anything and explained to Chen Ming the soul skills he had acquired.

"The soul skill of this left leg bone is the Jade Phosphorus Skylight Shield. After it is cast, it can form a barrier with excellent defensive power. The strength should not be weaker than the eighth soul skill of the general soul fighter."

Dugu Bo himself has excellent control ability, but his attack methods are relatively scarce. In terms of defense, he is simply a blank slate, with no defensive soul skills worth mentioning.

Some Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo seized on this point and immediately gathered their soul power to resist the poison at the beginning of the battle, then rushed towards Dugu Bo himself, choosing to kill Dugu Bo before the poison killed them.

Because he didn't have a very good attacking ability and had no defensive ability at all, Dugu Bo had no good way to deal with these guys who were too aggressive at the beginning and even prepared to trade one-on-one with him.

This is also why some high-level Soul Douluo on the mainland have the title of "Rival Title Douluo". Because this title that can be rivaled by high-level Soul Douluo actually refers to the previous Dugu Bo.

The emergence of this left leg bone soul skill undoubtedly further made up for Dugu Bo's own shortcomings and was of great help to Dugu Bo's strength.

At least now, Dugu Bo will never be killed instantly by a sudden attack just because he is too fragile.

After absorbing the spirit rings and spirit bones, the two packed up their things and returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The journey was smooth and they did not encounter any spirit beasts that blocked the way.

As soon as they crossed the poison array, Dugu Bo and Chen Ming saw Dugu Yan waiting not far away.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Dugu Yan, who was almost going crazy with idleness, immediately rushed over with open arms.

Seeing his granddaughter's friendly behavior, Dugu Bo put on a smile and opened his arms, ready to let his granddaughter jump into his arms.

However, this time, Dugu Yan did not fly into Dugu Bo's arms like she did when she was a child, but instead rushed towards Chen Ming and hugged Chen Ming tightly in her arms.

"You guys have been gone for more than ten days! I'm almost going crazy waiting here alone! You must take me with you next time you go out! I don't want to stay here alone any longer!"

There was a hint of crying and a bit of complaint in Dugu Yan's voice.

In order to detoxify, Dugu Yan's soul power was still controlled at level 30. Even though she could have absorbed the third soul ring long ago, she still did not absorb it.

Although Dugu Yan's physical strength had improved a lot during the past few months living outside the Yin-Yang Eyes, and he had adapted to the aura emitted by the Eyes to some extent, he still could not enter the Eyes by himself.

During the ten days when the two of them went out to hunt souls, Dugu Yan could only stay here alone. He could neither cross the poison array nor enter the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. The only place he could move around was the area that Dugu Bo had specially expanded.

There was no shortage of water and food here, and daily necessities were also readily available. Before leaving, the two of them also prepared medicine to ensure that Duguyan's condition would not have any problems during this period.

But humans are social animals after all...

During these ten days, Dugu Yan couldn't find anyone to talk to, and she couldn't even see a moving creature. It was a torture for her to stay alone facing the unchanging scenery.

Hearing Dugu Yan's complaining voice, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to pat his granddaughter on the head as a comfort, but seeing his granddaughter clinging to Chen Ming, Dugu Bo didn't know where to start.

In the end, it was Chen Ming who patted Dugu Yan's head and comforted Dugu Yan who was hanging on him.

"It's all our fault for not bringing you with us, leaving you to suffer here alone."

"After I've cured you of the poison and absorbed your third spirit ring, how about letting Grandpa take you to Tiandou City for a while?"

"You have to go too." Dugu Yan stared into Chen Ming's eyes and said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'll go too." Chen Ming chose to accept Dugu Yan's request.

Although he has become accustomed to the days of hard training, he doesn't mind at all if he can interact with the outside world to change his mood.
