Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Chapter 40: The Great Insult Dugu Bo: Peanuts for me, Peanuts for me!

"This title was actually given to me by an old poison master. He's from Tiandou City, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo. Every year I go to the Tiandou Imperial Family to carry out this mission, and over time we've gotten to know each other."

"However, I belong to the Spirit Hall, and he serves Prince Xuexing because he has done him a favor. To outsiders, he supports the Tiandou Imperial Family. Our two camps are not on the same side, so we occasionally clash. The last time we fought... well... it was probably a few months ago."

Hu Bai was a little puzzled: "Uncle Yue, you should be stronger than Poison Douluo, right? Then why do you keep fighting like this?"

Yue Guan laughed heartily, "Yes, I am stronger than him, and we often fight. I saw that he was at least a Titled Douluo, so from the beginning I was trying to poach members of the Tiandou royal family, hoping to find a way to bring Dugu Bo to our Spirit Hall."

"So even though I could beat him, I never tried to kill him. I guess it was just a friendly exchange."

Yue Guan said, seeing Hu Bai listening so attentively, he couldn't help but be curious: "Why? Are you interested in this Dugu Bo?"

Hu Bai nodded and said deliberately, "Uncle Yue, since this Poison Douluo Senior likes to develop poisons, he should also be very knowledgeable about herbs like me. And since he likes to tinker with these things, he can't always go to the store outside to buy them, right?
Does he have a kind of herb garden where he can grow his own flowers and plants?"

Yue Guan was slightly stunned, then smiled: "Little guy, you are not thinking that Dugu Bo might have the herbs we are looking for, right? How is that possible? If he really had them, he would have eaten them himself long ago, and would not be waiting for us to find them? Although Dugu Bo's strength is weak, his understanding of herbs is among the best on the continent."

Dugu Bo:
Hu Bai laughed secretly in his heart, you really got it right, Dugu Bo had the treasure land but didn't know it, he knew nothing about those magical herbs, and later they directly benefited Tang San.

Originally, Dugu Bo and Tang San had a transactional relationship. If Tang San could cure him and Dugu Yan's poison, he would let Tang San go and not take Tang San's external soul bone.

After Tang San cured Dugu Bo, Dugu Bo not only kept his promise, but also allowed Tang San to propose three conditions to him as a reward, as long as they did not violate the principles in his heart.

Tang San's first condition was to clean out all the magical grass from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Even if the roots were left, it would take at least thousands of years for them to grow again.

The second one was to ask Dugu Bo to be a guest official at Shrek Academy, saying that it would not restrict his freedom.

Later, with the establishment of the Tang Sect, Dugu Bo also joined Tang San. Tang San promised to provide Dugu Bo with retirement care, but we don’t know whether he did so in the end.

After watching this, Hu Bai actually felt sorry for Dugu Bo. He only saw Dugu Bo giving his all but gaining nothing from Tang San.

Putting aside other things, shouldn't Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan each get one of the magical herbs? It originally belonged to Dugu Bo.

If Tang San stole it, then forget it. After all, treasures belong to those who are capable. Dugu Bo originally wanted Tang San’s external soul bone.

But Tang San was asking for it openly, using the so-called favor, and Dugu Bo couldn't say anything.

Isn't this a complete injustice?!

Hu Bai, who is familiar with the plot, really intends to recruit Dugu Bo if it does not violate the interests of the Spirit Hall. No matter from which perspective, subduing Dugu Bo will bring more benefits than disadvantages to the Spirit Hall!

Dugu Bo: Peanuts for me, peanuts for me!
Hu Bai revealed a hint of innocence. "That's not necessarily true, Uncle Yue, think about it. Every profession has its own specialties. You've been able to gather so much knowledge about immortal herbs, most of which comes from the ancient books collected by the Spirit Hall. And what about Senior Dugu Bo? The only place he could find information was the Tiandou Imperial Family, but how can the Tiandou Imperial Family's collection compare to our Spirit Hall's? You've known him for so long, and you haven't tried to ask him?"

Moon Gate:.
He now felt as if he had been enlightened. Yes, what if that old poisonous guy really didn't know the so-called magic grass!
Ask, you must ask!
But given their relationship, even if he asked, the old poisonous guy probably wouldn't tell anyone, right?
Time flies, and Hu Bai and his group's carriage also passed through the Sunset Forest.

"Stop!" Hu Bai's voice directly stopped the carriage.

Yue Guan looked at Hu Bai with some confusion: "What's wrong? Little guy, do you have any feelings?"

Hu Bai made up a story: "It feels like there is something in this forest."

Hu Bai didn't notice that when he was speaking, the silver vertical pupil on his forehead suddenly appeared and then disappeared in an instant.

And it happened to be seen by Yue Guan.

"This is Sunset Forest. It's where I fought with Old Poison before. It's getting late now. Why don't we..."

Before Yue Guan could finish his words, Hu Bai interrupted him: "No, Uncle Yue, let's go in now. I have a strong premonition."

Hu Bai was not lying. It was evening now. Because of his martial soul, Dugu Bo suffered from the backlash of the poison every day at midnight. This time period was the most serious. If Dugu Bo could not hold on, he would definitely use the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to suppress him.

To be honest, it is a miracle that Dugu Bo was able to survive and be promoted to Titled Douluo. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire played an indispensable role in this.

In the end, Yue Guan could only let two carriages wait nearby, while he took Hu Bai, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao into the Sunset Forest.

There is also a spirit kite in the dark.

After entering the Sunset Forest, Yue Guan began to explain to Hu Bai, "Although this Sunset Forest isn't as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, it's still one of the largest wild forests in the Tiandou Empire. Millennium-year-old soul beasts are the most numerous here, with a smaller number of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. According to my estimate, there are probably no more than two handfuls of fifty-thousand-year-old soul beasts."

Hu Bai listened quietly, secretly complaining in his heart, it was indeed no more than two handfuls. After Tang San resurrected Xiao Wu, in order to complete the missing spirit rings, he almost slaughtered all the 50,000-year-old spirit beasts in the Sunset Forest.

Although there is nothing wrong with soul masters hunting soul beasts in order to improve their cultivation, it is very disgusting that Tang San uses the banner of "the soul beasts I hunt are evil".

Gradually, under Yue Guan's leadership, they began to circle around in the Sunset Forest. Hu Bai looked around very carefully.

He knew that the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were in the Sunset Forest, but he didn't know exactly where it was, so he could only conduct a thorough search.

But I don't know if it was good luck, at some point in the night, when they were about to set up tents to rest, they suddenly saw a green mist in front of them.
