The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 53 The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire

Xia Liang gave a Gastly an antidote pill and then rushed into the poison array.

Unlike before, this Gastly flew fifty meters within the poisonous field before being dissolved and corrupted by the poisonous mist, taking about three seconds in total.

It seems that the anti-venom pill really is as Dugu Yan said, able to withstand Dugu Bo's snake venom for three seconds.

Gastly's flight speed is not fast, and it cannot pass through the poison field within three seconds.

However, it's a different story when you have a flying-type food-based soul skill.

Xia Liang then fed a Gastly a Swift Kick and a Poison Resistance Pill. With the added speed comparable to a speed-type Soul King, the Gastly passed through the poison array in two seconds and reached the safe area within the poison array.

Currently, the range of communication between my soul and Gastly is less than 200 meters.

Being able to receive messages from Gastly in the safe zone within the poison array means that the coverage area of ​​the poison mist within the array is less than 200 meters. As for the coverage area of ​​the poison mist in other areas, it is unknown.

Xia Liang didn't need to know that much. After consuming a Soaring Thousand Miles Gale Kick and gaining the ability to fly for three minutes, he covered his entire body with his sealed ribs and then took an antidote pill.

The very next second after swallowing the antidote pill, Xia Liang flew through the air and swiftly rushed into the poison array.

Because the poisonous fog inside the poison array was too dense, it was difficult to see anything. He could only vaguely sense that there was an environment of dark green and deep purple intermingling. It seemed that the poisonous fog inside the poison array was a mixed poison, which explained its power.

The ribs covering his entire body were completely corroded and dissolved by the toxic mist.

Fortunately, Xia Liang had broken out of the poisonous fog and entered a safe area.

Suspended in mid-air, he immediately took out an antidote pill from his tricolor ring and swallowed it, then gulped down several mouthfuls of detoxifying milk candy.

The toxins remaining in his body were first suppressed by the antidote pills and then cleared by the detoxifying milk. His consciousness gradually returned, and Xia Liang brushed off the dark green and deep purple powder attached to his clothes. The powder that fell off produced a pungent fishy smell that made people nauseous.

After cleaning off all the remaining toxins and toxic gases from his body, the discomfort gradually subsided. Xia Liang's gaze swept across the surrounding environment, and he finally saw the scene of the safe area inside the poison array.

The safe zone inside the poison array has no toxins mixed in with the air. Everything here is just as safe as outside the Sunset Forest, and there is no threat from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's venomous mist.

What unfolded before Xia Liang was a gloomy and strange place, with towering cliffs all around reefs. It was not a sea, but it was as damp as a beach where the tide had just receded.

Many brightly colored and uniquely shaped flowers and plants grow on the rock face.

Taking advantage of the fact that the effect of the flying food-type soul skill had not yet worn off, Xia Liang rode the wind and flew forward, surveying the surrounding terrain from a high vantage point.

At the same time, he also sent Gastly to explore the eerie and sinister places in advance.

Logically, after passing through the poison array, one should be able to see the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Why is there only a large mountain around, and strangely shaped fungi? This thing is clearly not some kind of magical herb or rare treasure.

A Gastly flew back to report that there was a misty fog behind the mountains.

At this moment, Xia Liangcai remembered that in the original novel, when Dugu Bo took Tang San into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there was a scene where they cleverly used the Eight Spider Lances to climb the mountain.

In other words, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is behind this mountain in front of us?

They flew to the top of the mountain, just as the effects of the flying food soul skills disappeared.

Xia Liang fell to the edge of the mountaintop, facing an inverted cone-shaped ravine.

Thick, humid heat rose slowly from the valley below, carrying a distinctive sulfurous smell.

Is it a hot spring?

Xia Liang's eyes lit up. This was exactly as described in the original novel. The hot spring with the smell of sulfur was probably the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye hidden at the foot of the mountain.

The rising heat along the mountain valley at this moment should be water vapor formed by the fusion of intense heat and extreme cold spiritual energy.

The original text mentions that even Dugu Bo could not withstand the intense heat and extreme cold spiritual energy generated by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for too long.

If one were to make contact rashly, there is a high risk that one's body would explode and die due to the inability to withstand the impact of the two extreme spiritual energies.

Back in the far north, she used the Milk Soul Emperor's hot milk drink to ward off the extreme cold.

Having learned from past mistakes, the threat of intense heat and extreme cold spiritual energy near the Yin-Yang Well was naturally taken into consideration.

Xia Liang took out a bottle of hot milk drink and a bottle of cold milk drink from the three-colored ring.

After drinking a sip, his body gained resistance to the invasion of cold and heat within six hours.

Snakes have a very keen sense of smell.

If Dugu Bo's true form as the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King grants him an extraordinary sense of smell, leaving behind a scent would undoubtedly cause trouble.

Previously, they used their ability to shield themselves from any aura or odor, as well as their food-type soul skill, "Treading on Snow Without Leaving a Trace."

This way, when entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, you don't have to worry about leaving footprints or smells.

Prepare countermeasures for all possible risks.

After making up his mind, Xia Liang jumped off the cliff in front of him. He didn't see the ground below the cliff until he had fallen two hundred meters.

Skeleton Martial Soul Released.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Xia Liang's body was covered by the dark purple ribs. He pressed the ground with the huge metacarpal bone of the skull's right arm, and then landed safely by cushioning the impact.

The first thing that catches the eye is a hazy mist covering a large area, and the unique smell of sulfur suddenly becomes stronger.

With the addition of hot and cold drinks, the extreme cold and heat of the spiritual energy in the mist was like the difference between taking a hot bath and a cold bath for Xia Liang.

"Hehehe."

A Gastly flew out from the hazy mist ahead, indicating that the area ahead was safe.

Walking a hundred meters forward, Xia Liang's gaze explored through the hazy mist, so excited that he almost forgot.

If you are about to reach the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, many of the surrounding plants may be highly poisonous.

For safety reasons, precautions must be taken to prevent poisoning; otherwise, contact with the poisonous herb could lead to unpredictable consequences.

The anti-poison pills given by Dugu Yan can enhance the body's resistance to poison, but there are only three left, so it's better to save them for now.

After a moment's thought, Xia Liang took out an iron bodysuit from his three-colored ring. This was a piece of armor that the Power Clan had sent to the Heavenly Dou Auction House for bidding.

Wearing this armor, one can barely withstand a full-force attack from a powerful offensive Soul Master, and its price has been raised to 20,000 gold soul coins.

Xia Liang didn't buy this iron bodysuit for fighting, but rather to wear it now to protect himself from the poisonous powder or toxins of the surrounding plants.

As long as the poison powder and toxins cannot come into contact with the body, there is no need to worry about poisoning.

About two minutes have passed.

Xia Liang put on the iron bodysuit. Although the protective gear was made of iron, it did not restrict his movements. It looked like a black diving suit. The only drawback was that it was very heavy, which would affect his movement speed.

However, it's better to move slowly near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so as not to accidentally step on or damage any top-grade immortal herbs.

After taking precautions against poisoning, Xia Liang walked another fifty meters and saw a spectacular sight.

Although the misty water obscures the view, if you concentrate and squint, you will find a very peculiar hot spring about 50 meters ahead. The oval pool is divided into two halves, one half is vermilion and the other half is milky white, resembling a yin-yang symbol.

This dual-source hot spring should be the source of both ice and fire.

Those strangely shaped plants around must be rare herbs and precious natural treasures. No wonder each plant has a radiant glow and grows so beautifully and uniquely.
