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

Chapter 65 Dugu Bo's snake venom flared up.

With his exceptional eyesight, the Title Douluo immediately became alert when his gaze broke through the layers of mist and he discovered that the two ice and fire herbs had been cut by some kind of sharp weapon.

Even if it's not a particularly sharp weapon, a soul beast's claws can still cleanly and efficiently cut through herbs.

Dugu Bo glanced around at the hazy mist and simultaneously used his mental energy to cover a distance of a thousand meters, but he did not find any suspicious creatures.

It seems that these two ice and fire herbs were stolen while I was away on a long trip.

Was it the work of a soul beast or a soul master?

After searching the ground for a while, Dugu Bo still couldn't find a single clue.

Logically, if someone entered the vicinity of the red and blue hot spring water, they should have left footprints, but there were no signs of trampling on the ground at all, making it impossible to tell whether it was a soul beast or a soul master who had been there.

If it's a spirit beast, that's fine, because I have no enemies in the spirit beast world, so even if my secluded place is exposed, I don't have to worry too much.

But if it's a Soul Master

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo felt a sudden tightness in his heart. If a Soul Master discovered his frantic and disheveled appearance when he was suppressing the snake venom, the secret of his suffering from the backlash of the snake venom would likely be exposed.

When that time comes, all the enemies in the Soul Master world will come knocking on my door, and I will only have one way out: death.

What frightened Dugu Bo even more was that his body was in an extremely weak state at this moment, and if a powerful Soul Master was hiding nearby, he could be assassinated at any time.

A thief broke into the house, and the thief's whereabouts and strength were unknown. Even a Poison Douluo couldn't help but feel worried.

After cautiously circling the area within a hundred meters of the spring, Dugu Bo discovered that not only the ice and fire herbs on both sides of the spring, but also several herbs had their stems broken off, and the main body of the herbs was gone, leaving only the roots in place.

If it were a spirit beast, it would simply eat the herbs; it wouldn't be so particular as to break the stem.

Therefore, the person who stole the herbs must be a Soul Master.

The Soul Master who could pass through the protection of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Venom Array and reach the vicinity of the hot spring water unscathed must be a powerful expert at the Soul Saint level or above.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the first possibility that Dugu Bo thought of.

Because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has many disciples, every now and then, the sect elders would lead the disciples into the Sunset Forest to obtain soul rings for advancement.

This repeated process inevitably led some people to stumble into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent's Venomous Array and discover the existence of the red and blue hot spring water.

However, Dugu Bo quickly dismissed this conjecture, because if the people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had mistakenly entered the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Poison Formation, they would certainly know that the Red and Blue Hot Spring Water was the territory that Poison Douluo had confined, and they would never have taken the herbs without a word.

If it was done by someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi, would definitely pay a personal visit and explain the situation to me.

After all, no major family or sect would be willing to be an enemy of Poison Douluo.

Back near the red and blue hot spring, Dugu Bo fell into deep thought. After counting, a total of six herbs had been stolen.

Five of the herbs had their stems broken off, and one herb was dug up with its roots and soil intact.

Although the pit dug in the ground has been filled in, and filled in perfectly.

But a Title Douluo's eyesight is so sharp that he can even distinguish the transformation of a soul beast, so how could he not see the traces that the ground had been filled in?

Looking back on his experiences over the years, Dugu Bo is searching for possibilities in the memories of his enemies. He has indeed bullied quite a few powerful families.

However, ever since he was saved by Prince Xuexing and became a guest minister of the empire, he believes that he has never actively provoked anyone.

The stolen herbs nearby didn't seem to be the work of the enemy, because the enemy didn't want the herbs, but rather the life of the person who stole them.

Why did the other party pass through the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Venom Formation unscathed and arrive near the Red and Blue Hot Spring Water, but instead of stealing all the nearby herbs, only take six?

Chrysanthemum Pass of the Spirit Hall is an expert in herbal medicine. If he brought people in, it's highly unlikely he would have been so kind as to only take away six herbs.

After a moment's thought, Dugu Bo quickly came to an answer. The person who stole the herbs must have recognized these six herbs.

Those who know a little about herbs should know that the herbs near the Red and Blue Hot Springs have extremely strong medicinal properties, and eating too much of them will only have the opposite effect.

Therefore, the person who stole the herbs would never dare to eat six herbs on the spot.

If you don't finish the herbs, you'll definitely need to store the remaining herbs for future use.

Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something.

The second-ring Grand Soul Master that my granddaughter mentioned, I think his name was Master Xia, the Ruyi Treasure Pouch he won before happened to be a living soul tool for storing herbs.

What is that?

Suddenly, Dugu Bo noticed some charred clothes on the red hot spring shore, where the water was red and blue.

These clothes were clearly splashed out of the red hot spring water.

In other words, someone once jumped into the red hot spring water and was burned to death.

This person might be the one who stole the herbs.

What Dugu Bo found strange was that any Soul Master could see that once someone fell into the red hot spring water, it would inevitably lead to death.

So how could anyone be so foolish as to jump in and commit suicide?

Could there be more than one person stealing herbs, perhaps two or more?

Did he push his companion into the red hot spring water and kill him so that he could keep the herbs for himself?

Regardless of whether the person who stole the herbs is dead or not, the only clue Dugu Bo can think of right now is Master Xia from the Second Ring Road, whom his granddaughter mentioned.

The Ruyi Baibao Nang (a magical pouch) is gone, and now even the few medicinal herbs are gone.

Although it's impossible for a second-ring Soul Master to safely reach the vicinity of the Red and Blue Hot Springs, just to be on the safe side, we still need to check the Ruyi Treasure Pouch that Master Xia, a second-ring Soul Master, won to see if it contains any lost herbs or if it carries the scent of hot spring herbs.

The next day, afternoon.

Tian Dou City, Hotel.

inside the room.

Having just returned from Tianshui City, Xia Liang took a shower and lay down on the soft bed to rest.

He didn't go to Tianshui City to do business with whale glue. His body has already been modified by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, so the strengthening effect of the whale glue is no longer obvious.

Rather than continuing the whale glue business and arousing suspicion, it's better to abandon this idea altogether.

Xia Liang's purpose in coming to Tianshui City was to purchase some Jade Lotus Smoked Perch, which he had cultivated for ten years.

Under the guise of buying fish and spirit beasts to cook with, he asked a water-attribute spirit master from the Shui family to use a water-attribute spirit skill to clean the living creature storage space inside the Ruyi Treasure Pouch, removing any aura or odor.

Now the storage space of the Ruyi Treasure Pouch has been completely renewed, just like it was initialized, with not a trace of the herbal essence remaining.

Actually, when I first started researching the black-boned chicken and smoked perch soup, I had already had the water-attribute soul master cleanse it once.

To date, the Ruyi Treasure Pouch has been cleaned four times. Even Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who is well-versed in the knowledge of immortal herbs, could not detect a trace of immortal herb aura within it, let alone Dugu Bo, who knows nothing about immortal herbs.

The fairy herbs that were temporarily planted in pots were all moved to a secluded place that only Gastly could find.

There are countless Gastly guarding the area, ensuring that the fairy herbs will not encounter any accidents.

Upon learning of Dugu Bo's return yesterday at noon, Xia Liang reviewed all the potential risks he could think of and devised countermeasures.

If even this cannot be hidden from Dugu Bo, then he can only expose his current martial soul ability and soul ring talent, and then seek a turning point by relying on the two-in-one fusion technique that he and Dugu Yan have been practicing together for the past few days.
