"Hmm, it should have been just one person."
Dugu Yan nodded, the instructor always seemed to be alone.
And he had not mentioned going to the Sunset Forest with anyone else before.
Probably he was alone too.
"Okay then, let's stop discussing him for now. Since you're back today, rest well for a few days before returning to school. I'll come back later."
Dugu Bo had roughly understood what his granddaughter had said about the instructor.
Then he walked towards the outside.
"Grandpa, where are you going now?"
As she saw her grandfather getting ready to leave, Dugu Yan immediately asked with a puzzled face.
"I'm going out for a stroll."
After saying that, Dugu Bo disappeared from the house.
"Uh..."
Dugu Yan watched this scene with a helpless expression on her face.
Her grandfather had always been like this for years, coming and going without a trace.
It was only because she saw him today at the Tian Dou Royal Academy and told him she had something important to do that she returned home.
And now, before they had even had dinner, he was out the door.
Was there some mistake?
However, at this moment, Dugu Bo had already vanished.
Although he was quite interested in the young man his granddaughter had spoken of, the Sunset Forest was so vast, where could he start to look?
Impossible to find him, right!!
Right now, he was going to go to the medicinal garden to pick up some herbs.
Dugu Yan was a rare genius in the Dugu Family once in a hundred years, but her Green Phosphorus Snake Poison was also the most toxic within that century.
Now, not quite twenty years old, her body's poison was the same as her father's at the age of twenty-five.
If he had not frequently given her medicinal herbs to take, the poison would have already attacked her vital organs by now.
She might not even live to see thirty.
However, the young man she mentioned earlier indeed seemed to have some skill.
When the time comes, he could have Yen'er bring him to the Dugu residence.
In the Sunset Forest.
Ye Feng was walking back to the campsite carrying a rabbit and a wild chicken.
The blazing fire had been reignited.
He picked up the rabbit and the chicken and started roasting them again!
Why was he roasting them? He did not want to!
But just now, Chrysanthemum Douluo had come and eaten all of his roasted rabbit, leaving him only some scraps to nibble on. What else could he do??
The worst part was that the jerk even took one to go.
So, he had to roast again??
Otherwise, should he endure the hunger through the night?
Various essential wild resources were available around the Sunset Forest.
He prepared some wild vegetables, sprinkled them with some chili powder from his soul tool, and slowly roasted them over a gentle fire. An hour later, the delicious aroma was wafting through the air.
"Indeed, chicken and rabbit meat are the perfect match; they're so damn delicious!"
Ye Feng ate heartily!
But merely ten minutes later, he became vigilant!
"Who's there? Come out!"
Ye Feng glared at the surroundings.
His tone was extremely cold!
Could it be Tang Hao, this resolute and pesky guy who had caught up to him??
If that was the case, this time he would unleash Hellfire and then run!!
He admitted he couldn't kill Tang Hao.
He also admitted he was no match for Tang Hao!
But with the Scarlet Flame Serpent soul ring, he was confident he could escape from Tang Hao's clutches!
"Whoosh—"
Before Ye Feng could react, he noticed a small blue snake on the ground!!
"What the hell??"
Upon seeing the small blue snake, Ye Feng quickly leaped up!
Because it was a sense of lethal threat.
```
"Hiss hiss hiss~~"
The green snake flicked its forked tongue, its cold gaze fixating on Ye Feng.
"Could it actually be the Nine Segments Emerald??"
Ye Feng quickly recognized the snake!
After all, he was also a transmigrator.
It was so small and entirely green in color, with nine circular marks on its back, just like the Silver Ring Snake!
And what else could give him a sense of lethal threat if not the Nine Segments Emerald?
To know that the Nine Segments Emerald possesses city-slaying poison—for anyone bitten by this snake, it would take less than three breaths to dissolve into pus, leaving no bones remaining.
It can be said to belong to the same tier as his fourth soul ring's Shadow Poison Wolf.
But how could this thing appear here?
Wasn't it the pet of Du Gubo?
Could it be that the herb garden is nearby?
By setting up camp here, had he actually intruded into their territory, which provoked the Nine Segments Emerald to come and conveniently finish him off?
"What sect or family do you come from? I'm cultivating here today—if you don't want to die, get lost at once!"
At this moment, a voice sounded, followed by an old man with a head full of lush greenery approaching; even his eyes were green.
One could say he was green enough to glow.
Just now, Du Gubo had come to his herb garden and had not expected to detect someone else's presence nearby; how could he tolerate this?
All these years, everyone who came close to his territory was killed by him!
Originally, he planned to let his Nine Segments Emerald finish off this intruder today, just like usual.
After all, as soon as they were bitten, there would be no bones left, so he wouldn't have to bother with the cleanup.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually recognized his pet.
Those who can recognize his pet are no ordinary people.
They are at least disciples of the upper three families or from some reclusive family.
While Du Gubo himself is a Titled Douluo, there are certain things on this Continent that one shouldn't do too absolutely.
There is a saying that goes well: leave a line, and we shall meet again in the future.
"This..."
Ye Feng was shocked to see the person who came with nine soul rings twinkling.
Could this be what they mean by 'no pains, no gains'?
"What, you don't want to leave?"
Seeing Ye Feng's reaction, Du Gubo's tone instantly grew colder.
If this person didn't appreciate the situation, Du Gubo wouldn't mind killing him.
As long as he cleans up thoroughly, who would know?
He had refrained from killing just now because he, Du Gubo, did not want to court trouble; but if someone dare to court death, he, Du Gubo, would certainly show no mercy.
"With the Biphosphorous Snake Martial Soul...You must be Senior Du Gubo, right?"
Ye Feng said to Du Gubo at this moment.
"Who are you?!"
Then in the next second, Du Gubo's gaze turned exceedingly chilly!
His entire person teleported directly in front of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's neck was also constricted by Du Gubo's Martial Soul Cyanide Serpent!
The pressure was like being tightly strangled by a hemp rope, suffocating!
But Du Gubo didn't care about that—in this place, someone had openly spoken of his Martial Soul!
There was only one answer: they were targeting his herb garden!
This was his, Du Gubo's secret, as well as the lifeblood of the Dugu Family, and nothing should go wrong!
"I'm about to die, let go at once!!"
Ye Feng felt breathlessness and a lack of oxygen to his brain; he immediately exerted his Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe!!
Subsequently, five soul rings flickered around him from bottom to top!
This Du Gubo is simply a pervert.
Without a word, he struck!
And he was freaking choking me by the neck.
Who else in this world would have a Nine Segments Emerald as a pet?
It's freaking you, Du Gubo!
And you have the audacity to ask who I am.
Have you lost your mind!!
But now he simply couldn't speak, and most critically, the Biphosphorus Snake wrapped around his neck was getting tighter!
