Chapter 65 Dugu Bo's snake venom took effect
The Titled Douluo's eyesight was so good that when his sight broke through the heavy mist and found that the two ice and fire herbs were cut by some sharp weapon, Dugu Bo, who had just relaxed, immediately became alert.
Although it may not be a sharp weapon, the claws of the soul beast can also cut the herbs cleanly and neatly.
He glanced at the hazy mist around him and his mental power covered an area of a thousand meters, but Dugu Bo did not find any suspicious creatures.
It seems that these two ice and fire herbs were stolen during the time when I was away from home.
Was it the work of a soul beast or a soul master?
After searching on the ground for a while, Dugu Bo still couldn't find any clues.
Logically speaking, if someone came near the red and blue hot springs, they should have left footprints, but there were no signs of being stepped on the ground, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a soul beast or a soul master.
If it was a soul beast, it would be fine, because he had no enemies in the soul beast world, so he wouldn't have to worry too much even if his secluded place was exposed.
But if it was a soul master
, Dugu Bo's heart suddenly tightened when he thought of this. If the soul master discovered the crazy and embarrassed look he had when suppressing the snake venom just now, the secret that he was suffering from the backlash of the snake venom would most likely be exposed.
By then, all the enemies in the soul master world will come to find me, and I will have no way out but death.
What made Dugu Bo even more frightened was that his body was in an extremely weak state at this moment. If there was a powerful soul master hiding nearby, he would be assassinated to death at any time.
There was a thief in the house, but no one knew where the thief was hiding, let alone his specific strength. Even Poison Douluo couldn't help but feel worried.
After walking carefully around the spring for several times within a hundred meters, Dugu Bo discovered that not only were there ice and fire herbs on both sides of the spring, but there were also several herbs with broken stems. The main body of the herbs had disappeared, leaving only the roots.
If it was a soul beast, it would just eat the herbs directly and would not be so particular as to break it off from the stem.
So the person who stole the herbs must be a soul master.
Then the soul master who can pass through the protection of the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Array unscathed and reach the vicinity of the hot spring water must be a strong soul master above the Soul Saint level.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, this was the first possibility that Dugu Bo thought of.
Because there are so many disciples in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, every once in a while the elders of the sect will lead the disciples into the Sunset Forest to obtain spirit rings for advancement.
If this happens repeatedly, it is inevitable that someone will accidentally enter the green phosphorus snake venom array and discover the existence of red and blue hot spring water.
However, Dugu Bo quickly ruled out this conjecture, because if it was the people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who accidentally entered the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Formation, then they would definitely know that the Red and Blue Hot Spring Water was the territory restricted by Poison Douluo, and they would never take the herbs without even saying hello.
If it was done by someone from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, then the sect leader Ning Fengzhi would definitely visit them in person and explain the situation to him.
After all, no big family or sect is willing to be an enemy of Poison Douluo.
Returning to the vicinity of the red and blue hot springs, Dugu Bo fell into deep thought. After counting, he found that a total of six herbs were stolen.
The stems of five of the herbs were broken, and one of them was dug out with its roots and soil.
Although the hole dug in the ground has been filled, it has been filled perfectly.
But a Titled Douluo's eyesight can even distinguish the transformed soul beasts, so how could he not see the traces of the ground being filled?
Looking back on his experiences over the years, Dugu Bo is looking for possibilities from the impressions of his enemies one by one. There are indeed many big families that he has bullied.
However, ever since his life was saved by Prince Xuexing and he became a guest official of the empire, he believed that he had never provoked anyone.
The herbs that were stolen nearby did not seem to have been stolen by the enemy, because the enemy did not want his herbs, but his life.
Why did the other party pass through the Green Phosphorus Snake Venom Formation unscathed and come to the vicinity of the Red and Blue Hot Springs, but did not steal all the nearby herbs, but only took six?
The Chrysanthemum Pass of the Spirit Hall is proficient in knowledge of flowers and plants. If he brought people in, it would be impossible for him to take only six herbs
. After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo quickly got the answer. The person who stole the herbs must know these six herbs.
People who know a little about herbal medicine should know that the herbs near the Red and Blue Hot Springs have extremely powerful medicinal properties, and eating too much will only backfire.
Therefore, the person who stole the herbs would never dare to eat the six herbs on the spot.
If you don't consume all the herbs, you will definitely need to store the remaining herbs for future needs.
Dugu Bo seemed to have thought of something.
The two-ring great soul master that my granddaughter mentioned seemed to be called Master Xia. The Ruyi Treasure Bag that he won before happened to be a living soul guide device for storing herbs.
What is that?
Dugu Bo suddenly saw some burnt clothes on the red hot spring bank of the red and blue hot spring water.
These clothes were obviously splashed out from 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 one fell into this red hot spring water, there would be death.
So how could anyone be so stupid as to jump in and commit suicide?
Could it be that there were more than one person stealing the herbs, maybe two or more?
Did he push his companion into the red hot spring water to kill him in order to keep the herbs for himself?
Regardless of whether the person who stole the herbs was dead or not, the only clue Dugu Bo could think of now was the Master Xia mentioned by his granddaughter.
The Ruyi treasure bag is gone, and now several herbs are also gone.
Although it is impossible for a second-ring great soul master to come to the vicinity of the Red and Blue Hot Springs safely, just in case, he still has to check the Ruyi Treasure Bag won by the second-ring master Xia to see if the lost herbs are stored in it, or if there is any scent of hot spring herbs.
The next day, afternoon.
Tiandou City, hotel.
In the room.
Having just returned from Tianshui City, Xia Liang took a shower and lay down on the soft big bed to rest.
He went to Tianshui City not to do whale glue business. At present, his body has been transformed by Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Fiery Apricot, and the strengthening effect of whale glue is no longer obvious.
Rather than continuing to engage in the whale rubber business and arousing suspicion from others, it is better to give up the idea from now on.
This time when Xia Liang went to Tianshui City, he went to buy some Bilian smoked perch that had been cultivated for ten years.
Under the pretext of buying fish soul beasts to cook, he asked a water-attributed soul master from the Shui family to clean the living creature storage space inside the Ruyi Treasure Bag using a water-attributed soul skill that could erase all breath and odor.
Now the storage space of Ruyi Treasure Bag is brand new, just like it has been initialized, without any trace of the scent of the magic grass left.
In fact, when I first started researching the black chicken and smoked sea bass soup, I had already asked the water-attributed soul master to clean it.
Up to now, the Ruyi Treasure Bag has been cleaned four times. Even Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who is proficient in knowledge of immortal herbs, cannot sense the presence of a trace of immortal herbs in it, let alone Dugu Bo who knows nothing about immortal herbs.
And those magical herbs that were temporarily planted in pots were moved to a secret place that only Gastly could find.
There are countless Gastly guarding there to ensure that the immortal herbs are safe.
After learning the news of Dugu Bo's return yesterday at noon, Xia Liang went over all the potential risks he could think of and made countermeasures.
If he couldn't hide this from Dugu Bo, he could only expose his current martial soul ability and soul ring talent, and then seek a turnaround by relying on the two-in-one fusion technique that he and Dugu Yan had been practicing these days
