"It seems Old Freak likes this place a lot!" Gu Rong said with a smile.
"After all, Grandpa loves researching all kinds of poisons the most. Seeing so many rare poisonous insects, of course he can't tear himself away." Dugu Yan said somewhat embarrassedly.
Dugu Bo quickly caught a lot of poisonous insects, put them into bottles and jars, and then put them into a Storage Soul Tool that could hold living things, before reluctantly getting up and turning to look at everyone looking at him.
However, he wasn't embarrassed at all. He directly took out a jade bottle from the Storage Soul Tool, poured out four medicinal pills from it, and threw them to Xu Yang and the others.
"This is a detoxification pill I concocted, which can protect everyone from the influence of the toxins here."
Everyone reached out to catch them, and then threw them into their mouths.
As Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo's research on toxins is unmatched on the entire continent. It was very simple for him to resolve the impact of the poisonous miasma on everyone. Next, the group entered the Poison Swamp, searching for their target Soul Beast this time—the ten thousand year Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion.
As one of the overlords of this Poison Swamp, the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion is a poisonous scorpion with a scarlet body, a pair of huge, very sharp pincers, and a very long scorpion tail, exceeding five meters in length, which is its most powerful means of attack.
Unfortunately, it was facing two Titled Douluos this time, and it didn't have the slightest resistance.
After Gu Rong and Dugu Bo entered the Poison Swamp, they didn't reason at all. Relying on their perception of Soul Power, the two quickly discovered all the ten thousand year Soul Beasts in the Poison Swamp. The Soul Power unique to Titled Douluos erupted, directly blasting these Soul Beasts from the Poison Swamp into the air.
"The third one on the left front should be the target Soul Beast we're looking for!" Gu Rong took a closer look and discovered the existence of the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion, smiling as he reminded Dugu Bo.
"Did I need you to remind me? I found it too!"
Dugu Bo rolled his eyes unhappily. His whole body flashed and he arrived above the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion. His right hand turned into a hand blade, and he directly delivered three strikes, cutting off the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion's double pincers and tail.
Then, he punched out again, knocking the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion unconscious.
After that, he carried the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion to Dugu Yan's side and threw it aside.
"Yan'zi, finish it off, but don't be reckless when absorbing the Soul Ring, understand?!"
"Got it!"
Dugu Yan nodded solemnly, took out a long knife from her bosom, and ended the life of the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion. Immediately, a faint black Soul Ring condensed. However, she didn't choose to absorb it immediately, but sat down cross-legged to meditate and adjust her state.
She wasn't Xu Yang. Although she had swallowed an Immortal Herb and her Third Soul Ring had reached six thousand years, her own Spiritual Power wasn't as strong as Xu Yang's, and she couldn't guarantee that she could withstand the Spiritual Power impact, so she had to adjust her state.
Anyway, the Soul Ring wouldn't dissipate for a while.
After about twenty minutes, Dugu Yan opened her eyes and began to absorb, guiding her Soul Power.
As the Soul Ring entered her body, Dugu Yan's expression was exceptionally painful. The blood vessels on her body surface kept bulging, and even her skin began to turn red. Violent Soul Power continuously overflowed from her pores, and even traces of blood seeped out.
"Yan'zi!"
Xu Yang looked worried. The Sun Golden Eyes instantly unfolded, and he began to observe the flow of Soul Power in her body to prevent problems.
Dugu Bo was also very worried. He turned to look at Gu Rong and said, "Old Bone, I owe you a favor. If Yan'er can't bear it later, please take action."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let anything happen to her." Gu Rong guaranteed.
It was best for a Super Douluo like him to take action in this situation. His cultivation was stronger, and forcibly interrupting the Soul Ring absorption process could minimize the losses.
Next, Dugu Yan maintained a painful expression, but fortunately, the situation didn't worsen, but instead improved. The Soul Power in her body gradually returned to stability, and the dragon energy on her body slowly became richer.
Although the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion was a scorpion, it contained rich dragon blood in its body and also belonged to the Sub-Dragon Species.
Dugu Yan's current Spirit is Horned Dragon. If she absorbed the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion, her Spirit could be strengthened again, just like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
At this moment, Xu Yang had already secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In his Sun Golden Eyes, the Soul Power within Dugu Yan's body had become very regular, and she had already begun to absorb the Soul Power within the Soul Ring, enhancing her own physique and spirit.
He understood that Dugu Yan had passed the most critical hurdle, and her future cultivation path would be smooth, until she absorbed a 100,000-year Soul Ring.
Dugu Bo still guarded Dugu Yan's side, constantly paying attention to Dugu Yan, because the Spiritual Power impact phase had not yet ended. Right now, the medicinal power of the Land Dragon Golden Melon had only alleviated the pressure on her Soul Power, and he still needed to bear the burden on the Spiritual Power front.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. The painful expression on Dugu Yan's face finally eased, becoming exceptionally calm, which meant that she had successfully withstood the Spiritual Power impact and began to completely absorb the Soul Ring slowly.
At this time, everyone was completely relieved, waiting for Dugu Yan to wake up.
After another hour, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes, looking excitedly at Dugu Bo beside her, and shouted, "Grandpa, I succeeded!"
As she spoke, four Soul Rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and black, appeared beneath her feet, and she spat out a mouthful of crimson mist towards the trees in the distance.
"Fourth Soul Skill·Azure Scale Fire Poison!"
The Fire Poison containing high temperature instantly ignited the trees, burning with a raging fire, and the tree trunks became pitted and covered with dense holes. It was obvious that this crimson poisonous mist also had a corrosive effect.
"Not bad! Very powerful! It's a good Soul Skill!" Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction.
He himself did not possess this kind of poison, but that did not prevent him from researching it.
Fire Poison is different from ordinary poison. Its destructive power is mainly reflected in the devastation of the meridians. It is a powerful poison that can feed on Soul Power to strengthen itself, and it is very difficult to eradicate. If one is poisoned by it for a long time, their cultivation will regress, and they may even become useless, endangering their life.
It seems weak, but it is fatal to Soul Masters, because this poison directly dissolves the Soul Master's cultivation. Without corresponding means to remove it, it is very likely that their cultivation will not improve for the rest of their lives, which is fatal to Soul Masters.
Moreover, this poison can also allow Soul Masters to temporarily increase their speed, strength, and defense, coupled with the characteristic of high temperature, it can be said to be a very versatile Soul Skill.
It is a very rare ten-thousand-year Soul Skill.
"Not only that, my Soul Power has also reached level forty-two, and my physique has been strengthened by 50%. My cultivation speed has also obviously increased." Dugu Yan felt her own state and became more and more satisfied with the Myriad Tribulations Fire Scorpion.
