A Dragon's Pool and a Tiger's Den? A Buffet!

Perhaps stung by his granddaughter's gaze, Dugu Bo's face flushed red in an instant.

He felt that he had lost all face in this single day.

Seeing Zhou You thought for a moment and understood. This person was holding a grudge, and if he wasn't allowed to release it, it might become a ticking time bomb someday.

He thought about it and decided that it would be good to show off his strength appropriately, so that the old man wouldn't pick on him all the time and cause trouble for him, leaving him to clean up the mess.

Once or twice is fine, but who can stand it every time?

So he took the initiative and said, "This junior has just made a breakthrough in strength and wishes to learn your techniques from you, senior. I wonder if Senior Poison would be willing to grant this junior's small wish?"

Dugu Bo's eyes immediately lit up, and he blurted out, "Really!"

His eagerness was so obvious that anyone could tell he had ill intentions. But then Dugu Yan did something that surprised Dugu Bo.

The girl grabbed Dugu Bo's sleeve and tugged at it gently.

"Yan'er?"

"Grandpa, how about we just forget about it?"

"?" Dugu Bo was puzzled. He pulled his granddaughter aside and whispered, "That brat just used you as a hostage and threatened me. Don't you want to vent your anger?"

Zhou You and the others were speechless. This old man, whether on purpose or not, everyone here except Dugu Yan was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed. Even if he turned his voice down, everyone could hear him clearly.

'That old poisoner, he's getting worse with age, his mind is smaller than a needle...' Yue Guan thought speechlessly.

However, this also lessened his hostility considerably. If Dugu Bo was only trying to vent his anger, then it proved that he knew his limits.

So Yue Guan looked at Zhou You and gave him a look.

Zhou You nodded.

Well, this kid is fearless.

Considering Zhou You's performance over the years, Yue Guan that since the kid was willing to accept the challenge, it meant he wouldn't suffer a loss, so she let things take their course.

On the other side, upon hearing her grandfather's words, Dugu Yan suddenly became a little hesitant and whispered, "Actually... he didn't hurt me. In fact, he saved me..."

Dugu Bo's eyes widened suddenly, filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei also showed subtle expressions. The two looked at Zhou You in tacit understanding, only to see that the boy remained expressionless and unmoved.

Yue Guan Zhou You a half-smile, then gently nudged him with his elbow, and the latter rolled his eyes at him.

An old lewd man.

Dugu Bo didn't want to talk anymore. He hardened his heart, ignored his granddaughter's soft pleas, and went to Zhou You.

"Listen up, kid!"

Dugu Bo's voice was filled with anger, but this time, Yue Guan and Gui Mei were no longer angry; instead, they smiled without saying a word.

This made the old poisoner even more unhappy.

"Kid, I've set up some Poison Formation around here, containing Poisonous Plants and Poison Soul Beasts. They'll be the walls and fortresses of this place!"

"Among them, the oldest are at the Thousand-Year Rank, and the youngest are at the Hundred-Year Rank. Although their strength is not particularly great, they are extremely troublesome. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Rank Soul Beast would be defeated and sent away."

"Are you really going to try it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou You nodded secretly.

Old Poison was a straightforward person. Although he wanted to vent his anger, he still explained the situation in general terms, so that Zhou You wouldn't barge in completely confused.

Seeing that Zhou You did not back down, and his expression did not even change, Dugu Bo looked at him with newfound respect.

That makes sense, though. This kid dared to threaten him with his precious granddaughter, what wouldn't he dare to do?

The old man glanced at him sideways. "Kid, I think you probably know what I'm planning. Don't worry, I just want to embarrass you and vent my anger. I'm not interested in your life."

"If you feel you can't hold on any longer, call for help. I'll come and get you."

"Don't worry, you probably won't have that opportunity."

"Tch, arrogant brat." Dugu Bo sneered. "I'll wait and see. This formation here represents the culmination of my life's work. If you're careless, you'll die!"

His title is [Poison], so he naturally takes pride in using poison. Otherwise, he wouldn't call himself the number one Poison Soul Master on the continent. The Poison Formation he set up here is a set of poison techniques that he figured out on his own, based on the Mountain-Protecting Formation Upper Three Sects.

[Arrays] also exist in the Douluo Continent, but they are not systematic. They are generally activated through large Soul Tools, which means that those who possess arrays either inherited them from their ancestors or used array Soul Tools excavated from Ancient Ruins.

Someone like Poison Douluo, who developed his own formations through research and experimentation, is more like a pioneer from the primitive era. Simply put, he is someone who truly puts his mind to work and studies diligently.

Zhou You was immediately filled with respect.

"I see. It was my rudeness."

Dugu Bo didn't know why his attitude had suddenly become so humble, but his mood had eased considerably.

Seeing that Zhou You was determined, the Gui Mei glanced at Yue Guan and asked, "Aren't you going to stop him?"

He wants to give it a try.

'No problem?'

'Probably not...'

Gui Mei eyes sharpened, making Yue Guan feel a little guilty.

As the two exchanged glances, Zhou You had already stepped into the Poison Formation. Suddenly, countless miasma appeared around him, enveloping him like a white mist.

Zhou You immediately had a thought, and [Escape Light] unfolded on his body, enveloping his entire body.

This time, Dugu Bo finally noticed the abnormality in Zhou You and was immediately taken aback.

'What kind of tactic is this?'

Through his Mental Power, he could vaguely sense that Zhou You's body was covered by an invisible shield formed by Soul Power, but it was different from ordinary Soul Power protection.

'Is this the thing that blocked my poison?'

Dugu Bo was in a difficult position with Zhou You not only because the boy had just threatened him, which made him angry, but also because the boy had easily defended against his poison, which left him feeling uneasy and unable to sleep until he figured out why.

However, this Otherworldly Arts is constructed from Qi, and its Arts of action is different from that of ordinary Soul Skills. When Dugu Bo tried to investigate it using the methods of Soul Master, he could only see through the fog and could not see it clearly no matter what.

Before he could figure it out, Zhou You's figure had already disappeared into the poisonous miasma, cutting off all sight.

Dugu Yan watched this scene silently, a hint of concern in her eyes. As a resident of this place, she knew all too well how troublesome her grandfather's Poison Formation was.

Zhou You may be very strong, but poison is something that cannot be dealt with simply by strength. Its advantage lies in its insidious and unpredictable nature.

That person must be finding it very difficult to move now, right?

At this moment, inside the poisonous miasma, Zhou You opened his Treasure Bag, and the Xiao Bai Diao, which had already woken up, quietly poked its head out and darted out with a "whoosh".

When he returned, Feidian had an arm-length Jade Phosphorous Serpent in his mouth, munching on it like a spicy snack, and swallowing it in a few bites.

It licked its lips, its eyes shining as it stared at the strip of plants composed of the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flowers.

This isn't a den of dragons and tigers, it's a buffet restaurant!
