Dugu Bo Pays a Visit, Laying Plans for the Harvest

How venomous was a Black Mamba?

Only those who had been bitten had the right to speak on the matter.

One bite, and there was no need to wait for an ambulance. The funeral feast could begin right on the spot.

A lethal dose of Black Mamba venom was only 10 to 15 mg.

Generally speaking, a Black Mamba could inject 100 to 120 mg of venom with a casual bite.

It could even reach as much as 400 mg.

In other words, a single Black Mamba bite could easily wipe out a group of more than forty people.

That was terrifying to such an extent!

Why was the Black Mamba so terrifying?

Naturally, it was because Black Mamba venom primarily attacked the source of the nerves.

That made it a hundred times harder to deal with than venom that damaged the body.

Dugu Yan did not believe Tang San could still neutralize venom that attacked the source of the nerves.

Besides, the venom Dugu Yan now controlled was not just Black Mamba venom.

It was a fusion of both Jade Phosphorus Snake and Black Mamba venom.

It was poison piled on top of poison.

Dugu Bo listened, dumbstruck.

Wasn't this a little too damn heaven-defying?

Dugu Bo knew Su Yu was formidable, but he had not expected him to be formidable to this extent.

Dugu Bo would have thanked heaven and earth just for the Black Mamba tattoo's ability to solve Dugu Yan's backlash problem.

After all, without solving the backlash, Dugu Yan could not even fight with her full strength.

The Jade Phosphorus Snake's backlash had to be suppressed with Soul Power at all times.

The moment the Soul Power suppression was released, the backlash would immediately sweep through the entire body.

Therefore, even a Titled Douluo as powerful as Dugu Bo...

Had to suppress the backlash inside his body at all times when fighting an enemy.

It could be said that, as long as the backlash problem was solved...

The Dugu Family's combat strength could increase by at least forty percent.

And the Black Mamba Su Yu had tattooed on Dugu Yan had not only solved the problem but also given her an epic-level power-up.

This was completely beyond Dugu Bo's imagination.

"I thought Jade Phosphorus Snake venom was already the strongest poison under heaven."

"I never imagined something as heaven-defying as the Black Mamba existed."

Dugu Bo was filled with wonder.

Black Mamba venom struck directly at the source of the nerves.

Among the various poisons Dugu Bo knew well, none could do that.

Even Pope Bibi Dong, who presided over Spirit Hall...

Was not as terrifying as the Black Mamba.

"That brat Su Yu really is the promising prospect I took a fancy to."

"Yanyan, tell me honestly, are you two together?"

Dugu Bo burst out laughing, his voice full of curiosity.

A talent like Su Yu had to be tied to the Dugu Family's chariot.

"Mm..."

Dugu Yan answered softly, a little shy.

She and Su Yu had done everything they should not have done.

There was no need to deny it in front of Dugu Bo.

"Good! That's wonderful!"

Dugu Bo slapped his thigh in delight.

With Su Yu's mighty thigh to cling to...

How could the Dugu Family fail to prosper?

Dugu Yan's future achievements would surely surpass his.

"Grandpa, I came back this time not only to take you to meet Su Yu."

"I also came so he could solve the poison fire backlash afflicting you."

Dugu Yan spoke with a serious expression.

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and his heart involuntarily began pounding faster.

"He has something for me too!"

"This is wonderful!"

Of course Dugu Bo wanted to resolve the hidden danger in his body.

In order to suppress the backlash, his strength had been restricted by a full forty percent.

Not only that, but after he became a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo's strength had not advanced an inch in many years.

On the one hand, the gap between each level of Titled Douluo was like a chasm.

On the other, the poison fire backlash was holding him back.

Dugu Bo no longer wanted to be tormented. He wanted to free himself from the backlash.

He also wanted to keep advancing.

Why should he, Dugu Bo, have to be the weakest Titled Douluo?

He refused to accept it!

"Brother Yu has already prepared several tattoos for you."

"Grandpa, you can choose whichever you like."

Dugu Yan rattled on and on.

In any case, she talked him up as much as she could.

The more Dugu Bo listened, the more unpleasant he felt, as though he had swallowed a huge mouthful of aged vinegar.

He used to be the person Dugu Yan admired most.

But now, that person had been replaced by Su Yu.

Dugu Yan practically praised Su Yu to the heavens.

The way she told it, there was nothing Su Yu could not do.

Without the slightest exaggeration...

Even if a God King appeared, Dugu Yan would think Su Yu was more formidable.

This was simply blind worship.

"Alas... every generation brings forth its own talents!"

"The more formidable Su Yu is, the better it is for the Dugu Family. I shouldn't be jealous."

Dugu Bo comforted himself.

Soon...

Dugu Bo stopped dwelling on it.

After all, he still held the junior Su Yu in very high regard.

"Yanyan, let's go visit this unbelievably miraculous husband of yours."

Dugu Bo was growing impatient. He raised a hand to interrupt Dugu Yan's endless chatter.

If he let Dugu Yan keep talking...

Dugu Bo might have to listen until dark.

"Oh... Grandpa, all you do is tease me."

Dugu Yan huffed and reined in her excitement.

The two set off together, heading toward Su Yu's little shop.

Before long!

Dugu Bo appeared at the door.

As soon as Dugu Bo appeared...

A trace of icy killing intent from the shadows locked onto him, so faint it was almost imperceptible.

The source of that killing intent was none other than Snake Lance Douluo.

Qian Renxue had sent Snake Lance Douluo to protect Su Yu in secret.

Under normal circumstances, Snake Lance Douluo's work was very leisurely.

For in the vast Heaven Dou Empire, few could make him nervous.

But Dugu Bo was different...

He was a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level, just like him.

Snake Lance Douluo could not underestimate him.

If Dugu Bo dared to harbor any thoughts of harming Su Yu or take action against him...

Snake Lance Douluo would not mind a life-and-death battle breaking out in the bustling streets of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Snake Lance Douluo knew better than anyone how much importance Qian Renxue placed on Su Yu.

He would never allow anyone to harm the person the young master had taken a fancy to.

"That brat Su Yu really is capable, to make the crown prince spare no effort to win him over and protect him."

Dugu Bo's spiritual perception was fairly keen.

Naturally, he noticed Snake Lance Douluo guarding in secret.

Although he had never formally met Snake Lance Douluo...

From his senses alone, he could tell this was a powerhouse no weaker than himself.

One had to know that Titled Douluo were extremely rare.

In particular, most Titled Douluo were in Spirit Hall.

The top-level powerhouses the Heaven Dou Empire could mobilize could be counted on one hand.

Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had not kept such a top-level powerhouse by his side.

Instead, he had sent him to protect Su Yu. Dugu Bo truly could not understand it.

"Could it be that the crown prince isn't worried about his own safety, so he doesn't need a powerhouse like this to guard him?"

"Or is Su Yu's safety more important to the crown prince than his own?"

Dugu Bo did not understand what the other party was thinking.

But Dugu Bo did not intend to look into it further.

After all, this was ultimately beneficial to Su Yu.

Dugu Bo had no need to object.

Dugu Bo waved in Snake Lance Douluo's direction, signaling that he meant no harm.

Then Dugu Bo swaggered into the shop.

He was not here to cause trouble.

Snake Lance Douluo had no need to be so nervous.
