"Eh? Another mischief-making option had actually been triggered, and the third option was a Green Fatty Experience Card. That was pretty good."
Delight flashed through Li Xuan's eyes. He quickly scanned the three options and, drawn by the generous reward, ultimately chose the third one.
Ding! Selection complete. Please do your best.
Ignoring the system's voice, Li Xuan turned to look at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The origins of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were far from simple. After two Dragon Kings died, their bodies were buried deep beneath the earth. It was because of those corpses that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had gradually formed.
The various treasures and Immortal Herbs within the secret realm had also been nourished by the corpses of the two Dragon Kings, which was how the current scene had come to be.
Li Xuan's Natural Space was not very large. It was already filled with all kinds of Immortal Herbs and packed with far too many items, leaving no room for the corpses of the two Dragon Kings.
Otherwise, he would definitely have stored the two Dragon Kings' corpses away and slowly cultivated all kinds of Immortal Herbs himself.
Of course.
Even if he could not take the Dragon Kings' corpses away, he would still move the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well into his Natural Space, taking as much as he could.
After all, he would transform into Hulk and beat up Poison Douluo later. He was not afraid of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's extreme heat and cold at all.
Therefore.
Li Xuan found some tools in Bibi Dong's ring and began collecting the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot while waiting.
In Sunset Forest.
Dugu Bo led his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, through the dangerous area where spirit beasts roamed, advancing step by step.
With his overwhelming strength, no spirit beast dared provoke them. In the end, they strolled like they were out for a leisurely outing until they reached the edge of the poisonous gas emitted by the Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flower.
"Grandpa, is this where you live in seclusion? Are there really rare plants inside?"
Still a little girl, Dugu Yan blinked her large eyes and asked in an adorably innocent voice.
"Of course. Why would Grandpa lie to you? I have benefited enormously from this place. There are plenty of good things inside."
Dugu Bo smiled as he spoke, his eyes full of affection when he looked at Dugu Yan.
"But this is Sunset Forest. Won't spirit beasts eat those rare plants? I remember rare plants are very attractive to spirit beasts, and other Soul Masters might come to pick them too."
Dugu Yan placed her fair little hand against her lips and asked in a crisp, pleasant voice. Her serious expression made her look like a tiny adult.
"Don't worry. Neither spirit beasts nor Soul Masters dare enter. Even Spirit Douluos would not dare go in. I'm the only one who can enter this place."
Dugu Bo spoke confidently, his eyes filled with pride.
"Eh? Why?"
Dugu Yan tilted her little head and looked at her grandfather with an innocent expression.
"It's very simple. The outskirts of the secret realm are guarded by Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers. The poisonous gas they emit is extremely potent. As long as spirit beasts or Soul Masters touch even a little of it, they will be poisoned. If they enter the poisonous mist, death is certain.
"In this world, only I, Poison Douluo, can come and go freely, and I can even gain benefits from it. Now do you understand why the rare plants here have been preserved?"
Dugu Bo explained, but every word carried absolute confidence and pride.
After hearing her grandfather's words and seeing his proud appearance, Dugu Yan said admiringly, "Grandpa truly deserves to be a Title Douluo. You're amazing."
"Of course. Come on, Grandpa will take you into the secret realm for a look and broaden your horizons."
"Mhm."
The pair, one old and one young, walked into the poisonous mist. With Poison Douluo's formidable methods, the poisonous mist could not affect them at all. It even brought them certain benefits.
Throughout the process, Dugu Yan watched her grandfather's powerful methods and grew increasingly proud to have such a grandfather.
After all, her grandfather was a Title Douluo, one of the world's strongest experts. Combined with his terrifying poison, countless people had to treat him with the utmost respect upon seeing him.
Thus, at this moment, Dugu Yan's formerly innocent demeanor gradually began changing into the temperament of a young lady.
However.
When they arrived at the secret realm.
Looking at the empty ground and the few low-grade medicinal herbs scattered about, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. Even Dugu Yan froze.
"Grandpa, aren't these low-grade medicinal herbs? Why did you say they were precious herbs?"
Dugu Yan blinked her large eyes and asked suspiciously. The temperament she had just begun developing immediately vanished, and she vaguely felt that her grandfather had been bragging.
"Impossible! How could this happen? The ground was clearly covered in precious medicinal herbs before! Why are they all gone? Wait, someone's here!!"
Dugu Bo suddenly noticed something. With anger on his face, he quickly stepped forward several paces and saw the back of a little boy beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The boy was not tall, much shorter than even his granddaughter. His skin was fair and tender, yet he was currently clutching two precious medicinal herbs.
"Damn it! You dared steal my medicinal herbs! You're infuriating me! You're infuriating me!!"
Poison Douluo roared furiously. Powerful Soul Power rippled in every direction as a jade-green serpent condensed into existence, floating in the air and staring at the little boy with lifeless eyes.
Even Dugu Yan felt somewhat frightened by the sight. She had never seen her grandfather so enraged before, but now.
Her usually gentle grandfather had revealed his furious side. Such rage proved that this little boy was about to suffer.
Considering that her grandfather might kill the boy, Dugu Yan was still kind-hearted at this moment, so she warned him kindly.
"Little brother, hurry and give Grandpa's things back, or you'll die."
"Is that so? Have you ever seen Poison Douluo get beaten to a pulp?"
The little boy's calm voice rang out. It was not loud, but it was exceptionally firm, carrying the feeling that victory was already assured.
Dugu Yan was slightly stunned upon hearing this, her little head going blank for a moment.
But in the next second, her eyes suddenly widened, and her rosy little mouth formed an O.
Roar!!! A heaven-shaking roar resounded in all directions. A terrifyingly vast, beast-like aura burst forth without restraint, making even the air tremble.
Along with that roar, the little boy suddenly transformed at a visible speed into a Green Fatty, a terrifying monster with bulging muscles.
The instant the monster appeared, its huge foot stomped fiercely on the ground. Then—
Boom! The armored-vehicle-like Green Fatty charged forward with heavy thuds, rushing at astonishing speed until it reached Dugu Bo.
"Die!!"
Dugu Bo's heart jolted at the sudden change, but he was a Title Douluo, and both his combat ability and reaction speed were first-rate.
So he attacked immediately. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, brimming with terrifying poison and radiating powerful Soul Power, viciously bit down on the Green Fatty.
Bang! Green mist spread through the air. The poison released by the powerful Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor instantly engulfed the Green Fatty. Its toxicity was incredibly fierce, reducing the grass on the ground to nothing in an instant.
The Green Fatty was also enveloped by the poison and bound by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, coming to a complete stop.
"What a death wish. After inhaling my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor poison, even a Spirit Douluo would certainly die. This is what happens when you provoke me."
Dugu Bo watched the scene and proudly spoke with his hands behind his back. His powerful aura spread freely as he looked down upon all beneath him like a king.
Seeing her grandfather so powerful, Dugu Yan clenched her fair little fists in admiration.
Yet at that very moment.
At the very moment Dugu Bo proudly stood with his hands behind his back.
A massive green hand suddenly grabbed Dugu Bo by the ankle, and then—boom boom boom boom!
The savage smashing began. Like someone swinging around a baby chick, the Green Fatty gripped Dugu Bo and violently slammed him left and right.
He smashed him back and forth with deafening booms, shaking the earth, sending dust flying, and knocking several of Poison Douluo's teeth loose.
When the violent smashing finally stopped, Poison Douluo was embedded in the ground. He stared blankly upward with lifeless eyes, lying motionless as if he had been smashed senseless.
Then.
Having finished all that, the Green Fatty turned his huge head toward Dugu Yan, who stood frozen in terror nearby, and clenched his massive green fist.
