Poisonous Miasma? I Have a Gas Mask

If he were chopped up and used as fertilizer to grow flowers, it still wouldn't be enough!

Damn it, how had he been so muddleheaded back then that he fell for this brat's trick?

"I suddenly realized that you set me up," Chrysanthemum Douluo said belatedly.

"Now that we're already here, you don't get the chance to regret it."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression turned solemn as the pressure bore down on him. "I don't care about any Immortal Herbs now. I only hope the two of you can come back alive."

"Don't worry, I'm not married yet." Lu Leng patted his shoulder with mature composure.

"How much time do you need?"

"At least twelve hours!" Lu Leng calculated that it should be about enough.

Chrysanthemum Douluo slapped his hand away and gave him a weighty look. "Be careful in everything!"

Then his figure shot into the air. The aura of a Titled Douluo burst forth wildly, startling the surrounding birds and beasts into scattering. "Poison Mud Loach, your Grandpa Chrysanthemum is here to find you."

"Stinking Chrysanthemum, you've got some nerve coming alone!" Deep within the forest, a sinister green-haired old man appeared in the air. Behind him loomed an enormous emerald-green serpent, its eerie green glow chilling and terrifying.

He was Dugu Bo!

Just as he looked in the original work. With that vicious face, he's not someone to mess with. Lu Leng felt worried inwardly.

"Poison Mud Loach, today I'm here to take your life!"

"Stinking Chrysanthemum, you alone? Where's that ghost thing? Why doesn't he dare come out?" Dugu Bo knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were inseparable, so he remained wary of the surroundings.

"Why use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? I alone am enough!" As he spoke, Chrysanthemum Douluo seized the initiative and hurled a skill at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo was still afflicted by poison. His poison arts were renowned throughout Douluo Continent. Even though he was among the weaker Titled Douluos, few dared underestimate him. After all, his poison was far too powerful, and almost no one could cure it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had frequently dealt with him as well. He knew that he absolutely could not engage him in close combat. Ranged attacks were best, allowing him to advance and retreat at will.

"Since you want to die, this old man will grant your wish!" Dugu Bo's sinister gaze, paired with his grass-green hair, made him look especially frightening.

The battle erupted in an instant. Lu Leng and Hu Liena waited below for their opportunity while admiring the battle between the two.

A battle between Titled Douluos was not something one could witness whenever they pleased.

That old poisoner truly deserves his title as a poison-based Douluo. Poison gas fills the air, and wherever it passes, trees wither and spirit beasts collapse. If Chrysanthemum Douluo weren't so far from our position, this place would probably have been affected too. Lu Leng was deeply shaken.

As expected of a Titled Douluo. Even the weakest among them was this powerful.

He had been very proud of his previous Cross-level Challenges, arrogant because of his talent. Looking at it now, that had all been recklessness born from Bibi Dong's protection. If he ever left Spirit Hall, he probably would not even know how he died.

With that thought, Lu Leng became even more determined to strip the Immortal Herbs clean.

He had originally planned to leave Tang San a few Immortal Herbs.

But now that he thought about it, he had to be thorough. If he did not pull the weeds out by the roots, they would grow again with the spring wind.

The two exchanged blows back and forth. Soon, Chrysanthemum Douluo revealed a flaw. Dugu Bo seized the opportunity and immediately pursued him. Before long, the two vanished from Lu Leng's sight.

"Let's go. We need to hurry inside," Lu Leng said.

"Aren't you worried he'll come back?" Hu Liena asked.

"What's there to worry about? You just don't believe in Yue Guan's abilities." Lu Leng rolled his eyes at her disdainfully. In truth, he was not worried in the slightest, because Dugu Bo would never suspect that this was a scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Besides, even if Dugu Bo did realize it, he would not care. In his mind, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was extremely dangerous. Even he himself did not dare venture in recklessly, much less anyone else. Moreover, there was a layer of Poisonous Miasma around the perimeter. It was not a place just anyone could enter.

Thus, he was completely unconcerned about his lair being raided and directly chased after Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Hu Liena was instantly unhappy at being looked down on like that. She snorted coldly and walked toward the Poisonous Miasma.

"Are you trying to die?" Lu Leng grabbed her and pulled her back.

"What are you doing?!"

"Put this on!" As he spoke, Lu Leng took out a black, ugly-looking object.

"How disgusting. What is this? It's so ugly." Hu Liena took it and looked at it with utter distaste.

She had never seen anything like it. It looked like a mask, but the eye pieces were made of two sheets of glass, while the mouth area protruded so far outward that it resembled a wild boar.

"Something that'll save your life!" Lu Leng said irritably. Use it or don't.

This was a Gas Mask. It had taken him a whole week to make, and he had used only top-grade absorbing and insulating materials.

Though it was nowhere near as impressive as a modern one, it would have no problem lasting a day or two.

Then, he demonstrated to Hu Liena how to put it on.

Hu Liena was not the fussy sort. Though she disliked it, she quickly put it on anyway.

Once the mask was secured, Lu Leng tested it first. Finding that it worked well, he immediately gestured for Hu Liena to follow.

The area shrouded by the Poisonous Miasma was not very large. Lu Leng raced ahead, and after about a quarter of an hour, he arrived at its deepest point.

There, the Poisonous Miasma completely disappeared.

He looked around. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located low down beneath a cliff. Even if ordinary people reached the top of the cliff, they would struggle to spot it and would only think that the plants below were unusually lush.

But Lu Leng knew the location. He immediately removed his mask and began searching the area.

"This is it." Lu Leng soon confirmed it, and excitement appeared on his face.

"It's so high. How do we get down?" Hu Liena asked. Cliffs surrounded them, sheer as blades, without even a foothold. With their strength, they simply could not descend.

"Did you forget? I can fly!" As he spoke, the Thunderclap Wings spread behind Lu Leng's back.

Hu Liena stared at the wings behind him, her face filled with shock. Lu Leng had hidden himself so deeply. When did he get an External Soul Bone? I didn't even know. Suddenly, she could not help thinking, What other trump cards is he hiding that I don't know about?

"Then why didn't you fly earlier?"

"Are you stupid? What if there's someone inside?" Lu Leng looked at her with disdain again. He remembered that Dugu Bo had a granddaughter. If she happened to be nearby, would they not be discovered?

Hu Liena felt even more uncomfortable after Lu Leng scolded her.

"What are you standing there for? Get up here!" Lu Leng crouched halfway down. Seeing Hu Liena standing there foolishly, he gave another sharp shout, signaling for her to quickly climb onto his back.

"You're carrying me down?" Hu Liena's face could not help reddening at his words.

"What else? Do you want to jump down yourself?" Lu Leng rolled his eyes again.

Hu Liena grumbled inwardly again. How many times has this guy looked down on me in such a short while?
