The air seemed to freeze.
Kraken's gaze fell calmly on Dugu Bo's dark green eyes through the shadow of the hood. He clearly captured the deep fear and exploration in the other person's eyes, as well as the uncertainty that could not be completely hidden under the pretense of calmness.
Go to Dragon Fall Basin?
Kraken thought slightly in his mind, "It seems that Dugu Bo has indeed recognized my identity as Soul Beast..." Kraken analyzed calmly in his heart.
"Dragon Fall Basin..." Kraken quickly searched for relevant information in his consciousness, "Then Zhao Wuji, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wushuang, there are still nine Soul Douluo... According to the normal process, if their Soul Hunting goes well, they should have absorbed Soul Ring by now, and may be returning, or resting nearby."
Dugu Bo wants to plot against him and lead him into a preset "battlefield". However, in Kraken's eyes, Dugu Bo himself is just a prey.
"The worst result is that three Titled Douluo-level combatants will fight against me, 'Transformed Soul Beast'..." Kraken thought indifferently, "This is probably what Dugu Bo planned. Unfortunately, he missed the most critical point - the person is no longer here."
Thoughts are spinning, it seems long, but in fact it only lasts a moment.
Faced with Dugu Bo's seemingly calm but actually hidden proposal and scrutinizing gaze, Kraken finally took action.
He nodded slowly, and with a gentle squeeze of his fingers covered with dark blue scales, the green snake scale token disappeared silently into his palm.
He did not express any joy or eagerness for Dugu Bo's proposal, and still maintained that elusive calmness.
"Dragon Fall Basin..." Kraken's voice came out through the cloak, still low and steady, with no emotion, "I have indeed heard something. In that case, I'll lead the way, senior."
He didn't question or ask, he simply accepted the proposal. This reaction only made the string in Dugu Bo's heart tighten even more.
He was too calm, abnormally calm. Could it be that the other party had seen through his plan? Or was it that the other party had absolute confidence in his own strength and didn't care if there was an ambush?
Dugu Bo's dark green eyes flickered slightly, and his heart became more alert. But he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled hoarsely and stepped aside to move away from the entrance of the passage.
"In that case, your Excellency, please come with me. Dragon Fall Basin is still some distance away from here. The road is covered with poisonous miasma, and Soul Beast is rampant. You need to follow closely and don't get separated." Dugu Bo said, turning around first and stepping into the deep passage surrounded by poisonous miasma.
His steps seemed random, but with every step he took, the poisonous miasma surrounding his body circulated, as if it merged with him, not only guiding the way, but also silently demonstrating his absolute control over this area.
Kraken did not speak, but just stepped to keep up. His pace was neither fast nor slow, and his gray cloak swayed gently in the poisonous miasma. He walked a few steps behind Dugu Bo. This distance allowed him not to lose track, but also maintained enough reaction distance.
The air around him seemed to be colder and stagnant than elsewhere. The poisonous miasma mist that floated over seemed to encounter an invisible barrier when it came within a few feet of his body, making it difficult for it to truly infect him.
Although Dugu Bo did not look back, the powerful Mental Power always locked on Kraken behind him. Feeling the opponent's natural rejection of the poisonous miasma and the Purification effect, he felt even more awe-inspiring.
This guy is indeed not simple. Even the poisonous miasma formed by Jade Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Poison can be so easily resisted. The two of them walked in tandem, silently walking through the colorful, strange and changeable poisonous miasma area. There was dead silence around, only the subtle hissing sound made by the poisonous miasma flowing.
Dugu Bo knew this area very well, and he took many twists and turns. The path he took seemed messy, but in fact he avoided some dangerous places that even he didn't want to touch easily.
Kraken followed silently, and the powerful Mental Power was like an invisible tentacle, carefully exploring the surrounding environment and recording the terrain, poisonous miasma distribution, and potential dangerous areas it passed one by one.
At the same time, the condensed Dan-Devour on his fingertips always remained in a state of being drawn but not released, like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
After walking for about half an hour, the concentration of the surrounding poisonous miasma began to gradually decrease, but the color of the land under my feet turned dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood for countless years, and some strange-shaped plants began to appear. Most of them were brightly colored, but exuded an unsettling aura.
"The front is Dragon Fall Basin." Dugu Bo's hoarse voice sounded from the front, breaking the long silence. "The poisonous miasma here will be much thinner, but there are not many other dangers. Some alien Soul Beast affected by the dragon's blood breath, as well as some weird plants, can be fatal. You must be careful."
Kraken nodded slightly in response.
Dugu Bo's plan is destined to fail.
There was no emotion in Kraken's heart, but the faint light Dan-Devour on his fingertips seemed to flicker slightly.
Dugu Bo seemed not to be aware of Kraken's hidden mental exploration. He led Kraken forward for a while and came to a relatively open area, but full of dark red rugged rocks. He stopped, turned around, and looked at Kraken. His dark green eyes looked a little strange in the dim light.
"This place is already considered the edge of Dragon Fall Basin. Further ahead, there is the core area, where the remnants of dragon power and energy turbulence are stronger, and there are also some troublesome things." Dugu Bo said slowly, his voice seemed a bit erratic in the empty stone forest, "The Land of Dragon Damage is not far ahead. But, before going there..."
"... Should Your Excellency be more honest?" Dugu Bo's voice suddenly turned cold, with a trace of unquestionable questioning, "I don't want to get involved in some kind of... huge trouble without knowing why."
The moment the words fell, the surrounding air seemed to suddenly become thicker and heavier. A faint, almost invisible dark green mist quietly filled the gaps between those dark red rocks, mixed with the originally thin poisonous miasma in the air, and silently enveloped the location of Kraken.
Dugu Bo seems to be standing casually, but the Qi around his body has been faintly locked onto Kraken. The pressure of Soul Power at the level of Titled Douluo, mixed with the unique cold aura of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Spirit Empire, slowly rises.
Kraken stood quietly on the spot, facing Dugu Bo's sudden change of attitude and the poisonous mist that quietly surrounded him. In the shadow under his hood, the two blue lights seemed to flicker slightly.
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Kraken's voice was still calm, as if he did not feel the murderous intent and poisonous mist. "Junior comes here with a token and treats me with courtesy. If you don't want to help me, just speak up, so why bother?"
"Treat each other with courtesy?" Dugu Bo sneered, a cold light flashed in his dark green eyes, "I can't stand your 'courtesy' with a weird aura! Tell me, where are you from? Sneak into Sunset Forest and get close to me, what is your plan?!"
Following his words, the surrounding dark green poisonous mist suddenly became thicker, making a faint hissing sound of corrosion, and surrounded Kraken from all directions. Wherever the poisonous mist passed, the dark red surface of Rock left subtle charred traces, showing its intense toxicity.
Faced with this sudden attack and the approaching poisonous fog, Kraken did not seem surprised, nor did he show any panic. He still stood quietly, but the gray light that had been condensed for a long time on the tip of his index finger and left hand hidden under the gray cloak shone slightly.
"Plan?" Kraken's voice came through the increasingly closer poisonous mist, with a hint of almost imperceptible and cold playfulness, "Senior is worrying too much. This junior wants what I want."
He slowly raised his Scorpion Tail buttocks, revealing the gray light on his fingertips.
"... Senior will know soon."
The moment the words fell, the bit of gray light suddenly broke away as if it had life, and turned into a thin line as thin as a hair, almost impossible to catch with the naked eye, and shot straight towards Dugu Bo's chest!
