As a powerhouse whose title on the continent was "Poison," Dugu Bo had devoted his life to the study of poisons. He was immensely proud, convinced that no one in the world could resist his venom.
Encountering an exception like Ao Yin completely stirred up the stubbornness buried deep within him.
"Fine."
"I'll take this brat back to that place first. I have plenty of time to slowly dissect every secret on him. If I can unravel the mystery of his body, my mastery of poison will surely rise another level."
Having made up his mind, he reached out to pick up the unconscious Ao Yin and take him away.
At that critical moment, a grief-stricken roar suddenly exploded from the distant rubble.
"Ao Yin!!"
Flender, badly injured, clenched his teeth and endured the pain wracking his body. He braced himself against the ground and struggled to rise from the wreckage, his face filled with anxiety and panic.
Liu Erlong's heart tightened at once when she saw this, and she hurriedly shouted to stop him.
"Flender! Are you trying to get yourself killed?! That's a Titled Douluo!"
Confronting a Titled Douluo head-on to stop him was no different from seeking death.
Yet Flender completely ignored his injuries. His expression was frighteningly grave, and his voice brimmed with deep apprehension.
"Erlong! We absolutely cannot let the Poison Douluo take this child away! If he takes Ao Yin, every single one of us here will die!"
Liu Erlong could not help drawing in a sharp breath upon hearing those words.
She knew Flender's character well. He was steady and practical, never one to make alarmist claims without cause. The fact that Ao Yin frightened him to such an extent was enough to prove that a terrifying background beyond imagination lay behind him.
