Tang San Stole Herbs and Was Brutally Beaten
At the Shrek Academy, Wang Feng Liu Erlong studied their lessons, trained their bodies, and strengthened their physiques, enjoying a life of plenty.
When Yu Xiaogang and Ning Fengzhi started chatting, it was in the Sunset Forest, hundreds of miles away from Heaven Dou City.
After enduring many hardships and killing numerous Spirit Beast, Tang San arrived at the place where Wang Feng and Liu Erlong had met in the thatched hut.
"Phew~, we've finally arrived. According to Teacher Erlong's description and the information we gleaned from Zhu Zhuqing, this place is definitely a treasure trove of Icefire Yin Yang Well."
"Hmph! Although Wang Feng knows about Immortal Herbs, he has no idea that the most precious Immortal Herbs here is the Icefire Yin Yang Well."
As he spoke, Tang San took something out of his storage belt and swallowed it.
"The poison here might be potent for others, but to me, it's nothing but trash."
Tang San scoffed at Dugu Bo's poison and then turned and walked into the Ice and Fire Poisonous Mist.
Sure enough, after taking the prepared antidote, Dugu Bo's poisonous miasma was expelled as soon as it approached Tang San's body.
Soon after, Tang San entered the cliff and saw a wooden house on the cliff. He guessed that this should be where Wang Feng and Dugu Bo usually lived.
Without a second thought, Tang San went inside to check if there was anything worth taking. After searching around and finding nothing of value, he sighed and left the wooden house.
After searching the vicinity for a while, a scene at the foot of the cliff caught his attention. Seeing the precious light bursting forth there, Tang San thought of that possibility, and his heart clenched violently.
Without a second thought, he unleashed the Eight Spider Soul Bone behind him and swiftly ran downwards.
"This... this is exactly as I thought..."
Tang San watched the scene unfold before him, his body trembling uncontrollably with excitement.
He never imagined that he would actually witness such a magnificent scene in this world. Although he had never seen it before, he had a similar description in his memory.
Besides Hidden Weapon, the Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapons" section of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record) also contains a special chapter on poisons. It records extremely rare and precious medicines, including highly toxic ones and rare and precious herbs. At the end of this chapter, it details the three treasure basins, and the one before us is the speculated Icefire Yin Yang Well.
Taking a deep breath, Tang San felt his heart pounding violently. This was the first time he had experienced such uncontrollable excitement in this life. Even in his previous life, he had only felt it when he created the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus.
He focused his energy in his eyes, activating the Purple Demon Eyes. A crystalline purple aura condensed within his pupils, and under the full power of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, everything before him became exceptionally clear. Although the mist obscured his vision, with the help of the starlight and moonlight, Tang San was still able to see his surroundings clearly.
Upon seeing it, my initial excitement immediately waned.
"Damn it! According to records, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well must be teeming with spiritual herbs, and immortal plants are everywhere. Now, not even a single immortal plant is to be found. They must have been picked by Wang Feng, or that Title Douluo, Dugu Bo."
Tang San muttered bitterly, then looked again, and his heart sank even further.
Beside the Icefire Yin Yang Well, there should always be two top-grade immortal Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate. Now, both of these Immortal-Grade are gone, undoubtedly having been picked.
"Damn it, why didn't I find you sooner?"
Tang San was filled with resentment. If he had discovered this place earlier, he could have picked the Immortal Herbs, and the benefits he would have received afterward would have been unimaginable.
"Although there are no more Immortal-Grade, there are still quite a few spiritual herbs and poisons here. If I take them all, it will be enough for me to refine some highly poisonous defensive items."
"Never mind, instead of letting them go to waste, let's pick them all."
As he spoke, Tang San transformed into a flower-picking thief, seizing all the medicinal herbs he set his sights on. Anything that was old, whether ten years or many years old, was picked clean.
Because Wang Feng mainly picked Immortal-Grade and some top-grade spiritual herbs, this place was left with a lot of spiritual herbs and poisons.
If Wang Feng knew that so many precious medicinal herbs he had reserved had been so easily taken away by Tang San, he would probably be furious.
Soon, except for those that Tang San didn't like or weren't old enough, he had basically picked them all.
"This harvest has been so plentiful. When we get back, we can refine some highly poisonous Hidden Weapon and life-saving items, and we can also refine some spiritual medicines to temper the bodies of our teachers."
At this moment, Tang San looked at the spring water in the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
The spring water here is both extremely hot and extremely cold. If the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate hadn't been picked, he would have dared to go down there to train his body after consuming the two Immortal-Grade. But now, with his current strength, he would be killed by the two extreme spring waters in no time.
"Although we can't go down, these two springs are still a treasure. Luckily, I came prepared."
Tang San secretly praised his foresight. He pulled out two containers from his storage belt, enough to hold some extremely hot and extremely cold spring water.
He only needed to take some with him, and then when he got back, he would get some spiritual herbs, dilute them, and use them to temper his body. That was his purpose.
As Tang San carefully collected the water from the Icefire Yin Yang Well Spring, a figure appeared outside the poisonous miasma, heading straight from the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
"Level 97, damn it, how could that guy from Chrysanthemum Guan break through so quickly?"
"How did he manage to break through from level 95 to level 97 in just a few months?"
"And his strength has increased so much, damn it."
At this moment, Dugu Bo was in a sorry state, with blood still wet on his lips. He had become somewhat arrogant after breaking through to level 92. He had intended to spar with his old rival, Chrysanthemum Guan, but who knew that he would be utterly defeated by Chrysanthemum Guan as soon as he made a move. Moreover, he was utterly defeated and had no chance to fight back. He was almost beaten to a pulp.
Later, when they learned that Chrysanthemum Guan had broken through to level 97, they used the poison as cover to flee in a panic.
Chrysanthemum Guan had no intention of killing Poison Douluo and let him go. Otherwise, with Chrysanthemum Douluo's current level 97 strength, Dugu Bo wouldn't even have had a chance to escape.
The injuries Dugu Bo is currently sustaining are from being beaten by Chrysanthemum Guan.
After escaping, Dugu Bo planned to go to the Icefire Yin Yang Well to heal his injuries in seclusion, and then go back to save face after regaining his strength.
"Hmm, there are other people here!"
Knowing that Wang Feng had already left, Dugu Bo frowned as soon as he entered the room.
"A petty thief has actually broken in? I'd like to see who you are!" Upon seeing Tang San in the Icefire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo flew down.
When he saw his herb garden in such a mess, with all the medicinal herbs and poisonous plants picked clean, he was immediately filled with rage.
"You little thief, you dare touch my herb garden? You're asking for death!"
A chilling voice rang out as Dugu Bo walked step by step toward Tang San.
"Oh no, it's him, Dugu Bo!!"
When Tang San, who had just filled the Ice and Fire Yin Yang with water, saw that the person who came was Dugu Bo, he was instantly terrified.
That terrifying power was undoubtedly that of Titled Douluo.
The Titled Douluo, the master of this place, is undoubtedly Dugu Bo.
But he clearly heard that Dugu Bo was in Heaven Dou City when he came, and only a few days have passed, so how come he's here now?
Run!
Without a second thought, Tang San unleashed his Eight Spider Soul Bones and frantically ran outside.
He couldn't contend with the strength of Titled Douluo; only by escaping could he have a chance of survival.
"Huh, this is... Soul Bone!!"
Dugu Bo was surprised to see the Soul Bone on Tang San's back as he fled.
In that instant, Tang San had already run several hundred meters away, and his speed continued to increase.
For him, with his current Soul Elder strength, to clash with Titled Douluo would undoubtedly be suicide.
"You stole my herb garden, do you think you can get away with it?"
Dugu Bo was already in a bad mood after being beaten up by Chrysanthemum Douluo. When he returned to his residence, he found that his old home had been completely looted. If he could tolerate this, he wouldn't be Dugu Bo.
Boom!
Dugu Bo's Soul Power surged, and he quickly chased after Tang San.
Perhaps because of the severe injuries inflicted by Chrysanthemum Douluo, his speed was not as fast as before. Moreover, Tang San was fleeing recklessly at this moment, and for a time, they couldn't catch up.
However, Titled Douluo is still Titled Douluo. Even when injured, he is still far superior to Tang San, a mere Soul Elder.
"Run? You think you can escape?"
As soon as the voice rang out, Dugu Bo appeared behind Tang San in an instant.
"Not good!!"
Tang San was greatly alarmed upon seeing this. In a panic, he took out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow and instantly turned to shoot it at Dugu Bo.
Call out!!
Arrows streaked through the air, Dugu Bo waved his hand, his powerful Soul Power deflecting them.
"You can't escape." Dugu Bo said, and a Soul Power attack was launched at Tang San.
Upon seeing this, Tang San focused his mind, knowing there was no way to avoid it. Left with no other choice, he unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Bone-Piercing Nail, Dragon's Beard Needle, and Hidden Weapon poison, all aimed at Dugu Bo.
Whoosh!!!
Tang San thought that having so many Hidden Weapon would be enough to hold off Dugu Bo, giving him time to escape.
To Tang San's astonishment, the Hidden Weapon stopped moving in its tracks when it reached Dugu Bo.
"You have quite a few tricks up your sleeve, but your offensive power is rather weak."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo struck out with his palm.
Boom!!
The Hidden Weapon shattered, and the powerful impact struck Tang San. With a bang, Tang San was sent flying and crashed to the ground, followed by a spurt of blood.
"Boy, you actually stole herbs from my herb garden. You've got some nerve."
Dugu Bo did not rush to kill Tang San. Instead, he flashed in front of Tang San, grabbed him by the neck, lifted him up, and stared at him Lingling.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang... is a creation of heaven and earth, and its medicinal herbs are naturally grown. Medicinal herbs in this world are meant for the virtuous; how did they become your herbs?"
Although he was being held by Dugu Bo, Tang San could tell that the other party did not intend to kill him immediately. Although he was afraid, he calmed down and Lingling retorted. He wanted to buy time, even if it was just a second. As long as he had time, he still had a chance to live.
"Whoever gains it, takes it. Heh, kid, you're right. But right now, I've got you by the neck, you could die at any moment. So tell me, who is the virtuous one?"
With that, Dugu Bo flung Tang San away with a heavy thud.
With a thud, Tang San's entire waist slammed into a tree. In an instant, Tang San felt as if his kidneys were about to be destroyed.
Puff!
Another mouthful of blood spurted from Tang San's mouth.
Call out!
Just then, Tang San seized the opportunity and shot out a Silent Sleeve Arrow. Dugu Bo thought that Tang San had no power to resist and was caught off guard. Just as he was about to be hit, he was fortunate to react quickly and use his defensive Soul Skill to block it, thus escaping death.
"Hmm, Hidden Weapon, poison. What a ruthless kid."
Seeing that his shield had been corroded, Dugu Bo's face turned cold.
Boom!
One punch, a burst of Soul Power, sent Tang San crashing heavily against a tree again, blood gushing out.
With a cold face, Dugu Bo walked over step by step, ready to finish off Tang San.
Seeing this, Tang San was afraid, but with death approaching, he became even calmer and quickly thought of a solution.
But against Dugu Bo, Titled Douluo, all his attacks were ineffective.
Am I really going to die here?!
As Dugu Bo approached step by step, the intense pain in his chest and the powerful aura of Titled Douluo almost made Tang San gasp for breath.
At this moment, Dugu Bo grabbed Tang San by the neck, increasing the force in his grip.
"Forehead"
Tang San, whose neck was being choked, couldn't breathe and his body struggled and convulsed.
Bang!
Dugu Bo lifted Tang San and pressed him against the back of a tree.
Guh!!
Mouthfuls of blood gushed from Tang San's mouth, flowing freely due to the sheer volume.
Dugu Bo was no good person. Since Tang San dared to steal the medicinal herbs from his garden, he had no reason to let him off the hook.
However, he did not kill Tang San immediately.
Buzz~
A flash of light appeared on Dugu Bo's body, and a green light enveloped Tang San.
"Ah"
It is a highly toxic poison, containing a powerful corrosive force. Once it enters Tang San Tang San's body, it violently destroys his body.
Tang San is currently severely injured. He was struck by Dugu Bo earlier, and his internal organs were somewhat ruptured. Now that Dugu Bo's deadly poison has entered his body, he doesn't even have a chance to resist.
His internal organs were being corroded, and the pain from the distance made him scream madly.
"Forehead"
However, Tang San's shouts, which were being choked by Dugu Bo, turned into a death throes.
Tang San subconsciously activated his Mysterious Heaven Skill to resist the corrosive effects of the poison.
The Mysterious Heaven Skill truly lived up to its reputation as Tang San's cheat code, its effects were remarkable. His internal organs, which had been corroded by Poison Douluo, gradually began to recover.
"Huh?"
Poison Douluo was greatly intrigued to see that Tang San had somewhat neutralized his poison.
"You're actually able to resist my poison; it seems you have some tricks up your sleeve."
"Your poison... is nothing but trash in my eyes."
Tang San used all his strength to say one sentence.
This was a provocation. He knew that with the personality of Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo, being told that his prized poison was trash would surely make him fall for the provocation and temporarily let him go. This was what Tang San was thinking.
In the original novel, Dugu Bo would indeed have let Tang San go because of this, since Tang San is the protagonist in the original story. But the Dugu Bo of today is not the same Dugu Bo as in the original novel.
"Trash? Then I'll show you my trash." Dugu Bo sneered, and a bright green snake appeared in his hand.
"Nine-Jointed Jadeite!"
Tang San was terrified when he saw the snake.
Even he coveted this highly poisonous substance. However, if he were bitten by this Nine-Jointed Jadeite now, he would surely die.
"Damn it, am I really going to die here?"
"No, I can't die yet. I still have to rebuild the Tang Sect, and I still have to cherish Xiao Wu for the rest of my life."
Tang San saw the Nine-Jointed Jadeite crawling towards him and roared in resentment.
