If it can be completely immune to, then what's the point of its Martial Soul?
Wang Xiaoming stood still, his smile widening rather than diminishing.
He deliberately sniffed, as if he had smelled something interesting.
"Hmm... this smell is somewhat like grass after rain mixed with a hint of snake odor. Senior Dugu, your poison is quite sweet."
Dugu Bo's cold smile froze on his face.
Holy crap, where did that smell of Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison come from!?
He stared at Wang Xiaoming in disbelief. The other man showed no signs of poisoning, not even a change in expression.
impossible!
Dugu Bo was secretly alarmed, but remained outwardly calm. "Boy, you've got some skill. Then take my second move!"
With a flick of his sleeve, the azure mist suddenly thickened several times over, almost condensing into liquid, like a giant azure python opening its blood-red maw to devour Wang Xiaoming.
This is a deeper application of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison— [ Poison Condensation Forming ], where the opponent not only has to face the corrosive effects of the venom, but also the power mixed within it.
While its power might not be enough against opponents of the same level, this move is quite useful against lower-level opponents!
However, Wang Xiaoming simply raised his hand slightly and waved it gently in front of him.
The seemingly ferocious, emerald-green venomous python, upon touching his body, seemed to have crashed into a wall, its thick, inky green mist scattering like an exploding water balloon.
Only then did Dugu Bo realize that Wang Xiaoming was surrounded by a circular protective shield.
Inside the protective shield, the poison gas stopped!
Behind Wang Xiaoming, the Beautiful Silk Tulip Immortal Treasure lingered quietly, releasing a subtle and refreshing aroma.
The fragrance is faint yet capable of instantly breaking down and purifying toxins; the immense Soul Power contained within can even nourish the meridians if inhaled a few more times.
Let alone poison, even if Dugu Bo were to throw out a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's gall bladder and instantly explode it, it would still obediently become a snack to accompany his drinks in the face of this divine item.
This is why Wang Xiaoming said that Dugu Bo's snake venom smelled somewhat sweet.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo seemed to have aged several years.
How come no one, except for members of their family, can harm this Jade Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul?
At this moment, Wang Xiaoming beckoned to Dugu Bo.
"Old man, you can prepare to use your third move now."
To everyone's surprise, Dugu Bo's face turned very ugly, and he waved his hand dismissively.
"No need, that move was already my strongest ability..."
Although he has a killer move, it's clearly not meant for this kind of situation.
Although his abilities are somewhat underhanded, he personally disdains doing things like breaking the bet and launching a sneak attack.
A question mark appeared above Wang Xiaoming's head.
That's it?
No wonder he's called a disgrace to Titled Douluo; his methods are far too limited.
Oh, no, he's not even Titled Douluo yet.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming strolled over and patted Dugu Bo on the shoulder.
"Don't be discouraged. Losing to me isn't shameful. After all, the poison is useless against me. In fact, it's quite respectable that you obediently abide by the bet."
How could anyone not feel discouraged after hearing what you said?
Dugu Bo's face stiffened. He took a deep breath and said resignedly.
"I'm a man of my word... So, what exactly do you want me to do? Let me make this clear first, I won't join any faction... at least not now."
"I said, were you even listening to me? I really came here to offer some warmth and comfort."
Wang Xiaoming removed the armor from Kabuto King, revealing its true form.
Dugu Bo was taken aback by what he saw.
This kid's a real talent, he's so young!
But that wasn't the point. While hooking his arm around Dugu Bo's shoulder, Wang Xiaoming took out a strangely shaped herb.
The herb emitted a purifying aura, seemingly... capable of detoxifying!
Dugu Bo's voice trembled slightly.
"This... this is!"
Seeing Dugu Bo's reaction, Wang Xiaoming smiled with satisfaction.
"This is a top-grade herb, Crystal Snow Cotton Floss; it's just one step away from reaching the level of a celestial-grade herb."
Although its detoxifying effect is not very strong, it can save your life until you die, preventing you from being eroded by snake venom so quickly.
As for your son, you can add a few more herbs, boil them together, and have you both eat them separately. You'll both live to at least seventy.
These are all things he copied directly from the "Illustrated Compendium of Immortal Herb ".
As for how to prepare the medicine... that's up to Dugu Bo to figure out.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was startled.
"Why are you doing this?"
Dugu Bo didn't understand why Wang Xiaoming would do this.
Dugu Bo knew he had few friends in the world, so how did this guy, who was no relative to him, know that he was suffering from snake venom and about his son and daughter-in-law?
These things could buy his life.
If this were a major power, they would have used this as a pretext to coerce him into joining their ranks.
Wang Xiaoming smiled mysteriously and stuffed the herbs into Dugu Bo's hand.
"I can't say too much in detail, but I can tell you that I have some connection with a woman surnamed Dugu. Out of respect for her, I'll take responsibility for saving you and your son's life."
A woman surnamed Dugu?
Dugu Bo was somewhat bewildered.
How could he not remember having brothers and sisters?
Could it be a mistake made by one's grandfather's generation?
However, one reason was enough; it gave him peace of mind.
His face felt hot.
The way she treated the person who came to offer her help just now was astonishing.
Thinking of this, he took a step back and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Xiaoming.
"Young brother, I, Dugu Bo, have no way to repay your life-saving grace. In the future, if you ever need my help, you can come to me anytime. I will do anything for you!"
In other words, his life now belongs to Wang Xiaoming.
The two then returned to the valley. Dugu Bo Wang Xiaoming to wait for him there, while Dugu Bo went to Heaven Dou City to buy medicinal herbs and then rushed back without stopping.
Wang Xiaoming had considered taking Dugu Bo to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But thinking about it, I decided against it.
In the original novel, Dugu Bo regarded that place as a medicinal herb garden, but he only discovered that planting herbs there would make them grow faster; he didn't recognize most of the herbs there.
Since that's the case, there's no need to rush. There will be plenty of time to give him the antidote later when we're researching it at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Before they knew it, it was noon the next day.
Wang Xiaoming was roasting a Snowflake Pig over the fire, it sizzled and dripped oil.
Dugu Bo kept adding medicinal herbs to a new large pot, and every now and then he would pick them up and taste them to see if they were effective.
His son and daughter-in-law had not yet gotten up. According to him, their hibernation would delay the onset of the toxin.
Wang Xiaoming only felt a little regretful that he wouldn't be able to see Dugu Yan's parents.
However, at that moment, Wang Xiaoming sensed something and looked at the decoration hanging at his waist.
The Mirror Xiaoming inside, expressionless as he taps on the glass.
