Afterwards, Qi Ling came to the Dragon God Continent alone again. This time, he did not wander aimlessly like a headless fly to find the others' location. Instead, he spread his Spiritual Power, which gradually spread throughout the entire forest like a tide.
Qi Ling quickly located the eight people using her senses and discovered that they were indeed struggling with their trials, and the struggle was quite intense.
The trials for Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er, named Inextinguishable Flame and Eternal Solid Ice, are perfectly suited to their respective attributes.
Huo Wu summoned her Martial Soul, the Flame Fiend Flame Fiend, and commanded it to undergo training in a special kind of flame. Although Huo Wu didn't have to personally endure the scorching heat of these flames, maintaining the Flame Fiend's form was already enough for her to Huo Wu.
More importantly, this Inextinguishable Flame has a very special nature. It can extinguish even other flames, making it an extremely domineering flame. That's why fire-attribute fire Flame Fiend cannot last long within it.
As for Shui Bing'er, her situation is similar to Huo Wu's, except that she transforms herself into Ice Phoenix to undergo the test of extreme cold. Once they both pass these two tests, they will naturally gain even greater power.
Qi Ling really couldn't interfere with these two's trials, because if she offered them help, it would definitely disrupt their cultivation. The process of them passing the trials was itself the best training for them.
But at that moment, Qi Ling suddenly frowned, because he sensed that Dugu Yan's aura seemed to be rapidly weakening, as if she had encountered some kind of danger!
Without much hesitation, Qi Ling immediately headed towards Dugu Yan's direction and quickly arrived near her.
Dugu Yan was seen sitting slumped against a tree, her face ashen and pale, looking as if she had been poisoned. This greatly surprised Qi Ling.
You should know that Dugu Yan's current constitution is such that almost no poison can harm her. Even Qi Ling can't match her resistance to poison. What kind of poison could have turned her into this?
But that wasn't the most surprising thing. What surprised Qi Ling the most was that tens of thousands of snakes had gathered around Dugu Yan Dugu Yan from who-knows-where, lush and verdant, surrounding her in a truly eerie sight.
However, Qi Ling quickly realized that these snakes were not real snakes, but rather an illusory existence supported by some kind of power! But even Qi Ling couldn't figure out what this power was.
The snakes gathered around Dugu Yan, seemingly neither intending to harm her nor to protect her; they appeared to simply be waiting there, waiting for Dugu Yan to wake up or die from the venom.
The next moment, Qi Ling immediately understood what had happened: Dugu Yan had been poisoned! The tens of thousands of snakes here all had different types of venom, and each one was highly venomous!
Such venomous snakes could kill even a peerless master with just one bite! And if Qi Ling wasn't mistaken, Dugu Yan was enduring the venom of these snakes; her trial was likely to be bearing the poison of these venomous snakes!
Qi Ling didn't know exactly how many kinds of toxins Dugu Yan had taken, but there were at least a thousand. These toxins accumulated in Dugu Yan's body until they finally exceeded her tolerance limit, causing her to lose consciousness and fall into a coma.
Qi Ling emerged from the forest and slowly walked towards Dugu Yan. At that moment, tens of thousands of snakes suddenly turned their heads and looked at Qi Ling. The cold light emanating from their emotionless, cold-blooded eyes was enough to terrify anyone.
Qi Ling, however, felt nothing. Facing the tens of thousands of venomous snakes ready to devour him, he slowly uttered two words: "Get out of the way."
Then, these emotionless, cold-blooded animals seemed to suddenly know what fear was! They all parted to the sides, making way for Qi Ling, leading directly to Dugu Yan's side.
Walking through this snake-like path, with some snakes' tails right under his feet, Qi Ling was not afraid of these snakes attacking him at all, because he was confident that he could deal with them all before that happened.
Approaching Dugu Yan's side, and seeing Dugu Yan expression, Qi Ling immediately bit her finger, fed her blood, and made her drink it.
While Qi Ling's blood may not be a cure-all, it is undoubtedly a top-notch detoxifying agent. At the very least, it can suppress the toxins in Dugu Yan's body and alleviate her symptoms.
After things calmed down a bit, Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes. Seeing that it was Qi Ling, she immediately smiled and said, "That's great, darling, you're here."
"What's so good about it, you silly girl!" Qi Ling said, frowning. "You almost killed yourself, do you know that? The granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, it would be too ridiculous if you poisoned yourself to death."
Dugu Yan forced herself to stand up, wrapped her arms around Qi Ling's neck, and said, "But I know I won't die, because you're here, my dear, aren't you? I know that as long as I'm in danger, you'll definitely come."
"You're quite confident," Qi Ling said helplessly. "I just counted them here, a total of 11,001 venomous snakes! Each snake has a different venom, and if three or more are mixed, there's basically no antidote. Tell me, how many kinds did you try yourself?"
Dugu Yan said, "I... I've forgotten too, there seem to be over six thousand kinds."
"Over six thousand kinds? Do you think you're a walking pharmacy?" Qi Ling said helplessly.
Dugu Yan smiled sheepishly, "There's nothing I can do. Before, I could only withstand more than three thousand kinds of toxins, but today I reached more than five thousand! It's just that I didn't control the intensity well. More than six thousand kinds of toxins have obviously exceeded my limit."
"Really? How come your resistance to toxins has suddenly increased so much?" Qi Ling asked.
Dugu Yan then smiled and looked at Qi Ling, saying, "It's all because of you."
"Me? What did I do?" Qi Ling asked, puzzled.
"Oh dear, really, it's what you did to her the other day!" Dugu Yan whispered in Qi Ling's ear, " The Dragon Maiden said that not only is it very pleasurable, but it also has an excellent strengthening effect on one's physique! It can greatly improve our physical condition and enhance our strength!"
"Huh? Really? That kind of thing has this effect?" Qi Ling said in surprise. "Does that mean if I do it a few more times, my resistance to the toxin will be stronger? And I'll be able to pass the test?"
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Darling, although I don't know if it will actually work, I think we can give it a try! Right here, right now!"
