Chapter 511 Kill the rat!
Just as Tang San was so excited about discovering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that he was breathing rapidly, Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, who were each hiding on a tree branch, were also staring in horror at the distant mountain peak shrouded in thick white mist.
Sensing the terrifying fluctuations of heaven and earth energy within the dense white fog, the two were both shocked and felt their scalps tingle.
In particular, the two extreme attributes of icy cold and scorching heat contained within it made even them, as level 95 Super Douluo, feel a sense of threat.
It's no wonder that Tang Hao and Sword Douluo felt that way.
The white mist enveloping the mountain peaks originates from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, formed from the vapor rising from the icy and hot springs within.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was formed from the residual divine power of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, two god-kings, after their fall. The terrifying energy contained in the spring water within it is unimaginable.
Let alone Tang Hao and Sword Douluo, even if Qian Daoliu came, he might not be able to withstand it.
Only someone from outer space, whose previous incarnation was a supreme deity and the ruler of light and darkness, could enter without any scruples.
…………
Thick water vapor rose from the mountain valley, eventually condensing into a thick white fog at the mountain pass, which then spread out, covering the entire sky and enveloping the entire mountain peak.
At the bottom of the mountain valley, shrouded and obscured by white mist, lies a world of contrasting ice and fire, where milky white and vermilion are clearly distinct – the eye of ice and fire.
The several open areas surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye have all been cultivated into medicinal fields by Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan.
Apart from one plot that Dugu Bo used to cultivate poisonous herbs, the rest of the medicinal fields were used by Ju Douluo Yue Guan to cultivate various rare medicinal herbs.
Among them are numerous rare and precious natural materials, some even of the highest quality, and countless high-grade medicinal herbs.
These herbs were almost all cultivated from seeds, branches, stems, and other plant parts that Ye Qifeng gave to Ju Douluo Yueguan.
Some of them even originated from the roots and stems left over after the original harvest, or were transplanted from herbs that had not yet been harvested due to insufficient age.
The reason why the herbs in the medicinal field can grow so well is entirely due to Ju Douluo Yueguan's meticulous cultivation.
However, because the planting time is still short, these herbs are not very old, far less than the batch of herbs that Ye Qifeng picked back then.
However, under the rich spiritual energy of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, all the herbs grow at an astonishing rate. The same herb that grows here for one year is almost equivalent to the herb that grows outside for ten or a hundred years, and some can even grow for a thousand years.
As one of the two elders of the Papal Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan is very busy and doesn't spend much time at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye each year.
At this moment, he was in Wuhun City, more than 2,000 kilometers away, assisting Pope Bibi Dong in handling the complicated political affairs of the Wuhun Hall.
Meanwhile, staying in the valley at this moment were two other titled Douluo who had been stationed here for many years.
…………
At this moment.
On the bank where the hot and cold springs of the Yin-Yang Well meet, a tall, rugged old man with a white beard and hair sat cross-legged. He was dressed in a gold robe with silver embroidery.
It was in accordance with Ye Qifeng's request and Qian Daoliu's order that the level 98 Super Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, was stationed here.
The golden crocodile sat cross-legged on the shore at the point of equilibrium between the two extreme attributes of ice and fire, its entire body slightly suspended in the air.
Under the guidance of the meditation technique, the vast primordial energy of heaven and earth continuously converged towards him, surging into his body, and then transformed into soul power, gradually solidifying and being stored away.
The Golden Crocodile has been guarding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for several years and has been cultivating there continuously for several years.
He was already at the peak of level 98, and now he has touched the threshold of level 99 Limit Douluo, and even has one foot already in the door.
However, a crucial opportunity is still needed to achieve a breakthrough.
At his level, the increase in soul power is secondary. The most important thing for him to break through to the level 99 Limit Douluo realm is his own enlightenment.
Once one's own comprehension reaches the critical point of the Limit Douluo realm, then the breakthrough will naturally follow.
Although he still failed to break through to the Limit Douluo realm, cultivating here at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was far more beneficial than secluded cultivation in the Offering Hall.
He and the other priests secluded themselves in the temple, worshipping the Angel God together with the High Priest, all in order to hear the Angel God's divine teachings and hope to make further progress in their cultivation.
However, in recent decades, for some unknown reason, the Angel God has stopped sending divine pronouncements, and the seven high priests have naturally been unable to receive teachings from the Angel God, making it almost impossible for them to improve their strength any further.
Even if there are any, they are extremely rare.
Compared to the Hall of Offerings, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye is perfect in every way except for the inability to hear the divine teachings of the Angel God.
Not only is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth extremely rich here, but the mysterious Dao principles contained within can also deepen one's understanding of one's own realm.
Even the extreme ice and fire attributes here greatly help in tempering the physical body, which is equivalent to indirectly enhancing the ultimate power of the Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul.
After cultivating at the Yin-Yang Well for several years, the Golden Crocodile's strength was now vastly different from before. His soul power was many times more solid than when he first arrived, and his overall strength was several times greater than before.
With Jin'e's current strength, if he were to encounter Tang Hao on the battlefield of Jialing Pass, he would not be defeated by Tang Hao's Great Sumeru Hammer and Exploding Ring Secret Technique, which would allow him to challenge opponents of a higher level and break his will. He would also not be suppressed or weakened in terms of mentality and momentum.
…………
Just then, the golden crocodile suddenly opened his eyes. He seemed to sense something, and his tiger eyes flashed with golden light, as if piercing through the thick mountain, and he glanced at a certain place in the forest outside the mountain peak where giant trees stood.
He then looked away and turned to look at the other side.
On the opposite bank of the Yin-Yang Well, at the same equilibrium point where the hot and cold springs meet, three figures are sitting cross-legged: one old and two young.
The old man was dressed in a dark green robe, with green beard and hair. He sat upright, like a javelin, and his body was surrounded by a clear, green aura of soul power. He was cultivating some kind of peculiar technique.
The figures were two graceful silhouettes, or rather, two young girls.
One of the girls was dressed in a blue-green snake-scale women's outfit. The clothes clung to her delicate body, highlighting her figure. She had short, dark purple hair and a pretty oval face, making her look very heroic.
The young girl sat cross-legged beside the green-haired old man, her eyes closed, meditating and cultivating.
She was also surrounded by a green soul energy aura, but unlike others, the green aura faintly emitted a seven-colored light, making her exude a heroic and beautiful temperament, and adding a touch of eerie charm.
Sitting next to the purple-haired girl was another girl.
The girl had long, flowing blue hair that almost reached her hips. Her face was covered by a thin black veil, obscuring her true features, but the subtle outlines on the veil revealed that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
Especially her eyes, with their long, curled eyelashes, visible through the veil; even though they were tightly closed, they still conveyed a lively, expressive quality.
The blue-haired girl wore a black dress that matched the color of her veil. She was petite, but her figure was just as good as, or even better than, that of the purple-haired girl.
Unlike the green-haired old man and the purple-haired girl, whose soul power was surrounded by emerald green, the blue-haired girl's soul power was a pure white, jade-like soul light. Its aura was as holy as water, just like the girl's own temperament—serene, tranquil, and elegant.
These old man and two young women were none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who had been cultivating here for almost the past six months, his granddaughter Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan's best friend, Ye Lingling, the young master of the Ye family of Nine Heart Begonia.
Glancing at the three people opposite him who were engrossed in their cultivation, Jin'e remained silent so as not to interrupt the two little girls' practice. However, his deep voice, transmitted through his soul power, entered Dugu Bo's ears as a wisp of sound:
"Young Master Dugu, a few little mice have come in outside. Go and deal with them."
In order to avoid revealing that the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well has been taken over by the Spirit Hall, Jin E will not easily take action, so as not to attract the attention of various forces.
Therefore, the task of driving people away is usually left to Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo withdrew from his poison cultivation state, and his powerful spiritual energy burst forth, enveloping the forest surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Sure enough, he sensed a group of small mice approaching the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Moreover, the purpose seems very clear: to obtain the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.
"Yes, senior, I will go and drive them away immediately."
Dugu Bo immediately stood up and respectfully bowed to Jin E.
Although being called "kid" by Golden Crocodile Douluo felt strange, considering that Golden Crocodile Douluo was almost twice his age, even though he was already in his seventies or eighties, in the other's eyes, he seemed to be no different from a young boy.
With that thought, Dugu Bo immediately accepted the title without any qualms.
"Go."
Golden Crocodile nodded, a murderous glint flashing in his tiger eyes:
"Don't let them set foot in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. If they don't know what's good for them, kill them all."
After saying that, he immediately added a reminder:
"However, those little mice seem to be no ordinary people. They are followed by two Title Douluos. Judging from their soul power aura, their level should be similar to yours. Be careful."
There are two more Title Douluos behind me? And their soul power levels are similar to mine? Does that mean they are both level 95 Super Douluos?
Where did they come from? Could it be those two old fogies from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
If it really is those two old geezers, that's going to be tricky. One against two, I don't know if we can win.
Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of fear arose, but he quickly suppressed it.
He then thought, with Senior Golden Crocodile Douluo around, what's there to be afraid of? If he can't win, he can just summon the senior and beat them up.
"clear."
Dugu Bo bowed again.
In an instant, his figure flickered and disappeared from the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Spring.
…………
At this moment, the Shrek Academy students, filled with excitement, had arrived at the mountain peak where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was located.
However, due to the intimidation of the Poison Douluo, the group dared not rush in.
Moreover, the entire mountain peak where the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is located is surrounded by a ring of emerald green poisonous mist.
That was a poison array personally set up by Dugu Bo. Almost any living thing that touched it would die. It was designed to prevent soul beasts or other human soul masters from trespassing into it. Unless you have the strength of a Title Douluo or higher, it is impossible to force your way in.
However, with Tang San, a master of poisons, around, given enough time, it's not impossible to concoct the appropriate antidote and break the poison array.
As Tang San was extracting the poisonous mist from the poison array, intending to study a method of detoxification, a figure entirely covered in dark green suddenly emerged from the dense, emerald-green poisonous mist.
The newcomer was none other than Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who had just arrived from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Rather than saying Dugu Bo walked out, it would be more accurate to say he flew out, because his feet didn't touch the ground, his body hovered in mid-air, and each step covered ten zhang. Almost as if he had flashed, he instantly appeared in front of the Shrek Academy students.
The speed was astonishing.
Upon seeing the Poison Douluo suddenly appear before them, the students of Shrek Academy were on high alert.
Especially Flander and Zhao Wuji, who were responsible for protecting everyone's safety, broke out in a cold sweat instantly, as if recalling the scene when they were shocked by the terrifying soul power pressure that was as deep as an abyss in the hall of the Tian Dou Royal Academy's teaching committee.
Of course, except for that one useless master.
The moment he saw Dugu Bo appear, he felt no fear whatsoever; instead, his eyes widened with intense fervor.
Dugu Bo, dressed in a dark green robe, hovered in mid-air, looking down at the Shrek Academy students with a cold, snake-like gaze.
Huh, they're all old acquaintances?
Qin Ming and that kid Yu Tianheng are here too?
Oh, I remember now. Yan Yan said that those two bastards seem to have left the Royal Fighting Team and joined that damn Shrek Seven Devils Team instead.
Forget it, whatever, let's just get rid of him quickly.
"What are you all doing in my herb garden? I don't welcome anyone here. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Dugu Bo showed no politeness to the uninvited Shrek Academy students, and his words were so cold as to be devoid of any emotion.
However, although his gaze was fixed on the Shrek Academy group, his mind was focused on finding the two Title Douluos hiding in the shadows.
Before long, Dugu Bo indeed sensed the presence of two Title Douluos.
One of them had a familiar aura; it was none other than Chen Xin, the Sword Douluo, the guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whom he had seen before by Ning Fengzhi's side.
As for the other person, it didn't seem to be that old thing, Bone Douluo Gu Rong. Gu Rong's soul power aura was strange in every way.
This person's soul power was incredibly strong, carrying a fierce and domineering aura, as well as a bloodthirsty and murderous intent.
This is something that the Bone Douluo Ancient Banyan could never possess.
Where did this person come from? And he's hanging out with Sword Douluo Chen Xin. Could he be a newly recruited Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
Dugu Bo was puzzled, but before he could think about it further, his thoughts were interrupted by a rough, hoarse voice like that of a drake.
