Yu Nan calmly revealed the answer:
"An extremely rare plant-type soul beast."
It does not feed on sunlight or rain; instead, it grows by consuming bones containing metallic elements and underground veins of heptium ore.
"This ghost vine has been lurking under this mass grave for at least 30,000 years, absorbing the blood and bones of countless blacksmiths, and has long since mutated."
"Its poison is no longer simply corrosive or paralyzing."
"Instead, it's 'sharp'."
"Sharp?"
Dugu Yan, standing to the side, was somewhat puzzled:
"Poison? How can it be sharp?"
"Good question."
Yu Nan explained:
"Yanyan, your grandfather's Jade Phosphorus Serpent King Poison is indeed domineering, and it is said that touching it will result in death."
However, against opponents with extremely strong defenses, such as titled Douluo specializing in defense, or opponents possessing divine purification abilities, it is difficult for the toxins to instantly penetrate the body.
"But the poison of this Gengjin Ghost Vine is different."
"It contains the indestructible energy of Geng metal."
Its poisonous gas is like countless tiny, invisible nano-needles!
"Once released, it can directly pierce through the opponent's protective soul light, and even penetrate bones and armor, forcibly delivering the poison into the enemy's body!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's breathing instantly became heavy.
His eyes were fixed intently on the ground beneath his feet, as if trying to see through the strata.
As a seasoned drug user, he knew all too well what this meant!
The biggest weakness of his poison is its penetrating power!
Once you encounter someone as tough and resilient as Hu Yanzhen, the "Diamond Mammoth".
Or it could be something like the Sendo-ryu style, which possesses a natural divine purification.
His poison is often blocked from the body, greatly reducing its effectiveness.
But what if his poison gas contained elements of the "Geng Metal" element...?
Poisonous mist with built-in armor-piercing effect?!
That's a nightmare for all defensive Soul Masters!
"If we could refine the essence of this Gengjin Ghost Vine..."
Dugu Bo licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with a bright green light:
"My Azure Phosphorus Serpent King Poison will undergo a qualitative leap!"
At that time, even a Title Douluo above level 95 who dares to take my poison head-on will be severely injured!
"That's right."
Yu Nan affirmed:
"Moreover, this Gengjin Qi can temper your Martial Soul True Body, making your Serpent King Body more robust and compensating for your weakness as a control-type Soul Master with a relatively fragile physique."
"Make your move, old poisoner."
"Don't keep this treasure waiting underground for too long."
Dugu Yan still needs some time to grow.
It is also necessary to improve Dugu Bo's strength.
"Okay!"
Dugu Bo laughed loudly, no longer finding the place dirty and smelly.
boom!
Nine spirit rings instantly rose from beneath his feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
The terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo was released without reservation, instantly dispersing the surrounding Yin energy and mist.
"Rise, old man!"
Dugu Bo let out a low shout, his right hand forming a claw as he grabbed at the ground in mid-air.
The emerald green soul power transformed into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and plunged fiercely into the dark red soil!
Rumble—!
The earth trembled violently, as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.
The soil in the center of the mass grave churned, and countless bones and scrap metal were thrown into the air.
"hiss--!!!"
A sharp, piercing screech suddenly came from underground, like the scream of a vengeful ghost, making Dugu Yan's eardrums ache.
Immediately afterwards, countless pitch-black vines, their surfaces gleaming with a metallic sheen, burst forth from the earth like raging black pythons!
They lashed out at Dugu Bo's giant soul power hand, each strike producing a clanging sound of metal clashing and sparks flying!
This is not a plant.
These are clearly countless living metal whips!
"You beast! You've really got some nerve!"
Feeling the recoil from the vines, Dugu Bo was not surprised but rather pleased.
The stronger the vine, the more concentrated the Geng metal energy it contains!
"Medusa's gaze!"
A pale white light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
Two beams of petrifying light shot out instantly, striking precisely the main trunk of the frantically struggling Gengjin Ghost Vine.
Click click click...
The once rampant vines instantly stiffened, and a layer of grayish-white stone appeared on their surface.
Although the Gengjin Ghost Vine had extremely high resistance, cracks began to appear in the petrified layer after only two seconds.
But for a powerful figure like Dugu Bo, two seconds is enough!
"Get out here!"
With a roar, Dugu Bo unleashed his power, and his giant soul-powered hand lifted sharply upwards!
boom!
A bizarre plant, ten meters tall, entirely black, with skulls and broken swords hanging from its roots, was forcibly pulled from the ground!
It hovered in mid-air, exuding a chillingly sharp aura and intense corpse poison, causing the surrounding air to hiss as it was cut.
"Yanyan, step back!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Dugu Bo sent Dugu Yan a hundred meters away with a gentle surge of soul power.
Then, looking at the Gengjin Ghost Vine in front of him, his eyes flashed with fanatical light. He sat down cross-legged and the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul suddenly possessed him!
A huge, emerald-green serpent phantom appeared behind him, opening its blood-red maw and sucking fiercely at the Gengjin Ghost Vine!
"Refine!!!"
As Dugu Bo inhaled sharply, the Gengjin Ghost Vine trembled violently in mid-air, and the originally jet-black vine began to wither and disintegrate rapidly.
A visible stream of blackish-gold energy, like thousands of tiny steel needles, flowed continuously into Dugu Bo's body through the gaping maw of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's phantom.
"snort--!"
Dugu Bo let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
pain!
Excruciating pain!
The influx of this Geng metal energy into the body didn't feel like absorbing soul power; it was more like swallowing a bellyful of razor blades.
That incredibly sharp aura surged through his meridians, attempting to cut through his blood vessels and bones.
If it were in the past, Dugu Bo would probably have spat out a mouthful of blood and had to stop absorbing the nutrients.
But now, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and mobilized all his soul power to suppress this violent Geng metal energy.
And it gradually seeps into his own natal poison.
Time passed second by second.
The green light emanating from Dugu Bo grew stronger and stronger, but within that originally translucent green, like jade, a layer of unsettling dark golden luster gradually appeared.
The surrounding air seemed to be cut by some invisible force, emitting a faint "hissing" sound.
Finally, as the sun set in the west.
Boom—!!!
An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Dugu Bo's body, soaring straight into the sky!
Mass graves within a kilometer radius.
In that instant, all the withered trees, broken tombstones, and white bones were silently and imperceptibly cut into dust by the spreading poisonous fog!
That's right, it wasn't corrosion, it was shredded!
Within that dark green poisonous fog, it seemed as if countless tiny wind blades were hidden, turning everything to ash in their wake!
"call..."
Dugu Bo slowly opened his eyes.
Deep within his originally emerald green pupils, a vertical golden needle-like ray now appeared, making him appear even more eerie and dangerous.
He stood up, feeling the surging soul power within his body like a rushing river, and an unbelievable joy appeared on his face.
"Level 94..."
