Chapter 24 Antidote
Chapter 24 Antidote
Xu Mingxi took off his black robe, walked out of the private room, and went towards Dugu Xin who was sitting outside waiting.
After Dugu Xin came out, he kept his eyes on the private room. When he saw Xu Mingxi show up and walk towards him, he was a little stunned for a moment.
He had seen this face before. Although four years had passed since the Soul Master Competition, he still had some impression of Xu Mingxi's face.
After all, Xu Mingxi is the only one young enough to participate in the next Soul Master Competition.
Everyone thought that he would continue studying at Canghui College and lead a team in the next Soul Master Competition to show his skills, but no one expected that Xu Mingxi would directly apply for graduation and there has been no news about him for four years.
"Senior Dugu Xin, would you please do me the honor?"
Xu Mingxi stepped aside to make room, with his palm facing up, pointing to another private room.
Of course, this private room was booked in advance. Seven people could discuss things, but they couldn't sleep in the same room. Dugu Xin would naturally not refuse a request and followed Xu Mingxi into the private room.
"Senior Dugu, please take a seat. Judging from your expression just now, you must have recognized me."
"Of course, I dare not forget the youngest contestant in the Soul Master Competition."
"Senior, you are joking. We agree to your conditions. After the matter is completed, we will give you the two thousand year soul bone."
Dugu Xin felt a little disappointed. What he wanted more was the antidote. A soul bone would be nice too, at least Qing'er's future would be easier.
But Xu Mingxi's next words made his heart rise to his throat again.
"If I'm not mistaken, Senior, you were probably poisoned by the poison produced by the Green Scale Snake itself."
Dugu Xin stood up directly, his already stiff and pale face lost all color. This was the biggest secret of the Dugu family.
"who are you."
“Let me introduce myself again, Xingguanzong, Xu Mingxi.
Senior Dugu, don't be nervous. The reason why I know this news is...
It's just that one of our ancestors once knew a Green Scaled Snake Spirit Master."
Dugu Xin suppressed his fear and sat down, but his hands still trembled uncontrollably.
He is only a level 56 Soul King now, and he arrived at Moon Lake by chance with a few friends.
That time, they were tracking a 20,000-year-old human-faced demon spider and lost their way.
Even if they reacted in time and turned back, among their group of more than a dozen people, the weakest were Soul Kings, and there were even two Soul Saints, but only three survived in the end.
Although Dugu Xin luckily survived, due to overdraft, the poison penetrated deep into his bones and most of his hair turned green overnight.
"In that case, please keep it a secret, Mr. Xu."
“That’s natural, but there are also some things recorded in the ancestor’s notes.
It seems to be related to delaying the outbreak of toxins, I wonder if you would like to know."
Dugu Xin's heart was pounding. This poison had troubled his Dugu family for too long.
If it weren't for this poison, my father would have become a Titled Douluo long ago.
He forced himself to stay calm, but his words trembled.
"Really? I wonder what Mr. Xu wants from me."
"Senior, you misunderstood. I just want to make friends with you and Senior Dugu Bo behind you."
"If it really works, you will be my Dugu family's eternal friend."
Xu Mingxi had said so much, waiting for this sentence. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Dugu Xin. "This method may need to be supplemented with certain medications, which are not recorded in the notes of our ancestors. We have to rely on Senior Dugu Bo."
Dugu Xin took the note and looked at it, his face changed immediately. Soul bone.
However, for a Contra family, soul bones of lower years can still be obtained.
At worst, they can just go on a killing spree in the Soul Beast Forest. The Dugu family is best at killing, and group killing at that.
Finally there is a solution. As for the problem of auxiliary drugs, he believes that his father, who has studied green-scaled snake venom for a lifetime, will have a solution.
"Okay, if this method works, my Dugu family will remember Mr. Xu's kindness."
Dugu Xin hurriedly said goodbye to Xu Mingxi and asked his trusted friends in the town to urgently deliver the news to Dugu Bo.
Once you enter the Star Dou Great Forest, no one can guarantee that they will be able to come out safely.
Dugu Xin was also afraid that he might accidentally die in there, so he quickly passed the news to his father first.
After this battle, Dugu Xin began to trust Xu Mingxi and the others a little more. At least he no longer had to worry about them doing something bad to him.
After a day of rest, Dugu Xin led everyone into the Star Dou Great Forest and headed towards the Moon Lake.
Dugu Bo, who was far away in Tiandou City, opened the letter that his son had sent to him at full speed.
As soon as he saw the beginning, his face changed drastically and he read ten lines at a glance.
Soon, after reading the letter, Dugu Bo slumped in his chair.
"There's hope, there's hope, Xin'er is saved."
Dugu Bo hurried to his own medicine garden and began to experiment with what kind of herbs could help resolve the toxins.
However, although there were many types of medicines in his medicine garden in Tiandou City, they were all common medicinal materials.
"No, no, no, this still won't work."
Dugu Bo selected carefully, but none of them seemed to suit his taste, so he began to think about entering the Soul Beast Forest to look for precious medicine.
Xu Mingxi didn't know that because of him, Dugu Bo entered the Sunset Forest ahead of time. A group of eight people were wearing black robes and moving rapidly in the Star Forest.
The Great Elder and two offensive elders stood in front and behind, the Second Elder and two control-type Soul Douluo elders formed a triangle, and Xu Mingxi, the Fourth Elder, and Dugu Xin were protected in the middle.
While Dugu Xin was pointing the way, he stole a glance at Xu Mingxi. Only then did he remember Xu Mingxi's self-introduction at that time, that he was from the Xingguan Sect.
From what Dugu Xin saw, the one in the front was a Titled Douluo, and the one on his side was a Soul Douluo.
As for the others, it was obvious that they were not bad either. With their strength, they were almost as strong as the top three sects. How could Dugu Xin not feel terrified?
Moreover, he already knew that this time he came out to help Xu Mingxi obtain the fifth soul ring.
What kind of force could send out such a lineup to help a disciple obtain the fifth soul ring, and what kind of talented disciple is worthy of sending out such a lineup.
Dugu Xin remembered Xu Mingxi's face back then, and then thought about the Xu Mingxi he met two days ago. He was sure that Xu Mingxi was definitely not eighteen years old back then, and he was about eighteen years old now.
For a moment, Dugu Xin didn't know whether he should be happy about finding a solution to the toxin, or happy about having such a strong supporter by his side.
"Senior Dugu, we should be there soon."
"Uh, yes, yes, we have entered the inner area. It will take another three or four days to reach Moon Lake."
Xu Mingxi's words brought Dugu Xin back to his senses. He no longer dared to look around and focused on being a guide.
