The green-haired old man on the mountaintop looked down and discovered that the originally dark environment was emitting an orange glow that shouldn't have been there.
Although the water vapor made it extremely difficult to discern, the green-haired old man was powerful and had extraordinary vision, allowing him to keenly capture even the slightest glimmer of light.
His face sank slightly, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
He murmured softly in the air, "Why at this time? Is it a Soul Beast? Or a person? To be able to break through the outer ring's poison array, they must be someone extraordinary."
The green-haired old man's name was Dugu Bo, a powerful Soul Douluo who had occupied this treasure land before Quan Yi.
The little snake on his shoulder, named Nine-Section Jade, was a pet raised by Dugu Bo.
It was because of its reminder that Dugu Bo endured the pain and came to investigate.
Only because everything below was crucial to Dugu Bo, and he couldn't tolerate any accidents.
But now, there was clearly some unknown life form below, and he had to resolve this accident as soon as possible.
However, it was currently the third watch of the night, the time when Dugu Bo was in his worst condition.
This made him hesitate.
After a moment, Dugu Bo's eyes became incomparably sharp: "No, the herb garden cannot be lost."
He leaped from the mountaintop and, under the influence of gravity, fell rapidly.
Passing through the water vapor, Dugu Bo saw the fire below.
However, when he saw the image of the intruder, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Fire? A ball of fire? What is this thing?
Originally planning to use speed to kill it instantly without damaging the herbs, but now, Dugu Bo couldn't directly attack.
Because he didn't see a human or beast figure, only a solitary ball of fire.
Dugu Bo's brain worked quickly.
He shouted loudly downwards.
"Hey!"
The strong sonic wave resounded through the valley, causing the mountain to tremble slightly.
Quan Yi, who was still diligently memorizing, was also shocked by this powerful sonic wave.
"Damn it, it's the Soul Douluo outside."
Looking up, Quan Yi saw a figure diving towards him like an eagle.
The killing intent and aura emanating from his body made Quan Yi's heart tremble.
"Did he run away?"
The night and water vapor greatly limited Dugu Bo's vision. To be safe, Dugu Bo released his mental power to investigate the surroundings of the hot spring.
But he failed to find anything unusual.
"That flame should be an elemental body. With such a rare ability, it's no wonder it could pass through the poison array, damn it."
After calming down, with Dugu Bo's rich experience and knowledge, he quickly grasped the essence of the flame.
In the situation just now, he didn't have the certainty of killing it with one blow, so he could only force it back with his aura.
After landing, Dugu Bo quickly checked his herb garden and found that no herbs were damaged.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
However, soon, bursts of stinging pain came from the top of Dugu Bo's head and the soles of his feet.
The pain that he had been suppressing was completely erupted at this moment.
His whole body began to spasm uncontrollably.
"Ah!"
A miserable wail rang out again.
A dignified Soul Douluo was actually writhing on the ground in pain.
One can imagine the pain he was enduring.
Dugu Bo no longer cared about his image, but in order to protect the herb garden, he had to stay here to prevent the intruder from coming again.
Meanwhile, Quan Yi, who was supposed to be running away, was hiding in the dark, silently observing Dugu Bo struggling on the ground.
"Green hair and pupils, and this strange green Soul Power. Hmm, it should be Dugu Bo, who is known for his unparalleled poison skills."
"So, this is his territory, no wonder there is a huge poisonous fog outside."
Dugu Bo's martial soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, one of the dragon species.
Although it was a rare martial soul, it still had a certain gap from the top martial souls.
However, it was this kind of martial soul that was developed to the extreme by Dugu Bo.
The reason was that Dugu Bo focused on 'poison'.
He rarely used poison as a means of control, becoming a terrifying poison control Soul Master.
Among poison-attribute Soul Masters, Dugu Bo can definitely be among the top.
However, Dugu Bo has disappeared from the Soul Master world for a long time.
I didn't expect his cultivation to have reached such a terrifying realm.
However, Dugu Bo's appearance made Quan Yi somewhat puzzled.
"Is he injured? But, he looks more like he's poisoned."
Just now, when Dugu Bo approached, Quan Yi didn't choose to escape from Dugu Bo's side, but instead, chose to integrate himself into this space, hiding his figure.
Only because there was only one exit, and a frontal breakthrough might be detected.
The vast space of fire and ice elements, although it put Quan Yi in danger, also allowed Quan Yi to find a better way to hide.
In a balanced state, Quan Yi's elemental body completely merged with the space around the spring water, even a Soul Douluo couldn't find a drop of seawater that had merged into the ocean.
Originally, Quan Yi planned to wait until Dugu Bo left before taking the opportunity to escape, but now the situation had changed.
From danger to safety, no, this was already an excellent opportunity.
Third Soul Skill, Scorching Ray.
In this excellent environment, Quan Yi's attack would not only not be detected, but would also be greatly amplified.
Although the opponent was a Soul Douluo, he was now in a defenseless state, without Soul Power, without a martial soul, relying solely on his flesh, he would definitely not be able to withstand the third Soul Skill released by Quan Yi now.
Kill!
Killing intent swirled in Quan Yi's heart.
Quan Yi knew that now might be the best opportunity to attack.
As long as Dugu Bo was killed, then Quan Yi could completely take this treasure land into his possession.
No!
I, Quan Yi, disdain to use such despicable means.
Quan Yi suddenly woke up.
He didn't consider himself a saint, but he was also not a slave to desire.
For his own benefit, he would unhesitatingly think of killing someone, and even a stranger who was unrelated to him.
Quan Yi found that unknowingly, his heart was slowly becoming cold and cruel.
If Quan Yi was a weakling, it would be understandable to have such a mentality.
But, Quan Yi was not a weakling, he was a strongling, and he would continue to become stronger.
Since he was a strongling, then he decided to choose to solve the problem in a strong way.
Quan Yi recognized the cruel reality of the Douluo Continent from the age of two.
This was a feudal society composed of an absolute class system.
Especially the gap between Soul Masters and non-Soul Masters, which made Quan Yi feel deep despair and fear.
Because, he couldn't see any channel to climb upwards.
In order to avoid this situation, Quan Yi desperately wanted to increase the chances of awakening innate Soul Power by exercising his body and ingesting Soul Beast meat.
Since the awakening of his martial soul, Quan Yi still dared not relax his vigilance, practicing desperately every day, without daring to relax in the slightest.
Not for anything else, but to keep himself from being affected by any environment.
At this moment, Quan Yi's spirit underwent some kind of transformation.
His mental power also continued to grow, and at the same time, driven by his mental power, his Soul Power condensed rapidly.
Boom.
This was the sound of the level bottleneck shattering.
Quan Yi officially broke through level fifty.
