Chapter 74: Wonderful Chrysanthemum and Earth Dragon Gourd
It was a huge chrysanthemum, the back of the petals was gorgeous purple, and the front was golden. Every petal looked furry, and the top of the stamen shone with a faint golden glow.
Walking to the big golden chrysanthemum, Xia Liang asked, "Senior, you should know this herb, right?"
Dugu Bo seemed to remember something. In his impression, the big golden chrysanthemum in front of him not only appeared near this hot spring, but he also seemed to have seen it outside?
After carefully looking at the patterns on the flower and smelling the fragrance of the flower, Dugu Bo suddenly realized why the martial spirit of Juhuaguan was so similar to this golden chrysanthemum? Even the aura was exactly the same?
"Isn't this herb the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum?" Dugu Bo asked tentatively.
Xia Liang nodded, "Yes. Senior, the elder of the Spirit Hall, Ju Douluo's spirit was born based on this herb."
"Are you friends with Ju Douluo?" Dugu Bo asked warily.
"The Tiandou Library records some information about known Title Douluo. The book about plant spirits includes the Qirong Tongtianju spirit of Ju Douluo. I have also seen the picture of it in the book. Today I finally got to see the true appearance of this top-grade herb."
After hearing this story, Dugu Bo's doubts were dispelled.
At the same time, he also eliminated another doubt, that is, the boy in front of him could not be the one who stole the herbs.
Don't trust anyone, but Dugu Bo believes in human greed.
Since this guy named Xia Liang knew about the Qirong Tongtianju, he would definitely steal it when he came in to steal the herbs.
And it seems that there are some herbs nearby that he recognizes. If time permits, human greed will definitely drive him to steal all the herbs he knows. It is impossible for him to steal only six and run away.
What's more, he didn't run away, but instead got so close to his granddaughter.
How could there be such an open and aboveboard thief who didn't know how to live or die?
Looking at the charred clothes left on the bank of the red and blue hot spring, Dugu Bo finally felt relieved. It seemed that the person who stole the herbs was really burned to death by the red hot spring water, which was a hundred times more terrifying than magma. Even his body was burned to ashes.
It's a pity that we can't see what the hateful face of the person who stole the herbs looks like.
"Senior, what are you looking at?" Xia Liang glanced in the direction Dugu Bo was looking.
Dugu Bo sneered sarcastically, "I'm looking at a ghost. Some time ago, a fool broke into this place while I was away and stole six herbs. However, the bastard who stole the herbs must have fallen into the deadly hot spring for some reason. Now there is no trace of his body, and he has become a ghost."
"When I checked your Ruyi Baibao Bag earlier, I thought you were the one who stole the herbs."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo glanced at Xia Liang.
"Senior, I..."
Before Xia Liang could finish his words, Dugu Bo interrupted him and said, "You don't need to explain. I am not confused. I brought you into this herb garden to see your reaction. Now I am sure that you did not steal the herbs."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go and look for other herbs besides the miraculous chrysanthemum."
"Yes." After answering, Xia Liang glanced at the strange-looking chrysanthemum on the ground.
Dugu Bo knew this herb. He suppressed his greed and did not pick it so that he would have enough evidence to clear himself.
Now that Dugu Bo has personally confirmed that he is not the one who stole the herbs, he finally has nothing to worry about.
With permission, Xia Liang became bolder. After walking around the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire for a few times, he brought Dugu Bo to a plant.
Compared with the various plants around, the plant in front of Xia Liang and Dugu Bo was a little different. It was just a small golden melon the size of a fist.
Xia Liang lifted the green leaves covering the small golden melon and introduced, "This plant is called Earth Dragon Golden Melon. There is a book on plant martial spirits in the Tiandou Library. There was once a Level 96 Titled Douluo named 'Earth Dragon'. His martial spirit was the top-level earth attribute plant Earth Dragon Golden Melon."
"Senior. This Earth Dragon Douluo's martial spirit, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, is just like Chrysanthemum Douluo's Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum martial spirit. They are both top-level plants. In the plant world, they can be called immortal products. Don't underestimate this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd because it looks ordinary. It contains the blood of the dragon clan."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but find it a little funny. "What does this potato-like thing have to do with dragons?"
"The Earth Dragon Gourd is naturally related to the Earth Dragon." Xia Liang explained, "As far as I know, the Earth Dragon Gourd is a plant of earth attribute. It has the ability to turn over the Earth Dragon. After taking it, the user's control over the power of the earth will be improved."
"Is this plant good for strengthening Yanyan's flesh and blood?" Dugu Bo asked knowingly.
"I said before that I would use the soul bone as a venom sac. When Yanyan's flesh and blood are enough to isolate the snake venom in her body, I will store the venom in the soul bone. Now that we have this earth dragon golden gourd, we don't need to be so troublesome."
Xia Liang took off the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, handed it to Dugu Bo and said, "Senior, if you eat the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, you will gain the power to control the earth. Instead of using the soul bone as a poison sac, it is better to use the entire earth as a poison sac."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly stunned. Although he had not fully understood the meaning, he had already associated something with it.
After the snake venom is stored in the soul bone, it cannot be released artificially.
But if the earth is used as a venom sac, then the venom can be stored or released by controlling the power of the earth.
It is even possible to combine poison and the earth to create a poisonous swamp domain skill.
"This Earth Dragon Golden Gourd has dragon blood, so it should only be useful to soul masters with dragon martial spirits, right?"
Dugu Bo said thoughtfully, "The Green Phosphorus Snake is a snake. If Yanyan eats it, can she gain the power to control the earth that you mentioned?"
"Senior, have you heard of the peerless dragon and snake couple?" Xia Liang asked.
Dugu Bo nodded.
"The peerless dragon-snake couple, Dragon Master Meng Shu, and Snake Lady Chao Tianxiang, their snake spirits and dragon spirits can perform spirit fusion skills, which means that the dragon and snake spirits on the continent have a very close relationship."
Xia Liang said: "In theory, after Yanyan takes the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, she can not only use the earth as her own venom sac, but in the future, perhaps the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd can also promote the evolution of the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul into a new Green Phosphorus Snake King form. The evolution of the martial soul may be able to cure Yanyan's snake venom problem."
"Is there only one of these earth dragon golden pumpkins? Are there any others?" Dugu Bo looked under the green leaves and seemed to have great interest in this plant.
"Senior, do you also want the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd?" Xia Liang pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Do you also have the problem of snake venom backlash?"
Dugu Bo realized something and sneered disdainfully, "Do you think that Poison Douluo, who has been playing with poison all his life, will be bitten by his own snake venom?"
"I want the Earth Dragon Gourd because of its ability to control the earth."
"Normally, my Jade Phosphorus Snake King Poison launches an attack in the form of poisonous fog. The spread of the poisonous fog can easily attract the enemy's attention, which will cause the enemy to escape in advance or come up with a countermeasure."
"But if my Jade Phosphorus Snake King Poison can spread quickly underground, it can cover a large area silently, and by the time the enemy finds out, they will be dead."
At this point, Dugu Bo's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness, "What's more, I am not afraid of opponents who can fly, but I am afraid that they can dig holes. With the ability to control the earth given by this Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, even if the enemy escapes underground, they can't escape my pursuit."
Xia Liang was a little surprised. "Senior, no wonder people say you are cruel and ruthless. If you want to get rid of a problem, you must root it out. Since you like the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd so much, I'll give it to you."
As he said that, he threw the earth dragon golden gourd in his hand to Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo used his soul power to absorb the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd into his palm. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "No. Let's leave it to Yanyan. She needs this herb more than I do."
"In fact, the herbal medicine to solve the problem of yanyan snake venom does not necessarily have to be earth dragon gourd."
Xia Liang's eyes swept over the various plants around him, and he said regretfully, "What a pity. At present, my knowledge of herbs is too limited to identify the herbs near the hot spring one by one."
