Chapter 31 Is this how you treat guests?
Water seeps into the well from underground through the soil, so how could the water in the well be poisonous?
The answer is obvious: someone poisoned the well.
Who?
The first person that came to Lin Hao's mind was Dugu Yan, who was skilled in using poison.
"Yan Yan is right, you do have some skills!"
An aged voice came from inside the room as the door opened.
The gate to the courtyard was forcibly opened from the outside inwards.
The leader was an elderly man.
This person was tall and thin, looking like a javelin, with dark green beard and hair, and eyes that shone like emeralds.
He gave off an ethereal feeling, as if he were a phantom. You couldn't see him move a step; he walked into the courtyard from outside like a ghost.
The man was expressionless, or rather, his facial expression was completely stiff. His cheeks were sunken, his green hair was messy, and he was dressed in a simple gray robe.
His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and his eyes, like those of a venomous snake, were fixed on Lin Hao.
Behind him followed a woman, none other than Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan quickly stepped forward and explained, "Boss..."
Lin Hao blurted out, interrupting Dugu Yan, and repeated, "Boss?"
Dugu Yan explained, "Yu Tianheng is the leader of our team. You defeated him, so according to the rules, you are the leader of our Royal Fighting Team. Our Royal Fighting Team is not ranked by age, but by strength."
Regardless of whether he was a junior member or the leader of the Royal Fighting Team, Lin Hao asked with concern, "Did you poison him?"
Dugu Yan looked embarrassed and explained, "It's all a misunderstanding. My grandfather didn't mean to poison you. Last night, he heard me say that you could instantly cure my Jade Scale Serpent venom, so he wanted to test your detoxification ability."
Lin Hao remained silent, deeply displeased; this was a serious matter.
Dugu Yan said, "Actually, we have a favor to ask of you. My grandfather refined poisons in his younger days, and some poison remains in his body that is difficult to remove. It always causes him pain. I suggested that my grandfather come to you to help him detoxify!"
Lin Hao flicked his sleeves and turned his back to Dugu Bo. His face practically screamed displeasure.
Dugu Yan frowned slightly, feeling embarrassed, and said with a hint of surprise and reproach, "Yan Yan, how could you reveal even my past!"
Dugu Yan smiled slightly, "Grandpa, we're all asking for help. Tell him about your problem, and he'll be able to help you better."
Unable to control his own poison, and being harmed by it, has always been Dugu Bo's biggest secret.
Dugu Bo assumed Dugu Yan was unaware. He didn't realize that Dugu Yan had already guessed the reason when she saw Dugu Bo frequently experiencing unbearable physical pain.
Dugu Bo walked to the stone table, touched his storage soul tool with his fingers, and it flashed with light. He took out nine kinds of medicinal herbs from the storage soul tool and called out, "Boy, come here, tell me the names of these medicinal herbs and their specific effects!"
Lin Hao coldly replied, "I never agreed to treat you!"
Dugu Bo glared at Lin Hao, who was showing him no respect.
The atmosphere in the room was tense and tense.
Dugu Yan tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve and said gently, "Lin Hao, as long as you name these medicinal herbs, they're all yours!"
"Not rare."
To Dugu Yan's surprise, Lin Hao didn't even look at the nine medicinal herbs on the stone table.
Dugu Bo's eyes suddenly flashed with green light. With just a slight lift of his hand, Lin Hao's body was blasted away by an irresistible force, leaving conspicuous sliding marks on the ground before his back slammed against the wall behind him.
"Kid, if you keep giving me that attitude, even if I'm interested in your abilities, I'll kill you right now. I can wipe out everything within a kilometer radius in an instant."
"Then just kill me now. If this is how you treat your guests, I'd rather die than help you cure the poison!"
"Want to die?"
A cold light flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes. He reached out his hand towards Lin Hao from a distance, and an invisible force formed a palm, lifting Lin Hao up from the ground.
Lin Hao tried to resist, but his soul power seemed to be frozen. A pressure acted on his entire body, preventing his soul power from flowing freely through his meridians.
The strength of a Title Douluo is terrifying.
An old man and a young man, with a difference of nearly seventy levels in soul power, the former could easily decide the life or death of the latter.
The power of a Title Douluo is too great; the killing intent emanating from Dugu Bo is almost tangible.
Lin Hao remained calm and unfazed, raising his voice to shout, "Kill me! Go ahead and kill me! Without me, not only will you be harmed by your own poison, but your granddaughter will also be harmed by her own poison. It doesn't matter if I die; soon, you will all be buried with me."
"You're asking for it!"
Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The Title Douluo's strength was too great; his killing intent struck Lin Hao's chest like a tangible force. Lin Hao coughed up a mouthful of blood and slammed into the wall again.
Under Dugu Bo's pressure, the Blue Silver Grass suddenly released its power.
The external soul bone, the Wings of the Goddess of Life, stretched out from behind Lin Hao, releasing a pure life aura to protect his body.
"Huh, an external soul bone!"
Dugu Bo was very surprised.
With his strength, he didn't even need to actually come into contact with it; his body's reaction was already enough to sense the power of the Goddess of Life's Wings.
A green light instantly spread from Dugu Bo's body, attempting to penetrate the external soul bone, but it only splashed up a few emerald green ripples and could not penetrate deep into it.
"No wonder Yan Yan couldn't beat you; it turns out you have an external soul bone!"
A greedy glint appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"What a pity, it actually fused. Otherwise, you'd have given me a really great gift!"
Dugu Bo stared intently at Lin Hao, as if he were looking at a rare and precious treasure.
This is why Lin Hao, who lived in Tiandou City for five years, didn't actively seek out Dugu Bo.
This is why Lin Hao invested in Qin Ming but not in Dugu Bo.
The truly strong are too strong.
If you are not careful, you may not only fail to gain any benefits, but also lose your life.
Lin Hao tried his best to control his mental power to prevent the Blue Silver Emperor's left leg bone from being exposed under Dugu Bo's pressure.
Toughing it out isn't the solution.
Lin Hao said, "Solving the problems in your cultivation isn't actually difficult. But, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, is this how your Dugu family treats guests when you need favors?"
"grandfather……"
Dugu Yan tugged at Dugu Bo's sleeve and called out to him softly.
Dugu Bo lowered his hand, withdrew his aura and soul power, and said in a commanding tone, "Name the medicinal herbs on the stone table."
Lin Hao chuckled and said, "But I didn't promise to cure your poison!"
