Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 78: The Mysterious Old Man

Star Dou Great Forest!

This was Lu Chen’s second time coming here.

The first time he came, he was only a Spirit Scholar without any spirit ring. Relying on his innate divine force, he had managed to hunt down six plant-type Spirit Beasts, allowing himself to become a support-type Spirit Emperor.

Coming here a second time, as a quasi-Spirit Douluo with Rank 80 spirit power, he wanted to find a 100,000-year plant-type Spirit Beast to serve as his eighth spirit ring.

Lu Chen wasn’t actually sure if he could find a 100,000-year plant-type Spirit Beast.

Plant-type Spirit Beasts of this level were truly rare.

Thinking about it this way, the god-bestowed spirit ring was indeed precious.

As long as one’s body could withstand the energy impact of a 100,000-year spirit ring, a god-bestowed spirit ring could transform into a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Without needing to expend any effort to search for or hunt a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, one could obtain a 100,000-year spirit ring.

Lu Chen could only think about this in his heart, then conscientiously communicated with numerous Blue Silver Grass through his Blue Silver Domain to search for traces of a 100,000-year plant-type Spirit Beast.

One day, three days, five days, ten days, fifteen days...

Soon half a month had passed. Although Lu Chen had found quite a few plant-type Spirit Beasts, their abilities were either unsuitable, or their age was not right.

The most absurd thing was that through the numerous Blue Silver Grass, Lu Chen had even found a Demon-Eye Demon Tree with several hundred thousand years of cultivation—the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

A Vicious Beast of this level was enough to rival a super Douluo with Rank 99 spirit power; how could Lu Chen covet it?

Can’t afford to provoke it, definitely can’t afford to provoke it!

Lu Chen took Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and steered far clear of the King of Ten Thousand Demons’ territory, not daring to get too close for fear of being caught and used as fertilizer.

However, effort always has its rewards. After Lu Chen’s diligent searching, he finally discovered an unusual situation.

According to the reports from the Blue Silver Grass, a mysterious old man lived beside a lake in the Star Dou Great Forest. He wove clothing using broad tree leaves and sturdy vines.

The old man loved to fish every day, but after catching the fish, he didn’t eat them; instead, he released them back into the lake.

He only enjoyed the process of fishing.

As for food, he had always lived on wind and dew.

Furthermore, this old man possessed the ability of Earth Burrowing. Once he encountered an attack from other Spirit Beasts, he could immediately shrink into the ground.

In the descriptions of the Blue Silver Grass, this old man exuded a rich aura of life. He didn’t seem like a human, but rather like a Spirit Beast that had become sentient.

Moreover, this old man hadn’t always been in the Star Dou Great Forest. Initially, he had come from the outside, and feeling that the environment of the Star Dou Great Forest was good, he settled down there.

And this settlement had lasted for hundreds of years.

When he arrived, he was already in the appearance of an old man.

Up until now, he was still in the appearance of an old man.

Having lived for hundreds of years, this mysterious old man was certainly not a human.

Lu Chen blinked, feeling extremely excited in his heart. Based on the information he had learned, this mysterious old man was definitely a Spirit Beast.

It was just that he didn’t know what kind of Spirit Beast his true form was.

No matter what, he had to go and take a look.

And he needed to prepare in advance.

Immediately, Lu Chen looked at Dugu Bo and suddenly said:

"Big Brother Dugu, can you put poison into the ground?"

"I found a Spirit Beast, but it possesses the ability of Earth Burrowing. If we cannot prepare in advance, that Spirit Beast could burrow into the ground and escape at any time!"

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Dugu Bo immediately began to think seriously:

"A Spirit Beast possessing the ability of Earth Burrowing, such a Spirit Beast is truly rare. Putting poison into the ground is theoretically feasible. Let me try!"

As the words fell, Dugu Bo began to experiment. After a simple test, he found that as long as he wrapped the deadly poison with spirit power, he could make it spread rapidly underground.

Having received a definite answer from Dugu Bo, Lu Chen took Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to the location where the old man was.

Four hours later!

Relying on his Blue Silver Domain, Lu Chen fully concealed the aura of the three of them. Without alerting the old man, they arrived in the forest by the lake, and then he let Dugu Bo begin to poison the area.

Dugu Bo didn’t speak, just nodded, and then wrapped the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison with his spirit power and injected it into the ground beneath his feet.

And through the diffusion of his spirit power, he made the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison spread rapidly.

In just a few minutes, the soil within a radius of a thousand meters was permeated with Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison.

All the plants within this thousand-meter radius, after absorbing the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, rapidly turned yellow and withered.

Noticing such a scene, the old man sitting by the lake fishing finally realized something was wrong.

Extremely sensitive to danger, he immediately wanted to Earth Burrow and escape. With a swoosh, he darted into the ground.

However, after only three seconds, the old man darted back out from the ground. The grass vines and leaves on his body had withered and turned yellow, and even his face had taken on a greenish hue.

He had been poisoned!

The old man cursed:

"Damn it! Who is plotting against me? To actually plant deadly poison in the ground in advance."

"Knowing me so well, that’s impossible. I never appear outside easily."

This old man had never appeared in front of humans, but he had never hidden himself from the ubiquitous Blue Silver Grass either.

Running into a Spirit Master like Lu Chen, who possessed the Blue Silver Domain and could communicate with Blue Silver Grass, all his secrets were exposed.

Seeing this situation, Lu Chen’s face immediately showed joy.

Putting poison in the ground was indeed able to restrain this old man’s Earth Burrowing ability.

Lu Chen seized the opportunity to attack:

"Blue Silver Domain, All-Encompassing Forest!"

The next moment, a large number of Blue Silver Vines, under Lu Chen’s control, spread toward the old man from all directions.

After the old man was poisoned, his movements became significantly slower. Coupled with the fact that the ground was full of Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, he couldn’t Earth Burrow and escape again.

He could only watch helplessly as the Blue Silver Vines darting from all directions, like snakes and pythons, wrapped his body into a zongzi (dumpling).

After being caught, the old man was filled with disbelief:

"Blue Silver Emperor, why do you want to take action against this old man? This old man has never had any grudges with you!"

At this moment, Lu Chen walked out from the forest, looking at the old man who was tied up like a dumpling. He didn’t hesitate at all.

"Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"

Lu Chen raised his right hand, and overwhelming blue light was released from his right arm.

All the blue light gathered in his palm, and then extended to both sides, forming a three-meter-long blue spear.

He didn’t know if this old man had any other means.

Regardless, he would severely injure him first.

Lu Chen raised the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, exerted force in his hand, and threw it toward the old man’s position.

Rip!

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear tore through the air, emitting a series of sharp whistles. Like a bolt of blue lightning, in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the old man and, with a bang, pierced through the old man’s chest.

Although his chest was pierced, there was not a trace of fear on the old man’s face. He looked at Lu Chen with a dazed expression:

"You are a human? That’s impossible. How could a human awaken the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul? Could it be that you are of the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline?"

As his words fell, his figure suddenly twisted, making people feel their eyes blur, and then his figure stabilized again.

The Blue Silver Overlord Spear that had originally pierced his chest was now gone, and there wasn’t even a single wound left on his chest, as if everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Lu Chen’s eyes widened when he saw this. He stared fixedly at the old man opposite him.

He saw that there was indeed no wound on the old man’s body.

"Not right, something is wrong..."

Lu Chen suddenly discovered that a ginseng root whisker had fallen from the old man’s body.

That ginseng root whisker was broken into two pieces in the middle.

It wasn’t that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear hadn’t caused damage to this old man, but that the damage caused had been transferred away by this old man.

This old man not only possessed the ability of Earth Burrowing, but also possessed the ability to transfer damage.

What a powerful support ability!

At this time, the old man said with a proud look:

"Human, although this old man doesn’t have any offensive means, don’t even think about killing me."

"As for the bit of poison on my body, it will soon be absorbed and digested by me."

"How about you let me go, and we will mind our own business."
