Chapter 36 "Guarding the Corpse!"
"This is nothing."
After bidding farewell to Xiao Xun'er, prepare enough "Dew of Life" for a whole day.
Xiao Yan returned to his room, rearranged the empty space of the bloodsucking vine, and neatly arranged the remaining potted plants.
He then sat on the bed and began to think.
"Where to next?"
After breaking through to the Dou Zhe level, he had more options. He could leave the Xiao family to train in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, or he could travel the continent. However, he had no clear idea of what to do.
Moreover, the outside world is far less safe than staying at the Xiao family home.
With Xun'er, the young lady of the ancient clan, here, there is almost no need to worry about encountering any life-threatening dangers.
Moreover, his impression of the so-called "plot" was already somewhat vague, and it was far removed from the time of those key events, so it was inaccurate and unlikely to provide much guidance.
Going out is very likely to be a wasted trip and a waste of time.
"But, the strange fire..."
Xiao Yan paused slightly. One of the most precious things on the Dou Qi Continent, almost every top expert possessed one.
The future also revolves around different kinds of fire.
He naturally wanted it too, but...
"I haven't had a chance to add a fire attribute soul ring yet, so there's no way for me to absorb and refine one."
"The main problem is that it might not even be able to absorb it."
After breaking through to the Dou Zhe level, Xiao Yan was quite certain that his Dou Qi attribute was wood, without any other attributes mixed in.
Furthermore, even if it has fire attribute, as Yao Lao once said, even a Dou Huang level expert only has a 20% chance of absorbing it.
He had neither a teacher to guide him nor any elixirs to aid him.
Even if they obtained the strange fire, they would probably only be able to stare blankly at it, just like Queen Medusa was when she first faced the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.
"In that case, we might as well go to Douluo Continent; at least it's relatively safer!"
Xiao Yan glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.
Three months have passed, and it's getting dark. Surely that "beggar" can't stay up all night, day and night, constantly guarding me?
Xiao Yan took out a magic core and gripped the silver piece on his chest.
Immediately, a bright silver light flashed, enveloping his entire body!
……
Douluo Continent.
Holy Soul Village, behind the mountain.
The waterfall is gone, and the river has formed a small lake. The surrounding forest still looks as messy as it did three months ago, with broken branches and fallen trees everywhere.
"Isn't the beggar here?"
Xiao Yan quietly peeked out from behind a broken giant tree and looked around at the tranquil lake.
The night was deep and dark, and apart from the sounds of water and wind, there was no other noise, as if there was really no one there.
But when he glanced at the center of the lake, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Everything else was fine, but the precious 'grass' had been moved.
Otherwise, he really wanted to...
He had a deep-seated feeling that the chance to complete the task lay in that blade of grass! He longed for that grass.
"Why……"
He sighed softly.
It's impossible to go to Nottingham now, and I don't know if that "beggar" is still after the protagonist. It would be too unwise of me to go there now.
"Then let's continue, Starry Sky..."
The thought hadn't fully settled yet!
Xiao Yanxin's heart skipped a beat, and a strong warning of danger suddenly emanated from the surrounding forest! Almost at the same time!
A terrifying gust of wind suddenly came from above his head!
"Bang--!!!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and the ground where Xiao Yan stood cracked open!
A dark shadow, carrying a violent force, plummeted straight down!
Gravel, dust, and wood chips scattered everywhere.
Another shockingly large crater has appeared on the spot.
Tang Hao slowly and coldly put away his hammer, but there were no pieces of clothing or bloodstains at the bottom of the pit. His face became even more gloomy and terrifying, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, but at the same time, a trace of "reassurance" also flashed across his face.
Just as he expected, absolutely no one could escape from under his nose with ordinary agility or speed!
That kid hid in some space!
"Three months without food or water... our food supplies must be exhausted." He stared at the empty pit, his voice low and hoarse, echoing through the desolate, deathly silence of the forest.
"Kid, I'll always be waiting for you!"
"Always! Always!"
The moonlight was dim, and his figure seemed to blend completely into the night, disappearing into the dark forest once more.
However, as loud noises echoed from the back mountain of Shenghun Village, the villagers who were awakened all looked worried.
That very night, an oxcart swayed and rattled out of the village under the moonlight, heading towards Nottingham.
……
Dou Qi Continent, Wutan City, Xiao Family.
"Damn it, it's been three months, and they've actually been guarding it?!"
"Is there really such hatred over a mere piece of soul bone?"
Xiao Yan's clothes were slightly dirty, and his brows were furrowed.
Although the beggar looked like a big, simple-minded man, he was far more shrewd than he had imagined.
"The ability to disappear without a trace is not very effective against some experienced and powerful individuals."
Xiao Yan rubbed his throbbing temples.
"This is troublesome; the other party seems more human than I thought."
"Don't any enemies or anyone want to come after him for a bit? Letting him run rampant like this, what kind of behavior is this!"
"This doesn't fit the plot."
But complaints aside.
Xiao Yan forced himself to focus on the most crucial question.
The other party's behavior of "camping out and guarding corpses" is truly despicable. If we don't find a way to resolve it, it's tantamount to temporarily giving up the resources and opportunities of an entire world.
He could only cultivate in the monotonous world of Dou Qi Continent despite his genius.
This is absolutely unacceptable!
"I need to think of... how to kill you."
Xiao Yan's eyes calmed down, and his mind raced as he calculated.
Could it be poison?
If you want to defeat enemies of a higher level, using poison is the fastest way! It's also the least risky way to expose your secrets!
To quote a certain protagonist named Xiao Yan:
"I've never been a good person."
He probably wouldn't mind using poison.
"Why isn't there a Sealed Sect Powder in this world? Otherwise..."
Hmm! No, wait! There seems to be something similar...
Xiao Yan's thoughts suddenly paused. The phrase "Calamity Poison Body" flashed through his mind, but was immediately suppressed by reality.
Based on the current timeline, Little Fairy Doctor is probably only a six or seven-year-old girl, and we don't even know where she is right now.
He does possess a copy of the Seven-Colored Poison Scripture, located in the Monster Mountain Range. In the original story, that place is considered a fairly large and valuable area for gaining experience. With his current strength, cautious exploration shouldn't be a problem.
It seems that it contains a poison formula to counter a Dou Huang.
"Using poison with wood-attribute battle qi is perfect, but the risks are considerable. If it can kill the opponent, it can also kill me, perhaps even faster!"
"Moreover, drugs that can poison even a Dou Huang-level expert are naturally not cheap. At present, the most likely way to obtain resources seems to be through Xun'er."
This made Xiao Yan hesitate again.
Otherwise, collecting it yourself would take even more time!
"No, I'm a good person... using poison..."
Xiao Yan paused, "It's not meant for me, for now..."
Poison is not necessary.
How can we ambush that unethical beggar guarding the corpse?
