"You're planning to save him? I heard that Bibi Dong sent people to invite him many times before, but he was unwilling to join Spirit Hall. Now he seems to be mixed up with the Heaven Dou royal family. Why not just kill him?"
Broad Hill pointed to the ice on the ground. He wasn't optimistic about Han Li's actions to save the man, nor did he believe that Dugu Bo, who had refused to join Spirit Hall after so much persuasion and even threats, would change his mind because of this.
Dugu Bo, trapped in the ice, almost had fire in his eyes when he heard Broad Hill's words, screaming wildly in his heart, "I think we can give it a try!" But unfortunately, he couldn't move or speak at all.
"Let's try. What if he agrees? Right, Senior Poison Douluo?"
Han Li directed the second half of his sentence at Dugu Bo, who was still in the ice, trying to gauge his reaction.
Dugu Bo was nodding his head off in his mind, but from the outside, he was motionless, not even able to blink.
The only bit of strength he had left was used to try and speak, but he had overestimated himself and underestimated Broad Hill. This led to him losing his last ability to resist. He regretted it immensely. If he hadn't been so impulsive just now and had saved his strength, even blinking would have been good. Why was he in such a passive position, left to fate?
Just as despair began to creep into his heart, Han Li's voice, like the sound of nature, rang in his ears again, causing his goodwill towards this junior to skyrocket.
"Master, let's loosen the restraints on Senior Poison Douluo a little bit, not too much, just enough for him to blink or communicate. I want to talk to him."
Seeing that Han Li was still prepared to talk to Dugu Bo, Broad Hill gave up on trying to dissuade him. Whatever, let him talk. Anyway, with me here, a newly promoted Titled Douluo won't be able to cause any trouble. It won't be difficult to kill him later.
Broad Hill stretched out his hand and directly levitated the ice block into his hand. He summoned his Martial Soul, touched the ice surface, and then saw the ice near Dugu Bo's head dissipate slightly, finally allowing him to move his head.
However, although Broad Hill had created some space for Dugu Bo, two very thin ice needles remained on his brow and the top of his head. This was Broad Hill's contingency plan. If Dugu Bo showed any intention of attacking, he would die instantly.
"You better be honest, or else, hehe." Broad Hill threatened.
Dugu Bo, who had just regained the ability to move his head, instantly bristled when he heard his words.
This bastard not only ambushed him while he was asleep, stole his secluded place, but even planned to kill him to silence him. If it weren't for the insistence of the kid next to him, he wouldn't even let him speak. When has Dugu Bo ever suffered such humiliation in his life?
He wanted to burst into a torrent of abuse, but seeing the cold light in Broad Hill's eyes, he forcibly restrained himself. Compared to his own miserable state, he was more concerned about what the kid had said. If what he said was true, he would need his help later. This was the kid's Master, so he couldn't be impulsive now.
Keep calm, keep calm.
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, directly ignored Broad Hill's threatening gaze, and turned to look at Han Li.
"Was what you said just now true? You not only saw the symptoms on my body, but you also have a way to cure them?" Dugu Bo tried to control his emotions, afraid of scaring Han Li and causing Broad Hill to kill him.
"Of course, I never lie," Han Li replied with great confidence.
Broad Hill imperceptibly curled his lips, but he didn't plan to expose his disciple. He knew that Han Li had read a lot of medical and plant-related books. With that illustrated book, he could accept that he could create an antidote by following the instructions.
But relying on these things, after studying for a year, he could cure a Titled Douluo who was about to be poisoned to death by him? He really didn't believe it. He guessed that this kid had other purposes, wanting to trick Dugu Bo.
Thinking of this, he secretly added a few more ice needles behind Dugu Bo's head, preventing any accidents from happening.
At such a close distance, the other two naturally noticed his little actions, but no one cared.
For Dugu Bo, two needles were no different from ten. If Broad Hill wanted to kill him, he was dead. He just wanted to confirm whether Han Li's words were true or false.
For Han Li, he was very happy that his Master was so cautious. This meant that even if Dugu Bo went crazy and didn't want to cooperate, he could be killed immediately, minimizing the impact on both of them. If he cooperated, he could apologize to his Master later and gain some goodwill, a sure win.
"If you don't believe me, I can talk about your symptoms first. You can listen and see if they match."
After Han Li finished speaking, he said before Dugu Bo could speak again, "If I'm not mistaken, your body already has big problems. Every time it's cloudy or rainy, you'll feel a tingling itch in your ribs, and it will gradually increase, lasting for more than an hour, occurring once at noon and once at midnight. Also, every time it's late at night, around the third watch, you'll feel a stabbing pain like needles in the top of your head and the soles of your feet, causing convulsions throughout your body, lasting at least half an hour."
He had memorized it for so long, he had to use it, right? After saying it word for word, having memorized it for a long time, but seeing that the "Immortal Herb Code" which had now expired, Han Li looked at the excited Dugu Bo and the slightly open-mouthed Broad Hill, and continued, "Also, you came to this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the outbreak of toxins in your body, right? The extreme cold and extreme heat here can help you to some extent."
"Oh, right, your direct descendants should be poisoned by the Martial Soul Poison, right? What is their strength? Are they still alive? Did anyone die from the poison?" Han Li gave Dugu Bo another heavy blow at the end.
Broad Hill looked at Han Li, who was speaking so clearly, with a ghostly expression, and then looked at Dugu Bo, who was first excited, then had a glint in his eyes, and finally fell silent. He confirmed that what he said should be correct and fell into silence. He seemed to not understand this world anymore.
After Han Li finished speaking, he also closed his mouth and waited for Dugu Bo's reaction.
After a long while, Dugu Bo recovered from his grief, and a hoarse voice came, with a hint of bitterness in his tone: "You're right, all correct, including my son's death from poisoning."
Then, he looked at Han Li with anticipation: "You can really cure it, right?"
Han Li looked at him and nodded firmly.
A hint of joy flashed across Dugu Bo's face, and he said in a pleading tone: "Although I don't know what Immortal Herbs are, I know that the medicinal materials here are very precious. Since I was unlucky and accidentally bumped into you, I don't ask you to save me, you can kill me. But I have some treasures and medicinal materials in other places, I can tell you all about them. But I hope you can save my granddaughter, can you?"
"She's only fourteen years old, and the poisoning is still shallow, it shouldn't take you too much effort, look, is that okay?" Dugu Bo's voice trembled a little at the end, looking very cautious.
Broad Hill also turned his head to look at Dugu Bo. He didn't beg for mercy, nor did he mention letting him go, but hoped to use everything to exchange for Han Li to treat his granddaughter, which was beyond his expectations.
The scene fell silent, and suddenly, Han Li laughed.
"Senior, do you want to die that much? I didn't say I couldn't save you, and Master didn't kill you either. Why don't you think about it again?"
Having said that, Han Li used his antennae to transmit a message to Broad Hill. Broad Hill frowned, glanced at Dugu Bo again, but reluctantly touched the ice with his bow, releasing him from within.
"Seeing as you're still a decent man, I'll let you out. But let's make this clear, don't even think about playing any tricks. This place now belongs to my Master and me. You have to keep your mouth shut, or else, hehe. You heard it too, Little Li doesn't want to kill you, and even wants to save you, oh, and your Granddaughter. You better think carefully about what you're going to offer as a reward, and it has to satisfy me, otherwise, you might as well just die."
Dugu Bo didn't expect to be released just like that, and that he wouldn't have to die. With such a roller coaster of emotions, he was stunned in place for a moment.
