Dugu Bo's injuries were visibly healing, a testament to the terrifying power of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.
Whether it was a lost limb or a broken foot, as long as the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone was present, it could restore you to a normal state.
"Phew~"
Zhou Sidong exhaled in relief, wiping the sweat from his brow. He chuckled, "The future young master of the Martial Soul Hall actually saved a Title Douluo, and it's even Old Poison, who's being hunted by Ghost Charm and Moon Pass. If those two found out, they'd probably be jumping up and down."
"It's different now. You saved him for a reason," Xiao Xue said.
The forest was silent at night.
Countless twinkling stars hung high in the sky. This was Zhou Sidong's first time alone outside. Although he had been in the Soul Hunting Forest once before, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Because he had Old Poison beside him, a very dangerous person.
Zhou Sidong turned the Soft Bone Rabbit roasting by the fire. The aroma of the rabbit meat immediately caused Dugu Bo, who was in a coma, to show signs of waking up, with saliva involuntarily dripping from his mouth.
"Ugh... ugh..." Dugu Bo's whole body ached. He had been severely injured by the ninth Soul Skills of both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Charm. It was fortunate that the attacks had gone awry. Dugu Bo himself had been blasted away by the aftershocks of the explosion, and he had ended up here.
"Be careful! Dugu Bo is about to wake up!" Xiao Xue warned.
"Mhm." Zhou Sidong nodded with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on Dugu Bo, who was about to regain consciousness.
"I'm... not dead yet."
Dugu Bo struggled to sit up. He looked around, and the surroundings were unfamiliar.
There were no signs of Yue Guan or Gui Mei. It seemed that this time, he had truly survived by the skin of his teeth.
"Boy? Who are you?" Dugu Bo frowned and struggled to stand up. Without any courtesy, he grabbed the Soft Bone Rabbit that was stuck by the fire and devoured it ravenously.
"Old man, you ate my Soft Bone Rabbit," Zhou Sidong said speechlessly.
"Boy! You should consider it your good fortune that I ate a bit of your food. Where is this place? And who are you?" Dugu Bo looked at Zhou Sidong warily.
"I… my name is Zhou Dong, and I'm a traveler, traveling away from home. A future Title Douluo!" Zhou Sidong grinned, revealing a harmless smile.
"You? A future Title Douluo? You're not even as tall as my thigh, and you're talking big!" Dugu Bo chuckled and then asked, "Did you save me?"
"That's right, how do you plan to repay me?" Zhou Sidong asked with a smile.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, sneering, "When did I say I would repay you? Today, considering you saved my life, I'll give you a chance to leave. Leave first thing tomorrow morning and don't let me see you again."
"Old man, you're very poisonous," Zhou Sidong knew Dugu Bo's eccentric personality; when dealing with such a person, he had to do the opposite.
"How do you know that I use poison?" Killing intent flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"You misunderstand." Zhou Sidong shook his head with a wry smile. "When I said you were 'poisonous,' I meant that you don't play by the rules. You seem like a loner, so I'd guess you don't have many friends."
Dugu Bo was speechless, as Zhou Sidong's words hit the mark.
Dugu Bo was indeed a loner. He was solitary by nature, and his life had been filled with killing. His hands were stained with blood, and because of this, everyone on the continent who knew him called him "Old Poison."
After a long silence, Dugu Bo tossed the Soft Bone Rabbit's skeleton aside.
"Kid..."
Dugu Bo sighed, "Thank you for saving me today. If it weren't for you, I would have died. A great debt doesn't need words of thanks. Tell me, how can I repay you?"
"What do you call yourself, Senior?" Zhou Sidong asked.
"I am Dugu Bo. Ever heard of me?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, who dominates the world?" Zhou Sidong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Youngster, you're in luck today. Thank you, Senior Dugu, for showing mercy."
"You..."
Dugu Bo waved his hand. "You kid, you said I don't play by the rules, but I think it's you."
Dugu Bo thought for a moment. "How about this? I'll agree to three conditions for you, as a way to repay your kindness in saving me. But before that, I must clarify that these three conditions must be within my capabilities. You know, a Title Douluo owing you a favor is like winning the lottery."
"No problem."
Zhou Sidong agreed without hesitation.
Clap clap clap!
The two clapped their hands to make a vow.
"Junior wishes to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a Soul Ring. I'd like Senior Dugu to accompany me. Is that acceptable?" Zhou Sidong stated his request.
"Hmm…"
Dugu Bo thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "This condition isn't too excessive. I accept."
"To clarify, this isn't a condition, but rather the price Dugu Senior is paying for eating the Soft Bone Rabbit dinner that this junior painstakingly roasted without permission!" Zhou Sidong stated sternly.
"Hey!" Dugu Bo was displeased. "Zhou kid! You're trying to take advantage of me!"
"I'll hunt Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, and Dugu Senior can just protect me."
Hearing Zhou Sidong's bold words, Dugu Bo couldn't help but laugh. "You? With your small arms and legs, you dare to go one-on-one with Soul Beasts? The Star Dou Great Forest is the largest Soul Beast forest on the Douluo Continent. The Soul Beasts there are at least thousands of years old, even tens of thousands of years old, and there are even rumors of hundred-thousand-year-old ones. Where do you get your courage?"
"From Dugu Senior," Zhou Sidong replied directly.
"Didn't you say you didn't want me to intervene?" Dugu Bo chuckled.
"Intervene appropriately, only when the kid's life is in danger," Zhou Sidong added.
"You aren't afraid that I might go back on my word?" Dugu Bo said with a wry smile.
"Senior Dugu, your word is your bond, as I've heard. Although you have a strange temper, you never forget what you promise," Zhou Sidong took out the only complete Soft Bone Rabbit he had hidden and started to eat it.
"I $$"
We have Bo, EMM .
Three days later, Dugu Bo's injuries had improved.
The old man and the young man officially began their journey to the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Why don't you just become my disciple? Then, I'll agree to anything you say."
During the journey, Dugu Bo learned that Zhou Sidong was nine years old (he had lied about his age), possessed Soul Power at the twentieth rank, and his Martial Soul was a top-tier beast Martial Soul, the Soul Devouring Spider. Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a fondness for him, seeing his potential.
"Senior Dugu, I already have a teacher, so please don't push it. Forcing a relationship won't work out well," Zhou Sidong advised earnestly.
He was, after all, Bibi Dong's son and Qian Daoliu's grandson.
It wouldn't be a problem to have a casual relationship with Dugu Bo, but it couldn't be too deep.
After the previous pursuit by Ghost Charm and Moon Pass, it would be nearly impossible to get Dugu Bo to join the Martial Soul Hall.
"What a pity."
Dugu Bo sighed helplessly, feeling regret that he hadn't been able to get to him first.
Forcing a melon to grow won't make it sweet.
