Chapter 79: Fourth Soul Skill—Plucking Stars and Taking the Moon!
Meanwhile, Divine Realm Prison.
Dragon Tomb.
Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing, accompanied by the two great Dragon Kings, were collecting True Dragon soul bones.
Just now, Zhou Chen had come to an agreement with the two Dragon Kings. He could take away sixty soul bones, but he had to do a major thing for the Dragon Kings.
This matter was too significant; he couldn't do it now. He could only wait until he was strong enough in the future to make another trip to the Dragon Tomb.
"Kid, this is already the sixtieth soul bone."
In midair, the Fire Dragon King said coldly.
"Understood."
Zhou Chen nodded and handed the torso bone of a Radiant Holy Dragon to Zhu Zhuqing, letting her store it in her own spatial soul tool.
All the soul bones he chose came from god-level True Dragons above level 100, and they were all top-tier dragon species, such as Space Dragons, Emerald Dragons, Darkness Dragons, etc... He simply looked down on the soul bones of those ordinary Titled Douluo-level True Dragons.
As for why Zhou Chen didn't store these soul bones himself... it was because he had no more space.
Currently, he had three spatial soul tools: the spatial bracelet seized from Zhu Zhuyun, the spatial necklace gifted by Hu Liena, and the spatial ring exploded from the Blood Infant Douluo.
Earlier, with the cooperation of the Dragon Kings, Zhou Chen shoveled out those 50 tons of Divine Crystals, which had already filled all three spatial soul tools.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was also a hidden little rich lady who also possessed a spatial jade pendant. Only then could they store these sixty soul bones.
"Alright, Divine Crystals, soul bones, Blood Qi Soul Rings—we have given all three of these treasures. Remember what you just promised me. The hope of our dragon race rests on you; do not break your promise."
The Water Dragon King stared at Zhou Chen with a pair of golden pupils, speaking full of hope.
"Rest assured."
Zhou Chen nodded and responded with a serious expression.
Having taken so many benefits without suffering any loss himself, this trip to the Dragon Tomb was perfectly successful.
As for the matter promised to the two Dragon Kings, as long as he had the ability, he would definitely help.
As for the grudges from the fierce battle between the two sides earlier...
It wasn't that Zhou Chen didn't hold grudges; it was truly because the dragon race gave too many benefits. He was a man of integrity, so how could he be embarrassed to hold a grudge anymore?
"Good, then you may leave. We also need to return to our slumber."
The Water Dragon King waved her dragon claw with a desolate expression, gesturing.
"Then we shall meet again."
Zhou Chen nodded, wrapped his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's slender waist, stepped onto the Xuanyuan Sword, and instantly turned into a streak of golden light, quickly disappearing from the sight of the dragon souls...
Sun Moon Mountain, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Within that hot spring pool, distinct red and blue like a Taiji diagram, bubbling bubbles suddenly rose!
"Splash!"
Accompanied by the explosion of the pool water, a golden light suddenly shot up from the current, then slowly landed on the valley floor.
The golden light dissipated, revealing Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
It was already night, and most parts of the valley were quite dark, almost pitch black.
Only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself, as well as the spirit flowers and spirit grasses in the center of the valley, were still emitting gorgeous and colorful faint lights.
Looking at these extremely beautiful flowers and grasses emitting faint lights, Zhou Chen suddenly remembered that in the original plot, Tang San seemed to have picked quite a few immortal herbs here, allowing the Shrek Seven Devils to advance collectively and even producing martial soul mutations.
For example, Ning Rongrong took a "Beautiful Silk Tulip," and her martial soul evolved directly from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which was hard to encounter in ten thousand years.
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, took the "Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone" which was most suitable for her. Her soul power instantly increased by seven ranks, and she also became more beautiful.
But Zhou Chen didn't recognize these immortal herbs; otherwise, he would find the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone right now and give it to Zhu Zhuqing.
However, although Zhou Chen didn't recognize them, the tool man Tang San did!
Zhou Chen only needed to pick all the immortal herbs here once, store them properly in his spatial soul tool, and then take them back for Tang San to distinguish.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen was just about to start picking these medicinal herbs. However, at this moment, he felt something was wrong.
The "Earth Listening" technique told him that there were three heartbeats in the valley.
But clearly, there were only him and Zhu Zhuqing here!
Feeling that something was very wrong, Zhou Chen immediately looked toward the location of the third heartbeat.
He saw pitch darkness there, with only two green points flashing a sinister light in the dark.
"Heaven Vision" technique, activate!
Instantly, Zhou Chen clearly saw the other party hiding in the dark corner of the valley.
This was an old man who was green all over.
His hair and beard were green, his eyes were green, and his armor was also green.
The two green points of light Zhou Chen saw just now were this person's eyes.
Seeing the appearance of the person before him, Zhou Chen immediately guessed his identity.
In the original plot, the first owner of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
At this time, sensing Zhou Chen's strange behavior, Zhu Zhuqing beside him also looked toward the corner where Dugu Bo was hiding, her eyes turning completely black!
First Soul Skill—Shadow Divine Eye.
This soul skill could see through the vast majority of illusions; mere darkness was naturally not a problem.
With the two of them looking over so blatantly, Dugu Bo, hiding in the dark, naturally knew that he had been discovered.
"Mere two little dolls can actually discover this old man. No wonder you dare to sneak into this old man's medicine garden."
A hoarse voice rang out, and Dugu Bo walked out from the dark. With his hands behind his back, he was like a soaring spear, imposing in manner, with the demeanor of an expert.
It was just that at this moment, Dugu Bo's pair of dark green eyes were cold and evil, like a venomous snake.
That look told Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing that today, it seemed they would have to fight another round.
Dugu Bo, whose character was already indifferent and withdrawn, had never possessed the magnanimity of a Titled Douluo. In the original plot, his actions were extremely arbitrary; he would attack whenever he said so.
And at this moment, Zhou Chen sneaking into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which he regarded as a life-saving place, caused a trace of killing intent to arise in Dugu Bo's heart.
However, when Dugu Bo saw that the intruders were actually a pair of teenagers, and it was precisely that sword-flying youth from the daytime, he barely suppressed the urge to kill the two directly. Instead, he planned to capture them first, ask clearly about their background and why they came here, and then consider whether to kill them or not.
Moreover, to be honest, Dugu Bo was also quite curious about the fact that these two children actually came out from that extremely cold and hot red and blue water pool that even he didn't dare to go down into.
Once he caught them, he definitely had to force out the secret within.
Thinking like this, green light suddenly shone brightly in Dugu Bo's eyes. Raising his hand slightly, a majestic soul power grabbed toward Zhou Chen and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Fuck, a sneak attack?"
As soon as Dugu Bo made a move, Zhou Chen immediately noticed it. holding Zhu Zhuqing, he dodged away, causing Dugu Bo to involuntarily let out an "Eh."
At this time, the sneak-attacked Zhou Chen was already furious.
Originally, he wanted to solve the problem through negotiation, but since this old fellow was so ungrateful, he could only resort to violence!
Zhou Chen sneered, and four golden soul rings instantly rose beneath his feet.
Then, he also extended his hand and clenched it fiercely toward Dugu Bo!
