Chapter 80 Detoxification Methods
"It seems that His Majesty Poison Douluo has admitted the fact that he was poisoned, so on this basis, it is possible for us to continue communication and negotiation.
"I once spent several years doing an experiment... Do you know a kind of soul beast called the Blue Phosphorus Snake? They are distant relatives of the Jade Phosphorus Snake."
Amon did not immediately bring up the transaction content, but instead brought up such a topic.
Of course this is a lie, but he is familiar with many theoretical books and can perfect all kinds of details to make this lie look flawless.
"Of course I know that this is a snake that is naturally non-venomous, but it can continuously swallow poisonous things to strengthen its toxicity, and eventually become a snake-like soul beast that is not inferior to the green phosphorus snake, or even surpasses it." Dugu Bo said flatly, "Why are you bringing this up?"
Dugu Bo was no stranger to the distant relative of the Blue Phosphorus Snake. He even had a soul ring that came from the Blue Phosphorus Snake.
The blue phosphorus snake's talent of swallowing poison to enhance its own toxicity is very attractive to him, a "poison" Douluo.
“I once fed a blue phosphorus snake poisonous food continuously, but of course, the toxicity never exceeded its tolerance limit each time.
"As a result, the venom of this blue phosphorus snake continued to increase, far exceeding that of similar species of the same year. Finally, it died, poisoned to death."
Amon's conclusion made Dugu Bo's pupils shrink, and he vaguely guessed a possibility.
After a moment of pause, Amon continued:
“Actually, while the blue phosphorus snake is swallowing poison, it is also being corroded by the poison.
“However, under natural conditions, most blue phosphorus snakes are unable to accumulate so much toxin that they give the illusion that they are not poisoned.
"Senior Dugubo, do you think this is very similar to someone else's situation?"
Looking at Amon's half-smiling expression, Dugu Bo could no longer remain calm, "Are you saying that I was poisoned because I accumulated too much toxicity and exceeded the upper limit of my ability to withstand it?"
Amon stroked his monocle and chuckled, "It may not be exactly the same, but it's roughly the same...
"Beast martial souls are different from weapon martial souls. They are more closely connected with the human body and have the characteristics of a 'beast'. They are 'alive' and can also be poisoned.
"And the symptoms of poisoning will be reflected on the holder... There are no people with natural green hair, green eyes, and green nails on the Douluo Continent. Your current appearance is a manifestation of the accumulation of toxins and their backlash."
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally understood the characteristics of martial spirits. He knew that what Amon said was true. He seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said:
"Wait a minute, you said green hair and green eyes are signs of toxin backlash, but Yanyan... my granddaughter, she was born like this."
He tried to retort with this example, but he was trembling inwardly, fearing the worst.
A smile appeared on Amon's face again, confirming Dugubo's most feared guess, "That means she was also poisoned and inherited the poison you were poisoned by."
Dugubo could accept his poisoning. In fact, he had already had similar speculations, but he had never been sure.
And there is a trace of self-deception, thinking that as a "poison" Douluo, who dominates the world with poison, he will not make mistakes in the field he is best at.
But he couldn't accept the fact that Dugu Yan was also poisoned. He didn't want his granddaughter to suffer the same torture that was worse than death.
Amon's ruthless words came again:
"Maybe she is not deeply poisoned, maybe she is young and the toxin has not exploded yet, but one day in the future, she will probably have your symptoms, and since she was born with it, the symptoms may be more severe."
The words "more intense" made Dugu Bo's heart twitch. He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm down his turbulent mood, and turned his gaze to Amon with a hint of hope:
"Since you mentioned this to me, then the content of the transaction must be related to this, right? Do you have a way to detoxify me?"
Amon smiled and replied: "Of course... no."
"Asshole, are you kidding me?" Dugu Bo suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum, and powerful soul power emerged from his body, forcing the surrounding air to flow outward.
Amon condensed a soul shield to resist the oncoming airflow. He said softly:
"I don't have that deep knowledge in the poison path, but I can provide an idea for detoxification. With your level of poison use, Senior Dugu, it shouldn't be a problem to find a specific and feasible detoxification method."
"Tell me, what do you want to exchange?" Dugu Bo calmed down and asked calmly.
"I want to take a medicinal herb from here. Let me tell you my thoughts first, and you can judge whether it is feasible." Amon proposed his own way of exchange.
Dugu Bo nodded, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you worried that I won't admit it? Even though the idea you mentioned is obviously feasible, I refuse to admit it because I don't have to pay for the medicinal herbs?"
Amon smiled and said: "I believe in the credibility of the seniors and the pride in the poisonous path. I will not deny my own path just because of a mere herb. What's more, I have no means to force the seniors to fulfill the deal."
"You are honest..." Dugu Bo laughed, "Then let's trade according to the method you said. You tell me your thoughts. If you can, I will allow you to take away a medicinal herb from here."
Amon would mention the Blue Phosphorus Snake in order to enhance his persuasiveness through constant truth, maximize the passive effect of the "scammer", increase Dugubo's trust in himself, and thus control the rhythm in his own hands.
Finally, the fact that Dugu Yan was also poisoned was pointed out, turning passivity into initiative, making Dugu Bo the one who wanted to trade more.
This is also because Amon doesn't have many chips in his hand. He doesn't have Tang San's method of using poison, and he only knows a feasible detoxification idea in the original work.
It is not easy to turn the idea into a practical detoxification method. His idea is to be used in exchange for a medicinal herb, which can only be said to be a bit reluctant.
Although Dugu Bo didn't know the true value of these fairy grasses, he also understood that they were definitely extraordinary.
"Thank you for your generosity..." Amon began to explain his thoughts:
"As I said just now, senior, you were poisoned because of the poisoning of the martial spirit, and it was the feedback of the martial spirit...
"If your martial spirit was a dead object like a weapon spirit, you wouldn't have such trouble.
“So we can find something that is similar to the weapon soul, closely connected with you, but different enough to carry your toxins.
"Use it to bear the toxins in your body... guide all the toxins into it."
Close enough to himself, but different enough, and strong enough... Dugu Bo thoughtfully looked at each other, and said in unison:
"Soul bone!"
