Chapter 151 Du Gubo works as a labor contractor? [Third Release] _1

It was indeed unheard of and unseen.

"That's enough, Old Poison. The poison in your body hasn't healed, and the reason you approached the Icefire Polarized Eyes is because of the toxins within you. Once you come near this place, the poison in your body will erode your body at a hundred times the normal rate,"

Ye Feng stepped out from the Icefire Polarized Eyes.

There was no need for Du Gubo to kill him.

And it was impossible for him to do so.

At the same time, he couldn't kill him either.

The reason he came here in such a rage was probably just to find a place to vent.

But Ye Feng was not one to yield to others easily.

The awe of a Titled Douluo held no sway over him.

Truth be told, even if Tang Hao were in front of him right now, Ye Feng was confident he could escape death.

As for Du Gubo, there was even less need to talk about him.

He didn't know how much worse than Tang Hao he was.

He was at most a newly-minted, just-passable Titled Douluo.

Slipping away from him was far too easy.

"What!!"

When Du Gubo heard this, he was utterly shocked.

No wonder he felt so uncomfortable coming to this place—so there was this explanation.

He had to retreat quickly.

Otherwise, if the toxins grew stronger, it would be game over for him.

"Don't panic, take these few Elixirs. After you consume them, you'll recover completely,"

Ye Feng handed four Elixirs to Du Gubo.

"Eh? You're being this generous? It's not because you're apologizing for just now, right? Fine then, as a magnanimous person, I will forgive you,"

Du Gubo's eyes lit up at the sight of the Elixirs.

In truth, his visit today was merely to catch his breath, and he didn't harbor the slightest intent to kill Ye Feng.

After all, killing such a monster would be a colossal disaster for the Dugu Family.

But befriending him could bring tremendous benefits in the future.

Moreover, if it really came down to it, it was indeed Du Gubo's fault.

After all, he tried to steal someone else's secret recipe.

Such secret recipes were normally classified and heavily guarded.

Why wouldn't they be protected?

"What are you thinking about? I feel like my days here are almost over. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to advance to level 60 tomorrow, and that will be the time for me to leave this place. So, I'm giving these Elixirs to you for discreet consumption,"

Ye Feng rolled his eyes.

He really hadn't noticed that Du Gubo was becoming more and more delusional.

"What, you're leaving? And level 60?"

Hearing this, Du Gubo looked at Ye Feng in disbelief.

He knew that cultivating in this place offered tremendous benefits.

But wasn't this kid just a bit too monstrous??

He remembered that just twenty days ago, this kid was at the Soul King level.

To be precise, he had just entered the Soul King level.

Now, barely any time had passed, and he was about to break into the Soul Emperor level.

This was just too exaggerated.

It had taken him almost four years to advance from Level 51 to level 60.

Truly a freak of nature.

"Mhmm, why would I stay here if not to leave?"

Ye Feng shrugged and said.

It was time to go out and meet those he ought to meet.

Furthermore, he knew that to have a say in this world, relying solely on oneself was not enough.

He must build a force of his own.

"Alright, I once promised I could grant you three requests. If you need my help finding Soul Rings, let me know in advance so I can arrange the time. Although Sunset Forest is vast, hunting a few soul beasts that match your needs is still something I can do with ease,"

At this moment, Du Gubo said.

"Oh, really? You could also hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for me?"

Ye Feng's eyes lit up as he looked at Du Gubo.

"Of course you can... wait a minute! What did you just say??"

Du Gubo's head snapped up like a fully wound spring, staring straight at Ye Feng.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

Ye Feng shrugged and said.

"You, you're going to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast??"

Du Gubo stared at Ye Feng with wide eyes.

His expression was that of someone looking at a lunatic.

How high was the opponent's level?

You're just a Soul Emperor, and you want to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, are you crazy, brother!!

How could you possibly absorb a soul ring from a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?

You simply can't do it, alright!

"Yeah, that's why it's going to be tough for you, Old Poison."

Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Plop!"

Du Gubo directly sat down on the ground.

This is not something humanly possible!!

"Hahaha~"

Ye Feng laughed uproariously at Du Gubo.

"You can still laugh, kid? If you're really planning to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the two of us might as well be heading to our deaths!"

Du Gubo spoke directly.

He looked utterly exhausted.

He really wanted Ye Feng to change the condition.

"Don't worry, how could I possibly ask Old Poison to do such an unimaginable task?"

Ye Feng was well aware of Du Gubo's capabilities.

A Titled Douluo simply couldn't kill a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.

To drag Du Gubo into this was akin to sending him to his death.

"Young Master Ye, you almost scared me to death!"

Du Gubo's heart had clenched when he heard those words.

But he couldn't go back on a promise he had made.

If the other party really intended to hunt a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then Du Gubo would have to muster his courage and join the venture.

"Old Poison, since you've said before that you could offer me three conditions, and you would comply with them as long as they don't violate your principles, now I'm going to state my first condition, you better remember it well."

At that moment, Ye Feng spoke to Du Gubo.

"Alright, alright, just ask. As long as it's not that kind of request you just mentioned, I can agree to it."

Du Gubo responded directly to Ye Feng.

As long as it wasn't the same kind of task as before, it shouldn't be difficult for Du Gubo!

"Very well, my first requirement is that from now on, I can come to this herb garden whenever I want. I can use everything here, and I do not allow you to bring a second person in. How does that sound?"

Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.

"Have I gone mad to bring others in here?"

Du Gubo said irritably upon hearing this.

Even his own granddaughter didn't know about this garden.

If it weren't for Ye Feng's offer to help his family's members with the effects of their Martial Souls and the need for some special Immortal Grass Elixirs, he wouldn't have brought him here.

"Very well, my second requirement is that I need your help for five years."

At that moment, Ye Feng spoke.

He had some tasks that needed Du Gubo's help.

"Help you for five years??"

Du Gubo was utterly perplexed by these words.

What did he mean?

Was he asking Du Gubo to become a bonded laborer??

"Yes, but it's actually quite easy work, it won't affect your cultivation, Old Poison."

At that moment, Ye Feng spoke sincerely to Du Gubo, but for some reason, Du Gubo felt Ye Feng looked just like a sweet-talking human trafficker.
