Douluo's coffin Douluo

After bidding farewell to Yu Ya, Jiang Lie walked out of the house, only to see Gretel and Sonia still waiting outside the door, and hurried over.

Only then did he discover that Gretel had also hired a sedan chair, and then the three of them got into it together.

The coachman yelled, and steered the horse to set off in the direction of Soto City.

Inside the sedan chair, Jiang Li stared at Suo Ya, only to realize that her face was pale and bloodless, even the rosiness on her lips had faded a lot, and she looked very weak.

"Godmother... are you okay?"

Jiang Li wiped off Sonia's sweat, presumably Sonia was already ill, and she had used soul skills many times just now, which consumed a lot of soul power. Now it seems that it might be an internal injury.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Sonia nodded, took out a slender red bottle from the soul guide, sucked a few drops of the red viscous liquid in it, and then smiled slightly, thinking of something before saying.

"Actually, in the situation just now, if I use the eighth soul skill, Nirvana's Blood, the effect should be better. Not only can it save his life, but it should also greatly enhance his strength. It's just..."

"It's just that if you really did that, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being weak."

Gretel accepted her words, raised her eyebrows, and said seriously, "Sonia, you promised me before that you must be safe before protecting others."

"I know, I just feel a little pity."

Sonia smiled and said nothing more.

Jiang Li couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Godmother, godfather told me that you have been poisoned for 15 years. Is this poison so terrible? With your current strength, you can't even solve it by yourself?"

"It's a strange poison. It's very complicated. It's not that it can't be solved. It's that it has been integrated into my body and has become a part of me."

Sonia's words were shocking and she continued: "This poison is called a bone salamander. It has already been integrated into my limbs and bones, so now I have a symbiotic relationship with it. Unless I die or become a god, otherwise It will always be in my body? It will never go away.”

"So scary!"

Jiang Li was terrified when he heard that, "Then what are the specific symptoms of this poison?"

"It is a companion toxin. Different from parasitism, the osteophytes cannot be separated. Do they live by eating away their vitality? If the poisoned person uses soul skills or consumes a large amount of soul power, it will cause backlash."

"So its main feature is the life force that devours the human body, and recently, the outbreak period of the bones has become shorter and shorter."

Gretel's face was full of seriousness. "So, why has this always been? Why did Sonia rarely use martial arts in the academy? But the day you first entered school, she still activated the blood of Nirvana to build your physique? That day Suffering backlash? The injury was serious."

"So that's the case, but since it's a poison, even if it can't be cured, there are ways to alleviate it, right?!"

Jiang Li looked at Gretel and asked, "This poison has been lurking for 15 years. You should have worked out some strategy, right?"

Gretel was taken aback for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"You are right. Through these years of observation, I found that the stronger Sonia's strength is, the faster the time period and speed of Gu Rong's outbreak, but this is only one of Gu Rong's life stages."

"There are two situations that Gu Rong is afraid of. One is absolute extinction, and the other is the ability to release life to the greatest extent. These two extreme situations are its nemesis."

"Death is the death of the poisoned person, and it will die, but this method is not advisable, and another method is to obtain a powerful source of life energy to counter the bone."

"But, didn't you just say that Gu Rong's main purpose is to absorb life force?"

"That's right, but it also depends on the situation. It's like a balance. Balanced energy acquisition will be cycled and offset in a circle, while the absolute vitality energy is enough to overwhelm the other end of the scale, thus extremely counteract it to a large extent.”

"Oh……"

Jiang Li was stunned when he heard that, "So, godfather, do you have any specific measures?"

Gretel blinked and said.

"Of course, the way is to let a 10-year-old soul beast be sacrificed to Sonia and become her ninth soul ring."

"The sacrifice of a 10-year-old soul beast will not generate any resentment, but will also release an extremely large and pure life energy. I believe that at that moment, it will completely suppress Gu Rong."

"It's a little difficult..."

When Jiang Li heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

No wonder it's been so long, Sonia has always been at the 10th level, and she doesn't get a soul ring. It turned out that she wanted to find a [-]-year-old soul beast...

But wanting to sacrifice a 10-year-old soul beast... I'm afraid it's not feasible.

He who has read the script knows that Xiao Wu sacrificed to Tang San, but that was true love, there are few soul beasts with 10 years, and he is not a fool, so why sacrifice.

Unless coercion is used, just like Gretel used the 10-year illusion soul skill before, forcing the ten-thousand-year ghost needle grass to sacrifice to him.

"Well, godfather, to be honest, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Do you have any plans?"

Jiang Li scratched his head and asked simply.

Gretel rubbed the space between her brows, thought for a while, and then said, "I already have an idea, but... the time is not yet ripe, and I still need to wait."

"Then let's say...you found a suitable 10-year-old soul beast!" Jiang Li was startled.

Even Sonia showed a surprised expression, staring straight at Gretel, "When did this happen?"

"Okay, you don't have to worry about this, I just have a little sign, I won't act until I'm fully prepared."

As Gretel spoke, his eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Li, and he asked with deep meaning.

"Boy, if it was you, you should also want to help Sonia."

"Of course, the godmother's business is my business, but the premise is that I can help." Jiang Li shrugged with a wry smile.

After all, to deal with 10-year-old soul beasts, with his current strength, he was going to die.

"Then let it be."

Gretel couldn't help laughing.

Sonia, on the other hand, smiled relievedly listening to the conversation between their godfather and godson.

"Jiang Lie, don't call me godmother, just call me teacher wife."

"Yes, Mistress."

Jiang Li nodded, and indeed felt that it was inappropriate to call Sonia a godmother.

"Actually, speaking of it, if my child is born, it should be as old as you."

Sonia touched Jiang Lie's head, and her eyes suddenly became crystal clear.

"Ah? Could it be..." Jiang Li was startled, looked at the couple, and hesitated to speak.

Gretel nodded, "13 years ago, Sonia and I also had a child, but it died before it was born."

"Is it... because of Gu Rong?" Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat, and he thought of this naturally.

"Yes, not only that, because of the symbiotic relationship between Sonia and Gu Rong, she hasn't had children all these years."

"Your father is also a close friend with us. Now that you come to the academy, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort to us."

Jiang Li nodded, took a deep breath, and promised, "Don't worry, godfather, master wife, I will definitely do my best on this matter."

……

During the conversation between the few people, it took only half a day to arrive at the dead forest and return to the academy again.
