Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 527: Dugu Wu Drops the Ball

"Maybe we should go in too, now that we have the Cloud Mist Grass, we’re not afraid of that Black Fog."

Feng Luochen was full of eagerness to try.

"They say that even Yue Shan, the King of Soldiers from the Soldier Inn, couldn’t resolve the Black Fog in the jungle. The Underworld Market has even offered a hefty reward; if anyone can solve the mystery of the Black Fog, they will be given a high reward of a million. The Soldier Inn would also provide a corresponding reward."

All of this was heard by Feng Luochen and the others at the Soldier Inn the day before.

But at that time, none of them had the mindset to explore the origins of the Black Fog. After all, they were all Grade E novice mercenaries, and the Black Fog was something even the King of Soldiers couldn’t resolve; they didn’t have the courage to think about it.

But the situation is different now; they had lucked out and stumbled upon Feng San finding the Cloud Mist Grass, which meant they had a chance to unravel the mystery of the Black Fog.

Off to the side, Dongfang Yong also had his own schemes in mind.

Dugu Wu had been entrusted by the Soldier Inn to explore the mystery of the Black Fog, and so far, Dugu Wu had not found the reason. If Dongfang Yong could solve the mystery ahead of Dugu Wu, wouldn’t it mean that he was superior to Dugu Wu!

This was a great opportunity to make a name for oneself across the Ten Countries and the Mercenary World, an opportunity Dongfang Yong had been waiting for over twenty years!

"But Dugu said that the Black Fog is not that simple and told us not to meddle."

Hong Xuan was still hesitant.

"Stop with the buts. If you don’t want to go, just wait outside; the rest of us will go with Feng San. But remember, if we achieve fame and fortune from this, you won’t have a part in it."

Feng Luochen and Dongfang Yong said simultaneously, speaking in unison as if they were already partners with Feng San. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After this life-saving incident, both of them had undergone a 180-degree change in their attitude towards Feng San, and had seemingly already accepted him.

"Let’s go then."

Hong Xuan could only accompany the group toward the deeper parts of the jungle.

Before they set off, Feng Bailing looked back.

"What’s wrong?"

Hong Xuan asked, puzzled.

"Nothing."

Just a moment ago, the trees on the periphery of the Black Fog told Feng Bailing that the White Wolf had also come.

That White Wolf was also a mystery; after it arrived in Qinghe City, it only interacted with Dugu Xiaojin, and nobody else could get close to it.

But now it suddenly appeared on the outskirts of the jungle, and it was unclear what its purpose was.

However, the wolf didn’t have Cloud Mist Grass, so it couldn’t enter the Black Fog. Feng Bailing didn’t pay too much attention and entered the jungle with the others.

At this moment on the outskirts of the jungle, Dugu Xiaojin’s nose twitched.

He was puzzled; he seemed to have smelled the scent of his Queen Mother, but she should be in Qinghe City at this time. The Queen Mother said she wanted to wander around the city to buy some medicinal herbs for injuries.

As Dugu Xiaojin was wondering, he saw a group of mercenaries coming out from the front.

Not long after they left, a horse carriage came by with Elder Liu inside, covered in festering wounds, scratching himself all over.

"How outrageous, it must have been those three; they must have poisoned me. Once I rid myself of the poison, I’ll definitely go back and settle the score."

Elder Liu had wanted to take advantage of Hong Xuan but ended up being poisoned by her.

Now he was covered in painful, festering wounds.

He ordered the mercenaries to escort him back to Qinghe City immediately, but after receiving their reward, the mercenaries turned around and left, unwilling to pay attention to him.

Elder Liu could only curse and rant, wanting someone to escort him back to Qinghe City.

After watching everyone leave, Dugu Xiaojin looked toward the Black Fog ahead.

Due to the Black Fog, his sense of smell was affected, and the scents of his uncle and Aunt Hong Xuan weakened.

Fortunately, he had been all ears earlier, listening to the conversation of the mercenaries who had left. His uncle and Aunt Hong Xuan seemed to have found an antidote, so there appeared to be no danger, which finally put Dugu Xiaojin’s mind at ease.

His main purpose for coming to the jungle this time was to help his father.

Dugu Xiaojin was very smart; he had heard all the arguments between his mother and father. His father wanted to investigate the Black Fog this time, and he had been injured, needing help. If he could be of assistance, his father wouldn’t need to expend so much Wen Energy.

Yet, the Black Fog before him emitted a dangerous aura.

He circled around the Black Fog a few times and, ultimately, couldn’t restrain himself any longer and charged into it.

The Black Fog, like a beast with bared fangs and claws, swiftly engulfed him.

As Dugu Xiaojin felt the toxic effect of the Black Fog, a faint purple glow suddenly surrounded him.

This purple glow seemed to have a deterrent effect on the Black Fog; it just couldn’t penetrate through the glow.

Dugu Xiaojin felt elated; this purple light looked somewhat familiar. On that day, in the Buddhist Alms Bowl, he had seen a dragon emanating the same kind of light.

Could it be that the dragon was helping him?

Dugu Xiaojin suddenly felt his confidence surge; he no longer feared the purple light, and he felt his senses, which had been affected, returning.

His eyes lit up; he could sense his father’s presence within the Black Fog.

He hastened his steps, running towards the depths of the forest.

At this moment, inside the Qinghe City Soldier Inn, all the team leaders were closely monitoring the actions of Dugu Wu, Princess Changle, and Old Sir Nan Cheng.

Wu Wanwan was the first to become restless, softly asking Wu Zhenzhen.

"Sister, why aren’t there any movements from them?"

Two hours had passed, but none of the three showed any reaction.

Wu Zhenzhen had yet to reply when Princess Changle spoke first.

"This Black Fog is a bit troublesome. It took some effort for our consciousness to break through it, and after entering, the consumption of Wen Energy is extremely fierce. I am trying to go deeper into the jungle, as the Black Fog seems to come from deeper within."

Almost at the same time, Mr. Nan Chen also spoke.

"The Black Fog is spreading from the southwest side of the jungle."

Both Princess Changle and Mr. Nan Chen had made their judgments, while Dugu Wu had yet to speak.

He even closed his eyes, with not a single superfluous expression on his face.

Seeing that people from Daye and Beiqi had already spoken, Dongfang Yu started to become anxious.

He paced beside Dugu Wu, unable to resist asking.

"Prince Wu, have you discovered anything?"

But Dugu Wu was like a statue, sitting still without any reaction to Dongfang Yu’s words.

"It seems Prince Wu may even have trouble breaking through the Black Fog."

Xiao Junci said mockingly on the side.

"As if you could enter that Black Fog; if you can, then go ahead."

Ouyang Chenchen responded with dissatisfaction.

Afterwards, Dugu Wu remained silent, but Princess Changle intermittently learned some news from the jungle side.

Seeing that both Mr. Nan Chen and Princess Changle were directing their Wen Energy towards the depths of the jungle, and Dugu Wu remained motionless, Dongfang Yu became even more restless.

He stealthily exchanged a glance with Hua Wushuang, who understood immediately.

Dongfang Yu had previously told Hua Wushuang, if Dugu Wu fell behind among the three, she should take action after him and search the jungle.

Hua Wushuang’s Wen Energy silently moved towards the jungle.
