After graduating from university, Liu Xiaoyuan, heartbroken by a breakup, accidentally obtained the "Invincible God-Level System." Inside this system are all sorts of awesome characters tha...
It seems that this favor is something that must be done, even though Liu Xiaoyuan is extremely unwilling, but there is no other way.
"There's no time to lose. I'll get the Hundred Poisons Manual for you as soon as possible. Give me the antidote," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing said, "Good, Mr. Liu, you are a straightforward person, I like it!"
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan went back to the ward to tell his father, and then called his mother to tell her that he was going on a business trip. As for Lu Siyao and the others, he told them on WeChat.
Led by Yang Jing, the two entered a deep mountain forest. In broad daylight, the forest was gloomy and they could not see very clearly.
The two struggled through the mountains, constantly wary of venomous snakes and insects, because a bite from something in such a deep forest could be fatal or crippling, as its venom was extremely potent.
The two crossed a mountain, and it was already past nine o'clock at night. After eating some dry food, they each found a big tree to rest and would set off again at dawn.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't get a good night's rest. After all, how could he rest well lying on a tree branch? Fortunately, he was at the second level of the Innate Realm, so it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for several nights.
Jumping down from the tree, Yang Jing asked with a smile, "Mr. Liu, did you sleep well last night?"
Seeing the grinning look on Yang Jing's face, Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to beat the guy up. Damn it, threatening me, once I get the antidote, I'll send you to the Western Paradise.
"I didn't get enough rest; I barely slept at night," Liu Xiaoyuan said truthfully.
After walking for about three hours along the mountain path, the two sat down and ate some dry rations. Yang Jing pointed to a mountainous area shrouded in mist not far ahead and said, "Mr. Liu, it's just ahead. See those rising clouds? That's miasma. So, there's basically no one around here, not even birds."
Liu Xiaoyuan looked in the direction Yang Jing pointed and saw that the distance ahead was indeed shrouded in mist, with towering trees below. Not a single bird could be seen in the surrounding area, indicating that the miasma was extremely toxic.
After sitting for a while, Yang Jing stood up and said, "Mr. Liu, let's go. Although it doesn't look far, it's still a long way to go. We'll be lucky if we get there by four o'clock this afternoon."
Liu Xiaoyuan and Yang Jing continued walking forward and finally arrived at the place at 4:30 pm. Standing in front of the miasma forest, they saw that the air in the miasma forest was unusually humid, and the miasma was as thick as dew. There were some poisonous insects crawling in it. Needless to say, the poison of these insects must be very strong.
If you were bitten by one of these poisonous insects, you would probably die instantly.
Yang Jing looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Mr. Liu, would you like to go in now or wait until dawn tomorrow?"
Liu Xiaoyuan just wanted to get the Hundred Poisons Scripture out as soon as possible to exchange for the antidote, so he decided to go this afternoon.
"Let's go in now!" Since he had to go in sooner or later anyway, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally chose to go in now.
Yang Jing immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is so straightforward. Alright, put on this garment."
As Yang Jing spoke, he took out a set of clothes from his backpack and gave them to Liu Xiaoyuan to wear. The clothes were like a waterproof raincoat, not breathable at all. Wearing this in the hot summer in the mountains would probably make the clothes soaked through.
“Wearing this will minimize the risk of being harmed by poisonous insects. The venom in these insects is too potent; even I cannot concoct a suitable antidote in a short time,” Yang Jing said.
If Liu Xiaoyuan dies in the miasma forest, all of Yang Jing's hard work will be in vain. Therefore, Yang Jing cannot let Liu Xiaoyuan die in the miasma forest. He must wait until Liu Xiaoyuan hands over the Hundred Poisons Manual to him before he dies!
From the moment Yang Jing threatened Liu Xiaoyuan to help him find the Hundred Poisons Manual, he had no intention of letting Liu Xiaoyuan go. He was just waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan to get the Hundred Poisons Manual before sending him to his death.
Although Yang Jing was only a master at the first level of the Innate Realm and not as skilled as Liu Xiaoyuan in martial arts, he was also a master of poison. Therefore, he didn't take Liu Xiaoyuan, a master at the second level of the Innate Realm, seriously at all.
Liu Xiaoyuan still put on the clothes and pants that Yang Jing had bought, because Yang Jing was right; wearing these clothes could effectively prevent poisonous insects.
Finally, Yang Jing also took out a gas mask for Liu Xiaoyuan to wear, and gave Xiaoyuan a pair of silicone gloves, so that Liu Xiaoyuan was fully armed.
"Mr. Liu, this is a deworming medicine. Although I can't say it's 100% effective against the poisonous insects in the miasma forest, it should still have some effect." Yang Jing took out a pill from his body and handed it to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Yang Jing continued, "After passing through this miasma forest, there is a cave. This cave is not very big, and the Hundred Poisons Scripture is hidden inside. You must search carefully."
After Yang Jing finished saying everything he needed to say, he said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Mr. Liu, I wish you every success. This way, it's good for you, good for me, and good for everyone. Go on your way!"
Upon hearing Yang Jing's words, Liu Xiaoyuan wished he could kill the man on the spot, but he had to swallow his anger for the time being and deal with him after he got his hands on the Hundred Poisons Manual and the antidote.
After fully arming himself, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately rushed into the miasma forest. As soon as he entered, he saw poisonous insects crawling around, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, which felt like walking on a soft bed.
Liu Xiaoyuan held his breath, spotted a master at the third level of the Innate Realm, and sped up, rushing forward like a gust of wind.
Liu Xiaoyuan stepped on a venomous snake hidden under the leaves. The snake immediately opened its mouth and lunged at Liu Xiaoyuan's foot. Everyone knows that venomous snakes react incredibly fast, basically in the blink of an eye. However, Liu Xiaoyuan was even faster. By the time the snake was about to bite his foot, Liu Xiaoyuan had already run more than ten meters ahead.
Running wildly, Liu Xiaoyuan just wanted to get out of this miasma forest as soon as possible, because it was too strange. Although he had a god-level invincible system and was not afraid of this miasma forest, there was always a chance of something going wrong. Therefore, leaving this miasma forest this morning was the safest option.
However, this miasma forest seemed to stretch endlessly. Liu Xiaoyuan had walked three or four miles, but still couldn't see the end, which made him somewhat anxious.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and keep rushing forward. The speed of a master at the third level of the Innate Realm was even faster than that of a cheetah. Liu Xiaoyuan quickly traversed through the miasma forest.
Because of his extremely fast running speed, Liu Xiaoyuan was already drenched in sweat. The temperature in the miasma forest was already high, and the environment inside was like a sauna, with very high humidity.
Although he was drenched in sweat and tears were streaming into his eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan dared not stop and continued running, hoping to get out of this ghostly miasma forest as soon as possible.
