Lei Fenfei found a hidden tree hole in the Miasma Mountains. It was a tree hole rather than a cave. The tree was lush and tall, and pitch black all over. Judging from its appearance, it was a well-growing tree with countless green vines entwined around its trunk.

When Lei Fenfei first passed by the tree, he didn't notice anything unusual, but after passing by, he suddenly felt that the vines on the tree looked familiar. After careful identification, he found that it was the melon-leaf poison vine, which was just right for him to practice magic. This kind of poison vine was rare in the country of Da Rui. Just a leaf on the vine was sold for one thousand and two taels of gold. But now, the whole tree was covered with this vine!

Lei Fenfei was breathing rapidly, and he only regretted that he didn't have a storage magic weapon and couldn't take all the vines away. He pulled off a few vines, but found... why were there still vines inside?

Where is the tree trunk?

Lei Fenfei was stunned. He continued to pull at the vines and found a gap in the tree trunk as big as a portal. The gap was covered by vines, and some green branches and leaves were growing towards the inside of the tree, while the inside of the tree trunk was hollow!

Lei Fenfei was overjoyed and felt that he was extremely lucky. He hid in the tree trunk and then used vines to cover the gap.

"This location is very safe. No one can find me. Next, I need to think about how to remove the poison from my body..."

Lei Fenfei is good at using poison and likes to mix various poisons. In the past, in order to test the characteristics of different poisons, he would feed poison to people of different ages, record the symptoms of poisoning, degree of pain and time of death of each person, and use this to judge the quality of the poison he mixed. Sometimes he would even test the poison himself.

Lei Fenfei put the poisonous insects he raised into his body and let them check all his internal organs through his blood, but did not find any toxins in his body.

Lei Fenfei touched his chin and thought, could it be that the hot tea was not poisoned?

After all, Lei Fenfei himself was familiar with hundreds of poisons, and when he drank the cup of tea, he did not feel any poison in the tea. He even felt that the aroma of the tea was refreshing, and the warm tea moistened his esophagus and appetite, making him linger.

"Could it be that... there is nothing wrong with the tea itself, and the function of tea is to get rid of the miasma for everyone, and the last few words that Hot Tea said were simply to scare us and actually do not pose any threat?" Lei Fenfei guessed in his heart.

Or maybe this poison is so powerful that even the insects can't detect it?

Lei Fenfei continued to let the poisonous insect roam in his body. At the same time, he tried to lower his breathing and heart rate, intending to hide like this for the time being.

But not long after, he suddenly heard chaotic footsteps coming from outside, as if many people were passing by.

Lei Fenfei closed his eyes and did not move. He was hiding in the poisonous vines anyway, and no one would notice him unless a war broke out nearby.

Who knew that the next second, he suddenly found that his body... was out of control!

He used his hands to push away the vines that blocked his way, and stepped out from the tree without hesitation!

Lei Fenfei opened his eyes wide in horror and saw six people standing in front of him. They were dressed in somewhat primitive clothes. These people had one thing in common, which was a green tear mark between their eyebrows.

It’s just that some tear marks are light in color, and some are dark in color.

"This sacrifice is really good at hiding. It actually hid in the tree."

"But he doesn't know that this mountain range is our territory, and the trees near the mountain range are also our property."

"This sacrifice damaged our property. Should we punish him?"

"Forget it, give him a chance to repent and reform."

Lei Fenfei listened to their conversation and realized that the six people in front of him should be the sacrificial tribe mentioned by Lei Zihe and others before!

…

…

Chu Zhuzhu was lost.

She had a bad sense of direction since she was a child. The trees in this miasma forest were all pitch black, and the black branches surrounded her from all directions, giving people a depressing and heavy feeling. Chu Zhuzhu ran and ran, and she didn't know where she was going. She couldn't tell which direction the captain and the other team members were fleeing to, and she didn't know how to get out of the miasma forest.

Besides, she was tired from running.

Chu Zhuzhu sat down on the ground with her back against a big tree.

Just then, she seemed to hear some movement not far away.

Chu Zhuzhu's eyes lit up.

When she was lost, she hoped to meet a kind person who would take her out.

Chu Zhuzhu stood up, brushed off the dust on her clothes, and trotted over.

Then, she met several members of the Compassionate Tribe.

Chu Zhuzhu was very happy and felt that she was saved.

The Compassionate people were delighted. "Here is a sacrifice that has been delivered to our door."

"Sacrifice... sacrifice?"

Chu Zhuzhu clenched the kitchen knife in her hand and said, "I'm very powerful! If you don't want to die, then just lead the way for me and get me out of this forest."

She sensed that the members of the Compassionate Tribe seemed to be just ordinary people, without any killing power, while the kitchen knife in her hand was very strange, and she felt that she was very fierce.

Several members of the Compassionate Tribe looked at each other.

One of the Compassionate people said, "Don't kill us, we are willing to lead you."

"Behave yourself. If I find out you dare to take the wrong path, I will kill you. Do you hear me?" Chu Zhuzhu threatened.

"Don't worry, we are all honest and kind."

…

…

At this moment, Lan Tiao didn't know that her teammates had been arrested one after another.

He was still trying to escape.

Lan Tiao came to the edge of the miasma forest and wanted to walk out, but found that the miasma was like a cage, trapping him inside.

Through the light green miasma, he could see outside, but he couldn't get out.

"It seems that Lei Zihe is keeping something from us and hasn't told us how to leave Ciguang Swamp." Lan Tiao's heart sank. He looked around and there was no one.

Moreover, he had no means of tracking and had no way of sensing where Lei Zihe and the others were.

Lan Tiao simply stood where she was and didn't move.

Seeing someone passing by outside, Lan Tiao waved vigorously and shouted, "Hello, can I ask you a question?"

The people outside also saw him. The two of them were so close to each other, yet they seemed as if they were separated by worlds.

The handsome man standing outside the miasma forest smiled and reassured, "You're new here, right? Don't be afraid. This is the nature of the Ciguang Swamp. Everyone who enters the swamp must stay there for a certain amount of time before they can exit."

Lan Tiao asked, "How long does [a certain period of time] refer to?"

The handsome man touched his chin and said, "Everyone's situation is different. Some people need to stay for a full day before they can leave the area covered by the miasma, while others only need to stay for a stick of incense before they can get out."

"What about me? How long do I need to stay?"
