Although everyone was skeptical about the efficacy of the pill Dongfang Mian had given them, they seemed to have no better option than to follow Dongfang Mian's instructions. One by one, they took the pill and carefully hid it away.
Dongfang Mian led Yan Lin and the others towards the direction of the Poison Mother, while behind them, the poison masters whispered among themselves.
"Hey, who's that guy next to the Poison Master? I think he was with the Poison Master last time too."
"Don't you understand? He's a male concubine."
"Such ugly male concubines, the Eastern Poison Master certainly has unique tastes."
...
Not far away, Yan Lin stumbled...
Following the directions indicated on the map of Shijiazhuang, Dongfang Mian and his companions walked deeper into the area, encountering a few strangers along the way.
"There really are people who aren't afraid of death coming here to search for treasure," Ah Ju exclaimed.
“He’s from the Mu family.” During a chance encounter, Dongfang Mian noticed a hidden Mu family mark on a person.
This made Dongfang Mian suddenly understand why none of the Shi family members had come in. It seemed that the Mu family already knew that the Shi family was coming to collect poisonous substances, and these people must have been sent in on purpose to cause trouble.
"Then why don't they attack us?" Aju asked.
"They probably don't want to be exposed. After all, our group doesn't look like we're particularly strong. In their eyes, the Shi family probably looks down on us and thinks we're just reckless cultivators who came here to search for treasure without fear of death," Dongfang Mian analyzed.
Aju's mood immediately soured. She thought everyone else was a fool, but it turned out she was the fool in their eyes.
"Let's go," Dongfang Mian and the others said, continuing their journey as if nothing had happened.
When they entered the depths of the Poisonous Swamp Forest, the air there was poisonous, and the smell made their throats burn. Dongfang Mian gave everyone a homemade blue pill to relieve the burning sensation.
Actually, this was a combination of countless water-attribute god-level skills, specifically the Healing Technique, which she had compressed together. Naturally, the healing effect was exceptional, and they quickly felt completely refreshed and could breathe freely again.
"Aren't we being a bit wasteful?" Yan Lin felt that they could actually hold on a little longer.
"Yes, A-Mian, what if we eat now and then encounter danger again?" A-Ju asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there's plenty. You can eat it like candy," Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
"Oh, you should have said so earlier! Give me two more quickly, I can't breathe..."
As they laughed and joked, they got closer and closer to the location of the Poison Mother, and soon they arrived at the area marked on the map.
"Everyone, split up and search to see where the poison mother is. Remember, if you find her, don't touch her. Wait for me to come and deal with her," Dongfang Mian instructed.
Everyone chose a direction and set off, but after searching for a long time, they still couldn't find her. Just when everyone thought she was just running around playing, Ahua screamed, "Mom, here, a monster!"
Dongfang Mian was startled and hurriedly ran to Ahua's side. Yan Lin and Aju arrived almost at the same time.
The group turned their gaze to the creature lying on the ground that appeared to be a monster.
It was tightly wrapped in vines, with only its eyes showing, which were staring at them blankly.
"This is the Poison Mother?" Dongfang Mian looked at it suspiciously, it was not quite the same as she had imagined.
No, this is a person!
Dongfang Mian suddenly realized that, judging from the size of the cocoon formed by the vines, it must still be a child.
Dongfang Mian hurriedly ran to the cocoon and carefully untied the vines, revealing the face of the person wrapped inside.
