Chapter 112 The Black Pool Was Blown Up
Wolf tribe
As Shu Ning studied these dragon transformation techniques, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Xuan Mo.
I don't know where he is now, or if he will encounter any danger while he is out there alone.
Having known him for so long, she still hadn't learned anything about him or his family.
So she turned to the section on the Black Serpent Clan—
Introduction: The Black Serpent Clan resides in the swampy region of the southeastern part of the Beast World Continent—the Nether Swamp.
More than two hundred years ago, a black snake beastman named Xuandun accidentally discovered a black flying insect called Meigu while hunting in the wild.
He was afraid the black insect would bite him, so he sprayed venom to drive it away.
He discovered that after the black insect came into contact with his venom, it not only wasn't poisoned, but instead became even more frenzied, frantically searching for and biting any living creature it could find.
Upon seeing that scene, he panicked and tried to run away. To his surprise, the black insect not only did not attack him, but instead followed him as if it obeyed his commands.
But after a while, the black worm's manic symptoms disappeared after it excreted its excrement.
So he had a bold idea: if these flying insects were used to attack other races, wouldn't his Black Serpent Clan be able to rapidly expand their territory and eventually dominate the entire Beast World?
So he took the black insect back to study and cultivate it.
During the cultivation process, he discovered a new benefit—
Once the Black Serpent Beastman enters the pool where the insects grow, his temperament will undergo a subtle change after he emerges.
It will become bloodthirsty.
Aside from their own orc race, they view other orc races as thorns in their side, and have an urge to eliminate them as soon as possible.
Because some of the poisonous insects had already parasitized their bodies.
Overjoyed at discovering this function, he presented it to the leader at the time.
The leader was overjoyed when he learned of this and ordered all adult males to soak in the Black Insect Pool.
After conquering more and more territory, they believed that the insect was a gift from the Beast God to their Black Serpent Clan.
Therefore, those insects were called sub-gods, and the pool of blackened insects was called a divine baptism.
...
Upon seeing this, Shu Ning couldn't help but gasp.
I wonder if Xuanmo also got involved.
He is now an adult.
But looking back on the days I spent with him, he didn't have the madness or ruthlessness that comes with being bitten by a bewitching sorceress.
Could Xuanmo have already gone back?
Thinking about this, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Ding—!" Suddenly, a mechanical sound rang in my mind.
"Hello host, please accept the new main quest - rescue Xuanmo from the Black Serpent Clan."
Upon hearing the system's words, Shu Ning was startled. "What happened to Xuan Mo?" she immediately asked.
"Xuanmo is currently being stimulated by the Gu poison."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ning immediately tried to teleport to the Black Serpent Clan.
"Host, wait a minute." 007 called out to her.
"What's wrong?"
"This time, we must not only rescue Xuanmo, but also free him from the prison in his heart."
After hearing 007's words, Shu Ning didn't have time to think about it in detail. For now, she just wanted to help him get out of his predicament.
So she immediately teleported to the side of Xuanmo, a member of the Black Serpent Clan.
When she saw Xuanmo struggling in pain on the ground, clutching his head, she felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart.
She quickly glanced around. In front of her was a dark pool filled with countless tiny black insects, almost exactly as described in the encyclopedia.
Beside the black pool sat a middle-aged man with a dignified expression who bore a resemblance to Xuan Mo, while Xuan Mo lay at his feet.
"Xuanmo!" she called out, and immediately stepped forward.
The guards nearby, seeing her suddenly appear out of nowhere, immediately became alert and blocked her path.
The middle-aged male sitting to the side frowned slightly when he saw a foreign orc enter.
He was stimulating Xuanmo's memories of the Gu poison in his mind, forcing him to forget his aversion to them.
Upon seeing someone trying to stop him, he immediately tried to get up, but when he saw that it was a female, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Get her out of here," he said.
The guards stepped forward to grab her, but Shu Ning immediately retreated.
She quickly thought of a solution.
007 said he not only wanted to rescue Xuanmo, but also to free him from the prison in his heart.
Xuanmo delayed leaving the wolf clan to return to the black snake clan after recovering her health, and she guessed that it was related to the things in the black pool.
Since Xuanmo, now an adult, did not have these mediums in his body, she concluded that Xuanmo hated these insects.
But the key now is how to get rid of these bugs.
She glanced at the worms wriggling in the water, quickly considering what she could use in the space.
I remembered the bomb that the system rewarded me with when I completed the last side quest.
She didn't know if it was possible, but she didn't have that much time to think about it right now.
As soon as the guards approached her, she kicked them all away.
He then took out the bomb and a lighter and set it on fire.
As she threw the bomb into the black pool, she swiftly teleported Xuanmo and all the beastmen present back to the wolf clan.
She didn't want to take them away, but the middle-aged man looked somewhat like Xuanmo, and she guessed that he was very likely Xuanmo's father.
She had no grudges against the other guards.
She doesn't know the details yet, so she simply took them all with her.
If those people die because of her, and if she becomes the culprit who killed her father, how will she ever get along with Xuanmo again?
After Shu Ning teleported back, she didn't see the bomb she threw rapidly heat up to an extremely high temperature in the water before exploding with a loud "bang," killing all the black insects in the black pool and scattering them into a bloody mess.
Upon hearing the loud commotion inside, the guards outside immediately rushed in.
They were shocked by the horrific scene inside, and they were all dumbfounded.
The entire cave wall was covered with a layer of black worm flesh.
The cave ceiling above was blown down and crashed right into the black pool.
After being exposed to high temperatures, the water in the black pool rose into the air, causing the temperature inside the cave to become stiflingly high due to the evaporation of the water vapor.
The sweltering heat was accompanied by a foul stench of dead insects emanating from the cave.
The ground was covered with a thick, sticky layer of corpse worms; stepping on it would leave you covered in a lot of filth.
The guards covered their noses, remembering that their king and Xuanmo had just been inside.
They shouted and searched around, suppressing their nausea.
Outside the Black Serpent Clan, at the moment of the explosion, a tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire clan.
It was like an earthquake.
Upon hearing the booming sound, all the Black Serpent Orcs instantly became alert and began searching for the source of the sound.
Wolf Clan —
Shu Ning teleported Xuan Mo to his cave in the wolf clan, and teleported the other orcs directly to the cave where prisoners were imprisoned.
Since it was done in one go, she didn't use two teleportations to separate and place them when she returned this time.
After Shu Ning placed Xuan Mo on the bed, she frowned with worry as she watched him still suffering.
She sat by his bedside, took his hand, and called out, "Xuanmo, it's alright now, it's all over."
“Xuanmo, this is the wolf clan, don’t be afraid, I’m here…” she whispered to comfort him, stroking his forehead with her other hand.
Xuanmo's body was being stimulated by the Forget-Me-Not Grass and the scene from earlier. His memory of something was on the verge of being forgotten or remembered. The two extremes were intertwined, causing him to fall into a half-dream, half-awake state.
Upon hearing the sounds from outside, the furrowed brow on his forehead slowly relaxed.
That was a familiar voice, a voice he had experienced before, the same voice he heard when he lost his will to live after being wrongly accused.
He then awoke from the agonizing nightmare, looking at the familiar cave and the familiar female.
Her eyes were filled with worry. After seeing him wake up, she leaned closer to him, her anxious and worried eyes instantly brightening as she asked with concern, "Xuanmo, you're finally awake."
A complex emotion flashed in Xuanmo's eyes, and a pang of sorrow welled up in his heart. He immediately pulled her into his arms, hugging her back and feeling her warmth.
Shu Ning patted his shoulder, "It's alright..."
A moment later, Xuanmo released her. Just as she was about to get up and say something, he suddenly pressed down on the back of her head, bringing her lips close to his. He then captured her lips and began to frantically take them into his mouth...
