Chapter 76 The Mystery of the Poison Swamp
"Master, this poisonous swamp is really poisonous. Ordinary anti-poison pills are completely useless. I remember that more than ten years ago, high-level anti-poison pills were still useful, but I don't know what happened later. Even with anti-poison pills, people who entered could not get out." Xiao Hei said unconfidently.
"Hey, Xiao Hei, if my sister says it's useful, then it's useful. The people who entered the poisonous swamp and couldn't get out were bled to death. There's something fishy going on!"
"Oh!" Xiao Hei then flew towards the poisonous swamp with confidence.
The Soul-Devouring Forest is indeed large enough, and the poisonous swamp is in the west near Wu Hai.
The Wuhai Sea is a barrier that separates the Eastern and Western spiritual worlds. Gu Shihan is now in the East, which is the territory of Taoists, while the West is a place where human cultivators and demons live together.
Because of the Wu Sea and the obstruction of sea beasts, the East and the West have not had any contact with each other for thousands of years.
In fact, Wuhai is a dangerous sea area. Not only are there frequent sea storms, but there are also many sea monsters in the sea. If you want to cross Wuhai without the cultivation of Nascent Soul, don't even think about it.
Even if one has reached the Nascent Soul stage, it will be useless without top-notch tools for crossing the sea.
There is a legend about this crossing of the sea. It seems that there was a great war between human cultivators and demon cultivators. Finally, several crossing docks were destroyed by demon cultivators, and the spacecraft was destroyed...
This battle also weakened the power of human cultivators. Many high-level cultivators died. Because there was no successor, the connection between the East and the West was also cut off.
Xiao Hei flew for two days before he got to the outskirts of the poisonous swamp.
Gu Shihan landed on the ground and did not rush to go in to check.
According to Xingbai's perception, they arrived at the entrance of the poisonous swamp where people entered and exited.
The current poisonous swamp can be said to be controlled by someone, but who is controlling it? It is still unclear.
Gu Shihan followed the subtle traces and searched all the way out of the Soul-Devouring Forest, hoping to find some clues and learn more about the situation before taking action.
That day, she and Yutong were exploring outside with invisibility talismans attached to them. Suddenly, three people in black robes appeared in her mind. The blood-red skulls on the robes were so familiar.
"Sister, evil cultivator! Skull head!" Yu Tong said in surprise.
"Hanhan, that person has a space magic weapon on him, it should be the Qiankun House." Xingbai also poked out his fox head and said.
Xingbai is not very satisfied with its small body, and most of the time it appears in the form of a little white fox. Now it came out of the space and stayed obediently in Gu Shihan's sleeve pocket to check something.
Xingbai is the spirit of space and has a very sensitive sense of space.
"Hanhan, they are obviously heading for the poisonous swamp. You enter the Moonlight Bracelet, and I will quietly control the Moonlight Bracelet to follow them. Perhaps we can easily enter the poisonous swamp and find out the latest news."
"Okay, thank you Xingbai! Without you, I don't know how many days I can survive in this dangerous world of immortal cultivation. The road to immortality is long and winding, but with you, I am not alone, I am not lonely, let's go!"
Gu Shihan sighed, entered the space, opened the skylight, and paid attention to the black-robed man's every move.
Today, the invisibility function of the Yuehua Bracelet has become much more powerful. It can basically be silent and can clearly hear all kinds of sounds within five meters.
"Xingbai, this Moonlight Bracelet is so amazing!" Yutong praised.
"That's for sure. We will be able to hide among them and hear their conversation soon. If everything goes well, we can take down the Qiankun House on that person. I always feel that there is someone locked up in it." Xingbai said with a smile.
Sure enough, the Yuehua bracelet moved closer to a few people, and their conversation became audible.
"An Qi, what do you think the leader wants us to bring back so many mortals for? Don't they need monks for their cultivation? What's the point of asking for mortals?"
"I don't know. We can't ask about the boss's affairs. Have you forgotten the lesson of Mei Wu?" An Qi said.
“Hey, don’t say anymore. My heart trembles when I think of that scene. Our heads… our lives…” said another man in black robe with a somewhat sad tone.
"Yes! We... I really regret taking this step, but now it's impossible to retreat." An Qi said regretfully.
"Well, let's go and stop talking. We have entered the warning area. If our conversation is heard by someone with ulterior motives, we will be in trouble. The delivery time is only three hours away, so speed up." An San patted the Qiankunwu on his waist and said.
The Yuehua Bracelet followed the group through several checkpoints before they entered the inner area of the poisonous swamp.
Gu Shihan was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweats in the Yuehua bracelet. If she had been more reckless and directly entered the poisonous swamp to check, she might have been discovered long ago.
Fortunately, she was careful and cautious enough and did not underestimate any place.
Unexpectedly, the further we went in, the more we saw mechanisms, traps, and formations everywhere. If we were not careful, we would be exposed, or even our lives would be in danger.
"Command!" a shrill female voice sounded.
"Mountain Wolf!" An Qi replied, and walked away with the other two men in black robes. Yuehua Bracelet followed closely behind.
"Hey, Yingshi, did you feel a flash of strange aura passing by?"
"Mei Shi, you are just overly sensitive. I don't feel anything at all. You women are just neurotic!" Ying Shi said impatiently.
"Is it not okay that I'm naturally sensitive? Stop talking nonsense." Mei Shi rolled his eyes and stopped paying attention.
The woman's words made the people in the Yuehua bracelet's heartbeats quicken. Gu Shihan adjusted the skylight to the smallest range, which made it safer. The disadvantage was that the monitored area was smaller.
An Qi and the other two came to a stone house, raised their hands and knocked three times, and the stone door opened.
A masked man asked coldly, "Are the goods ready?"
"Protectors, they're all here! Thirty-three of us in total!" An Qi said cautiously.
An San wanted to take the Qian Kun House from his waist, but when he touched it, he was so scared that he lowered his head to look for it, "An Qi, the Qian Kun House is gone!"
"What? How is that possible! We checked it not long ago and it's impossible!" An Qi was so scared that he took a few steps back and collapsed to the ground.
An San and An Ba were also frightened and their faces turned pale. "Useless thing, you can't even do such a thing, you don't need to live anymore."
The masked man stopped talking, stretched out his hands, and formed his five fingers into claws. Fast as lightning, he took out the hearts of An San and An Ba and put them into the jade box.
An Qi was so frightened that his legs went limp. He wanted to escape but didn't dare. He could only huddle on the ground trembling, not daring to say a word.
The masked man glanced at the black-robed man on the ground with disdain and said in a cold voice, "Come here, pass the order to block all passages and activate the highest alert. We must find the intruder even if we have to scrape the ground three feet deep."
Xing Bai controlled the Yuehua Bracelet and entered the stone house, hiding among a pile of debris, not daring to move.
The poisonous swamp suddenly began to boil. Xing Bai used the power of confinement to protect the invisible Moonlight Bracelet, and then told Gu Shihan about the situation outside.
"Hanhan, there are seventy-three people in the poisonous swamp. The one with the highest cultivation level is a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, who is now in seclusion. The second highest cultivation level is the masked man. There is a blood pool behind the stone house with a lot of insects in it, probably poisonous insects.
"Poisonous insects? Do they use poisonous insects to control people?" Yu Tong asked.
"It should be. This trip is worth it. We must deal with it carefully and wipe them out in one fell swoop." Gu Shihan nodded.
