"Qingxi, there are poisonous plants near the third puddle ahead. The air there is poisonous. Go around it a little further." The Wanling Patriarch sounded the alarm again.
Hearing this, Gu Qingxi drove the ram car and went around it a little further.
Lekong and Feng Xiati followed Gu Qingxi without any hesitation and took a detour.
Not long after they went, a scream came from behind. Looking back, a male cultivator had a black face, obviously poisoned. The female cultivator next to him screamed and was frantically stuffing pills into his mouth. The place where these two people were was exactly the area where they had just taken a detour.
This time Lekong and Feng Xiati saw the problem.
Feng Xiati caught up and asked Gu Qingxi: "Qingxi, can you foresee the danger? But didn't you say that you only walked to the water forest last time?"
"I sensed a little, but I'm not so sure." Gu Qingxi replied vaguely.
The existence of the Wanling Patriarch should not be exposed for the time being. This guy is basically a living fossil, and he can be regarded as a treasure. If it is leaked accidentally, someone will covet him and want to capture him for research, or it will attract the old enemies of the Wanling Patriarch, which will be even worse. This guy must have existed tens of thousands of years ago. If there are enemies who are still alive, they must be old monsters. It is estimated that one finger can make her and Wanling disappear into ashes.
What's more, the old ancestor of Wanling himself is unwilling to expose his existence. Taking these into consideration, even in front of friends, Gu Qingxi did not tell the truth. Sometimes, the less you know, the better.
Feng Xiatian did not ask any more questions, but followed behind Gu Qingxi, and then turned to Kong and said, "It feels really good to have a big boss."
Kong nodded, and it was indeed much easier to follow Gu Qingxi.
Gu Qingxi was asking the old ancestor of Wanling at this time: "Can you sense these dangers? It seems that you couldn't before?"
"I don't know, anyway, I can sense some now. Maybe it's because of this soul-nourishing magic weapon?" The old ancestor of Wanling himself felt a little strange.
Seeing that the old ancestor of Wanling himself didn't know the reason, Gu Qingxi didn't dwell on it too much.
But the journey was indeed much easier.
After walking for a while, Feng Xiatian suddenly said, "Qingxi, someone is chasing us from behind."
Gu Qingxi stopped and looked back. There were two cultivators, a man and a woman. These two were the two who had just had the male cultivator poisoned and the female cultivator stuffed the elixir into his mouth.
Seeing Gu Qingxi stop, the two came forward, but did not approach rashly. Instead, they kept a certain distance and bowed to Gu Qingxi, and then said, "I'm sorry for being so shameless to follow you. We are weak and have to do this helplessly. I see that you should have been here before and are very familiar with this place, so we caught up to ask if we can follow you. We will reward you."
"I'm really sorry." The female cultivator also looked embarrassed, "We will follow behind and will not cause any trouble to you. If you encounter anything, don't pay attention to us."
Feng Xiatian and the others saw that the two people realized that they had been safe all the way, so they wanted to follow behind for a while to ensure safety. These two people were very observant.
Seeing the two people's sincere faces, Gu Qingxi didn't care and waved her hand, saying, "Follow if you want. No need to thank me."
The two people could have remembered their route and followed quietly. But the two people caught up with her to say hello and wanted to thank her. Gu Qingxi felt that at least on the surface, their character was okay, so she didn't care too much.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist." The two said gratefully.
Gu Qingxi set off again and led the way.
Feng Xiatian's social compulsion came back again. He slowed down and followed the two people, asking curiously, "What are you two doing here?"
"The eldest sister is poisoned and needs a herb from the Nether Swamp. This herb is very rare and is not available in Wanbao Tower. We are here to try our luck and see if there are any cultivators who can collect it and sell it to us. Of course, if we are lucky enough to collect it ourselves, it would be even better." The male cultivator explained the reason why they came here.
"Is that so." Feng Xiatian suddenly realized.
Gu Qingxi believed what the two people said a little. Because the strength of these two people is not high, and just now the male cultivator was poisoned, and the female cultivator was screaming and feeding medicine in a hurry, it can be seen that these two people have not had much experience.
However, it is too early to draw a conclusion whether this is the case. Continue to observe and see.
So the two followed behind Gu Qingxi and the others. Feng Xiatian talked to them all the way and got a lot of details about the two.
These two people are a pair of Taoist lovers. The man is called Jian Chengzhong and the woman is called Lu Chenling. They are both disciples of a small sect. A few days ago, their sect was commissioned to help a small family of cultivators deal with the strange beasts hovering in the spirit garden. After investigation, it was found that there were strange treasures in the spirit garden, which was the fundamental reason for attracting strange beasts.
As a result, one of the disciples who went with them had evil intentions after seeing the strange treasure. When the eldest sister was concentrating on dealing with the strange beast, he attacked the eldest sister, robbed the strange treasure and ran away. The weapon used by this disciple was highly poisonous, and this poison came from southern Xinjiang. The antidote is naturally made up of southern Xinjiang herbs, one of which is very rare and has never been bought. So these two people appeared here.
"If we find the traitor, we must tear him into pieces. He is worse than a beast. Everyone has seen how much care the senior sister has for him. But in the end, for a magic weapon, he attacked the senior sister and snatched the treasure and was expelled from the sect. Damn it!" Lu Chenling gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Then can you beat him? What's more, he has a magic weapon in his hand now." Feng Xia Tian asked subconsciously. This question was like a knife that hit the heart.
Lu Chenling was stunned, then his face turned pale and he was speechless.
Gu Qingxi: "..." The straight man Xia Tian killed the conversation.
Lekong was silent for a while and then added: "My friend has no ill intentions. He just wants to tell the donor that revenge must be taken, but one must also prioritize one's own safety. Otherwise, if something happens to you, your senior sister will be even more upset."
"Yes, that's what I mean." Feng Xiatian saw Lu Chenling's pale face and realized that he had said it too bluntly, so he said hurriedly.
"Thank you, I will." Lu Chenling felt better.
In this way, the group followed Gu Qingxi and moved forward safely.
After moving forward for more than an hour, they were blocked in front.
To be precise, they were blocked by a group of people.
The leading monk said coldly: "Stop! You can't pass in front. You either turn around or wait until we have dealt with the matter before you can pass."
Hearing this overbearing request, Gu Qingxi and others frowned.
