All the members of the Advanced Alliance now had a goal: the light ahead. All they needed to do was reach that light to pass through the teleportation channel and enter the eighth level!
Everyone was very excited, but despite their excitement, Chen Zhou remained vigilant. They were still in the teleportation tunnel, so the danger was not completely over. If Chen Zhou wanted to get rid of it completely, he would have to rely on himself.
"Everyone, don't let your guard down! We haven't completely passed through this teleportation tunnel yet! So we haven't completely gotten rid of the danger here, and you can't let your guard down now," Chen Zhou said.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the middle-aged merchant immediately looked around but found nothing; all around them was now darkness.
"Use your flames to illuminate the surroundings!" the middle-aged merchant said to Chen Zhou. Chen Zhou immediately nodded and used his Rootless Flame to light up the surroundings so that the middle-aged merchant could see the situation clearly.
The illusory teleportation tunnel was no longer around them; instead, they were surrounded by dark walls. The middle-aged merchant tried to touch the walls and was surprised to find that they were real! He then pushed one of the walls and confirmed that it was indeed a real wall.
"Why were the walls we encountered before just illusions from the teleportation channels, but this wall is real? Does this mean we've already entered the eighth level?" the middle-aged merchant asked, puzzled. They didn't stop, but continued walking forward.
“It seems we have indeed entered the eighth level.” Chen Zhou replied. Seeing the middle-aged merchant’s actions, Chen Zhou immediately realized that they were probably in the eighth level. However, the end of this teleportation channel was probably in the eighth level. Now Chen Zhou had to pass through this teleportation channel to fully enter the eighth level.
However, this ending falls within the scope of the eighth level.
"Reaching the eighth level is still a bottleneck for you all right now. So once you reach the eighth level, you must always remember not to let any opportunity to improve your strength slip by," Chen Zhou suddenly thought and immediately turned around to say to the people in the Advancement Alliance.
Everyone nodded, taking Chen Zhou's words to heart.
The current situation is indeed putting increasing pressure on them.
However, just as Chen Zhou turned around to talk to them, the light in front of him immediately dimmed. Chen Zhou noticed this and immediately turned his head back to look at the light ahead.
Chen Zhou looked towards the light and realized that the light had not disappeared, but rather that clusters of visible black demonic energy were blocking it!
Just then, Chen Zhou suddenly heard a rustling sound. He immediately looked at the floor in front of them and was surprised to find that there were crisscrossing vines on the floor!
Chen Zhou had never seen such vines before, because they weren't green, but a rare black! That blackness made Chen Zhou feel uneasy! Chen Zhou had never seen such vines before! Not only were they pitch black, but they were also surrounded by black energy, and there was a great deal of it. Upon closer inspection, Chen Zhou realized that it was demonic energy!
Although Chen Zhou had already seen all sorts of demonic energy in this teleportation channel, seeing it now still made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Because the demonic energy that was entwining the vines was clearly not ordinary demonic energy, but rather demonic energy that emitted a deadly poison!
Although the root of poison in Chen Zhou's body has been destroyed and is now dormant in his dantian, his body has been transformed by that root of poison! Therefore, Chen Zhou is now extremely sensitive to poison, as he can already feel it entangling him!
At this moment, what was clearly surrounding the dark vines in front of him was the demonic energy entwined with deadly poison! The dark green gas was toxic and intertwined with the demonic energy, eventually spreading forward around the vines. If Chen Zhou hadn't possessed a body modified by the Root of Deadly Poison, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense the deadly poison within!
Since Chen Zhou could sense the poison, he was naturally immune to it as well. Therefore, among everyone present, only Chen Zhou was immune to the toxic gas in front of him! The others probably couldn't be immune!
Therefore, Chen Zhou immediately turned around and said to the people behind him, "Don't go any further! Stop immediately and then retreat!"
The only solution Chen Zhou could think of right now was to retreat immediately. If the people from the Advanced Alliance continued to stay here, they would likely be contaminated by the deadly poison ahead! They didn't have Chen Zhou's physique and naturally couldn't take that risk!
"What's going on ahead? These vines aren't enough to make us retreat, are they?" the middle-aged merchant asked, puzzled. All the members of the Advanced Alliance were equipped with weapons, and these weren't demonic soldiers, but some plant vines. Why should they retreat?
Are the people of the Advanced Alliance unable to even deal with some vines?
The middle-aged vendor, unable to detect the potent poison, was naturally puzzled by Chen Zhou's actions. However, Chen Zhou had no time to explain and immediately stated bluntly, "The gas ahead is highly poisonous! Don't try to test its toxicity with your life!"
As someone who had dealt with highly toxic substances before, Chen Zhou naturally understood this principle: never risk your life to test the toxicity of a poison you don't know! That could very well endanger your life!
