After arranging the affairs in the city, I went to look for Lingchang. Lingchang was playing with her little red foxes on the city wall. When they saw me coming, they pointed at me. The little red foxes ran towards me enthusiastically. I touched them one by one and found that their bodies had grown a lot without me noticing. Although it has only been a few months, their sizes are much larger than ordinary foxes. This is because they absorb the energy of heaven and earth every day, replenish the morning dew, eat vegetarian food and abstain from meat. Only by practicing this kind of cultivation can they achieve such extraordinary growth.

Lingshang walked towards me, and suddenly she came close to my face. I could smell the floral fragrance on her body, and my heart was filled with sweetness. Why was she so passionate right away? My heart couldn't bear it, but I heard her sniffing a few times, and then I realized that I was overthinking, and she was smelling me.

"Zhou Lang, have you eaten?" Ling Shang asked.

"What to eat? Oh! That thing? Can I not eat it? I just ran away and I'm afraid I'll vomit all the food soon." I said.

Ling Shang put her hands on her hips and said with a serious expression: "I will obey you in other matters, but if you want to go to that place, you must eat, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble. Eat quickly, you won't be able to taste anything after one bite."

I took the bundled leaves out of my pocket and smelled a sour smell. Although the juice had been tied up in the leaves, I had opened it and seen it, and I knew what it was. How could I eat it if it was like that? I couldn't get over it psychologically.

"Since you said it was the venom of some spider, how can I eat it? Won't I poison myself to death?" I couldn't help but ask.

"There will be signs of poisoning, but I have prepared the antidote for you in advance. After you return from the mission, you can swallow the antidote and you will be fine. The poison is a chronic poison. Since the red spider cannot weave webs and likes to swallow living things, the poison will invade your blood and make your blood stink, so that you can't escape and will eventually be killed by it. However, you will not have any adverse reactions during the stink period. Until a certain hour has passed and if you have not taken the antidote, your blood will begin to mutate, and then even the gods cannot save you." Ling Shang said.

"Is it so dangerous? I think we should just forget it." I said.

Lingshang Huaner smiled, stroked my face tenderly with her hands, and said, "Don't worry, I won't murder my husband."

I smiled bitterly, but I thought that Ling Shang had always been deeply in love with me. Based on many verifications, she was indeed loyal to me. I had mostly misunderstood her. Besides, she was counting on me to protect her fox clan, so she would definitely not harm me. Now the evil spirits in the mountain were showing signs, and the words of the ghost master Mei Sanniang were still ringing in my ears. In order to prevent the evil momentum from worsening, and to prevent this matter from affecting Yunwen, some sacrifices should be made.

So I took out the wrapped grass leaves, pinched my nose, and swallowed it down in one gulp. I was immediately hit by a choking feeling. I covered my throat and mouth, trying to cough but couldn't. My mouth was filled with a nauseous feeling, and then I drooped my chest and retched.

Ling Shang came over to support me, holding my face, and put her mouth on my lips. My eyes widened immediately. There seemed to be movement around my mouth. Not long after, I felt something in my mouth. I swallowed it subconsciously. The feeling of retching was a little better, and there was a lot more fragrance in my mouth.

After noticing how the chewed food came into my mouth, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed. After we separated, I couldn't help but look at Ling Chang. Her charming face was flushed. She explained to me: "Zhou Lang, I was mainly afraid that you would find it too fishy, ​​so I chewed the fragrant wood for you. Although I took the initiative, it was really for your own good, not frivolous."

I coughed, touched her face gently, and said, "I can still tell the difference between good and bad."

She smiled sweetly.

For some reason, after eating the venom of the red devil spider, the chilly feeling in my body disappeared, and my whole body began to feel hot. Ling Shang emitted a white mist and transformed into a white fox. I sat on its back. After she gave a few instructions to the little red fox, she stepped on the breeze and ran in the air.

Following the previous route, after passing the dangerous jungle, Taiqiong Cave, Xiying City and even the second half of the canyon, we arrived at a continuous high mountain. At this height, we could already see the ruins. Seeing it in broad daylight and seeing it at night were two different feelings. When we looked at it at night, we could vaguely see the general outline, as well as the terrible creatures hidden in it, but during the day, we could see it relatively clearly, and we could see that there was a spreading black aura shrouding the place.

Those ruins looked quite old from a distance. There should have been a huge building there in the past, but I don't know what it has been through. Now the supporting pillars are all broken and in ruins, there are piles of rocks, and the collapsed eaves can be vaguely seen. What surprised me was that there was a huge iron cage, and I don't know what was locked there before.

No matter how detailed the object is, it cannot be seen clearly. After all, it is too far away and is still hovering in the air, changing dynamically. Therefore, this is the only extent that can be seen.

Lingchang found a landing point near the ruins. We found our place of residence, and just as we were close to the underground, we could already feel the cold air blowing in our faces, which made me shiver. The temperature here is at least ten degrees lower than when we came here. If it is still late autumn where we are, it is probably the cold winter around here.

The cold here is not ordinary cold, but bone-chilling cold. Ordinary clothes can't resist anything. I just feel my skin and flesh being torn and pulled by the severe cold, which is particularly uncomfortable. I can't help but chatter my teeth and make a rattling sound. The trees around here are all bare as if they have never grown leaves. There are also many frozen roads. The strange thing is that there was no wind just now, but when I arrived at the foothold, the cold wind blew.

"This is too exaggerated. It's the same region, the same sea, and the same island area. The difference is at most 20 or 30 miles. How could the temperature differ so much? Could it be that there is central air conditioning hidden in that dark area?" I couldn't help but say.

"Although I don't know what the central air-conditioning is, the abnormal climate is related to certain creatures in the imprisonment place. It is all caused by its evil spirit. It should still be sleeping now. We have to hurry up to find the answer here." Ling Shang said.

It is true. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. This saying applies at any time. There is also another saying that goes, "You can't afford to provoke them, but you can afford to avoid them." Now we have just regained peace and don't want to have anything to do with those evil spirits, but after all, Yunwen had looked into their eyes at that time. It is better to be safe than sorry. Clues had already appeared last night, so the only thing we can do is to find a way to prevent their invasion and take the initiative.

There was black air lingering around here, which was very similar to the feeling I had last night when I went out to carry Bai Lu. However, those were stickier last night, but these black airs ignored Ling Chang and me. Perhaps it was because I had taken the venom of the red demon spider.

It's hazy here and it's hard to see anything, so we can only hold hands to ensure that each other doesn't get lost, and then look forward step by step. Since we want to find a way to restrain it, there are only two places where we can know. The first is the edge. The black air only floats in a fixed area and cannot go out, which means that there is something that restrains them. The second is to coincidentally find what the black air fears, so that we can know its weakness.

But I was quite surprised. In the mouth of Mei Sanniang, the lord of the ghost den, these things are more evil and more dangerous than her. But no matter how powerful they are, they are just a group of tied up black air. I don’t see anything scary about them. Is there any misunderstanding here?

We could only see the road for two steps, and the rest we could only see roughly. Most of the time, there was some black gas floating around making strange noises. We walked in it and looked around. However, after we had walked about twenty steps, we were stunned by the scene in front of us. We saw that the black gas in front of us had slightly faded, and the ground was full of broken bones and debris, some of which belonged to animals and some to humans.

The road was filled with corpses, stretching endlessly, and I couldn't see the end. At this moment, a hissing sound was heard, and I trembled all over.

The voice was sharp, shrill and ethereal, as if it came from hell. I wanted to turn away, but Ling Shang held my hand tightly and shook her head at me.

I saw that the light in front of my eyes was almost blocked, and a huge creature passed by me. I could vaguely hear the sound of scales sliding on the ground.

Snake?

But at this moment, I heard a dong dong dong sound, and I realized that the other party had feet, and the footsteps were huge. It passed by us, and Lingshang and I could only stand there and dare not move...
