Most of the plants and trees in Medicine Ghost Valley are highly poisonous. If a person touches them, they will be poisoned instantly. Therefore, they must be very careful, otherwise the consequences of encountering these poisonous plants will be unimaginable.
So the two of them were always flying on their swords, exploring deeper inside.
Song Wu had just heard that Xie Zhou was searching for the whereabouts of the magical beast, so he decided to go along with him so that they could look out for each other.
She felt there was nothing wrong with the matter, so she readily agreed and went with him.
"Song Wu, you said the area inside is full of poison, so why are the magical beasts here unharmed?"
"The monsters have a tough exterior. Even if they step on poison, as long as it's not a poison king that lasts for thousands of years, they can neutralize it themselves and refine it into the components that their bodies need."
Xie Zhou now understands why the monsters chose to hide here. After all, it is beneficial to their own bodies and poses a threat to others.
I doubt many people would willingly risk offending others and getting poisoned!
It seems that only I am a fool to insist on going in and finding out what's going on.
"Well, it's actually quite clever. But speaking of which, how did you suddenly appear here? I was quite startled when I saw you just now."
Xie Zhou could never have imagined that Song Wu would suddenly appear here. It all seemed like fate.
"Perhaps God sensed that you would encounter some disaster on this trip, so He sent me to save you."
Song Wu thought he was just joking, but little did he expect that his words would become a reality a moment later.
The two of them wandered aimlessly through Medicine Ghost Valley, searching for ways to fly on a sword, but found no trace of it.
Logically speaking, with such heavy demonic energy here, it should be very difficult for demonic beasts to conceal their presence.
The current situation is probably very difficult to explain.
Xie Zhou originally planned to patrol the area again, and if he still found no clues, he would return to the sect and discuss the matter with the elders.
Before she could even make a move, her feet were entangled by the creeping vines. The force of the vines was so sudden and powerful that they quickly threw her to the ground.
Because of its own protective aura, the spirit sword sensed that something had happened to its master and immediately used its power to cut off the vines.
After Xie Zhou fell to the ground, he quickly stood up and looked down at his purple ankle, realizing that the vines were poisonous.
Moreover, if the wound is not treated in time, there is a good chance that he will not even have a chance to get out of here.
Song Wu, who was originally not far away, immediately returned after hearing a scream to save Xie Zhou, who was being attacked by vines.
He leaned down, scooped up the weak woman with one hand, and with the other hand pulled out the parts stuck in the ground, flying into the air to find a relatively safe place.
When you roll up her trouser leg, you can see that her once delicate ankles are now red and swollen.
Xie Zhou could clearly sense that Medicine Ghost Valley had been triggered by some mechanism, with poisonous gas spreading all around.
With no other option, the two had to use all their willpower to hold their breath and temporarily shut down their connection with Yao Guigu.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away. Song Wu, with his keen ears, immediately reached out and covered Xie Zhou's mouth before he could speak.
Use your mouth to tell the other person, "Listen carefully, someone is coming."
Soon, a group of people dressed in black emerged from the darkness. Xie Zhou, seeing their attire, naturally knew where they came from and why they were there.
Fortunately, she curled the corners of her lips into a smile, chuckled softly, and nestled in the other's arms, murmuring gently, "The Forgotten Spirit Palace is really as troublesome as a leech, actually sending people to secretly poison me. Aren't they worried that one day they'll harm themselves?"
They have absolutely no reason to worry. After all, they have a large number of men under their command. Even if they send out a few and the entire army is wiped out, so what?
For them, there is no harm, no threat, only the poisoning of themselves.
“I’ve temporarily shielded our presence, so they shouldn’t be able to detect us. But we both know what kind of people the Forgotten Spirit Palace is; they definitely can’t be limited to this level of ability, so we must leave here as soon as possible.”
Song Wu couldn't help but frown as he looked down at the Forgotten Spirit Palace, which was searching for the two of them. He picked up a stone from the side and threw it in the opposite direction.
Those people seemed to be suddenly drawn to it and immediately rushed over.
The spirit insect was then able to escape, transforming into human form to take the herbs it had prepared and use them to heal Xie Zhou's injuries.
"Director, don't worry. I made a series of preparations before coming here. I have a general understanding of the poisons here, so I prepared the antidote in advance. However, it will take some time for you to recover. Please don't move around for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
Left with no other choice, the spirit insect picked up the medicine bowl beside it, ground the herbs into water, and fed it to the weak Xie Zhou.
She collapsed to the side, as if her energy had been temporarily drained, and could only sit up with the help of others.
"We can't move around within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, how can we? Those guys from the Forgotten Spirit Palace aren't pushovers. They couldn't find us over there, and they actually know we've been deceived. They'll be back to settle scores with us soon. If we stay here for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, aren't we just walking into a trap?"
Xie Zhou shook his head slightly. There were still people in the sect waiting for him to return and report the news. He absolutely could not fail here.
After all, many people want to see her make a fool of herself, and they are willing to pay a huge price for it, the extent of which is hard to estimate.
Xie Zhou endured the discomfort and pain in his ankle, trying to stand up and find a place to rest for a while.
But suddenly they discovered that, without them noticing, the people from the Forgotten Spirit Palace had been lying in ambush everywhere.
It's unclear how they found this place, as I don't seem to have posted anything related to it.
Furthermore, coming here was a sudden decision, so it's impossible for anyone to have known about it beforehand, or even worse, the only possibility is that the person behind the scenes was the one who actually orchestrated it.
"Those guys from the Hall of Forgotten Spirits are really like a bunch of mad dogs. Once their masters let go of their leashes, they immediately rush out and bite people indiscriminately." Song Wu took a deep breath and looked back, only to find that they still hadn't seen the two people in sight.
"Once a mad dog gets used to being around people, it's no longer a mad dog, but a wild dog."
Xie Zhou couldn't help but sigh. He wondered when the Forgotten Spirit Palace, a place so steeped in blood, had become a dog farm. It was truly laughable.
