A day later, Gu Yao told the current test results. "The mist is indeed mixed with other things. These toxins look inconspicuous, but they will stick to the human body surface without a trace. The spiritual power shield will also be penetrated by them. By the time we notice it, it may be too late."
"Can you be sure what produced the toxin?" Chi Changye stood on the edge of the cliff and searched several times, but did not find anything. Therefore, he became more vigilant. They were able to escape his consciousness. It seemed that a cultivator escaped before, and he was suspected of misleading other cultivators.
Gu Yao scratched his head: "I want to check it myself. I have some guesses, but I can't be sure before I see the real thing."
Chi Changye accompanied Gu Yao out of the tent without saying a word and came to the edge of the cliff. Ning Hui, who was opposite, was also frowning at the mist in a vessel. He also found that there was something wrong with the mist, but he couldn't tell where the problem was.
He was a little scared. If it weren't for Gu Yao and Chi Changye's actions, if they went down rashly, would they fall into endless trouble?
"Master Ning, they are out again. What are they going to do?" The monk who helped Ning Hui said
.
Ning Hui was very annoyed. When did that Gu Yao become their weather vane? He had to act according to their actions? But he had to admit that he was helpless now, and he couldn't guess how far the other party had progressed.
Regardless of their reactions, Gu Yao extended his consciousness to separate it into threads and weave it into a dense consciousness net. He wanted to conduct an intensive carpet search of the mist. After several times, he finally caught a subtle change and quickly wrapped it with the consciousness net and pulled it out.
"Pah!"
Something fell on the stone. Tian Feirong and the little fat boy hurried over to take a look. The mist wrapped around it dissipated, revealing a transparent object inside... the size of a finger knuckle. After leaving the mist, the transparent object fluttered on the stone for a while, and then slowly turned black and purple.
"What is this?" Tian Fei shouted in surprise. He and the little fat man collected a lot of mist and sent it to Gu Yao for research, but they didn't find anything else in the mist, and their consciousness didn't capture any strange objects. Could it be that "this thing can escape our consciousness?"
"Mist bee!"
Xu Chen's voice suddenly rang in Gu Yao's mind. After coming here, Xu Chen had been silent, just watching Gu Yao busying around. After spitting out these two words, he further explained:
"This thing is called a mist leech. It is already an almost extinct species of insect. I didn't expect it to appear in this secret realm. The mist leech relies on spiritual mist to survive. It cannot survive for long without spiritual energy. For example, its true form is exposed now. In the spiritual mist, it is transparent and difficult to be captured by spiritual consciousness. It will use this mist to gradually infiltrate into the bodies of monks and monsters. Once it lurks, it will gradually absorb any spiritual energy in the bodies of monks and monsters, such as spiritual power, and the flesh and blood of monks. "
Gu Yao's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he also transmitted these contents to Chi Changye and Tian Feirong.
Chi Changye saw that Gu Yao was slightly stunned, and guessed that these contents should be told to Gu Yao by the senior Xu Chen.
After Tian Feirong and the little fat man understood what this thing was, they were shocked and jumped back a few steps, fearing that this thing would drill into their skin and suck their flesh and blood. After the monks practiced, there was nothing in their flesh and blood that was not moistened by spiritual energy, and these were all food for this mist leech.
"How to deal with this thing?" Gu Yao asked. Who knows how many of these mist leeches live in the fog area of this canyon? Just imagine going in and being surrounded by densely packed mist leeches... Gu Yao shuddered.
Xu Chen said: "If your kitten Black Nether Flame, or that kid's Blue Flame grows up, you don't have to worry about mist leeches when entering this mist. Once the mist leeches approach, they will be burned to ashes. But they are still a little weak now, and I suspect that the group of mist leeches below has evolved a leader, so..."
This time Chi Changye also heard it: "So if we catch the leader, we can completely solve the situation here?"
"Yes," Xu Chen smiled, "but you have to find that thing first."
Chi Changye said lightly: "Seeing that you are in a good mood, I guess this matter is very simple for you."
Gu Yao raised his eyebrows. What does this mean? Chi Changye
curled his lips and said: "Mist leeches feed on spiritual energy, so there should be no threat to non-spiritual existences."
Gu Yao suddenly seemed to understand. Does this mean that the soul state of the senior can be unaffected by the mist leeches? He asked quickly: "Senior, is that so? Senior, we are in the same boat now. Helping us is equivalent to helping yourself."
"...... Bah!" This hateful and shameless bastard.
Chi Changye's black eyes floated with a little smile. This senior Xu is still useful.
The two people and one soul communicated through voice transmission. Tian Feirong and the fat man only saw their expressions change, but they didn't know the inside story. However, looking at the expressions of the two people, they felt that this matter did not seem to be very troublesome.
On the other side, in addition to Ning Hui, other Changxianmen monks were also watching Gu Yao and his movements, especially Gu Yao who had gone into the tent for a day and a night and then came out. They paid more attention to his movements. As a result, they saw him standing at the edge of the cliff, as if he was using his spiritual sense to explore the situation in the fog area. After that, the fog stirred, as if something was thrown out, but they could not see what it was, and their spiritual sense could not scan it.
"Are they just playing tricks, or have they really discovered something?" a monk asked in confusion. Ying Mucheng touched his chin and said: "I suspect they have found out something. You know, there is something strange about this mist. They were the first to discover it."
When Ying Mucheng went to negotiate with Chi Changye, he saw with his own eyes the changes in the vessel in Gu Yao's hand. He no longer dared to underestimate this alchemist who had just established his foundation and was known as a genius as he did at the beginning.
The monk said uncertainly: "But we have tried many methods today and didn't find anything unusual in the fog. Maybe the fog itself carries toxins, and a detoxification pill can't solve the problem?"
When Gu Yao went into the tent to study, they tried everything they could think of, such as burning, pouring water, and being struck by lightning. However, they only dispersed the fog, and it would spread again soon, alarming the monsters below, which kept roaring at them in protest.
Ying Muqing shook his head. Although he had no evidence, he intuitively believed the other side this time. He thought that these people were just trash in his eyes not long ago. It was only in the end that he could get their approval. Otherwise, there would be no place for the monks from Tianlin Continent to set foot in this canyon.
Ning Hui was also very impatient and had to consult Lou Huaijing. Lou Huaijing told him that he could not get an answer from him. Ning Hui was very angry, but he was unwilling to go to Gu Yao for confirmation. This was equivalent to bowing to him
. He was a genius alchemist of Changxianmen. How could he bow his head and ask for advice from a little alchemist in the wilderness? If he got back to Changxianmen, he would lose all his face.
After dealing with Xu Chen, Gu Yao and Chi Changye found a rock on the edge of the cliff and sat down, stroking the cat while enjoying the scenery. The scenery here is quite good, as long as you ignore the countless number of mist leeches in the mist.
Tian Feirong and the little fat man followed suit, sitting on the edge of the cliff and chatting and laughing, looking very relaxed.
Seeing this, the other monks also relaxed a lot. In their opinion, Chi Changye and Gu Yao had already found a solution. They were confident and not just playing tricks as the other side thought. So now they just had to wait as Chi Changye said.
Xu Chen cursed Gu Yao and Chi Changye as two bastards in his heart, but he had to do hard labor for them. His soul could leave the space for a short time. Although he was indeed the best candidate to deal with the one who could only be the leader of the mist leeches, he was still so resentful.
He wanted others not to see him, so he could not see him, so he sneaked into the mist area silently, and no one knew.
The eyes of the soul body are quite different from the eyes and consciousness of the human body. After diving in, he saw many transparent light spots. They were mist leeches. Well, he felt his scalp was tingling when he saw these ghost things. He felt that these ghost things would stick to him in the next moment. He had to clean them up after returning to Dan Pavilion.
The longer he was away and the farther he was, the more his soul would be consumed, so he did not dare to delay and searched quickly.
Finally, he found a giant mist leech lying on the ground in a cave on the mountain wall. It looked similar to a water python, but it was slippery and seemed soft and boneless. Xu Chen felt that if he fought alone, this mist leech leader would not be so easy to deal with. Ordinary magic swords probably couldn't pierce its skin.
Its color was no longer transparent, but a dark purple. It was hard to see where its eyes were, but there were two holes. Sometimes it sucked in the spiritual mist outside, and sometimes it sprayed out a ball of light black-purple gas, which lost its original color after blending into the mist.
The giant mist leech seemed to sense something strange around it and was trying to wriggle around to search. Xu Chen could no longer wait and attacked the mist leech's consciousness with disgust. Yes, the method was to control the mist leech leader. Although he couldn't attack it with his physical body, it was still easy for a soul like Xu Chen to control it mentally.
The entire mist area was turbulent for a moment, but it soon calmed down and returned to its original state.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked at each other with joy in their eyes. With the help of the senior, it really succeeded!
"What happened just now?" Ning Hui and the others also noticed it. Although it calmed down quickly, the movement for a moment made people suspicious. Could it be that there was some special monster hidden in this fog area that could conceal its breath?
After Xu Chen controlled the giant fog leech, he returned quietly. As soon as he entered the space, he was too tired to talk. He was tired.
When Gu Yao was chewing the spiritual fruit, he found that there were actually several cultivators from the Changxian Sect. They entered the fog area cautiously. His eyes widened at that time, and he shuddered when he thought of the possible consequences. A smile flashed in Chi Changye's eyes,
"Brother Ye, where are the cultivators who escaped from the canyon before?"
Chi Changye shook his head: "They are not here. Maybe they have been..." Gnawed to nothing. Maybe it was because the fog leeches would lurk in the human body for a while, and the effect was not immediate, so people did not realize the danger of the fog area.
Because the monks who went in to investigate did not enter the bottom of the canyon,
they did not encounter any danger even though there were roars of monsters below. They did not find anything unusual after several in and out trips, so the monks
of Changxian Sect cast suspicious eyes towards Gu Yao and his group, and many people believed that he did it on purpose. The monks on the Tianlin Continent did not show much abnormality. They were originally satisfied to drink the soup, so they would never participate in the fight for the blood glazed fruit this time. So they just regarded it as a show and pointed at the other side, which made the monks of Changxian Sect angry.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy around them rushed downwards.
"Here it comes!"
Chi Changye and Gu Yao quickly stood up and looked towards the depths of the canyon.
"Fellow Daoist Chi, can we start now?" Ying Muching flew over on his flying sword.
Chi Changye looked at Gu Yao, who said firmly, "I'll go with you."
"Okay." Chi Changye no longer hesitated, and looked at Tian Feirong and the other cultivators present, "You guys stay up there first, and wait for the right moment before deciding whether to go down."
"Brother Chi, don't worry, you guys have to be careful too." Tian Feirong warned, and even glanced at Changxianmen, meaning that they should be especially careful of the guys from Changxianmen, as they were all untrustworthy.
Gu Yao had already told Tian Feirong and the little fat man how to get through this foggy area smoothly, which was just one word, and that was to wait.
Chi Changye brought Gu Yao with him and flew into the air on the sword energy. At this time, the speed at which the spiritual energy gathered downwards accelerated, as if the entire sky had formed an inverted leaky vortex. Some cultivators from the Changxian Sect could not wait any longer, fearing that if they were a step late, the Blood Glazed Fruit would be ripe and snatched away by the monsters guarding below. So they shouted, "Let's go!"
At the moment, they didn't care about what was abnormal in the fog. Besides, people had entered and exited the fog area before and found nothing, which made them feel at ease, so they rushed downwards first.
Chi Changye and Gu Yao were not so anxious. They were both watching the fog below. A large amount of spiritual energy was sucked away, and the situation below gradually changed. However, it would take more than a short time to react. Other monks still rushed down like dumplings, and the monsters below also roared continuously.
Gu Yao felt that the monsters below had not made any moves against the monks above, but only released their breath to threaten them. They must have been concerned about the fog leeches in the fog area.
Ying Muqing didn't know why, but when he saw Chi Changye and Gu Yao didn't move, he also stopped and looked at the situation in the fog area like the two of them. What were these two people looking at? Gradually, Ying Muqing's eyes became shocked and he shouted loudly: "Quick! There is something in the fog, defend yourself!"
The things in the fog finally gradually revealed their traces, and one by one, the colors gradually turned black and purple and floated in the air. Someone suddenly screamed: "Ah!!! What is this thing? Get out of here, don't get into my body, get out!"
"Fellow Daoist Chi, Master Gu, what exactly is this thing?" Ying Muqing saw that Chi Changye and Gu Yao did not show any surprise. The only change was that Gu Yao touched the goose bumps that were about to fall to the ground, so they must know about it.
Gu Yao looked at him coldly and said, "It is said that it is a kind of strange insect called mist leech, which lives on spiritual energy. It contains all spiritual energy."
