Upon hearing this, Shen Zixuan and Shen Zihan immediately took out the pills from their storage bags and swallowed them. Meng Wan also got one.
Seeing this, Old Man Qian hurried forward and asked with a smile on his face.
"Brother Shen, could you spare me a few poison-avoiding pills? I'm willing to pay a high price for them!"
Shen Zihan glanced at him coldly, "This is not a poison-avoiding pill, but a miasma-breaking pill. Miasma-breaking pills cannot be bought with money."
Old man Qian was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say.
Shen Zixuan looked around and found that the terrain here was very complicated.
There are rugged rocks and dense trees, and visibility is extremely low. Only weak light shines through the dense branches and leaves, adding a bit of eeriness and horror.
"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Hong is lost?"
Meng Wan whispered, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice.
"No." Shen Zixuan said with certainty, "He has been traveling to Tianheng Mountains for so many years, it is impossible for him to get lost in a place like this."
"Everyone, can we discuss this later?"
Old Man Qian interrupted the conversation of several people with a wry smile.
"I don't have any miasma-breaking pills, and the miasma has already begun to penetrate my body. Can you spare me a pill?"
Shen Zihan glanced at him coldly, with undisguised sarcasm in her tone.
"Old man Qian, your abacus beads are about to fall on my face.
This Miasma-Breaking Pill is a secret recipe of our Shen family. You can’t afford it with your limited wealth.”
Old man Qian's face froze, and he looked away awkwardly, but he still put on a forced smile.
"Oh, Fairy Chen, you're joking. Although I'm not as wealthy as you two, I can still afford a few spirit stones..."
Shen Zixuan glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't worry, it's just a little miasma. It won't kill you. It will just affect your strength."
After saying that, he ignored him, identified the direction, and walked forward protecting Meng Wan.
Shen Zihan followed closely behind, quickly catching up with her brother.
Old Man Qian had no choice but to sigh and resign himself to his fate as he followed the three men.
As the three of them moved forward, the miasma around them became thicker and thicker, and visibility became lower and lower, until they could hardly see their hands in front of them.
If Shen Zixuan hadn't occasionally thrown out a talisman from his hand to illuminate them, they would probably have been unable to move forward.
"Brother Zixuan, why is the miasma getting thicker?"
Meng Wan frowned and looked increasingly uneasy.
Shen Zixuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice.
"This miasma seems a bit strange. It doesn't seem to be naturally formed. It seems more like..."
"Like what?" Meng Wan was puzzled.
"It seems like something is controlling it."
Shen Zixuan's tone was cold, and his eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, as if he wanted to see through the thick fog.
Something is controlling the miasma?
Everyone was shocked when they heard the explanation. If that was the case, then the thing that controlled the miasma must be very powerful!
But at this moment, Old Man Qian suddenly stopped and asked with a pale face.
"My two fellow Daoists, did you hear any sound?"
Shen Zixuan, Meng Wan and Shen Zihan looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating that they did not hear any unusual sounds.
"Impossible..."
Old Man Qian muttered to himself, "I clearly heard someone talking..."
Shen Zixuan frowned slightly and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed and he shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow shot out from the thick fog and headed straight for everyone!
The black shadow was moving so fast that everyone didn't even have time to react before they felt a strong wind blowing in their faces and a fishy smell rushing straight to their foreheads.
"Sister Wan'er, step back quickly!"
Shen Zixuan flashed and stood in front of Meng Wan. The sword in his hand turned into a silver light and pierced the black shadow!
"clang!"
Amid the sound of metal clashing, sparks flew everywhere.
The black shadow was knocked back several steps, revealing its true form - it was actually a huge miasma beast!
This miasma beast is pitch black all over and looks like a tiger, but it has three heads, sharp fangs in its mouth, and a green light flashing in its eyes, which is chilling.
"Brother Zixuan, be careful!"
Meng Wan exclaimed, but could only stand there with an anxious look on her face.
Seeing this, Old Man Qian was also frightened and turned pale. He hid in the distance and trembled, not daring to step forward to help.
This miasma beast is very powerful, and even Shen Zixuan, with his outstanding swordsmanship, can hardly gain the upper hand.
The man and the beast fought fiercely for dozens of rounds. Suddenly, the miasma beast attacked Shen Zihan who was standing aside.
Shen Zihan was not careful and was hit on the shoulder by the claw of the miasma beast. He was immediately bleeding and staggered backward.
"Zi Han!"
Shen Zixuan roared angrily, and the sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, forcing back the miasma beast.
The miasma beast was afraid of the powerful force that suddenly erupted from Shen Zixuan. It growled, turned around, and disappeared into the thick fog.
"Chase!"
Shen Zixuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to chase after him, but Shen Zihan grabbed his sleeve.
"Brother, I'm fine, stop chasing me!"
Shen Zihan's face turned pale, and she endured the pain and said, "This miasma beast is very cunning. We are not familiar with this place, so we should not stay here for long."
Shen Zixuan looked at his sister's injured shoulder and his heart was boiling with anger, but he also knew that his sister was right, so he had to suppress his anger and nodded.
"My two fellow Taoists, let's get out of this damn place!"
Only after seeing the miasma beast retreat did Old Man Qian dare to come forward and said with lingering fear.
Shen Zixuan glanced at him coldly, ignored him, and looked at Shen Zihan, “Can you still hold on?”
Shen Zihan took the pill, adjusted his breathing for a while, and his complexion improved slightly.
"It's just a minor injury, I can handle it!"
