Su Yan and her group walked straight towards the light source not far away with their oil lamps. It was a door. The five of them walked out. It wasn't until the pale moonlight above them hit their faces that they finally arrived at the Netherland.
"It's such a heavy fog." Ye Jun couldn't help but say.
"Everyone, be careful and don't get separated." Ji He reminded.
Under the thick fog, the moist soil paved a dirt road, and patches of dark green ferns cast strange shadows under the pale moonlight, like ghostly fire leading to the underworld.
Ji Chenshu walked at the front of the team, followed by Su Yan and Lu Zebai behind.
"Why hasn't there been any movement after walking for so long?" Ye Jun said in a strange tone.
"Do you think the smell here is a bit pungent?" Ji He frowned.
"Wait a minute." Su Yan suddenly spoke, holding an oil lamp and squatting down beside her, frowning as she observed the ferns growing on the ground.
"What's wrong?" Everyone stopped.
"These plants have mutated." Su Yan judged.
Hearing this, Ye Jun also squatted down and took a closer look, "Really! There is nothing strange about this groundroot at first glance, but if you look closely, it seems to have a few more black lines on its rhizome."
After speaking, Ye Jun took a whiff and then said with an eyebrow, "The source of that strange smell seems to be these plants."
"There is bad news." Su Yan looked calm.
"What?"
"We have been poisoned since we entered this quiet land, but the symptoms are not obvious yet."
The mutated ferns are highly toxic, and the smell is emitted in the air, hidden under the thick fog. As long as they are still breathing in this place, they cannot avoid being poisoned.
"Do you need me to help you detoxify?" Ji He was about to pose to summon the contracted beast.
"No need for now. Even if the poison is detoxified now, we still have to breathe, and we will still inhale the toxic gas again." So Su Yan was very calm.
"I should have worn a gas mask earlier! Damn, I was careless!" Ye Jun said in a somewhat excited tone.
Even though Su Yan's tone of describing this poisonous gas was very relaxed, Ye Jun knew in his heart that this poisonous gas seemed simple, but in fact it would lead to the body's meridians and phagocytes, and it would be extremely painful when it attacks later.
Grandpa said that the more inconspicuous the poison, the more terrifying it is.
"The poison is not scary, we have Ji He. The main thing is that we are lost now..."
Lu Zebai said helplessly: "Do you feel that this fork in the road is very familiar?"
Ji Chenshu made a mark in advance, and they circled the same place at least three times.
No matter which path you choose, you will eventually come back to this fork in the road.
When Lu Zebai said this, everyone had clearly felt that their spirits were a little slack. Affected by the poisonous gas, their observation skills had become extremely low.
Ye Jun was already shaking his head a little, while Ji He's left and right eyelids were fighting.
Ji Chenshu and Lu Zebai could still stand upright.
Su Yan is the one who seems to be in the best condition, always alert and awake.
Generally, at this time, you can best tell who has the strongest mental power. The stronger the mental power, the less affected by the poisonous gas.
No one had the intention to pay attention to others, they just felt that their feet were heavy.
When everyone was in confusion, the guide's indistinguishable voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, you have reached the center of the netherworld. The key to passing this level is to break through this toxic fog. I wish you all the best." Good luck everyone.”
The guide's voice slowly dissipated in the air. At this moment, Su Yan raised her head and looked at the sky. The sky that was originally covered by the thick fog gradually emerged, and the moonlight shone through the gap.
The ferns illuminated by the moonlight began to grow wildly!
The black lines on the roots were very prominent, and the colorless poisonous gas originally emitted from the ferns suddenly became very strong, lingering in the air, and you could even see streams of green smoke.
The toxicity has become more intense!
"Everyone, cover your mouth and nose!" Ji Chenshu quickly warned.
Only then did everyone react, pinching their noses and covering their mouths.
The time of holding my breath passed for a long time, until the thick fog above my head completely covered the moonlight again, and the ferns stopped growing.
Everyone finally let out a heavy breath.
"Moonlight is the nourishment for these plants..." Su Yan murmured.
His eyes fell on the ferns again, and he carefully distinguished them, including earth root grass, cold spirit ghost flower, ink leaf grass...
These plants all have one thing in common: they are full of yin energy and only grow at night.
The source of the toxic fog is also the ferns that grow wildly in the moonlight.
Su Yan glanced around again and couldn't pick out a single positive plant.
"So that's it..."
In order to verify her suspicion, Su Yan ignored the dirty mud and lay down, placing her ears on the ground.
A faint sound of snoring and breathing fell into Su Yan's ears.
Everyone was sober after the strange movement just now. Looking at Su Yan's strange behavior, Lu Zebai asked: "Boss? Did you discover something?"
Su Yan stood up slowly, wiped her fingers stained by the mud, and said lightly: "This quiet land has a huge poisonous beast."
"Moonlight is yin, these ferns use moonlight as nourishment, and poisonous beasts feed on these poisonous plants."
All in all, the boss of the netherworld is a poisonous beast. If you want to clear the first level and get the flag, you should defeat this poisonous beast. If your guess is correct, the clearance flag should be in the poisonous beast's cave.
Ji Chenshu nodded in agreement, "It should be living nearby, everyone is ready to fight."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Zebai also became excited. Is it finally his turn to appear?
Lu Zebai and Ye Jun both made summoning gestures, and a five-pointed star formation slowly appeared under their feet, and their contracted beasts also emerged from the formation.
Lu Zebai's snowy white tiger, high level seven.
Ye Jun's rock-armored giant turtle, high-level second stage.
The Frost Condor described by Ji Chen is at the first stage of the Earth Stage.
Ji He didn't fall behind either. As the five-pointed star array appeared under his feet, a pink-white spiritual beast with two horns and a furry body emerged from the array's eyes.
He made a sound of "Ouch" and rubbed Ji He beside him.
Su Yan glanced at Ji He in surprise. Her contracted beast turned out to be the Colorful Nebula Beast.
No wonder Lu Zebai said earlier that poisoning is not terrible, since Ji He is here.
The first time Su Yan saw the Nebula Beast in this world was during Professor Situ's lecture at Cangming College. At that time, it was still 3D projection.
This time I saw Ji He's contracted beast with my own eyes, and that was when I saw this auspicious beast in the true sense.
One of the most awesome types of spiritual beasts in the healing system, the Nebula Beast, the rarest species among the Nebula Beasts, the Colorful Nebula Beast.
It is rumored that the colorful nebula beast at the level of a mythical beast can not only detoxify hundreds of poisons, but also make human flesh and bones come alive!
It can be said to be a heaven-defying existence.
However, Ji He's colorful nebula beast is still in the growth stage and is only at the high level.
Healing spirit beasts are the slowest in promotion. Ji He has already surpassed more than half of his peers. He can be said to be extremely talented.
