Chapter 163: Acting Separately
Fourteen full-fledged members of the White Nights Coalition were also dispersed, and every two joined a makeshift squad.
Tuozhe, a young man in white, walked into Yuan Ming's team, and smiled meaningfully at him, and the deputy alliance leader also happened to be in their team.
Subsequently, the seven teams officially set off and walked towards the Devil's Cry Gorge.
The narrow Devil's Cry Gorge is a hundred zhang long, and the outermost section is unusual, and when it is halfway through, there is already a white mist in the canyon, and the further you go in, the thicker it becomes.
"Don't be nervous, we've already probed here, it's just a normal fog. The color of the poisonous miasma is yellowish, and when you officially enter the Snake King Valley, you will see it. The timely reminder dispelled everyone's doubts.
The members of the various teams also began to whisper and communicate in small voices.
"A few fellow Daoists, report your name, and there is a name to greet you when you enter it. Disperse the alliance in the lower white night, Tuozhe. In Yuan Ming's six-person team, the young man in white took the initiative to speak.
"Hagon." Yuan Ming was the first to respond.
"I'm a reckless dolphin." The giant man of the iron tower said in a loud voice.
"My name is Bai Rong." The woman in the black gauze said softly, her voice quite pleasant.
The young man in the black shirt was the last to speak, but his voice was as hoarse as that of a septuagenarian.
"Kunsha." He was concise and to the point, spitting out two words.
Everyone is considered to know each other.
The distance was not far, and everyone soon reached the end of the canyon.
Yuan Ming raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and what he saw at a glance was not a narrow and cramped valley, but an open ancient mountain forest.
The trees in the mountains and forests are towering, each one is more than a hundred feet high, and some strange thing is that their canopies are extremely high, almost all of them are concentrated at the top of the trees, and from a distance, they look like a towering umbrella cover.
And within the range of dozens of zhang high under the tree, there was a thick white mist.
The one near the canyon is still white, and further inside, it is already too thick to melt into a milky white.
Without waiting for the illusion to speak, Yuan Ming had already taken the lead and broke into the dense fog.
The mist that filled the air instantly obscured his figure.
"Come back, don't act without permission." Seeing this, Phantom immediately shouted.
Tuozhe's expression also changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Yuan Ming to be so reckless, and couldn't help but secretly curse "idiot".
The official members of the White Night Dispersal Alliance of the other teams frowned, and the rest of the temporary members had a playful look on their faces, with a lively mentality.
Fortunately, after the phantom time spoke, Yuan Ming quickly retreated.
"What's wrong with you, aren't you going in?" He looked surprised, as if he didn't know he had made a mistake.
"The miasma is dangerous, don't act without permission." Phantom felt a little embarrassed to be gathered by the eyes of several other teams, but he still suppressed his anger and admonished.
"Didn't you say that the white mist is not poisonous?" Yuan Ming blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously.
"Can you run around without poison?" In the surrounding procession, some people looked at him like a fool.
"All actions are under command, no matter how blind you run like this, if you are in danger, no one will save you." Phantom Time frowned and reminded.
Yuan Ming didn't say a word, and immediately retreated to the team.
His gaze subconsciously glanced upward, only to see that at the upper end of the mist, a black crow circled slightly, silently spreading its wings and flying into the dense fog.
His seemingly reckless move was precisely to be able to silently release the soul crow to help explore the way, the mist was a natural barrier, otherwise he would not be able to do it without attracting anyone's attention.
With his current cultivation and soul power, it is no longer difficult to maintain a soul crow for a long time.
After this episode, Phantom Time began to divide the exploration areas for each team in order.
Different teams, in different directions, are responsible for the exploration and search of a fan-shaped area.
Yuan Ming's team had to go all the way to the left side of the valley, find the left side wall of the valley, and then spread and probe in the direction of the adjacent team within the limit of the left side of the valley.
"All teams, keep a hundred feet apart, and set off." Phantom time gives an order.
All the teams began to move one after another, rushing towards their mission area.
Yuan Ming's team did not rush to explore the valley, but took the lead along the critical area of the white fog and the yellow poisonous fog, all the way to the left, until they found the boundary of the valley, and then began to explore inward.
After walking all the way, Yuan Ming realized that the area of this Snake King Valley was far larger than he had imagined, and a total of forty-two people were thrown into it, just like forty-two stones thrown into a vast lake.
It is no wonder that the White Night Scattered Alliance wants to recruit so many temporary members by means of concealment.
"Everyone, spread out and search. If there is danger, don't forget to shout loudly, remind each other, and support each other. Phantom Time spoke.
After everyone said goodbye, they each pulled a little distance and walked into the depths of the valley.
In order to easily identify the location, Yuan Ming took the initiative to choose the side close to the cliff wall of the valley.
Be careful to channel your mana into the Miasma Avoidance Orb.
In the next moment, a circle of glass-colored light emanated from the miasma bead, spreading to all sides.
Under the reflection of the glazed light, the surrounding fog was still pervasive, but the viscous and dense feeling seemed to ease a little.
At first entering the fog, there is nothing abnormal, but the view is blocked.
Even though they were monks, they still couldn't see through the fog.
Yuan Ming's eyesight is slightly stronger than others, and he can only see things within a range of ten zhang, and he can't see anything clearly no matter how far he goes, and his divine sense exploration range is not as good as visual, plus there are soul crows exploring the way around, so he doesn't use it.
And although everyone distanced themselves and could no longer see each other's figures, they could still see the faint light of the miasma beads.
Yuan Ming walked in the mist for a long time before he finally saw the poisonous miasma in Phantom Shi's mouth.
The color was a smoky yellow, incompatible with the white mist, and the junction was distinct, as if there was an invisible wall.
"It's about to enter the range of poisonous miasma, so take precautions and don't be attacked by poisonous insects and poisonous beasts." At this time, the reminder of the phantom time came from a distance.
Hearing his reminder, everyone cheered up.
Kun Sha, a young man in black, untied a black porcelain bottle from his waist and uncorked it.
At the mouth of the bottle, a bright red ant the size of a peanut grain and a bright red color slowly crawled out, jumped to the ground, and crawled into the poisonous mist miasma.
Yuan Ming glanced up at the sky, and a black raven spread its wings and glided, taking the first step into the poisonous miasma.
The fog inside was thicker, and the view was even more obstructed than before.
The crow was not attacked, and Yuan Ming followed in.
As soon as he entered the yellow miasma, he felt a slight pinprick pain on his bare skin, and after walking a few steps, there was a burning sensation in his nose.
Yuan Ming checked his status and confirmed that it was only a slight reaction, not poisoning, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the fog, I could faintly hear the faint dry coughs of others, as if their throats were not very comfortable.
At this moment, Yuan Ming's perspective of the soul crow suddenly came from the sea, and a small dot of black pressure in the dense fog was pressing towards them.
At the same time, Kunsha's shouts were heard in the distance:
"Poison is coming."
Not long after the words fell, there was a dense sound of flapping wings in the mist, and immediately after, a large black dot broke through the poisonous mist, densely packed, and there were thousands of them, rushing towards them.
Yuan Ming took a closer look and found that it was a group of walnut-sized poisonous bees, covered with black and yellow fluff and a sharp stinger on its tail.
"Killer wasps, highly poisonous." Yuan Ming recognized it at a glance.
The book says that this kind of poisonous bee can be found in many places in southern Xinjiang, but this size is far from what is described in the book, but it is mostly large.
Yuan Ming's eyes froze, he turned his hand and took out the Cold Star Sword, and he didn't use mana to urge it, but just relied on the cold aura emitted by the sword body itself, constantly slashing the poisonous bees flying around.
Where the sword qi passed, even if it was not killed, the poisonous bees that were too close were also eroded by the cold qi, and they fell stiffly one after another.
was kicked by Yuan Ming one by one, and stepped on it to "crackle" and burst.
In the fog, everyone also took action.
Phantom raised his palm and waved it forward, and a crimson light lit up in his palm, and a large piece of fire gushed out of it, instantly engulfing half of the poisonous bees that rushed towards him.
Bai Rong wore a pair of black gloves on her hands, which seemed to be made of metal, and there was a faint black mist on them, and every time she waved her palm, she brought up a wisp of smoke to envelop those poisonous bees.
Within a few moments, the killer bees stopped flying and fell to the ground.
Kun Sha opened a red porcelain bottle again, and a group of white poisonous insects also flew out of it, fighting poison with poison, fighting with tiger tail bees, and killing and injuring each other.
And at his feet, the red ant was eating frantically, devouring the corpses of the tiger tail bees that had fallen from the ground.
The tall and strong man, on the other hand, was more direct, wielding a mace in his hand and wielding it vigorously, constantly striking at the venomous bees that came at him.
In the "bang" explosion, one by one the tiger tail bees burst open, splashing clouds of blood mist.
These small things, which were not even a first-level and lower-level fierce beast, only slightly hindered the speed of their respective advances, and did not pose much danger to them.
It took a little effort, and everyone wiped out all the poisonous bees that came to attack one after another.
Compared to their side, the other teams are in a similar situation, but there are some unlucky guys.
One of the teams was unharmed during the march and was not attacked by any poisonous insects or beasts.
At first, they thought they were lucky enough, but as they walked, some of them noticed that something was wrong, and their necks were inexplicably swollen.
By the time they noticed the anomaly, it was too late.
In the team of six people, except for two official members and one temporary member of the White Night Scattered Alliance, the rest of the temporary members tried to force out the poison in their necks with their mana because they mistakenly thought that they were poisoned.
But in fact, they strayed into a breeding area of the gray haze poisonous mushroom and were parasitized by the spores of the poisonous mushroom.
When they try to force out the toxin with their mana, they deliver a large amount of nutrients to the spores that live on their necks, causing them to grow faster until they mature and shatter, and their necks are all blown off.
Another team broke into an area where poison ivy was growing.
Those green vines covered with poisonous thorns were very sensitive to the perception of living creatures, and the moment they entered, they all pounced on them like demon vines with spiritual intelligence.
The overwhelming demon vines surged in, and the two temporary members were strangled in an instant.
After the others recovered from the initial panic, they immediately fought back one after another, and finally managed to come out.
