Chapter 164: All Smooth Roads
Compared to the rest of the six-person team, Yuan Ming was actually in a relatively safe environment.
He continued to move forward in the poisonous fog, with ravens cooperating with the investigation, and he could always be one step ahead of the crisis and make predictions in advance.
It's just that in this vast poisonous fog, there are so many poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants that they can't be killed at all.
After Yuan Ming finally killed all the poisonous bees that attacked him, he heard a dense rustling sound from the dense fog.
The Raven hovered in the fog, not seeing anything coming.
Yuan Ming was surprised, and suddenly felt the black toad in the spirit beast bag, and he was a little restless.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately patted the spirit beast bag and took it out.
Yuan Ming held the black toad in his hand, and only then did he feel that the reason why the black toad was restless was not because he sensed any danger, but because he was a little excited that was difficult to control.
"What does that mean?"
Before Yuan Ming could think clearly, the black toad had already jumped from his palm with both feet and jumped to the ground in front of him.
As the black toad landed, Yuan Ming's gaze also moved down.
At this time, he was surprised to find that where the black toad landed, within a radius of three feet around, a "white spot" suddenly appeared on the originally black ground.
This white spot is centered on the black toad, which is very abrupt.
Yuan Ming observed carefully for a while, only to find that the edges of the white spots were blurred, and it seemed that there were still slight changes.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted, and his brow furrowed.
On the ground that he thought was black moss, there was a layer of black moths that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The wings of these moths are almost flat on the ground, and they are not noticeable when they are flapped slightly, which is where the sound of rustling comes from.
Yuan Ming was about to remind the other members of the team when he heard the shouts of the giant man of the iron tower not far away: "What is this?" Better...... Uh, it's itchy, it's itchy......"
Where he couldn't see, a large black moth at the feet of the manggu suddenly flapped its wings and flew up from the ground.
Countless black moths pounced on him like a black whirlwind, and before he could react, they were densely wrapped in a dense body.
A large amount of black phosphorus powder was sprinkled on the black moth's body, which landed on the mangpoise's burly tower-like body, quickly corroding the cloth robe that wrapped his whole body.
After a few breaths, the clothes on the manggue's body became tattered, and a large area of blue-black tattoos appeared on the exposed skin.
A large number of black moths burrowed through the holes in their clothes.
In a panic, the reckless dolphin hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted it.
But as he moved, more and more black moths came up close to his body, and he felt that the skin of his whole body began to heat up, and an unbearable itch came from all over his body, and at the same time, he felt that the mana in his body was flowing out at a slow speed.
As these black moths became more and more attached, the speed of mana flow gradually increased.
"Drink!"
The mouth of the reckless dolphin suddenly let out a loud cry, and the tattoos on his body lit up, and as a layer of dark red light appeared, the color of the skin around his body quickly darkened, and the surface appeared like a crocodile-like leather armor pattern.
At the same time, his figure also became a little taller, and in his eyes, the originally black round pupils contracted and narrowed, turning into slender dark gold vertical pupils.
After being covered with animal skins, the itching on the mangpoise's body faded, the breath increased a lot, and the loss of mana stopped.
He raised his hand and took out a yellow paper talisman and threw it forward, and the talisman suddenly turned into a yellow light and fell into the ground in front of him in a flash.
In the next moment, the yellow paper talisman "hula" ignited a raging flame, spreading like a carpet, burning a large number of black moths to death.
On the other side, the rest of the people are also using their own means to kill the black moth.
Only Yuan Ming didn't make a move from beginning to end.
Because after the black toad is released, it is like a mouse thrown into the rice tank, and when the long tongue in the mouth stretches out, rolls and shrinks, a large black moth is swallowed by it.
The poisonous insects that others avoid have become a delicacy that black toads can't ask for.
When these black moths saw the black toad, it was like they had met a natural nemesis, and it was too late to dodge, let alone take the initiative to attack Yuan Ming.
So he walked very smoothly, and soon left the others far behind.
Leaving the area full of black moths, the mountain forest in front of him began to change, and instead of a towering giant tree, it grew a dwarf tree with black vines.
The black toad jumped to the edge of the low tree, and did not go straight in, but stopped vigilantly.
Seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately controlled the wandering soul crow to fly into the black forest and probe it.
Following the Raven's vision, he saw the twisted black vines intertwined inside, barely seeing a smooth path.
Underneath the black vines, there was a lot of fog everywhere, and the water vapor rose on the ground, and there seemed to be a lot of puddles and depressions.
The soul crow landed on a black vine, its dark eyes staring down carefully, trying to see as clearly as possible inside.
The moment it turned its head, a black poisonous snake with the thickness of an arm suddenly attacked from the vine not far away, revealing terrifying fangs from its wide bloody mouth, and biting down on the soul crow.
Fortunately, Yuan Ming reacted extremely quickly, controlled the soul crow to wave its wings and dodged quickly, and flew into the air.
Yuan Ming was taken aback by this sudden attack, and when he followed the soul crow's line of sight to look carefully again, there was a scalp-tingling scene in the woods below.
I saw that on the large black vines, black poisonous snakes hung down, with their mouths open, swaying like willow branches, but they did not have the slightest sense of gentle wind and drizzle, but looked extremely terrifying.
"How the hell is going to get past this place?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while.
It's not that he's afraid that he won't be able to defeat these poisonous snakes, it's just that these black things are no different from those vines at all, and if he doesn't move around the vines, he can't tell them apart at all.
Besides, there are puddles and depressions under your feet, and you can't keep any moths in them.
Just as he hesitated, the black toad suddenly jumped on the instep of his feet, and the vines sticking out of the bulge on his back wrapped around his calves and tugged hard.
"You mean, let me go with you?" Yuan Ming wondered.
The black toad let go of Yuan Ming's trouser leg and jumped into the black forest in front of him first.
Yuan Ming glanced back at the direction he came from, and after a little hesitation, he followed.
As soon as he stepped into the black forest, Yuan Ming noticed a moist and soft touch under his feet, as if he was stepping on the turf growing on the tidal flats, and there was a feeling of slight sagging.
Hearing the sound of "poof", the black toad in front of it jumped, and a fierce man plunged into the nearest puddle.
There was a series of blisters in the puddle, but there was no shadow of the black toad for a long time.
Yuan Ming waited for a while, and saw that in the already deep puddle, black water like ink suddenly turned up, and poisons like eels came out of it one after another.
"Well done!" Yuan Ming praised in a low voice.
At this time, in a puddle a little far away from this puddle, black water also "gurgled and gurgled", and a large amount of eel poison also came out of the belly.
And after that, the figure of the black toad also emerged from the water, waving the vines on its back, as if beckoning to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming immediately realized that the black toad was asking him to follow him.
He only had to follow the edge of the puddle that the black toad had cleared, and he could ignore the possible dangers on the ground, and only need to concentrate on dealing with the black snake in the tree.
As soon as he thought of this, Yuan Ming held the Cold Star Sword in one hand, and pointed at his eyebrows with the other.
Two more black soul crows flew out of his eyebrows, surround the top of his head from the previous one.
The three soul crows helped him take care of the left and right and the rear respectively, while Yuan Ming himself paid attention to what he was looking for, so he no longer had a blind spot, and he didn't have to worry about the sneak attack of the black snake at all.
Yuan Ming continued to walk towards the depths of the Black Forest, and this arrangement was surprisingly useful.
Now, no matter what angle those black snakes attacked him, he could immediately spot it, and he could easily slash it with a swing of his sword.
And when he passed through some places where the ground water overflowed, almost equivalent to a swamp, Yuan Ming inserted the Cold Star Sword into the ground, and released the extremely cold qi under the urging of mana, and the ground water liquid would freeze instantly.
With the cooperation of the soul crow and the black toad, this black vine jungle, which was originally full of dangers, has completely become a smooth road for Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming passed easily without paying any price, except for consuming some divine soul power and mana.
The other teams were not so lucky, and lost a lot of people in the same forest alone.
……
After Yuan Ming walked out of this black vine jungle, he did not rush to continue his journey, but took back the two soul crows, leaving only one and the black toad to guard outside.
He himself sat down cross-legged, holding a spirit stone in each hand, and began to breathe and recover.
However, it didn't take long for a sudden sound to come from the mountains and forests, and the sound was huge.
Yuan Ming hurriedly got up and controlled the soul crow to fly in the direction of the source of the sound.
It's just that before the soul crow can detect anything, on the other side, there are already eager footsteps, rushing towards him.
Yuan Ming held the Cold Star Sword in his hand, nervously guarded.
I saw a slender figure rushing out of the thick fog, and it was Bai Rong.
Behind her, a large black shadow could be seen, chasing after her in a peculiar way of action.
Bai Rong's face was covered with black veil, and she couldn't see her expression clearly, but she could also see her embarrassment from her messy hair.
Yuan Ming immediately ran to the side, hid behind an ancient tree, and looked this way.
I saw that in the fog behind Bai Rong, a golden python with the thickness of a sea bowl mouth and a length of seven or eight zhang rushed out, and its long body twisted and the speed was fast.
It has brilliant markings all over its body, the huge python head stands tall and erect, the bloody mouth is wide open, two pairs of snow-white fangs face each other, and a red letter swallows.
"Golden Flower Poison Python." Yuan Ming recognized the comer at a glance.
