Chapter 147: The Source of a Hundred Poisons
On the edge of the Hundred Poison Swamp, on a boulder at the top of a hill, Peng Liang and Gu Changsheng stood here looking at the 'Devouring Immortal Valley' in the distance.
The sky here is gray, which makes people feel very oppressive, and from time to time there is a gust of wind blowing from the direction of 'Devouring Immortal Valley', which makes people feel chilled when it blows on their bodies.
At the foot of the mountain is a swamp overgrown with grass, with a faint small oasis in the middle of it, stretching in the direction of the 'Valley of Devouring Immortals'.
Gu Changsheng looked in the direction of the entrance of the valley, only to see that his eyes were boundless, there was white mist everywhere, and occasionally a small tree stood alone on the oasis.
There was a faint smell of decay in the air, and above the swamp there was a strange gray mist that seemed to be alive, changing shape with the wind, occasionally covering a small tree, and before long something fell from the tree, making the place more and more mysterious.
Gu Changsheng frowned, turned his face, and saw that Old Man Peng Liang's face was also a little solemn, so he took the initiative to open his mouth and said tentatively:
"If I'm not mistaken, it's 'Immortal Devourer', a poisonous insect that is so tiny that it is impossible to see clearly with the naked eye, they like to devour aura, and if a cultivator accidentally sucks them into their bodies, they will devour them from their bodies."
"But these poisonous insects can only roam around this poisonous swamp, and as soon as they leave the fog here, they will die."
Peng Liang nodded and said, "It seems that you also have research on poisonous insects, so you can live here longer!" ”
"But I want to warn you, don't try to catch the 'Eaters', the real scary thing about them is far from the little thing you know. I don't want to disclose more specific information, anyway, you have to do it yourself, your own life is the most important! ”
After speaking, Peng Liang showed a secretive expression, and Gu Changsheng didn't ask any more questions when he saw this.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart what the other party's mouth meant by 'terrible'.
Since ancient times, there have been many vicious things that no one knows how to produce in the ancient dead Ze, where there is a notoriety of "getting in and out of the city".
This 'devouring immortal' is one of them. This kind of magical thing that looks like an insect but not a worm, like a fog and not a fog, naturally likes to pursue creatures with aura.
The really scary thing about them is after absorbing a lot of aura. That's when they become a parasite, a parasite like the roots of a tree.
This 'root' secretes a toxin that eats up all the aura and flesh in the living beings' bodies. Then these 'roots' will burst out and turn into a puddle of liquid, a puddle of liquid that traps the necromancers!
When a lot of liquid comes together, it turns into a kaleidoscopic monster, known as the 'Onidou', and is known for its variety of changes.
The 'Ghost Pocket' is a product of the Ghost Plague, but it is not a big culprit, but it is just good at changing its body shape and is very tempting.
And when this monster encounters a ghost, it will evolve into a ghost creature called 'Baixiao', which will eat people, and then turn into the appearance of the person who was eaten.
When it is serious, there will be a terrible scene where the people and animals of the whole village, the whole township and even the whole city will become 'Baixiao'.
In more severe cases, a terrible 'plague' will be formed.
Think about it, what a terrible state it would be if hell was empty of ghosts, but the earth was a scene of prosperity and prosperity, and the entire six realms were completely chaotic.
In his previous life, Gu Changsheng was sent to the human world and had seen the horror of the 'Xiao Disaster'. When he led the fire of heaven to descend and burn everything, the earth fell into a dead silence.
It is only after tens of thousands of years that a green shoot grows in that land......
'Immortal Devourer' was a premonition before the appearance of the Ghost Calamity, and in that Valley of Devouring Immortals, which was buried deep in the thick fog, it must have covered up a shocking tragedy.
At this moment, Peng Liang looked deeply at the Devouring Immortal Valley, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness, a trace of longing, and even a trace of fanaticism in his eyes.
However, these emotions were not shown on his face, and he said to Gu Changsheng quietly: "The source of the Hundred Poison Swamp is the 'Immortal Devouring Valley' in front of you, this should not be like this, it is a disaster created by the 'Immortal Sect', your task is not to prevent the things inside from coming out, but to prevent the people outside from entering." ”
"Am I right to stop the 'Eater of Immortals' from becoming a 'Ghost Pocket'?" Gu Changsheng replied with a light smile.
There was a commotion around him, and Peng Liang's eyes widened in shock, staring at Gu Changsheng.
His face was full of doubts, doubts about Gu Changsheng's identity, doubts about Gu Changsheng's purpose, and doubts about why Elder Li had sent a promising Lei Linggen cultivator here.
Gu Changsheng didn't care about Peng Liang's reaction, but continued to say lightly: "Actually, the above meaning, you know it very well in your heart, sending me to this death border region is nothing more than two possibilities. One is to entrust me with the task of going into the 'Valley of Devouring Immortals' to get something, and the other is that someone wants to wait for an opportunity to get rid of me, but anyway, the people stationed here are all foundation building monks, and they are all eager to leave here, and they will not refuse such a great opportunity. ”
Speaking of this, Gu Changsheng paused for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled, revealing a hint of sneer, and said, "But I expected that Senior Brother Peng was not the one who wanted to harm me, so I would say this to you so bluntly." You've been guarding the 'Hundred Poison Swamp' for nearly a hundred years, so much so that your body has been eroded by poison, and even if you can leave this place, you won't live long! ”
"Actually, I noticed this 'Hundred Poison Swamp' a long time ago, and I also specially collected the information here in the Tianji Pavilion. Don't look at the notoriety of this piece of death now, but a hundred years ago, there was a sect called the 'Xiaoxian Sect' here, which was about the same size as the current Jiuxiao Sect, but for some reason it became like this later. ”
"I think Senior Brother Peng is a person who has seen the 'Xiaoxian Sect' before, so he has this feeling."
Hearing this, Peng Liang's stunned look had disappeared from his face, and at this time he had changed to a cold expression, and said, "Since Senior Brother Gu is an understanding person, I won't say anything else." But there is one thing I hope you can do, I don't want to delve into your identity, I don't want to meddle in your grievances, and as for my affairs, I don't want you to continue to inquire! ”
Gu Changsheng nodded, and said with a light smile: "This is very good, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and it is enough to have a tea relationship between you and me." However, there is a reluctant request below, if there is any need for poison refining in the future, I hope to exchange some things with Senior Brother Peng. ”
"Yes, I'm always waiting for you!" Peng nodded, and then waved his right hand, sacrificing his "White Wind Flag", turning into a white light and running away.
A moment later, the white light disappeared into the mist above the 'Hundred Poison Swamp'.
On the boulder of this hill, there was suddenly an empty silence, only between the water and grass, suddenly a blister appeared out of nowhere, and a "grunt" sound, spread far away here.
"Smack", Gu Changsheng slapped him in front of him, only to see a little more blood in the palm of his hand, and a blue-blue mosquito.
Gu Changsheng took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the cap, wiped a little on his body, and then said to himself: "This ghost place is indeed dangerous, put a few prohibitions here, and then find a place to live." ”
When the wind blows through the swamp, a small flag will appear every few miles, which is a small prohibition used to block outsiders from entering, only to prevent gentlemen and not villains.
Another gust of wind blew.
The aquatic plants fluttered under his feet, the water rippled, and at a glance, it was boundless, and a black ghost qi rose in the 'Devouring Immortal Valley', Gu Changsheng didn't dare to stay any longer, and quickly turned around and left.
The ghost mist emitted a faint blood-colored light, and the ghostly light flowed, gradually covering the foothold of the two just now.
Gu Changsheng was high in the sky, standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the strange ghost domain in front of him.
The sky also darkened, and then a huge miasma of thick gray mist, rising from the valley, stretched left and right, tangled and surging with the ghost mist, like a monster that could not see the edge.
This is the most dangerous area of the Yunlong Mountain Range, 'Devouring Immortal Valley'!
