Chapter 182 - Chapter 189: The Old Poison's Vile Legacy of Ten Thousand Years

The Sunset Forest looked very calm, but there seemed to be a layer of a faint, thin mist drifting in the forest. What made the crowd's faces even more grave was that this thin mist was gradually fading and disappearing in the distance on the path they had come from. And continuing forward, it had a tendency to become more and more dense. Even in the distance, it was like a cloud had fallen in the forest, so much so that even the vegetation could not be seen clearly. And the color of this cloud was not just white. In the distance, there were even a variety of colors appearing.

Some fine dust was drifting in the air. These dust particles were of a faint white color and were not dense, but they were very stably floating. One must know that this was in a great forest! The air should be much better than the outside world. These so fine dust particles were clearly not something that should appear under normal circumstances.

Gu Yuena continued to explain, "Miasma is generally a poisonous gas that is gradually formed after the bodies of plants and animals have rotted and have not been dealt with, and have not been blown by the wind or washed by the rain. I have also seen it in the Star Dou Great Forest, but I have never seen it like you said, with such a large coverage, and even with the existence of colors."

"Different miasmas have different toxicities. At best, it makes people dizzy, nauseous, vomit, and have diarrhea. At worst, it can be fatal. It seems that the danger that I and the Snow Empress had sensed before is related to these miasmas. I just don't know where the miasma that covers such a large area came from. These poison miasmas are no small matter. It is no longer something you can fight against with your own soul power."

Huo Yuhao呵呵 (hēhē - hehe) laughed. Miasma? If it were the Huo Gua and Wang Qiu'er from the original world line, they might still have had to spend some effort. But now...

"Master can't solve these miasmas?" The Snow Empress glanced at Gu Yuena with a playful look. As a spirit nurtured by heaven and earth, she on the contrary did not have much reverence for the dragon clan. She went forward and took Huo Yuhao's hand, a trace of a cold qi beginning to fill the air around her.

"Hmph, a mere poison miasma. How can it be a problem for this king?" Seeing this scene, Gu Yuena, for some reason, her heart was extremely vexed. She said in a cold tone.

"You two, let's make a move together. There must be something you like inside," Huo Yuhao had a headache. The Snow Empress's attitude, ever since she had shared her own memory, had become strangely odd. Now she even dared to provoke the Silver Dragon King, this common lord of soul beasts.

What Huo Yuhao didn't know was that in the original world line, the little Snow Woman had looked up to Huo Gua as a father. Gu Yuena had later become Tang Wulin's wife. Huo Gua's wife, Tang Wutong, was in turn Tang Wulin's sister. In that case, Gu Yuena had become the Snow Empress's Master plus aunt...

So in this life, the Snow Empress would absolutely, absolutely not be someone's daughter again!

Of course, with the Snow Empress's pride, she naturally would not say these things out loud.

"Yuhao, use Bing'er's Domain of Eternal Freeze," the Snow Empress held his hand tightly. A soft smile for the first time appeared on her cold face.

Huo Yuhao understood in his heart. The Snow Empress was going to display the Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain with him. He immediately circulated his soul power and switched to his third martial soul.

"Your control over the elements is not yet up to par. I will amplify your elemental affinity for you," Gu Yuena suddenly appeared on Huo Yuhao's other side and, without any argument, took his other hand, saying with a blank expression.

"Master, just me and Yuhao are enough," the Snow Empress seemed a little dissatisfied, but her cold, pretty face did not show any special expression.

"Snow Empress, just me and Yuhao can also do it," Gu Yuena also felt a nameless fire rise in her heart and said, not yielding at all.

"Sigh..." Huo Yuhao had a headache. "Let's do it together. The sooner we solve it, the sooner it's over."

Just as the two girls were competing, at the side, Ye Linlin and Meng Hongchen could see a thick resentment in the eyes of the five girls from Cui Yejie's side...

Xie Huanyue had long since gotten used to it and was not surprised. He was eating the roasted leg in his hand with great mouthfuls.

Then, the strongest Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain in history appeared. An ultimate cold intent, with Huo Yuhao's trio as the center, instantly spread in all four directions. Under Gu Yuena's terrifying amplification, this domain far surpassed the power of the ultimate ice and snow. The poison miasma that was blocking in front of Huo Yuhao and the others was instantly frozen, turning into ice crystals that fell to the ground one after another.

Huo Yuhao's companions had also turned into ice sculptures.

"Did we overdo it a little?" A black line was on Huo Yuhao's head. He walked over and undid their frozen state one by one. He only wished that the one move just now hadn't frozen the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The effect of the Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain could not be maintained for too long. As long as the cold intent melted, the surrounding dense miasma would immediately re-condense.

The vegetation living in the poison miasma was also clearly different from the outer perimeter of the Sunset Forest. Among these plants, many of them actually looked colorful. This brilliant and vivid color in plants represented a potent poison. This was common sense that a normal person would understand.

The crowd continued to advance rapidly into the depths of the poison miasma with the help of the effect of the Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain. This was simply a seven-colored world. The plants on the ground were colorful, almost covering the entire surface of the ground. The land could not be seen. Trees were on the contrary very few here. They should have all been corroded by the potent poison.

In the core area of this poison miasma region, the poison miasma on the ground was of a seven-colored color, but it was just a faint cloud of mist. Although it would have some impact on one's vision, it was absolutely not to the point of blocking one's vision. Compared to the thick poison cloud above, it was naturally much thinner.

Along the way, they were all especially careful. The cold qi under the Snow Empress's feet condensed. With every step she sold out, a layer of frost would condense on the ground, isolating them from the plants.

While advancing, they also saw some hair-raising scenes: from time to time, some huge bones would appear on the ground. And these bones also were of a seven-colored color. This was clearly not some plant, but was left by a soul beast that had been poisoned to death.

"Kacha!" A strange sound suddenly came from not far away, which startled Nanmen Yun'er. The partners almost simultaneously gathered their soul power and looked towards the direction the sound had come from.

They saw a huge skeleton tilting to one side. The bottom was clearly already corroded and brittle. Immediately after, there was a loud "boom." The huge skeleton had already fallen to the ground, shattering into countless pieces. The seven-colored color on it also then became more and more dense.

Huo Yuhao's companions, seeing this scene, couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. They all understood that the potent poison here could actually even corrode bones until they were gradually brittle and then melted! One can imagine that in these seven-colored plants, who knows how many soul beast corpses were buried!

The bones of a soul beast, as the hardest part of their body, some could even be used as a special material by humans. Among them, the most representative was undoubtedly the two dragon spears that Gu Yuena was holding in her hands at this time. But in this world of potent poison, it seemed that everything would be corroded. The miasma left by Old Dugu was too poisonous.

Ju Zi couldn't help but murmur, "These soul beast corpses themselves are already the nourishment for the poison miasma. And then the poison miasma will continuously attack and kill other creatures, and even the birds that pass through the sky. In this way, these poison miasmas will become stronger and stronger. Perhaps after thousands of years, the Sunset Forest will have to turn into a forest of poison miasma. This is really... too terrifying."

Fortunately, this time when they had come to explore for treasures, there were Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress, as well as Huo Yuhao with his Kamui space. If they had rashly broken in on their own, they wouldn't have known how they had died.

The group went straight forward. The surroundings were all a sheet of seven colors. At this time, Huo Yuhao could only rely on luck and continuous probing to find the destination of his trip.

Gu Yuena's half-step God-King realm spiritual cultivation was not just for show. In less than a quarter of an hour, her beautiful eyes were the first to light up. "Found it. The poison miasma over there has changed. It seems the toxicity is stronger. And behind that patch of poison miasma, I saw a thick poison cloud sinking. It's very likely the valley you're looking for. Let's go!"

"Let's go!" Huo Yuhao was overjoyed. Even without a god's map, with a god's own self here, it was the same.

Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress once again displayed the Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain, instantly freezing the moisture contained in the surrounding poison miasma, and then controlling them to impact outwards. They had finally made the road ahead a little cleaner.

Ice and fire had a considerably good restrictive and destructive effect on miasma. If he, the Snow Empress, and Gu Yuena were to display the Snow Dance Polar Ice Domain with all their might, they could bring about a large-scale snowstorm. If they were to carry out this kind of sweep here for a long time, it wouldn't take too long for them to make the poison miasma here disappear. At that time, as long as they found the source left by Dugu Bo, this land of disaster formed by nature would no longer devour life.

Gu Yuena directly added the amplification of the wind element and the space element to the crowd. In just less than half a minute's time, finally, from afar, they saw a world that was different from before.

An emerald-green luster covered the great earth. One after another of emerald-green plants looked messy, but they had completely covered a large patch of land. A faint, emerald-green mist was steaming upwards and then gradually spreading outwards.

These Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers, cultivated by the Old Poison from ten thousand years ago, had been extending to both sides all along. They were not tall, about half a meter in height. Each Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower had nine strange-shaped leaves. These leaves were a bit like a human hand but had seven fingers. Some of the larger ones even had nine fingers. And at their tips bloomed one after another of large, emerald-green flowers. The emerald-green mist was emitted from the pistils of these large flowers. They slowly spread outwards and then merged into the seven-colored poison miasma.

Looking further into the distance, with Huo Yuhao's astonishing vision plus his spiritual sharing, everyone could see that a large patch of a miasma poison cloud was right behind these Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers. They were slowly sinking downwards, but their density seemed to be in no way less than the one in the sky before.

No wonder that before, Gu Yuena and the Snow Empress had not observed it. It turned out that the thickest poison cloud here was sinking. Without a doubt, in the place where they were sinking must be a valley.

"Shall we go over?" The Snow Empress glanced at the plants, as if she had sensed something, and asked Huo Yuhao.

"Wait a moment," if Huo Yuhao remembered correctly, this emerald-green poison mist was actually not afraid of fire, and would even counter-attack. The poison mist was alive. And their life was embodied in these Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers.

"The Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower is one of the most poisonous plants in the current world. Its potent poison not only possesses a strong corrosiveness but also has an extremely strong neurotoxin. Once one is contaminated, not only will the body be corroded, but one will also have to endure an instant of extremely intense pain. However, this kind of Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower is also extremely rare and precious. They are almost the dream of all plant-system soul masters. If a plant-system soul master can find a Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower that has already become a plant-system soul beast and fuse it into their own soul ring, then they will possess the potent poison of the Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower."

Speaking to this point, Huo Yuhao's gaze turned to the Ye Linlin among his partners.

Ye Linlin said, dumbfounded, "Don't tell me that the ones that looked to be at least one kilometer wide and extending on both sides, very likely surrounding the entire canyon, the thousands of them are all Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower soul beasts? With so many, can they still be called a rare species?"

Gu Yuena's pretty brow was tightly locked. She said, "This is precisely what I am surprised about. And it is also the reason why I didn't dare to recognize it at the beginning. According to my memory, although the Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flower likes to live in groups, its reproductive ability is very poor. Their requirements for the environment are extremely harsh. And in the process of their growth, they also need to absorb a large amount of nourishment to nourish themselves. Although among the Biphosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers we saw just now, not all of them have evolved to the soul beast level, a large part of them have already completed their evolution."

"If there were a hundred-thousand-year Biphosphorus Nine Absolute Flower, that would be great," Huo Yuhao suddenly said with a smile.
