Chapter 18 Breaking the Fog
Su Yan and her group carried the oil lamp and walked straight towards the light source not far away. It was a door, and the five of them walked out. They didn't really reach the secluded place until the bleak moonlight above their heads hit their faces.

"It's such a heavy fog." Ye Jun couldn't help but say.

"Be careful, everyone, don't get lost." Ji He reminded.

Under the dense fog, a dirt road was paved on the wet soil, and under the bleak moonlight, patches of dark green ferns printed strange shadows, 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 Ye Jun finished speaking, he possessed himself to smell it, and then said with a frowning 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 poisonous, and as the smell is released in the air, hiding under the dense 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 scarier 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 road you choose, you will eventually return to this fork.

When Lu Zebai said this, everyone obviously felt that their spirits were a little slack. Affected by the poisonous gas, their observation skills became extremely low.

Ye Jun was already shaking his head, 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 vigilant and sober.

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.

Everyone didn't have the heart to pay attention to others, but felt that their feet were heavy.

When everyone was lost in confusion, the guide's indistinguishable voice suddenly sounded: "Everyone, you have reached the center of the secluded place. The key to passing this level is to break through this toxic fog. Wishing you the best of luck!" Good luck everyone."

The guide's voice slowly dissipated in the air. At this moment, Su Yan raised her head to look at the sky. The sky that was originally covered by thick fog gradually revealed a piece, and the moonlight shone through this gap.

The ferns lit by the moonlight are starting to grow like crazy!
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 stronger!

"Everyone, cover your mouth and nose!" Ji Chenshu hurriedly reminded.

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 nutrient for these plants..." Su Yan murmured.

His eyes fell on those ferns again, carefully distinguishing them, there were ground root grass, cold spirit ghost flower, black leaf grass...

These plants have one thing in common, they are full of shade and only grow in the dark.

The source of the toxic fog is also the ferns that grow wildly in the moonlight.

Su Yan glanced around again, but couldn't pick out a positive plant.

"So that's how it is..."

In order to verify the guess in her heart, Su Yan ignored the dirty mud and lay down with her ears on the ground.

A faint sound of snoring and breathing fell into Su Yan's ears.

After the change just now, everyone became sober. Seeing Su Yan's strange behavior, Lu Zebai asked, "Boss? Did you find anything?"

Su Yan got up slowly, wiped her fingers stained with mud, and said lightly: "There is a huge poisonous beast in this secluded place."

"The moonlight is shade, and these ferns feed on the moonlight, and the poison 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 seventh stage.

Ye Jun's rock armor giant tortoise, high-level second stage.

The Frost Condor described by Ji Chen is at the ground level.

Ji He didn't fall either. Following the appearance of the pentagram array under his feet, a furry spirit beast with pink and white hair and two horns came out of the array's eyes.

He made a sound of "Ouch" and rubbed against Ji He.

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 at Professor Situ's lecture at Cangming College. At that time, it was still 3D projection.

Seeing Ji He's contracted beast with his own eyes this time is the real sense of seeing this auspicious beast.

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 described as an existence against the sky.

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.
