Compared to other people in the six-person team, Yuan Ming is actually in a relatively safe environment.
He kept moving forward in the poisonous fog, and with the cooperation of the raven in the exploration, he could always understand the crisis in advance and make predictions in advance.
It's just that in this vast poisonous mist, there are so many kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants that are highly poisonous that it's almost impossible to kill them all.
After Yuan Ming finally killed all the poisonous queen bees that attacked him, he heard a dense rustling sound coming from the thick fog.
The soul crow was circling in the thick fog, but didn't see anything coming.
Yuan Ming was surprised when he suddenly felt that the black toad in the spirit beast bag was a little restless.
Without any hesitation, he immediately patted the spirit beast bag and took it out.
Yuan Ming held the black toad in his hand, and it was then that he realized that the reason why the black toad was agitated was not because he sensed any danger, but because he was uncontrollably excited.
"What does it mean?"
Before Yuan Ming could think clearly, Hei Chan had already jumped from his palm with both feet and landed on the ground in front of him.
As the black toad landed, Yuan Ming's eyes moved downwards.
At this time, he was surprised to find that a "white spot" suddenly appeared on the originally dark ground within a three-foot radius of where the black toad settled.
This white spot looks very abrupt with the black toad in the center.
Yuan Ming observed carefully for a while and found that the edges of the white spots were blurred and seemed to be changing slightly.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank and his brows furrowed.
What he originally thought was black moss was actually a layer of black moths that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The wings of these moths are almost flat against the ground, and if they are just slightly flapping, they cannot be seen at all. This is where the rustling sound comes from.
Just when Yuan Ming was about to speak out to remind other members of the team, he heard the cry of the iron tower giant dolphin not far away: "What is this? There are so many... uh, it's so itchy, so itchy..."
Where he couldn't see, large black moths under the dolphin's feet suddenly flapped their wings and flew up from the ground.
Countless black moths pounced on him like a black whirlwind, and before he could react at all, they densely wrapped him up.
A large amount of black phosphorus powder was sprinkled on the black moth, which fell on the burly dolphin's body, which was as tall as an iron tower, and soon corroded the cloth robe that covered his whole body.
Within a few breaths, Mang Dou's clothes became tattered, and large areas of blue and black tattoos appeared on his exposed skin.
A large number of black moths got in through the holes in the clothes.
In panic, the wild dolphin quickly reached out and slapped it.
But as he moved, more and more black moths stuck to his body, and he felt that the skin all over his body began to heat up. An unbearable itching came from all over his body, and he also felt that
The mana is flowing out at a slow speed.
As these black moths stick to each other more and more, the speed of mana flow gradually increases.
"drink!"
The mango suddenly let out a loud roar, and the tattoos on his body lit up. As a layer of dark red light emerged, the color of his skin quickly darkened, and crocodile-like leather armor patterns appeared on the surface.
At the same time, his figure also became a bit taller. In his eyes, the original black round pupils shrank and narrowed, turning into slender dark gold vertical pupils.
After the whole body was covered with animal skins, the strange itching on the dolphin's body faded away, its aura increased a lot, and the loss of mana also stopped.
He raised his hand and took out a yellow paper talisman and threw it forward. The talisman suddenly turned into a ray of yellow light and fell to the ground in front of him in a flash.
The next moment, the yellow paper talisman "hooked" and ignited a raging flame, spreading like a carpet and burning a large number of black moths to death.
On the other side, the other people were also using their own methods to kill the black moths.
Only Yuan Ming did not take action from beginning to end.
Because after the black toad was released, it was like a mouse thrown into a rice vat. When the long tongue in its mouth extended, curled and retracted, large pieces of black moths were swallowed into its mouth.
The poisonous insect that others avoid has become the delicacy that the black toad desires.
When these black moths saw the black toad, it was as if they had encountered a natural nemesis. They had no time to evade, let alone attack Yuan Ming.
So he walked very smoothly and soon left the others far behind.
After leaving the area filled with black moths, the mountain forest ahead began to change. Instead of giant trees that were hundreds of feet tall, there were dwarf trees intertwined with black vines.
The black toad jumped to the edge of the short tree, and did not go in directly, but stopped warily.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Ming immediately controlled the wandering soul crow to fly into the black forest and began to investigate.
Following Soul Crow's field of vision, he saw twisted black vines intertwining with each other inside, and there was almost no smooth path.
Under the black vines, mist was everywhere, water vapor was rising from the ground, and there seemed to be many puddles scattered around.
The soul crow landed on a black vine, its dark eyes staring down carefully, trying to see the situation inside as clearly as possible.
The moment it turned its head, a black venomous snake as thick as an arm suddenly appeared from a vine not far away. Its terrifying fangs were revealed in its wide open mouth, and it bit down on the soul crow.
Fortunately, Yuan Ming reacted very quickly and controlled the soul crow to flap its wings to dodge and fly high into the sky.
Yuan Ming was startled by this sudden attack. When he followed Soul Crow's line of sight and looked carefully again, a mind-numbing scene appeared in the woods below.
I saw black venomous snakes hanging down from the large black vines, with their mouths wide open, swaying like willow branches, but there was no sense of gentle breeze and drizzle, instead it looked extremely scary.
"How do you get past this damn place?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but feel confused.
It wasn't that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to defeat these venomous snakes, but it was just that there was no difference in color between these dark things and those vines. If they were entangled in the tree vines, he wouldn't be able to tell them apart at all.
Besides, there are puddles and depressions under our feet, so we can’t keep them all filled with moths.
While he was hesitating, Black Toad suddenly jumped on his instep, and the vines protruding from the bulge on his back wrapped around his calf and pulled hard.
"You mean, let me go with you?" Yuan Ming asked doubtfully.
Black Chan let go of Yuan Ming's trouser legs and jumped into the black forest ahead.
Yuan Ming looked back at the direction he came from, and after a moment's hesitation, he followed.
As soon as he stepped into the black forest, Yuan Ming noticed a moist and soft touch under his feet, just like stepping on turf growing on a tidal flat, with a slightly sunken feeling.
As soon as there was a "pop" sound, the black toad in front jumped and plunged into the nearest puddle.
A series of bubbles appeared in the puddle, but there was no sign of the black toad for a long time.
Yuan Ming waited for a long time, and saw that the already deep puddle suddenly turned up with black water like ink, and poisonous eels emerged from it one after another, turning their bellies.
"Great job!" Yuan Ming praised in a low voice.
At this time, in a puddle a little further away from this puddle, black water also bubbled up, and a large amount of eel poison also emerged from its belly.
After that, the figure of Black Toad also emerged from the water, waving the vines on his back, as if waving to Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming immediately understood that Hei Chan was asking him to follow him.
He only needs to follow the edge of the puddle that has been cleaned by the black toad, ignoring the possible dangers on the ground, and only needs to concentrate on dealing with the black snakes in the trees.
When he thought of this, Yuan Ming held the Hanxing sword in one hand and pointed at the center of his eyebrows with the other hand.
Two more black soul crows flew out from between his eyebrows, and the previous one surrounded his head.
The three soul crows helped him look after the left, right and rear respectively, while Yuan Ming himself paid attention to what was in front of him. There was no blind spot in his vision anymore, and he no longer had to worry about the sneak attack of the black snake.
Yuan Ming continued walking deep into the black forest, and this arrangement turned out to be surprisingly effective.
Now, no matter which angle the black snakes attack him from, he can immediately detect them and kill them easily with a swing of his sword.
When passing through some places where ground water overflowed, almost like a swamp, Yuan Ming inserted the Hanxing Sword into the ground and used his magic power to release the extremely cold air, and the ground water would freeze instantly.
With the cooperation of Soul Crow and Black Toad, this originally dangerous black vine jungle has become a smooth road for Yuan Ming.
Yuan Ming passed easily without paying any price except consuming some soul power and mana.
Other teams were not so lucky. They lost a lot of people just in the same forest.
…
After Yuan Ming walked out of the black vine jungle, he was not in a hurry to continue on his way. Instead, he took back the two soul crows, leaving only one and the black toad outside to guard.
He himself sat cross-legged, holding a spiritual stone in each hand, and began to regulate his breath and recover.
However, not long after, there were sudden bursts of strange noises in the mountains and forests, and the sound was huge.
Yuan Ming quickly stood up and controlled the soul crow to fly in the direction of the source of the sound.
But before Soul Crow could detect anything, there were already urgent footsteps on the other side, rushing towards him.
Yuan Ming held Hanxing Sword in his hand and was on guard.
I saw a slender figure rushing out of the thick fog, and it turned out to be Bai Rong.
Behind her, a huge, fuzzy black figure could be seen chasing after her in a strange way.
Bai Rong's face was covered with black gauze, so her expression could not be seen clearly, but her messy hair could also be seen in her embarrassment.
Yuan Ming immediately ran to the side, hid behind an ancient tree, and looked over.
Behind Bai Rong, a golden python as thick as a sea bowl and seven or eight feet long rushed out from the mist. Its long body twisted very fast.
It has brilliant markings all over its body, its huge python head stands upright, its bloody mouth is wide open, two pairs of snow-white fangs confront each other, and a bright red letter is spitting out.
"Golden Flower Poison Python." Yuan Ming recognized the person at a glance.
