Where poison abounds, the holy antidote must be produced.
This colorful lotus shone with light, then converged again, turning into an extremely simple white lotus.
It grows in a poisonous miasma, yet is so clean.
Lu He came closer, not daring to reach out and touch it easily. He only glanced at it, looked at Zhuang Ming, and whispered: "This doesn't look like poison."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "The lotus flower originally emerged from the silt and remained uncontaminated. This lotus was born in a highly toxic miasma and has not been contaminated by poison. It is rare."
But his eyes glanced at Wen Han next to him.
Wen Han's complexion changed again and again, and he felt that something was going to be worse.
"When you saw this lotus, your expression seemed to change?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"This lotus flower is not an ordinary thing." Wen Han said.
"I can tell." Zhuang Ming nodded.
"But..." Wen Han said in a deep voice: "When I came out, I also ran into this lotus. I wanted to take it away, but there was a problem..."
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming paused and said, "It is said in ancient books that treasures are made in heaven and must be protected."
"That's right." Wen Han nodded hurriedly.
"The treasure is made in heaven and must be protected?" Yue Ting was a little confused.
"To put it bluntly, there are countless creatures in this mountain, and we can tell it is a treasure at a glance. Those monsters, even if they are not as smart as you, can at least rely on instinct to determine whether this thing is a treasure." Zhuang Ming said slowly.
: "If the treasures of heaven, materials and earth are useful to them, they will protect them until the treasures mature and use them for themselves... Or, what kind of light or fragrance does such a treasure emit at all times, which is helpful for practice?"
, it will also attract spirits and monsters.”
"What about this thing?" Yue Ting looked at Wen Han.
"There are also creatures in the miasma, even creatures that are dependent on the miasma." Wen Han said: "When I went there last time, I met three big monsters and more than a hundred spirits, like a tribe, and they retreated."
"It's gone." Zhuang Ming closed his eyes, sensed carefully, and said, "Could it be that they were carried away by the previous beast tide? Or maybe they abandoned this lotus to pursue the source of the beast tide's chaos?"
"It's also possible that they were in danger. They came out of the wild mountains and were frightened away," Lu He said.
"And." Wen Han said in a low voice, "Here he comes."
In the miasma, there is no sound or breath.
Gradually some figures emerged.
The spiritual beast beside Lu He suddenly shivered.
"Next time if you make your own decisions and leave without authorization, I will chop you with a knife."
Lu He said in a low voice: "Either you run away, or don't come back."
The spirit beast also knew it was causing trouble, so he nodded.
Wen Han walked forward and said, "You go straight ahead. The miasma will pass within thirty miles. I will block them and then go looking for you."
He said blocking, not killing.
Even if there is a drought, there is no way to kill them.
But Zhuang Ming, Lu He, and Yue Ting stayed behind, and they all felt like burdens.
As for Lord Long, he must protect Zhuang Ming and will never fight alongside him Wen Han.
"good."
Zhuang Ming responded and said, "Let's hit the road first."
Wen Han walked forward, but his figure was covered by the miasma.
Last time there were three big monsters and more than a hundred spirits.
Now there is only one big monster and more than twenty spirits.
Amidst the miasma, something must have happened recently.
——
"You really don't need to help him?" Yue Ting looked back. He was a little regretful. After getting the magic sword, he never had the chance to use it. Although his cultivation was destined to be limited and he could not exert its true power, he could still try this magic weapon at least.
The fierceness.
"In the wild mountains, even if the three of us die, he will not die." Zhuang Ming said: "The only one who can kill him is Zhenxuan. What's more, people like him grew up in the wild mountains. This is what he is most familiar with.
The place."
"Instead of worrying about him, it's better to worry about us." Lu He said: "The miasma is thirty miles away, there are dangerous terrains, and there are ferocious birds and beasts like the ones that grow in the miasma just now. Without Wenhan to lead the way, it will be difficult to walk.
."
"Just keep walking."
Zhuang Ming said so.
The robe on his body shone with light, holding up a white light and covering up the miasma.
And a layer of black light gradually rose up on Yue Ting's body.
Lu He held the obstacle avoidance weapon in his hand, and the spiritual beasts under him also hummed low from time to time, and the sound seemed to be able to dispel the miasma.
This spiritual beast knew that it had brought back a lotus flower without permission and had caused trouble, so it worked harder to cover up the miasma for Lu He.
"Sir, look."
"What?"
Zhuang Ming turned his head and saw that Yue Ting's expression was getting weirder.
Just at Yue Ting's feet, there is a place where the miasma is clear.
And in the center of that place, there was something.
Shaped like a Dharma seal.
The official seal of Da Chu.
"From the fourth grade official seal."
Lu He looked strange and said, "The one who is the chief clerk of the Star Observation Department of Sitian Mansion?"
Zhuang Ming frowned slowly.
That day, the Master Registrar noticed the light rising into the sky, borrowed his donkey from the slope, turned around and left to explore the source of the light.
But he appears here again?
"People are printing in."
Zhuang Ming said slowly: "He should be nearby. However, the seal is lost here. Even if he does not die, he may be in a worrying situation."
Yue Ting picked up the official seal and asked: "What about now?"
Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and made a move, the dragon breathed out, and the magic power wrapped around the official seal.
"We'll talk about it later. As for the Registrar, there's no need to pay attention to it."
"Thirty Mile Miasma, don't delay any longer."
"It's already a lot of trouble at the moment, so don't make it any more troublesome."
——
One day later.
The thirty-mile mountain road is rugged and bumpy, and there are countless swamps corroded by miasma.
Even the land seems to be soaked in poison.
All vegetation is poisonous.
The creatures looked fierce.
There are quite a lot of poisonous snakes, poisonous insects, and poisonous beasts.
However, the power of the dragon also deterred these poisonous creatures, so this trip was considered ordinary.
"I wonder how the drought is going?" Lu He was a little worried.
"If he solves the problem, he should catch up." Yue Ting pondered for a moment, and then said: "If he hasn't come up yet, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
"Wait for him in front, he's about to get miasma."
Zhuang Ming said this, but his steps stopped.
He stretched out his hand, but did not use the power of the dragon.
The robe alone swept away the miasma.
Dozens of steps ahead, corpses were everywhere.
A total of sixteen corpses.
Seven bodies are human bodies, and nine bodies are beasts.
Moreover, whether they are human beings or beasts, they all look quite familiar.
These seven human corpses were clearly dressed in the costumes of the Star Observation Department of Sitian Mansion.
Those beasts are like the ferocious beasts born in the miasma blocked by the drought.
"Master?"
"We are almost out of the miasma range."
Zhuang Ming said: "Move quickly."
Yue Ting said hello and immediately stepped forward to turn over the corpse.
It is not easy to collect the corpses, but it is not difficult to search them. They are all dead anyway, and it is a pity that everything they carry is left here.
In just a moment, they searched everything and found a lot.
So Zhuang Ming and the others continued to move forward.
Get out of the miasma.
I met a person face to face.
"What a coincidence."
Zhuang Ming smiled and nodded, looking down at the dying middle-aged man leaning on the rock.
