The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1910 Miasma
The mountain road is winding and shrouded in fog.

Three carriages were driving slowly on the mountain road leading to Worry-Free Valley.

After leaving the city, there are undulating mountains on both sides of the official road, and endless primeval forests on the mountains.

There were countless forks along the way, and no road signs, so they had no idea which road led to Worry-Free Valley. Fortunately, Zhang Qianqian sent someone to lead them all the way to the entrance of the valley.

Entering the fork in the road is the mysterious primeval forest.

In other words, the entire road leading to Wuyou Valley is covered by virgin forest.

So the fog lingers all year round.

The road condition was average. It was not flat, but not as rugged as imagined. There were quite a few ruts on the road, but two of them were extremely deep. The road was particularly flat due to the road opened up by our predecessors during the Chinese New Year, so these two ruts were naturally the most crushed.

Pang Shiwu was very thankful that the wheel mark was only five inches deep. If it was a few inches deeper, the axle would have been stuck in the mud and unable to move forward!
Pang Shiwu estimated that the soil below had been compressed extremely densely and would not collapse easily.

The fallen leaves in the forest were piled up layer upon layer. Some leaves had rotted away and only a dry petiole remained, as thin as a thread. There were not many fallen leaves on the wheel tracks. Most of them were probably rolled aside by the carriage or crushed into the soil by the wheels and turned into mud.

The forest has a strong plant scent, a mixture of rotten leaves, resin, and earth.

From time to time, birds chirped in the sky above the woods, breaking the silence in the dark forest and giving people a sense of life.

Just then, Pang Shiwu discovered a boundary marker.

There are three big red words on it: Worry-free Valley!

There are some small words below: It is still more than three miles to Wuyou Valley. There is miasma and poisonous insects and monsters in the valley. There are risks in the valley, please be careful when entering. We are not responsible for any accidents.

Pang Shiwu said, "Fuck, what does this mean?"

Yuan Zishan in the carriage lifted the curtain, took a look, and then lowered the curtain: "It means exactly what it says!"

Pang Shiwu said, "I think these miasma, poisonous insects, and monsters are all caused by them. They are just afraid that outsiders will come in and out of Wuyou Valley at will and steal their secrets!"

Yuan Zishan said: "It may not be made by them, but these things have indeed become the triple barrier of Wuyou Valley!"

Pang Shiwu said: "The last two sentences are clearly an attempt to pass on the blame!"

The further we went, the thicker the fog became.

Everyone has green rhinoceros teeth on their bodies, making them immune to all poisons. Poisonous gas and miasma cannot get close to them within ten feet, so the horses pulling the carts will not be poisoned.

Pang Shiwu asked, "Brother, do you think this fog is miasma?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It should be."

To them, there is no difference between miasma and fog.

The fog is so thick now that you can hardly see your hand in front of you.

Pang Shiwu couldn’t see the scene behind the thick fog!

He now completely relied on his hearing and intuition to judge the changes in terrain by sensing the movement of snakes and ants around him and the slightest movement of the wind. If there was no wind, it would be difficult for him to sense the road conditions ahead!
Pang Shiwu asked, "How do we get rid of this miasma?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Miasma cannot be eliminated, you can only prevent or avoid it. There are several causes of miasma. One is natural factors, such as the decay of animal and plant corpses can produce miasma, mostly in swamps and jungles, and corpse miasma, such as battlefields or mass graves, which can also produce miasma. The second is that some volcanic areas have a lot of sulfur rocks, which can also produce miasma; the second is mosquito bites, which are sometimes attributed to miasma; the third is geographical and climatic catalysis, such as basin terrain, because the air is not flowing, Poisonous gas accumulates in the air, so stagnant miasma will occur. In dense forests, which is the terrain we are in now, the mixture of fallen leaves and decaying gas will form green grass miasma. In stagnant ponds, algae blooms are prone to black water miasma. The "Lingbiao Luyi" records osmanthus miasma, and the "Guihai Yuhengzhi" records anaconda miasma. Miasma is not like animals, which will die if you kill them. Miasma is like air. You only have two choices: exhale or inhale. You can't make the air disappear! "

"In other words, when ordinary people face miasma, they either choose to die of poisoning or suffocation?"

"Boy, aren't you just being argumentative?"

"You said it, either exhale or inhale! If you only exhale without inhaling, you will suffocate to death, but if you inhale, you will be poisoned."

"Don't they know how to take antidote? Why do some people dare to enter Snake Valley so brazenly? Isn't it because they cover their bodies with realgar powder?"

Pang Shiwu said: "I am talking about ordinary people. What if they are too poor to afford the antidote?"

"If you can't afford the antidote, don't take the risk! If you dare to take the risk without the antidote, then there is nothing you can do. Just wait for death."

At this moment, hundreds of feet ahead of them, there was a carriage heading towards Wuyou Valley.

The carriage had already entered the miasma zone, and the wheels left winding tracks in the miasma as they rolled over the damp, decaying leaves.

Murong Chunchao lifted the car curtain, and his fingertips touched the purple mist condensed into water droplets.

“This is the Seven-Step Miasma!”

He twisted his fingertips stained with poison dew, "Cuinong, give me another anti-poison pill."

Cuinong took out a green jade bottle from her bag, poured out a poison-proof pill and handed it to Murong Chunchao.

Murong Chunchao took it and put it directly in his mouth. The mist in front of him instantly spread out several feet, and the air was not so foul!

Murong Chunchao said: "Although this anti-poison pill is effective, it is consumed too quickly. It will dissolve in your mouth after a while."

Cuinong said, "Sir, even if it dissolves, it will be dissolved into the stomach, so it can still avoid the poison."

Murong Chunchao said: "Although I can avoid the poison, my vision cannot be optimized. I am blind. I can only hold it in my mouth. This way, the miasma within five feet cannot get close to me, and I can still see the road a little more clearly."

"Don't worry, sir. The anti-poison pills I brought are definitely enough!"

"That's good!"

The sword at his waist suddenly made a buzzing sound in its sheath.

Cuinong on the shaft of the cart suddenly screamed: "Snake!"

I saw hundreds of small green snakes hanging from the tree trunks in front of me, and each snake scale was glowing like phosphorescent light in the miasma.

No matter how brave a girl is, she seems to be unable to be immune to snakes and is born afraid of them. Rather than being afraid, it is better to say that she is psychologically uncomfortable with these black, slippery, soft, sticky and wriggling things.

Thousands of snakes gathered here, it seemed to be the legendary snake formation outside the valley!
There are snakes everywhere and murderous intentions are lurking on every side!
His sister Murong Qiuwei, who was sitting opposite Murong Chunchao, showed a change of expression at this moment. The Xuepo magic skill was quietly activated, and the temperature in the car dropped sharply.

"This is not an ordinary snake formation." She placed her bare hand on the Snow Soul Sword. "Look at the direction they are moving in. It matches the pattern of the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams!"

Before he finished his words, the snakes suddenly retreated like the tide.

Murong Qiuwei was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly countless mounds of earth rose up from the ground, followed by countless wire snakes breaking out of the ground!

These pitch-black poisonous snakes shot towards the horses like arrows and instantly drilled into the horses' bellies. The horses felt the pain and immediately stood up, directly lifting the carriage!
Murong Chunchao immediately grabbed Cuinong and flew away from the carriage like lightning! With Cuinong's reaction speed, he was sure that she would be crushed under the carriage!
Murong Qiuwei also jumped out of the carriage before it overturned!
The moment he jumped off the carriage, it overturned!

At the same time the horse died!

The horse's abdomen had been pierced by the wire snakes, leaving a bloody sieve and blood was gushing out!
The horse was still twitching, and the pupils of its eyes had turned gray and black, with no whites left. The horse looked extremely terrifying!
The three of them stood back to back, forming a horn shape. All the surrounding snakes rushed over like a tide! "Not to mention being poisoned to death, if all these snakes pounced on us, they would be able to crush these three people to death!"

"Ten Thousand Snakes Paying Homage to the Ancestor?" Murong Qiuwei quickly picked up the Jiaowei Qin that had fallen from the side of the car when it overturned. His black cloak fluttered in the miasma. "Brother, listen to my "Pure Heart and Universal Good Mantra" and we will break this formation together!"

She knelt on her knees with her butt sitting on her ankles. It looked like she was kneeling, but actually she was sitting. She really didn't want to suffer any loss!
The Jiaoweiqin was placed horizontally on the ground.

Murong Qiuwei gently stroked the strings of the zither with her slender fingers.

Cheng Cheng - the sound of the piano was melodious and plaintive, but the poisonous snakes did not understand the deep meaning of the music. Instead of retreating, they attacked even more fiercely!

The sound of the piano and the hissing of the snake are intertwined together!
Cuinong suddenly took out a jade flute, the body of which was already emitting a green glow. She put it to her lips and blew it gently. The song "Spring River Moon Night" suddenly resounded throughout the forest!
Wherever the sound waves passed, poisonous snakes exploded!
The boy Shancai raised his hand and sprinkled gold powder, and the realgar smell caused the snakes to go into chaos. Murong Chunchao's face had turned dark red, and the sword energy turned into blood mist covering three feet, and the snakes were crushed into pieces wherever it passed!
Suddenly, the ground shook! Two giant pythons as thick as buckets broke through the ground and soared into the sky. The snake heads had human faces, and their four vertical pupils emitted green light.

The two giant pythons stretched their bodies out another ten feet, and Murong Qiuwei actually saw an incredible scene, it was actually a two-headed python!

Murong Qiuwei's Tianya Sword was unsheathed with a clang, and the sword energy condensed into an ice lotus, instantly freezing the left snake head into an ice sculpture! The right snake head sprayed out a stream of venom, which was discovered by her brother Murong Chunchao, who immediately slapped it away from the air!
"This is a two-headed viper!" Murong Qiuwei grabbed the scales of the snake's tail. "According to the Records of Strange Beasts in Mountains and Seas, this creature can only be killed if its two heads are cut off." Before he could finish his words, the viper's tail swept over and the carriage shattered!
Amid the flying wood chips, Murong Qiuwei's rain of pear blossom needles penetrated the snake's body into seven inches!

Whether the snake's body was hit or not was not important to Murong Chunchao! What was important was that Murong Qiuwei actually used the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle! This was a deadly weapon!
"Where did you get it?"

……

Pang Shiwu frowned and said, "There seems to be someone fighting in the front!"

Yuan Zishan said: "Let's go and take a look."

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
