Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

"I didn't expect the captain to be so powerful..."

"The Wood Clan, who is at the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, even used a forbidden technique, but ended up being powerless against the captain..."

"Yeah, we originally thought we were going to fail this time. Even if we didn't die, we would at least be badly injured. But it turned out that the captain solved the problem by himself without us having to do anything."

"..."

Inside the White Dragon Boat, voices of praise rang out one after another. The previous battle was truly too unexpected. Until now, everyone was still excited and could not calm down for a long time.

With such a captain, Team A-17 will definitely take off in the future! As team members, they will naturally benefit greatly.

Compared to everyone's excitement, Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged.

He knew very well that his strength was far inferior to that of the woman from the Wood Clan. If there was no middle-aged man in the Void Refinement Realm leading him, he would not be able to be the opponent at all.

To be honest, he was not excited at all. Instead, he was still frightened. The dangers in the wilderness were indeed not just talk. Any situation could happen.

Once you are not strong enough and have bad luck, the result will be unpredictable.

"This time we have completely offended that strong man from the Wood Clan. Under such circumstances, would it be risky for us to continue to go to the Ten Thousand Poison Valley to carry out the mission?" At this moment, Xue Rou suddenly reminded him softly.

"The other party used a forbidden technique, which greatly consumed his own essence. It will take more than a hundred years for him to recover. He should have already fled back to the Wood Clan and fallen asleep. There is no need to worry." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, then looked at everyone and said seriously,

"I understand that everyone is happy that we were able to turn danger into safety this time, but don't be too careless. This wilderness is full of dangers, and Mo's strength is far from as strong as you think. This is really not the time to get carried away."

"Captain, you are right. We have indeed gotten carried away. But don't worry. We have entered the wilderness so many times to carry out missions, so we still have some self-awareness..."

"That's true. Even among the Golden Guards, many died after entering the wilderness, let alone someone as powerful as us..."

"But our luck was a little bad this time. Who would have thought that a master from the Wood Clan would appear here? It's not that this situation is impossible to happen, it's just that it happens very rarely, and yet we happened to encounter it..."

"That's true. We chose the mission in the Ten Thousand Poison Valley because it was close enough to Tianyuan City and the danger level was low. Who would have thought that we would encounter such an accident? It's really unlucky."

"I just hope my luck won't be so bad on the way..."

"The Ten Thousand Poison Valley is not far away. At our speed, we can reach it in five days at most. There are no dangerous areas along the way, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

"I hope so. However, even if nothing goes wrong along the way, the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is not a good place. It will still not be easy to complete the mission successfully..."

"You are wrong. With the captain here, hunting down poisonous beasts is easy..."

"..."

With Mo Juren's reminder, everyone gradually calmed down their overly excited mood and the topic turned to business.

We have to mention the white-haired old man here. He is the most senior member of Team A17 and the only one who has followed the previous captain into the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, so he has the deepest understanding.

As for the others, they joined later and their understanding of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley was mostly through information. After all, it was just theory, and there was inevitably a gap between it and reality.

“The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is huge, stretching tens of millions of miles from east to west, and the situation inside is extremely complicated. The records in the relevant materials cannot be exhaustive.

The valley is shrouded in colorful poisonous miasma all year round. The poisonous beasts living in it have evolved over countless years and have become all kinds of strange and bizarre, including large beasts and various poisonous insects.

With such a complex environment and countless poisonous beasts, you can imagine how dangerous it is.

The only thing that is fortunate is that, for some reason, there seems to have never been a fusion-level existence among these poisonous beasts, and even the refining void realm rarely appears.

Otherwise, no one would dare to enter the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons easily..."

Following the explanation of the white-haired old man, everyone gained a new understanding of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.

"According to rumors, the probability of the birth of poisonous beast blood crystals is not high, but is it true?" At this moment, one of the team members suddenly asked.

"Yes and no..." The white-haired old man shook his head slightly and then gave an explanation.

"Poisonous beast blood crystals are extremely special materials, so naturally there can't be too many of them. Most poisonous beasts don't have them. But this is not a problem. Poisonous beasts that give birth to blood crystals will show certain special signs. As long as we can identify them, it won't be too difficult to find the right blood crystal."

"Brother Zhou strongly recommended this task before, so I think there should be no problem in this regard, right?" Lu Shan beside him suddenly asked.

"Of course, no problem." The white-haired old man laughed and then looked at everyone and said,

"Don't worry, everyone. Since I made such a recommendation before, I am sure of it."

"That's good. Otherwise, if we delay too long, we won't be able to catch up with the auction..."

"Don't worry, I won't..."

……

Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the White Dragon Boat finally arrived at its destination, outside the Ten Thousand Poison Valley.

At this time, everyone on the deck had already walked out, and their eyes were all looking forward. What came into view was a vast and boundless colorful poisonous fog, with no end in sight.

Even though they were far away, everyone could still feel the terrible poisonous gas escaping. It was only because they were strong enough that the impact was not significant. If it were a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage, they would not even be able to get close.

And this is because it is quite far away. If one goes deeper into it, even a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage will not be able to hold on for too long.

But this is not a problem. Since it is a poisonous miasma, there is naturally a way to deal with it. Moreover, it is a treasure specially refined to deal with the seven-colored poisonous miasma.

Moreover, such things are not uncommon in Tianyuan City and are sold in many shops in the market.

The poisonous miasma is only one of the problems and can be easily solved. The countless poisonous beasts living inside are truly terrifying. It is also the key reason why many cultivators do not dare to accept this task rashly when they are not strong enough.

The white-haired old man waved his arm gently, and suddenly silver rays of light shot out and hovered in front of everyone.

When the light faded, what came into view were a number of diamond-shaped jade plates, both sides of which were engraved with dense silver runes. Mo Juren could tell that they were undoubtedly silver tadpole characters.

As expected of the spiritual world, the top leaders of both the human and demon races have already reached an extremely deep level in their research on silver tadpole writing, and it has been applied in many places.

Such as the token of Tianyuanwei and these jade tokens in front of us.

"I think everyone has heard of these anti-poison jade tokens. As long as you wear them, you can enter the Poison Valley at will. If nothing unexpected happens, you can almost completely avoid the poison miasma." The white-haired old man explained with a smile, and suddenly said,

"Of course I'm talking about normal situations. The poison-repelling aura formed by this thing is not stable. If it is attacked, it is very likely to collapse. So for insurance, I bought some more before leaving, just in case..."

As he spoke, he waved his arms again, and suddenly ten rays of light appeared, but they were not jade tokens, but jade boxes half a foot square.

"There are three similar anti-poison jade cards in each box. Fellow Taoists, please take them. In addition, there is also a bottle of anti-poison pill in each box. It is a precious medicine specially refined by the top leaders and is specifically for the seven-colored poison miasma."

"I have heard of these things before, but I didn't pay much attention to them. But I heard that they seem to be expensive, right?" Lu Shan took the token and jade box and asked.

"It's not cheap, and we bought so much, but it's nothing compared to the reward for the mission. Besides, when we hunt poisonous beasts, in addition to finding blood crystals, some of the materials they contain are also very valuable. If we sell more, we can make up for it."

"That's true!"

As they were talking, everyone had already put their things away and put the anti-poison jade tokens on their waists. As spiritual energy was input into them, a layer of silver spiritual light suddenly condensed on the surface of their bodies.

"Get ready, we'll set off immediately." Mo Juren glanced at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Jiao Wan'er and another Yuanying stage team member.

"You two are too weak, so try not to take action this time. Just follow behind."

"Oh, okay..." The two naturally had no objection and nodded obediently.

After giving the instructions, Xue Rou put away the flying boat, and everyone turned into rays of spiritual light and shot towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. In a blink of an eye, they were completely immersed in the colorful poisonous miasma.

The poisonous fog was so thick that the vision was naturally greatly disturbed. Even the spiritual consciousness was affected to a certain extent, and the perceived distance was shortened by nearly half.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s only half, it’s enough for everyone.

As for the seven-colored poisonous miasma, even with the protection of the anti-poison spiritual light, it was also ineffective. Therefore, although everyone was in the endless poisonous fog at this time, they looked very relaxed.

The white-haired old man flipped his palm again, and a simple hand-drawn map appeared. He observed it carefully for a while and said:

"The Poison Valley is vast, and aimlessly searching for poisonous beasts is obviously not advisable. The easiest way is to find their gathering points. According to public records, there are several suitable places, but I'm not sure if other teams have got there first?"

"Let's just go over and take a look. If there is any, that's great. If not, we can think of another way." Mo Juren made a decision and then said,

"I'll trouble you to lead the way from now on. You can choose how to go."

"It's my job, why bother?" The white-haired old man smiled and continued to observe the map for a while, then said again,

"Then let's go to 'Red Lake' first. That's where the poisonous beasts gather to drink water. There should be quite a few of them."

"can!"

Mo Juren nodded again. After getting permission, the white-haired old man immediately put away the map and led everyone to rush in a certain direction.

……

At the same time, deep in the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley, on the top of a mountain, there was a figure sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The figure was obviously immersed in cultivation, with a deep red aura lingering around him, but the strange thing was that he seemed to have no substance, but rather appeared and disappeared, as if illusory.

Suddenly, the figure seemed to be aware of something, his eyes suddenly opened, and he looked directly at a certain place. He saw a flash of green light there, and another figure emerged.

The difference from the former was that this figure was surrounded by a turquoise aura.

"Your Excellency, just now, a group of human monks entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons!" The green figure bowed slightly and then explained the situation.

Upon hearing this, the red shadow's eyes suddenly lit up.

"How many people are there and what are their specific strengths?"

"There are eleven of them in total. Among them, the highest level of cultivation is only three people in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. There are six people in the early stage of the Spiritualization Stage. The remaining two are still in the Nascent Soul Stage."

"The highest is only the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. You really have extraordinary courage!" The red shadow smiled sinisterly.

"I was originally thinking of taking a rest here, but I didn't expect that there would be fat meat delivered to my door. It's really a cause for celebration."

"Are you going to take action? What about our mission?" The green shadow seemed to have thought of something and was about to persuade him, but was interrupted by the former.

"It's okay. Killing just a few people, what impact can it have? As long as we kill them all and leave no trouble behind, it won't be noticed.

In addition, there are quite a lot of human monks coming this time, so in order to prevent any accidents, we will directly mobilize all our forces and try to leave no one behind."

"I'll arrange it right away!" The green figure nodded, then turned into a green light and broke through the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the red shadow slowly closed its eyes again.

He obviously had no intention of participating in this operation, nor was there any need to. The highest-level enemy cultivator was only in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, so it would be enough for the clansmen below to go over there.

Thinking of this, he was too lazy to pay attention to it anymore. He slowly closed his eyes and continued to meditate and practice.

……

With the white-haired old man leading the way, the journey was smooth and there were almost no obstacles.

It was not until we went deeper that some so-called poisonous beasts began to emerge one after another.

However, these poisonous beasts were too weak, and were not much different from some low-level monsters. Naturally, Mo Juren never took them seriously.

If one wanted to obtain blood crystals, one had to search for them in the bodies of poisonous beasts above level eight. Even level eight was not enough; one had to search at least at the Spiritual Transformation level.

In this case, it is obviously impossible to enter the outer area, and we must go deeper.

However, for some reason, as he continued to move forward, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort in his heart, as if something big was about to happen?

"Are you overthinking?" Mo Juren frowned, but he couldn't feel anything. It was just that his inner instinct told him that things shouldn't be that simple. (End of this chapter)
