The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1745 Five Poisons Hall

Nighttime is the active time for many monsters, and Lin Chen flying around in the sky at night is a very dangerous thing to do.

Lin Chen didn't want to take any risks, but unfortunately, without going out at night, it was impossible to find the Fire Night Dragon Grass, which didn't look particularly eye-catching, in this densely vegetated area.

Fortunately, Lin Chen's ability to shrink distances to an inch is now quite remarkable. He might not be able to win, but escaping shouldn't be a problem.

Lin Chen flew for most of the night, being chased and attacked by demonic beasts no less than twenty times, two of which were extremely powerful demons, but unfortunately he gained nothing.

When Chu Yue saw Lin Chen the next morning, he asked with concern, "Did you find it?"

Lin Chen smiled wryly, "I was chased by all sorts of monsters all night and gained nothing."

"The Baiye Mountains are so vast, the area searched in one night is not very large, so there's no need to be discouraged."

Chu Yue offered a word of comfort, then asked curiously, "Did you encounter any powerful demonic beasts?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Most of the demonic beasts are of average strength, but there was a white-faced owl that was quite powerful. It was sneaky and suddenly attacked me, which startled me."

White-faced owl?
Chu Yue raised an eyebrow. This was a demon beast comparable to a Golden Immortal, with strong combat power, moving like the wind, and incredibly fast. If it were to be ambushed, even a Golden Immortal would easily suffer a great loss. Lin Chen, however, said he was startled.
Just startled?
Chu Yue immediately gained a new understanding of Lin Chen's strength. As expected of the successor of the Heavenly Sword, although he was only a peak Earth Immortal, his combat power was obviously far beyond his own realm.

No wonder he dared to venture into the Baiye Mountains alone and leisurely lie around in the mountains like a salted fish.

The airship continued towards Poison Mist Valley and arrived in the afternoon.

Poison Mist Valley is covered with poisonous miasma and has no clear boundaries. The valley and the forest are filled with thick gray fog, which covers a vast area thousands of meters in the sky.

Chu Yue stood at the bow of the ship, frowning: "These poisonous miasmas can actually block divine sense, making it impossible for people to perceive what's going on inside. This is rather troublesome."

Lin Chen was not surprised at all; he had seen similar scenes several times before.

The ancient graveyard, the gray mist island of the Sea of ​​Desolation, the endless abyss...

If it were just ordinary fog, how could it possibly stop these powerful immortals?
Chu Yue thought for a moment, then suddenly thrust his right hand out. A sudden gust of wind arose in the air, a huge gale howling down and blowing into the forest from above, instantly causing the fog to churn. However, while the fog swirled around with the wind, the thick fog below did not dissipate at all, remaining unchanged.

Chu Yue frowned: "It seems we have no choice but to go inside. The Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros's horn doesn't always emit seven-colored light, so we can't wait outside for the light to locate it."

Lin Chen nodded: "Although this area is quite large, as long as we can enter it and search every place, it shouldn't take too long to search all the areas. If there really is a Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros in this place, perhaps we can find it... if it is still there."

Chu Yue thought for a moment, then turned and instructed, "No rush. Let's go forward first, see if there are any other people, and find out what's going on."

The airship continued forward, and soon they saw a large group of people on a majestic peak.

This mountain is at least several thousand meters high, majestic and imposing. Its entire lower half is hidden in miasma, but its upper half is exposed, like a towering peak that pierces the clouds.

The adventurers naturally chose this peak as a temporary resting point, where they gathered together and huddled together, which would greatly increase their safety.

The flying boat landed on the mountain peak. Lin Chen and Chu Yue disembarked and asked a kind-looking middle-aged man about the situation.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. I'm new here, what's the situation like here?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the Starry Sky Sword Sect's banner on the flying boat, a hint of awe in his eyes. He returned the greeting with a cupped hand and replied, "The poisonous miasma in this Poison Mist Valley is more terrifying than I imagined. Ordinary antidote pills and miasma-avoiding pills are completely ineffective against the miasma. Many people have taken antidote pills before, but most of them ended up being poisoned."

"Most of these poisoned people left as soon as they felt something was wrong, so the poisoning wasn't too severe and the problem wasn't too big. However, some greedy or arrogant people who were strong enough to resist the poisonous miasma stayed inside for too long and were severely poisoned. Several of them died."

"Only a small number of people, by using high-grade antidote pills, can effectively resist the poisonous miasma here and enter the Poison Mist Valley safely. Almost everyone here is unable to enter without antidote pills, yet they are unwilling to give up and wait here, hoping to try their luck and see the seven-colored glow emitted by the Seven-Colored Jade Rhinoceros."

Chu Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "So, no one has succeeded yet, right?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Those who went down now are mostly disciples of the Five Poisons Hall. They are experts in poisons and poisonous creatures, and have the strongest resistance to them. But their flying boat is still here, so they probably haven't found the Seven-Colored Spirit Rhinoceros yet..."
