Chapter 7: Toxin Essence, Husband and Wife Banyan Tree

Gu Bai, Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang and Fatty Wang climbed up and down, carrying their equipment and supplies and walked for nearly twenty minutes.

Finally, he walked out of the dark cave.

Outside is the halfway point of Zhalong Mountain.

There is an endless jungle ahead.

Various exotic flowers and plants and towering trees are scattered throughout the area.

The ground is crisscrossed with streams and a dense network of water.

Except for some larger pools and ponds, other places are covered with thick vegetation.

Obviously, they have crossed Zhalong Mountain and reached the outskirts of the Worm Valley.

Fatty Wang shouted, "Master Gu, Master Gu, look over there, there are so many insects. This place is simply heaven for you as a Gu Insect Master."

Gu Bai looked forward and saw a beautiful patch of bee orchids at the edge of the woods.

Near the bee orchid, various bees with colorful patterns and different shapes are flying up and down.

After climbing for most of the day at the foot of the dark and terrifying Zhalong Mountain, Gu Bai felt like he was washing his eyes when he looked at the beautiful and magnificent valley scenery.

I finally felt a little relaxed.

Hu Bayi took out the human skin map from his body.

The records on the human skin map are rather vague.

Moreover, the topography and landforms were thousands of years ago, so it is inevitable that considerable changes have occurred.

Following the instructions on the map, you can follow the underground river where the human-skin figurines were before and continue forward.

Unfortunately, it is the rainy season recently, the water level has risen, and the underground river is connected to other waterways.

Now it is difficult to tell which canal was dug when King Xian built the tomb.

"I remember Blind Man Chen said that he visited Worm Valley decades ago. What did he say?"

Fatty Wang looked at Hu Bayi.

Hu Bayi immediately remembered.

"By the way, Blind Chen found the Snake River along the mountainside of Zhelong Mountain, and then walked downstream along the Snake River."

"It is said that there is a broken stone wall downstream. It should be a dam or something like that built when King Xian built the mausoleum."

"It is said that the dam was built to maintain the feng shui pattern of the water dragon halo in King Xian's tomb."

"The Tomb of King Xian was demolished after it was built, but there are still many remains."

"Since Blind Chen has seen it, the stone wall should still be there only a few decades ago."

“After passing the stone wall, you’ll find Worm Valley.”

Now that we have landmarks, the next route plan is easy to determine.

The group set out early and entered Zhalong Mountain on a bamboo raft at around eight in the morning.

It was around three in the afternoon when we came out.

After a few people rested at the entrance of the cave, they began to walk north along the foot of Zhelong Mountain.

Instead of going into the forest, look for the Snake River.

Hu Bayi cleared the compass, redetermined the direction and altitude, and walked ahead to clear the way.

Not far away, several people felt the power of the subtropical jungle.

There is no road here.

Although we did not enter the jungle directly and only walked on the periphery at the foot of the mountain, the vegetation was still dense.

There are tall grasses everywhere.

Vines grow everywhere.

If you want to move forward smoothly, you can only use a machete to cut the branches of various trees and cut off the vines blocking the road.

These are not the most annoying.

The mosquitoes in the woods and grass are the most exaggerated.

As everyone walked, they could see groups of large mosquitoes as long as finger knuckles from time to time.

Various colorful spiders.

There are all kinds of strange insects on the trees.

As for the scorpions, centipedes, ants and the like on the ground, they can't be seen clearly because the vegetation is too dense.

As a Gu Master, Gu Bai found it much easier to walk in the woods.

All the mosquitoes began to flee a few feet away from Gu Bai.

The smell of the little green snake on Gu Bai's body brought great oppression to these insects.

These insects didn't dare and had no way to get close to Gu Bai.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who were walking in front, had suffered from the mosquitoes and scolded them all the way.

But Shirley Yang, who had been walking not far from Gu Bai, could not feel the pain at all.

Shirley Yang did see a lot of scary big bugs, but these bugs couldn't get close to her at all.

After about an hour of walking out, the attentive Shirley Yang was finally sure.

It’s not that these insects can’t get close to him, but that they can’t get close to Gu Bai!

Shirley Yang looked at Gu Bai with more and more awe.

The legendary Gu Master is truly amazing.

If it weren't for Gu Bai, the three of them would have suffered so much along the way!
After Gu Bai walked for a while, he felt the little green snake on his left arm begin to stir.

Gu Bai immediately realized that the little green snake was hungry.

For humans who break into the jungle, these poisonous insects are very scary.

But for the little green snake, these poisonous insects in the jungle are very nutritious food.

Even if it cannot absorb energy, it can increase the toxicity of the little green snake and enhance its strength.

Gu Bai looked at Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi, who were working hard to clear the way ahead and were bitten by mosquitoes, and felt sorry for them.

"Okay, go ahead, don't go too far."

Gu Bai said in his consciousness.

Afterwards, the little green snake rushed down from Gu Bai's shoulder as if in joy, and preyed on poisonous insects all around the group of people.

This time, the jungle felt like it was exploding.

Almost everything with wings, anything that could jump, and everything that could crawl was frightened to death.

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang, who were walking at the front, were also surprised to find that those annoying mosquitoes disappeared completely in almost an instant.

Not even the other poisonous insects appeared again.

After dark, the little green snake finally came back.

And when he came back, he brought a gift for Gu Bai.

A small black ball.

It looks like a liquid and is extremely viscous.

It's a bit like honey collected by bees.

Gu Bai took the small ball and immediately heard the prompt.

[You obtain the essence of poison. By analyzing it, the power of your poison skill increases by 100%, the distance of your poison skill increases by 100%, and the range of your poison skill increases by 100%.]

Is there such a good thing?
Gu Bai looked at the little green snake on his left arm, which was staring at him with its small green bean-like eyes.

He even takes credit for it.

There will be more of this kind of good stuff in the future.

It seems that the Insect Valley filled with poisonous insects and miasma is still an enormous treasure for Gu Bai.

If he could collect enough poison essence, Gu Bai would be able to improve his poison skills to an extremely terrifying level.

After it got dark, several people decided to set up camp.

After all, we started making the bamboo rafts in the morning and walked until dark.

I am exhausted both mentally and physically.

The place Hu Bayi chose to camp was on top of two large bluestones.

It is really difficult to choose a camping site in this subtropical jungle.

Building a fire on the large bluestone and drying the surface of the stone can at least ensure a dry and ventilated environment.

Gu Bai's attention was on the surrounding environment.

Soon Gu Bai saw two tall and dense banyan trees not far away.

These two big banyan trees are so obvious.

They all look extremely strong.

What’s even more peculiar is that the trunks of the two large banyan trees actually began to entangle with each other at a height of more than one person.

It looks like twisting a dough stick.

Gu Bai knew that this kind of tree was called the Husband and Wife Tree.

The top of this pair of trees looks like a huge umbrella.

Moreover, on the thick tree trunks, there were many subtropical plants that Gu Bai could not recognize.

These parasitic plants also grow particularly lushly.

It is also full of colorful and beautiful flowers.

The two husband and wife trees look like a big flower basket.

Gu Bai nodded with satisfaction.

The couple's banyan tree has arrived, and it seems that the plot has not gone astray.

Moreover, this huge couple's banyan tree hides many secrets.
