Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 18 Master and Apprentice Team Up to Fight Monsters

As the saying goes: A horse will die if it runs too far up the mountain.

Qiu Chuji and Wang Chongyang did not ride horses, so their feet were tired.

After climbing over many hills, Qiu Chuji finally stopped before night fell.

What a desolate scene of mountains and rivers ahead.

The surrounding hilltops were all covered with lush vegetation, except for the area before us, from the top of the mountain to the foot, where there was no vegetation at all.

Even birds don't fly over this mountain.

Walk a few steps forward and you can see many bones on the roadside. Some are animal bones, and some are human bones. There are still some bite marks on the bones, but it is difficult to tell what animal's tooth marks they are.

"What a perfect place!"

"The aura of death is so strong, it must be an ancient battlefield."

"This place may not be far from Wuzhangyuan."

Wang Chongyang sighed, but his steps did not stop at all.

Facing a huge army, he might be able to do nothing but sigh in vain, but he was full of confidence as he ventured alone into this dangerous area deep in the mountains.

There may be some rare and exotic species between heaven and earth, but humans are always the most intelligent creatures in the world, and Wang Chongyang has long been a top martial arts expert above all others.

The master and his disciple walked slowly, one in front and one behind.

Now that they had reached their destination, they were no longer in a hurry. They walked slowly, both recovering their inner strength and adjusting their conditions to the best.

They walked straight to the dangerous part of the mountain, crossed the barren rock slope covered with rubble, stepped over the muddy water pool with a large number of bones, and gradually entered a cave that slanted downward.

The cave is dark, but it actually presents a vitality that is completely opposite to the surface.

A large amount of mosses, as well as shade-loving and cold-loving plants, grow in the caves, layer upon layer.

Some flying insects are also active among the vegetation, bringing a prosperous scene that is completely different from the outside.

The most amazing thing is that as you go deeper into the earth, the 'color' of the surroundings also changes. The top circle of plants is all emerald green, then dark green, then light blue, and as you go deeper, it gradually turns into purple-red.

And at the bottom of the cave, there is a cold pond, in which blooms a rare flower that looks like a lotus and an orchid. The petals are purple, red, green and blue, but they do not appear messy, but have a unique and blooming beauty. The fragrance of the flower is faint, and it makes people feel refreshed all over.

"Four-color orchid! Also known as the 'resurrection grass'. There is such a magical medicine here. Chaoying can be saved!" The joy on Wang Chongyang's face was particularly obvious, and it was obvious that a huge stone had fallen from his heart.

Qiu Chuji, however, was on guard around him, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

"Be careful, I have smelled the stench of that beast."

"You protect yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chongyang had already drawn his sword and slashed it fiercely at the stone wall on the right with sword energy.

scoff!

The sound was shrill, and an ugly centipede that was seven or eight meters long and half a meter wide fell off the purple-red stone wall.

Its shell is hard, and it has the ability to mimic the color of its surroundings like a chameleon. Its aura blends completely with its surroundings. If Wang Chongyang's skills had not reached a level that was almost one with nature, he would not have been able to detect it quickly.

The ferocious centipede opened its huge mouth and rushed towards Wang Chongyang, trying to bite off Wang Chongyang and his sword in one bite.

At the same time, a highly poisonous and foul smell has been released, filling the cave.

Wang Chongyang swung his sword and chopped off several pieces of the giant centipede's shell. At the same time, he waved his palm, bringing up bursts of frost.

As the cold wind passed, the poison gas dissipated and turned into ice crystals, which fell to the ground. The Frost-Walking and Ice-Breaking Palm is one of the superior palm techniques of the Quanzhen Sect. This palm technique seems weak and powerless at first, but if the enemy dares to attack, it is like a sudden snowstorm with infinite stamina, so it is called the Frost-Walking and Ice-Breaking Palm. It does not mean that the frost can be moved by waving the palm.

However, Wang Chongyang was extraordinary. He wielded his palms and could adapt to the situation according to the enemy. His internal force went through a single Yin meridian and he used the palms to mobilize his true energy, turning it into ice and frost and eliminating the poisonous fog, making his name and reality live up to its name.

The long sword in Wang Chongyang's hand drove the sword energy, continuously cutting into the joints of the giant centipede's feet, cutting off its limbs, affecting its overall balance, reducing its speed and flexibility. At the same time, he moved among the rocks, leading the giant centipede away from the bottom of the cave. Obviously, he did not want to accidentally hurt the strange orchid at the bottom of the cave while fighting with it.

Qiu Chuji saw through Wang Chongyang's intention, and after walking around for a distance, he quietly floated to the bottom of the cave, intending to pick the orchid first.

"Be careful, the petals and stems of the Four-Colored Orchid are actually extremely poisonous. Anyone who comes into contact with them will die. The only thing that can really bring back the dead is its root."

"But before you dig out the root tuber, be sure not to damage the petals or the stems, otherwise the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced."

While fighting with the giant centipede, Wang Chongyang was also able to communicate secretly with Qiu Chuji, telling him the key points of collecting this spiritual creature.

Qiu Chuji nodded, stood by the pool at the bottom of the cave, thought for a moment, and then used his iron sword as a shovel to quickly dig a downward channel to lead the icy water in the pool out.

The water was not deep to begin with, and as the water level dropped, things hidden beneath the water surface also surfaced.

Near the roots of the Four-Colored Orchid, there was actually a toad squatting there. Its body was as red as blood, its eyes were shining with golden light, and it was no more than two inches long.

When it saw Qiu Chuji, it immediately made a roar like a bull, threatening Qiu Chuji.

"Be careful, retreat quickly!" Wang Chongyang's voice came immediately.

The moment Qiu Chuji saw this strange toad, he actually retreated several steps and looked for cover.

He recognized this thing, too.

The Manggu Red Halibut is the king of all poisons. Its breath of poisonous mist can easily turn living things into pus and blood.

Duan Yu is immune to all poisons, all thanks to eating this thing.

However, Duan Yu's adventure is basically impossible to replicate. The toxins of the lightning marten and the red and black centipede balanced the toxicity of the Manggu red clam, allowing Duan Yu to digest this most poisonous of all poisons.

This is not simply a matter of combination and matching, but a matter of measurement where a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

Pfft!

The red poisonous fog fell on the place where Qiu Chuji had just stood, corroding the ground and making a big hole.

The Manggu Zhuha made another dissatisfied cry.

The giant centipede that was originally entangled with Wang Chongyang seemed to have heard the call. It endured the severe pain and was slashed several times by Wang Chongyang's sword. It also retreated to the bottom of the cave and approached the Manggu Zhuha.

In this strange cave, the one guarding the four-colored orchid is not the giant centipede, but the Manggu Zhuha, the king of all poisons.

Both Qiu Chuji and Wang Chongyang were deceived.

If Qiu Chuji had not been more cautious and chosen to open a canal to release the water, but instead reached directly into the water to dig out the roots, he would have been bitten and killed.

At this moment, cold sweat covered Qiu Chuji's back.

At the same time, he kept walking and dodged in the air, avoiding a bite and attack from the giant centipede.

"Come back to me!" Wang Chongyang threw away his sleeves, rolled up the giant centipede's hind legs, and exerted a powerful dragging force. The huge centipede flew into the air and slammed heavily into the stone wall on the side.

At the same time, the Manggu Zhuha spewed out another poisonous mist, which floated towards Qiu Chuji.

It is obvious that he will not give up until Qiu Chuji is killed.
