Starting from the scattered cultivator family, daily intelligence

Chapter 24, Return to Sanchaling
"Wow~Wow~" In the jungle with lush trees, the first rays of morning sun shine on the jungle, and the dew condenses on the green grass and flowers, reflecting the dazzling light.

A figure quickly passed through the lush jungle, disturbing a few purple unknown flowers, which fell to the dewy ground.

"Pah~Pah~" But in the blink of an eye, three figures came one after another and dropped the three purple flowers and stepped into the mud.

"This is it. According to the map, the remains of the first-level spiritual plant master that the Miaoshan bandits found are hidden in this swamp."

Mu Kehua's old figure stood on a rock. His green robe, which he had quickly passed through the dense jungle weeds, was only stained with a little dew and not a speck of mud. He looked at the swamp below and said.

Mu Yunsheng stood behind Mu Kehua. When he heard the sound, he looked and saw an acre-sized black swamp at the foot of the hill in front of him. Poisonous gas was surging in it, and white bones were covered in it. There was no trace of green.

The surrounding trees are tall and deep, and the mountains are connected, forming a low-lying swamp that never sees sunlight all year round and where poisonous gas gathers.

"Uncle, where is the place where the first-level spiritual plant master passed away?" Mu Qinghu asked. He looked at the surrounding hillside jungles and black swamps with his tiger eyes, and did not find any obvious traces of the place where the cultivator passed away.

"In the cave of the bone-melting poisonous toad in this swamp." Mu Kehua said, looking at a large black hole in the center of the black swamp, the entrance of which was covered with white bones.

This is the cave of a first-rank medium-grade monster, the Bone-Evolving Poison Toad. Although the Bone-Evolving Poison Toad is named after the bone-evolving monster, it does not eat bones. Instead, it digests its prey in its stomach and then spits out the prey's bones, accumulating them in a dark and damp place where poisonous gas gathers.

When the accumulated bones and the accumulated poisonous gas form a toxic gas in a dark and damp place, the bone-dissolving poisonous toad will absorb the toxic gas.
The piles of white bones in the black swamp are the bones of the poisonous bone-eating toads in the swamp. They spit out the bones of their prey after hunting them.

"This swamp is already filled with the toxic air bred by the Bone-Eroding Poison Toad. It will be very disadvantageous for us to fight against it."

"The good thing is that this swamp isn't very big. Meng Shu, go find the inlet and outlet of this swamp and see if you can divert the inlet and expand the outlet."

"Qinghu, go cut down the surrounding trees and trim the treetops so that sunlight can reach this swamp."

"Yun Sheng, you and Uncle Grandpa, look for the ventilation holes nearby and see if you can change the wind direction and blow it over here to disperse the poisonous gas in the swamp and lure the bone-melting poisonous toad out of the cave."

Mu Kehua instructed that they had come to look for this Bone-Dissolving Poison Toad at the sixth level of Qi Refining and had plenty of time to make all preparations.

For safety reasons, Mu Kehua even arranged Mu Qinghu, who had the highest cultivation level among the four of them, to do the most noisy task, which was to cut down the trees around the swamp.

In this way, even if the bone-dissolving poisonous toad in the swamp cave senses the movement and comes out of the cave, Mu Qinghu will be able to resist for a while and hold on until Mu Yunsheng and the others arrive.

"Yes~Uncle, big brother." Mu Qinghu and Mu Mengshu said. One of them was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and the other was at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

It is not difficult to cut down the surrounding shade trees and expand and redirect the inlet and outlet of this acre of swamp.

If Mu Yunsheng had not been afraid of making too much noise and attracting other people's attention, he could have destroyed all the ordinary trees surrounding the swamp with just one flaming magic knife.

Although the black swamp where the bone-dissolving poisonous toad is located is deep in Sanchaling, with the fallen leaves in the forest so thick that no one has ever been there, Mu Kehua still made comprehensive arrangements for safety.

"Yes, uncle." Mu Yunsheng nodded and replied, and followed Mu Kehua to look for a ventilation hole nearby.

"Don't enter any caves, don't venture into any forests. Yun Sheng, remember this from now on. Fighting monsters is a life-or-death struggle. Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must be fully prepared."

"If a monster is in a cave, lure it out of the cave. If a monster is in the forest, lure it out of the forest. Don't fight a monster in a place it is familiar with."

"The same applies to monks. Don't make enemies unless you have to. Once you do, you must be fully prepared and destroy them with lightning speed. Don't give them any chances."

Mu Kehua walked in the thick jungle of fallen leaves, looking for ventilation holes around him while talking to Mu Yunsheng. Mu Yunsheng listened and nodded silently, keeping Mu Kehua's words in mind.

Although Mu Kehua only has the cultivation level of the fourth level of Qi Refining, these low-level elderly cultivators with low cultivation levels can survive for a long time in the cultivator world because they have their own set of skills and caution.

The cultivators who die the most in the world of cultivators are those who know nothing, are unprepared, and rush into unfamiliar environments and monster caves.

The reason why Mu Yunsheng was so cautious when killing the two bandits in Miaoshan and didn't even touch the corpses himself was not only due to his life experiences in his previous life, but also inseparable from Mu Kehua's frequent advice.

"Bang~bang~" In the lush jungle at the edge of the swamp, dense and strange noises were heard. It was Mu Qinghu destroying the surrounding lush vegetation.

There was a faint spiritual light on his hand, and without even using any magic, he broke and knocked down the tall and lush tree in front of him with just one punch. Without stopping for a moment, he immediately walked towards the next tree.

It's like a bulldozer.

"This is it. The south wind blows in from here, but it's blocked by these rocks and trees, so it can't blow into the swamp."

It didn't take long for Mu Yunsheng and Mu Kehua to find an entrance to the south of the swamp.

However, this vent was blocked by rocks from somewhere, and there were even small trees and weeds growing on it, like a small dam, blocking the south wind.

"This monster is actually as intelligent as humans, but it's still a monster after all." Mu Kehua looked at the rock dam in front of him, which was obviously not a naturally formed windbreak. He smiled at Mu Yunsheng, then circulated the true energy in his body to cast a spell.

"Ground Trap Technique!"

"Boom~" The small windbreak dam made of rocks collapsed and sank into the ground.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" A strong south wind blew in immediately, howling towards the swamp where poisonous gas was condensed.

Still destroying the lush trees around the swamp, Mu Qinghu circulated his true energy and immediately stopped breathing.

"Uncle, that's the Wanze Ridge with poisonous fog over there, right?" Mu Yunsheng stood by the ventilated ventilation hole, looking at the mountains in the distance where a faint trace of red poisonous fog could be seen, and asked Mu Kehua.

"Yeah!" Mu Kehua nodded, looking at the poisonous fog in Wanze Ridge in the distance. The expression on his old face became desolate and complicated. After a moment, he sighed and turned to look at Mu Yunsheng, and gave instructions again.

"Yun Sheng, you must not enter the poisonous fog of Wanze Ridge to search for cultivation resources without permission. In addition to poisonous insects and monsters, there are also law enforcement teams from the seven families."

"They won't say anything when they see you. They'll kill you directly and then implicate our Mu family."

"Uncle, Yunsheng knows that no one will enter the poisonous fog Wanze Ridge without permission." Mu Yunsheng nodded and replied, withdrawing his gaze from the poisonous fog Wanze Ridge in the distance.

When Mu Kehua saw that Mu Yunsheng agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief on his old face, but when he looked at Mu Yunsheng, who was only 23 years old, and then at Mu Mengshu, who was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and himself.

The relieved smile on Mu Kehua's face disappeared, and an expression flashed in his old eyes. After a long moment, accompanied by the whistling south wind, he spoke in a low voice.

"If one day our Caoyang Mu family reaches a desperate situation, or if your path, Yun Sheng, reaches a dead end, then we will enter the poisonous fog of Wanze Ridge!"
