Chen Huo and his group rushed to the edge of the Demon Cave Forest at top speed.

The Pure Spirit Pearl in his arms trembled slightly, and the dense poison barrier, as if possessing consciousness, automatically retreated, opening a passage and forming a safe space.

Stepping inside, the poisonous barrier behind you slowly closes again, isolating you from the outside world.

Chen Huo turned his head and saw that Gu Wang and the others had already been swallowed up by the crowd.

Their figures gradually disappeared, transforming into countless flying Gu worms...

Xianyu gave up struggling, tears streaming down her face, and she fell into a daze.

Chen Huo sighed, speechless for a moment.

Murong Bingyun stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Xianyu, I understand how you feel, but the more you feel this way, the more we need to pull ourselves together!"

"Perhaps, if we find the treasure sooner and escape from the Demon Cave Forest, there might still be hope of rescuing your father and the others!"

"No matter what happens, we'll be on your side! You can consider us your family!"

"Yes, Holy Maiden, you are the Holy Maiden of our Miao region!" Ibu encouraged. "Besides the Gu King, you have countless others of your people!"

Xian Yu suddenly raised her head and vigorously wiped away her tears: "That's right, I need to pull myself together and get out of here as soon as possible. Maybe there's still hope for Father and the others!"

"Thank you so much, big brothers and sisters!"

"Let's go then!" Chen Huo patted her on the shoulder.

The infamous Demon Cave Forest was already well-known to the locals of Miao territory.

It was the first time for all of us to enter, and the strange sights inside were truly astonishing.

Countless unidentified plants intertwine and grow.

There are mushrooms the size of houses, toads the size of basketballs, and everything else is experiencing price surges that exceed the comprehension of ordinary people.

It even caused hallucinations at one point.

Did they enter another world, or did they shrink themselves and become part of the microscopic world?

"The Demon Cave Forest is so big, I wonder where the treasure is?" Old Xie looked around and said.

"Grandpa just told me that as long as we keep going straight, we'll find the treasure!" Xianyu pointed ahead. "And, there's something terrifying in the Demon Cave Forest, so everyone be careful!"

"What is it?" Chen Huo asked.

"Grandpa didn't say!" Xianyu shook her head.

This immediately put everyone on edge, making them more vigilant.

Keep moving forward.

Fortunately, apart from encountering some unusual small animals, there was no danger.

The surrounding light gradually dimmed, and the entire Demon Cave Forest took on a different atmosphere.

There were bioluminescent flying insects and plants that acted as a light source, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

"It's already evening!" Murong Bingyun glanced at her watch. "Luckily, there's natural light here, otherwise we'd be completely lost in the dark!"

"Everyone's been traveling all day and is tired. Let's rest first and continue our journey tomorrow!" Chen Huo suggested.

So the group found a relatively high spot and set up camp.

Since they had no dry food with them, they had to make do with what they had on hand.

Ibrahimovic and Lao Xie, being long-time wanderers and locals from Miao territory, do recognize some ingredients.

Although it is larger than the outside, it is non-toxic and usable after testing.

The group lit a campfire and gathered around it to eat.

Considering Xianyu's low spirits, Chen Huo asked Murong Bingyun to accompany Xianyu to rest early.

He and Ibrahimovic, among others, took turns keeping watch.

Silence fell over the surroundings.

Apart from the chirping of insects in the grass and the occasional soft sound of the campfire, it was very peaceful.

It's a good place to sleep!

"Young Master Chen, go to sleep. Old Xie and I will keep watch from now on!"

Ibrahimovic woke up from a nap, yawning as he took over his shift.

Chen Huo nodded, glanced at Murong Bingyun and Xian Yu, and then leaned against a big tree to rest.

"Young Master Chen...Young Master Chen..."

Suddenly, someone called his name.

Chen Huo frowned and subconsciously looked at Ibu and Lao Xie.

The two were sitting around the campfire, smoking to stay awake.

Did you call me?

"No!" Ibrahimovic looked confused.

"Young Master Chen, are you just too tired and hallucinating?" Old Xie joked.

"I'm so tired... so tired..." The voice came again the next moment.

Chen Huo, Ibu, and Lao Xie's expressions immediately changed.

Because they saw each other, they did not speak.

The sound wasn't made by them at all!

Could there be other people here?

"What the hell is going on?" Ibu rubbed his face vigorously and looked around, but found nothing unusual.

"No, this isn't right!" Old Xie's expression revealed a hint of tension. "It's understandable if only one person is hallucinating, but it's impossible for everyone to be hallucinating at the same time. There must have been other people talking just now!"

"Old Xie, don't scare me, it can't be that weird, can it?" Ibu was a little scared.

"Old Xie, Old Xie..." The voice rang out again as soon as the words were spoken.

This time, they all heard it clearly.

The sound was strange.

Each sentence is incomplete, and words are always repeated.

Even the tone of voice didn't sound like something a normal person would make.

It has that electronic voice of a tape recorder!

"Who goes there!"

"Who the hell is playing tricks on me? Show yourself!"

Ibrahimovic and Old Xie shouted at him sternly.

"Get out, get out..." The only response they received was the same mechanical repetition of the same words.

But it was getting closer and closer, accompanied by rustling sounds.

Something's up!

Chen Huo gave a low shout, waking the others.

"What happened?"

"What's that sound?"

Murong Bingyun, Xian Yu, and the others all woke up and gathered together.

Then, in the darkness, streaks of crimson light appeared.

It gradually came into view, illuminated by the campfire.

They were long, densely packed, crimson snakes.

They stand upright like humans, and those specks of light are their eyes.

He just stared straight at everyone!

"Holy crap, there's a snake!"

"What the hell is that snake? It looks so weird!"

"Everyone be careful!"

As soon as Chen Huogang reminded them, the snakes began to move.

They swung their bodies, and the two red lumps of flesh on their necks, resembling rooster combs, instantly opened up, allowing them to make brief leaps.

Extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, they pounced on him!

Chen Huo immediately mustered his strength and raised his hand to strike.

"Everyone be careful, don't get bitten by the snake!"

"what!"

What you fear most is what happens.

One person reacted a little slower and was immediately bitten on the neck, letting out a scream and falling to the ground, struggling violently.

However, before he could continue howling, a terrifying scene unfolded.

His body began to corrode rapidly, as if it had been doused with concentrated sulfuric acid.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a lump of rotten flesh and putrid fluid!

Everyone gasped in shock.

In their minds, even the fiercest snake would at most bite a person to death.

These strange, red snakes in front of you can actually rot a person!

It's hard to imagine how potent the toxins are contained within!
