Infinite: From the Resident Evil

Swish!

As the anti-poison beads appeared, the almost invisible green miasma that permeated the periphery quickly faded away like melting ice and snow.

After Shen Ye estimated the distance at which the anti-poison bead could be effective, it was about seven or eight meters, so he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the effect was quite good and that it might be no problem for thirty to fifty people.

However, just in case, before leaving, he still asked everyone around him to stay close to him.

then……

"set off!"

(Transition chapter, very bland, mainly because there is no conflict to write about)

Chapter 458! The Poison Cave

……

Miao territory is very large, with hundreds of thousands of mountains.

Although the name of Wandu Cave contains the word "cave", it does not mean that it is inside a cave. It is also very large.

So after Shen Ye and his group passed through that layer of poisonous miasma, they had to continue passing through one forest after another.

They didn't know how long they walked, until the sun was high in the sky, when they finally saw people.

"That... is where the Ten Thousand Poison Cave is truly located."

Looking at the Miao village not far away, Chi Meng lifted the cloak that covered her face. She was the Saint of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. It was okay outside, as not many people knew her, but inside the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, almost everyone knew her.

Now that her father, the Gu King, was imprisoned and most of the forces in the Ten Thousand Poison Cave had surrendered to the Witch King, it was naturally impossible for her to show up in public as usual.

She added, "We will sneak in later. Don't run around. Be careful of the Witch King's spies. Find my father first."

Listening to Chi Meng's words, Shen Ye and others also looked at the seemingly ordinary Miao village. Of course, it was called ordinary because there was almost no difference between this Miao village and the Miao villages outside. The only difference was that it was a bit big and looked similar to a county town in the Central Plains.

Shen Ye looked at them for a while, then retracted his gaze and said calmly: "No need to go through so much trouble, just charge in and kill all those who have surrendered to the Witch King."

Chi Meng immediately said anxiously: "That won't do. My dad said that every insect master is a treasure of Miaojiang. It is very troublesome to train an insect master. If you want to kill, kill the Witch King."

"Ok."

Shen Ye nodded helplessly, but when he thought about it, Chi Meng was the Saint of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, so naturally she didn't want to see a river of blood in the Cave. Besides, if he killed everyone, then the Ten Thousand Poison Cave would have no need to exist, and Chi Meng, the Saint, would probably become a commander without troops.

"Then let's go in and take a look at what this Poison Cave looks like."

After Shen Ye finished speaking, he walked over first, and the others followed behind him, looking around curiously.

The group quickly arrived at the gate of the Miao village, but there were no guards at all, so they went straight in.

"It seems to be more lively here than outside!" Lu Linxuan held Shen Ye's arm and looked curiously at a Miao people climbing a mountain of knives in the distance. Dozens of Miao people gathered at the foot of the mountain of knives that looked like a centipede, and some of them cheered from time to time.

"It's completely different from what was rumored."

As soon as they entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons, they found that this place was completely different from the legendary Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons in the Central Plains. It was not gloomy or scary at all, and there were no poisonous insects and snakes crawling all over the ground. It was just as ordinary as it looked from the outside, no different from most of the Miao villages they had visited, and even more lively.

"Of course, insect masters are also human beings, not pure monks. They also need to eat, have fun, make money, and live." Chi Meng swam in front with his hands behind his back, then turned around and said proudly: "In fact, the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was not like this before. I heard from Brother You Chuan that the Ten Thousand Poison Cave was really full of poisonous insects and snakes. Later, after my father became the Gu King, the environment here gradually improved."

Seeing the Miao Saintess who was proud of her father's deeds, Shen Ye naturally did not hesitate to praise: "My future father-in-law is really amazing."

"whee……"

Chi Meng smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

Of course, that was followed by several cold snorts.

But Shen Ye counted and there seemed to be five sounds. What about the extra one?

He turned his head and looked at the elder sister who was biting a candy man in confusion, but the elder sister looked at him more puzzledly, and then raised the candy man in her hand to him: "Baby, do you want to eat it too?"

That's what I gave you, okay?

Shen Ye stopped looking at her immediately and turned his head back, but he did not notice the flash of blood in his sister's eyes.

Next, the group continued to walk deeper into the Miao village.

Along the way, the group saw many people with "unique skills" performing there. Not to mention the acrobatics like walking on a mountain of knives and diving into a sea of ​​fire, there were also people performing stunts like scooping money out of an oil pan, rolling on a needle board, and swallowing charcoal. This made everyone in the most mysterious Wan Du Cave in Miaojiang feel relaxed. The youngest sister even shouted and pulled Lu Linxuan over to give him a tip.

However, as the group continued to go deeper, the real Poison Cave gradually appeared before them.

On a roadside wooden frame, there was a skinny man with his hands and feet tied up, his body covered with scorpions and centipedes. As a nearby insect master chanted a spell in an inaudible voice, the skinny man let out a series of creepy screams.

Except for Chi Meng, several girls were frightened by this scene, and their faces turned ugly. Even Shi Yao couldn't help but touch her face, as if she thought of something bad.

"Master, what are they doing?" Hou Qing asked with a frown. He was a mysophobe and his expression was not much better than the girls, but he was a man after all, so his reaction was not that big.

"They should be selecting insect masters, right? However, it's not the promotion meeting on the fifth day of May, so why are there so many unfamiliar insect masters from other places coming to participate in the competition? Is that poisonous turtle plotting something?" Chi Meng answered Hou Qing's question first, then frowned and looked at the hundreds of insect masters gathered not far away. None of them looked familiar, so they were definitely insect masters from outside.

"It's obvious." Shen Ye's gaze moved away from the man on the wooden rack. It was a young man. Although he was skinny, judging from his hair quality, he should be less than 30 years old. He was not Chi Meng's father.

Then, he looked behind the group of insect masters who were participating in the competition. There were hundreds of wooden frames, and inside each of them was a skinny person.

After thinking for a while, Shen Ye said to Chi Meng: "Meng'er, take a look, is there anyone you know in there?"

But Chi Meng just glanced at them and shook his head: "No one looks familiar, they are all new faces, and generally, those who are used to screen insect masters are those who have committed heinous crimes and unforgivable crimes against the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. Although they are cruel, they deserve it."

Obviously, Chi Meng said this in accordance with the previous code of conduct of the Ten Thousand Poison Cave.

Shen Ye frowned, but did not respond to Chi Meng's words. Instead, he glanced at the people in the wooden frames again, but he did not see his future father-in-law.

"Could it be that the Gu King is still imprisoned by the Witch King?" Although the plot has changed, Shen Ye is still thinking about the bright side and doesn't dare to think of another possibility at all.

That is, due to his appearance, and the possibility that Yuan Tiangang might make a plan against him in Miaojiang, the Witch King took action against the Gu King in advance.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye sighed in his heart: "Oh, I hope my future father-in-law is still alive."

……

Chapter 459! King Qi

(I have reached one million words, but the book is not finished yet)

……

The crowd did not stay in the streets of the Miao village for too long. Led by the already anxious Chi Meng, they headed towards the big village where the Gu King was imprisoned.

The big village is near the Miao village. It is a building similar to the Central Plains courtyard. However, when Shen Ye and his group arrived, the place was deserted. Only traces of fighting and bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up in time were left.

"Master, this blood has been dry for at least four or five days."

Hou Qing had been dealing with blood for who knows how many years, and he could tell at a glance when the oxidized and blackened blood was left. He poked the blood-stained ground with the tip of his umbrella and frowned slightly.

Chi Meng had already run all over the village at this time. When she heard Hou Qing's words, the little girl's eyes suddenly turned red.

"That means something happened to my dad? That means I am still late."

Having said that, Chi Meng couldn't hold back any longer and started screaming.

At this time, Shen Ye had to take action. He carefully held Chi Meng in his arms, patted her on the back, and said, "As the saying goes, if a person is alive, we must see him in person; if he is dead, we must see his body. As long as we can't see the body, it proves that your father should still be alive. Maybe he was just imprisoned somewhere else by the Witch King."

Chi Meng hugged Shen Ye's waist, tears streaming down her face, soon soaking a large area of ​​Shen Ye's chest. Then she wiped her tears and said with a sob, "But, where else can my dad be imprisoned? Woo woo..."

"I'll go grab someone and ask him."

Hou Qing couldn't bear to see his master crying, so he turned the bone flute in his hand and turned to leave.

But at this moment, Chi Meng raised her head from Shen Ye's arms and called him.

"Apprentice, wait a moment... If you need to find someone, I know who would be the best person to look for."

She wiped away the tears that had fallen again, let go of Shen Ye, and continued, "You guys follow me."

……

In the huge wooden house, a handsome, white-haired Miao young man sat cross-legged in front of a desk, staring at a piece of paper on the desk in a daze.

There was only a short sentence on the note.

The saint has returned to Miaojiang and brought people to kill the leader of Jiuli Village.

"So, Chi Meng, have you already found help? It seems I don't have to go out to look for you anymore."

The white-haired Miao youth let out a long sigh, lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.

"But since you can't find your father, you should come to me soon, right?"

When he said this, a hint of anticipation appeared on the white-haired young man's sad expression.

Then he put away the note on the table, stood up and walked towards the door. He had been at home for most of the day and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

But before he reached the door, the window in the room suddenly creaked.

The white-haired young man was stunned for a moment, then a bitter smile appeared on his face. He said to the girl behind him who was holding a knife against his neck: "Chi Meng, you're back."

Then he turned his head slightly and glanced at Shen Ye and others behind Chi Meng from the corner of his eye, and asked again: "Are they the helpers you invited?"

"Yes, if you don't help me, then I can only find someone else." Chi Meng nodded, took a deep breath, and continued: "You Chuan, take me to find my dad, maybe we can still be friends."

"We have always been friends." The white-haired young man named You Chuan said with some excitement.

Chi Meng shook his head: "No, when we left Miaojiang, the moment I asked you for help and you didn't agree, we were no longer together."

As soon as these words came out, the white-haired young man's still bright eyes dimmed instantly, and at the same time, a trace of struggle appeared on his face.

Seeing that he was already somewhat shaken, Chi Meng struck while the iron was hot and said, "You Chuan... Brother You Chuan, take us to find my dad."

The call of "Brother You Chuan" stunned the white-haired young man for a moment, and then he nodded slowly as if he had made some decision.

"Okay, I'll take you to find the Gu King, but I'm not sure if he's still imprisoned there, because two days ago I heard my foster father say that he was going to move the Gu King to another place."

Chi Meng thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, take us there first. If we don't find it, we can look for it somewhere else."

At this time, Shen Ye interrupted and said, "Don't go through so much trouble. Just take us directly to find the Witch King. As long as we get rid of him, those who have surrendered to him will naturally turn to the Gu King."

"No, he is my godfather, I won't take you there." You Chuan glanced at Shen Ye. Somehow, he felt unhappy with Shen Ye.

Then he added coldly: "Moreover, my adoptive father's strength is far above the Great Heaven Realm, and he has a group of Great Heaven Realm masters under him. Do you think you can defeat my adoptive father? You are simply dreaming."

"Sorry, I don't dream without certainty." Shen Ye chuckled, picked up a brush on You Chuan's desk, and turned it lightly on his fingertips.
