Hu Chen Wanmu looked at the peach blossom forest blocking the way ahead. This peach blossom forest did not grow on the ground, but grew on a patch of earthworm leaves that looked like a green ocean.
The woods were rising and falling like green waves with the fishy earthworm leaves. The entire peach forest was swaying and dancing. The peach blossoms on the branches were like bits of spring snow, flying in the air.
In the green ocean of earthworm leaves, some black spots would occasionally appear, then disappear in the undulating green ocean, and the next moment, appear in another place.
Hu Chen Wanmu had already stopped breathing, and the spiritual shield isolated everything outside. But at this moment, he had to constantly use his magic power to maintain the spiritual shield.
Outside the spiritual power shield, there were constant "bang bang bang" sounds. Those were the collision sounds caused by the spiritual power shield being attacked by the flying petals.
Hu Chen Wanmu stared at the countless black spots that kept emerging from the green ocean with his eagle-like eyes. He knew what that was!
"Three-legged Carrion Earthworm" is a first-stage mid-stage monster that likes to eat rotten corpses of living creatures. It can condense terrifying venom, which will produce maggots once it comes into contact with flesh and blood.
Each of them has a tiny body and sharp spikes on their heads, which will drill into flesh and blood in an instant. Any flesh and blood that blocks their way will rot and fall off in an instant, just like chiseling channels in the human body, and the flesh and blood will splash and fall to the ground like flying mud.
Afterwards, it will be eaten up by the three-legged earthworms on the ground, and in the end all you will see is an empty skeleton. Even the soul will be corroded and devoured if it escapes slowly.
Three-legged earthworms like to live under spiritual plants such as the earthworm leaves, and they live in groups, often with as few as dozens or as many as tens of thousands.
After just a short observation, Hu Chen Wanmu saw no less than a thousand three-legged earthworms.
The strength of a three-legged carrion earthworm is equivalent to that of a cultivator at the fifth to sixth level of Qi Condensation. Although a Foundation Establishment cultivator can easily face hundreds or thousands of Qi Condensation cultivators, it still depends on what kind of opponent they are facing.
A monster like the three-legged carrion earthworm is something that you simply cannot touch. If you get a splash of its blood while killing it, the consequence will be that you will have an extra maggot that will directly invade your body.
By the time Hu Chen Wanmu spares a bit of his magic power to stop or kill, both his speed of action and the circulation of his magic power will be hindered, and more three-legged earthworms will swarm in, bringing him unimaginable consequences.
In addition, there is the huge threat posed by the peach blossom forest. He feels the constant pressure from outside the spiritual power shield, and his body begins to retreat rapidly.
Before he could figure out a solution, the peach forest here alone could cost him his life.
After Hu Chen Wanmu left the peach blossom forest five feet away from its border, the peach blossoms flying and falling around his body no longer followed him.
Those flying peach blossoms look beautiful, but in fact, every peach blossom hitting the spiritual power shield is like a thousand-pound hammer hitting it directly.
Even at the level of Hu Chen Wan Mu Jia Dan, his magic power had been rapidly consumed by nearly 20% in just a short while. If he added the green ocean-like stretches of fishy earthworm leaf grass below the peach blossom forest, he would not be able to pass quickly at all.
“The peach blossom forest here is not poisonous. Instead, the peach blossom petals emit a strange fragrance, which makes the fishy earthworm leaves under the peach blossom forest more vibrant.
This in turn causes the three-legged earthworms under the fishy earthworm leaves to become increasingly excited, and they will attack any living creature that enters without hesitation.
Each attack of the peach blossom petals is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Condensation.
Under normal circumstances, one only needs to raise the spiritual power shield and fly quickly. With full effort at a distance of a hundred feet, even if one withstands these attacks head-on, it will probably be done within ten breaths. Most of these attacks can still be avoided by relying on speed.
However, flying is prohibited here. Once you step in, you will face attacks from the three-legged earthworms swarming below. A trace of saliva or blood from these things will be a nightmare.
What's more, there are peach blossoms flying all over the sky, which will be like a group of Qi Condensation Level 10 cultivators coming one after another, attacking without regard for their lives. If you are not careful, you will fall here."
Looking at the peach blossom forest that was a hundred feet away, Hu Chen Wanmu suddenly felt helpless.
What made him feel a little relieved was that the three-legged earthworms here should have been treated by the ancestor Hu Chen. Although they were terrifying, they only moved in the waves formed by the fishy earthworm leaves and did not leave the peach blossom forest to attack.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to flee.
Another thing that made Hu Chen Wanmu feel a little relieved was that on another small road ten feet away from him, there was no trace of the cultivator named Li until now, which gave him time to think.
Just as Hu Chen Wanmu was thinking about how to get through the blockade in front of him, Li Yan had already caught up slowly and leisurely on the huge light curtain that everyone in the square was looking at.
As Li Yan continued to move forward, he absorbed more and more of the various mixed poisons, and his body was gradually feeling boiling.
The toxins that were continuously inhaled flowed throughout the body with the blood, and Li Yan's skin changed color like a revolving lantern, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes black, and sometimes red.
After each toxin circulates through his body, it is absorbed completely by the thirty separated pieces of tendons, bones and flesh every time it passes through his lower abdomen or chest.
After each absorption, Li Yan could feel that the magic power in his body had a very subtle improvement and became more refined. If he did not pay close attention, he would not be able to detect the change in the magic power at all. This made Li Yan, who had been paying close attention, ecstatic.
But this time, he felt extremely uncomfortable. After the poison entered his body, the first thing it brought him was not surprise, but various discomforts.
It was either burning like a furnace, or peeling like marrow being extracted, or he felt as if he had fallen into a freezing cold earth in an instant, freezing him unconscious. This made his face change color constantly, and he would stop from time to time to move his facial features, circulate his magic power to speed up the blood circulation in his body.
"These are the three most poisonous bodies of the Wuliang Sect. The pain of normal separation and advancement is relatively light. This method of relying on external forces to improve not only has unknown dangers, but the pain is even greater."
Li Yan was thinking in his mind. As he continued to swallow the surrounding poisonous fog, rainwater, etc., he also found that some toxins could not be dissolved immediately.
A part of it seemed to have settled in the body, which made Li Yan, who had swallowed such a large amount of poison for the first time, feel uneasy.
He never thought that the Fragmented Poison Body could resist all the poisons in the world. Thinking about the things that Hu Chen Patriarch used for the test, after compressing its power by 80%, some of the things he encountered were already unable to be swallowed, which showed how terrifying Hu Chen Patriarch was. Therefore, on the way, whenever Li Yan found that the poison he inhaled could not be dissolved immediately, he would not continue to absorb it in this area, but speed up his pace and move forward.
Along the way, although the air was mixed with various poisons, Li Yan was still able to identify quite a few of them, and he selected and swallowed them.
His actions presented a completely different picture to everyone in the square.
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw Li Yan's exposed skin suddenly turned into khaki as he walked forward.
"That person has been poisoned by the 'Houshadou'. Is he going to withdraw from the competition so soon?"
And in the disappointed eyes of everyone, especially the old ancestor Hu Chen, a sinister and cold look flashed across his face.
Li Yan also stopped immediately after being poisoned. While moving his facial features, he took out a pill and swallowed it tremblingly. After just a few breaths, Li Yan slowly raised his head, and his complexion had returned to normal.
Then he took another step forward, but just when everyone thought he was going to move forward for a distance, Li Yan's face turned red as blood again, and the next moment, it was purple as pig liver.
"This is Purple Heart Wood. How come I got poisoned by Purple Heart Wood again so soon?"
Many people saw that Li Yan was poisoned again just after taking a few steps, as if the defense outside his body was completely ineffective.
After Li Yan stopped, his face was filled with pain, as if the blood in his body had stopped flowing and had instead gathered together, blocking the flow and turning it purple. It seemed that if he couldn't breathe, he would immediately collapse.
Even Hu Chen Tingchun, who had been covering the mountain with all his spiritual sense, was about to take action when Li Yan's whole body suddenly shook, as if all the meridians in his body were suddenly opened up. His complexion quickly returned to normal, and then he slowly walked forward again.
This scene was so shocking that not only the cultivators in the square could not understand it, but even Patriarch Hu Chen was stunned for a moment.
"What kind of detoxification method is this? I have never heard of it before. It can remove the poison without the need for elixirs, and use magic power to force the poison out
Is this person really from a family of poison cultivators who never appear in public? No, I have never heard of such a skill that seems to be able to cure a hundred poisons. Could it be that…”
Thinking of this, Patriarch Hu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If there really is a kind of skill in this world that can cure hundreds of thousands of poisons, then this skill is too terrifying. It is the nightmare of all poison practitioners, and this kind of person must be killed no matter what.
There were also many knowledgeable people in the square. After thinking for a moment, they couldn't help but shout.
"I know why this person can detoxify like this. He must have some kind of treasure that can detoxify strange poisons. So whenever he is poisoned, he just needs to stop and detoxify it. I guess this is why he dares to participate in the assessment of my Hu Chen family."
As soon as this person said this, many people nodded.
Even Patriarch Hu Chen nodded slightly. What this person said was just as he thought. It was just that when it came to detoxification, poison cultivators usually thought of the antidote first, followed by skills and magic weapons. He was also confused for a moment.
"To have such a treasure on him, this person must be a disciple of a large sect, otherwise such a treasure and such a cultivation level would not be worthy of possessing it."
Someone immediately responded, and then many people's eyes turned to Hu Chen Wuding.
Hu Chen Wuding simply ignored these gazes. He stared at the light curtain in the air without blinking, thinking about this question in his heart.
"Brother Li's actions are mysterious, but judging from his previous methods of poisoning, they have always been so silent and strange. Could he really be a man with a treasure? But how do you explain his method of poisoning? That is a real skill."
Although Li Yan had taken precautions against others from snooping into his background, his actions could not be fully explained after all.
At this moment, he was immersed in cultivation. As he absorbed more and more poison, the toxicity became more and more fierce, and the speed at which his magic power increased also increased.
Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to achieve this kind of improvement, even if he meditated day and night and did not practice hard for more than a month, he would not be able to achieve the results he achieved in just half a quarter of an hour today.
Li Yan even felt that if he could continue to practice like this, it would only take seven or eight days for him to reach the middle stage of foundation building. However, he also knew in his heart that this was just a thought.
As he devoured all the way, Li Yan discovered that when he had devoured a certain amount of a certain poison, the poison would settle down after he inhaled it again, and would no longer melt into his flesh and blood to increase his magic power.
Li Yan guessed that it might be a kind of highly toxic stimulation that has a certain degree of effect. When the amount reaches a certain level, it will no longer have any effect.
Before he knew it, he had arrived about ten feet away from the peach blossom forest.
Although most of Li Yan's mind was immersed in cultivation, he still separated a wisp of his spiritual consciousness and kept an eye on his surroundings at all times.
At this moment, he clearly felt a gaze coming towards him, and it was the Hu Chen Wanmu that he sensed.
Li Yan collected his thoughts and looked up, only to see a large peach blossom forest in front of him. Pink peach blossoms were dancing and swirling, floating lightly all over the sky, like a world of spring snow, which was extremely beautiful.
Hu Chen Wanmu was ten feet away from him, with a cluster of thorns in between. It was obvious that these things were extremely poisonous, so it was difficult for the two of them to reach the path where the other was.
Although the two paths come from two different directions, they can see each other and hear the sounds from the other side.
