"How does this poison compare to Weak Water and Strange Wind?" Fang Yun asked.

Hua Yuqing said: "The weak water wind is very strong, but the skin-eating poison is even more fierce. The fog in front of us is very light. Once the poison fog is twice as thick, the protective poetry at the level of Juren will not last for a few breaths. Moreover, the power of ordinary Wendan is simply unable to resist this poison fog. Only Wendan of the first level can barely resist it. Among us, only Yan Yukong can do it. Or Wendan directly reaches the second level. At that time, even if the power of Wendan is not consumed at all, the poison fog will be forced back."

"But what did Half-Saint Wang Chong say about 'a gentleman can avoid the four poisons'?" Fang Yun asked.

"Yes, delicious food, beauty, bravery and gossip are beneficial, but they are also very poisonous. Ordinary people should stay away from them. If you can reach the second level of Wendan, you don't have to be afraid. This is the so-called 'gentleman avoids the four poisons'. If someone among us can reach the second level of Wendan, we don't have to care about this level of skin-eating poison." Hua Yuqing said.

"If this sixth corridor is like the first five corridors, where the tribes are not allowed to fight, we can definitely break through this poisonous fog together. But we not only have to expend our energy to avoid the fog, but we also have to be on guard against sneak attacks from the monsters. Once a fight breaks out, even if we are not killed by the monsters, we may be poisoned to death."

"It's not that I don't want to do it, but I just can't." Someone sighed.

Quanxi looked at Niushan pitifully, and Niushan glared at it.

Before entering the Comet Corridor, Fang Yun guessed that there should be poisonous gas or something here. He didn't expect that the sixth corridor would become a highly toxic place. This kind of test would naturally become more difficult as time went on. The poisonous fog happened to be in the second to last corridor, which meant that it was far more dangerous than it looked now.

Fang Yun asked: "Yuqing, which tribe among the demons can control the poisonous mist that eats the skin?"

Hua Yuqing said without hesitation: "More than 10% of the snake tribes can control the poisonous mist, and a few centipede monsters can also do it."

"We often encounter poisonous snakes on the battlefield, and the skin-eating poisonous fog is among them." Sun Naiyong said.

Fang Yun frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, among the demon saints this time, there is a demon snake saint. Is that saint good at using poison?"

Kong Delun said: "That demon snake saint is very famous. I remember he is a master of poison control."

"What do you think I would do if I were the Wolf Saint or Long Ling, and knew that the Snake Saint was here?" Fang Yun asked.

"Fang Yun is right. The Holy Son of the Snake Clan is like a fish in water in the Sixth Corridor. This poisonous fog is beneficial to him rather than harmful. If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Son of the Snake Clan is probably waiting for us on the road!" Hua Yuqing said.

Fang Yun looked at the light green mist in front of him and said slowly: "If anyone wants to help me, don't come, because you will only drag me down; if anyone wants to repay me, don't come either, because since I am a human, everything I have done before is my holy way, and I don't need you to repay me. My holy way is not divided into inside and outside the holy ruins. If anyone wants to go to the seventh corridor, or even want to sit on the throne of the star, then please go with me and break through the mist. Smash the monsters and see the world behind the poisonous fog!"

After saying that, Fang turned around and glanced at everyone, meeting their gazes one by one.

Some were evasive, some were determined, some were doubtful, some were ashamed, some were helpless... there were all kinds of expressions.

"You can only come to the Comet Gallery once in your life. I will never be willing to go if I don't see what the Seventh Gallery looks like. I'll go." Yan Yukong said.

"My goal was to take a look at the Seventh Corridor and then return. I would never sit on the Star Throne. Now Fang Yun is leading me through the Sixth Corridor. This is a golden opportunity. How could I give up!"

"I'm used to following Fang Yun all the way, so I'll keep following him." Han Shoulu said with a smile.

"I defeated Fang Yun on the road to the Holy Ruins before entering the Holy Ruins. If I can't even walk with him now, how can I face people in the future? I must follow him. If I can get out alive, I can tell people that in the Holy Ruins, in the Comet Corridor, and in front of the Demonic Saint, I, Mo Shan, did not just follow behind Fang Yun. I was shoulder to shoulder with him!"

When Mo Shan said this, many candidates were moved.

"Alas..." Zong Wude sighed, "Mo Shan, your words are too harsh! I was not as good as him on the Holy Ruins Road. If I don't go to the Seventh Corridor now, I will never be able to compare with him in the future. And this time, I am afraid it will be my only chance to walk side by side with him. In order to be able to say that I didn't hide behind in the future, I have to go!"

"Mo Shan, you bastard! Just go! I... also want to fight alongside Fang Yun." Jia Jing'an smiled faintly. There was no decisiveness or resolution in his smile, only a hint of nostalgia.

Only by moving forward and getting better, are you qualified to linger, otherwise, you will only regret.

Those people who originally didn't want to go looked at these people, looked at these companions who were walking with them, and suddenly remembered Xun Ye's regretful look at the bottom of the avalanche slope, and the unbelievable and envious eyes at the Luoxing Bridge.

Those people gave up, those people regretted, am I going to become one of them

Shi Tang took a step forward and said with a smile: "I don't want to be laughed at by Xun Ye."

"Ah... Well, I scolded Xun Ye before, but I can't be worse than him, right? I'm leaving this sixth corridor. I'm not doing it to repay Master Fang, nor for the loyalty of the human race. I just want to see if the scenery beside Fang Yun is more beautiful than behind him."

Fang Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the heat in his heart that was surging towards his eyes.

Li Fanming put all the carrots in his pocket in front of the big rabbit, touched the rabbit's head, and said with a smile: "I am going to the Seventh Corridor. I can't take you with me. If you can't see me in the future, remember to be good and eat less. Don't eat your new master out of money."

The big rabbit widened its eyes and looked at Li Fanming with confusion and anxiety, with a questioning look.

Li Fanming squatted on the ground, smiled and stroked the rabbit's head, and said to everyone: "If I return to Kongcheng, I will treat all of you to flower wine."

"It's a deal!"

The big rabbit was stunned for a moment, and suddenly started eating the radish in big mouthfuls. Each bite was big and he chewed each piece carefully.

I will eat more and become stronger. If you can't come back, I will avenge you!

The big rabbit shed tears while eating, and then ate even harder.

Li Fanming seemed to have seen nothing. He stood up and turned around.

The other spirit beasts looked at their master silently, with tears in their eyes.

Niu Shan and Quan Xi couldn't understand what they were saying, but they could understand it.

"Let's go to the seventh corridor." Fang Yun said.

Hua Yuqing took out a medical book and said, "I will use this book to clear the way for you. This thin poisonous fog is a piece of cake for me. If it is 30% thicker, I will not be able to handle it."

"I have a book called 'Memorandum of City Defense'. This book was written by my ancestor of the Sun family. It contains many methods to restrain Lin Man's poisonous monster. Although I only copied two volumes of this military book and its power is extremely weak, it is a military book after all. It is not difficult to avoid poison in a short time." Sun Naiyong said.

"I have reached the highest level of literary talent and can hold on for a while. As for anti-poison poems, I really can't write one. I'm afraid it would be a waste of my talent if I did." Yan Yukong said.

The other candidates showed the same regretful look. Before, they had exhausted their energy trying to resist the avalanche in front of the avalanche slope, and later they had to break through the long corridor one after another. Although they were full of talent, their minds were like a candle that was about to burn out. It was impossible for them to have the energy to create powerful enough poetry to turn the virtual into reality.

"We have seen a lot of romance and can easily recite poems, but it is really difficult to drive away the poisonous fog and poisonous monsters with poems. However, after many baptisms of Wenqu Star Power, our strength has improved. Even if the Son of the Snake Clan blocks our way, we don't need to be afraid!"

"Forward!" Fang Yun gave an order, and everyone started moving forward.

A thin medical book was floating in front of Hua Yuqing's chest. Although it was an imitation of his ancestor's medical book and its power was extremely weak, it was enough to deal with this level of poisonous fog.

Then, a white light flew out from the yellow cover of the medical book, covering everyone like a big umbrella.

"Walk!"

In a faint green poisonous fog, on a barren road, everyone moved forward quickly using the light umbrellas formed by medical books.

After a while, Quan Xi suddenly yelled loudly, and everyone immediately looked around, ready to take action at any time.

"What's wrong?" Fang Yun asked.

Quan Xi said nervously: "I smell the scent of the snake clan. The scent is very special. It must have been left by the Holy Son of the Demon Clan!"

"Stop! I didn't expect him to come so soon. Delun, since you said you know him, what other habits and hobbies does he have?" Fang Yun said.

“Murder.”

"What!" Everyone's eyes swept over Kong Delun, then looked around vigilantly, searching for the trace of the Holy Son of the Snake Clan.

Kong Delun said with a dark face, "Outstanding children of noble families like me have all gone to some places for training. In addition to Liangjie Mountain, there are other places, but I am not in a position to tell you the details. I once went out on patrol with a team and found that all the people in the other team were killed, and the death scene was horrible. Ordinary monsters kill people either to eat them or just to kill them, but this saint of the snake clan likes to torture and kill human beings in various ways, making them suffer, and then eat them."

"The results of it?"

Kong Delun's expression changed slightly, and he said, "The scene was extremely tragic at the time. I don't want to describe it. Anyway, only beasts could do such a thing. Later we found out that it was a snake demon who did it. The main person was the snake clan's saint, She Ku. That's why I know him very well and know that he is a master of poison control."

"What on earth did they do!" Sun Naiyong asked gritting his teeth.

Kong Delun whispered, "Then I will talk about some of the most common ones. For example, they put many snake eggs that are about to hatch into people's bodies, and then let the little snakes break out of their stomachs. And..."

"It's enough to know that he deserves to die." Fang Yun said.

"But he is very cunning! Not only is he cruel and ruthless, he is also very good at hiding his tracks. In order to avenge his brutal killings, we have tried to capture and kill him many times. Not to mention the Jinshi, even the Hanlin came out several times but failed. If I am not mistaken, he will use various methods to weaken us and harm us along the way. When our strength is weakened to the limit, he will officially come out and take action."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss... You guessed right! This sixth corridor is my feast and also your funeral! Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The sound of the demon snake spitting out its core came from all directions. (To be continued...)
