9043 Chapter 9042-
The next morning, the sky was starting to turn white, and Lin Yi and Qin wunian got up to pack up and continue their journey.
Lin Yi was considering if he should ditch Qin wunian and speed up on his own. She was clearly up to something, but he didn’t know what she was up to.
Lin Yi’s interest was piqued when he recalled Qin wunian’s mumbling last night about premonition and whatnot. Was that premonition directed at him? And what was Qin wunian looking for?
Interesting!
Why didn’t Qin wunian leave with Lin Yi’s storage bag after he failed to achieve his goal? why did he still follow them? Was he suspicious of the previous search and wanted to continue probing?
Lin Yi had a lot of questions, and after comparing the two, he decided to wait and see what Qin wunian was up to.
at noon, the two of them passed by a dense forest. qin wunian reminded them,””young master sima, you know this place, right? this place is also known as the three step soul breaking forest, and there are all kinds of poisonous creatures growing inside. if you’re not careful, you’ll definitely die within three steps!”
“but the three step soul breaking forest is the only path we have to take. if we take a detour, it will take at least one or two days. do you think we should continue on this path or spend more time taking a detour?”
lin yi looked at the dense forest not far away. there was indeed black mist, and he could smell the sweet, fishy smell without getting close. it was obvious how poisonous it was.
“i’ve heard of the three step soul breaking forest, but i’ve never been there before. i heard that the poisonous gas in the forest will be thinner at noon, and the poisonous creatures will stay dormant. it’s the most dangerous time at night, right?”
Qin wunian nodded with a smile.”Young master Sima is indeed knowledgeable. There’s indeed such a saying. Under normal circumstances, if we’re not in a hurry, most people would choose to take a detour. However, our time is rather tight. If we want to get a share of the loot, we can’t waste too much time.”
“It just so happens that it’s the time of the day when the poisonous gas is the weakest and the poisonous gas is the least. Young master Sima, do you mean that we should take the risk and cross through the three step soul-breaking forest?”
She was very confident in herself. As a martial artist at the mountain opening stage, she had a strong resistance to ordinary poisonous gases and poisons. She also had a deep understanding of medicine and medicinal properties. She felt that there would not be any problems walking through the three step soul-breaking forest.
As for whether Lin Yi was in danger, Qin wunian didn’t care. In fact, he wanted to use the danger of the three step soul-breaking forest to test if Lin Yi was hiding anything.
He had directly pointed out the dangers of the three step soul-breaking forest, but it was more to goad him.
“Lady Qin is right. We are in a hurry and don’t have time to waste a day or two on a detour. We can only take the risk and pass through the three step soul breaking forest. Fortunately, it’s noon now, so the danger has been reduced by a lot. Let’s not delay any further and leave quickly!”
Lin Yi said as he took out two antidotes from his storage bag. They were ordinary, about the same level as the recover pill he gave Qin wunian.
It wasn’t a problem for Lin Yi to deal with normal poisonous creatures, but it was useless against stronger ones. Lin Yi was actually immune to all kinds of poison, so he wasn’t afraid of the three step soul-breaking forest at all.
She had only wanted to put on an act with Qin wunian. Furthermore, she had checked the storage pouch last night and knew that there were antidotes inside, so she had simply taken them out and used them.
“Come, take this detox pill. Your defense against poison will be stronger! The chances of passing through the three step soul-breaking forest safely would be higher. After we leave this three step soul-breaking forest, we should be able to reach the fallen star Town in a short while, right?”
Lin Yi had a geographical map in his mind, and he knew what was around him. Meteorite was a small town, and its population wasn’t as large as the other big cities, but it had everything a big city had.
“That’s right. After we reach meteorite town, we can rent a Mount, and we will be able to travel much faster! I’ll definitely be able to make it in time for the feast!”
The feast that Qin wunian was referring to was naturally the opportunity that had appeared in the star Ink River.
But she didn’t think that Lin Yi would have the chance to reach fallen star Town. With this low-level antidote, he wouldn’t even be able to get out of the three step soul-breaking forest!
Qin wunian didn’t point this out. Instead, he took an antidote pill that she thought was useless and swallowed it before walking into the three step soul-breaking forest.
Lin Yi followed closely behind, and the two entered the forest. The light was a lot dimmer, and the black mist was a lot thicker. The sweet smell lingered, making people feel drowsy.
“Young master Sima, pay attention to hold your breath. The poisonous fog in the three step soul-breaking forest has the effect of numbing, causing hallucinations, and fainting. If you accidentally inhale too much, I’m afraid you’ll fall into a deep sleep in this dense forest!”
Qin wunian reminded Lin Yi out of kindness, but in reality, he was thinking of ways to test Lin Yi without giving himself away.
Qin wunian didn’t get anything from knocking Lin Yi out last night, but he still didn’t want to give up. He wanted to test Lin Yi again with the special environment of the forest.
“Thank you for your reminder, miss Qin. You have to be careful yourself!”
Lin Yi nodded, but before he could finish his sentence, a branch fell from a tree and twisted in the air-it wasn’t a branch, but a small snake.
As it neared the top of Lin Yi’s head, the little snake’s tongue flickered and it opened its mouth, revealing two small but sharp fangs.
Lin Yi took out a short knife from his storage bag and swung it up before the snake could land on him. The blade hit the snake’s body, but it didn’t cut it.
Although Lin Yi had hidden his strength, he was still at the mountain opening stage. The snake’s skin wasn’t even cut open, which showed how strong the snake’s defense was.
However, the force contained in the short knife was still there. The little snake’s defense was amazing. After all, it was falling from the air. It was pulled by the short knife and deviated from its original path. It flew directly to the side and hit a tree trunk.
“It’s the iron thread venomous spirit snake! Be careful not to get bitten! This is a deadly poison!”
Qin wunian cried out from the side. Although he was reminding Lin Yi, his eyes were filled with anticipation, perhaps even gloating over his misfortune.
The iron thread venomous spirit snake’s poison was extremely shocking. Even if a ground opening stage cultivator was bitten by it, they would die in an extremely short time.
An ordinary detoxification pill couldn’t detoxify the poison of the iron thread venomous spirit snake. This kind of venomous snake wasn’t a darkness magical beast. It should be considered a top race among the darkness spirit beasts.
In addition to its poison, the iron thread venomous spirit snake’s defensive ability was also extremely amazing. It was very difficult for ordinary swords to damage its skin, so its skin was a very precious material for leather armor.
In addition to its toxicity and its difficulty in capturing, the price of the skin of the iron thread venomous spirit snake had always been high. Experts disdained to take the risk of hunting the iron thread venomous spirit snake, and those with average strength could not deal with it, so it was quite embarrassing!
