Chapter 160 - The fifth soul ring of the wishing tree

"You mean... the place where the First generation Shrek Seven Devils entered back then is within this Sunset Forest!"

Xian Liner stated her guess.

"Pat~"

Bai Zhou lightly patted Xian Liner's butt and chuckled, "Teacher, you're so smart!"

"Stop it, what if someone sees?"

Xian Liner lightly swat Bai Zhou's hoof and glared slightly.

It wasn't that she minded Bai Zhou patting her...

She was just afraid Bai Zhou would get used to it and do it in public, which would truly be disastrous.

"Alright, alright~ It won't happen again~ Did I hurt you? Let me rub it~" Bai Zhou chuckled awkwardly and quickly reached out to rub.

"Don't change the subject!"

Xian Liner rolled her eyes at Bai Zhou, not bothering with his little actions, and pressed on, "Then how do you know that the place you found is the same place the First generation Shrek found?"

She wasn't trying to pry into Bai Zhou's secrets, but was purely curious.

After all, a place that hadn't been discovered for ten thousand years was found by Bai Zhou, which was quite miraculous!

"I'm not entirely sure myself, we'll know when we get there~" Bai Zhou deliberately kept her in suspense, not explaining too much.

Of course, it was also inexplicable.

"Hmph..."

Xian Liner pouted slightly, feeling Bai Zhou was deliberately teasing her, and lightly waved her hand, swatting away Bai Zhou's pig hoof again.

"Haha~"

Bai Zhou laughed it off, not minding, and led the way forward on her own.

...

The two sped forward, and after about half an hour.

Xian Liner suddenly grabbed Bai Zhou, her face solemn, and said, "Be careful, the air here isn't right!"

"Mm, the air is poisonous, but it's very weak."

Bai Zhou also nodded.

His mental force was strong, and he could clearly sense the tiny poisonous powder floating in the air, forming a poisonous miasma that covered an area of dozens of miles or even wider.

Their current location should be on the outermost edge of this poisonous miasma.

Within the range of the poisonous miasma, only plants could survive; very few other Spirit Beasts could survive here, so the vegetation was unusually lush.

However, this toxin was very weak, and most people wouldn't notice it, but by the time they did, it would be too late to leave the range of the poisonous miasma, and they would surely die.

However, Bai Zhou's Physique was strong, and her toxin resistance was also extraordinary; even if she breathed freely, she felt nothing.

Xian Liner's Physique was actually slightly weaker than Bai Zhou's, but a Titled Douluo had spirit power to protect her, which was more than enough to filter the poisonous miasma.

"Teacher, the deeper we go, the stronger the poisonous miasma gets. I have detoxification pills here; taking them should make it easier."

Bai Zhou thought for a moment and still took out a detoxification pill and handed it to Xian Liner.

After all, if she remembered correctly, this toxin came from the "Bi Lin Seven Absolute Flower", which was a very powerful plant-type Spirit Beast.

Moreover, there were a great number of them; even if Xian Liner wasn't afraid, it would still consume a lot of spirit power, which might affect subsequent battles.

This was also the main reason Bai Zhou had prepared detoxification pills beforehand.

Of course, the active ingredient of the poisonous miasma was actually "spores", which could also be called viruses, and they feared ice and fire.

Therefore, in the original work, Huo Yuhao could use Extreme Ice to counteract the poisonous miasma.

Bai Zhou didn't have Extreme Ice, so she could only use her cheat.

The detoxification pill produced by the System was immune to all toxins and negative statuses, lasting for 24 hours, which was enough to handle the current situation.

"I... alright..."

Xian Liner originally wanted to refuse, after all, she was a dignified Titled Douluo; it would be too embarrassing to be affected by a mere toxin.

However, when she thought that Bai Zhou had prepared this out of concern for her, her heart suddenly felt sweet, so she simply didn't refuse.

Xian Liner took Bai Zhou's pill and swallowed it directly, not paying much attention.

After all, as a Titled Douluo, her toxin resistance was strong, and her drug tolerance was also very strong.

There were already very few pills that could have an effect on her.

However, after Xian Liner swallowed the detoxification pill, she instantly froze...

Because the effect of this detoxification pill was surprisingly good; it wasn't quickly digested by her body but transformed into a peculiar energy that dispersed throughout her body, rapidly wearing away the external toxins.

She couldn't even understand the principle of its detoxification.

"Where did you get this pill?"

Xian Liner suddenly turned to look at Bai Zhou, her eyes filled with deep shock.

This pill actually had such a powerful effect on a Titled Douluo, its value was no less than five hundred thousand gold coins! And it was even priceless!

It was a bit outrageous that Bai Zhou could get such a pill, and two of them at once!

"Cough cough, I refined it myself."

Bai Zhou puffed out her chest slightly, a proud look on her face.

"Hmph, if you can refine this kind of pill, why don't you say you can conjure it out of thin air?" Xian Liner pouted, clearly believing Bai Zhou was talking nonsense.

"Uh, Teacher, how did you know..." Bai Zhou was instantly stunned.

Because, to be precise, this pill was indeed conjured out of thin air.

"Let's go, let's go, let's enter the depths of the toxic region as soon as possible. Maybe there really is the Immortal Herb you mentioned there."

Xian Liner completely ignored Bai Zhou's nonsense and lightly waved her hand, walking towards the depths of the poisonous miasma, with some anticipation.

After all, great crises are often accompanied by treasures.

Such a large poisonous miasma area might really be guarding something.

Even if there was no Immortal Herb, there must be an extraordinary treasure!

No one dislikes treasure hunting and picking up leaks, and she, even as a Titled Douluo, was no exception.

"Hehe~"

Seeing this, Bai Zhou also chuckled and quickly followed.

...

The two quickly went deeper.

Because of the detoxification pill, the two could almost be said to be rushing forward, breathing the toxic gas at will.

Along the way, they encountered countless corpses and remains of Spirit Beasts, all killed by this poisonous miasma.

After all, this poisonous miasma didn't take effect instantly but slowly accumulated and corroded the body.

Spirit Beasts were not very intelligent to begin with, and even if they noticed something was wrong, it was difficult for them to think it was due to the mist. Most Spirit Beasts even fled deeper in panic, and then died faster...

Among them were not a few ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.

Bai Zhou even saw several thousand-year Spirit Bones.

Unfortunately, these Spirit Bones had been exposed to the poisonous miasma for too long and had long been corroded with holes, losing their luster, and even carrying toxins.

If they were forcibly absorbed, let alone becoming stronger, it would be quite good if they weren't poisoned to death.

And as the two gradually went deeper.

The thin poisonous miasma in the air also took on color, sometimes red, sometimes green... and finally turned into a colorful hue.

It looked extremely dazzling.

"It's just ahead, I can feel a lot of powerful auras there!" Suddenly, Xian Liner stopped Bai Zhou again, staring intently at the colorful poisonous miasma ahead, and said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, I feel it too, but they're just a group of immobile plant-type Spirit Beasts, nothing to be afraid of. My Wishing Tree Spirit hasn't obtained its fifth spirit ring yet, these high-year Spirit Beasts are very suitable for me."

Bai Zhou licked her lips.

It seemed as if she had discovered a very good prey.
