The Ten Thousand Mountains in Lingnan are like a giant beast lurking between heaven and earth, so huge that it inspires awe.

Although it was not night at this moment, the branches and leaves of the towering trees in the forest blocked most of the sunlight, making the surrounding environment seem a little dim.

The mountains seem to be a mysterious creature that can breathe, constantly inhaling and exhaling moist mist.

The fog was like a ghost, floating among the mountains.

It adds a bit of eerie and strange atmosphere to the originally quiet forest, making people feel creepy.

In this dense fog, three figures carefully penetrated the mist and slowly moved forward step by step.

"Click——"

Suddenly, a crisp breaking sound broke the silence.

It turned out that A-Cha accidentally stepped on a dead branch and broke it.

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the dead silence of the forest.

Yiman was shocked.

A Cha hurriedly apologized.

Yiman looked around anxiously and said, "Brother Lin, this place is so gloomy!"

Lin Mo, who was walking in front, stopped.

"do not be afraid."

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring intently at his surroundings.

At the same time, his nostrils flared slightly, carefully sniffing the scent in the air.

The air was filled with the musty smell of rotting leaves.

It was a damp, rotten smell that made people feel nauseous.

However, amidst the musty smell of rotten leaves, Lin Mo, with his keen sense of smell, also caught a faint smell of blood.

"It seems not far away."

According to the information provided by Natsume Laoji, Huang Quanyin's base camp is hidden in the deep mountains where poisonous insects are rampant and miasma is everywhere.

Suddenly, a pitch-black scorpion emerged from under the dead leaves.

Its tail needle, raised high, flashes a chilling cold light.

It was like a sharp dagger, stabbing suddenly at the uninvited guests.

Ah Cha was so frightened that his face turned pale and he quickly stepped away.

But the scorpion seemed to have set its sights on her and continued to crawl towards her relentlessly, at a fairly fast pace.

"ah!"

Ah Cha screamed in fright.

Just as the scorpion was about to crawl to her feet.

Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, a branch shot out like lightning.

In an instant, the branch nailed the scorpion firmly to the ground. The scorpion struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.

Green fluid spurted out of the scorpion's body like a fountain.

It falls on the dead leaves, making a "hissing" corrosive sound.

Small holes were instantly corroded in the dead leaves, and a pungent green smoke emerged.

Yiman frowned quickly.

Ah Cha's face was full of fear.

Only then did the two realize the danger of this forest.

Yiman took out a dark red pill from her arms and put it under her tongue without hesitation.

The bitter taste instantly filled her mouth, making her frown.

However, she soon felt that the light green miasma floating around was no longer so pungent, and her breathing became much smoother.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then poured out two more pills from the medicine bottle and handed them to Lin Mo and A-Cha respectively, saying, "This is a miasma-avoiding pill. Brother Lin, put one under your tongue. It can ward off the miasma."

A Cha took it.

But Lin Mo just shook his head slightly and did not reach out to take it.

"Need not."

He carries the dragon's energy.

Ordinary poisonous insects, once they feel the pressure of this dragon energy, would not dare to get close to him.

Just like a mouse seeing a cat, it hides away from it and dares not touch it.

And the poisonous miasma that filled the air was nothing to him and not worth mentioning.

Every time he breathes, he naturally attracts the Qi field around him.

The Qi field will form a natural protective shield half a foot in front of him.

The poisonous miasma was tightly blocked outside his body, so it couldn't affect him at all.

Seeing that Lin Mo did not have the miasma-avoiding pill, he was still able to move freely in this poisonous miasma-filled environment and was not affected at all.

Yiman and A-Cha both widened their eyes, their faces filled with surprise and admiration.

The three of them continued their trek, and the deeper they went into the mountains, the more dangerous the environment became.

Poisonous insects are like killers hiding in the dark, suddenly jumping out of the grass from time to time, making a sharp "sizzling" sound.

Some poisonous insects have colorful bodies and look beautiful, but they hide deadly poison.

If you get bitten by it, you will probably die.

Some poisonous insects have strange shapes and twisted and deformed bodies, which makes people feel creepy.

Although Yiman and A'cha are witches, they also deal with various poisonous insects on a daily basis.

But he seemed to be quite afraid of the poisonous insects here.

They followed Lin Mo closely, their eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.

"Aren't you Gu women? Why are you still afraid of these bugs?"

Lin Mo looked at them, feeling a little curious, and couldn't help asking.

Ah Cha replied, "Our cultivation is too shallow, the poisonous insects on our bodies can't provide any protection at all.

Furthermore, the poisonous insects here are extremely toxic. If we get bitten, even if we have poisonous insects to protect us, we won’t be able to detoxify and will just have to wait for death.”

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

If this continues, bringing two people with him will definitely slow him down significantly.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You two stay here. The situation ahead is unclear right now. I'll go over there alone to take a look. This way we can move faster."

Yiman and A-Cha looked at each other. Although they were a little scared, they nodded.

They knew in their hearts that if they followed Lin Mo, not only would they be of no help, but they might even become a burden to him.

The two girls stood there obediently, their eyes fixed on Lin Mo.

As I watched his figure gradually disappear in the fog ahead, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Then they looked around, chose a tall tree, and climbed up using their hands and feet.

The tree was thick and tall, with lush branches and leaves, providing them with a relatively safe hiding place.

They also sprinkled some special powder around it.

The powder emits a pungent smell, but it can effectively prevent harassment from poisonous insects.

The two of them finally felt relieved and found a comfortable spot on the tree to sit down and rest against the trunk.

There was a hint of fatigue and worry in his eyes.

His eyes turned to the figure walking away in the mist.

I hope Lin Mo can return safely.
