Chapter 56: Death Fog (Seeking Collection and Recommendations)

  With her back against the hard, cold stone wall, Mo Yu brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear and opened her mouth to ask, "Do you still remember before entering this canyon, when it was shrouded in thick fog above?"

  Although he didn't know what the woman in green meant, Qin Xuan nodded anyway. In fact, he had been curious before entering the valley, but he hadn't had a chance to ask because the fog on the valley was too thick, blocking out the sun and preventing sunlight from shining through, which also resulted in there being no living organisms within the valley.

  "This canyon is called the Death Valley, and the fog above it is called the Death Fog." Mò Yù's face was somewhat solemn. "I don't know if you've noticed, but among those magical beasts that were chasing us, not a single flying magical beast appeared. It's not that Zǐ Tóng Mó Niú doesn't have any of this type of magical beast under his command, it's because of this Death Fog."

  "As long as you are at a certain height, the Death Fog will envelop you, causing you to become lost in it. Moreover, the Death Fog also possesses strong toxicity, and even a slight inhalation is enough to kill a powerful cultivator of the Condensing God Mirror."

  Hiss.

  Qin Xuan couldn't help but take a cold breath, he felt strange, why hadn't they seen any flying magical beasts along the way, after all, if they had been tracked by flying magical beasts, they would have been caught up long ago, unexpectedly it was because of this reason.

  "There is." Looking at the young man's surprised expression, although somewhat helpless, Mo Yu continued to say, "In the Death Fog, a powerful fifth-tier demon beast is hidden. Although it is a fifth-tier demon beast, because it is in the Death Fog, even if I were in my prime, I wouldn't dare provoke it."

  Five-tiered Magic Beast?

  With a wry smile, Qin Xuan helplessly gazed at the solemn-looking Mo Yu in front of him. Didn't this woman know that the more she spoke, the greater the pressure on herself would be?

  "You're not going to say that the fifth-order demon beast is what you call a method, are you?" Qin Xuan smiled and said, but his smile was filled with bitterness.

  "No."

  Shaking her head, Mo Yu stared at the young man for a while before sighing softly. "But it's almost enough. In the mist, there is a spiritual grass. With the spiritual grass, I can instantly recover my strength and then leave this place."

  "But if we're going to pick the spiritual grass, we'll definitely run into that fifth-stage magical beast."

  Ling grass?

  Qin Xuan's heart moved, according to Mo Yu's words, the Death Fog had a powerful toxicity, even the strongest Condensing Spirit Mirror holders could be poisoned to death, let alone those flowers and grasses. Yet, inside it grew a single sprout of spiritual grass, which was enough to make one both astonished and envious at the same time.

  After all, being able to grow in such a dense poisonous fog, its value is absolutely not as simple as that of ordinary spiritual grass!

  "That fifth-order Guardian Beast is a bit of a problem." Qin Xuan furrowed his brow in thought. The fact that the mist was highly toxic didn't worry him, as after reaching the Mortal Mirror, not only did his physical strength increase, but he also gained the trait of being immune to all poisons, so as long as the mist's toxicity was included within this "all poisons", he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.

  The only thing that makes him feel troublesome is that fifth-order demon beast. With Qin Xuan's current strength, he has no ability to resist at all.

  Seeing the young man's silent expression, Mo Yu also didn't speak, not forcing him. She knew that as long as someone was normal, hearing this news would probably make them unwilling to back down. Just then, she heard the young man ask, "Do you know what kind of demon beast a fifth-stage demon beast is?"

  "Huh?" Mo Yu was taken aback, looking at the youth with a heavy expression on his face in surprise, then shook his head helplessly. "I don't know, because the fog is too thick, no one has seen its true form."

  "Has anyone seen it?"

  He responded faintly, and Qin Xuan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter. Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy, one can win a hundred battles without danger. If one could understand the opponent's characteristics beforehand, it would undoubtedly make things much simpler, and also be greatly beneficial to oneself. The problem was, however, that no one had ever seen the true form of that fifth-tier demon beast!

  This made the five-stage demon beast even more mysterious, and it was also at a loss for what to do in resistance.

  What should I do? Should I go up or not?

  Having gone up, picked the spiritual grass to help Mo Yu recover his strength. With that, the crisis in front of him would be completely resolved and he could continue on his journey to the Magic Cloud Sect. However, this posed a considerable danger to himself, even threatening his life.

  If they didn't go up, and couldn't hold on for three days until Mo Yu recovered his strength, countless demonic beasts would overwhelm them.

  A deadlock with no way out on both sides, the only difference is that the former has a glimmer of hope, while the latter has none at all.

  Hiss.

  Just as Mo Yu thought the young man was about to give up, Qin Xuan suddenly stood up, his eyes firm, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and smiled, "Since this is the only chance, I must go all out!"

  "You, you're crazy!" Mo Yu's small mouth opened slightly as she hastily said, "With your strength, not to mention those five-stage magical beasts, just getting close to the Death Fog would likely get you instantly annihilated!"

  No!

  Qin Xuan shook his head, his expression stern and unyielding, filled with a resolute determination. A powerful aura emanated from him, leaving people stunned. "Indeed, what you said is true, but even if I'm trapped in a desperate situation, as long as there's still a glimmer of hope, no matter how slim it may be, I will not give up. This is my survival principle!"

  Feeling the extraordinary aura emanating from the youth, Mo Yu's slender body trembled slightly as she raised her head to gaze at the youth's lean figure. For some reason, he seemed even taller now, and her heart was racing like a startled deer, pounding erratically.

  "This kid is obviously weak to the point of death, but he has such an astonishing aura, saying something like that, it's really not something to be underestimated!"

  In his heart, he secretly shook his head and sighed, and Mo Yu also stopped blocking him. His lips pursed, his right hand flipped over, and a suit of crystal armor floated in the air above his palm, with a faint blue glow flowing on its surface like running water, which was very moving and had a strong aura spreading out in all directions.

  "This is a protective spirit treasure, it can help you resist the invasion of the poisonous gas of the Death Fog." Without any hesitation, Mo Yu brought this lock armor in front of the young man, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

  He nodded and took it over, but in fact he didn't need this protective spirit treasure. Not to mention whether the poisonous gas could hurt him or not, besides, let's not forget that he still had a more powerful "War Sky Armor" on his body, which was a nether treasure obtained from Lao Zu!

  Also for this reason, he still can't bear to let "Heroic Spirit Dictionary" refine and absorb it.

  However, when he saw the worry in the woman's eyes, Qin Xuan couldn't refuse either, and stretched out his hands to take it over.

  "Thank you!"

  This sentence is from the heart, Lingbao may not be as good as Mingbao, but it is still a very rare existence, not those street vendors, the other party is moved by Qin Xuan's sincerity because he took out a piece of Lingbao.

  As for the Nether Treasure, he didn't dare to think about it. It's an existence that not even a single sect is certain to have. In the past, the old ancestor of the Qin family also risked his life nine times and finally obtained the "War Heaven Armor" by chance.

  No more words, Qin Xuan quickly walked out of the cave, time was now more precious to him than anything else, he had to seize every moment that could be utilized, in order to better survive for the next second!

  "You must come back alive!"

  As she watched the young man's back disappear, Mo Yu said softly, her face full of worry. Although they had not known each other for long, she was genuinely concerned about the young man's safety, otherwise she would not have taken out that protective spirit treasure.

  But she could only help so much, and as for those five-stage magic beasts, they could only rely on the young man's own abilities.

  She let out a soft sigh, and her thoughts gradually calmed down. Her eyes slightly closed as she focused on recovering her strength, for herself and for the young man who was fighting with his last ounce of energy!

  Out of the cave, Qin Xuan's lips moved, and he summoned Galen out, ordering him to guard the entrance of the cave and prevent any accidents. Then, he took out the flying puppet "Pursuit of Wind", poured in the mysterious energy, until it expanded to a sufficient size, and with a tap of his toe, he jumped up.

  "Go!"

  Looking up at the thick, turbulent fog above his head, Qin Xuan let out a heavy sigh and his face set in determination as the "Pursuing Wind" under him suddenly shot upwards.
