Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 75: Corpse Poisonous Spots

  Ye Xue held the Ghost Head Knife and swiftly chased after Zong Kaiyang, urgently saying: "Quickly stop him, if he catches up to the Zong family's troops, we'll only have a dead end!"

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen's hearts skipped a beat, knowing that Ye Xu's words were not wrong. With just one Zong Kaiyang, they had already gone all out, yet still couldn't keep him from leaving. Among the people sent by the Zong family to open up new lands, there must be even more formidable figures than Zong Kaiyang.

  If it's the main force of the clan that arrives, they might not even have a chance to escape!

  Fang Chen smiled and said: "Brother Zhou, you're the fastest, go catch up and tie him down."

  "Little white face, do you want me to die? If I go after him alone, won't I be offering my head for him to chop off? Your movements are as swift as a ghost, not much slower than mine. Why don't you go and entangle him instead?"

  Fang Chen was silent, his movements indeed like a ghostly apparition. However, his Blood Demon Yuan Soul Great Technique cultivation was still shallow and couldn't break through Zong Kaiyang's yuan energy. While he could instantly kill a cultivator of the same level, when facing an expert who had cultivated their yuan energy to the Solidification Stage, his weakness would immediately be revealed.

  Even if he catches up with Zong Kaiyang, he can only be helpless.

  The two of them looked at Ye Xu simultaneously, and saw that the blue-shirted youth was still fierce and powerful, taking big strides forward, with a strong killing intent.

  The two of them couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "This guy is really something, I don't know how he cultivated, even a Yuanyuan period wizard can be injured by him! This guy is simply a top-notch demon beast! Unfortunately, it's just too slow..."

  Actually, Ye Xu's speed was not slow. Compared to other witches, his stride was extremely large, and with one step, he could cover a distance of seven or eight meters. Sprinting for several miles would only take him a few breaths.

  However, compared with Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen, his speed is much slower.

  But Ye Xu's strengths are also extremely obvious, his moves are ruthless and powerful, even able to go head-to-head with Wu Shi in the Solid Yuan stage, he is simply an indestructible iron man!

  His attack power is also not something that Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen can match, sharp and unmatched, with a hundred moves, a clear and decisive killing move!

  If they were facing him head-on, Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen dared to confirm that this guy would definitely be able to knock himself out with one move!

  Although they were extremely unwilling in their hearts, they had no choice but to admit that Ye Xu's strength was indeed far beyond theirs!

  Zong Kaiyang's heart was racing like a fire, and he chased after the Zong family's team with all his might. His ears were buzzing, and the toxin had already invaded his bloodstream, greatly weakening his senses.

  Although he was doing his best, his speed had slowed down unconsciously and he was soon caught up by the three of them.

  "Slow down, big brother of the clan!"

  "Let me see you off!" Ye Xulang said with a loud laugh.

  He had already seen that Zong Kaiyang's condition was somewhat unwell, and the toxin was obviously corroding his body.

  Zong Kaiyang didn't say a word, his back had already started emitting wisps of white smoke, but he was still unaware, and continued to charge forward fiercely.

  Suddenly, he seemed to have no bones at all, his body shrinking smaller and smaller until it turned into a puddle of rotten flesh that fell from the air. The swastika-shaped sorcerer's puppet continued to rush forward uncontrollably, flying out for over a hundred meters before crashing into the cliff with a loud "ding" sound, leaving only its tail exposed!

  Ye Xiang and the other two hastily stopped in their tracks, exchanging a glance, and saw the look of horror in each other's eyes.

  The toxicity of this strange fruit exceeded their imagination, Zhou Shiwen only applied a layer on the dagger and instantly poisoned a high-ranking expert in the solid yuan period!

  Ordinary warriors who cultivate to the pre-heavenly stage of martial arts are already rarely threatened by poison. After cultivating to the wizard stage, they can ignore all kinds of severe poisons in the world. What's more, they can eat poisonous substances like aconitum and gastrodia elata as if they were food, and expel the toxins from their body while chatting!

  What they didn't expect was that this strange fruit could actually poison a high-ranking Yuan Yuan master. Not to mention whether they had any other gains on this trip, these strange fruits alone were invaluable. If used properly, their effect would not be inferior to witch soldiers or witch treasures!

  "Cough, cough, I'm penniless, but we should pick more of these fruits and sell them for some silver to supplement our household expenses." Ye Xu immediately walked towards the mountain cliff, clearing his throat twice, and said with a smile.

  However, in his heart, he couldn't help but have unusual thoughts and secretly calculated that if the three major families went to war, how many fruits would it take to poison all the witches of the Zhou and Fang families.

  Zhou Shiwen's eyes rolled around, and he chuckled as he walked to the edge of the cliff. "Haha, I've always been generous with my money, and my pockets have always been empty. I'll pick some to exchange for a few silver coins. Little White Face is rich enough to rival a country, but it's not needed."

  Fang Chen's eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as he smiled and said, "Although Fang has a modest fortune, who would ever complain about having too much silver?" He also began to pick the purple wisteria fruit.

  The three of them exchanged a glance, revealing a cautious expression, and it was clear that they had thought of this together, planning to use this rare poison to deal with the witches of other families.

  "Even if you're not a good person, I shouldn't be able to do something like poisoning someone in my own home, right?" Fang Chen said with a smile, fanning himself casually, but beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

  "This is natural."

  Ye Xu wiped away the sweat on his forehead and chuckled: "Brother Fang definitely wouldn't do something like that, right?"

  "Haha, such petty actions are naturally beneath Fang's notice."

  Fang Chen put the fruits he had collected into the Jade Building, looked at Zhou Shiwen and sneered: "It's actually Brother Zhou who can't be trusted, you look so despicable and shameless, it's possible for you to do such a despicable thing! Ye brother, why don't we just settle this here and now, let's get rid of Brother Zhou!"

  "Zhou Shiwen angrily said: 'What's shameful about my appearance? I dare to swear to heaven, if I did such a thing, I'd be a dog, a beast!'"

  The muscles around his eyes twitched, and he secretly thought: "After poisoning all of you Fang family members to death, I'll go to your graves and bark a few times like a dog. It doesn't seem like a big deal. But thinking about it, Shaobao and Xiaobai didn't even make a poisonous oath, so I'm still at a loss..."

  "Alright, both of you say one less sentence."

  Ye Xul hurriedly made a gesture of reconciliation, smiling and saying: "Let's hurry up and leave, lest the treasure of Eagle Gorge be snatched away by the Zhong family."

  Fang Chen and Zhou Shiwen hummed in unison, looking at Ye Xu with an unfriendly gaze, thinking: "You picked the most just now, but you're still pretending to be a good person!"

  After Zong Kaiyang's death, there were no other treasures left behind, only a swastika-shaped witch soldier. This kind of witch soldier belongs to the Qimen weapons, and can only be manipulated by cultivating the corresponding witchcraft, which is not very useful for Ye Xu.

  Fang Chen didn't think much of this piece of witchcraft, but its value was absolutely not low, enough to be exchanged for a heart method or witchcraft from the witch library.

  Zhou Shiwen put away the Wu Bing of Zong Kaiyang, and carefully applied a layer of fruit pulp to the blade. He smiled and said: "I don't have any other weapons yet, so this Wu Bing belongs to me. If there are any other gains, I'll choose one less."

  "Brother Zhou, be careful, this cursed sword is extremely difficult to control, don't accidentally cut your own hand!" Fang Chen said with a cold sneer.

  Zhou Shiwen sneered: "Indeed, I must be careful. If I mishandle it, I'm afraid I'll cut off Fang Xue's snow-white little butt."

  The two of them were together, either arguing or fighting, Ye Xu was already used to it, helplessly shook his head and continued walking forward.

  At this moment, the pioneering team of the Zong family has already gone deep into Eagle Gorge for nearly ten miles, and still hasn't encountered any goblins or demons, not even a single demonic beast, leaving them puzzled.

  A Taoist priest smiled and said, "Governor, this Eagle Gorge is not a particularly treacherous place. Apart from those poisonous vines and Peach Blossom Fever, the rest of it looks quite ordinary to me."

  Another person wondered: "Why haven't Kaiyang and Deming returned yet? Are those three kids really that troublesome?"

  Zong Kaiyuan smiled and said, "It's not that thorny. Most likely, Kaixiang plans to use those three kids' hands to temper Daming, so they're being held back. Since Eagle Gorge is called a dangerous place, it must have its dangers, everyone mustn't be careless!"

  As they spoke, the Eagle Gorge narrowed, with a stream running along the bottom and large boulders lining both banks, amidst which grew some unknown shrubs and purple toadstools.

  Those shrubs are short and low, while the mushrooms are surprisingly large, about as tall as a person, like a big purple umbrella, beautiful and extraordinary.

  These purple mushrooms grew in clusters, their caps colorful and covered with small pores that occasionally emitted a puffing sound, releasing fine spores into the air above the stream, forming a purple mist that was distinct from the peach blossom mist.

  "Everyone be careful! These should be poisonous panaeolus, highly toxic, as long as you don't touch the mushrooms with your hands, it will be fine."

  Zong Kaiyuan said in a deep voice, "This corpse poison mushroom often grows on top of corpses. Under each mushroom is buried a body, brewing corpse poison."

  Everyone looked around and saw that the poisonous mushrooms in this area were densely packed, with at least 700 or 800 plants, which was shocking.

  If Zong Kaiyuan didn't lie, there are about 700 or 800 corpses buried here!

  Everyone's hair stood on end. One of the clan's wizards trembled and said, "Chief Steward, who could have killed seven or eight hundred people in this place? It's too terrifying!"
