Mo Wuji frowned a little, “Bu Er, could it be that what caused the Thunder Mist Forest not to be able to go in, that’s not even known?”
Ding Bu Er let out a sigh and said, “I do know something, I heard that in the depths of the Thunder Mist Forest, there are very powerful demonic beasts. You know about demonic beasts, right? That’s an existence that can be compared to an Immortal Master. If the Protector of our Cheng Yu Kingdom enters the depths of the Thunder Mist Forest, it is difficult to say that he can definitely save his life. Earlier, our lady said that the Eleventh Prince Situ Yue just entered the Thunder Mist Forest and didn’t come out.”
Speaking here, Ding Bu Er even lowered his voice, “Prince Yue was originally a genius spirit rooter of our Cheng Yu Kingdom, and after he disappeared in the Thunder Mist Forest, the Kingdom Ruler even asked the Protectorate Dharma King to go in and look for him. Later on, the Protectorate Dharma King escaped the Thunder Mist Forest with a heavy wound, and Prince Yue was not rescued.”
Mo Wuji was silent, even a strong person like the Kingdom Protector Dharma King entering the Thunder Mist Forest was a danger, he couldn’t even beat that Hu Fei, once he entered the Thunder Mist Forest, I’m afraid that not even the bone dregs would be left.
Seeing Mo Wuji fall silent, Ding Bu Er said again, ”Other than those formidable demonic beasts, there are also Thunder Swamps all over the Thunder Mist Forest. There are lightning flashes everywhere in these Thunder Weathers, once you fall into them, you will only be killed by lightning.”
After saying that, Ding Bu Er patted Mo Wuji, “Sleep early, we will be able to reach the outskirts of the Thunder Mist Forest tomorrow afternoon.”
……
I don’t know if it was because they felt that Mo Wuji didn’t have the ability, or they felt that Mo Wuji was the one who was named by the lady. Throughout the night, Mo Wuji did not stall on duty.
Early the next morning, when it was only dawn, Mo Wuji was pulled up by Ding Bu Er, simply washed up and continued his journey again.
Ding Bu Er really wasn’t wrong, after most of the day’s rush, the next afternoon, he arrived at the outskirts of the Thunder Mist Forest.
Upon arriving at this place, even if no one told Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could still guess that this was the Thunder Mist Forest outskirts.
Even though the front looked foggy and misty, Mo Wuji could still vaguely see a few lightning bolts occasionally flashing out of that foggy and misty place. The sound of some unknown beasts roaring gave off a sense of panic.
The place where the crowd was located was full of low bushes, and between these bushes, one could vaguely see some dirt paths that had been stepped out. From time to time, some poisonous snakes and huge rats scurried past the crowd’s eyes, bringing up the sound of clattering grass.
“Peng Shouguo, you find one person to watch the horses here, while clearing out a clearing here to build a temporary resting place. The rest of you and I will go a little deeper together to look for the Double Leaf Flame Grass.” After Han Ning signalled the crowd to dismount, she said to Peng Maohua in a very dry manner.
When Peng Maohua heard what Han Ning said, he was shocked and said, “Miss, that Double Leaf Flame Grass is a spirit grass ah ……”
Han Ning said in a faint voice, “If it wasn’t a spirit grass, would I need to come to the Thunder Mist Forest in person?”
“But, but ……” Peng Maohua was a little hesitant, it was true that there were some spirit grasses on the outside of the Thunder Mist Forest as well, but it had long since been rummaged through by other people who didn’t know how many times they had searched for them. Wanting to find spirit grass outside the Thunder Mist Forest, and also a rare spirit grass like the Double Leaf Flame Grass, I’m afraid it would be harder than heaven.
By saying that, Miss definitely meant that she was going to enter the inside of the Thunder Mist Forest. He did want to follow Miss and go to the Imperial Capital to see the Leaping Immortal Sect Assembly, but if this opportunity could only be won by entering the Thunder Mist Forest, he would rather not.
“What? What do you have in mind?” Han Ning’s tone was a little cold.
Peng Maohua inhaled a breath and said respectfully, “Miss, inside that Thunder Mist Forest even if the Protectorate Dharma King went in, he almost didn’t exit with his whole body, we went in ……”
The worried expression overflowed.
Han Ning smiled faintly, “Chief Protector Peng, you’re overthinking, how could I possibly enter the depths of the Thunder Mist Forest? I will at most go within two feet of the Thunder Mist Forest. If I can’t find it, I won’t go back in to look for it. Your life is precious, my life is not worthless.”
Hearing Han Ning’s words, Peng Maohua was relieved. The young lady was right, it was impossible for her to trap herself in danger. If she only entered within two feet, she would normally be fine.
Thinking of this, Peng Maohua said to a slightly skinny youth, “Chai Jiu, you stay here to watch the horses while cleaning up the surrounding area.”
Seeing that Peng Maohua had no more objections, Han Ning nodded, “The rest of you go in with me.”
Peng Maohua led Mo Wuji and the other eight guards to open the way in front, while Han Ning and her personal maid Shao Lan followed closely behind.
Two hours later, Mo Wuji felt that the trees in front of him were getting taller and taller. The path trodden out by man had long been invisible, but the grass here had also thinned out quite a bit, so there was no need to specially use a sword to cut a path.
“Miss, there are still a dozen or so feet to go before we enter the Thunder Mist Forest.” Peng Maohua’s voice was a little nervous.
Han Ning hmmmed, “It’s almost dark today, so instead of going in, we’ll look along this outer dozens of feet, and everyone will line up in a human wall. Everyone pay attention, although the Double Leaf Flame Grass is a Spirit Grass is also very rare, but not many people demand this kind of thing. For this kind of grass, it’s best to look for it in the evening, because at this time, you can see a faint red aura at the core of the grass.”
“Yes.” Peng Maohua answered, and Mo Wuji could clearly feel that he seemed relieved.
Something like the Double Leaf Flame Grass, Mo Wuji knew about it, he had seen it introduced in a book when he was refining pills in Dan Han. This kind of grass was split into two blades of grass at the root, with a very short core in the middle of the two blades, which was slightly reddish in colour, somewhat resembling the shape of a flame.
“Ah ……” Peng Maohua had just told the crowd to disperse when a scream broke the balance of sound around him.
“Chang Hongcai, what are you doing?” Peng Maohua’s tone was somewhat harsh.
“I was bitten by the Diamond Snake ……” Chang Hongcai’s voice trembled a little, obviously unable to endure the pain.
Han Ning grabbed out a pill and handed it to Chang Hongcai, “Hurry up and swallow it, this kind of snake bite hurts like hell. As long as it is not detoxified, it will soon die of poison.”
“Thank you ……” Chang Hongcai had just said the word thank you, when Mo Wuji heard Ding Bu Er’s scream, “Much, much more …… ”
There were at least hundreds of diamond heart snakes coming quickly from behind Chang Hongcai, and there seemed to be clattering sounds further away, it was clear that there were more diamond heart snakes following behind these hundreds of diamond heart snakes.
“Everyone quickly escape ……,” Cold Ning said pulling the maids around her and quickly retreating.
As everyone fled, Mo Wuji naturally fled without hesitation.
Chang Hongcai, who had not yet had the chance to swallow the antidote pill, let out a few more miserable screams, Mo Wuji subconsciously turned around and realised that Chang Hongcai was wrapped up in dozens of Diamond Snakes, clearly not saved.
Mo Wuji then felt his scalp go numb, and even quickened his speed to escape, while pulling out the foot-long sharp knife that was inserted into his tied leg. This kind of snake was too terrifying, once surrounded, it was estimated that he wouldn’t end up much better than Chang Hongcai.
After running for a dozen metres, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong, if he ran further, then he would be entering the Thunder Mist Forest. He wanted to look at the rest of the people running that way, when he saw a black line flying over. Mo Wuji didn’t even think about it, the sharp knife in his hand directly slashed towards that black line.
A pungent blood stimulated him to almost vomit, Mo Wuji instantly realised what was going on, this Diamond Snake could actually leap up.
There were also clattering sounds coming from both sides, at this point in time, where would he have the time to care if it was the Thunder Mist Forest in front of him? Even if he stayed one step, he would be one step closer to death. Accelerating under his feet, Mo Wuji rushed into the Thunder Mist Forest without hesitation.
