Nie Xiaoyu had already closed her eyes tightly before the strong light was emitted, so she only felt her body tremble slightly, and then everything returned to normal.
After waiting patiently for a while, Nie Xiaoyu did not hear anyone beside her, so she tentatively opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
She was in a deep valley, surrounded by lush foliage and lush vegetation, but all the plants looked strange, not quite the same as the ones outside.
Upon closer inspection, one would also notice that the air here was not as clear and pure as it was outside. Instead, there was a faint green mist lingering in the air. The deeper one ventured into the pocket dimension, the darker the color of the mist became.
Although Nie Xiaoyu did not need to breathe like a normal human, she could tell that the green mist should be highly toxic just by looking at it. If an ordinary person breathed in a little, they would probably die on the spot.
Nie Xiaoyu walked into the depths of the secret realm with small steps. After walking for a while, she found that the green poisonous gas would also adhere to human skin, seep into the body through the pores, and poison people. She had only walked a few hundred steps, but her skin had already become a little green.
At this time, Nie Xiaoyu could only be glad that she was now a living dead person, and the poisonous gas could not have any effect on her at all. She suddenly understood why the second leader and the others sent her into this secret realm. It must be because of this poisonous gas!
Although Nie Xiaoyu had an umbrella with her, this deep valley seemed to have no sunlight, so it did not make much difference whether she held an umbrella or not. For convenience's sake, she simply carried the umbrella on her back, freeing her hands to search for Heaven and Earth Treasures more efficiently.
However, things did not go according to her wishes. After carefully searching in the secret realm for a long time, Nie Xiaoyu still did not find anything. Instead, she encountered some spirit beasts that had mutated because they had been absorbing poisonous gas for years.
Those mutated spirit beasts were very aggressive, and they would directly pounce on Nie Xiaoyu as soon as they saw her. Fortunately, their levels were not too high, so she could easily deal with them, but it also wasted a lot of time.
"Strange, didn't the second leader say that the thing is very easy to find?" Nie Xiaoyu searched for a while and stopped in front of a forest. She muttered to herself with a surprised expression, "I haven't seen a single treasure after such a long time. Could it be that the treasure has all withered or has been taken by someone else?"
Nie Xiaoyu frowned and tried to recall. She remembered that when the Second Head Enforcer described the Heavenly Treasure, he said that it was a kind of dark purple flower with some tiny barbs on its rhizome and three round green leaves. It should be a gregarious flower that grew in one place.
Although Nie Xiaoyu had seen a lot of exotic flowers and plants along the way, she didn't find any that matched the description of the second head keeper, which made her even more puzzled.
Nie Xiaoyu didn't expect to complete the task in a short time, but in theory, she should at least collect one or two! Otherwise, this situation would be too unimaginable!
"Whoosh —"
Just as Nie Xiaoyu was pondering over it, a white thing suddenly flashed past in the forest in front of her. The white shadow seemed to be quite huge, and it was very fast. It was basically impossible to tell what it was with the naked eye.
"Who? Who's there? " Nie Xiaoyu woke up from her thoughts and was startled. She hurriedly used her mental cultivation method and got into a stance. Her eyes swept across the forest vigilantly, ready to deal with any sudden situation.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the forest. Nie Xiaoyu pursed her lips in confusion. She felt that she might have worried too much. How could there be a living person in such a place full of poisonous gas?
It was probably some mutated beasts that wanted to sneak attack her, but after seeing her strength, they retreated!
Thinking of this, Nie Xiaoyu didn't pay too much attention to it. She once again embarked on the journey of looking for the Heavenly Treasure. However, she didn't let down her guard. She released her divine sense within a certain range and carefully explored the surroundings, in case she was caught off guard and attacked by mutated beasts.
As she searched, the sky gradually darkened, and the green mist in the mystic realm became thicker. With the dim light and the green mist blocking her vision, Nie Xiaoyu could no longer see her surroundings clearly with her naked eyes. She could only rely on her divine sense to feel her way forward bit by bit.
"Roar —" Just as Nie Xiaoyu was concentrating on her search, a wild beast's roar suddenly came from behind!
Along with the loud roar, there was a series of rapid and heavy footsteps. It seemed that something was approaching Nie Xiaoyu at an extremely fast speed.
Nie Xiaoyu's face tensed up. She immediately used her divine sense to explore, but she didn't find anything. However, the powerful aura behind her that was getting closer and closer was enough to prove that it was an unknown species with a much higher cultivation than her!
Nie Xiaoyu suddenly turned her head and looked, but she could only see a blurry white figure shuttling back and forth in the forest not far away from her. She couldn't detect it with her divine sense at all.
An ominous premonition made Nie Xiaoyu panic. Driven by a strong desire to survive, the Primordial Qi in her body surged rapidly, and her arms were instantly completely covered by black gas!
After gathering her Primordial Qi, Nie Xiaoyu immediately pushed a few palms in the direction of the white figure, trying to drive away the thing hiding in the forest.
"Boom, boom, boom!" With the explosion of Primordial Qi, continuous explosions sounded in the forest, followed by the sound of trees falling to the ground. After a series of chaotic sounds, the surroundings returned to silence after a while.
"Roar —" Just when Nie Xiaoyu thought that she had successfully driven that thing away, a chilling roar came again!
Moreover, the roar this time was obviously not the same as before. It was louder and more tyrannical. It sounded like the beast was enraged, and its footsteps on the ground seemed to be even more hurried.
At this moment, due to being in a state of high tension for a long time, Nie Xiaoyu's mood had become more and more irritable. She could also clearly feel the Primordial Qi in her body beginning to riot, constantly rushing at her meridians. It seemed to be a sign of Qi deviation!
Nie Xiaoyu knew that something was wrong. She immediately took out an injection from her backpack, aimed it at the artery on her arm, and was about to stab it in.
However, before Nie Xiaoyu could complete the injection, heavy footsteps approached from afar. Before Nie Xiaoyu could look up, she felt that she was hit by something hard. She was involuntarily flung several meters away and smashed into a big tree with a loud "bang".
