Mo Wuji furrowed his brows, "Bu 'Er, could it be that you don't know the reason why the Thunder Fog Forest cannot be entered?"
Ding Bu'Er sighed and said, "I do know a little. I heard that there are powerful demonic beasts in the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest. Do you know about Demonic Beasts? That was an existence comparable to an Immortal Master. Even our Cheng Yu State's Guardian King might not be able to survive after entering the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest. Previously, our young mistress mentioned that the Eleventh Prince, Situ Yue, entered the Thunder Fog Forest and did not come out. "
At this point, Ding Bu'Er lowered his voice, "Prince Yue was originally a genius in our Cheng Yu State. After he went missing in the Thunder Fog Forest, the King even invited the State Protector to search for him. Afterwards, the Guardian King escaped from the Thunder Fog Forest with heavy injuries, but Prince Yue was not rescued. "
Mo Wuji remained silent. Even an expert like the State Protector would be in danger if he entered the Thunder Fog Forest, and he couldn't even defeat that Hu Fei. Once he entered the Thunder Fog Forest, not even his bones would be left.
Seeing that Mo Wuji was silent, Ding Bu'Er continued, "Other than those strong demonic beasts, there are also lightning lakes in the Thunder Fog Forest. These lightning lakes are filled with flashes of lightning. Once you enter, you will only be struck to death by lightning. "
Finishing his sentence, Ding Bu'Er patted Mo Wuji's shoulder and said, "Sleep early, we will reach the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest by tomorrow afternoon."
…
It was unknown if she felt that Mo Wuji was incompetent, or that Mo Wuji was chosen by the little miss. Throughout the night, Mo Wuji did not have to be on duty.
Early the next morning, Ding Bu'Er pulled Mo Wuji out of bed at the first glimmer of light. After a simple wash, they continued on their journey.
Ding Bu'Er was right. After half a day of travelling, they arrived at the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest.
At this place, even if no one told Mo Wuji, Mo Wuji could guess that this was the periphery of the Thunder Fog Forest.
Even though it looked like a patch of fog in front of him, Mo Wuji could still faintly see the occasional flashes of lightning. The roars of some unknown beasts gave people a sense of panic.
The place they were at was full of low bushes. Between these bushes, they could vaguely see some dirt roads that had been stepped on. From time to time, some venomous snakes and huge rats would scurry past them, making the sound of grass rustling.
"Chief Guard Peng, find someone to look after the horses here. At the same time, clear an empty space here and build a temporary resting place. The rest of you, follow me deeper into the forest to search for Two-leaved Fire Grass. "Han Ning instructed Peng Maohua.
When Peng Maohua heard Han Ning's words, he said in shock, "Little miss, that Two-leaved Fire Grass is a spiritual herb …"
Han Ning said indifferently, "If it wasn't for spiritual herbs, do I need to personally come to the Thunder Fog Forest?"
"But, but..." Peng Maohua hesitated. There were indeed some spiritual herbs in the outskirts of the Thunder Fog Forest, but they had already been searched for countless times. To find spiritual herbs outside the Thunder Fog Forest, especially rare ones like the Two-leaved Fire Grass, was almost impossible.
From what the young mistress said, it meant that they were going to enter the Thunder Fog Forest. He really wanted to follow his mistress to the imperial capital to experience the Spring Immortal's Gate Conference. If this opportunity could only be obtained by entering the Thunder Fog Forest, he would rather not have it.
"What? What do you have in mind? "Han Ning's tone turned cold.
Peng Maohua took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Little miss, even the Guardian King of the Empire almost died in the Thunder Fog Forest. If we go in..."
His expression was filled with worry and worry.
Han Ning smiled, "Chief Guard Peng, you're thinking too much. How could I enter the depths of the Thunder Fog Forest? I can only go within two meters of the Thunder Fog Forest. If I can't find it, I will not go in to search. Your life is precious, but mine is not worthless. "
Hearing Han Ning's words, Peng Maohua heaved a sigh of relief. The young mistress was right. She would not put herself in danger. If they only went within two meters of the Thunder Fog Forest, they would be fine.
As he thought of this, Peng Maohua said to a skinny youth, "Chai Jiu, stay here and look after the horses. At the same time, clean up the surroundings."
Seeing that Peng Maohua did not have any objections, Han Ning nodded, "The rest of you, follow me."
Peng Maohua led Mo Wuji and the other eight guards to open a path. Han Ning and her personal maid, Shao Lan, followed closely behind.
Two hours later, the trees in front of them grew taller and taller. The path created by humans could no longer be seen. However, the grass here was much thinner, so there was no need to use a knife to carve a path.
"Little mistress, we are about 30 meters away from entering the Thunder Fog Forest," Peng Maohua said nervously.
Han Ning nodded, "The sky is getting dark, so we will not go in. Instead, we will search around the perimeter of 30 meters. Everyone, form a human wall. Everyone take note, even though the Two-leaved Fire Grass is a rare spiritual herb, not many people need it. It is best to search for this grass in the evening, because at this time, you will see a faint red glow at the core. "
"Yes," Peng Maohua replied. Mo Wuji could clearly feel him heave a sigh of relief.
Mo Wuji knew about the Two-leaved Fire Grass. When he was at Dan Han Drug Refinery, he had read about it in a book. This grass had two leaves at the root, and in the middle of the two leaves, there was a very short core. The core was slightly red, and looked somewhat like a flame.
"Ah …" Just as Peng Maohua told everyone to disperse, a scream broke the silence.
"Chang Hongcai, what are you doing?" Peng Maohua's tone was stern.
"I was bitten by a Heart Drilling Snake …" Chang Hongcai's voice was trembling. It was obvious that he could not bear the pain.
Han Ning took out a pill and passed it to Chang Hongcai, "Hurry and swallow it. The pain is excruciating after being bitten by this snake. If you do not detoxify it, you will die very soon. "
"Thank …" Just as Chang Hongcai said his thanks, Mo Wuji heard Ding Bu'Er's scream, "So many, so many …"
"Cha cha …" Not only Ding Bu'Er, but everyone else also saw what was going on.
There were at least a few hundred Heart Drilling Snakes coming from behind Chang Hongcai, and there seemed to be some rustling sounds in the distance. It was obvious that there were more Heart Drilling Snakes following behind these few hundred.
"Everyone, hurry and run …" Han Ning said as she pulled the maid beside her and quickly retreated.
Naturally, Mo Wuji did not hesitate to run away as everyone ran away.
Before Chang Hongcai could swallow the antidote, he let out a few more screams. Mo Wuji subconsciously turned his head and saw that Chang Hongcai was surrounded by more than ten Heart Drilling Snakes. There was no way to save him.
Mo Wuji felt his scalp go numb. He increased his speed and ran away. At the same time, he pulled out the foot-long knife from his leg. These snakes were too scary. Once he was surrounded, he would not be any better off than Chang Hongcai.
After running for about ten meters, Mo Wuji felt that something was wrong. If he continued to run, he would enter the Thunder Fog Forest. He wanted to see where the rest of the people ran to, but he saw a black line flying towards him. Without thinking, Mo Wuji slashed at the black line with the knife in his hand.
The pungent smell of blood almost made him vomit. Mo Wuji immediately understood what was going on. These Heart Drilling Snakes could actually fly.
There were rustling sounds coming from both sides. At this point, how could he care less about the Thunder Fog Forest in front of him? Even if he stopped, he would be one step closer to death. Increasing his speed, Mo Wuji rushed into the Thunder Fog Forest without hesitation.
