"Do you think Jia Yin went to the Water Droplet Building too?"
Sun Wen suddenly thought of something. The valley filled with poisonous fog could block sound transmitting talisman signals. She couldn't call Yuwen Jiayin previously because she was on her way to the Water Droplet Building.
"Sister, you're not that stupid after all."
Actually, Sun Xing had already thought of this possibility, but he didn't say it out loud. The Yuwen siblings were smart and skilled. They didn't team up with others easily, so the chances of them getting killed were very low. Even if they died, they could only die in the mouths of demonic beasts or in traps.
"Puchi!"
Du Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud. Sun Wen was really a naive girl. It was only when he was almost at the valley that he thought of this matter. Fortunately, he had looked at the map in advance and knew that there was a poisonous fog in the valley. He also knew that the poisonous fog could block the sound transmission talisman signal. Otherwise, if he waited for her reminder, it would be too late.
Inside the secret realm, there were a lot of places that could block out the sound transmitting spell. Plus, if the Sun family knew about the treasure, then the Yuwen family might know about it as well. There was nothing strange about the Yuwen siblings going to the Water Droplet Building in advance. They'll look for them, and we'll look for ours. It's hard to say who will find them first.
"Attention, hold your breath."
When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they could see a greyish-green fog in front of them. Even the leaves on the branches had turned greyish-green. It was as eerie and terrifying as if they had walked on the road to hell. This scene reminded Du Feng of the many times he had fought with Meng Po.
He told everyone to hold their breaths because they absolutely couldn't breathe in the poisonous mist. If it was inhaled by an ordinary person, it would not work even with the antidote. This was because the toxins would gradually accumulate and damage various organs in the human body. The antidote needed some time to take effect, not to mention that there would be side effects if one took too much of it.
A martial artist could adjust the internal circulation of true essence to meet their body's needs. Even if they didn't breathe for a long time, it didn't matter. Fortunately, this poisonous fog could only be breathed into the human body. If it was the kind of situation where one's skin would be poisoned, then it wouldn't be as simple as holding one's breath. One would also have to open a true essence shield all the way.
Every martial artist knew how to use a true essence shield to protect themselves, but the problem was that it consumed far too much true essence. There was no way to replenish one's elemental energy in the valley. If they really had to use their elemental energy to walk the entire way, they would probably run out of elemental energy halfway through. In comparison, it was easier to hold one's breath and use a bit of True Essence to circulate within one's body.
Du Feng told the others to hold their breaths, but he did not do so. He was impervious to all poisons, so he naturally wouldn't care about this little bit of poisonous mist. Of course, he didn't deliberately show it, so Sun Xing and Sun Wen didn't see it. They thought he was also holding his breath, so everyone could only communicate with their divine senses.
Even Divine Sense could not extend too far in this poisonous fog. Fortunately, the three of them were very close to each other, so there was no problem communicating.
"Wow, why do I regret coming to this place? What kind of lousy place did grandpa find?"
After all, Sun Xing had been pampered since he was young and had never suffered much. Coming to a place like the poisonous fog, he would be annoyed after a while. Furthermore, Sun Xingshan had specially marked the Water Droplet Building on his map, but not on his sister's map. This meant that this place was more important, and there might be some secrets that others did not know about.
He thought to himself, Grandpa is too much of a scammer. If I really came to this place, there would be no need for monsters to appear, and I would be depressed to death. What kind of good things are there that are worth taking such a risk?
While Sun Xing was blackmailing his grandfather, Du Feng was getting more and more interested in this Water Droplet Building. Generally speaking, in a mystic realm, the more difficult the place was, the better the treasure. This Water Droplet Building, just the way to get there was already so difficult. Even if others knew about this hidden treasure, they might not be able to reach the destination alive. As such, very few people would fight for the treasures in the Water Droplet Building.
"Be careful, there's a sound!"
Du Feng walked and suddenly stopped to warn Sun Wen and Sun Xing. His perception was stronger, so he could hear the sound earlier than others. In the poisonous fog, vision was blocked, and even Divine Sense could not extend too far. Instead, hearing was more useful.
"En!"
Sun Wen responded, holding a sword in her right hand and a whip in her left. When she was in Stony Plain City, she loved to use a whip, and it was a very long one. She used a long whip for ranged battles, and when she was in close combat, she used a female's sword.
Sun Xing also responded, holding a sword with both hands, the three of them stood back to back, paying attention to their surroundings. The valley was filled with greyish green poisonous fog, and they could not see how wide the path was. They could only rely on their intuition to move forward. Thus, they could not determine which direction the demonic beasts would appear from and could only pay attention.
"Ji, ji, ji …"
A sharp and noisy sound could be heard, and Du Feng knew that something was coming. This time, Sun Wen's reaction was not slow, and she directly lashed out with her whip. Previously in the Hearing Word Temple, she was too reliant on Du Feng, and now that they were in the poisonous fog, she revealed her strength.
It's a bat! When Sun Wen lashed out with her whip, a grey thing fell to the ground. Du Feng looked through the poisonous fog and saw that it was a bat with wings made of minced meat. It was bigger than a normal bat, but it was not particularly large, only a little bigger than a chicken or duck, and a little smaller than a goose.
Normally, demonic beasts of this size would not pose much of a threat, provided that there were not many of them. However, this was not the case. The grey bats were flying over from all directions, and they did not use their eyes to see, so they were not affected by the poisonous fog.
"Die!"
Sun Xing had been preparing for a long time, and when he saw the grey bats pouncing over, he immediately slashed out with his sword. The sword Qi slashed out for more than ten meters, and logically speaking, it should be able to kill a few grey bats along the way. However, things were different from what he imagined. The perception of these bats was very strong, and their movements were very agile. They all dodged, and not a single one of them was hit.
Ah! Sun Xing was dumbfounded. In terms of swordsmanship, he was not inferior to his sister, and that move just now was the sword technique he was proud of. Why didn't he hit a single bat? He thought that he could kill eight to ten of them.
"Use the whip!"
