For three days in a row, Zhao Hai and ShiYan had been looking for Earthworm in the Poison Mist Pond. Needless to say, they really found Earthworm. Zhao Hai found three while ShiYan found two.
The iron nematodes that they caught were all placed in the steel pipe. One end of the steel pipe was sealed, while the other end had some plugs. The plugs also had a buckle that could block the plugs tightly. In order to prevent the earthworm from suffocating, the steel pipe had some small holes. These small holes could allow the steel pipe to breathe, but would not allow the iron nematodes to be taken out.
The Earthworm was a poisonous insect with a very strong vitality. If it was placed inside the steel pipe, even if it didn't eat or drink, it wouldn't die even after a few months. After Zhao Hai and ShiYan caught the Earthworm, they directly placed it inside the steel pipe and then placed it in the mud. Although the Earthworm couldn't run out of the steel pipe, it could still come into contact with the mud. This made it even more difficult for them to die.
Now, it was already the fourth day since Zhao Hai and ShiYan arrived at the Poison Mist Pond. At noon, the two of them casually stood in the mud and ate some dry food. After that, they took a detoxification pill and continued to walk forward.
The two of them carefully walked forward with their feet. At this time, a few wind-breaking sounds were heard in front of them. These sounds were very soft, and the target didn't seem to be Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai still became nervous because he could tell that these wind-breaking sounds were the sound of arrows flying out.
Zhao Hai turned his head and saw that ShiYan had already taken out his saber and was brandishing it in front of him. All the arrows flying towards him were all knocked to the ground by him.
The arrows were green, and the color was somewhat strange. At first glance, one could tell that they were poisonous arrows.
Zhao Hai's hand moved and a long saber appeared in his hand. Then, he suddenly shouted, "Who is it? Come out, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
As soon as Zhao Hai's voice fell, a black shadow suddenly jumped out about three meters in front of Zhao Hai. This person held two Water-splitting Moth Eyebrow Thorns in his hands and directly thrust them towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai shouted and waved his long saber towards the person. But at this time, the Water-splitting Moth Eyebrow Thorns in the person's hand suddenly flew out and shot towards Zhao Hai. Moreover, the speed was very fast.
Zhao Hai shouted and bent his body backwards, dodging the two Water-splitting Moth Eyebrow Thorns. But at this time, the person's hands were like phantoms as hidden weapons flew out one after another. It was like a rain of hidden weapons.
Zhao Hai exerted force on his feet and flew out horizontally, dodging the hidden weapons. Then, his body moved and directly jumped up. Then, his feet gently touched the ground as he pounced towards the person. The long saber in his hand also slashed down.
When the person saw that Zhao Hai dodged his attack, his body couldn't help but sink down. Then, his whole body sank into the mud and disappeared.
Zhao Hai acted as if he didn't know. His saber continued to slash down. When the saber slashed into the mud, a scream was heard from the mud, followed by a stream of blood.
Zhao Hai stretched out his left hand and grabbed a person. Then, he lifted the corpse up and threw it into the mud.
At this time, ShiYan was still fighting with another person. That person was also using hidden weapons. The hidden weapons in his hands were constantly flying out. However, ShiYan's saber skill was focused on defense and not offense. Therefore, that person's hidden weapons really couldn't break through ShiYan's defense.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite. His feet touched the ground and his whole body flew towards the Cultivator. The Cultivator obviously dared to see how Zhao Hai killed the other Cultivator. He waved his hand and threw a hidden weapon at Zhao Hai, blocking Zhao Hai's attack. Then, he landed on the mud and ran away.
But at this time, ShiYan, who had been in a defensive position, suddenly moved. He shot forward like an arrow. The long saber in his hand wasn't used for slashing, but for stabbing. This saber was aimed at the Cultivator's back.
The saber was extremely fast, carrying an indomitable aura. The person who was fighting with ShiYan had never thought that ShiYan would have such a saber. He was directly stabbed in the back by ShiYan's saber and died a violent death.
After killing the Cultivator, ShiYan let out a long breath. He then turned to Zhao Hai and laughed, "Brother Tian, you are really good. You killed one in a few moves. You are much stronger than me."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Brother ShiYan's last saber was really amazing. If you use it suddenly, I'm afraid that not many people can hide it."
Shi Yan sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. My saber technique focuses on defense rather than strength. You should know that it's not easy for individual cultivators like you and me to find a suitable cultivation method. My saber technique was obtained by accident. Unfortunately, I only have one move, so I can only use it as an assassin. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Collect the things on these two people's bodies and bury them in the mud. When we leave, we will dig up the bodies. Although the time they stay in the mud is short, they will be more or less contaminated by the toxins. Maybe we can sell them for a good price." Zhao Hai nodded and collected the spatial equipment of the Cultivator he killed. He then buried the Cultivator's body and picked up some hidden weapons around to prevent them from stabbing his feet.
Zhao Hai picked up the hidden weapons and said to ShiYan, "ShiYan, do you know where they came from? Why are they all using hidden weapons? This is really rare. Moreover, they can come and go freely in the mud. This is even rarer. "
ShiYan nodded and said, "It is indeed rare. These guys should have been active in the Poison Fog Pool all year round. Therefore, they have summed up a set of fighting methods in the Poison Fog Pool. The reason why they can come and go freely in the mud, I think it has something to do with their clothes. Did you notice that their leather clothes are different from ours? I don't know what kind of leather they are made of."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "When they came out of the mud, I felt a little strange. They seemed to have dug a hole in the mud. Why don't we look for them and see where they dug their hole. We don't want to fall into their hole."
ShiYan nodded. Then the two carefully walked forward, using their feet to test the ground. Before long, they found the hole that the two men dug. The two carefully tested it and found that the hole wasn't very big. It was only big enough for one person to hide inside. They didn't know how the two men were able to breathe inside. Zhao Hai then used his feet to test the hole. He wanted to see how deep the hole was. At this time, he suddenly felt something hard on his feet, like an iron rod.
Zhao Hai gawked, then he used his feet to carefully explore the hole. He found that there was more than one iron rod in the hole. Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he immediately reached out and dug out the iron rods from the hole. After digging them out, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but light up. The iron rods were about one meter long and had small holes on them. They were exactly the same as the steel pipes that Zhao Hai and ShiYan had prepared.
Zhao Hai immediately opened the steel pipe and found a Earthworm inside. Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. His movement also attracted ShiYan's attention. When ShiYan saw the steel pipe in Zhao Hai's hand, he couldn't help but be surprised. Then he immediately understood. He also reached his hand into the hole and felt a few steel pipes.
When the two of them took out the steel pipes and counted them, they found that there were exactly five steel pipes in each hole. Each steel pipe contained an Earthworm.
Zhao Hai turned to ShiYan and laughed, "Brother ShiYan, it seems like our luck has taken a turn for the better. We actually found five Earthworms. It seems like those two fellows also came for them."
ShiYan nodded and said with a happy face, "Now, we only need a few more Earth Nematodes. Once we find enough, we can leave this place. Hahaha, this is great. Let's put these Earth Nematodes together with our own Earth Nematodes. The earlier we find them, the earlier we can leave."
Zhao Hai nodded, then the two of them put the steel pipes together with theirs. Then the two of them went to look for Earthworms. Unfortunately, they didn't find any today.
In the evening, the two of them returned to the hard ground to rest. There were also more than 20 people gathered there. They were all in groups of three or two. Sitting there, they were eating and chatting. They were all using Secret Voice-transmitting Skill. The others couldn't hear what they were saying.
Zhao Hai was the same. He sat there and said to ShiYan, "Brother ShiYan, there are a lot of Earthworms here. It seems like there are a lot of people who know that we can enter the Poison Tree Sect by looking for Earthworms. Do you think someone will try to rob us on our way back? What should we do if they try to rob us? "
ShiYan's face was a bit solemn as he said, "That's possible. To be honest, Earthworms are very hard to find. Don't look at how we found a few in the past few days. That's because our luck was good. Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't be able to find even one in a few days. However, based on the current situation, there aren't a lot of people who know about this. Otherwise, the Poison Mist Pond would already be overcrowded. Moreover, I think that the Poison Tree Sect wouldn't keep using this method to recruit disciples. Otherwise, how many disciples would they have to recruit? Therefore, we have to act quickly and try to find all the Earthworms we need in the next two days. Then, we can go back as soon as possible."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, we've been on the left side for the past few days. Tomorrow, we'll go to the right side." ShiYan didn't object. In the past few days, they had been moving around on the left side, so it was time for them to go to the right side. As long as they could find five Earthworm, they could take them to the Poison Tree Sect and become Outer Sect disciples. Then, their dreams would come true.
