Xiao Family's back mountain was filled with poisonous beasts and poisonous plants. It was an extremely dangerous place.
Even so, there was no lack of natural treasures here. At the same time, it was also the Xiao Family's foundation.
Ordinary Xiao Family disciples came to the back mountain to train, search for treasures, train themselves, and obtain resources. Only then could the entire Xiao Family prosper and become stronger, able to stand among the many powerful families of Martial Yang City.
Today, Xiao Yang finished plundering Xiao Pi and the others and came to the back mountain. He wanted to find some poisonous plants and animals to refine Qi Nourishing Pills for him to cultivate his poison cultivation.
Furthermore, he had the Bloodthirsty Ice Silkworm, which absorbed the many poisonous beasts and plants in the back mountain to refine the toxins and provide cultivation resources.
In one month, how could Xiao Chen, an insignificant Xiao Family genius, compare to him? Even if he was the son of the Clan Head and had countless resources, it would be hard for him to catch up to Xiao Yang, who had the Bloodthirsty Ice Silkworm.
The back mountain was filled with miasma. Xiao Yang looked up and saw guards at the foot of the mountain. The young geniuses of the Xiao Family lined up to enter the mountain. They showed their Xiao Family identity tokens and paid the entrance fee to enter the mountain to search for their own fortuitous encounters.
The guards were absent-minded. They were very familiar with the entrance fee to the mountain. Even if they closed their eyes, they would not make a mistake. They discussed the changes in the back mountain.
"I heard that a valley appeared in the back mountain recently. There are poisonous beasts guarding the natural treasures in the valley. The natural treasures are about to appear."
"Are you talking about the Red Beauty Vermilion Fruit? The poisonous beasts guarding the natural treasures in the depths of the valley are not simple. "
"... No matter what, if I did not have to guard the foot of the mountain, I would also want to give it a try."
"I heard that the valley was originally a dangerous place. There are poisonous plants and beasts everywhere. It is very dangerous."
"..."
Amid the discussion, Xiao Yang's eyes lit up. Poisonous plants, poisonous beasts, Red Beauty Vermilion Fruit, and other terms entered his ears.
Naturally, he recognized the Red Beauty Vermilion Fruit. It absorbed the essence of the sun, and through certain means, could be converted into fire poison, which was very useful for his cultivation and the formation of poison veins.
The Poison Veins were also divided into attributes, and it was not unchanging. The reason why he had not considered this problem before was that Heaven and Earth Treasures were rare, and his strength was still too weak. The Heaven Splitter Poison Tyrant Spell had not reached that level yet, and he needed to divide the attributes to perfect his Poison Veins.
In addition, the valley was filled with poisonous plants and beasts, and miasma. It was the perfect place for him to cultivate his poison arts.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yang had already made up his mind. He had to go to the valley. However, the back of the mountain was so big that he didn't know where the valley was.
"Little brother, we're going to explore the valley together. Are you interested in joining us?"
Speak of the devil. Just as Xiao Yang was thinking about how to find the valley, he stepped into the back of the mountain and saw a group of five walking toward him.
"Valley? The valley where the Red Beauty Vermilion Fruit is? "
Xiao Yang's interest was piqued. The other party did not seem to recognize him, but it made sense. The Xiao family was flourishing, and many people had only heard of his name and had not seen him before.
"Yes, I am Xiao Jingtian. I see that brother's strength is not bad. You can form a team with us to search for the Red Beauty Vermilion Fruit."
This group had three men and two women. The one who spoke was their leader, Xiao Jingtian.
"Alright, I also want to take a look at the Poison Valley."
Xiao Yang's eyes lit up as he agreed.
Hearing Xiao Yang agree, Xiao Jingtian exchanged glances with the young girl beside him. Their bright eyes released a different kind of light, as if they had a tacit understanding.
Immediately after, the five people started to introduce themselves. Xiao Yang casually created a fake name, Xiao Yi, to fool them.
Through the introduction, Xiao Yang also knew the relationship between the three men and two women in front of him. Xiao Jingtian and the young girl beside him, Xiao Qiao 'er, were lovers. The remaining man and woman were also a pair. The last young man was Xiao Jingtian's younger brother.
The five of them were very close, and they cooperated well when dealing with the Poison Beast in the back of the mountain. With one look, it was clear that they had worked together for a long time and trusted each other.
However, there was a faint sense of vigilance and wariness towards Xiao Yang. Occasionally, they would reveal their gazes to Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang could tell that the five people in front of him probably had some ill intentions towards him and were secretly plotting something.
When Xiao Yang made a move along the way, his performance was very ordinary, and his strength was not obvious.
"Elder Brother Jingtian? I have never seen this Xiao Yi before. Is it really possible to get him to attract the Poison Beast? "
"That's right, he is not strong. He is just cannon fodder."
"Isn't that just right? What we need is cannon fodder."
"If the clan discovers that we are using him to attract the Poison Beast's attention and take the opportunity to obtain the Beauty Vermilion Fruit, I'm afraid …"
"What are you afraid of? We did it secretly. How many clan juniors died in the back of the mountain? Have you seen the clan do anything about it?"
"That's right. This is a world where the strong preys on the weak. If you are careless and unlucky, you can only blame yourself for dying."
"If you want resources, you have to fight with your life. Do you have any idea whether it is more worthwhile to fight with other people's lives or to fight with your own life?"
Seeing that Xiao Yang was about to return after going out to relieve himself, Xiao Jingtian made a final conclusion and decision.
"Aiyo, we have been walking for half a day, but we still haven't reached that valley?"
Xiao Yang pretended not to know. When he saw the few people exchanging glances, he smiled faintly, looking a little silly and sweet.
"Cannon fodder to lure the Poison Beast away?"
Xiao Yang thought inwardly. With his ability, how could he not hear the discussion between Xiao Jingtian and the others? In the end, it was still unknown who would emerge victorious.
The group moved forward in silence. Xiao Yang could feel that the deeper they went into the back of the mountain, the more vigilant Xiao Jingtian and the others were, and the better they were to 'protect' him.
"Up ahead is the valley where the Beauty Vermilion Fruit is."
Xiao Jingtian stood at the top of a small mountain and pointed out the direction.
Xiao Yang looked over. The valley ahead was filled with miasma and weeds were growing everywhere. He couldn't see the situation inside clearly, and he couldn't see if there were any ferocious beasts roaring. Coupled with the fact that the sun was blocked, it gave off a gloomy and dangerous feeling.
The mountains on both sides of the valley were steep, and the cliffs were so steep that they were almost vertical. The cliffs were filled with sharp and strange rocks. Because there was no sunlight all year round, there was water seeping out of the mountain and moss growing on it, making it even more difficult for people to climb up.
The valley was twenty to thirty meters wide, and deep white bones could be seen on the ground. There were people, wild beasts, and ferocious beasts. There were even bubbles rising from the grass. With a single glance, one could tell that the grass was a swamp that could devour people.
With a single glance, one could tell that this was a place of great danger. Not to mention the ferocious beasts guarding the Beauty Vermilion Fruit, just the environment of the valley was enough to cause great danger to people.
There were definitely ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes hidden in the grass and swamp that could take people's lives at any time.
At this moment, there was no one in the valley because it was actually quite hidden.
"The last time we came to this valley, we were chased out by the poisonous beasts before we even entered. Originally, there were eight of us, but now there are only five left."
Xiao Jingtian's meaning was obvious. The remaining three people would most likely die in the valley. After he finished speaking, he took out a medicine bottle and poured out a pill, handing it to Xiao Yang. "Brother Xiao Yi, this is a yellow class upper level antidote. Seeing that we are about to enter the valley, the miasma is everywhere. Swallow one first to avoid being poisoned. We will enter the valley immediately."
"Antidote? Alright, I'll eat it. "
Xiao Yang smiled and swallowed it. If this pill was really an antidote, he would have to reconsider and refine it a little before swallowing it. However, the pill Xiao Jingtian took out was obviously not an antidote. It only looked like a yellow class upper level antidote, but it was actually a poison pill.
Xiao Yang would never reject any poison pill. The more the better. Even if Xiao Jingtian did something later, so what? The valley was filled with danger, and it was hard to say who would be the cannon fodder.
"Ahaha, Xiao Yi, good, very good."
Seeing Xiao Yang swallow the poison pill without even looking, Xiao Jingtian laughed loudly. The others also heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Brother Xiao Yi, this valley is filled with danger. Brother Xiao, please lead the way for us."
"Lead the way? Isn't that very dangerous? "
Xiao Yang pretended not to know and smiled.
"Dangerous, of course it's dangerous. Otherwise, why would we need a cannon fodder like you?"
Xiao Qiaoer said with a smile when she saw Xiao Yang swallow the poison pill.
"Cannon fodder? What if I don't? "
Xiao Yang smiled coldly. As a disciple of a Xiao family, even if the competition was huge, he still felt some disdain for using such underhanded methods. Even if he knew what Xiao Jingtian and the others did.
"The pill you ate is a poison pill. If you don't eat the antidote within a day, you will die from the poison. If you don't believe me, press on your chest. Do you feel a faint pain? Do you feel a tightness in your chest? "
Xiao Jingtian said confidently, as if everything was within his control.
Xiao Yang secretly patted his chest. He was completely fine. The medicinal properties of the poison had been refined by him into his Poison Veins. However, on the surface, his expression changed. "You guys, we are of the same race. How could you do such a sinister thing?"
"Haha, so what if we are of the same clan to achieve our goal?"
Xiao Jingtian smiled coldly and looked at Xiao Yang with disdain. He felt that Xiao Yang's strength was weak and even his thoughts were so naive.
"Good, very good. Let's enter the valley. "
Xiao Yang raised his head and looked at the sky. The time was just right, and the light was just right. He made a decision in his heart.
So what if the other party treated him like a stranger? He gave the other party a chance. Since the other party did not take it, then they could not blame him for being ruthless.
