In the Cloudy River Battlefield, there were many dangerous and forbidden grounds, and many of them were occupied by overlord-level Demon Generals. For example, in the Taimang Mountains, the territory of the Giant Berserk Ape, no cultivator dared to provoke it. 3
However, there were also many places that were purely hostile. Even a Cloud River Tier cultivator would find it difficult to survive in such a hostile environment.
The Five Poisons Pool was undoubtedly one of them.
The environment inside was not much different from the Forest of Ten Thousand Poisons. There were countless poisonous creatures inside. These creatures breathed out all year round, causing the entire Five Poisons Pool to be filled with a poisonous fog that could not be dispersed by wind.
However, relatively speaking, the toxicity of the many poisonous creatures and fog in the Five Poisons Pool was much more powerful than in the Forest of Ten Thousand Poisons.
After all, one was a forbidden land in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, while the other was a forbidden land in the Cloud River Battlefield. There was still a difference in level.
In this forbidden land, there were many kinds of poisonous spiders, poisonous centipedes, poisonous frogs, poisonous snakes, and poisonous scorpions.
It was named after the Five Poisons.
Although it had the word "pool" in it, it was not a small pool. If one looked down from above, it was a vast abyss of unknown depth.
At a glance, one could not see the bottom of the Five Poisons Pool at all.
It was rumored that overlord-level Demon Generals lived in it. However, no cultivator dared to approach such a dangerous place. Hence, no one could say for sure whether there were overlord-level Demon Beasts here.
Search!
Lu Ye steered her spirit boat and hovered in the air a thousand feet above the abyss. Looking down, she could see the poisonous fog churning below, as if some inexplicable vicious creature would emerge at any time.
"This place …" Lu Ye glanced at Hua Ci casually. "Great danger! Are you sure you want to cultivate here? "
However, Hua Ci's beautiful eyes lit up. Although she had found the existence of the Five Poisons Pool on the map and deduced from its name that this place was suitable for her cultivation, she had never been here before and had not carefully inquired about the information of the Five Poisons Pool.
Now that she saw the environment with her own eyes, she was immediately sure that this was the place she had always dreamed of.
To others, perhaps they would avoid it like the plague, but she was rushing like a flock of ducks.
"Of course! Hua Ci smiled. Taking a step forward, she jumped down from the spirit boat and landed directly below. Her clothes fluttered, and she was as beautiful as a fairy.
Lu Ye put away the spirit boat and followed closely behind.
At the same time, he immersed himself in observing the reaction of the Talent Tree. As soon as he entered the range of the Five Poison Pool, the Talent Tree began to emit grey mist. The further down he went, the more intense the reaction of the Talent Tree became.
From this, it could be seen how vile the environment here was. Compared to the Forest of Ten Thousand Poisons, it was at least ten times worse.
Hua Ci, on the other hand, had a joyful expression on her face. She looked left and right, and it didn't seem as if they had arrived at a dangerous place that would cause even Cloud River Tier cultivators to shudder at the mere mention of it. Instead, it seemed as if they had arrived at a beautiful garden.
This woman …
Lu Ye looked at her enchanting back and slowly shook his head. If it wasn't for his Talent Tree, he probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to touch her.
Hua Ci did not fall into the depths. Although she could cultivate with poison, there was a limit to what she could endure. Due to the inheritance she had received, her perception of poison was sharper than anyone else's.
Although she didn't have an Innate Skill Tree, she could clearly sense that the deeper she went, the more intense the toxicity of the Five Poisons Pool's environment became.
The place she was currently in was the most suitable place for her to cultivate.
Gracefully landing on a protruding rock wall, Hua Ci took a deep breath and opened her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the entire Five Poisons Pool.
"From now on, this is my territory," she announced happily.
Unfortunately, the only audience was Lu Ye.
She had once cultivated in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. On the day she came out of seclusion, the Forest of a Thousand Poisons had completely become history.
Lu Ye found it hard to imagine what it would be like when Hua Ci came out of seclusion after cultivating in such a place.
Would even the Five Poisons Pool become a safe area? If that was the case, who knew how terrifying her cultivation would be.
"Do you want to think about it carefully?" Lu Ye asked as he looked at the rock wall beside him. There was a small black snake the length of a chopstick. It was flicking its tongue and swimming rapidly.
As the snake flicked its tongue, there was clearly poisonous gas coming out of the snake's mouth.
It spat it out.
"What's there to think about?" Hua Ci replied with a smile.
Yes.
"I can't stay here to cultivate with you."
If there was enough fuel for the Talent Tree, it would be fine.
To stay all the time, but living in such a ring all year round …
Under such circumstances, the fuel stored in the Talent Tree would definitely be consumed quickly.
Clean.
Even if he set up a formation here, he might not be able to block it.
Block the corrosion of the highly toxic poison.
Hua Ci turned her head to look at him and pursed her lips into a smile.
"Yes, but I'm not a child. Cultivation is dry.
There's no need for anyone else to accompany me. You've been here all this time.
If it weren't for Hu Po and Yiyi, wouldn't you be alone? If
You can't even endure this loneliness, then how can you cultivate? "
Lu Ye nodded. "You stay here. I'll go down and take a look.
As he said this, he flashed down even lower. Hua Ci.
She didn't even have time to stop him.
Since he couldn't stay here with Hua Ci, then …
At the very least, he could guarantee that there was nothing here that could threaten her life.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Hua Ci didn't know what Lu Ye was thinking. Her heart immediately warmed.
Soon, she felt the violent fluctuations of spiritual power coming from below. Occasionally, there was the sound of sabers, and some strange hissing and roaring.
It seemed that Lu Ye was fighting with something. Lu Ye didn't return until the next day. Although his clothes were neat, Hua Ci could tell that he had changed into new clothes.
He came in front of Hua Ci and casually tossed her a storage bag. He said somewhat reluctantly, "The rumors are wrong. There are no overlord-level Demon Generals here."
He had encountered many Cloud River Realm Demon Generals. There were many types, but there were no overlord-level ones.
He really wanted to find an overlord-level Demon General to test his strength.
Hua Ci took the storage bag and opened it. She saw that it was full of Demon Cores, many dark green snake gallbladders, and some poison sacs. Obviously, these were Lu Ye's gains this time.
Just from these spoils of war, she knew that Lu Ye had
Killed a lot of poisonous creatures.
"This is …" As Hua Ci spoke, she suddenly took out a flower from her storage pouch. The flower was completely black and was about the size of a palm. At first glance, it looked like a sinister smiling face was imprinted on it.
"Ghost Face Devil's Snare?" Hua Ci was stunned and looked at Lu Ye. "You found it below?"
Lu Ye nodded. "There's a large area at the bottom of the lake. I don't know what it is, but it seems to be very poisonous. I brought one back for you to see. Is it useful?"
He came to this conclusion because there were many poisonous creatures living in that area, and those poisonous creatures seemed to like this flower very much.
"It's useful. It's very useful to me!" Hua Ci nodded affirmatively.
"Then I'll go and pick them all." Lu Ye said and was about to set off again.
Hua Ci grabbed his arm and shook her head. "No need. You have to leave some for me. One day, I'll go down and pick them myself."
Lu Ye thought for a moment and didn't insist. "That's fine." In cultivation, one was afraid of not having a goal. Without a goal, there would be no motivation.
If he left those Ghost Face Devil's Snare as Hua Ci's goal, she would probably work harder in cultivation.
There were still many poisonous creatures in the Five Poisons Pool that Lu Ye hadn't dealt with. However, those poisonous creatures didn't pose too much of a threat to the current Hua Ci.
"Go. It's not good to stay here for too long." Hua Ci's tone was gentle.
"Then I'll be going."
Lu Ye turned around and suddenly seemed to think of something. He said, "Oh, right. There's something else I want to give you."
"What is it?" Hua Ci was curious.
"Give me your hand."
Hua Ci stretched out a small white hand, exquisite like a white jade carving.
Lu Ye clenched his fist and seemed to be holding something in his hand. He gently placed it on her hand.
Hua Ci's face was still full of expectation, but after feeling the furry and sharp touch on her palm, she suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her face turned snow-white.
Looking up, she saw Lu Ye's face full of a smirk.
Looking down again, when Lu Ye took his hand away, there was an eight-clawed spider crawling on his palm.
At this moment, Lu Ye almost saw the fine hair on Hua Ci's delicate skin stand up.
She retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, flinging the spider away as if she had been greatly frightened. Following her instincts, she threw herself into Lu Ye's arms, wrapped in a fragrant wind, and hugged him tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
The smirk on Lu Ye's face instantly froze.
He never expected Hua Ci to have such a reaction. He still remembered that when Lu Yushan of the Thousand Secrets Pavilion took out the lifelike spider-like creation of Yanshi on the Chess Island during the Battle of Spirit Creek, Hua Ci was so scared that she smashed the spider with her palm.
He just wanted to tease her before they parted, but it seemed that … he had gone too far?
With Lu Ye's current perception, he could clearly feel the soul-stirring curve and shape of her breasts. The tip of his nose was also filled with the intoxicating fragrance. Her hair was fluttering in the wind and tickling his face …
From Hua Ci's chest came a violent and rapid heartbeat, as dense as the drumbeat of a war drum. She buried her head in his arms, as if only in this way could she find a trace of security.
The guilt in Lu Ye's heart erupted like a tsunami. He gently patted Hua Ci's shoulder, opened his dry lips, and comforted her, "I … hiss …"
But the flesh on his waist was suddenly pinched by Hua Ci and twisted.
After venting her anger, Hua Ci finally retreated. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Lu Ye with wide eyes.
Lu Ye was quite embarrassed. He avoided her gaze, scratched his head, and laughed dryly. "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. I'll come to see you again when I have time."
In the end, Lu Ye did not dare to look Hua Ci in the eye.
Fortunately, he also knew that Hua Ci would not really be angry or hate him because of this matter. It was just that this time he seemed to have bullied her too much.
He secretly decided that he would not do such a thing next time. It was a pity that he could not say goodbye properly. After parting this time, he did not know when they would meet again.
