The black line penetrated into the cave, and instantly a series of hissing sounds rose and fell, then immediately faded into silence.
“It’s finished?” Hu Mazi asked in surprise.
“We’ve blocked their nest with evil energy,” David said as he pulled back the black line. “For a while, there will be no new poisonous insects appearing.”
The three quickened their pace and crossed the canyon, where a wide open space suddenly appeared before them.
A valley of tens of thousands of hectares spread out before our eyes, planted with all kinds of strange and poisonous plants. Colorful mists swirled in the valley, and a black palace could vaguely be seen standing in the center.
“That is the core of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley—the Ten Thousand Poison Hall,” Mo Chen said as he pointed at the palace. “The Valley Lord, Wan Duzi, should be inside.”
Just then, a sinister voice sounded from within the poisonous grass: “Three fools who don’t know their own death, how dare they barge into my Ten Thousand Poison Valley?”
As the voice echoed, tens of cultivators wearing black robes emerged from among the poisonous grass.
They all have scary faces and carry gourds filled with poison. The leader was a one-eyed old man whose face was covered in snake scale-like patterns.
“He is the Snake Elder, the law enforcement elder of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley,” Mo Chen said in a low voice. “His ‘Snake Turn’ technique has reached the seventh level, making him invulnerable to swords and spears.”
Snake Elder scanned the three with his remaining eye, and when he saw David, a glint of greed appeared in his eyes: “Such abundant Yin Energy, perfect for feeding my ‘Thousand Legged Snake’.”
He took a black cloth bag from his waist and opened it.
A pungent stench wafted out, and a black snake the size of a bucket slithered out of the bag, its body covered in countless legs, each filled with thorns.
“This is the Thousand-Legged Snake King, with the strength of a fifth-level Earth God,” Mo Chen said.
The Thousand-Legged Snake King stuck out his forked tongue, his red eyes fixed on David, seeming very interested in the evil aura emanating from him.
David grasped the Dragon Slayer Sword tightly, his spiritual power and evil energy circulating rapidly within him: “Let’s finish this quickly, lest they tell Wan Duzi.”
Before those words were even finished, the old snake had already given the order: “Go! Bring them back alive. I want them to feel what it’s like to have their hearts devoured by a thousand poisons!”
The black-robed cultivators simultaneously activated their gourds, and green poison gushed out like a fountain, gathering in the air to form a huge poison net that enveloped the three of them.
Hu Mazi prepared and made ten golden talismans.
The runes formed a golden Bagua array in the air. The poison fell on the array and made a “sizzling” sound, but could not penetrate the array.
“damage!”
Mo Chen moved as fast as lightning, his long sword turning into a beam of light, directly piercing the throats of the three black-robed cultivators.
Those people died without ever seeing how the sword fell.
