567 Chapter 567 “Blood Grass“
"See?? Even those beasts run away!" Long Ao Zhen, as one of those beasts, also pinched his nose as he backed off again, unable to endure the strong smell assaulting his nose.
Unknown to Li Shi Ying, the simple durian she discovered actually created commotion for others. The beasts which ran away from her place, somehow created a beast tide that almost killed every participant camping in the forest!
"Ugh fine, I’ll eat this fast and throw the shell away." Li Shi Ying grumbled as she finished off the durian she was holding before picking another one. The fruit inside was a lot, so having to finish it off alone, Li Shi Ying almost puked because of it.
15 minutes later...
"Gah! I’m so full!" Li Shi Ying threw away the durian shell far away from their place, as not to make another commotion. She sat down under the tree next to Long Ao Zhen’s place while stroking her bulged belly.
She is so full eating the whole durian just by herself!
"Fuhhh, good good, but now I can’t kiss you, your mouth stinks of the durian smell." Long Ao Zhen sat beside Li Shi Ying, but he didn’t continue his immoral act before thanks to the durian. He already lost the mood.
"Who wants to kiss again after you did THAT?" Li Shi Ying slapped Long Ao Zhen’s head as she sulked. This man really is brazen, give an inch, taking miles!
"I’m back~ wait, what happened?" Just when Li Shi Ying was sulking, Shu Chen went back from gathering dry wood only to see no beasts around their place.
He would occasionally encounter one or two beasts around, but now it was so silent! What happened? Is this because of the ’earthquake’ he felt earlier? Or was that beast tide making all of the beasts around this place run away?
"It’s the durian smell driving away all the beasts around this area." Long Ao Zhen explained to Shu Chen what happened before he set up the campfire, feeling awkward when Li Shi Ying was sulking.
Okay, now he made another mistake by not being patient. Oh God, don’t let Li Shi Ying hate him please!! 😫
The next morning....
"So the sixth item we need to find today...let’s see." Li Shi Ying looked at the treasure list to find the sixth item they needed to get.
Li Shi Ying and the others had woken up early, so they could finish their mission soon and rest peacefully later. Of course, last night, even though Li Shi Ying was sulking, she still slept next to Long Ao Zhen while the man cuddled her to give warmth.
Even though it was summer, a night inside a rainforest was very cold. Any warmth would be precious for those who slept there.
"Hm? It’s a grass?" Li Shi Ying tilted her head in confusion at seeing the item they needed next was grass. The name was of course blood grass since the grass color was red like blood, but Li Shi Ying had never heard of grass like this.
As she thought, these items they collected seemed to be ingredients to make something!
"Blood grass?! That grass only grows in a deep poisonous valley. The grass itself can’t grow without poison, so this grass only grows in a place with high toxicity." Shu Chen’s face went pale when Li Shi Ying mentioned about blood grass.
As an alchemist, of course he knew about this blood grass, but even his parents warned him not to go find blood grass by himself...usually they let other stronger cultivators go there.
Why? Because the place where the grass grows was high in toxicity...it was deadly! Without a high level of cultivation to protect one’s body or using a certain pill, no one could possibly come back alive.
Is this really a tournament?! How could a bunch of students be given this task?? Or is this a test to challenge their limits? Maybe it was designed so the students would give up for the sake of their own good.
"What do we do?" Li Shi Ying took a glance at Long Ao Zhen as she spoke. Actually, they could go there by themselves since Long Ao Zhen’s cultivation level was high while her, she had the butterfly.
It can detoxify many poisons for her!
"Let’s go to the valley first." Long Ao Zhen didn’t look as scared as Shu Chen. In fact, he looked relaxed as he guided the way, making Shu Chen’s soul almost flew away from his body.
"Really? We’re going there? Won’t we die??" Shu Chen was reluctant to go, but he still followed Long Ao Zhen, heading to the most deserted place of the island. The poisonous valley.
"No we won’t die, trust me." Li Shi Ying also didn’t seem nervous. Just like Long Ao Zhen, she was acting normal. She had Qi Tou on her side, master of every poison, so why would she be afraid?
The mountain where Qi Tou lived before, she bet was more toxic than the valley they were about to visit.
Poisonous valley.
"Halt. No one can enter without a 5-man team." Just when Li Shi Ying and the others arrived, a guard appeared out of nowhere to block their way.
...huh? What kind of rule was this??
