Ou Yangming and Big Yellow dashed forward. Before long, they caught up to Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman.
The 2 men had been walking slowly. In particular, they even stopped and discussed for a long time after they were quite a distance away from Ou Yangming. When the young fellow caught up to them, although they were still as warm as they were, Ou Yangming somehow sensed something unordinary.
It was merely a feeling, and it appeared without any reason, but it was rather strong and real.
Ou Yangming looked calm, but he secretly became alert.
Ever since he possessed the Military Fire, his unique feeling exceeded that of ordinary people, where he was especially outstanding in foreseeing danger.
As at this moment, he vaguely sensed that after he displayed his notable combat power, particularly after he retrieved the poisonous pill and showed a power that surpa.s.sed the poisonous saber, the men's mentalities seemed to have changed subtly.
They continued to move forward without stopping. When they returned to the spot where they first encountered a swarm of insects, apart from insect carca.s.ses all over the ground, no other living being could be seen.
After the insects that spread all over the place were swept out, the place became extremely quiet. Perhaps this place would only go back to its original state after at least several years.
Far away, 2 figures were seen running over. They were Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard.
Fat Antelope lifted its head and stuck out its chest, and it was more majestic than the spirit leopard for the first time. Its eyes gleamed upon seeing Ou Yangming, and it took credit for its achievement. “I've wiped out the insects here, so they won't affect us anymore.”
Ou Yangming smiled faintly and asked, “How did you do it?”
“As long as I go close to the insects, no matter how deep they buried themselves, they'll immediately go far away,” Fat Antelope answered naturally.
The young fellow could not help but laugh. This was indeed possible when 2 species repelled one another. The insects from before did not escape because the insect king was keeping watch over them, but the situation changed entirely after it died.
“Brother Xia, the pa.s.sage here has been cleared. You can continue to lead the way.” Ou Yangming grinned.
“Okay.” Xia Zizhen chuckled. “It's our pleasure.”
He and Poisonous Saber Gentleman looked at each other, then they quickly sped up and ran forward.
Even though they were Spirit Grade powerhouses, Ou Yangming was not inferior to them at all. After running for a brief moment, he swayed and hopped on to Big Yellow.
Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard exchanged glances and were envious.
They would not give up on the opportunity to become Master Ou's mount, but they dared not express themselves when Big Yellow was present.
After half an hour, though the 2 men in front did not stop, the eyes of Ou Yangming and the spirit beasts could not help but lit up.
From a distance away, they saw a place with beautiful scenery.
Specifically, after going past a small hill, they were greeted with a calm lake, which was surrounded by a dense forest. As they overlooked the area from a high spot, they felt like their breadths of mind were opened.
“Woof…”
Big Yellow suddenly barked. It was loud and filled with joy.
Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman stopped at the same time. They turned to look in shock.
Ou Yangming laughed and explained, “Don't mind it—it's too excited about seeing a lake after walking for many days.”
Big Yellow blinked as though it was nodded in agreement. In actuality, the 2 of them were the only ones that knew it got carried away and barked because it picked up the smell of spiritual herbs.
Sure enough, as said by Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman, there were plenty of spiritual herbs in this place.
Needless to say, it would be difficult to find spiritual herbs in the ma.s.sive forest. After all, spiritual herbs could not be found everywhere, such that pill masters would also need to search closely if they were here.
Poisonous Saber Gentleman was incredibly lucky to have found a spiritual herb here, but it would be tough for him to find another one on his own.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked at each other. The young fellow's eyes were smiling as he was feeling proud.
Big Yellow's nose was the most sensitive to the smell of spiritual herbs, by which it could locate them in every nook and cranny. Having said that, this secretly must not be known by more people.
When they continued forward and were getting close to the forest, Xia Zizhen suddenly said, “Brother Ou, this is a treasure land, but a huge opportunity is needed for one to find treasures here.” He suggested after a pause, “How about we part ways for now and gather here again after a day?”
Ou Yangming smiled and replied to him “Okay, I'll follow your arrangement.”
Xia Zizhen nodded and warned, “Brother Ou, you'll be able to find spiritual herbs and poisonous pills here, but treasures are usually accompanied by dangers, so you must be careful when you look for them.”
“Thanks for your reminder, Brother Xia,” Ou Yangming uttered seriously.
After bidding their farewells, Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman entered the forest from another direction.
Fat Antelope scoffed once they were far away. “Despicable humans.”
Ou Yangming raised his eyebrows and thought, 'What is it saying?'
“Master Ou, I wasn't talking about you; I meant those 2 fellas,” Fat Antelope quickly explained after it came back to its senses. It was afraid of infuriating Ou Yangming because it did not explain it well, hence it added, “They came here before, so they must've found a treasure but failed to take it away due to a certain reason. Hmph, this time, they must've split up with you on purpose because they're scared that you'll s.n.a.t.c.h the treasure from them.”
“What's the big deal about that? I would've made the same choice if I were in their shoes but…” Ou Yangming waved his hand then grinned as he continued, “We don't know yet who will benefit more from this.”
Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard looked at each other and did not agree with him.
Xia Zizhen and Poisonous Saber Gentleman were human Spiritualists after all. Since they were doing this, they must have found something great. Besides, they had been here once, thus they knew this place better than Ou Yangming and the others did.
In terms of martial arts, Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard were not afraid at all, but they were not confident about finding treasures.
Ou Yangming looked at them and noted softly, “You don't need to go in. Wait here and see if there are unusual movements nearby.” He later stressed, “If any danger happens, go ahead and do what you need without worrying about anything else.”
Fat Antelope and the Silver Ridge Giant Leopard stared at the young fellow. They were not inexperienced as they were formidable spirit beasts that had been cultivating for years.
They vaguely understood something from Ou Yangming's words, so after exchanging glances, the spirit leopard responded, “Don't worry, I guarantee that n.o.body has set up a trap here beforehand.”
Ou Yangming chuckled, then he entered the forest with Big Yellow.
As soon as they were in the forest, Big Yellow no longer disguised itself. It twitched its nose and sneezed hard without warning.
“What is it?” Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows.
Big Yellow used its large paw to rub its nose as a human would, then he answered, “Lil' Ming, there's poison over there, and it's bad for my nose, so let's change our direction.”
Ou Yangming was moved. “No, let's go over to take a look.”
The skin on the big yellow dog's face wrinkled. It was not interested in the smell that could affect its sense of smell.
However, it did not object to the idea when Ou Yangming insisted on going there. This was because it had been partners with him for years, thus it naturally knew he would not speak without thinking.
With that, the human and the dog walked slowly in the forest. They were both Spiritualists, but they dared not venture into the place recklessly. This was because they were heavily pressured by the place, so they dared not be careless at all.
All of a sudden, Ou Yangming, who was walking in front, stopped. He shook his head as he felt a little dizzy.
Big Yellow was right—there was poison in this direction, and it was a highly-toxic poison that could affect Spiritualists.
The big yellow dog tugged at Ou Yangming and tilted its head in the opposite direction to gesture to him to leave quickly.
Ou Yangming simply smiled and reached out his palm, revealing a small poisonous pill on it. A peculiar power gushed into the poisonous pill, which instantly released a queer power. The power was a layer of invisible fluctuation, and it protected him and Big Yellow in the middle.
This was a way of prompting the poisonous pill's power, and it could only be casually released by Ou Yangming, who had deeply interacted with the pill.
Only when the layer of energy fluctuation protected Big Yellow, the fellow was relieved. It could not see it, but it could sense it. 'Lil' Ming's well-prepared indeed, so why should I worry?'
Nevertheless, Ou Yangming soon sensed an intense fluctuation around him.
There were no changes in the void, but a light green light ring appeared several meters away from them.
Ou Yangming's eyes glowed a little as he stared at the poisonous pill in his hand and pondered.
When he activated the poisonous pill's power to envelop himself and Big Yellow, with the layer of protection as the center, endless poisonous gas gushed toward them.
Even so, upon reaching the protection's periphery, the poisonous gas simply gushed inside and returned to the poisonous pill, causing the pill to become more mysterious and powerful.
As more poisonous gas acc.u.mulated, the colorless and odorless object slowly revealed its color and appeared differently.
Ou Yanging was secretly moved. They were only at the forest's periphery, but there was already such an exaggerated effect. What strange things could happen if they found poisonous pills?
At this point, even he looked forward to it eagerly.
