Chapter 175: Toad Swamp
When you enter the three caves that have been bifurcated and follow Hu Xuanzong's golden elixir monks, you are mostly at ease. As the saying goes, if the sky falls, a tall person will be the first to top it. Among the people in this group, Hu Xuanzong is undoubtedly the tall person.
Although the other two Jindan monks who were traveling along were a little nervous, they finally suppressed their fear from the previous cave. Moreover, they were somewhat confident about their own strength.
After walking for a while, many monks couldn't understand: "Why did you have been walking for so long and haven't seen a poisonous insect?"
The quieter the cave, the more guilty everyone felt. Only Hu Xuanzong, who was neither fast nor slow, continued to walk in front of the team. Unlike other Jindan monks, Hu Xuanzong could spy on a distance farther.
At this time, Wu Yan, who was on the ground, listened to the report of his entourage and quickly said: "Transfer the first and second squads over, prepare more flames and fuel, and establish a defensive position in the cave area."
As the special person in charge of Shuchuan Prefecture, Wu Yan knew very well that this hidden danger must be eliminated. It was rare to invite Hu Xuanzong here. If he didn't seize the opportunity to solve this time bomb, Wu Yan was really worried that the consequences would be unimaginable if it broke out in the future.
Judging from the previous game against the poisonous beast group, it is indeed a bit difficult to fight the impact of the poisonous beast group by relying solely on the special affairs branch. On the other hand, when Hu Xuanzong came, his methods of handling were indeed a bit surprising.
Unlike other monks, Hu Xuanzong also has a certain understanding of the high-tech weapons officially controlled. Generally speaking, monks are not willing to touch new weapons, and think that monks should abide by ancient etiquette and rely more on their own strength.
On the other hand, Hu Xuanzong's behavior seems a bit different. He feels a bit like "no matter white cats, black cats, if you can catch mice, you are a good cat." Even though he cooperates, Wu Yan and others seem very calm and do not just watch the show.
Since Hu Xuanzong had an explanation and asked him to set up a cordon in the cave area in advance, it must have its intention. The only thing that surprised Wu Yan was that Hu Xuanzong had a special explanation that he would not allow elite disciples of each sect to go down to the cave.
But after thinking about it, Wu Yan still said to his subordinates: "Mr. Hu's move must be to ensure that the blocking team can be enforced. It is true that those disciples of the sect are elites, but when they really need to fight, will they listen to us?
Instead of fighting each other at that time, it is better to take over this matter with full authority. At that time, Mr. Hu will restrain the Jindan monks, and we will help us to help us to better respond to emergencies that may occur at any time."
After giving this explanation, it makes sense for the subordinates to think about it. The two special brigades he summoned immediately entered the Ten Thousand Poison Cave with full arms. All the required combat equipment was also transported into the cave as soon as possible.
Seeing the busy special affairs team member, Su Luoyan also stepped forward and asked, "Is there something going on below?"
"Sorry! We are only responsible for executing orders. Please go to the command center to ask about the specific situation."
In view of this situation, Su Luoyan did not make things difficult for the soldiers on duty, and personally found Wu Yan to inquire about the situation. When he learned that everything was fine in the cave, Su Luoyan and others also proposed that they hoped to enter the cave with the team.
As a result, Wu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Su, I'm sorry! Mr. Hu has made a special explanation, not allowing any disciples below the Jindan realm to enter the cave. He even has an explanation, not allowing you to go down. So, don't make things difficult for me."
When Su Luoyan learned about this situation, she was a little angry, but she didn't have to say much, so she could only wait quietly for Hu Xuanzong to return. It was not until this moment that they truly realized that Hu Xuanzong was the real backbone for them!
On the other hand, Hu Xuanzong, who was leading the team forward at this moment, saw through his mental power that the front suddenly became widening. What made Hu Xuanzong stop was that the scene presented in the cave in front made Hu Xuanzong feel quite magical.
"Fellow Taoist, what's wrong?"
"I've found something! Fellow Taoists, please prepare for the fight. Next, the opponents presented to us will be more difficult than we imagined. This cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is no different from a small world!"
"Did the fellow Taoist see something?"
There are also Jindan monks who release their mental power to reconnaissance, because their mental cultivation is too far from Hu Xuanzong, so they naturally cannot see that Hu Xuanzong is as far away. When they continue to move forward, all the monks will stop.
Smelling the stench that drifted over, many Jindan monks said in horror: "How is this possible?"
No one could have imagined that at the end of this cave, there would be a swamp. Looking at the toad that was jumping in the swamp, the pustules on its body were bulging. You could tell at a glance that it was highly toxic, and it would be very troublesome once it was touched.
After sensing through mental power, Hu Xuanzong found that the swamp was not small, and its core position was as deep as a hundred meters. Although everyone could fly through the air, the swamp was still full of murderous intent.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, what should I do next? Will I cross it directly?"
What surprised everyone was that Hu Xuanzong quickly said: "I'm afraid it's difficult! With the cultivation of fellow Taoists, it should not be difficult to see that there are countless giant toads with great strength lurking under this swamp.
Once we fly over the sky, they will inevitably launch an attack. Once they fall into the swamp, fellow Taoists think what will happen to us? Not only are these toads highly poisonous, but even this swamp is full of toxins!”
As soon as these words were said, the monks also found it a little tricky. Instead, Hu Xuanzong looked at the place where he was and said, "My fellow Taoists, since these toads cannot come out, let's force them out and hunt them down first."
"good!"
Faced with Hu Xuanzong's suggestion, everyone also felt that it made sense. First, remove the threatening toads. After that, they will fly over this swamp and will naturally be much safer. Each chooses a good location and launches a ranged attack on the toads in the swamp.
Under the attack of various spells, the originally silent swamp land suddenly became boiling. Countless frog croaking sounded, and countless toads exploded and died. Not long after they died, their bodies melted into the swamp land.
Seeing this scene, Hu Xuanzong also frowned and said, "Can you turn into a quagmire of poison?"
The swamp that appears in front of you is actually a funnel quagmire with a narrow bottom and wide top. The difference is that the accumulated quagmire is highly poisonous. This is why it becomes a paradise for these toads and practice through the quagmire.
Once dead, the toad will turn into nutrients in the quagmire and provide new toads with cultivation resources. This cycle of "turning into spring mud to protect flowers" will eventually lead to the quagmire in this quagmire full of awesome poisons.
