The mountain forest is calm, the moonlight is bright, and the outline of the mountains is visible in the thick foggy night.
Is there any potential danger hidden behind such calmness?
Will the ninja sect from Souyama appear?
Bai Song didn't know.
There was no sleepiness tonight, Bai Song was thinking about the way forward.
Liu'er was lying quietly not far from Bai Song, her small body huddled up and trembling slightly from time to time.
Bai Song walked over: "Is it cold?"
Liu'er didn't answer and curled up even more.
The infuriating energy in his body made Bai Song less aware of the temperature. It was far colder tonight than he imagined.
Watching, Bai Song took off his coat and put it on Liu'er.
But when he just put it on, Liu'er suddenly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
Bai Song's heart tightened and he immediately asked: "What's wrong? Someone is here?"
Liu'er stood up, looked in one direction, and shook his head.
"No one?" Bai Song was a little surprised. Since there was no one else, Liu'er asked why with such an expression.
Before Bai Song could ask, Liu'er walked towards the darkness: "I want to confirm something."
"Confirm what?"
"The Gu insects released before seemed to have encountered something, and the feedback they gave was very strange."
Bai Song didn't understand. He knew that the bug he had released earlier had encountered something, so he followed Liu'er.
Not only can Miaojiang Gu be used to invade the human body, it is also very useful as a hidden whistle in the dark.
The range of perception of Gu insects is far beyond that of human beings.
As long as people from the Ninja Sect appear around, Gu Chong can know in advance whether the opponent is in heaven or on earth.
Liu'er stood under a tree, squatted down and put his hands among a pile of dead leaves. He frowned for a moment, then stood up with a solemn expression: "My poison seems to be poisoned..."
"..." Bai Song was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Gu insects can also be poisoned?"
Liu'er didn't answer. She had never encountered such a situation before. Even if she read through the books on Miao Gu techniques, there was no such situation.
She threw away the dead leaves, and there was an unbloomed mushroom on the surface of the soil.
There was a drop of very crystal clear liquid hanging on the corner of the mushroom, but it did not fall off.
This mushroom is very strange. It has colorful patterns, as if a rainbow has been painted on it with watercolors.
Bai Song focused on the water drop and asked, "Is this the Gu insect?"
"Um."
"It doesn't look any different."
"It moves very slowly and doesn't seem to listen to my call."
"Move slowly..."
Bai Song realized something and focused on the mushrooms: "You mean the mushrooms make the Gu insects weird?"
Liu'er didn't say anything and gently put the Gu insect into the palm of his hand.
At this time, the Gu insect seemed to feel the master's aura, and slowly opened a bloody opening in Liu'er's palm, and entered Liu'er's blood under Bai Song's gaze.
Bai Song was dumbfounded and thought this was too amazing.
Bai Song marveled at the way Gu insects survived, but he didn't know what the problem was.
Liu'er frowned even more tightly because she knew very well that under normal circumstances, the integration of Gu insects into the body would be a very fast process and would not be as slow as before.
"This mushroom may be the secret to Hui Meng Dan."
Liu'er's mind changed and he said something that shocked Bai Song.
"The state of the Gu worm is almost the same as that of the controlled people, and the Gu worm is just because of contact with this mushroom. Could it be..."
Bai Song felt nervous and hurriedly squatted on the ground to look at the colorful mushroom carefully.
Bai Song understood what Liu'er meant. If the Gu worms were in the same condition as those who had taken Huimeng Dan, then this mushroom must be related to Huimeng Dan, and might be the key component of Huimeng Dan.
There are too many unknown things in the world, and many animals and plants have disappeared over time in the long river of history.
When the Bai Song Dynasty traveled through thousands of years, they would inevitably encounter many things that would not exist after a thousand years.
It’s not surprising to see such colorful mushrooms appearing in front of you.
It's just unclear whether it has the ability to steal people's souls.
As a doctor, Bai Song knew very well what the discovery of this thing represented. He suppressed his excitement and reached out to pick the mushroom.
Liu'er hurriedly grabbed Bai Song's hand: "Sir, it's better not to touch it randomly. After all, the Gu insect will develop strange symptoms after just a little contact with it. What if..."
Bai Song also hesitated, but then he dug deep into the soil, mixed it with soil, and held the colorful mushrooms in his hands.
"The hope of saving Xiaokui may be pinned on this kind of mushroom."
Bai Song said thoughtfully.
Seeing this kind of mushroom, Bai Song suddenly understood why Li Chunfeng lived in seclusion in such a place where there was no mountain or water. Perhaps it was because there were five kinds of mushrooms on this mountain.
Perhaps this mushroom contains some kind of neurotoxin that can paralyze people's minds, causing them to become slow and dementia.
But how could such toxicity be regarded as longevity by Li Chunfeng?
Thinking about it, Bai Song felt the need to understand more deeply.
In this era, there are not so many medical instruments. If you want to know the toxins contained in colorful mushrooms, you may have to try them yourself.
This kind of thought only flashed through his mind. Thinking of those people before him, Bai Song felt that it was too dangerous to try, so he suppressed his inner thoughts and asked Liu'er: "Is there any other similar people around here?"
Mushrooms?”
"You can use more Gu insects to spread out and search for them."
Liu'er answered, then squatted down and released more Gu insects.
Colorful mushrooms are very rare. Under the guidance of the Gu worm, the two of them walked a long way before finding the second one.
Just as Bai Song was about to pick off the second colorful mushroom, Liu'er suddenly reminded: "Sir, hide quickly, there are people coming this way, and there are quite a few of them."
Bai Song didn't dare to neglect, so he left the mushroom alone and ran away with Liu'er to hide in a more private place.
The mountain is a hill, but the number of ninjas is limited, so the two of them finally escaped capture.
There was a cave on the edge of the cliff, and the two of them waited in the cave until dawn.
Seeing the dawn of dawn, Bai Song also made a decision: "I want to try the poison."
"Young master, you can't do this nonsense!" Liu'er was very surprised when he heard this.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of caution. With the thick fog and the smoke from the fire, no one will notice it. If I cook the mushrooms until they are half-cooked and reduce their toxicity, I can survive it."
Bai Song said, this was the plan he had been thinking about all night.
Although there are still great risks, it is still the next best option.
The situation is urgent now. If we don't find a way to detoxify, there is no way to break the situation. Bai Song can only take a gamble.
Liu'er had a worried look on his face, but he didn't refute and went to collect dry firewood honestly.
After a while, a wisp of green smoke floated out of the cave and mixed into the thick morning fog.
Just as Bai Song was looking for a vessel to boil water, Liu'er suddenly shouted: "Sir, why did the mushroom change color!"
