Hu Qiu smiled and grabbed my hand, then put this Liujia Talisman into my hand.
"There are many dangers in entering the mountain this time. You must get the Phoenix Flower no matter what."
I nodded quickly, and then thought of another question, so I asked Hu Qiu: "How many talismans did the old lady give you in total?"
"Uh...what happened to me?"
Hu Qiu's expression seemed natural, but I could tell that she was lying. Based on my understanding of Hu Qiu, I instantly judged that he had just this one in his hand.
Thinking of this, I put this talisman into Hu Qiu's hand again.
"I no longer need this thing, you should keep it for self-defense."
"But……"
Before Hu Qiu finished speaking, I stretched out my hand to interrupt her, "Don't worry, I'm very powerful now, and don't we all have weapons in our hands? You don't have to worry about me. Besides, you have this thing in your hands."
I’m relieved too.”
Hu Qiu thought for a while and finally nodded without refusing.
After this moderate episode, the team began to move forward normally. This time I chose to walk at the back of the team, while Hu Zi was still leading the team, so that I could take care of both ends. Once something abnormal happened in the team,
It can never escape my eyes.
Zhou Qingyang and the little devil are still hanging far behind our team, about a hundred meters away. Naturally, their purpose is to make us act as pawns.
I just turned a blind eye to this. Anyway, there is still a long way to go from the Phoenix Ruins. If you want to follow, just let them follow!
About 10 minutes later, the little thing flew back and quietly got into my body.
A cold smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. Could it be that I succeeded?
I subconsciously turned my head and took a look, only to find that there seemed to be nothing unusual about the bodyguard leader, who was still walking calmly in the team. This made me immediately a little annoyed, and I immediately communicated with the little thing in my mind.
However, what I didn't expect was that the little guy had indeed solved the problem, but it was just poison. What I didn't expect even more was that the poison he poisoned turned out to be red dragon sand.
This surprised me inexplicably, but I soon understood that the little thing had eaten the red dragon's head and could replicate its poison.
The most incredible thing to me is that the little thing can not only copy the poison of the red dragon, but can even copy many of the animal toxins it eats in its stomach.
How come scorpions, centipedes, toads, geckos...
This is a bit awesome!
I've known for a long time that the Gu is powerful, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Judging from the ability shown by the little thing, it has definitely surpassed the Golden Silkworm Gu, even far beyond it.
And all these changes did not occur after he ate the blood.
The powerful effect of non-blood transformation is far beyond my expectation. It seems that it is not impossible for this thing to lively dead human flesh and white bones.
The more I thought about it, the more incredible it became that it would not turn into blood. I even had the idea of eating this thing.
This is the second time I have had this idea.
However, this dangerous idea was extinguished by me in just a moment. I will never take risks unless I am 100% sure, unless I am about to die.
Having said that, the bodyguard leader has been hit by red dragon sand and is obviously no different from death. As long as he dares to touch cold water, he will immediately bleed to death. I just need to wait patiently.
This process was a bit long, until more than two hours later, when the team stopped to rest, a shrill scream and bursts of exclamations suddenly came from behind, attracting the attention of all of us.
Zhou Qingyang's team was already in chaos. The bodyguard leader failed to escape the fate of death in the end. When I saw him, his body was rapidly festering and shrinking. It was obvious that he had been exposed to raw water.
In just half a minute, he, a large living person, turned into blood bit by bit under the shocked eyes of pairs of people.
Even though I was far away, I still felt deeply shocked, not to mention the other people in their team. I dare say that this was definitely their biggest nightmare in their lives.
Instantly, everyone was enveloped in an inexplicable panic, including our team.
My eyes swept over everyone's face, carefully observing the expressions on their faces. There was a deep shock on everyone's face.
When I looked at Zhong Lan, her eyes were also full of surprise, and Long Shuiyao beside him was so frightened that he covered his mouth.
I looked at everyone in the Chen family again, and their expressions were a little different. After all, they had seen this scene before, so in addition to shock, there was more anger and vigilance in their eyes.
Several people immediately protected the old lady and watched her carefully for four weeks.
Obviously, the reappearance of the red dragon sand has deeply stimulated their nerves, but no one would have thought that the person who caused such panic was standing in the middle of their team, silently observing all this.
Suddenly, as if he felt something, Mr. Liu turned his head and looked at me, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
But the moment he turned his head, I had already withdrew my gaze, pretending to be surprised and looking at Zhou Qingyang.
After experiencing this accident, no one dared to rest here anymore and could only quickly hit the road again.
But this time, Zhou Qingyang's team began to be covered by a dark cloud.
But what I didn't expect was that the rest of the trip went surprisingly smoothly, and there were no unexpected incidents during the whole process.
However, because Mrs. Chen's legs and feet were not good, and the mountain roads were difficult to travel, the days were short and the nights were long, so we didn't go very fast. It took nearly a full day to cover dozens of miles of mountain roads, until late in the evening.
Only then did we climb the last hill.
The little mute was in front of me, pointing to a place shrouded in mist in the distance, and kept talking.
I followed his gaze, and about two or three kilometers away from us, an ancient and dilapidated city appeared in our sights.
Is this the Phoenix ruins?
I immediately became energetic.
At first glance, the Phoenix ruins are much larger than I imagined. According to my visual inspection, they should be the size of an ordinary county town today!
Although there are ruins everywhere, the former glory can still be vaguely seen.
But for some reason, the entire ancient city of Phoenix was shrouded in thick fog.
These fogs are very low, only about two feet high, and cover most of the buildings, preventing us from getting a full view of them.
Occasionally, there are a few huge stone sculptures or taller buildings exposed outside the fog, revealing a mysterious atmosphere.
My eyes swept across the city, but I couldn't find the legendary thousand-year-old phoenix tree, which was once said to be the place where the phoenix bird settled.
Just when I was about to retract my gaze, I suddenly twisted my eyes and stared at a tall building in the ruins.
It was a place similar to a lookout, made entirely of stones. At the top, a black figure stood resolutely.
I recognized this person at a glance, it was Mr. Hei who disappeared mysteriously before.
