Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 315

Chapter 315 Green Origin Fruit
Ye Feng stood on a large tree and looked at the corroded swamp in front of him, his eyes revealing a solemn expression.

This kind of swamp was extremely powerful. If humans approached, once they absorbed corrosive energy, they would corrode their bodies. Even if they had a poison avoidance pill, they would not be able to save them. It was extremely powerful. Unless they could reach the Immortal Martial Realm and their fleshly bodies were not damaged, they would barely be able to withstand it.

The formation of a corrosive swamp required countless years, including the bones of many demonic beasts, human corpses, and various poisons.

Once a swamp was formed, it would emit poisonous gas. This poisonous gas was called miasma poison. Once ingested, it would also be extremely deadly. Even if it could not rot immediately, it could slowly corrode the inner palace of humans and eventually die.

Ye Feng frowned slightly. Even he was not confident that he could cross this erosive swamp. Let alone them, even if they could cross the erosive swamp, who dared to guarantee that they would not ingest some miasma poison?

Without hesitation, Ye Feng turned around and rushed back. After a dozen breaths, Ye Feng returned to his original location. Everyone saw Ye Feng return safely and surrounded him.

“Brother Ye, is there any danger ahead?”

Jin Buhuang asked.

Ye Feng recounted what he had encountered just now. Everyone took a deep breath. The corroded swamp was extremely evil. No one dared to take risks easily. If they were careless, they would die.

“Everyone, what do you think? If we can’t, we’ll give up. Compared to life, everyone knows which is more important.”

Luo Yifeng was still a little restless and had a big heart to challenge, but for the sake of everyone’s safety, he still wished to ask everyone’s opinions.

No one said anything. The temptation of spirit medicines was still very great. Especially since the Pill Lake Sect had already disappeared for thousands of years, it was estimated that the spirit medicines in the herb garden had at least several thousand years of ingredients. It was impossible for even a Heaven Grade spirit medicine to appear. If one could consume a Heaven Grade spirit medicine for more than a thousand years, it would be able to directly ascend a realm. The temptation was extremely great.

“I remember there was a record in the ancient books that everything is mutually exclusive. Since it can form a corrosive swamp, there must be a treasure that can restrain the corrosive energy around it. As long as we find a treasure that can restrain the corrosive energy, we will be able to safely pass through the corrosive swamp!”

Jin Buhuang pondered for a moment and said slowly.

“That’s right, the Monastery Master once said this to me. Everything is mutually exclusive. As long as there is a poisonous place, there will be an accompanying antidote.”

Leng Xue agreed, and the Monastery Master had also said this back then.

“Alright, let’s go over and see if we can find something that can restrain the corrosive energy. If we do, we’ll find a way to get over it. If we can’t find it, we’ll just evacuate and stop staying. What do you say?”

Ye Feng stood out and began to dominate his family. After all, he was the strongest. Everyone began to listen to Ye Feng. Yue Wuhen said less, but he could tell that he was anxious. No one wanted to give up on such a good thing.

“Just do as Brother Ye says. If there is no detoxification or anything else, it’s not too late for us to leave!”

Everyone agreed. The group slowed down and slowly moved forward. They carefully searched along the way to see if they could find anything that could restrain the corrosive energy.

After a cup of tea, everyone appeared in front of the erosive swamp not far away. It was roughly ten feet away. If they moved forward, they would be easily corroded by the erosive gas.

The Erosive Swamp was about a hundred meters long. If one were to fly by air, they would be able to barely make it over, provided nothing happened in the middle.

Strange white bubbles emerged from the swamp, emitting a foul stench. The three girls had already covered their noses. They liked to be clean and didn’t want to get close to them. They stood far away.

“Brother Ye, these white bubbles are called corrosive clouds. These white fog came from inside. Are you very puzzled as to why there are still trees around the swamp that can survive?”

Jin Buhuang walked to Ye Feng and slowly said to Ye Feng.

“That’s right. Since plants can survive, why can’t humans approach them?”

Just now, Ye Feng had discovered this problem.

“You are confused by the appearance. These plants have long been assimilated by the corrosive energy. If we dare to come into contact with those plants in front of us, we will definitely be infected by the miasma poison. If you look closely, you can see the miasma poison.”

Jin did not change to Ye Feng to explain.

“Oh!”

Ye Feng used his divine sense to slowly probe forward. Sure enough, there was a faint substance left in the air, like green floating objects. This substance should be miasma poison. After inhaling it, it could also be fatal.

“Everyone, split up and search. You can’t step into the swamp. Hold your breath as much as you can. Don’t take a big breath. See if there are any strange plants. Perhaps they are treasures that can restrain the corrosive aura!”

Jin Buhuan said at this time, and everyone began to separate, searching everywhere.

“Brother Ye, come and see what it is!”

Yu Xiu was on the left side. At this time, she let out a cry of alarm. Everyone flew over at the same time and followed Yu Xiu’s fingers.

“That’s right, it is it. As long as we swallow it, we will be able to produce antibodies to the corrosive energy, and we will be able to safely pass through it.”

Jin Bu Huang exclaimed excitedly as he looked at a green tree in the middle of the swamp.

Unfortunately, the others did not show any excitement. Instead, they revealed helpless expressions. Jin Buhuang quickly realized the problem.

In the middle of the swamp, there was a small piece of land. This land was only a meter square in size. A small tree more than a meter tall grew in this narrow area. It was full of fruits and emitted a faint green light.

“This is called the Green Origin Fruit. It is precisely the bane of the corrosive energy. The reason why it was formed was also because it was nourished by the corrosive energy. It only grew one and complemented each other.”

Kim didn’t explain it to everyone.

“But how can we get it? It grows in the middle of the erosive swamp. If we forcefully cross it, we will definitely encounter the erosion of the poisonous gas. Before we can pick it, we will be poisoned to death by the erosive gas.”

Yu Xiu said what everyone thought in their hearts. If they forcefully went up to pick it, they would have to cross half of the erosive swamp. Perhaps, before they could arrive, they would be corroded by the corrosive aura.

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to take the risk.

“Let me give it a try. Since we’re here, how can we give up!”

Ye Feng stood out and intended to give it a try.

“Big Brother Ye, you can’t. This corrosive energy is extremely evil. Once ingested, even Immortal Daluo will not be able to save you.”

Qi Ruomei stopped Ye Feng and did not want Ye Feng to take risks.

“That’s right, Brother Ye. No way, let’s give up!”

At this moment, Jin Buhuan gave up on his own initiative, not wanting anyone to lose here.

“Don’t worry, I just calculated that it will take about ten breaths to reach the middle of the swamp. In addition to picking fruits, it will take thirty breaths to go back and forth. If I can close my facial features and pores within thirty breaths, I should have a great chance of picking the Green Origin Fruit.”

Just now, Ye Feng was calculating that he should be able to last for thirty breaths of time.

If there was no poisonous gas, even if Ye Feng closed his facial features, he could still breathe by relying on his pores. But now, it was different. Even his pores had to be closed. Once he absorbed the corrosive gas, his body would be corroded.

“Still not. This is your theoretical calculation. Once any danger arises, the gains will outweigh the losses. I do not recommend that you do so.”

Luo Yifeng also stopped Ye Feng. He didn’t want Ye Feng to take risks. Although the spirit medicine was good, he still had to have the life to get it.

“Don’t try to persuade me. I’ve already made up my mind. If I don’t have a 70% chance, I wouldn’t have said that.”

Just now, Ye Feng had only estimated that he had given himself four to five breaths of time to avoid encountering unexpected situations.

Seeing Ye Feng being so solemn, everyone sighed. They knew that once Ye Feng made a decision, it would be difficult to change. They could only remain silent.

“Senior Brother Ye, this is a poison avoidance pill that I personally refined. Although it can’t neutralize the corrosive energy, it can still withstand a few breaths of time. If there is poison in your mouth, swallow it immediately.”

Leng Xue walked over and took out a dark green pill and handed it to Ye Feng.

“Heart Cleansing Pill!”

Everyone recognized it. This pill could cure all poisons. If it was auctioned outside, it could sell for at least one million True Spirit Pills. Leng Xue said that she would take it out immediately. She probably didn’t want anything to happen to Ye Feng.

“You should keep such a precious pill. I’ll be fine.”

Ye Feng confiscated it. He estimated that Leng Xue would not be willing to take it out. This pill was kept for life and would not be taken out easily. Refining a Heart Cleansing Pill required a large amount of spirit medicines, and the chances of success were extremely low.

“I’ll let you take it. Compared to your life, this pill is simply worthless!”

Leng Xue forcefully stuffed it into Ye Feng’s hand, not giving Ye Feng the chance to refuse.

“Then I’ll thank Senior Sister Leng!”

Since Leng Xue insisted on giving the Heart Cleansing Pill to him, Ye Feng could not let her down. With the Heart Cleansing Pill, Ye Feng had another chance to save his life.

“You guys retreat to the side. If anything happens to me, leave immediately. Don’t stay or save me.”

Ye Feng said solemnly.

“Big Brother Ye …”

Qi Ruomei choked up a little. It was as if life and death were parting ways. Both of her eyes were red. Yu Xiu wanted to say something, but when she saw Qi Ruomei nestling beside Ye Feng, she stopped.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine!”

Ye Feng patted Qi Ruomei’s shoulder gently and comforted her.

“You must be careful. Don’t try to be brave. If you can’t, we’ll leave. We don’t want any spirit medicines.”

In Qi Ruomei’s eyes, nothing was as precious as Ye Feng.

“Alright, all of you back off!”

Ye Feng pushed Qi Ruomei away, and a faint aura appeared on his body. Ye Feng intended to use the Angel Wings, which would greatly increase his flying speed. It was also to save True Essence in order to deal with unexpected matters.

Chi!

Ye Feng flew up, and a pair of pure white wings behind him spread out in the wind. With a shake, they flew towards the center of the erosive swamp.

Apart from Qi Ruomei’s expression, everyone else looked at each other. They did not expect Ye Feng to have this secret.

Angel’s Wings were as white as clouds, emitting an ethereal aura. In just a few breaths of time, Ye Feng had flown over a distance of ten zhang, almost approaching the corroded swamp.
