Chapter 12

The piranha school was attracted by the blood, rushing over crazily, biting Tang Yun's palm.

A golden light flashed in Tang Yun's eyes, his right index and middle fingers joined together, pointing out quickly!

"Coagulate Blood Seal Throat!"

Two strands of True Qi, as thin as cow hair, shot accurately into the gills of the piranhas.

"Puff, puff, puff..."

A series of light sounds, the piranhas hit in the gills died one after another, their corpses sinking into the swamp.

The number of piranhas was too large, and Tang Yun's right arm was numb, simply unable to support for too long.

Must leave here as soon as possible!

Tang Yun's eyes swept, and he saw a hundred-year-old rotten wood exposed in the swamp not far away.

His heart moved, and he detonated the remaining gunpowder.

"Boom!"

The air wave generated by the explosion pushed Tang Yun's body toward the rotten wood.

He borrowed this reaction force, leaped up fiercely, and landed on the rotten wood.

"Phew..." Tang Yun let out a long breath, finally safe for the time being.

The swamp underwent another mutation!

Those piranha corpses that sank into the swamp actually began to melt, the black mud rolled, and some peculiar symbols gradually emerged.

Tang Yun looked closely, and these symbols were Miaojiang script!

He reached out and touched the rotten wood, and a familiar memory surged into his heart.

That was his mother's memory!

He saw the scene of his mother once treating Gu poison patients here...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Yun's mind, and he finally understood the hidden chapter in the "Medicine King Scripture"—"Ten Thousand Poisons Immunity"!

A golden True Qi surged out of his body, forming a protective film on his body surface.

The Miaojiang script in the swamp also stopped rolling, gradually forming a complete sentence:

"Successor of the Medicine King, receive my inheritance."

Lin Xiyue, standing outside the altar, saw the golden light erupting in the swamp and muttered to herself: "He really... is not an ordinary person..."

The Gu King, observing from the dark, saw this scene, his pupils shrinking violently: "This kid can actually stay awake under the triple layer miasma?"

And that largest piranha, before dying, actually let out a human-language wail: "Medicine King bloodline... spare me..."

Tang Yun felt a burst of dizziness, the golden True Qi of Ten Thousand Poisons Immunity circulating around him, dispelling the residual poisonous mist.

He looked down and found that his right hand, which had been bitten bloody by the piranhas, was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a few shallow scars.

He touched his hair and actually found a few strands of white hair mixed in.

The Medicine King inheritance was indeed domineering; although it saved his life, it also consumed a lot of his vitality. It seems this inheritance cannot be used casually.

The strange phenomena in the swamp gradually subsided, and those Miaojiang characters disappeared, leaving only the calm water surface.

"Tang Yun, are you okay?" Lin Xiyue's voice carried a trace of trembling, and she ran to Tang Yun's side quickly, carefully checking his injuries.

"I'm fine." Tang Yun squeezed out a smile, signaling her not to worry.

"Just now... what exactly happened?" Lin Xiyue pointed to the calm swamp, her face full of disbelief, "Those piranhas, and those characters..."

Tang Yun didn't explain immediately, but looked at the rotten wood; he always felt that this rotten wood was not simple. He stepped on the rotten wood cautiously, and the rotten wood made a "creaking" sound.

"Careful!" Lin Xiyue reminded nervously.

Tang Yun nodded, he tapped the rotten wood lightly with his hand, the inside of the rotten wood was empty! His heart moved, he drew his dagger and stabbed fiercely into the rotten wood!

With a "crack," the rotten wood split open, a fishy smell rushed toward him, and immediately after, countless black poisonous spiders surged out from inside, rushing toward Tang Yun and Lin Xiyue!

"Damn it!" Tang Yun cursed, this rotten wood actually hid a poisonous spider nest! He hurriedly waved his dagger, beheading the approaching poisonous spiders.

Lin Xiyue was also scared pale, she hurriedly retreated, avoiding the attack of the poisonous spiders.

"These poisonous spiders are highly poisonous, be careful!" Tang Yun reminded.

The two stood back to back, resisting the attack of the poisonous spiders. Tang Yun's right arm was still a bit numb, and his movements were inconvenient.

"Tang Yun, where is your antidote?" Lin Xiyue asked anxiously.

Tang Yun's face sank; he just remembered that when he solved the swamp puzzle, he had used up all the antidote pills!

"Damn it!" Tang Yun cursed in a low voice, this was big trouble.

Just then, a memory fragment of his mother suddenly flashed in Tang Yun's mind.

He looked around and found several familiar herbs at the edge of the swamp.

"Xiyue, help me cover!" Tang Yun said to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue nodded, she waved the long whip in her hand, beating back the approaching poisonous spiders.

Tang Yun took the opportunity to run to the edge of the swamp, quickly picked a few herbs, and then returned to Lin Xiyue's side.

"Chew these herbs and apply them to the wounds!" Tang Yun handed the herbs to Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue was a bit confused, but still did as told. Sure enough, after the herbs were applied to the wounds, the poison of the poisonous spiders was actually slowly resolved.

"Effective!" Lin Xiyue called out with joy.

Tang Yun also breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly applied the herbs to himself, and then continued to behead the poisonous spiders.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the two, the poisonous spiders were wiped out.

"Phew..." Tang Yun let out a long breath, finally escaping a disaster.

"Tang Yun, who exactly are you?" Lin Xiyue looked at Tang Yun.

Tang Yun smiled bitterly, how should he explain all this? He couldn't tell her that he was the successor of the Medicine King, right?

"I..." Tang Yun just wanted to open his mouth, suddenly, he felt a burst of severe headache, and his mother's memory fragments surged into his mind again.

He saw the scene of his mother being bitten to death by a huge yellow dog.

"Ah!" Tang Yun couldn't help but let out a scream, he held his head and fell to the ground in pain.

"Tang Yun! What's wrong with you?" Lin Xiyue exclaimed, hurriedly supporting Tang Yun.

Tang Yun's vision was blurry, he was in a huge cage, surrounded by cold bronze walls, the walls covered with bite-like patterns, and seven skeletons of children embedded in the ground, each skeleton holding a different animal eye in its mouth...

The wall cracked open with a bang, and three hundred bronze puppets stepped out with heavy steps, their rusty metal bodies reflecting a cold light. Leading them was a huge yellow dog puppet, the bronze fangs flashing with cold light, exactly that beast that bit his mother to death!

"Beast!" Tang Yun gritted his teeth, waving his dagger and rushing up.

Lin Xiyue saw this and followed closely, the long whip dancing like a spirit snake, whipping several puppets trying to sneak attack away.

Tang Yun performed the "Heavenly Gang Step," his figure shuttling through the puppet group like a ghost. However, the movements of these puppets were strangely synchronized with his, as if they could predict his next move.

"What's going on?" Tang Yun was shocked, and before he could react, his left arm was torn open by a wolf-shaped puppet with three deep wounds that reached the bone.
