Chapter 1024

~12 min read 2,370 words

Heaven gave them talents, and naturally gave this world more dangers. In these desolate places, the probability of encountering monsters whose abilities exceed their current abilities is also greater. Although he didn't think there would be anything in this place that he couldn't deal with, he didn't rule out the possibility.

If a king-level or god-level guy suddenly appeared, he would have to use all his skills, but other than that, he basically didn't need to use too much strength; some basic moves could solve those things.

Just as he was thinking, some wild wolves rushed out from the surroundings.

Gu Yan's talent was healing after all, and the weakness in attack power was unavoidable. Fortunately, the level of the wild wolves was not high. Even if it was pure meat, he could directly crash this thing to death.

Regarding this, Zong Shu couldn't bear to watch and couldn't help but ask Gu Yan: "Just these things, and you still want us to come over and help? You wouldn't be trying to pit us, would you?"

"You just follow me." Gu Yan didn't want to explain too much.

He seemed very familiar with this place. Fortunately, the surrounding environment was not bad, so Chen Ang just treated it as relaxing and looking at the scenery. It's just that he didn't expect that the monsters around here had indeed become much stronger, and this route gradually didn't look like it was in the mountains, but like it was in a larger jungle or something.

"Did you guys notice that the trees nearby have grown a few circles bigger? What kind of place is this? Could it be that we won't be able to go back later?" Zong Shu finally chickened out.

Gu Yan just said indifferently: "I've already given you all the medicine. If something really happens, it's the same to boil it for you to drink in this place."

"That's not what I meant..." Zong Shu felt like he was talking to a brick wall, and also felt that he seemed to have entered a misunderstanding.

"No, aren't you just asking Chen Ang for help? Why do I and Qing Mei have to follow? And we don't know if those people in the villa have followed."

"Even if they followed, they couldn't deal with the monsters in the depths, and they would turn back on their own." Gu Yan silently treated the three of them, and continued, "As for why you guys have to come, I don't know either, but you are Chen Ang's companions, so it's normal to come along. I naturally shouldn't ask too much."

The meaning of this was already very obvious, which was: you wanted to come along yourself, what does it have to do with me?

Gu Yan's temper made Chen Ang feel amused, and the whole atmosphere became much more relaxed. With Chen Ang opening the way, there were no difficulties along the way.

So much so that those monsters that were originally actively attacking simply retreated after seeing Chen Ang, which was a scene none of these people had ever seen.

"How strong is your ability?" Gu Yan couldn't help but ask.

To tell the truth, he had guessed early on that Chen Ang could easily deal with these monsters, but he never expected that the fear these monsters had for him would reach this point.

I'm afraid that if it were in the monster world, Chen Ang would also be the kind of character who could claim to be king and hegemon.

Fortunately, there was nothing like that nearby, otherwise he would really like to see Chen Ang confront them.

Regarding Gu Yan's question, Chen Ang's answer was even more perfunctory.

"Just a little bit stronger than them. I guess there won't be any problems fighting all the way through."

After all, if they knew that if he used his full strength, there would be few opponents in this world, they didn't know how scared they would be.

It would be better to keep a low profile.

Thinking of this, Chen Ang's killing intent grew severe. The two tiger cubs clearly sensed Chen Ang's thoughts; the blood curse on their heads manifested, and an inexplicable power actually fed back directly into Chen Ang's body.

And inviting such a person to help was definitely super value for him. Since he had taken advantage, he shouldn't ask too much, lest it be counterproductive. When the time came, if the other party cleaned him up, wouldn't it be like fighting these small monsters?

And the truth he understood, Zong Shu might not necessarily understand. Hearing what Chen Ang said, he praised Chen Ang exaggeratedly.

"This is called just a little bit stronger than the monsters here? You didn't see him deal with those nether creatures last time. Those things are much harder to deal with than these monsters that exist in reality for us. But our Brother Chen Ang, even when facing that kind of thing, was like cutting vegetables, killing them all."

"My worship for him can't even be described as prostrating. And the boss-level guy that came out at the end, he also killed him with one blow. I didn't see him use any extra moves."

If he was praised by someone slightly more powerful, Chen Ang might be happy, but being said so by a few small fries, Chen Ang just wanted to laugh.

However, the pity is that even if he is strong, it is only one-sided, which does not mean that he can surpass others in all aspects.

For example, in terms of healing, he doesn't have much talent, so he needs talents like Gu Yan by his side.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something wrong around him, and his body became weak.

It was as if something had drilled into his skin, making his blood slow down, and his actions were naturally affected.

"What's the situation? Is there something in the air? Do you have any way to isolate it?" Chen Ang asked the crowd.

Qing Mei quickly realized the situation.

"This is pollen. It's the pollen here that's wrong. It seems to have a paralyzing effect, and the toxicity is very strong. If we continue to walk down, I'm afraid we will directly be unable to move, and then be divided as food by those monsters."

Regarding this, Zong Shu also questioned Gu Yan: "You brought us to this place. What should we do now? You should think of some way, right?"

"But I haven't encountered such a situation before."

Gu Yan confessed truthfully, and then took an antidote from his arms and distributed it to their hands.

Chen Ang was originally prepared to try it, but before taking it, he already felt the effect of the toxin in his body start to decrease.

What's going on?

Chen Ang naturally knew about things like poison resistance, but until the system's prompt came out, he only then knew that his body's poison resistance was constantly rising.

How could he refuse such a great opportunity? He simply took the thing in, and then began to kill all directions even more fiercely.

After all, the more he exercised, the more and longer these toxins would circulate in his body, so that his resistance to these toxins would reach the top value as soon as possible.

No one noticed his abnormality, only feeling that his speed had slowed down a lot, and they all thought it was because the previous toxin had not been completely neutralized.

Gu Yan felt a bit sorry in his heart, and the sky gradually darkened. If he couldn't get this done today, he could only wait until tomorrow to find a chance to see if he could find the entrance to that place.

A few people continued to move forward, and the toxins in the air were gradually strengthening. Even the previous antidote gradually lost its effect. Fortunately, it was at this time that they had found a cave where they could hide.

"Let's hide here first, and then set up a barrier at the door to block the poisonous gas." Qing Mei gave the order.

This action was naturally operated by Chen Ang, and soon, a safe space was formed inside.

"It should be safe here. Let's rest here for a night today. As for how to act tomorrow, we can discuss it here. Otherwise, if we keep running around like headless flies, I'm afraid we'll never find the right place, or we don't know how long we'll have to stay here."

Regarding this place, Chen Ang didn't have much affection and just wanted to leave quickly. After all, being a ruthless monster-killing machine is also a very boring thing. He didn't want to be like this. It would be best to know what Gu Yan was looking for, so they could take better measures later.

And perhaps he knew what he was looking for, so the next actions would be clearer, instead of continuing like a few headless flies.

Hearing Chen Ang ask this, Gu Yan sighed and finally told Chen Ang his purpose.

"I am indeed looking for a kind of herb. This herb can treat the people in our village, so I need a very large amount of this herb."

"I don't know the specific name either, only that this herb is very special and can only be found in this place. Someone in our village found this herb before; he found it in this place. At that time, the people in our village drank this medicine, and their physical condition improved a lot, so I think this kind of medicine should be able to cure our villagers completely."

Such a vague statement made Chen Ang frown. Fortunately, the other party quickly took out a drawing showing what the plant looked like. It looked like it had three children's heads, and the color was also a bit creepy.

"Can this thing really cure diseases? If it's really like what you said, and the people in your village are all poisoned and sick, then why are you fine? And have you found the cause of the illness?"

"That's our own business. What I need is just this kind of herb, and I am sure that this is the entrance. If you really don't want to help, I won't force you. After all, I've been looking for it for a while, but I can't find the place the villagers said at all."

Disappointment appeared in his eyes. Seeing him like this, Chen Ang felt a bit embarrassed.

Since he wanted to help others, he naturally had to help to the end. Now that they had already arrived here, if they didn't go in, it would seem like he was in the wrong.

Since he had promised others, he naturally had to do it.

"Rest today first. I still have some dry food and meat jerky. Let's make do with this today. I'll help you find a way to find the passage tomorrow." Chen Ang finally gave a promise.

Gu Yan became excited immediately.

"You really have a way? If you can really help me find this herb, I will definitely repay you. Although I might not have any evolutionary materials you can use, I still have quite a few top-level pills in my hands. I guarantee you will definitely be able to use them."

"We'll see. Eat and rest first. As for whether we can find it, it depends on tomorrow's luck." Chen Ang perfunctorily said, naturally not believing Gu Yan's words in his heart.

At his level, healing medicine basically no longer had any effect, so he didn't hold any hope and just wanted to solve this matter quickly.

Roasting meat was not a difficult task, and those dry foods only needed to be heated on the fire to be eaten directly. It's just that they had big fish and meat a few days ago, so facing these things, they felt a bit tasteless.

Fortunately, after such a day, everyone's fatigue was real, and soon everyone entered dreamland.

Until early the next morning, everyone got up full of energy, and the poisonous gas outside the barrier was obviously thicker, and it had already taken on a color.

Looking at that thick purple-pink color, Qing Mei's whole facial features were twisted together.

"It's already like this, are we really going out? If that antidote can't hold up, we won't have a way to live."

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. This toxin is actually not that powerful; it won't be fatal, and after resisting it for a long time, you will also have poison resistance in your body."

This exaggerated statement only shocked them; they really didn't expect Chen Ang to advise them to use their bodies to resist poison.

Fortunately, Gu Yan was not unprepared, but he didn't want to take it out yesterday.

And since Chen Ang had already agreed, he didn't need to hide it anymore. It would be better to take out the good things, so he simply took out a few small beads.

"These few are poison-avoidance beads. They have already been refined and should be able to support us for several months inside. It should be enough for us to go out."

Seeing this thing, Chen Ang's mouth twitched.

This guy had such good things and didn't take them out earlier; what he meant was already quite obvious.

However, since the other party was willing to share now, he couldn't say much more, so he could only let everyone pack up and set off.

Leaving the barrier, Chen Ang immediately felt a heavier poisonous gas, but this thing was no longer anything for him now.

He strived to raise his body's poison resistance to the full level in these few days, and he probably wouldn't be able to find such a special place elsewhere.

Perhaps he could even practice some poison-related skills later.

Chen Ang easily arranged his future, and the subsequent things went even more smoothly.

He just subconsciously walked toward the place where the toxin was thickest, and what he didn't expect was that he really found the entrance because of this.
