Chapter 246

After finishing the negotiation with Weina, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong left the hotel.

Huo Yutong stretched lazily, took Tang Wulin's hand, and asked with a smile:

"What should we do next, go to Sunset Forest?"

"Hmm."

Tang Wulin nodded.

"I'm really curious what's there."

Undoubtedly, they have gained a lot from this trip to Tian Dou City.

Not only did they obtain the news that the Body Sect was about to emerge, they also facilitated cooperation between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire, which is of great significance to them.

But having said that, the fundamental purpose of their coming to Tian Dou City has not yet begun.

According to Lao Tang's meaning, the things there might even be on par with the Dragon Dan, which filled Tang Wulin with anticipation.

Huo Yutong gently squeezed Tang Wulin's hand.

"Then let's go, it's already getting dark."

"Okay."

The two thus quickly walked out of the city, heading toward the direction of Sunset Forest on the map.

As they walked, Tang Wulin said to Huo Yutong, "By the way, do you still remember what we inquired about when we arrived?"

"You mean the miasma in the forest?"

"Hmm."

Tang Wulin lightly nodded.

"I've thought about it, and I feel I have an idea on how to deal with the miasma."

When they had just arrived in Tian Dou City, Tang Wulin specifically asked several locals about the situation in Sunset Forest.

According to them, many years ago Sunset Forest was also a normal gathering place for soul beasts, but from some unknown time onward, a poisonous gas called miasma appeared here; mild cases cause dizziness and nausea, severe cases can be fatal, it is terribly frightening; over time, not only do humans dare not come here to obtain soul rings, even the soul beasts living in this forest have gradually gone extinct.

Tang Wulin was not overly surprised by this; a place favored by Lao Tang must have its unique merits, and such a place having remained little known indicates that reaching it surely requires overcoming many difficulties.

Although it's unknown whether there are other dangers inside, it's clear that this miasma is the first difficulty Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong must face.

Huo Yutong curiously asked:

"How do you plan to deal with it?"

She also had asked Snow Emperor in the Sea of Spirit, and Snow Emperor said she could try using extreme ice.

However, at this moment Tang Wulin said he had a method to deal with it, so he must have some confidence; she is willing to hear his explanation.

Tang Wulin showed a smile.

"Since Lao Tang sent me here, it shows that in his view I now have a way to dispel this toxic miasma; but in fact I have no immunity to poison, so the answer is quite obvious."

He said seriously:

"This miasma should be released by plants; I can suppress them using the ability of the Natural Son."

What Tang Wulin doesn't know is that Lao Tang actually doesn't remember at all what his original body did here; in other words, he doesn't know what danger Tang Wulin will face by coming here, he only remembers that this place hides a great opportunity.

Therefore the premise of his reasoning is fundamentally wrong, yet he accidentally hit the correct answer; one can only say fate is truly wonderful.

"So that's how it is..." Upon hearing him say that, Huo Yutong also felt it made sense, "Why don't you try it now?" "Okay."

Tang Wulin nodded, and then a green-gold soul ring rose beside him.

The ability of his Natural Son has an extremely large range, especially in the forest where its maximum effect can cover the entire Sunset Forest without problem.

Soon, Tang Wulin completed a connection with the plants in Sunset Forest; after the connection was completed, his expression involuntarily fell into a daze.

Huo Yutong curiously asked:

"Wulin, what's wrong, what did you see?"

Hearing her voice, Tang Wulin hurriedly said to her:

"Yutong, quickly share spirit with me!"

"Huh?" Huo Yutong blinked in confusion, then lightly nodded, "Okay."

Then, as the perception of the Natural Son was shared with Huo Yutong, her expression also froze.

"What is this……?"

She could hardly believe what she was seeing.

As the perception of the Natural Son spread deeper into the forest, the first thing that grew increasingly dense was the miasma in the forest.

Not only did the white vapor in the air become denser, but as they went deeper into Sunset Forest, the toxic miasma gradually turned into a seven-colored hue.

At the very core of Sunset Forest, the concentration of the miasma reached its maximum.

The space seemed to turn into seven-colored hues under the miasma's effect; among these seven colors, the cyan-green was the most intense, so intense that just looking at it made one dizzy.

Huo Yutong even doubted whether an ordinary person arriving there could see objects beyond one meter away—of course, assuming an ordinary person could even survive there.

And the culprit causing this situation is quite obvious: some plants in the central area.

These cyan-green plants extend outward on both sides; they are not tall, about half a meter high; each cyan-green plant has nine oddly shaped leaves, these leaves somewhat resemble a human hand but with seven fingers, and some larger specimens even have nine fingers.

And at their tops, they bloom large cyan-green flowers; that cyan-green mist is emitted from the stamens of these large flowers.

They slowly diffuse outward, then merge into the seven-colored miasma, continually deepening its hue.

It is clear that Tang Wulin guessed correctly; these plants are the culprits that turned Sunset Forest into what it is today.

Beside these plants lie countless carcasses of large soul beasts, these bones look aged, speaking to how powerful the miasma's might is.

Yet even this seven-colored miasma is merely an appetizer.

Behind these cyan-green plants, the miasma's color turns completely cyan-green; this cyan-green miasma does not rise and spread, but sinks downward.

An extremely dense cyan-green mist accumulates together, seeming about to solidify; merely seeing it, Huo Yutong feels her Eye of Fate on her forehead twitching and issuing warnings, speaking of its danger.

Obviously, beneath this cyan-green miasma lies a valley; the secret realm Lao Tang spoke of is within that valley.

No wonder for so many years nobody has found the secret realm that Old Tang spoke of; this level of toxic miasma, even a Limit Douluo coming might not necessarily get any benefit.

However, after seeing the scenery in the valley, Huo Yutong felt that everything was irrelevant; she thought having such a level of toxic miasma as protection was quite normal.

She saw a paradise on earth.
