Chapter 2016: My Poison Can

"Big Brother is right—we can't just rely on others to help us; we have to find our own way to help ourselves."

"But how do we find a way?"

Shu Shou felt puzzled—without Luo Fu's help, they wouldn't have been able to cross this great river and reach Penglai Immortal Island.

Without Luo Fu, could they even have crossed this river now?

Entering Penglai Immortal Island is harder still; perhaps they would never enter it in their lifetimes, never obtain anything to enhance themselves, let alone discover the Qiankun Cauldron.

Shebi Shi said: "We can ignore everything else, but this spring should be useful—let's figure out how to take it with us."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead."

In the use of poison, Shebi Shi was stronger than any of the Zu Wu.

If they could refine this spring water with poison, it might be even better than anything they'd used before.

The more he thought about it, the more Shebi Shi felt they had gained this time.

Too bad Luo Fu refused to guide them further—if Luo Fu were willing to advise them, they would have acquired far more.

After a moment of regret, they picked up the items; what they needed to do next, they ought to understand—but they had learned their lesson.

The Three-Eyed Eagle would never return.

One thing was certain: the demon clans must also be taking advantage of this moment to enter Penglai Immortal Island—they needed to set traps nearby to prevent them from entering so easily.

Sister Houtu was deeply interested.

"How do we set traps that can hold back Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun?" Sister Houtu asked.

"Do we even need to ask? Of course it's Brother Shebi Shi's turn."

Sister Xuanming turned excitedly to the side, staring at Shebi Shi, who was gazing intently at the spring; when he heard his name, he froze for an instant.

But he quickly recovered: "My poison cannot possibly stop Dong Huang Taiyi."

Before Luo Fu appeared, Dong Huang Taiyi was the pinnacle of combat power in the Honghuang—yet even this pinnacle was useless against my poison; I can't even use it.

"That's true… so what do we do?"

Sister Houtu had been lost in thought and hadn't noticed that the spring beside her was boiling visibly, just as the one near Sister Xuanming was.

Shu Shou stared in shock at the front.

"Are you two alright?"

"Of course we're fine—what's wrong?"

Only when Sister Houtu recalled herself did she glance down at her feet—and suddenly saw the boiling spring; she leapt up, but was instantly pressed down by Luo Fu.

Sister Xuanming beside her was also startled, but she held her composure.

"I told you—I won't allow you to leave this spring. If you do, all your progress will be wasted. You are cultivating!"

With Luo Fu's words, Sister Xuanming and Sister Houtu calmed down, no longer frightened.

This was different from the Zu Wu's previous breakthroughs!

Di Jiang and Zhu Jiuyin and the others had decided to trust Luo Fu—after all, Luo Fu knew far more than they did; why would he harm Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming?

"Little sister, just relax."

"That's right—you two relax. Do what you need to do. Don't be stiff."

Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming drew their weapons, as Luo Fu had always instructed them to do—soak them in this spring, perhaps it would benefit the weapons.
