Chapter 428: 428. The Disappearance of the Nanman Poisonous Miasma

428. Chapter 428: The Disappearance of the Nanman Poisonous Miasma

Once these words were out, Meng Huo looked at Su Chen with instant excitement, and he immediately grasped Su Chen's hands.

"Benefactor, is everything you said true? Our Barbarian tribe's cultivation techniques have been lost for hundreds or thousands of years, and we have never been able to solve it, not to mention the poisonous miasma in the forest..."

Meng Huo was clearly beyond excited; he said so much in one breath that he nearly couldn't catch it, and only after a heavy exhale did he continue.

"It's not that there haven't been outside Cultivators before; their cultivation levels were also very powerful, but they were all helpless against the poisonous miasma in this forest. Only occasionally would a few people provide us with methods to traverse the forest for short periods."

Speaking of this, Meng Huo's face even flushed red, more effective than having eaten a miraculous Pill, and his eagle eyes looked at Su Chen so brightly that he nearly swallowed Su Chen whole.

Su Chen was still a bit unaccustomed to being held so enthusiastically by him, so he coughed twice and said.

"Of course it is true, it's just that I can only give you those cultivation techniques later. They are all from my memory, so I need to transcribe them."

Having something is better than having nothing; Meng Huo's current mood could be described as too excited for words, feeling as though everything had finally taken a turn for the better.

In an instant, he felt that Su Chen was the savior sent by the heavens to rescue them, and Su Chen's image in his heart rose by more than one level.

"As for the poisonous miasma in the forest, just follow me."

Su Chen coughed twice, suddenly straightened his expression, and said.

The group nodded hurriedly and followed Su Chen into the forest.

Actually, Su Chen wasn't 100% sure he could solve it, but according to his past memories, the poisonous miasma in the forest didn't form suddenly; it must have been due to human factors.

And it was very likely a form of pollution.

Plus what the Divine Dragon Great Emperor had said...

Su Chen arrived at the center of the forest.

This place had been eroded by pollution to the point of being unrecognizable; poisonous miasma was everywhere, so thick it had almost condensed into substance, and there was hardly a living thing to be seen for a hundred miles.

One couldn't even see their own fingers in front of their face; the trees and plants here all appeared purplish-black, the whole place looking sickly, clearly having suffered deeply from the poison.

Protected by Su Chen and the others, Meng Huo could temporarily resist the encroachment of the miasma, but such intense pollution nearly made him unable to breathe.

His complexion turned abnormally pale, and even his legs were trembling uncontrollably; even though he tried to feign composure, it was of little use.

Meng Huo said tremblingly: "This is already the very center of the forest, the place where the pollution is most severe; the incantations passed down by our predecessors cannot keep us here for long."

As he spoke, he suddenly coughed twice, and purplish-black blood instantly surged from his throat.

He hurriedly wiped it away and took the opportunity to swallow the Pill Su Chen gave him, only then barely suppressing the fishy sweetness in his throat.

Su Chen took a deep breath, thinking of the movements the Dragon God made at that time, and between opening and closing his eyes, a burst of golden light appeared in his pupils.

The Divine Dragon Martial Soul also instantly appeared behind him; the majestic Dragon was pacing uneasily, and upon sensing the sky-covering poisonous gas all around, it immediately let out a ferocious roar.

Those poisonous gases seemed to sense a threat and instantly retreated three hundred paces.

Seeing that it was effective, Su Chen immediately released his powerful Spiritual Power. Ziwei Xianzi and Yi Zhuyue immediately saw that with Su Chen's current cultivation, exerting such powerful Spiritual Power simultaneously would surely lead to physical depletion, so they immediately began channeling Spiritual Power into Su Chen's body.

Feeling their help, Su Chen also instantly felt Spiritual Power surging into his body continuously, and he immediately increased the intensity of his Spiritual Power output.

It was also at this moment that the long-dormant Token suddenly appeared, floating in front of Su Chen and vibrating violently. The troublesome poisonous miasma had originally wanted to flee, but the Token erupted with a massive suction force, instantly drawing all the poisonous miasma toward it.

Su Chen also took the opportunity to have the Divine Dragon Martial Soul continuously drive the poisonous miasma, forcing it to be absorbed into the Token.

After struggling for several hours, the poisonous miasma that had originally covered the sky was finally completely cleared away.

Su Chen subconsciously touched his forehead, which was already soaked with sweat, and his back was also drenched.

Su Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his footsteps staggering, nearly falling to his knees.

To disperse this patch of poisonous miasma, his own Spiritual Power had been squeezed dry, leaving nothing at all; if not for the help of Ziwei Xianzi and the others, he might not have succeeded today.

Meng Huo looked at the scene before him in disbelief; the forest, which had been gloomy and devoid of sunlight in the past, had now taken on a new look, filled with fresh air everywhere.

And just at this moment, a little white rabbit appeared, its long ears drooping for a moment as it tentatively touched the stream water in front of it, and then it began to frolic inside.

At the same time, countless wild beasts that had been driven to the outskirts of the forest also sensed the changes in the forest and all gathered around.

They clearly also sensed that Su Chen was their savior; little birds sang in the sky, and countless mammals gathered happily around Su Chen and the others below.

They were very timid and only dared to watch the group from afar.

Su Chen couldn't help but curl his lips; he had suddenly found the meaning in what he had done—not just for the Barbarian people whose territory was constantly being compressed, but for all the living creatures that inhabited the forest.

Meng Huo looked at Su Chen with an excited face, his lips trembling for a long time, not knowing where to begin.

After much thought, he plopped to his knees in front of Su Chen.

"Benefactor! You are the benefactor of our entire Nanman!"

Meng Huo's eyes were already brimming with tears; at his age, he rarely cried, but everything today had fiercely stimulated Meng Huo's spirit.

Su Chen hurriedly walked forward and helped Meng Huo up.

"It's okay, it's okay, Leader Meng."

Su Chen said, feeling a bit at a loss; this was the first time he had been praised like this.

After all, before this, those people had always thought of him as a villain, thinking he was wicked and unforgivable, burning, killing, and looting.

Ziwei Xianzi couldn't help but curl her lips and said to Su Chen: "You are the hero of the entire Nanman."

Su Chen also looked at Ziwei Xianzi, feeling very embarrassed.

The group exchanged some more polite words before bidding farewell to Meng Huo. At this moment, Meng Huo was beyond excited, already impatient to tell all these good tidings to his tribesmen.

As for Su Chen, it was also time to tell the others everything he had seen and heard in the Shengdi.

He briefly recounted everything he had seen, took the opportunity to put forward his own ideas, and brought out the token of trust given to them by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Compared to before, those tokens of trust had undergone a complete transformation; unlike their previous dusty and lackluster appearance, they now looked like items that had been meticulously polished.

Even though there wasn't much change, they looked like something one could no longer associate with the previous ones. (End of chapter)
