Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 127 Encountering Poisonous Fog

"Na, there's nothing to prepare. Let's go now."

"Bai Ze, you are familiar with this place. You should know where the depths of this valley are. You lead the way."

"Okay, mother."

The group hurriedly headed deeper into the valley. Zhuzhu and Bai Ze asked the passing birds, animals, flowers, plants, and trees about the situation in the valley.

A bird standing on the tree chirped at Zhuzhu.

"Don't go in, don't go in. Once you go in, you can't get out. Once you go in, you can't get out."

Mengzi and Zhuzhu frowned, but said nothing and continued walking forward with everyone.

At this time, a rabbit ran over and looked up at Bai Ze and said:

"You can't go in, you can't go in. It's too dangerous in here. No living thing can come out once you go in. Don't go in and die!"

Bai Ze turned to look at Mengzi and Zhuzhu. Their glances exchanged, and they knew the danger was grave. But for their father's sake, the three of them said nothing. Bai Ze continued to lead the way.

The further we walked, the thicker the fog in the air became, and the faint roars of strange beasts could be heard. The trees on both sides of the road also grew taller, their branches baring their teeth and claws like ghosts.

Zhuzhu held Mengzi's hand tightly, her palms slightly sweaty. Bai Ze led the way, observing the surroundings with vigilance.

Suddenly, a huge python jumped out from behind a tree and blocked their way, hissing as it swallowed its tongue.

Mengzi and Zhuzhu quickly stepped back, while Bai Ze stood firm, confronting the python. He slowly extended his hand, and a beam of white light shot out, striking the python's head. The python, in pain, temporarily retreated.

"Bai Ze, are you okay?"

Mona hurried forward, looked the three children up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that nothing was seriously wrong.

"Bai Ze, the fog is getting thicker, are we almost reaching the valley?"

"Mother, if we go any further, we'll reach the Lost Land. These birds and beasts have no ill intentions; they're trying to stop us from going in!"

"I know, let's make some preparations."

After Mona finished speaking, she took out Long Kui's dragon tendon from the system and said, "Come on, everyone, get closer and tie the dragon tendon to your wrists. You guys hold the children and walk slowly. Safety is important!"

Each of the beastly husbands held a child. Bai Ze insisted on walking in front. Mona couldn't persuade him, so she had to let Bai Chen take second place to protect him.

The group walked forward cautiously when suddenly a strong wind blew over them, making it almost impossible for them to open their eyes. The wind was mixed with a pungent smell that made them feel dizzy.

"What's going on?" asked the cute kid.

"Oh no, this is poisonous fog! Everyone cover your mouth and nose!" Mona shouted.

However, it was too late. The poisonous fog spread rapidly, making it impossible to escape. Mengzi and Zhuzhu felt their throats dry and breathing difficult.

At this moment, Mona took out a few green crystals from her pocket and handed them to Mengzi and Zhuzhu, "Eat them quickly!"

After the two took the green crystal, their symptoms were slightly relieved. However, the poisonous fog did not dissipate, but instead became thicker.

"What should we do? We can't be trapped here!" Zhuzhu said anxiously.

Mona looked around, searching for a way out. She found a huge rock not far away that seemed to be able to block the poisonous fog.

"Everyone, follow me!" Mona led everyone to run towards the boulder. They hid behind the boulder, temporarily avoiding the invasion of the poisonous fog. Mona observed the surrounding environment, trying to find another exit.

"Look, there seems to be a cave over there!" Bai Ze said, pointing in a direction next to the boulder.

Mona looked in the direction he pointed and saw a pitch-black cave entrance.

"Maybe there's a way inside that can avoid the poisonous fog. Let's go and take a look," said Mona.

Everyone walked towards the cave cautiously. When they entered, there was a damp smell inside. Mengzi hugged Wushuang's neck tightly, fearing that there would be any danger.

Suddenly, there was a noise ahead. Mona stopped in her tracks, alert, and motioned for silence. She slowly approached the source of the noise and discovered a wounded hare.

"It seems that this poisonous fog not only affects us, but also causes harm to other animals. No wonder Brother Ying said he was poisoned." Mona said.

"No wonder the animals just now prevented us from coming in. It turns out that it was the poisonous fog that caused the trouble. Let's leave here quickly." Bai Ze urged.

"You guys stay here and don't move. I'll go ahead and see if there's a way!" After Bai Chen said that, he turned into a nine-tailed fox and disappeared from everyone's sight!

After a while, Bai Chen came back, feeling a little lost and a little angry!

"Na, there's no way out of this cave. The depths are filled with animal bones. They must be wild beasts that strayed in by mistake. Like us, they were eroded by the poisonous fog and tried to find a way out. They either ran out of energy or died from the poison! If we want to move forward, we have to go through the poisonous fog!"

"How could this happen? Brother Ying is obviously fine!"

"Didn't you say that Long Ying wasn't poisoned, but only his soul was injured?"

"Yes, that's the result of the systematic medical examination. Could it be that we've overlooked something that can be used to detoxify or avoid this poisonous fog?"

"Everyone, think carefully about Long Ying's condition at the time. Did he take anything?"

So, everyone fell into reminiscence... At this moment, Wushuang suddenly thought of something, "Long Ying seemed to have eaten a fruit before!"

"Fruit?" Mona's eyes lit up. "Maybe that fruit has the effect of detoxifying!"

"But where can we find that kind of fruit now?" Zhuzhu asked.

Mona thought for a moment and said, "We can follow the route that the dragon shadow took and look for it. Maybe we can find something."

So, everyone decided to go back and look for fruit.

Mona asked everyone to cover their mouths and noses with animal skins, and they quickly passed through the poisonous fog and continued along the way they came.

Along the way, they found many plants that had withered due to the poisonous fog, but they never saw any trace of fruit.

Just when they were feeling disappointed, the cute cub suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look! There's a fruit tree over there!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the cute baby's finger and saw a tree full of crystal clear fruits.

"It's this kind of fruit! I saw Long Ying take one out and eat it right away! And then he stopped rolling on the ground!"

Mona walked forward excitedly, picked a fruit, and looked at it carefully. The fruit was crystal clear, and even the juice flowing inside could be seen clearly.

"Bai Chen, pick them all and share them with everyone."

Bai Chen put all the fruits into his pocket with a whoosh. After everyone ate the fruits, they felt their physical discomfort gradually disappear.

"That's great, we finally found a way to detoxify! It won't be scary if we encounter poisonous fog again." Zhuzhu said happily.
