Chapter 223 Foreigners Have Arrived Too
"We've been discovered."
Jiang Mo said calmly, "It's alright, we mean no harm. Let's go out and see them."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the bushes, followed closely by the others.
"Who are you people?" a blond man who looked like the leader asked warily, his gun still pointed at Jiang Mo and his group.
“We’re here to collect some special plants and creatures,” Jiang Mo replied in fluent English. “And you?”
The blond man stared at Jiang Mo for a while.
He seemed to be assessing the level of threat posed by the other party, and then slowly lowered his gun.
"We are members of an international biological research organization, and we are here to collect certain special toxins for medical research."
Jiang Mo nodded, his gaze sweeping over the equipment behind the other person and the samples that had already been collected.
"It seems we have similar goals, just different applications."
The blond man asked curiously, "What do you use these poisons for?"
"They are all highly poisonous; a slight mistake can be fatal."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "We have our own way of using it."
Just then, the large bag Zhang Chulan was carrying suddenly attracted the attention of the foreigners.
"What's that?" a man wearing glasses asked, pointing at Zhang Chulan's backpack.
Zhang Chulan smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Pots and pans."
"What?" The man looked puzzled.
“He said it’s a tool for cooking,” Jiang Mo explained.
"Cooking?" The blond man's eyes widened in surprise. "In a place like this?"
“Yes, the ingredients in Poison Valley are quite unique,” Jiang Mo said with a smile.
The blond man glanced at Jiang Mo, then at Zhang Chulan, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Are you here for a picnic? What interesting foreigners!"
The other foreigners also laughed, clearly thinking Jiang Mo was joking.
“Anyway,” the blond man wiped away tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes.
"It's dangerous here, you'd better be careful."
"Especially with so many girls with you, I really don't know what you were thinking."
Jiang Mo's smile gradually faded: "We'll be careful, don't worry."
“Alright,” the blond man shrugged, “but we need to keep going in; there’s a special kind of poison there.”
"It's said to have significant medicinal value, and our main purpose for this trip is to find it."
A flicker of emotion crossed Jiang Mo's eyes: "Is it the source of all poisons?"
The blond man looked at Jiang Mo in surprise: "You know that place too?"
“I’ve heard about it,” Jiang Mo said calmly.
"Then you should also know that that place is extremely dangerous; no one has ever returned safely."
The blond man said seriously, "But we have special equipment and medicine that allow us to briefly enter the border areas."
Jiang Mo nodded: "We also plan to go there."
"Ha!" the blond man laughed again. "Taking these children and pots and pans to the source of all poisons? Are you kidding me?"
Jiang Mo did not respond, but simply looked at the other person calmly.
“Listen, friend,” the blond man’s tone became somewhat arrogant.
“That place is not a tourist attraction. Even experienced professionals like us only dare to stay briefly on the outskirts.”
"Going there rashly like this will only put your lives in danger."
“Thank you for the reminder,” Jiang Mo said calmly, “but we have our own considerations.”
"Do as you please," the blond man shook his head.
"However, if you change your mind, you can come with us; at least we have professional equipment."
After saying that, he turned to his companion and said, "Pack your things, let's continue."
The foreign team began packing up their equipment, preparing to continue their journey.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mo and his group were resting on the side.
Zhang Chulan took the opportunity to get close to Jiang Mo.
"Brother, those foreigners look very professional. Should we really continue going in?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "Of course, our purpose here is to find the source of all poisons."
"But from what they're saying, that place is really dangerous..."
"It is indeed very dangerous for ordinary people."
Jiang Mo explained, "But for me, it was simply paradise."
Zhang Chulan wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Mo's determined look, he could only nod in understanding.
Soon, the foreign team was fully equipped and ready to depart.
The blond man glanced at Jiang Mo and his group and said, "We're leaving now. Here's one last piece of advice for you."
"Don't go too deep; the toxic fog there won't even protect our protective suits for long."
Jiang Mo nodded his thanks: "Good luck to you."
Watching the foreign team gradually walk away.
Wei Duoduo couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of attitude is that? Does she think she's so great?"
"They don't know how powerful Lord Gu God is. Daring to be so arrogant in front of you is simply courting death!"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "They're just worried about our safety, there's no need to be angry."
"Alright, break time is over, it's time for us to get going."
Jiang Mo stood up and looked at the people behind him. "The place we're going to next is indeed quite dangerous."
"If anyone is afraid, it's not too late to back out."
"I'm not afraid!" Wei Duoduo was the first to declare. "Following Lord Gu God, I'm not afraid of death!"
Chen Duo nodded firmly, "I trust Jiang Mo; he won't let us be in danger."
Zhang Chulan scratched his head: "If my older brother isn't afraid, what do I have to be afraid of?"
"Besides, we're carrying a bunch of pots and pans; we can't just carry them back for nothing, can we?"
Feng Baobao glanced at Jiang Mo silently, then simply said one word: "Go."
Jiang Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Then let's continue. Our destination: the source of all poisons!"
The group continued deeper into the Poison Valley, where the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie, and the poisonous fog grew thicker and thicker.
We walked for about two hours.
Zhang Chulan and Wei Duoduo clearly felt difficulty breathing, and Chen Duo's face also turned pale.
"Let's stop for a bit," Jiang Mo noticed everyone's condition. "Let's rest for a while and take some antidote."
The group stopped and found a relatively clean open space to sit down.
Jiang Mo took out several bottles of green liquid from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
"This one is more effective than the previous one and can withstand denser toxic fog."
Zhang Chulan took the bottle and drank it all in one gulp: "Wow, the taste is so weird!"
Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo also drank the medicine, but Feng Baobao still refused.
"Are you sure you don't need it?" Jiang Mo asked. "The poisonous fog here is already very dense. Even with your special constitution, you might still be affected."
Feng Baobao shook her head: "I feel fine, I really don't need it."
Jiang Mo nodded, not insisting, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
