Chapter 222 Zhang Chulan Brought Miraculous Materials
"I'm thinking how wonderful it would be to eat it again over there."
Jiang Mo was both amused and exasperated: "You've certainly thought of everything."
Wei Duoduo and Chen Duo, who were standing nearby, also laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed.
Feng Baobao stood to the side, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Mo and Chen Duo, as if she were pondering something.
Jiang Mo noticed Feng Baobao's gaze and stepped forward: "Feng Baobao, right? My name is Jiang Mo, nice to meet you."
Feng Baobao stared at Jiang Mo, a hint of wariness in her eyes: "Why did you call me there?"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Because I heard that you have a special constitution and a strong resistance to toxins."
"And the place we're going to this time is perfect for testing that."
"Furthermore," Jiang Mo lowered his voice, "I think you also have many questions about your own background, don't you?"
Feng Baobao's eyes widened, and she became even more wary: "What do you know?"
“It’s not certain yet,” Jiang Mo shook his head, “but this trip to Poison Valley might yield some clues.”
Feng Baobao fell silent, unsure whether she should trust Jiang Mo.
But deep down, she did yearn to know about her past.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's go."
Jiang Mo announced, "The company has already arranged transportation."
"First, fly to the southwestern border, then transfer to an off-road vehicle to reach Poison Valley."
Everyone nodded and followed Jiang Mo into the company's commercial vehicle, heading to the airport.
......
In front of a valley shrouded in thick fog on the southwestern border.
Jiang Mo and his group stood at the entrance of the valley, looking at the green poisonous fog that filled the air, their expressions varied.
"This is the entrance to the Poison Valley."
The company agent leading the team explained, "According to regulations, we can only take you this far; any further in is a danger zone."
Jiang Mo nodded: "Understood, thank you for your help."
The agent handed Jiang Mo a communicator: "This can help us stay in touch."
"Although the signal may be a bit unstable, it at least lets us know your approximate location."
"Contact us immediately in case of emergency."
Jiang Mo took the communicator and looked at the people behind him: "Ready?"
Zhang Chulan adjusted his backpack: "We're ready to go anytime, big brother."
Wei Duoduo nodded excitedly: "Following Lord Gu God, I'd go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Chen Duo smiled slightly: "I'm ready."
Feng Baobao simply nodded silently, her eyes filled with determination.
“Let’s go in then.” Jiang Mo said, turning and walking towards the valley shrouded in poisonous fog.
The group followed closely behind, but were quickly swallowed up by the thick fog and disappeared from the agents' sight.
Not long after entering the Poison Valley, Zhang Chulan felt a tickle in his throat and couldn't help but cough a few times.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Mo asked, turning around.
"It's nothing, maybe the air here is a bit irritating." Zhang Chulan waved his hand.
Jiang Mo glanced at his surroundings.
The plants here all have an unusual color, and some even have faintly glowing spots.
"The toxic smog here is indeed harmful to ordinary people."
Jiang Mo explained, "However, it won't affect us supernatural beings much, as long as we don't go too deep into the area for too long, there won't be any problems."
As he spoke, he took out several small bottles from his backpack, each containing a green liquid.
"This is my specially made antidote."
"One bottle per person will temporarily protect them from the toxic fumes."
Each person took a bottle, and Zhang Chulan drank it all in one gulp without hesitation, then let out a satisfied sigh.
"It really works! My throat feels much better."
Everyone else drank it, but Feng Baobao put the bottle in her pocket.
"Aren't you going to drink?" Jiang Mo asked.
Feng Baobao shook her head: "I feel fine, I don't need it."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "It seems the rumors are true; you do indeed have a strong resistance to toxins."
The group continued forward, and as they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly bizarre.
The plants on the ground are no longer the usual green, but a mixture of all sorts of strange colors.
Some plants even wriggle as they pass by, as if they were alive.
"Look over there!" Wei Duoduo suddenly shouted, pointing to a peculiar plant.
It was a huge flower with petals that were an alluring purple.
The stamen in the center kept wriggling, as if it were breathing.
“That’s a ‘Purple Ghost Flower’”
Jiang Mo explained, "Its nectar is highly poisonous, but it's the best food for Gu worms."
As he spoke, he carefully approached the flower and reached out to touch its stamen.
The flower stamen immediately contracted, spraying out a stream of purple powder.
"Watch out!" Zhang Chulan shouted.
But Jiang Mo seemed to have been prepared.
He took a deep breath and actually inhaled all the powder into his body.
"Big brother!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed.
Jiang Mo turned around and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, this is a tonic for me."
Seeing Jiang Mo's nonchalant demeanor, a hint of shock flashed in Feng Baobao's eyes.
She knew from a young age that she had a resistance to toxins.
Even so, no one would dare to directly inhale drugs like Jiang Mo.
Who exactly is this person?
The group continued forward, and the surrounding environment became increasingly eerie, with the poisonous fog growing thicker and thicker.
Various strange creatures would occasionally dart past them.
Some look like mutated snakes or lizards, while others cannot be described as ordinary animals at all.
Along the way, Jiang Mo would occasionally stop to collect some special plants or capture some strange little creatures, carefully placing them into specially made containers.
"Big brother, what are you going to do with all this stuff?" Zhang Chulan asked curiously.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Of course it's for hot pot, didn't you say you wanted to eat it?"
Zhang Chulan immediately perked up: "Really? That's great!"
The group continued forward, gradually venturing deeper into the heart of the Poison Valley.
Suddenly, Jiang Mo stopped in his tracks, his expression turning serious.
"What's wrong, brother?" Zhang Chulan asked.
“There are people ahead,” Jiang Mo said in a low voice, “and more than one.”
The group became alert and cautiously approached, hiding behind a peculiar thicket of bushes.
On an open space not far away.
Several people in protective suits were busy, and they seemed to be collecting something.
To Jiang Mo and his group's surprise, these people were clearly not Asian, but a group of foreigners.
"Who are they?" Wei Duoduo asked in a low voice.
"Judging from their equipment, they must be from some research institution or organization."
After observing for a while, Jiang Mo said, "It looks like they've come to collect poisonous substances."
Just then, one of the people in the group seemed to notice something and glanced in the direction of Jiang Mo and his group.
“Someone’s here!” the man shouted in English.
The others immediately became alert, and several guns were simultaneously pointed towards the bushes.
