Both worlds are like dreams

Gu Qinglan immediately protected the Snow Phoenix behind him and repelled all the approaching spiders.

Lin Yu's fingertips emitted countless silver needles, which he shot at the spiders, saying, "These spiders are usually not aggressive. They must have been attracted by something."

"Is it the smell?" Gu Qinglan asked.

Lin Yu frowned and suddenly kicked aside the grass under his feet. Inside was the body of a dead venomous snake, which was almost rotten and attracted countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. "It's a snake. Get out of here quickly."

Gu Qinglan picked up Xue Huang by the waist and jumped back quickly, but the trees were thick here and it was difficult to use Qinggong. Gu Qinglan held Xue Huang in his arms while swinging his sword to repel the spiders and brought her to an open space.

But just as he landed, another one suddenly came down from the tree behind him, landed on Gu Qinglan's arm, and bit him directly.

"Brother Qinglan." Xue Huang was startled, and a stream of cold air shot out from her palm, freezing the spider directly, and it fell to the ground and shattered. She hurriedly checked Gu Qinglan's injuries, "Are you okay?"

Gu Qinglan pressed the acupuncture points on his body and forced the poisonous blood out of his arm. Seeing Xuehuang's worried eyes, he smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Xue Huang clenched her fists and looked back at the spiders. All her fear turned into murderous intent, and she instantly felt a strong chill. The frost spread at a visible speed, and the area within a mile was instantly frozen into a white world. The spiders were also frozen into ice sculptures without exception.

Xu Yao grabbed Lin Yu and quickly retreated to Gu Qinglan's side, because that was the only place not covered by ice.

Seeing that there was no spider left alive, the chill on Xue Huang's body finally subsided. She turned to look at Lin Yu, but he was startled. In the end, Xue Huang just said, "He was bitten by a spider."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she was too cruel. She was so scared just now, but now she killed the whole family without mercy. He hurried forward to check Gu Qinglan's wound, fearing that she would freeze him if she got angry. "Don't worry, the poison is not serious. The medicine I took before is enough to neutralize it."

Xue Huang took out a handkerchief and bandaged Gu Qinglan's wound. "It's all my fault."

"Don't blame you, it was my own carelessness."

Xuyao looked at them and sighed silently. It was the same in the illusion. She could not tolerate any harm to Gu Qinglan. Caring about someone would breed infinite courage for him, but it would also expose one's own weaknesses. I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

After a moment of silence, he said, "There should be no spiders ahead. Do you want to keep going?"

"Brother Qinglan, does your wound still hurt?" Xuehuang asked.

Gu Qinglan shook his head, "If you are afraid, I will go back with you."

"With you here, I'm not afraid." Xue Huang said.

"Okay, let's set off."

Xue Huang supported him and followed behind Xu Yao and Lin Yu, and the four of them continued to move forward. There were still all kinds of spiders on the way, but as long as Xue Huang looked at Gu Qinglan's face, she was not afraid of anything.

They didn't know how long they had walked, but they finally reached the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. There was a swamp inside, and the road under their feet became very muddy.

They stopped temporarily because the road ahead was not suitable for further walking.

Lin Yu squatted down, looked at the marks on the ground, and said, "There are traces of snakes crawling. This is most likely where the Earth Vein Fire Lotus grows."

"What does it look like?" Xue Huang asked.

"It's a little special, green."

Snow Phoenix was a bit surprising. From the name, it seemed like it should be red or orange, but I didn’t expect it to be green.

"Let's look around." Gu Qinglan said.

"Follow the snake's crawling traces." Lin Yu said.

Xue Huang nodded and walked aside with Gu Qinglan.

The four of them walked along the traces for a long distance but did not find anything else.

"Mr. Lin, there is nothing here." Xue Huang said.

"The seven-colored green-scaled snake is a highly poisonous creature and a solitary creature. It likes humid places the most. It must be nearby." Lin Yu said.

"Didn't you bring realgar?" Xue Huang raised an eyebrow, "Just smoke the snake out."

That's right, Lin Yu thought. If I sprinkle realgar powder around, I can force it to show up. He quickly sprinkled the realgar powder on the place where the mark was.

Sure enough, not long after, rustling sounds were heard in the grass.

They immediately looked in that direction vigilantly, and saw a strange-looking little snake crawling out of the grass. It was emerald green all over, but the scales on its body were shining with colorful light under the sun.

At this time, its pair of brown eyes were turning around, as if it was observing them.

Looking at the little snake, Lin Yu smiled, "It is indeed a seven-colored green-scaled snake."

At this time, the green-scaled snake suddenly raised its head, staring at them with its brown eyes, then moved its tail, jumped up from the ground, and headed straight for Lin Yu's face.

Lin Yu reacted very quickly, dodging the attack of the green-scaled snake by rolling sideways. At the same time, he shook his wrist and sprinkled the realgar powder in his hand onto the green-scaled snake's body.

After a while, the green-scaled snake immediately became listless and lay on the ground motionless.

Lin Yu put it into a special bag and said, "The Green Scale Snake has been caught, and the Fire Lotus should be not far away."

A few people followed the direction in which the snake came out and found a cliff behind the grass. The drop was not big, about one person high.

There is a pool of water below, with a strange plant growing in the middle. It has black leaves, green flowers, and red stamens.

"That's the fire lotus." Lin Yu said.

"I'll go get it." Xu Yao said.

"Be careful." Gu Qinglan said.

Xu Yao flew over the water and successfully picked the fire lotus with his superb lightness skills. But just as he pulled out the fire lotus, something unexpected happened.

A huge green-scaled snake as big as a tree suddenly jumped out of the water and bit Xuyao on the shoulder.

"Master!" Lin Yu was horrified.

Xu Yao immediately drew out the Zhaoxue Sword and stabbed the snake's vital point. The snake felt the pain and threw him out.

There was no leverage on the water surface at this time, so Xue Huang immediately slapped out a palm, and an icicle jumped out of the water surface, allowing Xu Yao to retreat to the shore.

But the wounds on his body were shocking. The snake's teeth were extremely sharp. The bite just now had torn all the clothes on his left shoulder apart. All the flesh and blood were turned inside out, and the bones were almost visible.

Lin Yu quickly sealed the major acupoints on his body and fed him a pill.
