Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

Chapter 265 The Perils of the Di Tu Mo

Filled with tension and anticipation, the group slowly made their way through the hidden passage. A damp, aged smell permeated the air, and eerie lights flickered on the walls, as if countless eyes were peering into the darkness. The ground beneath their feet was uneven, and they proceeded cautiously with each step, afraid of triggering hidden mechanisms.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared ahead. The group quickened their pace and stepped out of the passage, only to be stunned by the sight before them. A mysterious valley unfolded before them, shrouded in a thick, white fog. The fog swirled like a veil, yet exuded a mysterious and oppressive aura, obscuring the path ahead.

"Is this the place where the power of the Di Tu Hao constellation converges?" Xiao Feng murmured softly, his voice sounding particularly muffled in the thick fog. His face was still somewhat pale, and his previously injured body had not yet fully recovered, but his eyes revealed determination and curiosity.

Jasmine took a deep breath, trying to discern the aura in the air: "That's right, the energy fluctuations here are extremely strong, resonating with the aura of the Di Tu Hao constellation. Everyone be careful, there are definitely various dangers lurking in this valley."

The group slowly entered the valley, each step taken with extreme caution. Yi Chen walked at the front, his sword slightly raised as he warily surveyed his surroundings. Suddenly, he noticed a plant in the distance shimmering with a strange light. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the plant's leaves were peculiarly pentagonal, with golden liquid flowing through its veins, emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Look everyone, this plant seems to contain special energy," Yi Chen called out to the crowd.

Jasmine stepped forward and carefully observed the plants, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "This may be related to the function of the spleen and stomach in the human body. In traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are responsible for transportation and transformation, digesting food and absorbing nutrients. The plants and animals in this valley may have a close connection with the function of the spleen and stomach."

The group continued their journey, discovering many strange creatures along the way. Some animals resembled small deer, but had patterns on their bodies similar to tree roots; some insects had wings that shimmered with iridescent colors, leaving faint halos as they flew. The actions of these creatures seemed to hint at some connection to the human spleen and stomach.

However, danger was also creeping in. Suddenly, a huge venomous spider emerged from the thick fog. Its body was more than a person's height, its eight eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, and it spewed out a stream of green venom from its mouth.

"Watch out!" Yi Chen shouted, quickly swinging his sword to block the venom. The venom splattered on the sword, making a "sizzling" sound and emitting wisps of blue smoke.

Everyone unleashed their spells, engaging the poisonous spider in battle. The spider's attacks were ferocious; its speed was incredible, darting through the dense fog with unparalleled agility. Xiaofeng channeled his spiritual energy, unleashing the "Blazing Sun Fist," charging towards the spider with blazing flames. However, the spider's exoskeleton was hard, and the flames had limited effect on it.

Just as everyone was locked in fierce combat with the poisonous spider, Mengli suddenly felt a chill creep up from behind. She quickly dodged to the side, only to see a slender black shadow shoot out from the thick fog, grazing her clothes. It turned out to be a venomous snake hidden in the fog, its body dark green, covered with tiny scales, and dripping black venom from its fangs.

Mengli cried out in terror, "This snake is poisonous! Being bitten can cause digestive problems!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several more venomous snakes darted out from all directions, lunging at the group. They were immediately caught in a predicament, having to contend with both the spiders and the snakes. In the chaos, Xiaofeng was accidentally bitten on the arm by a snake; his face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his wound.

"Xiaofeng!" Jasmine was frantic and rushed to Xiaofeng's side. She saw that Xiaofeng's arm was swelling rapidly, black spots were appearing on his skin, his breathing became rapid, and he was experiencing severe stomach pain and vomiting repeatedly.

"This venom is too potent; we must find an antidote as soon as possible!" Jasmine said.

While fending off attacks from poisonous spiders and snakes, the group searched everywhere for an antidote. However, finding the antidote in this fog-shrouded valley was no easy task.

Just as everyone was in despair, the Shadow Society appeared in the thick fog. The leader sneered, "You think you can find the secrets of the stars in this valley? How naive! Today is your death day!"

As they spoke, the Shadow Society members charged towards the group. The group was forced to fight off the Shadow Society's attacks while continuing their search for the antidote. A thrilling chase ensued in the thick fog.

While dodging attacks from the Shadow Society, Mengli accidentally tripped and fell. She scrambled to her feet and noticed a strange herb at her feet. This herb emitted a faint blue light, and its leaves had unique patterns. A thought struck Mengli; she remembered what Jasmine had said before—that the plants in this valley might be related to spleen and stomach function, and perhaps this herb was the antidote.

She quickly gathered the herbs and ran towards Xiaofeng. Just then, a member of the Shadow Society spotted her and swung his weapon at her. Mengli closed her eyes in terror, and just as the weapon was about to strike her, Yichen arrived in time and blocked the attack with his sword.

"Mengli, run!" Yichen shouted.

Mengli ran to Xiaofeng's side and fed him the herbs. A miracle happened; Xiaofeng's symptoms gradually subsided, the swelling on his arm began to recede, and the black spots slowly disappeared.

"Great! The antidote works!" Jasmine exclaimed in delight.

Inspired, the group's morale soared. They continued their fight against the Shadow Society while searching for more clues. During the fierce battle, Mengli suddenly discovered that whenever she dodged the Shadow Society's attacks, the way her body moved seemed to have a subtle connection with the trajectory of the Di Tu Hao constellation.

While dodging attacks, she carefully observed her movements and surroundings. Finally, she discovered the crucial connection between the Di Tu Hao constellation and the human body's meridians. It turned out that the power of the Di Tu Hao constellation could guide the flow of Qi and blood in the body's meridians through specific movements and breathing techniques, thereby regulating spleen and stomach function and enhancing one's own strength.

"I've discovered it!" Mengli exclaimed excitedly, "I know the connection between the Di Tu Hao constellation and the human body's meridians!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around. Mengli shared her discovery with them, and following her instructions, they circulated their spiritual energy and adjusted their breathing and movements. In an instant, they felt their blood and energy flow more smoothly, and their strength increased significantly.

With everyone working together, they finally repelled the Shadow Society. The Shadow Society members fled and disappeared into the thick fog.

"Phew... We're finally safe for now." Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

However, they knew this was only a temporary respite. Many unknown dangers and secrets awaited their exploration in the valley.

“We cannot let our guard down; we must continue our search for the secrets of the Di Tu Hao constellation,” Jasmine said.

They took a deep breath and embarked on their exploration once more. The thick fog still shrouded the area, and the road ahead was shrouded in uncertainty, but their eyes shone with determination and courage. What secret lay hidden deep within the fog?
