Chapter 418: 234 Flying Zombies, they are all Flying Zombies! (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

These Poachers aren’t fools. When they first arrived here, they found the abyss terrifying.

No shit, a bottomless pit is scary, right?

They had also heard about the existence of the Five-Colored Lizard on the cliffs, a terrifying creature.

That made it even less likely that the group of Poachers would go down.

They’d rather go to jail than face off against a Five-Colored Lizard!

Isn’t that like sticking your head in a tiger’s mouth—courting death?

Seeing that the Poachers were adamantly unwilling to go down,

the Armed Police had no choice.

They indeed couldn’t force them to do anything.

At this point, Ye Jiuyun spoke up.

"Do you guys really not want to go down? Don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand, but once you leave here, you’re definitely going to court, and you won’t be able to avoid prison. So, if you insist on not going down, we’ll have to forcibly confine you here after we leave. You won’t be able to escape.

When you came here, you saw for yourselves the existence of Zombies. Even if there are no Zombies, there are other fierce birds and beasts. I can’t guarantee that nothing else will show up here after we leave. Then, it’ll be a question of whether you can stay alive, depending on whether they are man-eaters or not."

Ye Jiuyun didn’t say much.

He just laid out the possibilities in front of the Poachers.

It was up to them to go down or not.

Either stay up on top and be locked in place,

which means short-term, no risk, relatively safe, but no one can guarantee that Zombies or wild beasts won’t appear here.

If tigers, leopards, or Zombies show up, they definitely won’t be able to run, and once encountered, death is certain.

Or they all go down into the abyss, where the chances of survival are still relatively high.

The faces of the Poachers showed pained expressions.

What Ye Jiuyun said was right.

What if they encounter Zombies?

Even without Zombies, there are wild beasts in the deep forest.

They are empty-handed and shackled. Can they fight tigers and leopards?

Forget about it.

After struggling for a while, the Poachers had no choice.

In the end, they could only grit their teeth and say, "Fine, we’ll go down!"

Now they had no choice but to go down.

Going down might not mean death,

but staying put meant certain death!

...

The Poachers, albeit reluctantly, smeared themselves with the juice of the Hundred Needle Fruit Tree.

Then they followed everyone else, descending into the abyss with ropes.

On the cliffside, several lines of people dropped down like strings of beads along the cliffside.

"Everyone, put on your gas masks; we’re reaching the poison mist area!"

When they descended to a certain level, Ye Jiuyun shouted.

He reminded everyone to double-check their gas masks; they were about to enter the abyss’s poison mist area.

The white mist was toxic; everyone had to be very careful!

Hearing this, all the members of the exploration team became extra cautious.

They continued downwards, fully entering the mist zone.

Everything around them turned hazy.

The density of the white mist was such that one could only see things within three meters.

Beyond three meters, all was blanketed in white.

A member of the exploration team wanted to test the toxicity of the white mist.

He was curious about the level of toxic white mist emanating from the Five-Colored Lizard unique to Yunnan.

Knowing this could serve as a data reference after they returned.

The team member pulled something out of his pants.

It was a small wild toad.

It was grabbed by the young team member before descending.

He had kept it in his pants but now stretched it into the white mist.

Toads breathe through their mouth, lungs, and skin.

The toad, unaware of what was happening, continued to breathe normally,

but visibly, after the toad’s skin and mouth absorbed a small amount of the white mist,

it immediately became agitated.

Its whole body’s skin began to change color, from originally being earthy gray.

In just a few breaths, it turned multicolored.

It looked extraordinarily vibrant.

Then, the toad started kicking and suffocating on breaths.

In just a few breaths, the toad had stiffened and ceased to move.

Toad: Croak! Do you like my colorful skin? I paid for it with my life!

Dead!

It was dead!

The team member widened his eyes,

showing a shocked expression.

He looked at the multicolored toad in his hand.

He couldn’t believe that just a few breaths ago, it was still lively.

Just a few breaths, and the toad was gone.

Death came so fast.

Of course, from this, one could also see that the toxicity of the white mist was absolutely terrifying to the extreme.

At this moment, the team member recalled what Jiao Taoist, who had come down to scout from Qingyun Mountain, had said above ground.

"The mist down there is toxic, the toxicity is manageable..."

The team member was dumbfounded.

Toxicity is manageable...

You call this manageable?

This is more terrifying than VX nerve agent, one of the top ten deadliest gases.

You say it’s manageable? I’d believe anything if I believed you!

Inside the white mist zone, Professor Cao and the others saw the albino Five-Colored Lizards lurking on the cliff walls spoken of by the Jiao Taoist.

The lizards were still in their albino form.

This indicated they were not in attack mode.

Currently, they were safe.

Indeed, coating themselves with the juice of the Hundred Needle Fruit was effective.

Not a single Five-Colored Lizard attacked the people of the exploration team.

The journey was fraught with peril, but ultimately without mishap.

An hour later, everyone had reached the bottom of the abyss.

Professor Cao checked the status of everyone: "How is everyone? No one is hurt, right?"

"No problems, Professor!"
