The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 938

Chapter 938: Chapter 935: Fire Poison Spring Chapter 938: Chapter 935: Fire Poison Spring Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian traveled incognito on a flying boat until, in the evening of this very day, they spotted an island shrouded in five-colored rosy clouds.

The island was not small in area, with broad wings on both sides and a narrower middle region. At its southern end extended two slender peninsulas, which, from afar, resembled a vivid and colorfully patterned butterfly.

The two took the boat towards the narrow peninsula extending from the southern tip of the island. Before reaching it, they both simultaneously furrowed their brows.

“Such a dense miasma, and it seems to be quite toxic,” Shen Luo said, frowning.

“Keep an Elixir Pill of the Ten Aromas Revival Pill under your tongue and it will ward off most of the poisonous mist, so there's no need to be constantly on guard,” Bai Xiaotian passed over a White Jade Bottle and poured a melon seed-sized elixir pill for Shen Luo.

Shen Luo pinched the elixir pill under his tongue, feeling a slightly astringent taste spread through his mouth. Suddenly, as if a cool breeze rushed into his mind, he shuddered.

The two jumped down from the flying boat, and as their feet touched the ground, they instinctively felt a slight tremble beneath them. Looking down, they realized the extended long islands were actually dozens of green-black vines braided into each other.

“Nevermind anything else, the rampant miasma and densely vegetated ghostly appearance alone give me an eighty percent certainty that this is Colorful Cloud Island,” Bai Xiaotian said with a laugh as he shook the vines floating on the water's surface beneath his feet.

“Let's go up and see,” said Shen Luo, and immediately headed toward the island.

The island's soil was rather loose. Apart from the pervasive miasma, the surroundings were indeed lush with vegetation, giving off a vibrant look.

However, there were no roads at the place where they landed; it looked like a primitive jungle. When Shen Luo released his Divine Sense to scan the vicinity, he found several demons carrying spiritual power fluctuations, though most of their energies were not very strong.

As they threaded through the densely intertwined vines, a rustling “sasha” sound of leaves rubbing against each other suddenly came from ahead. Shen Luo's eyes flashed and he immediately exclaimed, “Be careful!”

No sooner had his words fallen than a fire-red python as thick as the mouth of a bowl burst out from the mountain forest. As it neared them, it suddenly opened its blood basin-like mouth and spewed out a yellow mist, thick with the scent of sulfur.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian scrambled to dodge, while ancient trees along the path snapped with “crack” sounds, toppled by the large python, as if plowing furrows on the ground and carving out a passageway in the forest.

However, the fire-red python seemed to have no interest in Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian; it hastily slithered past them and plunged into the depths of the forest.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other, momentarily stunned in place.

“Bai Xiaotian, since we can't seem to find our way around, why don't we just follow the path the Fire Python has trampled out? It seemed in such a hurry; there must be a reason,” Shen Luo suggested.

“Sure, following the path it made is better than blindly making our way through the forest,” Bai Xiaotian snapped open his folding fan and nodded in agreement.

Having come to a decision, they quickly followed the direction where the Fire Python had vanished.

Halfway there, Shen Luo suddenly noticed a leafless, translucent white flower budding among the wild grass on the roadside, still poised to bloom and obviously not yet matured.

He stopped and bent down for a closer look, his pupils constricting suddenly, revealing his surprise.

“What's wrong?” Bai Xiaotian, noticing his actions, immediately asked.

“It's nothing. I just discovered a young Ghost-cutting Grass, and now I realize that the plants surrounding it are all Moon-watching Grasses,” Shen Luo explained.

“Moon-watching Grass, Ghost-cutting Grass… are these all spiritual medicine?” Bai Xiaotian asked immediately upon seeing this.

“You could say they're Spirit Grass, or that they're poisonous herbs as well; either would be correct. However, if you look at these petals and veins, they all have some fire-red lines growing on them, which clearly indicates that their toxicity is somewhat stronger.”

As Shen Luo spoke, he leaned in to sniff a leaf of the Moon-watching Grass and immediately furrowed his brow, almost coughing out loud from the pungent scent.

“It seems that this Fire Python is also rather unusual. There is most likely a Fire Poison Spring nearby.” He said while rubbing his nose.

“Fire Poison Spring?” Bai Xiaotian asked in surprise.

“That's a spring eye brimming with fire poison. The overflowing poisonous gas has attracted that Fire Python. Over time, it has also influenced the growth of the various kinds of spirit grass here. To have such a strong influence, it must be an extraordinary Fire Poison Spring, and there are probably special Poisonous Herbs growing around it. It's worth trying our luck there. The question is, can your Ten Aromas Revival Pills suppress it?” Shen Luo said.

“Why wouldn't they be able to suppress it? It's just a bit of Earth's lung fire poison, what's there to be afraid of?” Bai Xiaotian said indifferently, waving his folding fan casually.

“That's good then.” Shen Luo nodded and continued on their way.

After about half an hour, a cave the size of a jar mouth appeared under an ancient tree in the dense forest ahead. The traces left by the Fire Python also ended here, vanishing without a trace.

“The temperature here is already much higher than the places we've passed before, and there's a wave of scorching breath coming from this cave. It seems we are not far from that Fire Poison Spring,” Shen Luo commented.

“Not just 'not far'; we're almost there,” Bai Xiaotian said, pointing to the sky above the forest in front of them.

Shen Luo followed Bai Xiaotian's gaze and saw a layer of red mist condensing in the void several hundred feet ahead, resembling a cloud, yet it was only about ten or so feet high, not even taller than many of the treetops.

The closer they got to that area, the more intense the scent of burning sulfur and saltpeter in the air became.

Just then, a pleasant singing voice suddenly came from the mountain forest ahead, sounding like a folk tune from somewhere. Although Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian did not understand the exact content of the song, the light and cheerful voice made them genuinely feel delighted.

“There are people…” The two exchanged a look and said in unison.

The presence of people meant that this place was definitely not an uninhabited wilderness. As for whether it was Colorful Cloud Island and whether Daughter Village existed, they would find out by asking.

The two of them immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards the source of the sound.

When they neared the area, Shen Luo stopped Bai Xiaotian with a hand and warned in a mental voice, “The poison barrier here is already quite thick. Whoever is active and singing over there is probably not an ordinary person. We better be careful.”

Bai Xiaotian agreed completely, and both of them concealed their Qi, suppressed the fluctuations of their Mana, and stealthily made their way towards the sound.

When they arrived at the edge of the dense forest and pushed aside some bushes to look inside, they saw a pool about seven to eight feet in diameter. The contents of the pool were a fiery red, like lava, violently churning and bubbling with large white bubbles.

“Bai…” Shen Luo was about to speak when he felt a burning sensation in his throat.

When he turned to look at Bai Xiaotian, he found that he was standing there, staring straight ahead, eyes locked on the scene in front of them, having forgotten to wave his fan, as if he had been frozen in place.
