Chapter 179 Blood Bait Flower Acquired

Chu Han was also surrounded by a massive swarm of poison mosquitoes, and flames suddenly erupted from all around his body.

Like a volcanic eruption, a vast amount of fire instantly swept out, forming a massive protective flame shield.

The Flame Gods Fire could incinerate all things, making it the perfect natural counter to such venomous creatures.

The pouncing Essence-Devouring Poison Mosquitoes emitted shrill screeches the moment they touched the flame shield; their bodies were instantly ignited, turning into clumps of black ash without even a chance to struggle.

Chu Han expanded the flame shield outward, enveloping everyone within it.

The flame shield radiated a scorching temperature like a miniature sun, with a terrifying heat of millions of degrees emanating from it, instantly incinerating the surrounding miasma and pollen.

"We're safe..."

Feeling the warmth and security brought by the flame shield, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing the relief of having survived a disaster.

Xiao Ya looked at Chu Han's back, her beautiful eyes filled with shock; Chu Han had saved them from a desperate situation once again.

This flame technique was incredibly terrifying, enough to make one's blood run cold.

"Go!" Chu Han shouted. The flame shield acted like a mobile fortress, rapidly advancing toward the exit of the Netherworld Miasma Valley.

Along the way, the Essence-Devouring Poison Mosquitoes were incinerated one after another, and the pollen toxins could not penetrate the fire barrier. Under the protection of the shield, the group's path was completely unobstructed.

Half an hour later, the group finally rushed out of the Netherworld Miasma Valley and reached a safe area outside the valley.

Once they were away from the toxic amplification of the Netherworld Miasma Valley, the strength of the Essence-Devouring Poison Mosquitoes dropped significantly, and their ferocity subsided as well.

Chu Han retracted the Flame Gods Fire, and Xiao Ya, Uncle Fu, and the others immediately struck, completely repelling the remaining poison mosquitoes.

"Phew..."

The group collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath, their faces etched with exhaustion.

The two crises just now had nearly exhausted their Qi. If not for Chu Han's intervention, they would likely have already met their end in the Yellow Springs.

Only Chu Han appeared completely unharmed, and his consumption did not seem to be significant.

"Mr. Chu, we truly owe it to you this time! If you have any needs in the future, as long as the Xiao Family can do it, we will certainly not refuse!" Xiao Ya thanked Chu Han.

Chu Han waved his hand, his tone indifferent. "We are in a partnership; it is only right that we look out for one another."

He looked toward the Netherworld Miasma Valley and said, "Now that the Netherworld Miasma Valley has undergone an anomaly, the location of the blood bait flower might have been affected."

What he cared about most was still the blood bait flower.

After all, the blood bait flower was an indispensable key auxiliary material for refining the green lotus pill.

Hearing this, Xiao Ya hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Mr. Chu, leave the matter of the blood bait flower to me! The Blood-colored Mud Pit where the blood bait flower is located isn't far from here. Although the Netherworld Miasma Valley has changed, the environment of the Blood-colored Mud Pit is relatively stable."

"Once we finish resting, I will immediately take you to the Blood-colored Mud Pit. Even if we encounter danger, we will do our best to help you pick the blood bait flower!"

Uncle Fu also nodded in agreement. "That's right, Mr. Chu. The Beastss in the Blood-colored Mud Pit are at most at the 6th Rank Initial Stage. With your strength and our assistance, picking the blood bait flower will be no problem at all."

Chu Han's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded. "Mm, if the situation inside the valley returns to normal, I want to go pick the blood bait flower at the first opportunity."

"No problem," Xiao Ya nodded in agreement.

"We'll find a safe place to rest for the night first to recover our Qi, then head to the Blood-colored Mud Pit tomorrow morning."

Everyone agreed unanimously.

Uncle Fu and several subordinates scouted around and soon found a relatively safe spot in a stone forest not far away.

The terrain here was higher and the miasma was thin, making it a good place to set up camp.

The group quickly set up simple tents, and Xiao Ya's subordinates brought out Healing Pills and Qi recovery pills to distribute to everyone.

As night fell, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains became silent, with only the occasional roar of an Beasts piercing the tranquility of the night sky.

Xiao Ya walked over to Chu Han's side, handed him a flask of water, and said softly, "Mr. Chu, would you like something to eat?"

Chu Han took the flask and thanked her. "No thanks, I'm not hungry."

Xiao Ya sat down beside him, looking at the stars in the night sky, and said softly, "Mr. Chu, your strength is so formidable, and you possess so many mysterious and unpredictable methods; I imagine you don't come from an ordinary background?"

Chu Han gave a faint smile. "I'm just an ordinary student, currently studying at Capital Martial Arts University."

Seeing that Chu Han intended to hide it, Xiao Ya didn't press further, only giving a meaningful smile.

If Chu Han were an ordinary student, then wouldn't everyone else be trash?

Early the next morning, Uncle Fu had already gone to the Netherworld Miasma Valley to check things out.

Just as everyone finished breakfast, Uncle Fu returned, saying excitedly, "Young Miss, Mr. Chu, the Netherworld Miasma Valley has returned to normal."

"Excellent, then we'll head to the Blood-colored Mud Pit today to help Mr. Chu find the blood bait flower," Xiao Ya said excitedly.

The group packed their gear and set off toward the Netherworld Miasma Valley.

Stepping into the valley again, it was indeed as Uncle Fu had said; the miasma had become thin, and the pollen toxins in the air had vanished without a trace.

"Everyone be careful and stay alert," Uncle Fu reminded them, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

Even if the anomaly had disappeared, one could not lower their guard.

The group quickly arrived at the site of yesterday's blue flower sea, only to find that the scene before them had long since changed.

The poison orchids, which were originally breathtakingly beautiful, had now all withered and turned black. Their petals were curled and had lost their former luster, looking as if they had been scorched by a fierce fire, emitting a faint burnt smell.

"What happened? They were fine yesterday, how did they all wither overnight?" one Martial Artist exclaimed.

Uncle Fu crouched down and carefully examined a withered poison orchid, his brow furrowed. "These poison orchids didn't wither naturally; it looks like their vitality was forcibly stripped away by some powerful force. Could it be caused by yesterday's miasma anomaly?"

Chu Han also stepped forward and sent his Mental Energy into the ground, sensing a trace of weak, cold energy remaining in the soil, much less than there was yesterday.

He thought to himself, "It seems the anomaly in the Netherworld Miasma Valley was no accident."

"Forget it, the poison orchids have already withered; there's no use lamenting. Let's head to find the blood bait flower first," Xiao Ya said.

The group quickened their pace toward the Blood-colored Mud Pit.

According to Xiao Ya's guidance, the Blood-colored Mud Pit was located in the deepest part of the Netherworld Miasma Valley.

After the group had traveled for an hour, a vast quagmire appeared before them.

The water in the quagmire presented a strange blood-red color, like congealed blood. A layer of faint blood mist floated on the surface, emitting a dense smell of blood and life force.

"This is the Blood-colored Mud Pit; the blood bait flower grows on the silt in the center of the quagmire."

Xiao Ya pointed to the center of the quagmire, where several sparse, blood-clot-like red flowers were growing. Their petals were layered and emitted a faint red glow—it was exactly the blood bait flower!

"Finally found it!" A flash of joy crossed Chu Han's eyes. The blood bait flower was his primary goal for this trip to the Poisonous Swamp, and now he had finally seen it.

With a flash of his figure, he was already above several blood bait flowers.

He aimed his palm at the blood bait flowers and used a Void Realm suction; several blood bait flowers flew out of the quagmire and into Chu Han's hand.

He then placed the blood bait flowers into a specially made jade box to prevent the medicinal properties from dissipating.

In just one second, he had already picked seven flowers, which was enough for refining the green lotus pill.
