Chapter 185 Dragon Rock Pool

"Quite a big secret."

Chu Han's voice carried a thick killing intent.

The Hunting Association was not only a cancer within the Dragon Summer Federation, but they had actually colluded with foreign enemies.

Sensing the terrifying killing intent emanating from Chu Han, both Xiao Ya and Uncle Fu's expressions changed, and they subconsciously took a few steps back.

They could feel that Chu Han's killing intent at this moment was a hundred times more intense than when he had killed Li Tian and the Slayers.

Chu Han turned to look at the mentally enslaved Hu Chi and raised his hand, slamming a palm down hard onto Hu Chi's skull.

"Bang!"

Hu Chi's skull was instantly shattered, brain matter splattered everywhere, and after his body twitched a few times, he completely stopped breathing.

Even though he had already mentally enslaved him, Chu Han had no intention of showing any mercy.

For traitors who colluded with the Japanese, he had only one word.

And that was: Kill!

"The Hunting Association, Long Feng, and those Japanese—since they dared to provoke me, not a single one of them should think about leaving the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains alive."

Xiao Ya walked up to Chu Han and said cautiously, "Mr. Chu, what did you see?"

Chu Han's expression softened slightly as he said, "I've already figured out the Hunting Association's background. Their group is nearby, within a thousand kilometers. Their leader, Long Feng, is an 8th Rank Initial Stage powerhouse. Moreover, this organization has colluded with the Japanese and betrayed the Dragon Summer Federation."

"What?!" Xiao Ya and Uncle Fu were both shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. "The Hunting Association actually colluded with the Japanese? This is simply seeking death!"

The hatred between Japan and the Dragon Summer Federation was known to everyone.

Any force that colluded with the Japanese would become the public enemy of the entire Dragon Summer Federation.

The Hunting Association's move was undoubtedly a path to self-destruction.

"It seems this Hunting Association must be wiped out as soon as possible," Uncle Fu said with a grave expression.

Chu Han asked, "Is there another Eighth-Tier Exotic Beast in the Poisonous Swamp? Those Japanese seem to be targeting that beast."

Uncle Fu was shocked upon hearing this and said, "You mean the Swamp Poison Dragon?! Only the Swamp Poison Dragon is an Eighth-Tier Exotic Beast!"

Xiao Ya was also startled. "They have a lot of nerve, actually daring to provoke the Swamp Poison Dragon. They'll definitely end up dead!"

"Oh? Is that poison dragon so powerful?" Chu Han asked curiously.

"Yes, the Swamp Poison Dragon can be called a living natural disaster. This entire Poisonous Swamp area is its territory, and its primary habitat is the Poison Dragon Pool. No one dares to go within a thousand miles of that place," Uncle Fu said.

"Could those Japanese be planning to enter the Poison Dragon Pool?" Xiao Ya said anxiously. "They might even have special means to deal with the Swamp Poison Dragon!"

Chu Han said, "There's no rush. They plan to take action tomorrow. Let's first obtain the blood poison ganoderma and dragon crystal grass, and then we'll settle the score with them."

Xiao Ya nodded in agreement. "Alright, then let's set off as soon as possible."

The three of them packed up and moved quickly toward the depths of the Poisonous Swamp.

After avoiding several waves of low-tier exotic beasts along the way, they arrived at the growth area of the blood poison ganoderma about two hours later.

This was a damp depression covered in dark red moss. A faint, sickly sweet scent filled the air, and bubbling puddles of venom could be seen everywhere. Numerous colorful giant centipedes and toads were coiled around the area; they were all 4th, 5th, and 6th-rank poisonous creatures with intense toxicity.

"This is where the blood poison ganoderma grows."

Xiao Ya pointed at the plants emitting a faint red glow deep in the depression and said, "Mr. Chu, Uncle Fu, I'll have to trouble you to clear out these poisonous creatures while I harvest the blood poison ganoderma."

"Go ahead, don't worry."

Chu Han replied, keeping a constant eye on the movements of the poisonous creatures around them.

Just as Xiao Ya touched the first blood poison ganoderma, the surrounding poisonous creatures rushed toward her like crazy.

Chu Han immediately took action, using his flame demon battle saber to slash out red Saber Qi, shattering all the incoming poisonous creatures.

Uncle Fu's body erupted with pale gray Yuan Qi. With a push of his palms, two heavy palm winds blasted toward the swarm of poisonous creatures in the depression, instantly turning dozens of centipedes into pulp.

With the two of them working together to clear the area, the poisonous creatures in the depression were quickly wiped out.

Xiao Ya took the opportunity to harvest the blood poison ganoderma.

The blood poison ganoderma was bright red all over, shaped like an umbrella cap, with its surface covered in fine patterns. It emitted a faint red light, clearly containing potent toxicity.

Xiao Ya, however, was not afraid, harvesting each blood poison ganoderma with practiced ease.

In just half an hour, she had harvested all dozen or so blood poison ganoderma in the depression without a single one being damaged.

"All done. These blood poison ganoderma are of very good quality, enough for our use." Xiao Ya returned with a full harvest, a hint of relief on her face.

Immediately, she found a relatively dry spot, took out a simple Pill Furnace she carried with her, and retrieved several auxiliary medicinal herbs from her Storage Pouch. She crushed one blood poison ganoderma, mixed it with the other herbs, poured it into the Pill Furnace, and then channeled her Yuan Qi to slowly heat the furnace.

A rich medicinal fragrance soon wafted from the Pill Furnace, dispelling the sickly sweet scent around them.

About five minutes later, Xiao Ya withdrew her Yuan Qi and opened the Pill Furnace. Inside lay a dozen or so dark red pills, emitting a faint halo.

"It's done."

Xiao Ya picked up a pill, handed it to Chu Han, and said confidently, "This pill can grant immunity to most of the severe toxins in the depths of the Poisonous Swamp, especially the miasma of the Poison Dragon Pool. It even has a certain defensive effect against the Swamp Poison Dragon's poison."

"I didn't expect Young Miss Xiao to have skills in Alchemy," Chu Han said, surprised.

Xiao Ya smiled and waved her hand. "This can hardly be called Alchemy. I'm just simply fusing a few medicinal herbs together; it's a far cry from real Medicinal Pills. It's just a small trick."

Although she said it was nothing, the expression on her face betrayed her; she was quite proud of her pill-making skills.

"I probably don't need it," Chu Han said, shaking his head in refusal.

His flames made him immune to all toxins, so he naturally had no use for such a pill.

Uncle Fu explained, "The poison within the Poison Dragon Pool is extremely fierce, a mixture of various potent toxins. Even an 8th-Rank Grandmaster wouldn't dare enter lightly without preparation. With these poison immunity pills, we'll have an extra layer of protection when we enter the Poison Dragon Pool."

"Very well, then I'll take some."

Xiao Ya divided the poison immunity pills into three portions and handed five to both Chu Han and Uncle Fu. "Mr. Chu, Uncle Fu, keep these poison immunity pills safe. Just take one when we enter the Poison Dragon Pool; the effect lasts for three hours."

Chu Han took the poison immunity pills and stored them in his space.

Having finished with the blood poison ganoderma, the three set off again, heading toward Dragon Rock Abyss.

By the time they reached Dragon Rock Abyss, it was completely dark. Under the shroud of night, the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains appeared exceptionally eerie and terrifying.

Dragon Rock Abyss was located deep within the Poisonous Swamp. The pool's water was an eerie dark green, and a layer of faint black miasma floated on the surface, emitting a pungent odor.

It was silent around the pool; not even the chirping of insects or the roaring of beasts could be heard. Only the occasional sound of the water bubbling could be heard, which was chilling.

"This is Dragon Rock Abyss."

Xiao Ya said with a grave expression, "According to the Family records, the dragon crystal grass grows in the depths of the pool. But Dragon Rock Abyss is extremely perilous. Not only is there poisonous miasma, but there's also a naturally formed bewildering formation. It's even more dangerous at night; countless Martial Artists have perished here."
