"Miss Yun Luo, there are too many poisonous creatures and beasts here, will the Black Poison Gu King be ahead?"

Thunder God's gaze turned to Yun Luo and asked.

"Yes."

Yun Luo nodded affirmatively; as they ventured deeper into the rainforest, the information Little Black transmitted to her increased, and she was confident the Black Poison Gu King was just ahead.

"Though there are many poisonous insects and beasts here, posing lethal danger to ordinary people, for a Gu Master, this place is a treasure trove where various poisons can be used to cultivate Poison Gu."

Yun Luo explained.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded. The group had been attacked, except for Yun Luo, who was not attacked by any poisonous creatures. It seemed these creatures also feared Yun Luo.

Currently, the group continued forward, and around them, the hidden poisonous creatures became more numerous. Some even showed signs of being demonized, with strong attack power.

On a large red leaf, a fiery red toad lay quietly, its small eyes fixed on Qin Yang and his companions, readying itself for an attack.

"A Fire Toad?"

Qin Yang glanced at it. When he visited the Celestial Sword Pavilion, he had been poisoned by a Fire Toad and only recovered after taking the Seven-leaf Ice Lotus. As he prepared to kill it, Yun Luo's voice came from behind.

"Hold on, Young Master Qin Yang."

Yun Luo said.

"Hmm?"

Qin Yang turned back to Yun Luo.

"The poison of this Fire Toad is not weak and quite suitable for Little Black to consume."

Yun Luo said.

Qin Yang looked at the black spider on Yun Luo's shoulder. The spider was seven to eight times smaller than the Fire Toad, but could it devour that Fire Toad?

Whoosh~!

The entirely black spider spat a thread of silk that adhered to the large red leaf, retracting it, and landed on the red leaf.

Seeing that a spider far smaller than itself dared stand on its territory, the Fire Toad moved forward two steps, its long red tongue lashing out to prey on the black spider.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

The black spider didn't move but emitted a large amount of white spider silk from its mouth.

Within seconds, it wrapped the Fire Toad in silk, which evidently contained venom. The Fire Toad barely struggled. The black spider perched on it, quickly devouring it entirely, though its size didn't change, and it returned to Yun Luo's shoulder.

Seeing this, not only Qin Yang but everyone had a touch of astonishment in their eyes.

In fact, the Gu's appetite is astonishing; it can devour many toxic creatures and has a long lifespan. A powerful Gu can be passed down through seven or eight generations of Gu Masters, surviving hundreds or even a thousand years without dying.

If a Gu Master raises a Gu without any special abilities, it belittles the witchcraft and Gu skill of Miao territory.

Witchcraft originated from ancient times, mysterious and profound. Gu technique stands alongside it naturally with extraordinary facets; consuming a Fire Toad seven to eight times its size to this black spider is merely a snack.

The group continued forward, during which the black spider devoured dozens of toxic creatures, still the size of a quail egg, with no change.

More than an hour later, the group of seven gradually reached the depths of Wild Elephant Rainforest. Though they were all experts and unhurt, the unknown poisonous creatures exhausted the group.

The trees ahead grew sparse, and the view widened. In the distance, a wooden hut appeared in the seven's line of sight.

"There's someone indeed; the Black Poison Gu King must be there."

Murong Xuan's pupils narrowed, a trace of anger in his eyes. A snake had almost bitten him from underground while pursuing the Black Poison Gu King, and dealing with toxins fatigued him. Murong Xuan tapped his toes on the ground, quickly approached the wooden hut, to resolve the King and swiftly leave this damned tropical rainforest.

The others followed suit.

Outside the hut were towering trees, known as Poison Arrow Wood. Poison Arrow Wood, alias Death upon Blood Contact, is highly toxic; its sap paralyzes the human heart upon contact with wounds, causing suffocation.

The seven stood beneath several Poison Arrow Wood trees, Murong Xuan the foremost, preparing to blow open the wooden door with his palms.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

From the emerald leaves of Poison Arrow Wood, nail-sized red spiders dangled by silk, like hanging ghosts, swiftly dropping.

There were hundreds.

"Not good, everyone retreat quickly."

Seeing the red spiders, Yun Luo's face changed, she cried softly.

Thunder God and others didn't understand but retreated back swiftly.

"What are those ghastly spiders? They are repulsive."

Murong Xuan's face turned cold; he didn't retreat much, condensing inner power in his palm to strike the hundreds of red spiders.

"Retreat now!"

Seeing Murong Xuan's action, Qin Yang's face slightly changed, sternly shouting as his divine sense detected strong fire energy within the red spiders.

Boom~!!!

When Murong Xuan's palm with inner power struck, the silk broke, and hundreds of red spiders exploded mid-air instantly, creating a massive blast shaking the Poison Arrow Woods and igniting a towering fire wave.

The fire wave spread wildly; Murong Xuan, the last to retreat, opened his Ancient Black Iron Fan, shielding his face, and fought the fiery blast back.

The explosive fire wave quickly subsided; after ten breaths, it dissipated, leaving the grassland with some flames still burning, but as humidity was heavy, they gradually extinguished.

"Cough, cough..."

Murong Xuan looked disheveled, his hair and clothes slightly scorched and blackened.

The others retreated quickly, barely affected.

"Damn it."

Murong Xuan showed anger on his face; everyone else fared well but himself, feeling utterly embarrassed.

"Sister Yun Luo, why did those little spiders explode?"

Teng Feng showed surprise on his face; luckily, he was at the back, sparing him from the fiery ordeal.

"That was 'Gu Burst,' a technique used by Gu Masters. Under control or when someone intrudes within certain proximity, the Gu can explode for offense or warning."

Yun Luo explained.

"So, the Black Poison Gu King is inside that hut."

Thunder God spoke solemnly, eyes fixed on the little hut.

Boom!

As Thunder God's voice faded, the hut's door exploded open.
