C237 Entering the Lake
Furthermore, throughout all these years, the people of the Five Poisons Village had never been able to obtain the poison recipe left behind by Poison King. Five Poisons Village could no longer be defeated like this. Qi Zhuohao's arrival... She had used the strength of an outsider to obtain Poison King's secret formula. She didn't go against Poison King's will. As the descendant of Poison King, she knew this better than anyone else.
Looking at Grandma Tian, Qi Zhuohao slightly nodded his head, just like what Grandma Tian had said. His promise to Grandma Tian might be empty words. But... Qi Zhuohao was a man of his word. If Thousand Face Poison Man's flower wilted, there would be a descendant. Qi Zhuohao would not sit idly by and do nothing. In order to successfully obtain the Essence Congealing Liquid and break through to Huayuan, he could not care about anything else.
Of course, to Qi Zhuohao, eliminating the descendants of Thousand Face Poison Man's withered flowers was also something he should do. Nan Yudia had received the great kindness of Zhen Yulin's descendant, Qiu Niang. Thousand Face Poison Man's wilted flower was the one who killed Zhen Yulin. She was also Qiu Niang's enemy. If that day really came... Qi Zhuohao could be considered to have repaid Qiu Niang's kindness to Nan Yudia.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhuohao also thought of another descendant of Zhen Yulin. That person poisoned Nan Yudia with the intention of borrowing Nan Yudia's or Nan Yudia's family's hands to obtain the Poison Scripture. He had found Qiu Niang and killed her. That matter had to wait until the Great Desolate Mansion arrived. Qi Zhuohao had to investigate that person clearly. To Nan Yudia and Qiu Niang... Both are potential threats.
Very quickly, Qi Zhuohao swore a poisonous oath to the void. Just like what Grandma Tian had said, he did not suffer any losses. Grandma Tian had said before, even if Thousand Face Poison Man had descendants. Qi Zhuohao needed to wait until Qi Zhuohao had the ability to kill her.
In other words, when Qi Zhuohao admitted that he was not powerful enough, he would not take the initiative to provoke the descendants of Thousand Face Poison Man's wilted flowers. Qi Zhuohao also hoped that Thousand Face Poison Man's wilted flowers did not leave behind descendants. That way, everything would be settled.
"Very good. Since you have already sworn a poisonous oath, you can enter the Poison Lake at any time!"
Grandma Tian was overjoyed. The crutch in her hand finally moved from the tombstone to the ground. With Qi Zhuohao's oath, she believed that Qi Zhuohao would not dare to go against his promise to her. Of course, she would also fulfill her promise to Qi Zhuohao.
"Then I will have to thank Village Chief Tian!" Changing the topic, Qi Zhuohao continued, "By the way, Village Chief Tian, what is the situation inside the Poison Lake? Can you tell me?"
"You have some patience, kid!" Grandma Tian looked at Qi Zhuohao with praise and said, "Qi Zhuohao, this Poison Lake is the tomb of Poison King's ancestor. The Poison Lake contains corpse poison. Once a living person is infected by the corpse poison, all these years... All these years, our Five Poisons Village has been using all kinds of beasts as sacrifices to the Poison Lake to maintain the poison in the Poison Lake. It won't reduce the poison."
Grandma Tian's tone changed as she continued, "Of course, the corpse decomposing poison in the Poison Lake is not a threat to you who has the protection of the Poison Avoiding Pill. What you need to pay attention to is the Five Poisons Demonic Beast at the bottom of the Poison Lake and in the tomb chamber of the cave. Can you successfully obtain the Essence Congealing Liquid and the bronze box? It all depends on your strength!"
"Five Poisons Demonic Beast?" Qi Zhuohao was very surprised. It was normal for an outsider like him not to know the true danger of the Poison Lake in the Five Poisons Village.
Grandma Tian nodded seriously and said, "That's right. It's the Five Poisons Demonic Beast. The Five Poisons Demonic Beast was the Demonic Beast that Poison King's ancestor raised when he was alive. After Poison King's ancestor died, the Five Poisons Demonic Beast did not leave. Instead, it stayed at the bottom of the lake to protect the ancestor."
"Qi Zhuohao, the Five Poison Demonic Beast is the Seeking Blood Scorpion, Flowing Cloud Snake, Forest Centipede, Ice Spider and Hair Toad. These five great Demonic Beast are all peak First Grade Demonic Beast, because of a special reason. They have long lifespans, and their realms will never increase. They were mortal enemies. But after the guidance of their ancestors... They became friends and created a poison formation that shocked the world. "
Grandma Tian continued, "Qi Zhuohao, back then, my ancestors were able to severely injure Thousand Face Poison Man's flowers and cause them to wither. The credit of the Five Poison Demonic Beast cannot be erased, so you have to be careful. Anyone or any beast that tries to approach the body of Poison King's ancestor will be the target of their poison."
Speaking of the Five Poisons Demonic Beast, Grandma Tian felt a wave of fear. If it wasn't for the Five Poisons Demonic Beast's protection, Poison King's remains would have been taken by the people of Five Poisons Village a long time ago, and Five Poisons Village wouldn't have been reduced to a place where they could live in seclusion.
Of course, it was also because of the protection of the Five Poison Demonic Beast that Poison King's tomb was never destroyed. The name of Five Poisons Village was actually named after the Five Poison Demonic Beast by Poison King and Liu Ru.
"Village Chief Tian, do you have any ways to deal with the Five Poison Demonic Beast in Five Poisons Village?"
Qi Zhuohao asked in a very serious manner. He did not dare to doubt Grandma Tian's words. The Five Poisons Demonic Beast was already very powerful, and the Five Great Demonic Beast had combined to form a shocking poison formation. It was extremely dangerous for him to enter the Poison Lake!
"No, if there was one, my Five Poisons Village would have gotten the bronze chest left behind by our ancestor long ago." Grandma Tian shook her head and continued, "Qi Zhuohao, actually, I and the previous generations of the Five Poisons Village's village chiefs have been secretly nurturing geniuses. And... But... They would never be able to return. Sigh!"
Grandma Tian sighed. For thousands of years, for that bronze chest... The Five Poisons Village had lost countless geniuses. One should know that... The Five Poison Demonic Beast didn't care if the person who entered the Poison Lake tomb was Poison King's descendant or not, as long as it was the person who entered the cave tomb at the bottom of the Poison Lake. The Five Poisons Demonic Beast was the guardian of Poison King's tomb in the Five Poisons Village. It was also the nightmare of the Five Poisons Village!
"No! What should he do? "Qi Zhuohao was a bit depressed. He knew very well that the Poison Avoiding Pill would definitely not be able to avoid the poison attack of the Five Poisons Demonic Beast and the poison formation. He hesitated a bit, but did not rush into the Poison Lake.
Seeing this, Grandma Tian chuckled and said, "Qi Zhuohao, I heard that you can kill dozens of Essence Incarnating Expert by yourself. Even the patriarch of the Qian family in Thousand Stars County, Qian Tu, died in your hands. What happened? Are you afraid of the Five Poison Demonic Beast?"
"Chief Tian, the Five Poisons Demonic Beast is a highly toxic Demonic Beast, it's not easy to deal with it!" Qi Zhuohao did not deny it. He was really afraid. If he were to face the Essence Incarnating Expert... He did not have the slightest bit of fear, but the highly toxic Demonic Beast... That was a different story.
Grandma Tian nodded lightly. "Qi Zhuohao, I can't do anything about this. I can't help you. You have to rely on yourself."
Grandma Tian's tone was very calm. Anyway, Qi Zhuohao had promised her. Regardless of whether Qi Zhuohao could get the Essence Congealing Liquid or not, he would get the bronze box. Qi Zhuohao did not dare to go against his promise. Even if Qi Zhuohao entered the Poison Lake, would he live or die? It had nothing to do with her.
This was also a test for Qi Zhuohao that Grandma Tian had given him. If Qi Zhuohao could obtain the Essence Congealing Liquid and the bronze box, if Thousand Face Poison Man's flower wilted and there really was a descendant... If Qi Zhuohao died at the bottom of the Poison Lake... It proved that Qi Zhuohao's strength was not as powerful as she had imagined. She would just take that promise as an empty promise. Regarding the matter of Thousand Face Poison Man's flower wilting, as well as the matter of obtaining Poison King's treasure, she would think of another way.
"Forget it. If I don't enter the tiger's den, how can I obtain the tiger's cub? I must obtain the Essence Congealing Liquid!"
Taking a deep breath, Qi Zhuohao jumped into the Poison Lake. As the ripples on the surface of the Poison Lake faded away, there was no longer any trace of Qi Zhuohao. Grandma Tian did not leave. She stood on the shore of the lake with a complicated expression. Waiting for the result.
This Poison Lake was filled with corpse decomposing poison. Luckily, Qi Zhuohao had consumed the Poison Avoiding Pill. The corpse decomposing poison had no effect on him, but he was a water attribute martial artist. Using the water attribute Spiritual Force, he could easily isolate the lake water. In the Poison Lake, it was as easy as lying on the ground.
This was the water attribute Spirit Receiving Martial Cultivator's ability to avoid water. Every attribute martial artist... Just like earth-attribute martial artists. Apart from their powerful defense, earth attribute martial artists could also escape through the earth. That was something that other attribute martial artists could not do. There were nine major attributes. It could be said that each of them had their own abilities. As for Qi Zhuohao, he was a heaven defying martial artist with nine attributes all over his body!
The light in the Poison Lake was very dim. Qi Zhuohao slowly dived down to the bottom of the Poison Lake. His heart was increasingly shocked. The surface of the Poison Lake's lake was not wide. It was only about twenty Zhang wide, and the depth of the Poison Lake was... It made him deeply shocked.
This Poison Lake was over three hundred Zhang deep. This was something Qi Zhuohao did not expect. Standing at the bottom of the lake, Qi Zhuohao felt as if he was in a bottomless abyss. His suppressed emotions even showed some signs of fear.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Qi Zhuohao walked towards the center of the lake. Not long after that, a small black mountain appeared in his line of sight. The hill was 30 meters tall, and there was an open stone door in front of it.
Qi Zhuohao stopped in his tracks and walked to the front of the stone door, but he didn't dare to enter it. There was a light screen of a formation on the stone door, and it must be the formation to isolate the lake water. In other words, the stone door was the true tomb of Poison King and Liu Ru.
"There are Five Poison Demonic Beast inside. If we just swagger in like this, we will definitely be eaten by the Five Poison Demonic Beast."
Qi Zhuohao's brain operated rapidly. The strength of the Five Poison Demonic Beast... He didn't mind. He could easily kill a peak First Grade Demonic Beast. However, the poison of the Five Poison Demonic Beast itself, as well as the Five Poison Demonic Beast's combined poison formation... Qi Zhuohao couldn't help but think about it carefully.
What Qi Zhuohao did not want to face the most was to use poison people or poisonous beasts. He was confident that he could kill the Five Poison Demonic Beast, but he was also worried that he would be affected by the poison of the Five Poison Demonic Beast. That wasn't a joke. If he wasn't careful... This place would be his burial ground.
"En, Invisibility Technique!" Suddenly, a faint smile appeared on Qi Zhuohao's face. There was a mirror formation beside the Poison Lake, but there was no bottom of the Poison Lake. With his extremely pure Spiritual Force and the Invisibility Technique, even the Demonic Beast would have a hard time finding him. As long as he quickly kept the Essence Congealing Liquid and the bronze chest, he could use the Meteor Step to rush out of the tomb. The Five Poisons Demonic Beast was just a decoration.
Thinking of this, the smile on Qi Zhuohao's face became even more brilliant. Without any hesitation, he decisively cast out the Invisibility Technique. His body and aura instantly hid within the dark attribute natural elements. It was as if he didn't exist in this place at all!
After a slight attempt, Qi Zhuohao was delighted. The light screen on the stone door was indeed a formation to isolate the lake water. In other words, he could easily pass through the light screen of the formation and enter the tomb of the cave.
Soon, Qi Zhuohao stood in the tomb chamber of the cave. When he arrived here, he immediately revealed a surprised expression. This place was as bright as the outside. Obviously, there was another formation in the tomb chamber of the cave. Because he did not see anything like the Eternal Lamp or the Night-Luminescent Pearl. If this was not the effect of a formation, what else could it be?
