Disaster Strikes

In front of the east gate of Taocheng, hundreds of people have gathered here.

After all, the carrying space of storage bags is limited, and it will not ignore the weight issue like natural disasters eroding storage space. Therefore, business travelers can only use traditional transportation modes to transport large-volume goods or heavy goods.

That’s not to say there aren’t more advanced storage bags.

For example, on the second floor of Xuanling Tower, a monk collected a small group of robots using high-end storage bags.

But these storage bags are relatively rare and not widely available.

Chen Mo signed up for this caravan called the Hedong Merchant Group. There were many "loose cultivators" like him. After joining the caravan, they would become its peripheral guardian force.

Therefore, the caravan is also keen to accept these casual cultivators.

Starting from the Tao City of Leilan Kingdom and heading to Daze Kingdom, you need to first cross the poisonous miasma land that stretches for hundreds of miles.

The Poisonous Miasma Land serves as the border buffer area between the Daze Kingdom and the Leilan Kingdom. Like the dangerous areas between other countries, it is a natural dangerous place left by wars in ancient times, with various dangers emerging one after another.

But the poisonous place is different from ordinary dangerous places.

During the ancient war, this place seemed to have been a gathering place for invaders. As a result, in addition to the poisonous creatures and undead creatures that are accustomed to poisonous places in the Guixu world, many metal monsters were left behind in the poisonous miasma.

These metal monsters feed on monks' magic weapons and various minerals all year round and are extremely dangerous.

Generally speaking.

After the ancient war, these metal creatures were more distributed in the ancient battlefield area on the other side of the continent. For unknown reasons, they also formed a gathering area in this area.

These metal creatures.

Once he is invulnerable, it is difficult for ordinary Qi-training monks to defeat him.

Secondly, some of these guys became infected with the death aura of this place and produced new mutants, becoming even more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

In addition, killing these creatures will not produce any resources beneficial to the monks at all. Therefore, the high-level monks of the major sects are too lazy to pay attention to these troublesome and dangerous creatures, allowing them to serve as Leilan Kingdom and Leilan Kingdom in the poisonous land. The barrier between Osawa states continues.

"With Master Chen Mo joining us on this trip, the safety of our Hedong caravan will undoubtedly be enhanced."

The caravan manager's polite words were repeated to almost every new casual cultivator, and Chen Mo didn't take them to heart.

After a while.

Chen Mo was placed near the back row by the caravan and was responsible for guarding three nearby fully loaded carriages.

Because of the long journey, Chen Mo sat on the carriage in the middle. The old man with a hunchback who drove the carriage smiled humbly at Chen Mo.

"Is this the first time for the immortal master to cross the poisonous miasma?"

When Chen Mo heard this, he had no intention of hiding it.

"how?"

The hunchbacked old man was driving the carriage, looking relaxed and carefree, without any regard for the poisonous land.

"Master Immortal, don't be nervous. Although the poisonous miasma is dangerous to outsiders, the Chamber of Commerce has actually mastered several safe routes, all of which avoid the territory of those golden-core beasts. As for the bone demons born here in response to the death energy, As well as all kinds of poisons that arise in response to the poisonous miasma, the caravan also has methods to deal with them, which can generally ensure that there is no danger. "

Hearing the old man's confidence, Chen Mo couldn't help but be surprised.

The golden core beast the other party talked about was obviously the metal monster the monk talked about, which was what was left behind by the semi-metal cyborgs on the fifth floor of the Gulan Temple after the Great Tomb Evil God broke through the world barrier.

The other party called it the Golden Core Beast, apparently because it was said that after killing these metal monsters, a metal ball would appear in the body, hence the name.

However, after a long period of research, the monks did not discover the use of this "golden core".

Seeing Chen Mo like this, the old man smiled proudly.

"However, I have been in and out of business for the Chamber of Commerce for so many years. I have had bad luck several times and encountered migrating golden-core beasts. Therefore, I have mastered a set of life-saving methods. As long as you do not wear metal jewelry, these terrifying golden-core beasts will generally not be attracted. hostility."

When Chen Mo heard this, he smiled slightly.

"Been taught a lesson."

The convoy moved forward steadily. There were about forty or fifty vehicles, and most of them were loaded with Lingzhu, a specialty of Leilan Country.

About two hours later.

"alert!"

The shouts in front made Chen Mo put away his books and instinctively look at the hunchbacked old man beside him.

The old man took a puff on his cigarette but still looked indifferent.

"It is the peripheral miasma area. After passing this miasma area, even if you officially enter the poisonous miasma area, there is generally no danger. However, you must be careful of the evil cultivators who may be hiding here. But with the strength of our caravan, we have gathered together There should be no problem with so many monks.”

Hearing what the hunchbacked old man said, Chen Mo felt relieved.

Another hour passed.

The surrounding miasma fog gradually became thinner, and the forest gradually became quiet.

The plants here are black and gray, very similar to the polluted plants in the secret realm of the Qulan Temple, and there is a faint air of decay and death.

roar.

A hoarse roar came from the front of the motorcade.

However, the team had no intention of stopping.

When Chen Mo's carriage approached, he discovered that the so-called hoarse roar was actually coming from the flowers of this strange plant. Its roots were cut off by the monk in front, and bright red juice that looked like blood flowed out. The flowers fell to the ground. Then, he let out a shrill wail.

The hunchbacked old man looked unconcerned and just glanced at it.

"This is the beauty thorn. It can imitate a woman's singing at night. Once the curious get close, they will be entangled and sucked by it. When I was young, I saw two good boys being sucked dry by this thing overnight."

Hearing the other party say this, Chen Mo nodded.

"It's really weird."

When the wheels of the carriage rolled over the cut thorn, the shrill screams were like the wailing of a woman, which made Chen Mo look at it twice.

This is probably an evil creature that has mutated after the integration of various complex environments.

Night fell.

The caravan vehicles gathered together, and a cultivator of the twelfth level of Qi training, named Jing Dong, held a wooden fish-shaped magic weapon and prayed around the caravan.

Chen Mo couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

"This is the secret weapon of our chamber of commerce to deal with those bone demons."

The hunchbacked old man knocked on the pipe and poured out the broken tobacco residue inside.

The bone demon he mentioned naturally refers to the undead creatures born under the influence of the dead air of this place, and the wooden fish-shaped magic weapon just now does seem to have some Buddhist magic weapon "exorcism and salvation" effects.

Just like that.

Chen Mo followed the caravan to the Great Swamp Country and moved forward safely.

Three days later.

As they continued to approach the border of the Great Swamp Country, the various dangers in the poisonous miasma land seemed to increase gradually.

In the muddy land, strange tentacles suddenly stretched out, as if they had been ambushed here for a long time. The caravan was caught off guard and fell into great chaos.

Chen Mo had a few more iron pieces in his hand.

Under the control of his basic telekinesis, these metal iron pieces floated up and turned into afterimages, slashing towards the strange tentacles closest to him.

Under Chen Mo's attack, the strange tentacles were split into two.

A two-meter-long fragment fell.

But this cut part, like a gecko's tail, kept jumping in the mud, throwing out smelly green liquid.

The liquid seemed to contain corrosive ingredients.

After being thrown on Chen Mo, it only made his skin itchy, indicating that his defense was reduced, but Lao Ma beside him screamed.

"Ah!!"

He kept wiping the skin splashed by the green liquid.

In a short time, this piece of skin turned into blood, and the severe pain made him roll on the ground.

"Lao Ma!"

After three days of getting along, Chen Mo and the hunchbacked old man already knew each other.

After seeing the other party's miserable state, Chen Mo hurriedly released a reverse telekinetic bullet to him, relieving his pain, and unscrewed the kettle to clean his wounds.

"Be careful!"

Lao Ma shouted at the top of his lungs to remind him.

Chen Mo, who sensed the danger, rolled on the ground with him.

Bang!

The carriage beside the two of them was smashed like a toy building block by this huge tentacle with a diameter of about half a meter and a length of at least ten meters.

Chen Mo took a breath of cold air when he saw this.

Compared with this amazingly large tentacle, the one he just killed was just a son of the tentacle.

Looking around.

There are quite a few of these giant tentacle. There are only 20 to 30 monks in the caravan, half of whom are long-term hired monks of the caravan, and the other half are casual monks. At this moment, everyone is in a state of confusion.

"Thank you very much."

The old horse who escaped had an extremely ugly face.

Chen Mo saw panic and confusion in his eyes.

"What kind of creatures are these, old horse, do you know?"

Hearing this, the old horse shook his head, his face a little ugly.

"I have followed the caravan for more than 30 years, and I have never seen this kind of gregarious creature, nor have I heard anyone else talk about it."

"Ah!!"

While the two were talking, another horseman not far away screamed miserably.

I saw another amazingly large tentacle, with the suction cup on its body surface, sucked the man and threw him into the air.

Then the top of the monster tentacle opened its mouth like a chrysanthemum and swallowed the screaming coachman in one gulp.

With a puff.

After a while of shaking, the monster tentacle shrank back into the soil.

"Old Yang!"

Seeing this, Lao Ma cried out in grief, but it was of no use.

Seeing another monster tentacle stretching out of the ground and attacking Chen Mo, he looked at the corroded iron sheet in his hand. At most, he could not hold on to kill this monster tentacle, and it would probably be corroded clean.

But at this time, he could not care so much.

While attacking the monster tentacle, he moved flexibly to dodge.

Although these monster tentacles have strong attack power and corrosive damage, they are not very flexible.

After a while.

Under Chen Mo's attack, the monster tentacle was killed by him.

And Lao Ma, who had previous experience, hid under another carriage to avoid being hurt by the corrosive liquid.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after seeing Chen Mo kill the monster tentacle.

But then he found that the soil under his feet seemed to become loose.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

He had no time to react. A big mouth like a chrysanthemum suddenly rose from the ground, and the target was the old horse hiding under the carriage. After a short scream, the wheels and wood chips flew, and the old horse disappeared without a trace.

When Chen Mo killed the strange tentacles in front of him and came back to his senses, the old horse was no longer behind him.

The battlefield was quite chaotic, with screams and strange tentacles attacking from nowhere, and the old horse could no longer be found.

"Ah."

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen Mo knew that he was probably dead here.
