Chapter 226 Would you like to try it?
Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment, then walked to Jiang Mo's side, looking at the purple spring water with a strange light in her eyes.
"This water is poisonous," Jiang Mo warned.
Feng Baobao didn't say anything, but squatted down, reached out her hand, and gently touched the surface of the water.
“It’s alright,” she said softly. “I don’t seem to be very sensitive to poisons.”
Jiang Mo narrowed his eyes, observing Feng Baobao's reaction: "Really? Then let's try it, but only a small sip."
Feng Baobao nodded, scooped up a small handful of water, and took a small sip.
Jiang Mo observed her reaction intently.
If a normal person drinks the water from the Purple Nether Spring, they will convulse and foam at the mouth within three seconds, eventually dying from the dissolution of their internal organs.
However, Feng Baobao only frowned slightly, seemingly feeling a little bitter, but quickly returned to normal.
"How are you feeling?" Jiang Mo asked.
"It's a bit bitter and a bit cold, like drinking herbal tea," Feng Baobao answered truthfully.
Jiang Mo was secretly surprised.
Feng Baobao's constitution was indeed extraordinary; she drank the water from Ziyou Spring directly without any discomfort.
This can no longer be explained by simply "being resistant to toxins".
"Interesting." Jiang Mo smiled slightly. "It seems your constitution is even more unique than I imagined."
Feng Baobao looked up at Jiang Mo, her eyes filled with confusion: "What do you mean?"
"It means you might have a natural affinity for poisons, just like me."
Jiang Mo explained, "This is extremely rare among normal people."
Feng Baobao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Does this have anything to do with my background?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "Very likely."
"However, the specific answer still needs further exploration."
"Once we reach the source of all poisons, we might find more clues."
Just then, the others also woke up one after another.
Jiang Mo did not discuss this topic with Feng Baobao again.
Instead, they started organizing everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to continue their journey.
"Today we will reach the source of all poisons."
Jiang Mo told everyone, "The poisonous fog there is dozens of times denser than here, so everyone should drink another bottle of antidote."
Everyone quickly accepted the antidote offered by Jiang Mo and drank it all. Only Feng Baobao refused again.
“No need,” she said briefly.
Jiang Mo didn't insist, but simply nodded: "Okay, let's go then."
The group continued their journey deeper into the Poison Valley.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly eerie.
The plants on the ground had almost all turned black or dark purple and were distorted in shape.
Some of them even wriggle as they approach, as if they were alive.
The toxic smog in the air became increasingly dense, taking on an almost tangible dark green hue.
Even with the antidote, Zhang Chulan and Wei Duoduo experienced difficulty breathing and their faces turned pale.
"Hang in there, we're almost there."
Jiang Mo encouraged, "That black area ahead is the edge of the source of all poisons."
As everyone looked up, they indeed saw an area shrouded in thick black fog not far ahead, as if it were another world isolated from the outside world.
“That place… looks terrifying…” Wei Duoduo murmured, her voice filled with obvious fear.
“It’s truly terrifying.” Jiang Mo nodded. “That place is the source of all poisons and Gu worms, and also their paradise.”
"For ordinary people, that place is hell."
"Once you step inside, without special physical attributes or strong protection, you will die within ten seconds."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan and Wei Duoduo turned pale.
Chen Duo also seemed a little nervous.
Only Feng Baobao remained expressionless, her gaze fixed firmly on the black mist.
"So...do we really want to go in?" Zhang Chulan asked uncertainly.
Jiang Mo nodded: "Of course, but not everyone."
"Feng Baobao and I will go in; the three of you wait outside."
"Huh?" Zhang Chulan was taken aback. "Why did you only bring Feng Baobao?"
"Because only her constitution is special enough to survive in the source of all poisons."
Jiang Mo explained, "Although the three of you have the antidote, you still can't withstand the poison there."
Wei Duoduo was somewhat unwilling: "Lord Gu God, I also want to go with you."
Jiang Mo shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous."
"Listen to me, wait here. Feng Baobao and I will be back in two hours at most."
Seeing Jiang Mo's resolute attitude, Wei Duoduo had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Feng Baobao, would you like to come in with me?"
Jiang Mo turned to Feng Baobao, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "There might be clues about your background there."
Feng Baobao nodded without hesitation: "I'll go with you."
"Okay, let's set off now."
After Jiang Mo finished speaking, he took out a small bottle from his backpack, poured out a dark red pill, and handed it to Feng Baobao. "Eat this; it will enhance your resistance to toxins."
Feng Baobao took the pill, glanced at Jiang Mo, and then swallowed it.
"You three wait here, don't wander off."
Jiang Mo cautioned, "This area is relatively safe, but be careful of plants that might attack you."
The three nodded in agreement and watched Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao walk towards the black mist.
Soon, Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao were swallowed up by the thick fog and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"You think they'll be alright?" Zhang Chulan asked worriedly.
Wei Duoduo shook her head: "Don't worry, Lord Gu God is omnipotent. How could mere poisonous fog possibly harm him?"
Chen Duo, however, seemed thoughtful: "Why did Brother Jiang Mo only bring Feng Baobao in? Is she really that special?"
"I don't know about that," Zhang Chulan scratched his head. "But my brother always has his reasons, so we should just trust him."
Each of the three had their own thoughts and quietly waited for Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao to return.
Meanwhile, Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao had already ventured deep into the black fog.
The toxic fog here is so dense that it almost appears to be a solid substance.
Every step felt like walking through a viscous liquid.
"Does the poisonous fog here affect you?" Jiang Mo asked, observing Feng Baobao's condition.
Feng Baobao shook her head: "No, I just feel a little stuffy and have some difficulty breathing."
Jiang Mo nodded, becoming even more convinced of Feng Baobao's unique physical condition.
In such an environment, a normal person would not only have difficulty breathing, but would probably die if they couldn't even take a breath.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became even more bizarre.
The ground is covered with all sorts of strange plants that I've never seen before, some of which even actively attack any creatures that pass by.
Occasionally, strangely shaped insects would fly by in the air.
It was incredibly large, and its surface shimmered with an eerie light.
“Be careful of those plants,” Jiang Mo warned. “Some of them spray highly poisonous sap, and even you might not be completely immune.”
