C25 Fire Poison Cave

After hearing what Yu Xiaoqian said, Zhang Hao raised his head and looked at the night sky. He said to the two of them, "Let's find a place to rest first. We can make our plans after daybreak."

Hearing this, the two nodded their heads without any objections. After all, in this forest there were dangers everywhere, especially at night when wild beasts came out to look for food. If they dared to barge into the forest at this time of the year, they would be courting death.

The three of them moved towards a cliff. There was a cave there, which they could use as a hiding spot. The forest at night was filled with tranquility, but anyone who entered this part of the forest would know how many life and death battles were hidden behind this tranquility. The strong preyed on the weak …

The next day, when the sunlight shined over the valley once again, three figures suddenly appeared in the forest. The next day, when the sunlight shined over the valley once again, three figures suddenly flashed out of the forest.

Two hours later, Zhang Hao looked at the cave in front of him with sparkling eyes. He turned around and asked, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes." A girl's excited voice came from behind. "We'll do as you say. As long as you pick that little red flower, we'll make our move." A man's voice also said, "Don't worry, we definitely won't make a mistake."

The two people speaking were none other than Yu Xiaoqian and Wu Bing, the two people who had been together with him the night before.

Hearing this, the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched. He thought to himself, "Of course there's no mistake. I'm the one who's going to snatch the items. What can happen to you two?" However, although he thought this in his heart, he still said, "Then I'll be going, you guys be smarter. If anything happens, the first one to be unlucky will be laozi." After that, he did not waste any more time talking and rushed out all of a sudden.

Turning their gazes, what appeared before them was a cave less than two meters tall. The dark cave entrance was like a gigantic prehistoric beast crawling in it, with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey.

The ground around the cave was charred, with not a single blade of grass growing, and even some rocks had turned jet-black. A foul stench continuously emanated from the cave, causing one to feel dizzy after smelling it.

At the entrance of the cave, there were a few colorful poisonous bugs constantly entering and exiting the cave, and some of them even had huge snakes coiling around them, as if monitoring something. Not far to the left of the cave entrance was a purple plant, and as the wind blew, a red flower blossomed in the wind.

Zhang Hao's body stopped, he looked at those huge poisonous snakes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but in his heart, he scolded them all over again. Didn't they say that there were only poisonous bugs, why are there these giant snakes now?

But at this time, there was no room for him to retreat. Just as he rushed out, the huge poisonous snakes at the entrance of the cave had already discovered that someone was approaching and locked onto him with their cold gazes. As the snake's tongue flicked in and out, a fishy stench assaulted their nostrils.

Zhang Hao's pupils constricted as he stared at the incoming snakes. He roughly counted seven snakes and could not help but curse in his heart once again. He then rushed towards the seven snakes, and smacked down at them angrily while he was in the air.

"Shock the four directions." With a low growl in his heart, he used the second style of the Demon Annihilating Palm.

BOOM! An enormous Spiritual Energy surged out from his body and formed eight massive palms made of Spiritual Energy in the air. They completely enveloped the giant snakes that were charging at him in anger.

A domineering aura began to emanate from his palms, immediately repelling the seven furious serpents. Soon after, eight palm shadows landed solidly on their bodies. For a moment, it was as if the surrounding air had solidified, and immediately, a visible shockwave spread out, scraping away an inch of the ground wherever it passed.

"Hiss hiss." The seven serpents were alerted the moment Zhang Hao threw out that palm attack. They raised their heads and screamed as they retreated. However, before they could retreat, a huge palm attack had enveloped them all.

All of a sudden, they felt as if the surrounding space had solidified, causing them to stagger backwards. Then, a massive palm force slammed into their bodies, and all the bones in their bodies began to crack under that terrifying palm force!

In the next moment, the pressure on his body suddenly disappeared and a stream of energy emanated from within his body. Before he could come back to his senses, he was blasted into a fog of blood by the strange negative pressure.

Just as they were about to rush out to help Zhang Hao escape, they tried to find another way out. After all, they had told the former that there were only a few poisonous bugs at the cave entrance, but now that so many large snakes suddenly rushed out, they felt their scalps go numb for a moment.

If Zhang Hao hadn't been able to stop the huge snakes from charging towards them, then their situation today would have been dire. The two of them asked themselves, "It's not a problem to deal with three or four of these huge snakes, but there are so many of them …"

When Yu Xiaoqian thought of this, her heart twitched and she clenched her teeth. Just as she was about to rush out to help, she knew clearly in her heart that today, Zhang Hao would definitely not let them off easily because of this injury. However, just as she moved, she was pulled back by a big hand.

"Don't worry, we'll talk later." Wu Bing's calm voice rang in her ears. Yu Xiaoqian was about to explain the situation to him, but the next scene caused her to swallow the words on the tip of her tongue.

Zhang Hao leaped into the air, and a spiritual energy fluctuation that made her heart palpitate violently surged out from his body. He sent a palm strike towards those huge snakes.

BOOM! All of a sudden, he felt a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out from within. Immediately afterwards, he saw several vicious looking large snakes were blasted into a bloody mist with a single palm strike.

"Cough." When Yu Xiaoqian saw this, she couldn't help but cough. She subconsciously touched her own body, as if trying to compare her with those giant snakes. He then shook his head, looking ahead with a strange glint in his eyes.

He believed that those huge snakes were not a threat to Zhang Hao at all. At most, it would be a little troublesome because after so many life and death battles, his senses were much sharper than Yu Qianqian's. However, when he saw Zhang Hao blast those huge snakes into blood mist with his palm, he couldn't help but smack his lips.

After destroying the snakes with one palm strike, Zhang Hao didn't stop at all. He rushed towards the purple plant, grabbed it with one hand, and stomped his foot on the ground to return back to the plant.

This was because when the few large snakes had just died, he had already seen the cave entrance, and the brightly colored poisonous bugs had already started to show signs of restlessness. Clumps after clumps of densely packed poisonous bugs rushed out of the cave, and after which, they quickly chased after him, and when they saw the numbing poisonous bugs crawling towards him, Zhang Hao's heart shivered. As the saying goes, even a good man would not be able to withstand a pack of wolves.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and attack." Zhang Hao shouted angrily at the two people behind him. He didn't even realize that there was a trace of fear in his voice.

If he was fighting a life or death battle, he wouldn't even frown for a second. However, if he was eaten by these bugs, it would be a different story. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and his retreating figure became even faster.

Upon hearing his shout, Yu Xiaoqian and Huang Xiaohai both came back to their senses. They quickly took out a few branches that were soaked in fire and threw them into the cave. The three of them had spent the entire night preparing the fire.

Actually, the last time Ling'Er let him in, Zhang Hao thought of using fire to attack, but in the end, because of the matter of the fire essence, he was delayed. Now that he met with Little Qian and Little Meng, this plan could be completely carried out.

BOOM! Once the branches soaked in fire oil were ignited, the fire would quickly spread. Yu Xiaoqian and company used all their strength to throw these things towards the cave entrance.

"Bam!" Once the branches landed on the ground, they quickly exploded and orange flames soared into the air, sealing the entire cave entrance into the wave of fire. When those poisonous bugs rushed out of the cave, they were immediately set ablaze by the sudden fire from the sky. They let out ear-piercing shrieks as more poisonous bugs rushed toward the cave entrance without fear of death.

He was secretly surprised in his heart, as he did not expect this guy to have so many tricks up his sleeves. He could even think of such a damaging method, but before she could reveal the excitement on her face, Zhang Hao's roar had already sounded out in her ears, "What are you staring at? Go and find some more branches for yourself. Damn it, I was almost killed by you guys."

Wu Bing did not comment. He grinned and turned to walk into the forest. When Yu Xiaoqian heard this, she wanted to refute, but when she saw how he was eating, she could only mutter to herself, and followed him to the forest to pick up the branches. She did not want to anger this evil star, and the red flower was still in his hands.

The next day, looking at the unceasingly rising fire at the cave entrance, Yu Xiaoqian tilted her head and asked, "Is there any use in waiting like this? This has been going on for an entire day. Zhang Hao grinned, "How would I know? After those bugs die, it should be enough."

Seeing this, Yu Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and snorted: "What if those worms are hiding in the cave and do not come out?" The corner of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched. Soon after, he gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Then smoke them to death." Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqian and Wu Bing were speechless for a long time!

The thick smoke enveloped the entire valley, and could be clearly seen hundreds of miles away. A pungent smell continuously wafted out from the cave, in fact, since yesterday, there had already been no poisonous insects coming out. However, Zhang Hao had an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and couldn't let it go.

"Phew …" He suddenly stood up and said to the two who were napping not too far away, "I'm going in. You two stay here and don't go anywhere."

Upon hearing that this fella was finally going to move, Yu Xiaoqian's drowsiness immediately disappeared. She hurriedly said, "Let's go too." With that, he gave Wu Bing a kick and shouted, "What are you sleeping for, die three years earlier!"

Hearing this, Wu Bing only rolled his eyes. He stood up and said to Zhang Hao, "Since Little Qian wants to go in, then I can't stay here. The three of us can look out for each other …"
