Chapter 710: Entering the Poison Forest

The cliff ridge was 50 kilometers southeast of Phoenix Town. Standing at the edge of the cliff and looking down, it stretched for hundreds of kilometers. White clouds filled the air and surrounded the peaks.

The terrain inside was complicated. Most of the trees had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. There were deep valleys, towering cliffs, and miasma that covered the sky.

Once a person accidentally entered it, even if there were no poisonous insects or ferocious beasts attacking them, it would probably not be easy for them to come out if they were unfamiliar with the terrain. It was no wonder it was called the Ghost Ridge.

Fortunately, when Xuanyuan Ce and the others entered the mountain, they left marks all the way and walked for five days.

Shen Yijia suddenly stopped in her tracks. She sniffed and frowned. “Didn’t you smell it when you came in?”

“What do you mean?” Halfway through his sentence, Chu Feng stopped abruptly and said uncertainly, “I think there’s a fragrance.”

Actually, it was no wonder that they did not notice. Back then, their group had experienced many ferocious beast attacks and were already exhausted. How could they pay attention to anything else?

Moreover, this fragrance was faint and easy to ignore.

Behind them, there was a stream that bisected the entire forest. Shen Yijia was very sure that this fragrance did not exist on the other side of the stream.

If he wasn’t wrong, this should be the poisonous forest Chu Feng was talking about.

After confirming that this was the place, the group returned the way they came and found a nearby cave. They scattered some insect repellent powder outside the cave and asked South Wind and Thirty Thousand to guard Xuanyuan Ce and the two Demon Guards in the cave. The remaining people entered the poisonous forest again.

The poisonous forest was abnormally quiet. All they could hear was the sound of feet stepping on dead branches and leaves.

Animals had the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. No wonder Chu Feng said that they couldn’t find prey here.

“There.” Chu Feng pointed and exclaimed.

Shen Yijia looked in the direction he was pointing. Not far away, there was a shrub as tall as an adult man. Red wild fruits hung from the shrub.

The wild fruits were the size of a child’s fist and were lantern-shaped. Needless to say, they were quite beautiful.

Shen Yijia picked one and played with it in her hand. She clicked her tongue in wonder and said, “You dare to eat it without knowing what it is? You’re great.” She gave him a thumbs up.

Even she knew that the more beautiful something was, the more dangerous it was. Chu Feng still dared to eat it. His courage was commendable.

Chu Feng scratched his head awkwardly. “I can’t starve to death, right?”

He would starve to death if he didn’t eat it, but he might not die if he ate it. He naturally had to take a gamble.

“Alright, pick some and send them back.” Song Jingchen picked a few as he spoke.

Chu Feng was stunned. “What about you?”

“Of course we have to continue looking for the Valley of Heavenly Secrets Shen Yijia said matter-of-factly.

With that, she picked up the lantern fruit and wiped it on her body before eating it.

“Why is it so sour?”

As expected, even if good-looking things were not poisonous, they might not be delicious!

However, it was better than being poisoned. She frowned and finished the entire meal. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of water to wash away the sour taste. Thinking of something, she blinked and looked at Song Jingchen. Her face was filled with words. “Hurry up and eat.”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and took a bite. He tried his best not to show an expression that would damage his image.

Seeing that he was struggling to hold it in, Shen Yijia could not help but laugh.

It turned out that her beautiful husband had something to be afraid of.

“Hubby, you have to finish the entire thing.” As she spoke, she winked at MO

Yuan. “Right, MO Yuan?”

MO Yuan swallowed expressionlessly. “Yes.”

Song Jingchen was speechless.

Thinking of his bitter experience, Chu Feng distanced himself from the three of them and said seriously, “Why don’t we go together when His Highness wakes up?

His Highness did not want Miss to take the risk, so he did not tell her the truth. If he knew that Shen Yijia had gone to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets herself, he would probably be worried.

Shen Yijia waved her hand. “We’re going to save people, not to play. Hurry up and send the things back. If you don’t detoxify them, we’ll really have to attend a banquet.”

Although he didn’t know what the banquet had to do with not detoxifying the poison, Chu Feng still understood that he couldn’t delay any longer.

In the end, Xuanyuan Ce was his master. If anything happened to Xuanyuan Ce, even a hundred heads would not be enough to save him. Therefore, Chu Feng did not dare to dawdle anymore. He packed a bag of lantern fruits and ran back..
