Chapter 667

That afternoon, the hunting team gathered at the town entrance. Chen San's green eyes looked particularly strange in the sun, Aunt Sun's medicine bag exuded a pungent smell, and Li Qinghong silently checked the bow and arrow.

Fu Shaoping briefly explained the action plan and the possible dangers, and finally said: "This action is voluntary, and it is not too late to withdraw now."

No one moved.

"Let's go." Fu Shaoping turned and walked towards the Black Mist Forest. Nangong Wan followed closely behind him. The rest of the hunting team followed and soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Lin Xiaoman and Zhao Dachui stood at the entrance of the town and watched them leave. Zhao Dachui suddenly said, "They will come back, right?"

Lin Xiaoman clenched the Yin-suppressing Talisman on his chest and said, "I will definitely do it."

In the black fog forest, the hunting team was moving forward cautiously. Chen San's ghost eyes kept scanning the surroundings: "Fifty steps to the left, there is something moving underground."

Aunt Sun squatted down and checked the ground: "These are the traces of the Xuanyin Python, and there are more than one."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinghong suddenly put an arrow on the bowstring: "In the tree!"

Everyone looked up and saw a giant python as thick as a bucket coiled on a high branch, its dark blue scales almost invisible in the dim light. Even more frightening was the abnormal fleshy crown on the top of the python's head, which was emitting a faint red light.

"Mutant," Nangong Wan whispered, "Be careful of its poisonous mist and..."

The giant python suddenly launched an attack at an astonishing speed. Fu Shaoping blocked it with his heavy sword, and amid the sound of metal clashing, the python's fangs struck the sword, creating sparks.

The battle broke out instantly. Nangong Wan quickly set up the Seven Stars Demon Locking Formation, and the starlight chains entangled the python; Li Qinghong's arrows flew out of the air and accurately hit the python's eyes; Aunt Sun sprinkled medicinal powder all around to form an anti-toxic barrier.

Chen San suddenly screamed - the python's tail swept his left leg, and the sound of broken bones was clearly audible. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping's eyes flashed with cold light, and the heavy sword suddenly glowed with black light, and he chopped the python seven inches away.

With a loud bang, the python fell heavily to the ground, but before dying, it spewed out a large amount of poisonous mist. Nangong Wan quickly made a gesture, and a golden barrier blocked everyone, but a small amount of poisonous mist still penetrated.

Aunt Sun's face changed: "This is the 'heart-eating poison', take the antidote quickly!" She quickly took out a few pills from the medicine bag and distributed them to everyone.

Fu Shaoping had already rushed to the python's body, cut open the snake's belly with his heavy sword, and took out a snake gallbladder that glowed blue: "I got it."

Nangong Wan checked Chen San's injuries: "His leg bone is broken, but his life is not in danger." She looked at Fu Shaoping, "We should go back."

Fu Shaoping nodded and was about to speak when suddenly more rustling sounds came from the forest. Everyone looked around vigilantly and saw dozens of pairs of red eyes lit up in the darkness - more mutant monsters were approaching.

"We're surrounded," Li Qinghong said calmly, "The battle just now attracted more people."

Nangong Wan quickly assessed the situation: "The formation can still last for a quarter of an hour, but it is not enough for us all to escape."

Fu Shaoping clenched his heavy sword and said, "I'll take the snake gall and leave first. You guys..."

"No," Nangong Wan interrupted him, "You take Chen San and the snake gallbladder back, and I, Li Qinghong, and Aunt Sun will cover you."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Fu Shaoping finally nodded: "Come back alive."

"Definitely." Nangong Wan smiled slightly, and the compass in his hand suddenly burst into dazzling starlight.

Fu Shaoping carried the unconscious Chen San on his back and quickly broke out of the forest with the snake gallbladder. Behind him, starlight and arrow shadows intertwined, and the sound of fierce fighting gradually faded away.
When Fu Shaoping returned to Qingyun Town with the snake gallbladder and the injured Chen San, it was already late at night. Lin Xiaoman and Zhao Dachui had been waiting at the entrance of the town, and immediately went forward to greet them.

"Where are Master Nangong and the others?" Lin Xiaoman asked anxiously.

Fu Shaoping did not answer, but handed the snake gall to the town doctor: "Prepare the medicine immediately to treat the people who are poisoned by the evil spirit."

Three days later, when the first ray of morning light illuminated Qingyun Town, three tired figures appeared at the entrance of the town - Nangong Wan, Li Qinghong and Aunt Sun supported each other, returning alive despite being covered in wounds.

Lin Xiaoman was the first to notice them and ran forward excitedly: "Master Nangong! You..."

Nangong Wan smiled weakly: "I promised to come back." She looked at Fu Shaoping who came over after hearing the news, "Mission accomplished."

That afternoon, when the hunting team gathered at the town entrance, the sky of Qingyun Town was an unnatural lead-gray. Chen San's green eyes looked even more strange in the gloomy sky, and the bloodshot on his whites looked like tiny red earthworms. He kept licking his cracked lips with his tongue, making an uncomfortable "tsk tsk" sound.

"Chen San, control your ghost eyes." Fu Shaoping patted the black heavy sword at his waist. The runes engraved on the scabbard glowed in the sun. "Entering the Black Mist Forest today is not a joke."

Aunt Sun was checking her medicine bag that was emitting a pungent smell. She looked up and glanced at him: "Did this kid go to the mass grave again last night? Using the ghost eye too much will hurt your mind. Be careful not to turn into a real ghost."

Li Qinghong stood silently by the side, his slender fingers stroking every inch of the bow and arrow, ensuring that each arrow was in the best condition. His movements were as precise as an emotionless machine, and only when he occasionally looked towards the direction of the Black Mist Forest outside the town would a trace of fluctuation flash through his eyes.

Fu Shaoping briefly explained the action plan and the possible dangers, and finally said: "This action is voluntary, and it is not too late to withdraw now."

No one moved. Lin Xiaoman and Zhao Dachui stood under the stone archway at the entrance of the town, nervously clutching the corners of their clothes. The Yin-suppressing Talisman hanging on Lin Xiaoman's chest swayed gently in the wind, and the cinnabar runes on it had faded a little.

"Then let's go." Fu Shaoping turned and walked towards the Black Mist Forest, followed closely by Nangong Wan. She held a bronze compass in her hand, and the needle on it kept shaking, pointing to the depths of the forest.

The hunting team soon disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. The trees in the Black Mist Forest were incredibly tall, and their canopies intertwined, almost blocking out all sunlight. A light gray mist filled the forest, and the deeper you went, the thicker the mist became.

"Fifty steps to the left and front, there is something moving underground." Chen San suddenly stopped, and his green pupils shrank into a thin line.

Auntie Sun squatted down to check the ground. Her skinny fingers pushed aside the thick rotten leaves, revealing the moist soil underneath. There were a few faint ridges on the soil, as if something huge had swum underneath.

"These are traces of the Xuanyin Python," Auntie Sun's voice became solemn, "and there is more than one."

Before he finished speaking, Li Qinghong suddenly put an arrow on the bowstring: "In the tree!"

"Mutants," Nangong Wan whispered, the compass needle in his hand spinning wildly, "Be careful of its poisonous mist and..."

The giant python suddenly attacked at an astonishing speed. Fu Shaoping blocked it with his heavy sword, and the fangs of the python rubbed against the sword with a sound of metal clashing. The impact made Fu Shaoping take two steps back, and his boots left deep marks on the soft soil.

The battle broke out instantly. Nangong Wan quickly made a gesture, and seven rays of starlight shot out from the compass, forming a complex array on the ground. The starlight turned into chains to entangle the python; Li Qinghong's arrow broke through the air and accurately hit the python's eyes; Aunt Sun sprinkled medicine powder around to form an anti-toxic barrier. Chen San suddenly screamed - the python's tail swept his left leg, and the sound of broken bones was clearly audible. Seeing this, Fu Shaoping's eyes suddenly became cold, and the heavy sword suddenly glowed with black light, and he chopped the python seven inches.

Aunt Sun's face changed: "This is the 'heart-eating poison', take the antidote quickly!" She quickly took out a few pills from the medicine bag and distributed them to everyone.

Fu Shaoping had already rushed to the python's body, cut open the snake's belly with his heavy sword, and took out a snake gallbladder that glowed blue: "I got it."

Nangong Wan checked Chen San's injuries: "The leg bone is broken, but there is no danger to life." She looked at Fu Shaoping and found that his hand holding the sword was shaking slightly, "Are you poisoned?"

"It's okay." Fu Shaoping shook his head, but his lips were already turning blue.

Nangong Wan grabbed his wrist without explanation, placed two fingers on his pulse point, and immediately frowned: "You still say you're fine? The heart-eating poison has already invaded your meridians!" She took out a small jade bottle from her sleeve and poured out a crystal clear pill, "Swallow it."

Fu Shaoping hesitated for a moment, and seeing Nangong Wan's eyes that would not tolerate rejection, he had no choice but to take it and swallow it. The pill melted in his mouth, and a sense of coolness instantly flowed through his body, suppressing the burning pain in his body.

"Thank you." Fu Shaoping whispered.

Nangong Wan was about to speak when suddenly more rustling sounds were heard in the forest. Everyone looked around vigilantly, and saw dozens of pairs of red eyes lit up in the darkness - more mutant monsters were approaching.
