I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 178

Chapter 178 - Phosphotoxin

"A detailed map of the Sunset Forests?" Xiang Yun stared at Luo He in disbelief.

Wasn't the Sunset Forest known as the forbidden zone that was forbidden by humans? How could there be a detailed map? Who had the ability to survey the terrain here?

"Don't worry Brother Wei, this map is useful for safekeeping. This time, I came in alone from the north side of the Sunset Forest. If it wasn't for the last incident, I wouldn't have gotten injured."

"This …" When Xiang Yun heard this, he immediately became somewhat skeptical.

Although he didn't really believe that Luo He had the map of the Sunset Forest, it was inconceivable for her to actually be able to travel all the way here from the edge of the Sunset Forest with Luo He's cultivation.

One had to know that Xiang Yun had only been able to reach this point because of the authority of the Devouring Spirit Bug. It had scared off the powerful cloud beasts that had obstructed him, otherwise Xiang Yun would not have been able to reach here even if he had been left alone with ten lives.

"There really is such a map?" Xiang Yun did not dare to confirm it either.

"What? Brother Wei still doesn't believe me?" Luo He asked playfully as she looked at Xiang Yun's skeptical gaze.

"Uh …" Xiang Yun only hesitated for a brief moment before he shook his head, "No, I believe Brother Luo He!"

In truth, Xiang Yun had already thought about this very clearly in these three days. Even if the map Luo He mentioned didn't exist, it was still impossible for them to just sit here and wait for death in this cave.

With their strength, they were like two ants in the depths of the Silvermoon Forest. No matter how meticulous their plans were, it was impossible to guarantee their success.

Back then, Xiang Yun had thought that as long as the Cloud Beast was not too powerful, he would definitely not be discovered by his improved cultivation base, which relied on the Turtle Resting Art to conceal his presence.

At that time, he could scout ahead and bring Luo He along. Even if there was an emergency, he still had four Teleportation Pills for emergency use.

Yet now, Luo He had said that he knew there were shortcuts that could be taken. Regarding this, even though Xiang Yun did not really believe it, it was naturally not a bad thing for hope to appear out of thin air.

Xiang Yun followed Luo He to the mouth of the cave. The square inch of land was still firmly attached to the cave's mouth. Luo He only had to wave her hand and the square of cloth floated into Luo He's storage ring.

Luo He was just about to move away the boulder blocking the cave when Xiang Yun called out again, "Wait a moment. I'm afraid that the cloud beasts outside have not dispersed yet. Are we going to leave now?"

These days, Xiang Yun had often heard the sound of many footsteps coming from the surroundings of the cave. The cave trembled incessantly as a result. Clearly, there were Cloud Beasts moving about in the surroundings of the cave.

However, today, he did not hear any unusual sounds coming from outside the cave.

Luo He looked at the tensed up Xiang Yun and asked, "Have you heard a sound similar to an explosion over the past two days?"

Xiang Yun was startled upon hearing this. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly nodded, "That's right, a few hours before you woke up, I seem to have heard an explosion."

Xiang Yun remembered that when he had been practicing his sword skills in the stone room, there had been an explosion from outside. Back then, when the stone from the Compass Mountain had fallen, he had come out to check it out.

"That's right!"

As Luo He spoke, she extended her hand to brush aside the rocks, revealing a cave that could fit a person.

Luo He lowered her head and was about to drill out of the stone cave, but just as she bent down, she seemed to have thought of something and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Xiang Yun.

"Mm, you can leave first!"

"Huh?"

"It's fine, I guarantee that there will be no danger." Luo He said with certainty.

Xiang Yun felt a little suspicious, thinking to himself, if there's no danger why don't you go out first, but he didn't care about that. He immediately infused his hands with Yun Li, his entire body in a state of vigilance.

In the next moment, Xiang Yun lowered his body and stomped his feet. Both of his hands pushed against the wall of the cave as he leapt forward!

The instant he suddenly shot forward, Xiang Yun moved like a gecko on a wall. He tapped lightly on the ground, his body flashing like a gust of wind, arriving behind a square boulder, concealing himself.

When he sensed that there was no unusual aura or danger in his surroundings, Xiang Yun quietly looked around. As far as he could see, Xiang Yun immediately froze on the spot in shock!

"Brother Luo Luo Luo He." Xiang Yun thought of the cave entrance and called out a few times, but no one answered.

A moment later, a black figure rushed out of the cave and came to Xiang Yun's side. Looking at the terrified Xiang Yun, the latter's expression was indifferent, a smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"What's going on? Why are all these Cloud Beasts dead?"

At this moment, atop the entire mountain …

The corpses of all kinds of Cloud Beasts varied in shape and size. Some were as tall as mountains, some were as small as insect eggs, and the bizarre shapes were dazzling.

But at this moment, all of these cloud beasts, without any exception, were completely devoid of any aura. Their bodies were covered in a strange dark green fur!

"Hehe, you've been poisoned by the yin phosphorous poison. All the cloud beasts below the general level will have a hard time escaping death."

"Yin phosphorous poison?" How could they be poisoned? " Seeing Luo He's calm expression, Xiang Yun thought back to how Luo He had been so confident in the cave and guessed that she would have expected all of this to happen.

Luo He did not hide anything and told Xiang Yun everything.

It turned out that when the Red-Eyed Red Flame Lion and the Spirit Devouring Beetle were fighting on the peak of the mountain, there were still three early stage general level Cloud Beasts nearby, looking around in hopes of sneakily attacking.

Unfortunately, when the two Cloud Beasts died, the explosive energy shockwave actually caused them to perish together!

Among these three Cloud Beasts, there was a giant python called the 'Nine Poison Yin Python'. This beast's combat ability was not very prominent among the high level Cloud Beasts.

However, the latter's astonishing 'yin phosphorous poison' made many high grade Cloud Beasts in the Sunset Forest feel fear from the sound of it, and they didn't dare to get entangled with it.

The yin phosphorous poison was a kind of natural poisonous gas of the Nine Poison Yin Python. Normally, it was stored in the poison sac in the abdomen of the Nine Poison Yin Phosphorus Python, and could be sprayed out as a gas arrow.

If a Cloud Beast with a cultivation level lower than the Nine Poison Phosphorus Python was poisoned, it would almost instantly die.

As for the cloud beasts with similar strength, if they were accidentally poisoned by the yin phosphorous poison, although they wouldn't die, they would be unable to move their cloud energy for a period of time.

At this time, the Nine Poison Yin Python had the time to kill the enemy and make them its food!

Luo He had told Xiang Yun that cloud beasts like the Nine Poison Python were very unique. The moment they found out that they were doomed to die, they would no longer spew out poisonous gas.

It quickly wrapped up all the blood and poison in its body and poured them into its own poison sac.

The latter knew that after the enemy killed him, they would devour his body. Once the enemy bit into this bag, the dense poison gas and the blood stained venom would become the most lethal weapon!

The beasts that were at the foot of the mountain eating the corpses of the other Cloud Beasts were afraid of the tyrannical auras of the Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion and the Spirit Swallowing Worm. However, as time passed, they would gradually become less afraid.

On the contrary, they were coveting the mountain. These powerful Cloud Beasts possessed an extremely powerful physical body. To them, these high class Cloud Beasts' physical bodies were definitely an extremely effective tonic that was in no way inferior to those genius treasures.

As the group of beasts began to move, some of the stronger ones took the lead and charged into the mountains, greedily biting at the bodies of the higher level cloud beasts.

The latter's carefree howls sounded like the horn for an attack. The other Cloud Beasts naturally did not want to fall behind, as they charged towards the mountain like a horde of locusts.

At the top of the mountain, the auras of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion were still suppressing them. They did not dare to act rashly, but the corpses of the three Cloud Beasts of the initial rank could not escape their doom.

Just like this, within the horde of Cloud Beasts, a gluttonous, unlucky fellow opened his huge mouth and bit down on the Nine Poison Yin Python's gigantic bag that seemed to be filled with poisonous mist!

"Bam!"

All of a sudden, the poison sac exploded, and those Cloud Beasts who were still fighting for it and were trying their best to eat another piece of the Cloud Beast's body had already breathed in the poison and fell to the ground.

In an instant, the poison mist had started to permeate into the surroundings. Following which, a Cloud Beast fell to the ground, for unknown reasons.

The explosion Xiang Yun had heard back then was the sound of the poison sac shattering. Luo He had long known of this.

Only now was he so sure that there was no longer any danger outside.

"Let's go to the top of the mountain and collect the Spirit Devouring Worms and the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion's bodies first!" "Now that the poison mist has dispersed, I'm afraid that there will be more Cloud Beasts gathering this way!"

Luo He warned Xiang Yun, who was still in a daze, before taking the lead to rush up the mountain peak. Only then did Xiang Yun hurriedly follow!

The two of them arrived at the top of the mountain and looked at the two corpses of the Cloud Beast that had been killed together. Although several days had passed, the two corpses of the Cloud Beast had not changed at all, other than their original injuries.

After all, these were high level Cloud Beasts. After cultivating for 100 years, their bodies contained immeasurable amounts of spiritual energy and clouds energy. Even if they were in a bad environment, their bodies wouldn't rot after years of cultivation.

Although they had already been dead for some time, Xiang Yun, who was standing beside the two behemoths, still felt an intimidating immense pressure, causing his forehead to perspire slightly.

However, Xiang Yun turned to look at Luo He, only to discover that the latter did not seem to be in any discomfort at all. The latter only stared at the enormous bodies of the two Cloud Beasts, extending her right index finger and gesturing in the air.

"Brother Luo He, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking at how to perfectly split the bodies of these Cloud Beasts."

"Ugh …"

High-tier Cloud Beast bodies were filled with treasures. There were main ingredients and supplementary ingredients for forging pills, as well as valuable ingredients for forging cloud artifacts.

This was also the reason why many warriors liked to kill cloud beasts and even formed hunting groups to survive.

Xiang Yun had no experience with dealing with the bodies of Cloud Beasts at all. Upon hearing this, he drew out the Wandering Dragon Sword, intending to help Luo He deal with the bodies of the two Cloud Beasts.

In the end, he stabbed the Blue Eyed Red Flame Lion's abdomen. The Wandering Dragon Sword, which was normally as hard as steel, was actually unable to even pierce through the skin.

No matter how much strength Xiang Yun had used, it would at most leave an extremely minute red mark. Wanting to split the body of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion was simply a pipe dream.

Xiang Yun felt somewhat helpless. Just as he turned to look at Luo He, she was no longer beside him.

"Swish!"

There was the sound of a sharp blade slicing through an item. Xiang Yun looked up and saw that Luo He had already climbed over the head of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion.

The latter wielded a shimmering dark green dagger in its hand. With a single stab, the dagger pierced into the back of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion!

Luo He wielded the dagger in her hand as she turned her body upside down. Her feet landed on the back of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion, and she retreated backwards while bowing.

Xiang Yun heard a loud 'chi chi' sound. The dagger in Luo He's hand was like a sharp blade slicing through cloth. With a single pull, it broke through the tough flesh and slid down to the tail of the Red-Flamed Lion.

"This dagger?" Xiang Yun was stunned. His Wandering Dragon Sword couldn't even pierce a small hole through the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion's body. As for Luo He's dagger, it was as simple as cutting through tofu.

"Hehe, my dad bought me a dagger. It's quite convenient!" As if sensing Xiang Yun's shocked expression, Luo He raised the dagger in her hand and chuckled.

Xiang Yun could only rub his nose, sighing as he said, "Your father really is rich."

To be able to slice the body of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion like tofu and call it a divine weapon was not an exaggeration. However, Luo He had only said 'quite handy'. Who knew how Xiang Yun felt at this moment?

Next, Xiang Yun could only watch from the side as Luo He dissected the bodies of the two Cloud Beasts. This time, Xiang Yun finally understood what it meant to be the savior of the ox, to have extraordinary skills.

Relying on the sharp dagger in his hand, Luo He skillfully and quickly moved about. The two Cloud Beasts' hill-sized bodies were cut apart by him, and very quickly, they were separated into several piles on the ground.

The beast skin, internal organs, claws, fangs, and horn of the Jade-Eyed Red Flame Lion were all completely separated without the slightest damage. If it were Xiang Yun, he definitely would not have been able to accomplish this.

About two hours later, the bodies of the two giants had completely disappeared from the top of the mountain.

And in the southeast direction of the mountain, in a dense forest, the storage rings of the two young men who were bowing and hurrying along were even more bountiful.
