Ning Beichen stepped on bones, which made a crunching sound, and walked towards the Fugu Hua with some excitement.
Soon, Ning Beichen arrived in front of the Fugu Hua. He looked at the Fugu Hua, which was as long as a human face, lifelike, with eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
At first glance, it really looked like a human face, giving a very eerie feeling.
Although Ning Beichen knew what Fugu Hua looked like, it was also the first time he had truly come into contact with it. He still felt quite shocked. There were probably not many such things in the world.
Ning Beichen opened his backpack and took out a metal box. This kind of box was equivalent to a small refrigerator, which could preserve the medicinal properties of medicinal materials intact without loss.
Ning Beichen took out a small shovel and began to carefully dig up the soil around the devil flower. He needed to take the Fugu Hua back intact, preferably without losing a single root.
It was not that he was afraid of losing medicinal properties, but that he wanted to take it back for Liu Yilin to study, to see if he could find something that could replace the medicinal properties of Fugu Hua through other means.
However, the moment Ning Beichen touched the Fugu Hua, a puff of pollen spores scattered. Even though Ning Beichen had blocked his breathing, these pollen spores could still enter his body through the pores of his skin.
Immediately, Ning Beichen's eyes turned red, and a mad emotion surged in his heart, making him want to destroy everything, including himself.
But at this moment, Ning Beichen's Du Ku Hai Bi An cultivation immediately started to operate automatically, eliminating all the pollen spores and allowing Ning Beichen to quickly return to normal.
Although the process seemed to be long, it actually only took a moment. From the pollen spores affecting Ning Beichen to the operation of the Du Ku Hai Bi An cultivation technique, it was completed almost instantly.
After Ning Beichen regained his consciousness, he was greatly shocked in his heart.
He never expected that he, who was known as the strongest person in this world, had almost fallen victim to it just now. It could be seen that the level of martial arts did not determine his fate to be the strongest in this world. If he had been careless, he might have ended up selling salted duck eggs.
But what Ning Beichen did not expect was that the Du Ku Hai Bi An cultivation technique he practiced was so effective that it could even eliminate the pollen spores of Fugu Hua. This made it no wonder why this deep pit was filled with bones.
It was not because this was a feng shui treasure land, but because everyone died from the pollen spores of Fugu Hua. Even he was affected, let alone other people and animals.
After Ning Beichen dug out the Fugu Hua, he put it intact into the metal refrigerated box and then continued to search for the second Fugu Hua.
It was not that Ning Beichen was greedy. Natural treasures were really too rare nowadays. If he could find more, it would not only be for Liu Yilin to study, but also to save more people.
Not to mention anything else, this place was not accessible to ordinary people. If Ning Beichen did not have the Du Ku Hai Bi An cultivation technique, even he would have been affected, let alone others.
However, Ning Beichen was very lucky. He soon found the second Fugu Hua, and this second Fugu Hua was even larger and more perfect than the first one.
With the previous experience, this time Ning Beichen automatically activated the Du Ku Hai Bi An cultivation technique. As expected, the pollen spores of Fugu Hua could no longer affect him, and he easily collected it.
Next were the third and fourth Fugu Huas, which he also found luckily. However, while digging up the fourth Fugu Hua, Ning Beichen was ambushed by a venomous snake.
But it was discovered by Ning Beichen in advance, and the snake's head was smashed, so there was no danger.
Several hours later, Ning Beichen came out of the deep pit with satisfaction. He had found a total of twelve Fugu Huas inside, which also made Ning Beichen understand why the local indigenous people were so wary of this place.
It was not that there were any devils here, but the pollen spores of Fugu Hua had stimulated the people who entered this place, making them all go mad.
Although some lucky people escaped, the pollen spores of Fugu Hua had already entered their bodies and dissolved in their blood. Even if they escaped from this place, they would still not be able to survive in the end.
These indigenous people did not know these things. Seeing that the people who entered either died or went mad, they naturally thought that there were devils inside, and that those who entered were punished by devils.
However, in a way, the indigenous people were not wrong. The Fugu Hua inside was actually called the Devil Flower, so it was understandable to say that there were devils inside.
At this time, the guide Ning Beichen had hired was still outside. He had not left, but seeing that Ning Beichen had not come out for such a long time, he had already concluded that Ning Beichen was in great danger.
Just as he felt regretful and fortunate that he had not gone in, he saw Ning Beichen swaggering out from inside, which immediately stunned the guide.
"You... you didn't encounter any devils inside?"
The guide asked in surprise with a broken and unfluent language.
"There are no devils inside, but there is some poisonous miasma. You should not go in in the future."
Ning Beichen patted the guide's shoulder and said.
He naturally would not tell the guide everything about the situation inside. First, it was indeed very dangerous inside, and Ning Beichen did not want them to go in and lose their lives.
Second, there were still some young Fugu Huas inside that Ning Beichen had not picked, and he did not want them to go in and ruin them.
"Let's go, Zebra."
Ning Beichen said to the guide. The guide's name, when translated, was too complicated, so Ning Beichen simply gave him a name that sounded similar to his own and called him Zebra.
"Okay, sir."
The guide saw that Ning Beichen was not blaming him for worrying, and it eased his uneasiness and trepidation.
"By the way, Zebra, do you know if there are any other dangerous places in the Amazon rainforest besides Devil's Forest?"
Ning Beichen had traveled so far, and he did not want to leave so soon.
Moreover, besides Fugu Hua, there were still several medicinal materials on his list that he had no leads on. He wanted to see if he could continue his good luck here.
"I do know of another dangerous place, but it's quite far and requires a wooden boat to get there."
After all, Zebra had received Ning Beichen's money, so he naturally served Ning Beichen diligently.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time. Zebra, if you can take me to those places, I will pay you more."
Ning Beichen said to Zebra.
Anyway, Ning Beichen was not short of money at all. The sale of elixirs had made him and Liu Yilin earn a lot of money.
