Chapter 1039: Chapter 1056: Miasma [3rd Update]
In the depth of his heart, Elder Yu vowed silently, should anything happen later on, he must regain his face!
After a brief rest, everyone set off again, continuing to venture deeper into the forest.
Time flew by quickly, and before they knew it, half the day had passed, with the sun already setting.
The sky gradually plunged into darkness, as Ye Feng and the others trudged slowly through the forest.
At this moment, a fog began to rise ahead, and Huang Chen exclaimed, "What a thick fog up ahead!"
Indeed, less than twenty meters ahead, thick white mist enveloped the area, so dense you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.
"Don’t panic!" At this moment, Elder Yu shouted loudly.
"What’s wrong?" Hearing Elder Yu’s words, everyone grew tense.
Elder Yu frowned and said, "What’s ahead probably isn’t just mist, but miasma, and it’s poisonous!"
"Poisonous!" Upon hearing Elder Yu’s words, anxiety appeared in everyone’s eyes.
They knew that this poisonous miasma could be deadly, unlike the black bugs which, although toxic, weren’t fatal. Everyone frowned as they realized they had to get through the poisonous mist.
They could clearly see the miasma slowly creeping towards them, and in ten minutes or so, it would reach where Ye Feng and the others were.
"Elder Yu, what should we do now?" Huang Chen and his subordinates looked at Elder Yu in confusion.
Elder Yu was full of confidence. "Don’t worry. I suspected this might happen, so I prepared Detoxification Pills in advance. I’ll distribute them to you now..."
Afterward, Elder Yu took a bottle of pills from his backpack and handed them to Huang Chen and the others.
Elder Yu said, "These are Detoxification Pills I specially made for the miasma. They work very well. Any place I’ve visited with miasma, as long as you take this pill, you won’t get poisoned. So go ahead and take it; after doing so, you can confidently enter the miasma and cross the forest!"
Upon hearing Elder Yu’s words, Huang Chen and the others immediately swallowed the Detoxification Pills.
Finally, they saw that only three Detoxification Pills remained in the bottle.
Huang Chen looked at Ye Feng with a teasing expression, "Oh~~ Sorry, but it seems there are only three Detoxification Pills left. Kid, I think you should skip it and move on. These three pills will be for Kexin, Xue’er, and Young Master Guo!"
At this moment, Huang Chen appeared very annoying, and even Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er found him extremely distasteful.
Whenever others needed his help, Huang Chen would act arrogantly and call Wu Kexin and the others’ names intimately. However, when he needed help, he’d address them with utmost respect.
Nonetheless, Ye Feng shook his head, "No need, I brought my own Detoxification Pills too..."
Then they saw Ye Feng take out a medicine bottle from somewhere and handed it to Wu Kexin and the others, "Kexin, you all should take my Detoxification Pills. After taking them, the miasma can’t harm you."
"Thank you, Brother Ye Feng!" Wu Kexin and Li Xue’er happily accepted the pills from Ye Feng.
"Oh?" Elder Yu and Huang Chen were both surprised, not expecting Ye Feng had prepared Detoxification Pills.
At this moment, Ye Feng looked at Huang Chen and said, "Huang Chen, I advise you to take my Detoxification Pills for safety. Of course, if you’re willing to ask me, I’ll share them with you; how about that?"
Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, Huang Chen immediately got angry, "Nonsense, I’ve already taken Elder Yu’s Detoxification Pills. Why would I need yours? Asking you to help is daydreaming! Could your pills be better than Elder Yu’s?"
At this point, Wu Kexin interjected, "Of course, Brother Ye Feng’s Detoxification Pills are better; don’t forget about the insect repellent cream from before, which worked remarkably well, didn’t it?"
Hearing Wu Kexin’s words, Elder Yu immediately became displeased. It was as if they looked down on his Detoxification Pills, which he had absolute confidence in.
"Hmph! That kid just got lucky last time. The same thing won’t happen again. My Detoxification Pills, once taken, will definitely protect you from the miasma!" Elder Yu patted his chest, confidently asserting his trust in his pills.
Huang Chen nodded in agreement, "That’s right, who is Elder Yu? He’s an elder of the Dragon Country Chinese Medicine Association. Ye Feng’s pills before Elder Yu’s are just trash!"
At this moment, Elder Yu looked at Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, these Detoxification Pills wouldn’t happen to be made by you, would they?"
Ye Feng nodded faintly, "Yes, if you asked, I’d give you one..."
Huang Chen immediately got furious, "Are you crazy? How could Elder Yu want your trash pills? Stop being full of yourself!"
Upon hearing Huang Chen call his pills trash, Ye Feng remained calm, "Hope you won’t regret it later..."
Afterward, Li Xue’er and the others took Ye Feng’s Detoxification Pills, and they all proceeded into the miasma together.
A short while later, everyone entered the miasma, moving slowly, and after a minute, Elder Yu kept observing Wu Kexin and others, but they seemed perfectly fine.
Elder Yu was slightly shocked internally, not expecting Ye Feng’s pills to work well, actually keeping the miasma poison at bay.
"Bang!" Just at this moment, one of Huang Chen’s subordinates suddenly collapsed on the ground.
"Little Liu, what’s wrong?" Seeing this, Huang Chen shouted anxiously.
The young man named Little Liu lay on the ground, his face turning purple, body convulsing, foaming at the mouth, showing clear signs of poisoning. Everyone was stunned, unable to believe it!
"How is this possible? Hadn’t he taken Elder Yu’s Detoxification Pills?" Huang Chen was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend...
