Chapter 95 - Mystical Order [1] (1/2)
They continued taking the upward path while remaining cautiously alert. A couple of Nephilia spiders and critters were met, but were effectively disposed off by the group. The combined power of the five was simply unmatched for the spiders and critters. As the five of them neared the outskirt of the misty area, Fan Xinyi waved for them to stop. She opened her spatial sac and brought out some red flowers and seeds.
”Red fiery flowers and serpent fang seeds.”
She said as she signalled them to come closer. She handed a red flower and a seed, to each demigods, including Ju Feng. But first, to the other two demigods that came with her. Kang Ya and Liu Luoyang collected theirs without questions, and quickly started to consume it. From the looks of it, they were already aware of the whole plan. Afterwards, she gave one flower and seed each, to Ju Feng and Fang Zedong.
”I know what the serpent-fangs seeds are. Poison. So, why would I eat one?”
Fan Zedong looked curiously at Fan Xinyi and the other demigods. He wasn't eating any crazy poison without knowing what it was all about.
”If you don't want your mind to collapse on you, and you die in the mist, then you'll need to eat it.”
Fan Xinyi who was still gazing at the flower and seed on her hand, raised up her head to stare at him. The memories of the past were coming back to her in a flurry.
”Ten thousand years ago, my brother was here to participate in the trial. They took this particular path and they made it to the mist. They couldn't go much further in the mist due to what he called 'Misty-Wraith'.”
”The Misty-Wraith?”
”Yes. That's what he called it. He said that it was the mist itself that became the wraiths. It was as if it was alive. I recalled him saying the mist could wrench at the mind of demigods making them an easy target for the death-eaters.”
”Sounds like the poisonous devil mist.”
”Yes, it is. A poison so powerful that, it renders the mind of demigods, void. When I learned of it, I started looking for the best possible ways to prepare for it. I began searching different scrolls and books that could provide materials to positively negate the effect of the devil mist. Do you know what I found at last?”
She gave them a wry smile and continued.
”Red fiery flowers and Serpent-fang seeds.”
Some answered her with sighs while others simply smiled.
”Mhm. Mind you, these items used to be common in the Lumence dimension, but they are now getting more and more difficult to find. The only place you'll find them in numbers was the Nether-Plane. But, that's not the point I'm making. You see, the Red fiery flower is a soul poison while the Serpent fang seed is a mind poison.”
”Double poison?”
Fang Zedong asked in shock.
”Extreme poisoning.”
Kang Ya replied, giving Fang Zedong a wink.
Liu Luoyang, who had finished swallowing his portion after he had chewed it, turned in Fang Zedong's direction.
