Chapter 428 - Chapter 428: Chapter 420 Miscalculation_1 (2/2)

Black Spider Gu sensed the black qi pouring down rapidly; it knew there was no escape and sent out a distress signal to Qin Niu.

“`

At this moment, its only hope lay with Qin Niu, its master.

“Let’s gamble!”

Qin Niu swiftly made his decision.

His thought process was clear: Black Spider Gu could resist all poisons. As long as he rescued the Black Spider Gu, he could rely on it to fend off the poisonous miasma within the valley.

Furthermore, the Black Spider Gu was already at the edge of the valley, just less than twenty meters away.

Though its crawling speed had slowed, Qin Niu could use the Misty Rain Elusive Step to instantly whisk it away from the valley.

Once out of the valley, he would be safe.

If the Mirage Insect dared to chase out of the valley, it would provide the perfect opportunity to take it down.

These thoughts settled in his mind in an instant.

“Green Ox, Wart Toad, wait for me outside the valley.”

Before the words had left Qin Niu’s mouth, his figure had already turned into a blur as he dashed into the valley.

Ye Ji, who had been protecting Qin Niu, saw this sudden turn of events and cried out in dismay, “No, don’t go in!”

Alas, her call was a moment too late; Qin Niu had already entered the Valley of Wronged Spirits.

Ye Ji bit her lip, wanting to follow him, but ultimately lacked the courage. This was no joke; the poisonous miasma in the Valley of Wronged Spirits was terrifying, and entering would almost certainly mean death.

It was better to stay outside and wait for Qin Niu.

With this in mind, she planted her foot back on the ground, her gaze fixed anxiously on Qin Niu as he entered the valley.

Because of the miasma spreading throughout the valley, as soon as a person entered, their visibility diminished.

Qin Niu grabbed the Black Spider Gu, which was about to be sucked in by the dark miasma, and swiftly retreated to the side.

Fortunately, he had made a split-second decision at the most critical moment.

If he had been just a second slower, the Black Spider Gu would have been swallowed by the miasma.

After entering the valley, Qin Niu realized that the dark miasma was even more terrifying and trickier than he had imagined.

It continued to whirl at high speed, as if it had eyes, chasing wildly after Qin Niu.

The Mirage Insect was undoubtedly furious that its easy prey had been snatched away by Qin Niu.

Therefore, it wanted to kill Qin Niu along with the Black Spider Gu.

According to Qin Niu’s plan, he would rescue the Black Spider Gu and then flee the valley immediately.

The distance was not far, just less than twenty meters.

With his current level of cultivation and the Misty Rain Elusive Step, he could escape in three to four seconds.

Yet, he still underestimated the horror of the valley’s poisonous miasma.

Though he held his breath, he still felt his head growing heavy, his vision going dark, and his body becoming feeble. His hands and feet began to tremble uncontrollably.

As a result, even executing the familiar Misty Rain Elusive Step became incredibly difficult.

Without entering it, one could hardly imagine the horror of the Valley of Wronged Spirits.

It was devoid of sunlight, and stepping inside felt like entering the legendary underworld.

“Black Spider Gu, hurry and cleanse the poisonous miasma from my body,” Qin Niu implored, worried that the Black Spider Gu wouldn’t understand the situation due to its low intelligence.

Fortunately, the Black Spider Gu, upon being rescued, immediately turned into a black mist and entered Qin Niu’s nostrils, making its way inside his body.

Without needing his command, it began to cleanse the miasma from his body.

However, the entire valley was filled with poison, and just as the Black Spider Gu had cleared the miasma within Qin Niu, more from the environment would penetrate through his skin and orifices.

Thus, a delicate balance was formed.

The miasma in Qin Niu’s body could hardly be cleared in a short time.

Driven by sheer willpower, he gritted his teeth and fled towards the valley’s exit.

For he knew, if he could not escape, death was certain.

Outside the valley, the Green Ox seemed to sense its master’s peril, and it let out the Dragon’s Roar Skill once more.

This time, the Dragon’s Roar Skill was stronger than ever.

In Green Ox’s heart, Qin Niu was as good as family. With Qin Niu in danger, the creature was prepared to risk its own life to protect him.

Qin Niu staggered toward the exit of the valley.

The black miasma pursued him closely, right on his heels.

What seemed a mere twenty meters had become a path of life and death.
