Chapter 424 - Chapter 424: Chapter 416 Valley of Wronged Spirits_1 (2/2)

“I’ve never been in, but I know that there is a terrible poisonous miasma inside the valley, and any human or livestock that enters is sure to die.”

After she finished speaking, she paused, then added, “Do you know why it’s called the Valley of Wronged Spirits?”

“Because anyone who goes in is bound to die. Some uninformed villagers ventured into the valley and ended up dying there. With so many deaths, that’s why it’s called the Valley of Wronged Spirits, right?”

Qin Niu thought this question was too simple.

The spirits of those who perished in the valley continued to accumulate, naturally transforming it into the so-called Valley of Wronged Spirits.

“The Valley of Wronged Spirits wasn’t originally called this. It is rumored that during the founding war, the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect killed many southern Gu Masters. It was in this valley that the fierce battle took place, and in the end, more than seven hundred southern Gu Masters all died in what is now the Valley of Wronged Spirits. When those Gu Masters found they could not win, they begged the Immortal Masters of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect for mercy, hoping to be spared.

Unfortunately, the Immortal Masters of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect were unmoved. Regardless of men, women, children, or the elderly, all were killed in the valley.”

Filled with immeasurable resentment before their deaths, the Gu Masters used all their knowledge to turn the valley into a land rampant with poisonous miasma.

It is said that over ten Immortal Masters were poisoned and killed on the spot in the valley.

Moreover, the poisonous miasma in the valley has a feature: the more people who die in it, and the stronger the cultivation of the deceased, the more potent the poisonous miasma becomes.

After so many years, no one knows how terrifying the poisonous miasma in the valley has become.

Nor does anyone dare to take half a step across the boundary.

“But I don’t know what the Nine Insect Gang is doing by bringing so many insects into the valley?”

Ye Ji explained the history of the Valley of Wronged Spirits all in one breath.

Qin Niu really didn’t know that a valley could have so many stories.

The Gu Masters were slaughtered by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, which many people knew about.

But he hadn’t expected that the valley in front of him was the very place where the Immortal Sect executed the Gu Masters.

According to Ye Ji, the more people who died in the Valley of Wronged Spirits, the more powerful the poisonous miasma in the valley would become.

Could this poisonous miasma actually evolve on its own?

Qin Niu’s Black Spider Gu fed exclusively on the world’s poisons and miasmas; this was an opportunity.

“Go!”

Qin Niu didn’t dare to enter the valley himself but released the Black Spider Gu to let it rush into the valley and devour the poisonous miasma.

As soon as the Black Spider Gu entered the valley, it immediately communicated excitedly with Qin Niu via psychic bond.

“Master, this place contains the essence of my origin. If I absorb more, I will definitely grow stronger, perhaps even advance directly.”

“Don’t hold back, absorb to your heart’s content,” Qin Niu said.

By now, Qin Niu was almost certain that the legends about the Valley of Wronged Spirits were true.

The Black Spider Gu was half-insect, half-Gu.

If it said that the valley contained its origin essence, this indicated that a large number of Gu Masters indeed perished here.

Qin Niu decided to capture a few insects that flew into the valley to study further.

“Green Demon Bee, go, fetch me a couple of insects.”

Qin Niu sent out the Green Demon Bee to catch several insects that had flown out of the valley, as well as a few that were flying into it.

These insects looked similar to the coleopterous hide beetles.

However, after undergoing mutations and evolution, they were quite different from the original hide beetles.

Their size was large, as big as the common housefly.

The most dangerous thing about hide beetles is that they can cause dermatitis.

If someone swatted one dead on their face, it wouldn’t take long before the face felt like it was on fire: blistering, swelling up, and becoming sore and ulcerated over a large area.

These mutated hide beetles were bound to be even more formidable.

Their toxicity would be even more domineering.

Qin Niu compared the hide beetles that went into the valley with those that flew out of it.

“These hide beetles have absorbed the poisonous miasma of the valley, making their toxicity even more virulent. That must be the purpose of the Nine Insect Gang’s Gu Masters in letting them enter the valley.”

After researching, he came to a conclusion.
