Chapter 202: They are all gamblers
Xuanyu brought Hongnu to southern Xinjiang and learned that her sister Honghua was being hunted by the Poisonous Insect Valley and was missing. She guessed that her sister must have taken action against the Poisonous Insect Valley, but ended in failure.
After more than a month of inquiries, there was still no news. Xuanyu was worried, but fortunately, her sister was not found in the Poisonous Insect Valley.
After settling Hongnu, Xuanyu took the left protector token given by the sect leader and went to the Poisonous Insect Valley alone. Although it was risky, in order to help her sister, she had to find a way to make the Poisonous Insect Valley and the Shadow Sect have a feud with each other. In this way, she could use the power of the Shadow Sect to help her sister deal with the Poisonous Insect Valley.
Poisonous Insect Valley, as the name suggests, is full of poisonous snakes and insects, and there are poison traps everywhere, making it hard to guard against. Not to mention ordinary people, even people with high martial arts skills may not be able to escape the poison everywhere if they accidentally enter this place. It is precisely because of the Poisonous Insect Valley that the Shadow Sect has not been able to completely penetrate Southern Xinjiang so far. Therefore, even if they covet the secret medicine of the Poisonous Insect Valley, they can never get it.
After much searching, she finally found the location of the Poisonous Insect Valley. That day, Xuanyu, dressed in black with her face half covered, walked through the dense forest and came to a long and narrow mountain path. There were towering cliffs on both sides. She continued to move forward slowly, but every step was taken carefully.
"Jingle Bell...."
When Xuanyu was halfway through, her foot accidentally touched the hidden rope hidden in the bushes, and then a bell on the tree next to her made a crisp sound. She stepped back a few steps cautiously, and as expected, the bell shook and the poison powder tied to the bell fell off, and powder smoke suddenly rose when it landed on the ground.
Fortunately, her sister had described the traps along the way to the Poison Insect Valley in detail, so Yu Yu was able to prepare the anti-poison veil in advance. But in order to make the people in the Poison Insect Valley believe that she had nothing to do with her sister, she did not carry any antidote.
After avoiding the first trap, Huanyu drew out the long sword in her hand. The second trap was the poisonous snake. There was a pit hidden in the grass ahead, and the pit was full of deadly poisonous snakes. Huanyu looked around the empty space in front of her and felt helpless. Although she knew there were poisonous snake pits everywhere, she didn't know the specific location, and there was nothing to rely on. It seemed that she had to explore step by step on her own.
Afterwards, before each step, Huanyu would use the long sword in her hand to probe under her feet, and only step on them after confirming that there was solid ground under the grass. If there was a pit, she would avoid it. She walked carefully for about half an hour and successfully avoided every snake pit.
The next trap was the poisonous insects. As for how they would appear, the Poisonous Insect Valley would change every once in a while. Therefore, Hong Hua had not been in the Poisonous Insect Valley for a long time, so naturally he did not know what these poisonous insect traps would look like now.
Xuanyu knew about the previous two traps in advance and had some idea of them, but now everything about this poisonous insect trap was unknown. The unknown would bring fear to people, not to mention that this was the dreaded Poisonous Insect Valley.
She had imagined several kinds of poisonous insect traps in her mind, but when she saw the terrifying scene in front of her with her own eyes, the corners of Yan Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but sweat on her forehead.
From in front of Yu to the narrow pass at the end of the mountain path about ten feet away, the ground is full of poisonous insects. No matter how good a person's lightness skills are, it is impossible to jump over the distance of ten feet. I'm afraid only a great immortal can fly over it.
Xuanyu looked at the pass ahead and sighed helplessly again. She didn't expect that she couldn't even reach the valley entrance. This Poisonous Insect Valley really lived up to its reputation. Yuan Tian naively thought that she could help her sister, but now it seems that she overestimated herself.
Just as Xuanyu was about to return the same way, bursts of melodious bird calls suddenly rang out from the valley, followed by rustling sounds on the ground. Xuanyu stared with wide eyes at the poisonous insects that had been rampant in front of her, now quickly retreating back into the valley.
"Dear guest from afar, please come in." When the poisonous insects on the ground disappeared without a trace, the bird sounds in the valley were replaced by a child's voice.
Yan Yu hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards the pass ahead.
"The Left Protector of Shadow Clan is here to visit the Poisonous Insect Valley." When Yanyu arrived at the entrance of the valley and looked at the big trees in the valley that were full of insects and snakes, she immediately stopped and said loudly.
"Yingmen? My Poison Insect Valley and Yingmen have always kept to themselves. What are you doing here in my Poison Insect Valley today?" A hoarse and deep female voice came from deep in the valley.
"It is indeed the Shadow Clan's fault for disturbing you this time, but there is a reason for it. Please allow me to explain the reason to the Valley Master in person." Although no figure appeared, Yan Yu still clasped her hands together and smiled respectfully.
After a moment of silence, a dark-skinned, lame girl walked out from behind the tree. She came to Yan Yu expressionlessly and said, "The Valley Master is waiting inside. Follow me closely."
After the girl finished speaking, she turned and walked into the valley. Xuan Yu followed closely behind her. She was surprised to find that wherever the lame girl went, snakes and insects avoided her.
After passing the forest full of insects and snakes, there was a sea of purple flowers in front of them. The fragrance of the flowers was rich, but Hua Xuanyu in the Poisonous Insect Valley didn't even dare to smell it. Fortunately, she was wearing a gas-proof veil.
"This flower is poisonous, don't touch it."
After giving the reminder, the lame girl walked around the sea of flowers and headed towards the wooden house on the high steps ahead.
Xuanyu continued to follow with a cold face. Today, she came alone as the Left Protector of Shadow Clan to make enemies with the Poisonous Insect Valley. She had always heard that the Valley Master of the Poisonous Insect Valley was an irrational and evil woman. Her sister had also suffered a lot in front of this Valley Master in the past. It was extremely difficult to escape from such a place. She was afraid that she would be in great danger today.
"Valley Master, the person has been brought here." The lame girl came to the door of the wooden house and reported respectfully.
"Well, you two siblings should stay outside the valley. This valley master has something important to discuss with the people of Shadow Clan."
"Yes."
A child about six or seven years old walked out of the house. He was plump and fair with bright eyes. He smiled at Yan Yu and then took the lame girl's hand and walked out of the valley.
Xuanyu looked around cautiously before walking into the wooden house. But when she saw the person sitting on the high seat, she was shocked.
"How come, after not seeing you for several months, you don't recognize me?" Honghua sat seductively on the high seat and smiled charmingly at Xuanyu at the door, but her voice was still low and hoarse.
"What's wrong with your throat?" Seeing that her sister was safe and sound, Yan Yu felt relieved, but her expression remained cold.
"Well, what else could have happened? I was nearly poisoned to death by that old woman. Fortunately, I have been concentrating on antidote her poison over the years, so I was able to save my life in time. It's a pity for your nice voice." Honghua stood up and walked towards her sister with an aggrieved look on her face.
"Have you successfully taken over the Poisonous Insect Valley?" After asking this question, Yan Yu immediately embarrassed herself for asking such a nonsense question.
"Oh, it's not easy. If I hadn't prepared the new poison and aroused the old woman's interest, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to see her."
"She's dead?"
"She wanted to kill me, so I had to send her away. But she is not alone, she has three beloved disciples with her!" Honghua said, with a flash of hatred in his eyes.
"Now that you have conquered the Poison Insect Valley, why are you spreading the news that the Poison Insect Valley is hunting you?"
"The Poisonous Insect Valley has just been cleared. I have not yet completely mastered the poisonous insects in this valley, so I cannot let the outside world know that this place has changed hands. However, you just tried it for me. The poisonous insect trap is good, but the first two need to be strengthened."
"You're using me to test the poison?" Yan Yu's face was cold, and then she couldn't help but complain: "Also, those poisonous insects visible all over the ground are also called traps?"
"How could I know that you would dare to break into the Poison Insect Valley alone? It doesn't matter whether it is a trap or not, as long as we can stop the uninvited guests." After Honghua finished speaking, she suddenly hugged her sister into her arms and smiled gently, "I know you are worried about your sister, but you are not allowed to gamble with your life in the future."
"Didn't you also gamble your life to come to this Poisonous Insect Valley?" Yan Yu leaned on her sister's shoulder without moving, and sneered.
"It seems that we sisters are both gamblers."
