Jiang Mo then looked at Feng Baobao: "You may not need this, but just in case, it's good to bring it."
Feng Baobao nodded and put the medicine bottle into her bosom.
"Alright, let's go."
Jiang Mo glanced at the sky. "We must reach the altar in the center of the valley before nightfall."
The group followed Jiang Mo and cautiously made their way towards the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
As the distance decreased, the toxic smog in the air became increasingly dense.
Even with the antidote, everyone could still feel a slight stinging sensation.
"Brother, I'm not feeling well."
Zhang Chulan frowned. "It feels like countless tiny needles are pricking my skin."
Jiang Mo nodded: "That's the effect of the poisonous fog. Antidotes can only resist most toxins, but they can't completely isolate them."
"Don't worry, this level of poison won't cause us any real harm."
Just as everyone was about to step into the entrance of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
“There’s an ambush,” he said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing as he stared at the bushes ahead.
"There were at least ten people, scattered around."
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Mo finished speaking...
More than a dozen men in black suddenly sprang out from the surrounding bushes.
Wielding various strange weapons, they surrounded Jiang Mo and his group.
The leader was a short, elderly man with a face full of wrinkles.
"I have long heard of Jiang Mo's great name, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved."
The old man chuckled sinisterly, "However, you've come to the wrong place today."
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons does not welcome outsiders, especially you, Jiang Mo!"
Jiang Mo remained expressionless and said calmly, "People from the Helian family?"
“I just sent your young master to the company’s special prison.”
"And now we've run into you again, what a small world!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically: "It really is you! With Young Master Helian in your hands, the enmity between our Helian family and you has deepened even further!"
Jiang Mo sneered: "Enmity? I have no connection with the Helian family. It was you who provoked me time and time again."
"You stole my things, and now you want to perform some bullshit ceremony here? Do you really think I, Jiang Mo, am easy to bully?"
A shadow crossed the old man's face: "Enough with the idle talk! The Valley Master has given the order that no one is allowed to approach the altar."
"You will not be allowed to set foot in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons today!"
After saying that, the old man suddenly pulled a small bottle from his pocket and sprinkled it on the ground.
Instantly, dozens of thumb-sized black spiders crawled out of the bottle and quickly slithered toward Jiang Mo and the others.
"Watch out, it's a Soul-Eating Spider!" Wei Duoduo exclaimed, quickly taking a few steps back.
Jiang Mo remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips: "That's it?"
With a light stomp of his foot, a golden light spread out from beneath his feet, forming a circular light shield.
Keep all the Soul-Eating Spiders outside.
The spiders immediately twisted and struggled as if they had been exposed to a raging fire upon contact with the light shield.
Finally, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.
Upon seeing this, a look of horror flashed in the old man's eyes: "This...this is the Gu God Barrier?"
"Impossible! This profound Gu technique has been lost for hundreds of years!"
Jiang Mo smiled coldly: "It seems you do know something."
"That's right, this is the Gu God Barrier, which is specifically designed to counter all Gu poisons."
"Your Helian family's prized Gu techniques are nothing but child's play in front of me."
"Arrogant!" the old man roared, then waved his hand at the men in black behind him, "Attack them all! Kill them!"
More than a dozen men in black responded in unison, pulling out various poisonous weapons and launching an attack on Jiang Mo and his group.
"Zhang Chulan, Wei Duoduo, you two take charge of the left and right flanks; Chen Duo, Feng Baobao, you two hold the rear."
"Give me the frontal ones," Jiang Mo quickly gave the order, his voice steady and powerful.
The group immediately dispersed as instructed by Jiang Mo, each dealing with their own opponent.
Jiang Mo was facing the old man and three men in black who appeared to be the strongest.
Seeing that Jiang Mo dared to face the four of them alone, the old man couldn't help but sneer, "Jiang Mo, you're too arrogant!"
Jiang Mo remained noncommittal, simply saying, "I'll give you three seconds to surrender, otherwise..."
"Hahaha!" the old man burst into laughter. "Jiang Mo, who do you think you are? The reincarnation of the Gu God?"
Jiang Mo shook his head: "It seems you've chosen to take a hard line."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mo's figure suddenly blurred.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the old man, his right hand gently placed on the old man's chest.
“Too slow,” Jiang Mo said softly.
The old man didn't have time to react.
It felt like a tremendous force burst forth from my chest.
He crashed heavily into a large tree and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Valley Master!" the other three men in black exclaimed, unable to believe their eyes.
Their valley master, Helian Yan, the current head of the Helian family, was actually knocked away in one move!
"Attack together!" The three roared as they charged toward Jiang Mo, their weapons gleaming with an eerie light.
Jiang Mo remained unfazed, his figure flashing once more, moving like a ghost between the three.
In less than ten seconds, all three men in black lay motionless on the ground.
On the other side, Zhang Chulan, Wei Duoduo, Chen Duo, and Feng Baobao also easily defeated their respective opponents.
Especially Feng Baobao, she didn't even take the initiative to make a move.
Just standing there, he exuded a peculiar aura.
This caused all the men in black who wanted to attack her to be gripped by fear and unable to get close.
Soon, all the men in black were subdued, leaving only the severely injured Helian Yan still conscious.
Jiang Mo walked up to Helian Yan, looking down at him: "Now, tell me, what are you planning to do on the altar?"
Helian Yan coughed up blood, his eyes flashing with resentment and fear: "You...you already know, why are you asking me..."
I want to hear you say it yourself.
Jiang Mo said coldly, "It is said that the Helian family has been studying the remains of the Gu God for hundreds of years."
"You should be more aware of the dangers than anyone else. Why take this risk?"
Helian Yan raised his head: "For power! For glory! To restore the Helian family to its former glory!"
"Even at the cost of countless lives?" Jiang Mo asked coldly.
Helian Yan sneered: "In the face of absolute power, everything can be sacrificed!"
"You don't understand, Jiang Mo! The power of the Gu God can transcend the mortal realm and make one a true god!"
Jiang Mo shook his head, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes: "The sad thing is, you don't understand the true meaning of the Gu God at all."
He turned to the crowd and said, "Time is running out; we must get to the altar as soon as possible."
"According to Helian Yan, they may have already begun a blood sacrifice ritual."
The group quickly made their way into the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons along the mountain path.
The poisonous fog in the valley grew thicker and thicker.
