His heart tightened, Tang San turned his head sharply, his gaze instantly freezing.
He saw the Man Faced Demon Spider appear silently behind him like a ghost, its massive body carrying intense killing intent, pouncing fiercely once again.
Due to the suddenness of the event.
Tang San had no time to prepare and could only quickly raise his hand, holding the Clear Sky Hammer horizontally across his chest to block.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, the spear-like sharp spider legs struck the Clear Sky Hammer fiercely, sending out a shower of sparks and numbing his arms.
However, the Man Faced Demon Spider's strength was too great for Tang San to bear. He was actually sent flying backward, eventually plummeting towards the bluish-green poison array ahead.
"Oh no!"
Tang San's heart jumped, and in the blink of an eye, his back made intimate contact with the poison array.
Accompanied by a piercing sizzling sound, he felt a severe burning pain in his back, his skin began to rapidly rot, and greenish-blue corrosive marks quickly spread throughout his body.
"This beast! What should I do? If this continues… poison!?"
Gritting his teeth, Tang San seemed to have thought of something.
The next second, his external Spirit Bone, the Eight Spider Lances, unconsciously emerged from his back. The sharp spear tips flickered with a faint black light, rapidly absorbing the surrounding poisonous gas, neutralizing a significant amount of its toxicity.
"Boom—"
With a muffled thud, Tang San's entire body fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, this poison array was only a circular area. His body quickly passed through the poisonous mist, and he soon broke through the encirclement of the poison array.
But when he sat on the ground and slowly propped himself up, he found that almost no part of his skin was intact. The rotting areas emitted a putrid smell.
"If it weren't for the Eight Spider Lances' ability to absorb potent toxins, I might have already died."
Enduring the intense pain throughout his body, Tang San exhaled a turbid breath, slowly stood up from the ground, his gaze sweeping towards the area of the bluish-green poisonous mist ahead. He frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"How could there be a man-made poison array in this Sunset Forest? Could it be that there's some Heaven And Earth Treasure hidden here?"
At this point, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.
But with every step, the burning pain from his back made it almost impossible for Tang San to breathe. Yet, he still gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressed the pain, and walked resolutely forward.
After a long while, he suddenly noticed that the air ahead seemed to be filled with a scorching aura, accompanied by a faint smell of sulfur, which made his heart slightly jump.
"Heat? Sulfur…"
A hint of surprise flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he asked doubtfully, "Is there a hot spring ahead?"
Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, speeding up towards the direction where the heat was emanating.
A moment later, the sight before him completely shocked Tang San.
He saw a huge, oval-shaped pool of water quietly embedded in the mountain hollow. The spring water churned, and the surface of the water displayed a peculiar dual color, milky white and fiery red spring water flowing intertwined, hot steam rising, enveloping the valley, as if one were in another strange World.
"This… could this be the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?" Looking at this scene, Tang San's breathing became rapid, his face filled with shock.
He took a deep breath, no longer suppressing the excitement in his heart. Focusing his Soul Power into his eyes, his Purple Demon Eye activated. A crystalline purple light condensed in his pupils. Although everything around him was still hazy with mist, in Tang San's eyes, it became extraordinarily clear.
With the aid of the starlight and moonlight from above, he saw everything around him clearly.
Around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, various plants were scattered everywhere, all kinds of immortal-grade medicinal herbs were available, like a giant exotic herb garden.
"Hahaha, it really is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Such a treasure land, naturally belongs to the virtuous. How fortunate I, Tang San, am to obtain it today!"
These immortal-grade medicinal herbs immediately revealed the greed on Tang San's face. At this moment, even the speed of his heartbeat seemed to quicken a few beats.
"If I bring these Heaven And Earth Treasures back to Shrek Academy…"
"It truly lives up to the saying,'Survive a great disaster, and there will surely be good fortune to follow!'"
As he spoke, he eagerly ran forward, then squatted down and began to dig, even pulling out the roots of the immortal-grade medicinal herbs.
However, just then, not far behind him, a figure quietly emerged. It was a green-robed elder, standing silently, his aura deep and sharp.
"Heh heh, you Shrek Academy people are truly audacious, daring to come to this old man's herb garden to steal things. And you want to take them back? You're dreaming!"
"Last time I spared your life, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep again this time. Truly, there's a path to Heaven but you don't take it, and no gate to Hell but you rush in!"
"Since you've come, then obediently stay and become fertilizer for this old man's herb garden!"
