Deep within the mountain range, they suddenly discovered a lake. In the middle of the lake was a small island, upon which stood a crystalline, elegant plant, radiating an immense and refreshing fragrance.
"This should be the place, right?"
"Mm."
As Xiao Yan and Yue Ru proceeded deeper into the mountain range, they noticed that there were fewer and fewer people.
"This fog is poisonous!" Xiao Yan immediately understood why the number of people had dwindled the deeper they went. It was because of the fog.
"Here." Xiao Yan handed Yue Ru a medicinal pill, then fully spread out the power of his Emperor Realm Soul and carefully probed the lake.
Generally speaking, any place that contained a heavenly treasure would have a guardian, so it was best to be cautious.
"Why can't I detect anything?" Xiao Yan muttered to himself. He then gave Yue Ru a few grave instructions before heading straight toward the island in the lake.
Like a fish, Xiao Yan broke through the water and plunged into the clear lake. His gaze swept over the milky-white flames outside his body, and he could not help swallowing. At this moment, under the strange temperature emitted by Xiao Yi, the surrounding lake water had begun to churn like boiling water. As milky-white bubbles continuously rose to the surface, strands of dark purple liquid, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye, slowly emerged. Yet just as that dark purple liquid was about to touch the milky-white flames, Xiao Yi froze it into tiny threads of ice, which slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
Watching the tiny purple ice threads continuously emerge around him, Xiao Yan's scalp tingled. He had not expected this seemingly tranquil lake to conceal so much deadly poison.
"Hurry up. These poisons are extremely potent.
