Xiao Le defeated Golden-Haired Child in the poison-pill contest, but the Gu Sect asked him to stay after the child's Golden Silkworm Gu essence reacted to him. The Gu Sect's Supreme Elder brought Xiao Le to its Golden Silkworm Gu Mother, and Xiao Le realized his Divine Silkworm Technique might help it transform if he could obtain the necessary materials.

Xiao Le, Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian reached the heart of the thorn forest, where Medusa fought the Dou Zong-level Thorn Old Demon. While Beast Venerable empowered Xiao Le to investigate a strange stone pillar anchoring the demon, Xiao Le began breaking away its rocky shell and uncovered a dark, metallic object.

• Medusa cleared a path through the thorn forest and found traces of seven-colored scales, then confronted the Thorn Old Demon.
• Medusa and the Thorn Old Demon fought while Xiao Le and Xiao Yi Xian stayed clear of the battle.

• Xiao Le tested the pillar with soul force and several other methods, but found that the rocky exterior concealed an extraordinary core.
• Xiao Le struck the pillar repeatedly as Medusa kept the Thorn Old Demon occupied, eventually revealing a dark metallic object beneath the stone.

Xiao Le freed a divine halberd from its stone shell, formed a bond with it, and discovered that the Thorn Old Demon had transformed into a woman named Jing Ke'er. After recovering from the weapon’s blood drain, Xiao Le, Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian headed deeper into the Nether Abyss Poison Marsh to seek the Netherworld Venom Flame and Jade-Fragrant Black Lingzhi.

• After resting for a day, Xiao Le, Medusa, and Xiao Yi Xian set out toward the marsh’s deeper regions.

Xiao Le, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa entered a field of demon taro whose fragrance clouded their minds, but Xiao Le awakened and rescued the others before they could eat it. The three continued deeper into the poison marsh, harvesting the taro while facing increasingly powerful corpse puppets.

• Xiao Le, Xiao Yi Xian, and Medusa continued deeper as the demon taro grew larger, the pink gas intensified, and stronger corpse puppets appeared.

Xiao Le harvested the giant devil taro while Medusa fought its powerful corpse puppet, but he had to unleash a dangerous technique to save her. Xiao Le lost consciousness as Medusa fled with him and Xiao Yi Xian, while the corpse puppet began to show signs of life.

• Medusa engaged the giant devil taro's corpse puppet, whose speed and strength suggested it had been a Dou Zun in life.
• Xiao Le downloaded the giant devil taro's entries, but the corpse puppet continued attacking Medusa after the taro disappeared.
