Zhao Zheng clenched his fists and thought about his next move.

Suddenly, poisonous fog filled the air and vision became blurred.

At this moment, Gu Qinglang covered his chest with his hands, his face pale: "Ahem... this poisonous fog... I didn't expect it to be so strong..."

Jiang Yanwan looked at him worriedly: "Mr. Gu, hold on, we will definitely find a way."

"That's right, we can't give up." Wu Junyao looked at Gu Qinglang firmly, "We must find the mastermind behind this and cut off their source of poison."

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Yun Ji emerged from the mist, looking anxious: "There is poisonous fog everywhere, everyone, don't get separated!"

Zhao Zheng responded quickly: "Everyone, keep in formation and follow me!"

Everyone followed the instructions and moved forward carefully. However, the poisonous fog became thicker and thicker, gradually separating them from each other. Jiang Yanwan tried to get closer to Zhao Zheng, but found that she had lost her sense of direction in the fog.

"Yan Wan!" Wu Junyao shouted, but his voice seemed to be sucked into the bottomless abyss and no one responded.

Zhao Zheng tightly grasped his sword and said calmly: "It seems that this poisonous fog is not only poisonous, but also can interfere with our perception."

Gu Qinglang panted: "Ahem... The composition of this mist is complicated, perhaps it is some kind of enhanced poison."

"We must find an exit as soon as possible, otherwise the longer we delay, the greater the danger." Yun Ji covered her mouth and nose with a determined look.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise coming from the front, like some huge creature was moving. Zhao Zheng immediately alerted: "Everyone, be careful, something is coming!"

At this moment, Gu Qinglang suddenly fell down, his chest heaving violently, and his face turned even paler. Yun Ji hurried forward to support him: "Mr. Gu! How are you?"

Gu Qinglang said with difficulty: "I...I may not be able to hold on..."

Zhao was setting up defenses around him, his mouth tight: "Hold on, we will definitely find the antidote."

"We can't go on like this. I'll carry you!" Jiang Yanwan said resolutely.

Gu Qinglang forced a smile: "You... also have to be careful..."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you."

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a clear male voice penetrated the poisonous fog: "Found it, this is the source of the poisonous fog!"

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up: "Who's there?"

A young man in a blue robe walked out of the fog, holding a fan that flashed blue light. He smiled and said, "I am Lan Tianyu, and I specialize in studying the mechanism of this poisonous fog."

"Lan Tianyu?" Jiang Yanwan was surprised. "You are... the famous poison master?"

Lan Tianyu nodded: "Yes, it seems you need my help."

Zhao Zheng frowned: "We really need to get rid of this poisonous fog now, what can you do?"

Lan Tianyu smiled slightly: "This is a special fan I developed. It can dispel the poisonous fog, but it will take some time."

Yun Ji said gratefully: "We are willing to protect you and prevent any enemy from approaching!"

Lan Tianyu nodded and turned on the fan. Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew and the poisonous fog began to slowly dissipate. However, at this moment, a group of men in black attacked again, seemingly unwilling to let them leave smoothly.

"Protect Lan Tianyu!" Zhao Zheng said sternly, and everyone quickly formed a defensive circle to keep the enemy out.

The battle was extremely fierce, Zhao Zheng and Jiang Yanwan relied on their tacit cooperation to repel wave after wave of enemies, while Wu Junyao flexibly wandered between the enemy lines and quickly dealt with those black-clad men who tried to launch a sneak attack.

After several rounds, the men in black were finally defeated and retreated. Lan Tianyu also finally completed the work of detoxifying the fog, and the whole forest returned to fresh air.

Gu Qinglang gradually regained some strength and looked at Lan Tianyu gratefully: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we might not be able to escape."

Lan Tianyu smiled calmly: "It's just a small favor, you're welcome. But why did you set foot in this dangerous place?"

Zhao Zheng briefly explained his experience and background. Lan Tianyu thought for a moment, "So that's how it is. This poisonous fog is indeed caused by some rare poison."

Jiang Yanwan asked: "Do you know how to eradicate these poisonous insects?"

Lan Tianyu pondered for a moment and said, "We need an extremely rare herb called 'Ice Ghost Grass', which can neutralize the poison, but this herb can only be found in the high mountains far away in the northern border."

Zhao Zheng made the decision: "In that case, we will set off immediately to the northern border to look for the Ice Ghost Grass."

Wu Junyao nodded in agreement: "Perhaps this is also an opportunity for us to uncover the conspiracy."

Yun Ji looked at Gu Qinglang: "Can you still hold on? We can take a break."

Gu Qinglang shook his head: "No, I can persist. As long as we find the Ice Ghost Grass, all problems will be solved."

At this moment, a man in black suddenly jumped out from behind a tree. He was obviously the enemy they had missed. He held a dagger and stabbed directly at Gu Qinglang.

Zhao Zheng reacted quickly, swung his sword and cut down the man in black: "Hurry up, we can't delay any longer!"

Lan Tianyu put away the fan: "I'll lead the way, follow me."

Everyone followed Lan Tianyu and quickly passed through the woods and headed for the high mountains in the northern border. Along the way, they were careful and alert to prevent being attacked again.

When they finally reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Yanwan looked toward the steep peaks in the north, her heart filled with determination: "We will succeed."

Zhao Zheng gripped the hilt of the sword tightly: "That's right, nothing can stop us."

Wu Junyao smiled slightly: "Then let's work together to welcome victory."

Just as they were about to start climbing, Lan Tianyu suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Zhao Zheng: "Wait a minute, I heard something."

Zhao Zheng became alert: "What is it?"

Lan Tianyu pointed to a path in the mountains: "It seems that someone is ambushing there."

Jiang Yanwan was stunned for a moment: "Have we been discovered?"

Zhao Zheng said coldly: "It seems that the remnants of King Jin have already made plans."

Wu Junyao drew his sword: "Then let's fight to the end."

Just as they were discussing countermeasures, a sharp shout suddenly came from the mountain path, and dozens of men in black rushed over again.

Zhao Zheng drew his sword to fight: "Protect Mr. Gu!"

The battle broke out instantly, with swords flashing and shadows interweaving, and the scene was extremely fierce. Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao fought side by side, they had a tacit understanding and repelled the enemies one by one.

However, at this moment, Gu Qinglang suddenly coughed violently and his body was about to fall. Yun Ji hurriedly supported him: "Mr. Gu, hold on!"

Gu Qinglang panted: "Ahem... hurry up and find the Ice Ghost Grass... ahem..."

While Zhao Zheng was fighting, he ordered: "Lan Tianyu, you continue to look for herbs, we will hold off the enemy!"

Lan Tianyu nodded and quickly went deep into the forest. The battle became more intense, and everyone tried their best to protect Gu Qinglang. As time passed, the enemy gradually decreased, and the hope of victory began to emerge.

Suddenly, Lan Tianyu ran out of the forest, holding an ice-blue herb in his hand: "Found it!"

Jiang Yanwan was ecstatic: "Quick, give it to Mr. Gu!"

Lan Tianyu handed the Ice Ghost Grass to Gu Qinglang, who swallowed it with difficulty. After a while, his complexion finally began to improve, and his breathing became stable.

Zhao Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally saved."
