Chapter 108: The Dark Region
The Taotie system had already clearly analyzed the composition and hazards of the toxin, so there was no need for Alan to analyze and study it personally.
Detoxification does not require any complicated medicinal formula.
It's just a level 4 poison.
Allen's own virus resistance happens to be level 4.
Draw a tube of blood from yourself .
Pour it into the pot, stir it and it will be an absolutely effective detoxifier.
In order to conceal his tracks, he found some herbs such as licorice, mint, and elderberry, squeezed their juice and mixed them into the pot.
The only use of these strong-smelling herbs is to cover up the smell of blood.
The next morning.
As soon as Allen woke up, he received a system prompt.
After checking it, the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
I came into contact with the level 4 toxin in the spring water last night, and without realizing it, my poison resistance had risen to level 5.
Alan closed the system page.
Before walking out of the tent, he sprayed some medicine on his eyelids.
Hiss——it’s so eye-catching!
With a pair of red and swollen eyes, Alan walked out of the tent carrying an iron pot.
Everyone in the Griffin family was anxious the whole night and got up early, waiting for Allen to announce his research results.
Seeing him walk out with red and swollen eyes, he looked very haggard...
"Alan, did you stay up late last night too?" Feilin asked his friend.
"Yeah! Time is tight, so I have to work the night shift."
Alan yawned in a formal manner.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Julie said with emotion.
"It's okay. This night was not in vain." Alan smiled tiredly, "I finally prepared the antidote."
"Are you sure it works?" Charlie couldn't help but question.
Alan claimed to be a student of some potion master, but after all, he was still a teenager under the age of fifteen.
He was not from a family of pharmacists, and he did not get into the Natural Science Department of the Warlock Academy, which focused on pharmacy.
Charlie felt that it was necessary to question his level of alchemy.
Alan smiled, too lazy to explain, and directly handed the pot to Uncle Ryan.
"The pot contains the antidote I prepared. Just pour it into the spring."
Ryan glared at Charlie sternly, demonstrating his trust in Alan with practical actions.
He immediately transformed into a griffin, grabbed the iron pot, and flew over the teleportation fountain.
Pour spring water into half a pot
Alan turned on "Virus Detection" and soon discovered that the toxin reaction had disappeared.
The water ghost's reaction is more intuitive.
They swam to the shore one after another and crawled around leisurely.
He no longer showed any hostility towards Allen and others who were right in front of him.
Charlie and his son were still a little worried and hesitated whether to walk into the spring.
Alan saw their concerns and took the initiative to step forward.
A water monster crawled over and gently wrapped around him.
The skin of the water ghost is actually a magical film that prevents the water in the body from leaking out.
Alan felt a cool sensation as it wrapped around his body.
It's like putting a plastic bag filled with cold water against your skin.
The water ghost dragged him down to the teleportation spring.
At first, Allen held his breath to avoid choking on water.
It soon became clear that this was not necessary.
In the arms of the water ghost, he temporarily gained the supernatural ability to breathe underwater.
I felt like a fish that could draw free air directly from the water.
After the transmission began, Alan felt dizzy.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in darkness.
Fortunately, the poisonous demon bloodline comes with "dark vision".
A faint purple-red halo appeared in Allen's eyes.
The sight penetrates the darkness and observes the surrounding situation.
At this moment, he was standing in a waist-deep pool of water.
Outside the pool of water, there seemed to be an extremely empty dome-shaped cave.
There is a dome above the head, of varying heights, with densely packed stalactites growing on the top wall, from which drops of water occasionally appear.
At the end of the distant darkness, there are flickering fluorescent lights.
Like glowing mosses and mushrooms growing underground.
"What is this place?" Alan couldn't help but ask.
"The underground world, also known as the Underdark."
Uncle Ryan's voice came from behind Alan.
Feilin, Julie and others were also teleported over one after another.
The bloodline of the griffin can also awaken dark vision.
But if there is a light source, everyone can see farther and more clearly.
"Dancing lights", "Fire burning", "Brightness"... The people of the Griffin family performed various lighting tricks.
Alan followed Julie to borrow some light.
With curiosity, look around this dark world thousands of meters below the surface.
Huge mushrooms can be seen everywhere near the pond. Any one of them is as thick as two people can hug together, and is estimated to be no less than 30 meters tall.
The mushroom cap is larger than a sunshade, with willow-like hyphae hanging down, just like towering trees rising from the ground!
All these huge fungi together form a dense mushroom forest.
"This is the giant mushroom, a giant fungus from the underworld."
Uncle Ryan, who had explored the Underdark with his mentor when he was young, explains the area to young people who are visiting it for the first time.
"The fairies and dwarves in the underground world like to dig caves on the wooden stems of giant mushrooms as their homes."
"The goblins live in the upper layers of the giant mushroom, while the gnomes prefer to burrow near the surface at the base of the stem."
With the help of the magic light source, everyone noticed that there were several rows of wet footprints on the shore of the pool, extending towards the giant mushroom.
As you can imagine, these are the footprints left by the circus members.
Everyone followed the trail and moved forward.
In this area, the dome overhead is low and there are clusters of hanging stalactites, leaving almost no space for griffins to fly.
Ryan and others had no choice but to walk like Allen.
Not far away, large patches of crimson moss appeared underfoot.
Uncle Ryan raised his hand and signaled his companions to stop.
"This is blood moss. If you step on it, it will spray out a lot of spores."
"When inhaled into the mouth and nose, the spores irritate the mucous membranes, causing difficulty breathing and constant coughing."
"If the symptoms are severe, the patient may even suffocate to death!"
Uncle Ryan turned on the kettle and wet his handkerchief.
Tying a wet handkerchief on your face, covering your mouth and nose, can filter out the blood moss spores floating in the air.
Allen and others followed his example.
After taking precautions, continue exploring.
The further you go, the denser the blood moss becomes.
It was like a continuous red carpet, spread out under everyone's feet, extending to the end of the underground world.
The blood moss glowed dimly, providing natural lighting.
Hiking through the tundra is like walking on a surging sea of blood.
Every time the soles of the boots stepped on the fluffy blood moss, a muffled "puff puff" sound would be heard under the feet.
This then stirred up a cloud of spores that slowly dispersed in the air.
To avoid inhaling the spores that irritate the respiratory tract, everyone covered their mouths and noses with wet towels and had no intention of talking.
After walking for an hour, we finally crossed this beautiful yet dangerous wilderness.
After walking out of the blood tundra, Uncle Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone with a smile:
"In fact, where blood moss grows, there are often poisonous insects and strange monsters, such as blood moss worms, digging worms, and even petrified lizards."
"I didn't dare to tell you just now because I was afraid of scaring you."
"Fortunately, we were lucky this time and did not encounter those terrible monsters."
Not far from the blood tundra, there is a circle of mushrooms made up of giant mushrooms standing in front.
Alan saw it from afar and was deeply shocked!
The huge mushroom circle looks like the Salisbury Stonehenge that I visited in my previous life.
It’s just that they are not artificially stacked stone products, but naturally grown mushrooms.
So it is even more magical and more visually impactful!
Just when everyone was deeply shocked by the mushroom circle that looked like high-rise buildings, a sneer came from the mushroom forest.
"You actually caught up with me, you really don't care about your lives!"
"Since we are here, why not just sleep here forever!"
Five figures walked out of the mushroom forest side by side.
The Amazing Circus's strongmen, puppeteers, magicians, snake charmers, and... the animal tamers with whips.
All five of them had murderous looks on their faces and stopped Alan and his group.
"Hehe~ handsome boy, you are mine!"
The trainer approached Alan with a sly smile on his face, waving a whip.
Alan had a blank expression on his face as he silently practiced his physical training technique "Copper Skin and Iron Bones" to resist the whipping.
With a crisp crackling sound, the whip hit the body, so light that it was not even a tickle.
Alan immediately understood that the trainer was just faking the fight and didn't use any strength at all!
"Brother Allen, come with me."
While the trainer was acting , he secretly made calls through "telepathy".
Alan said nothing, and slapped the whip away with his palm.
"ah!!"
The trainer suddenly screamed and turned pale.
Thump thump thump!
Three big steps back!
The right hand holding the whip was shaking violently, as if its bones had been shattered.
"puff!!"
The animal trainer turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood that looked so lifelike.
"What a fierce palm technique! It can actually injure people through whiplash... It hurts my heart!"
The tamer glared at Alan resentfully, covered his heart, turned around and ran away.
Allen was too embarrassed to complain about her over-the-top acting and strode after her.
The two men, one chasing and the other fleeing, gradually moved away from the melee area.
When they reached the depths of the mushroom forest, the trainer suddenly stopped.
She turned around and gave him a warning look.
Alan also stopped and looked around vigilantly, sensing that something was wrong!
