Chapter 690 Poison Ze
Ye Kang looked up and saw Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er staring at him in surprise.
Standing in front of them was Yin Xingtang; the trio were always inseparable.
Surprisingly, Yang Yan was also standing next to Yin Xingtang.
He stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a long blue robe and with flowing hair. His gentle smile froze on his face when he saw Ye Kang.
What a coincidence! Today is a day off, and many people are choosing to go home, while others are choosing to go out and gain experience.
Yang Yan had found out that Yin Xingtang was going to Qianduze today, so he deliberately followed her to create a chance encounter.
He wasn't interested in Yin Xingtang, but he was very interested in Yin Xingtang's family background.
There's no need to get married; just being on good terms with Yin Xingtang will be excellent for your future.
Yang Yan was trying to get closer to Ye Kang when Ye Kang suddenly appeared, interrupting his plan.
Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er, in particular, exchanged a glance and then waved to Ye Kang without hesitation: "Fellow Daoist Ye, where are you going?"
Ye Kang wasn't from the county town, so he definitely wasn't going home for dinner.
Ye Kang didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's fate that we're all going there. I'm going to the Thousand Poison Swamp."
Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er's eyes lit up instantly.
"What a coincidence! We were just on our way, and so are Fellow Daoist Yang Yan. Since we are so destined, why don't we travel together?"
"I have no opinion."
Ye Kang smiled slightly, not refusing.
He wasn't looking for any secret treasure; he was just picking some Misty Grass. There was nothing shameful about it.
It just so happens that he is completely unfamiliar with the Thousand Poison Swamp, so having someone to guide him is a good thing.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the atmosphere among the four people in front of him seemed a bit off.
Sure enough, upon seeing Ye Kang agree, Zhao Yu'er immediately sent a telepathic message to Yin Xingtang: "Xingtang, this is going to be fun. This Yang Yan is so annoying, it's perfect to have Ye Kang annoy him."
It turns out that Zhao Yu'er and Wang Chi had the idea of using one tiger to devour another.
They naturally knew what kind of person Yang Yan was and disliked him at all, but Yang Yan had some reputation and family background, so it wouldn't be good to offend him too much.
Just then, Ye Kang arrived. Given Yang Yan's personality, he must have felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten something...
He's uncomfortable, and they're happy.
However, they underestimated Yang Yan's hypocrisy.
The gloom in his eyes only flashed for a moment before he immediately burst into joyful laughter.
"That's excellent! Brother Ye is very strong. With him by our side, the journey to the Thousand Poison Swamp will surely be smooth!"
He rushed over as if he were seeing a brother, grabbed Ye Kang's arm, and led him forward.
Yin Xingtang remained silent throughout, simply summoning a carriage. Soon after, two tall, magnificent horses covered in faint scales galloped over from afar.
Ye Kang was slightly surprised; those were two extremely handsome fire-riding dragon steeds!
Those below the Nirvana Realm are not allowed to fly within the city limits, and even outside the city limits, they cannot fly high, so they naturally need a means of transportation.
The Fire-Treading Dragon Steed is undoubtedly the most noble mount for transportation.
Because this is a versatile talent cultivated by the imperial court, with feet treading on fire, handsome but not effeminate, forelegs covered in dragon scales, and eyes like comets.
Not only are they fast runners, but they also have incredible stamina, making them an essential pet for home and travel – truly exceptional.
The only downside is that it has little combat power.
As expected of a general's daughter, Yin Xingtang always had two fiery dragon steeds waiting for her outside, which was quite a show of status.
As the two dragon steeds approached, the carriage automatically harnessed itself to them. Yin Xingtang turned her head and said, "Come on up, there's plenty of space."
"Then we'll benefit greatly from Fellow Daoist Yin's kindness."
Yang Yan bowed respectfully and climbed onto the carriage first, followed by Ye Kang.
The space inside was indeed quite large, almost equivalent to a room.
Clearly, the carriage also used a special spatial array.
Ye Kang sat by a window, parted the curtains, and saw the carriage speeding out of the city.
Surprisingly, at such a speed, the people inside the carriage did not feel much of a bump.
Ye Kang couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be rich."
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Yang, Fellow Daoist Ye, may I ask why you two went to Thousand Poison Swamp? The three of us accepted a mission from the academy to search for a few intelligent wild boars for the kitchen," Zhao Yu'er said.
"what?"
Yang Yan and Ye Kang were both stunned.
What do you need wild boar for in the kitchen?
"The academy can accept missions?"
The two spoke at the same time, but their focus was not on the same thing.
It's no wonder Ye Kang didn't know; no one had ever told him!
Wang Chi laughed and said, "Many teachers in the academy like to eat wild game, so it's not difficult. The reward isn't much either; consider it a learning experience."
"As for Fellow Daoist Ye, don't you know that you can accept and post missions in the square in front of the Academic Affairs Office?"
"I see……"
Ye Kang hadn't been to the Academic Affairs Office for a month, so naturally he didn't know.
He continued, "I went to find some 'Misty Grass' for my senior in the dormitory."
"I think I've heard of it before, it shouldn't be hard to find," Wang Chi nodded.
Then everyone looked at Yang Yan, who smiled slightly and said, "As a martial artist, practicing at the martial academy all the time is just empty talk. I was just thinking of going to the Thousand Poison Swamp to find a good opponent to test my recent training results."
Everyone nodded again. Although they each had their own purposes, at least they shared the same goal.
Of the four most dangerous places, the Thousand Poison Swamp is located directly west of the county town. It is a vast and expansive swamp that is shrouded in thick fog all day long, covered by dense forests and accumulating silt. Although it is a plain, it is difficult to move an inch.
Most importantly, the dense fog is too high and too thick, often swallowing up a martial artist's senses. If one were to fly in the Thousand Poison Swamp, they might very well crash headfirst into the depths of the swamp.
Therefore, walking is the only option.
Of course, what is most terrifying about the Thousand Poison Swamp is the poisonous creatures that are everywhere.
Unlike the Serpent Valley, which only contains snake venom, the Thousand Poison Swamp is a chaotic battleground of various poisonous creatures, much like raising Gu poison.
Fortunately, Ye Kang knew Ji Xiaohuan and had already prepared a bunch of antidote pills on him.
After galloping for three hours, the group finally stopped on an official road.
Yin Xingtang said coldly, "The official road is right here. If you go a little further to the right, you'll reach the outer swamp of the Thousand Poison Swamp."
Ye Kang opened the curtains and glanced down, then said, "I'll go down now. We have different purposes, so I won't trouble you any further."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
Wang Chi and Zhao Yu'er still wanted to persuade him to stay, since if Ye Kang left, who would bother Yang Yan?
But Yin Xingtang gave them a look that stopped them from trying to keep her.
Ye Kang got off the carriage and flew low to the right.
At the same time, the system voice also sounded.
【Ding】
[Task issued: Collect 500 jin of Misty Grass]
[Task Reward: 200000 Comprehension Points]
The lack of comprehension indicates that the task is also easy.
Ye Kang was not careless and kept cautiously surveying his surroundings.
As soon as you approach the Thousand Poison Swamp, you can feel strange auras emanating from it.
There was a putrid stench, a demonic aura, and a strange, distinct fragrance.
Upon arriving at the Thousand Poison Swamp, a thick fog enveloped the sky, making the interior seem bottomless, like a gaping abyss that blotted out the sun.
