group of flying anglerfish sensed the danger emanating from the black flames and immediately panicked, emitting screams filled with terror. In the end, they abandoned their attack on the invaders encr...Looking back now, the blood rain had completely vanished. The previous experience felt like a dream, replaced by countless mysterious and intricate runes floating in mid-air.

Qin Sang tsked in amazement, turned around, and looked at the deep mountain cave.
The cave was eerily silent. The entrance was only wide enough for one person to pass through, but inside it seemed to widen. There was no trace of monstrous energy, nor were there any ghostly figures. Everything looked perfectly ordinary.
Qin Sang's gaze shifted, and he saw the mountain wall. The smooth stone surface was covered with a layer of shimmering, fine-grained material that resembled gold and iron in its texture, incredibly hard.
The entire mountain was covered by a prohibition, not only could spells like earth escape not be used, nor could it be destroyed by brute force. If you wanted to pass through this mountain, you could only honestly walk in through the cave.
However, this cave gave Qin Sang a very strange feeling. It didn't seem to be formed naturally. Could it have been broken open by a powerful being with great magical powers
Qin Sang's heart skipped a beat.
"Senior, if we pass through this cave, will we enter the inner valley"
The cloud-traveling wanderer nodded, staring intently into the depths of the cave, as if searching for something. Then, with a flick of his hand, a beam of white light shot out from the cave and landed in his palm.
"No one has ever been here!"

The Cloud Wanderer nodded, just about to step into the cave when he suddenly remembered something. He took out a jade bottle and tossed it to Qin Sang, "Qin little brother, take this."
Qin Sang took the jade bottle and looked inside. There were two dark green pills inside.
The two pills were identical in size to a lychee, their surfaces uneven and mottled like they had been coated in mud. They looked strange and gave off an emerald-green aura that filled the jade bottle.
All the healing elixirs I've seen before, though they came in various colors and were mostly crystal clear with a magnificent appearance, seemed like precious medicinal concoctions. I had never seen such an odd elixir!

Couldn't it be poison
Qin Sang mumbled to himself.
Upon opening the jade bottle, a wave of stench, overpowering and nauseating, assaulted Qin Sang's nostrils. His expression shifted slightly as he hurriedly snapped the bottle shut.
The Cloud Walker burst into laughter. "Qin, little brother, don't look at this pill as strange. We'll need it to save our lives soon. Take the pill first and wait for my instructions before swallowing it."
Seeing the wandering cloud merchant selling riddles, Qin Sang didn't ask any more. After smelling the medicinal fragrance emitted by the pill, Qin Sang could tell that it was harmless.
This green pill is not a poison pill; it may have other uses.
Qin Sang suppressed his curiosity, holding the jade bottle in his hand and following Yun Youzi into the room.
The passage was dark and lifeless, the spiritual energy Yun Youzi channeled into his eyes only allowed him to barely see the surroundings close by. He made no move to light a fire, silently advancing through the passage.
It was distinctly noticeable that the passage sloped downwards, becoming increasingly steeper. Without Cloud Walker's command, Qin Sang dared not recklessly use his spiritual power and could only walk on foot.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the cloud wanderer suddenly stopped.
Then, Qin Sang heard Yun Youzi's voice transmission, "Qin younger brother, the road ahead is difficult, you cannot use your spiritual power, be careful, and don't slip. Also, when you see my hand gesture, immediately take that pill."

Qin Sang, hearing this, stepped forward and looked. He saw that the mountain wall on his right was still there, but the left side had become incredibly wide, with no end in sight.
The road wasn't broken, but it had become very narrow, only wide enough for one foot.
The air ahead was very humid, and it seemed like there was a pool of water below.
At the same time, Qin Sang discovered a green aura floating in front of him. He smelled a faint stench from his nose, exactly the same as the smell emanating from the pill he had.
Seeing these, Qin Sang's heart probably had a guess.
Their backs pressed against the stone wall, they moved forward slowly. The path still slanted downward. They had walked for a long distance, but Qin Sang hadn't heard any sound of flowing water. However, he could clearly feel the air becoming increasingly damp.
And, that green stench grew stronger and stronger, filling the air with a foul odor.
Just then, the Cloud Wanderer suddenly stopped and remained motionless for a long time.
Qin Sang was puzzled. She turned her head and saw Yun Youzi staring intently ahead, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Senior, what's wrong"
Qin Sang's heart sank, she was ready to use her magic weapon at any moment and sent a voice transmission over.
The cloud traveler hesitated for a moment before replying, "There was no sound."
No sound
Qin Sang secretly thought, could this not be a good thing
The Cloud Wanderer then explained to Qin Sang.
"This was once a nest of Starvenom Toads. The green mist is formed from their breath."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
This kind of poison dart frog is extremely toxic. Even a cultivator in the alchemy stage would have to retreat three steps when facing an adult star poison frog, afraid of being touched by its toxins.
"However, it is very peculiar that the smell of a certain kind of terrestrial poison dart frog is extremely similar to that of the star poison frog."
“I took some poison from ordinary toads and combined it with several herbs that carried a peculiar scent. I refined them into pills that, when consumed, would imbue the user with this very same odor. The effect lasts for half an hour, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.”
This allows you to deceive the Star Poison Frog's spirit sense and easily pass through its nest.
“For some reason, we’ve made it this far and haven’t heard a single call from the star poison frogs. Could something have happened to them”
Qin Sang heard this and looked ahead, but unfortunately the green mist was too thick to see anything. "Senior, when you were here last time, was the Star Venom Frog always croaking"
"That's right!"
The Cloud Wanderer nodded, "The Star Poison Frog's croak sounds much like ordinary frogs, audible from a great distance."
Will the Star-poisoned frog have a hibernation period

Qin Sang racked his brains, trying to guess, "Apart from this, are there any other changes Such as mist or smell"
"No, that's why I find it strange... Never mind! Qin little brother, first swallow that pill, and then we'll know…"
The cloud traveler made up his mind, swallowed the pill, and continued on.
Not long after, Qin Sang discovered that the green mist under his feet had vanished. It turned out that beneath it wasn't a pool of water but a quagmire.
Here, the stone path no longer continues downward, but goes straight ahead.
Advancing amidst the mire, Yun Youzi and Qin Sang moved with caution.
After taking only a few steps, Qin Sang suddenly noticed something peculiar in the depths of the green mist. He hurriedly called out to Yun Youzi, "Senior, what is that over there"
The cloud traveler was startled, he turned his body sideways and followed Qin Sang's finger to look closely. Suddenly, his expression changed slightly. He took out a transparent thin thread from his pouch and snapped it with his fingers.
A thin strand shot silently into the depths of the green mist, winding back a white object.
It was actually the corpse of a poisonous frog!
The body was the size of a hand.
The white is the poison frog's belly. Its back is emerald green, blending with the mist. It's covered in bumps and warts, stained with mud, making it even more repulsive.
"He's dead!"
Qin Sang pointed to the top of the poisonous frog's head, where there was a blood hole piercing through its skull. It died with one blow.
"This is a juvenile poison dart frog!"
The Cloud Wanderer's face was grim. "To be killed so easily, and to have my most precious poison pouch taken...," he said.aving, Qin Sang sent a message to Liu's madam's informant.For more than a year, Madam Liu has been out of contact.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Having assassinated...
