Chapter 134: Sunset Forest
🕑 Added 2025-03-14 10:09:01 +0000 UTCSunset forest.
According to legend, many years ago, a sun fell from the sky here, so the people who witnessed this scene named this forest the Sunset Forest!
This seems to be just an illusory legend, and almost everyone thinks it is just a rumor. But Sun Zhongjing thinks otherwise. He thinks that this legend can be passed down for so many years, it must not be groundless. There must be some reason.
For example, this legend is true.
Thinking about the fact that there was such a treasure land in this forest and the origin of that treasure land, he thought he had guessed what the legendary “sun” was.
The sun that ancient people saw was not necessarily the sun. It was more likely some huge object that emitted strong energy light… For example, the fallen body of a god-level dragon!
In front of him was an inverted cone-shaped valley.
Sun Zhongjing and Dugu Bo came here at this moment. The top of the mountain where they were was the edge of the valley. Thick hot air rose from the valley. The hot air was very humid and had a bit of the unique smell of sulfur.
It looks like there should be a hot spring-like place below.
“Master, that strange place is right below.” Dugu Bo pointed downwards.
“Go down and take a look.”
Sun Zhongjing nodded and said.
Then the two of them jumped directly from the dark and bottomless mountain. Due to the thick fog and the night, coupled with the steepness of the cliff, in just a blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared in the mist.
Both of them were Title Douluo, and flying was just a basic operation. Therefore, this kind of steep mountain wall might be difficult for others, but it was not worth mentioning for strong men of their level.
Soon, the two landed in the valley.
A strange hot spring appeared before my eyes.
The hot spring area is not large, but it is divided into two parts. The colors of the hot spring water in the oval pool are milky white and scarlet respectively. What is even more strange is that although they are in the same pool, they are clearly separated and do not invade each other, always staying on their own side.
The steam that had been rolling up earlier was produced by the area between the two hot springs. It continued to rise until it slowly dissipated at the mountain pass.
‘Finally arrived, the famous check-in spot.’
Looking at such a magnificent scene, Sun Zhongjing, who seemed calm on the surface, was actually a little excited in his heart. Because if he didn’t have the cheat, then this pool in front of him would be the key to changing his fate.
In the twenty years since the cheats arrived, he had been eyeing this place for a long time. However, because he was an ordinary person, even if he had money and could hire some soul masters, he could not get in here. Moreover, the Sunset Forest was very large, and he did not know the exact location of this place. How could he accurately find this treasure in the vast jungle?
In addition to this, Dugu Bo has set up a poison array around this treasure land, and basically anyone who gets close will be poisoned to death.
As for imitating the original novel’s Tang San to deceive Dugu Bo?
Don’t make a fuss, he doesn’t know how to detoxify, and he doesn’t understand pharmacology.
It is for that reasons that Ye Cheng could only live as an ordinary person for more than 20 years even though he knew there was a treasure land and that this place was the key to changing his fate. If there was no plug-in, his life might have just passed like this.
Sun Zhongjing was filled with emotion, but it was a pity that he could no longer use the magical herbs here.
But even though he couldn’t use it himself, it would definitely not be a waste to use this precious land to train his subordinates. The most important thing was not to let that little jerk Tang San get away with it. It would be better to destroy it than to help the enemy!
“What a great place, what a great place!”
Sun Zhongjing looked around and exclaimed: “I finally understand why you can survive even when the poison in your body is so strong, and why you can cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm.”
“Master, is there anything strange about this place?” Dugu Bo couldn’t help but ask when he saw him talking about himself.
“I can feel that this place is filled with two extreme energies!” Sun Zhongjing stroked his long beard and explained with a smile, “Whether it is humans or animals living in this place, their bodies will be impacted by the two extreme energies in a short period of time. If they cannot leave in time, they will explode and die.”
“But for someone like you who is full of poisons, it actually has a huge benefit. Extreme heat and extreme cold can both suppress poisons. And this place has both, and it suppresses poisons even more strongly. Otherwise, all kinds of rare plants wouldn’t be able to grow here at the same time.”
“It is precisely because of the influence of the two extreme properties here that your body can suppress the poison in your body and prevent it from breaking out. The characteristics of this place itself are to protect the surrounding plants, but I didn’t expect it to become a good thing for you to protect yourself and save your life.” He concluded.
Dugu Bo suddenly understood what was going on, and at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel lucky for his good luck. He found this place by chance when he was in his 30s. At that time, his martial soul was not the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, but just the Jade Phosphor Serpent. But even so, the poison attached to the martial soul at that time had already made him feel the threat to his life.
After accidentally finding this magical place, although Dugu Bo didn’t recognize most of the medicinal herbs, the few that he knew were of frighteningly high age!
He therefore determined that this was definitely a treasure land, and then he settled down here to practice in seclusion. Occasionally, he would use some of the herbs here to make poisons or nourishing potions. It was thanks to the high-age herbs here that Dugu Bo was able to reach the realm of Titled Douluo step by step.
After he became a Titled Douluo, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul also evolved and became the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul. The toxin became extremely fierce!
At this time, the toxins in his body began to become very serious. It started to get worse day by day, and the help that the surrounding environment could provide to him was already very limited.
After Sun Zhongjing finished speaking, he began to search carefully around the hot spring, identifying the characteristics and names of the various herbs here…
He discovered that there were many kinds of magical herbs in this place. In addition to the magical herbs that appeared in the original novel, there were many other magical herbs that did not appear in the original novel. However, in his character’s memory, they were on the list. In terms of the knowledge of medicinal herbs, no one in the world knows better than him.
Because according to the setting of the character, Sun Zhongjing tasted all kinds of herbs, and therefore he knew the medicinal properties of all herbs in the world!
As for whether the real him knew it or tasted the immortal herb, no one knows. Anyway, the setting is set like this, and no one can come to debunk it.
