Carson Flores’s eyes suddenly widened.
Harmony Hollow was deemed unsolvable precisely because of its irresistible deadly poison that could weaken people, deprive them of their combat power, and make them worse than ordinary people.
Everyone was at a loss, yet Joaquin Moses claimed she had a way to resist the deadly poison?
Joaquin Moses whispered an explanation, "Harmony Hollow is known as a place of no return, but in fact, some people have left it alive."
"My father told me that when he was clearing out storage, he inadvertently found a Jade Slip from a thousand years ago. The Jade Slip’s owner was a Divinity Transformation Stage powerhouse who was hunted by the Blood Shadow. In his panic, he stumbled into Harmony Hollow."
"As expected, he quickly succumbed to severe poisoning, became too weak to maintain flight, and fell beside a towering tree in Harmony Hollow, a tree that harbored many peacock-like demon beasts with bright red feathers."
"These demon beasts attacked him. He was too weak to fight back and could only unleash his magical treasure, an artifact that stored a powerful attack of a mighty individual. He decimated many of the demon beasts, and one of them pounced on him. In desperation, he grappled with the beast and bit open its throat."
"He swallowed a lot of the demon beast’s blood and to his astonishment, he found that his strength was partially restored, and the poisoning had greatly subsided. The blood of these peacock-like demon beasts could actually slow the poison."
"He was excited. He had found a way to resist the poison of Harmony Hollow. Even if he didn’t need it for himself, he could trade this information for anything he desired."
"He recorded the appearance of the demon beasts in the Jade Slip, the location of the gigantic tree, the path he mistakenly entered, and the entire story. He also took a large bottle of the demon beasts’ blood. To be extra cautious, he concealed all of this information among countless trivial details in the Jade Slip to avoid attracting attention, then slipped out of Harmony Hollow in a different direction."
"Unfortunately, man’s calculations are no match for heaven’s. Just as he slipped out of Harmony Hollow, he was located by the assassins of Blood Shadow. The assassin crept close, launched a full-force strike; his body was still poisoned, and his strength severely compromised, leaving him no time to dodge. He was killed instantly."
"The assassin took his Space Ring, and the Jade Slip was cast aside as junk, until my father, while clearing some old miscellaneous items, came upon it by chance, deciphered the story, and was greatly surprised. He personally checked the archives from a thousand years ago and confirmed the truth of this man’s tale."
"Regrettably, the vial of demon beast blood was no longer there, probably thrown away as waste at the time, otherwise, we could’ve directly verified it at the edge of Harmony Hollow."
After listening to the entire story, Carson Flores’s brow furrowed, and he looked skeptical, "The peculiar poison of Harmony Hollow affects humans but seems ineffective against the Demon Race. Powerful humans have thought of using demon beast blood and conducted numerous experiments, but no one has succeeded. Do those peacock-like demon beasts with red feathers truly exist? I mean, is it really more than just a story?"
Joaquin Moses firmly replied, "There’s visual proof that it’s definitely not just a story."
Carson’s eyes lit up, "So, the blood of that type of demon beast can indeed detoxify?"
"It can’t completely detoxify, but it can significantly alleviate the symptoms of the poison."
Joaquin Moses responded, "My father has done much research, and according to the map location, the point where the intruder entered Harmony Hollow was right near the Yin-Yang midline of Harmony Hollow. At that time, he was fleeing for his life at high speed, and he was flying at high altitude, so the poisoning would be slower than on the ground, meaning from the moment of intrusion to when the poison took effect, he flew a great distance into Harmony Hollow."
"The position of that towering tree is relatively close to the central area. Legend has it that in the center of Harmony Hollow, there is one Yin and one Yang, two Harmony Eyes, and near these Harmony Eyes, there is spring water that can completely neutralize the poison. My father speculates whether these demon beasts might have flown to the Harmony Eyes, drank the spring water, or eaten something else that can detoxify. Over time, their blood also acquired the ability to detoxify to some extent."
Carson fell silent for a moment, finding himself momentarily at a loss for words to refute.
The explanation made sense!
"You stole the Soul Devouring Bow and went to find the Beast Taming Bag to deal with those peacock-like demon beasts?"
Joaquin Moses nodded, "Yes, I want to take a risk and enter to capture one, then prove that it can indeed resist the deadly poison. I can use this as a bargaining chip to exchange with all the Sects in the world. Whoever kills the Foxwolf, I would give the blood that can resist the poison. I don’t think there’s a Sect that could resist such a temptation!"
Carson realized, "The many schemes you’ve planned are not for the Tomb of the Demon Emperor, but to avenge your father?"
Joaquin nodded, "It’s for revenge, as well as for self-preservation. Only by killing the Foxwolf will I be safe."
Carson stopped wasting words and said resolutely, "The Jade Slip, map, and everything else are on you, right? Follow me back to Nutwood."
