Chu Nan continued to control the Poison Resisting Halo to familiarize himself with its characteristics. The light blue light that was emitted from the halo was bright and dazzling, illuminating the area and allowing one to vaguely see the flat ground under his feet. At this moment, he saw that there were large black areas on the ground, and the areas were constantly changing. He squatted down and touched it. There were actually a few ants crawling on his hand, and there were large patches of bright red blood on the ground.
"This place is also crawling with ants.”His heart was filled with questions.
"Why are there so many bloodstains here? These ants were attracted by the blood stains. No wonder there was so much blood in the air today.”
He squatted down and grabbed the soil under the ant's feet. He pinched it in his hand and found that the blood had a slight smell of blood. It did not stink because of the deterioration of the blood. It was a normal smell of blood. It could be seen that the blood was fresh. It should have been sprinkled on it tonight.
"Could it be that there are traces of blood left behind by Yuan beasts fighting and biting each other?”
His meticulous thinking, keen observation skills, and his sensitive and cautious observation of his surroundings were habits he had developed in his previous life. These habits had been brought along with his soul to this new world.
He lit up the torch and carefully kneaded the soil mixed with Meta beast blood in his palm. The meticulous Chu Nan actually discovered that there were white powder particles in the soil mixed with Meta beast blood. He grabbed a handful of soil from each of the different soil and blood stains and found that the white powder was almost everywhere. Some of it had dissolved in the blood stains, but there were still some white powder that had not been dissolved.
This was…
Snake Bone Powder, also known as Snake Luring Powder! It was made from snake blood and snake bones, as well as related herbs. Its main effect was to attract the snake's attention and stimulate the snake's nerves.
How could there be so many Snake Attracting Powder here?
"No! If these were really bloodstains left behind by Meta Beasts, why were there no traces of Meta Beasts running or fighting here? Why was the ground so flat? When Meta Beasts fought, blood would often spill everywhere and trees would break. However, there was not even a single footprint on the ground. Moreover, what was with the Snake Luring Powder in the blood?”
"Eh, what's that?"
He walked to a few branches of a big tree. There were a few black cloth bags hanging on the branches. He opened the cloth bag and smelled it. There was a strong smell of Snake Attracting Powder in the cloth bag. It should have been thrown away after scattering the Snake Attracting Powder.
"As expected, these Snake Luring Powder and blood stains were sprinkled by someone.”
The Snake Attracting Powder actually didn't have much use. It was just that the medicinal boys who were collecting medicinal herbs would use the smell of the Snake Attracting Powder to distract the snakes when they passed by the lush forest. No matter what kind of snake it was, it would become extremely furious after smelling this smell. If someone was attacked by a snake, as long as the snake attracted the snake powder, the snake would become extremely irritable after smelling the smell emitted by the snake. The snake would turn its target to the snake, and the person could take this opportunity to escape.
However, when using the Snake Attracting Powder, one must not let the Snake Attracting Powder touch one's body. As long as one's body was stained with even the slightest bit of the Snake Attracting Powder's smell, one would become the target of the group of snakes.
He then thought of the furious datura snakes that he had encountered with the Chen family's disciples in the forest during the day. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
He couldn't help but change his expression and become vigilant. He suddenly had a bad premonition.
He quickly ran to the surroundings of their tent and surveyed it. He was surprised to find that within a few miles of the tent, there was a large amount of blood of Meta Beasts and Snake Attracting Powder.
He stuck his ear to the ground and listened carefully for any movements on the ground.
This was also an ability that Chu Nan had developed. He could determine the distance between him and the other party by listening to the sounds on the ground.
Sure enough, they heard the sound of crawling, and the sound was getting clearer and clearer. It was obvious that it was gradually approaching their tent, as if a large number of crawling creatures were crawling in their direction.
A group of datura snakes!
Moreover, this sound was even clearer than the sound they heard yesterday. Judging from the sound, the number of snakes was at least dozens of times that of yesterday. Moreover, it was obvious that they were their target. Now that they had been surrounded, a huge group of at least 100,000 datura snakes was rapidly approaching them.
No wonder it was so quiet near the tent last night. The Meta Beasts had all fled, and even the nests on the ancient trees could not be seen.
Due to their natural talent and survival instincts, Meta Beasts were far more alert than humans. At this moment, the nearby Meta Beasts and wild beasts had probably already sensed the imminent danger and fled.
One had to know that a horde of over a hundred thousand poisonous datura snakes was very terrifying. Under the stimulation of the Snake Luring Powder, these huge horde of snakes would be comparable to a million human soldiers in their furious state. For example, an ant might be very weak, but a colony of ants could easily devour a human army. There were more than 100,000 datura snakes, and even the lowest level one datura snake, even a level four beast would have to avoid them.
"Oh no, someone must have deliberately harmed us. While we were resting, they sprinkled a large amount of Meta Beast blood and Snake Luring Powder around us to attract the snakes to attack us. It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered. I didn't tell anyone about my trip out for training and no one in the clan knows about my recovery. I didn't even tell my father. In the eyes of the Chu Clan in Ping Yang Town, I am still a useless person. Therefore, no one would go to great lengths to spread so much Snake Attracting Powder to harm me. The target they wanted to frame should be Chen Tao and his sister.”
Then, he glanced at the tents of the Chen family's disciples and thought to himself," Chen Tao and his sister have already been targeted. It's hard to guard against a hidden arrow. I have to quickly inform the Chen family's siblings and the Chen family members to quickly prepare for battle." In the current situation, there was no way to escape. They could only go forward and fight the datura snakes to the death to obtain a chance of survival and minimize casualties. Otherwise, they would only sit and wait for death.”
Chu Nan leaped up and sprinted towards the tent where they had set up camp. He rushed towards the Chen siblings who were sleeping soundly.
"Brother Chen Tao, quickly prepare for battle. The situation here is very dangerous.”Chu Nan barged into Chen Tao's tent and woke up the sleeping Chen Tao and the other Chen family members.
"We are already surrounded by snakes. Someone deliberately set us up and scattered a large amount of Snake Attracting Powder around us. Now, there are at least 100,000 datura snakes.”Chu Nan hurriedly shouted.
In their panic, the Chen family was woken up by Chu Nan.
After a while, Chen Tao, Chen Lan, and a group of Chen Residence disciples had gathered in Chen Tao's tent, ready to discuss countermeasures.
"It must be that despicable Zheng Yu again! This bastard, if I can get out of here alive, I'll definitely tear them into pieces!”Chen Tao cursed.
Zheng Yu and Chen Tao were the Young Mansion Masters of the Zheng Clan and Chen Clan, two of the three great clans in the Heavenly Fate Soul Academy. They fought openly and secretly, scheming against each other.
"Could it be that you two have a grudge?" Chu Nan asked.
"A festival? Our hatred has long reached the point where we can't tolerate each other. " Zheng Yu is a sinister and crafty person. He has done things to the extreme. He has framed our Chen Residence's disciples many times in the past. This time, he must be the one behind it!”Then, Chen Tao picked up the big knife beside him and shouted,"Brothers, take your weapons and prepare to fight!"”
After Chen Tao gave the order, a disciple of the Chen Residence suddenly ran into the tent in a panic.
"Young Mansion Master, this is bad. Chen Wu and Chen Ping, who were on sentry duty outside, they both…"
Chen Wu and Chen Ping were both branch family disciples of the Chen Residence and could be considered Chen Tao's cousins.
"What happened to Chen Wu and Chen Ping?" Chen Tao didn't wait for the disciple to reply and quickly ran out of the tent. He discovered that there were two human-shaped rocks outside. They were standing upright. Their expressions were stiff and expressionless. They were covered in a layer of hard rock. The patterns on the rocks were exactly the same as the patterns on the datura snake.
After the bonfire party last night, Chen Tao had ordered the Chen family disciples to take turns to stand guard, just in case. They were on duty and on guard against the sudden attack of the Meta beasts. At this moment, there were two disciples on sentry duty standing there with stiff expressions. At least a hundred ants had already climbed onto their heads.
Chen Lan was the first to run over and touch the two disciples 'bodies that were currently covered in rocks. She could not help but turn pale with fright and cry out in surprise.
At this moment, Chen Ping and Chen Wu's bodies were already covered by a thick layer of snake-patterned rock.
"Petrification! They had been hit by the bloodline talent that only the datura snake king bloodline could use, Petrification!”Chen Lan shouted.
The Chen Residence disciples were in a panic.
Unexpectedly, the datura snake territory had actually turned out in full force at this time. Even the infamous datura snake king had come. That was a king with extremely terrifying strength!!!
