"Our Shrek Academy just moved here, and we still need to go to Blue Tyrant Academy to settle in today. I need to go check on the situation there and let the teachers know so they won't worry."

"So, let's set off for the poisonous miasma tomorrow."

Yu Tianheng was somewhat anxious, but he couldn't force the issue, since Tang San had already agreed to help.

"Tomorrow...that's fine too."

"By the way, Tang San, is it alright to leave Yanzi like this?"

Yu Tianheng pointed to the unconscious Dugu Yan on the bed, still feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Just leave it like this for now."

After thinking for a moment, Tang San said, "However, it would be best to have a healing-type Soul Master treat her every day."

"Although this won't cure her poisoning, it can help soothe her body, maintain her vitality, and prevent the toxins from damaging her body too much."

"Only when we find the antidote will she have enough strength to recover quickly."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away. Thank you, Tang San."

Upon receiving a positive answer, Yu Tianheng breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed his first smile in days.

After saying that, Yu Tianheng quickly ran out, obviously to contact the Ye family's healing-type soul master.

Tang San stood there, looking at the unconscious Dugu Yan on the bed, his brows furrowing again.

"With so many toxins mixed together, even if these toxins can interact with each other, they shouldn't produce such a strong toxicity."

"There seems to be a special energy at play here, stimulating the toxicity of these toxins. But what exactly is it?"

Tang San muttered to himself, feeling utterly perplexed by the situation he had just discovered within Dugu Yan's body.

"Forget it, I can't figure it out now. I'll just go to Sunset Forest tomorrow and see for myself."

"I hope to successfully cure Dugu Yan's poison, and I also hope that the toxins in that poisonous miasma can help me refine some special poisons and hidden weapons."

It turns out that Tang San agreed so readily not only because he genuinely wanted to help, but also because he had another ulterior motive.

He planned to use the various toxins in the poisonous miasma of Sunset Forest to refine some of the Tang Clan's unique hidden weapons, as well as some of the Tang Clan's secret poisons and antidotes.

For a master of poisons like him, such a natural poisonous miasma was a treasure trove.

Afterwards, Tang San also left the Dugu Mansion and headed to Blue Tyrant Academy to meet up with the others, following the directions he had previously inquired about.

There, Tang San learned about the long-buried past between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, and also understood why his teacher had been avoiding coming to Tiandou City.

The Shrek students successfully joined Blue Tyrant Academy, or rather, Blue Tyrant Academy was renamed Shrek Academy.

The next morning, the sun had just begun to shine on the streets of Tiandou City.

Outside the gates of Blue Tyrant Academy, which should now be called Shrek Academy.

Tang San and Yu Tianheng have already met here.

The two exchanged a few words and were about to set off for the Ten Mile Poisonous Mist in Sunset Forest.

"Hey mistress, wait for us!"

Just as they were about to take a step, Xiao Wu's clear voice suddenly came from behind them.

Tang San turned around and was stunned.

Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong—the Shrek Academy members had all come over, each with a smile on their face.

"Xiao Wu, Boss Dai, what brings you here?"

Tang San asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yesterday you told us you were going to Sunset Forest to collect toxins, we were just worried you might get into danger."

Dai Mubai strode forward, patted Tang San on the shoulder, and laughed heartily, "After all, Sunset Forest is one of the three great soul beast forests. Anything can happen inside. More people means more protection."

"This...is too dangerous. You don't need to go with us."

Tang San frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Xiao Wu, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't that he didn't believe in his companions' strength, but the place they were going to this time was the poisonous miasma of Sunset Forest, which was different from ordinary soul beast forests.

If something were to happen, Tang San was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of Xiao Wu.

"Third Brother, what are you saying!"

Xiao Wu immediately pouted, ran to Tang San's side in three quick steps, and grabbed his arm.

"Aren't I just as worried about you? If you go in alone while I wait outside, that would be really tough!"

"That's it."

Ma Hongpang also came over and said with a grin, "Little San, Master was dragged shopping by Dean Liu today. We can take this opportunity to go out and have some fun. It's so boring to stay cooped up in the academy all day."

"Fatty, you bastard."

Tang San couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ma Hongjun's grinning face. He said, "I think you only want to come with me to avoid being lazy."

After laughing, he looked around at everyone and saw that their eyes were full of concern and determination. A warm feeling welled up in his heart, and he nodded.

"Alright then, everyone come with me."

"However, once you enter the Sunset Forest, be careful. Stay close together and don't stray too far apart, lest you be ambushed by soul beasts."

"it is good!"

The crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with excitement.

Afterwards, the group chatted and laughed as they left the city and headed towards Sunset Forest along the official road.

Back then, Wang Teng spent several months wandering through this vast Sunset Forest in search of the location of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

That was mainly because he knew nothing about the exact location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, and wandered around in the deep mountains and forests for countless detours before finally finding that hidden place.

However, Tang San and his group had a much easier time venturing into the Ten Mile Poisonous Mist this time.

After Dugu Yan was poisoned, she had intermittently told Yu Tianheng the approximate location of the poisonous miasma before she fell into a coma.

Therefore, with a clear goal in mind, they arrived at their destination smoothly in just over half a day.

However, when they actually got closer to the area, the sight before them took everyone by surprise.

Surprisingly, a large number of people had gathered near the ten-mile-long poisonous miasma.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, there are quite a few Soul Masters among these people.

Judging from their clothing, some were scions of major families in the Heaven Dou Empire, some were spies sent by sects, and some looked like lone wandering souls.

Some of these people were scattered around in twos and threes, whispering and discussing something; others were going in and out of the poisonous miasma, as if exploring the situation inside.

In addition, not far from the poisonous miasma, there were rows of soldiers standing in neat rows, wearing fine armor and holding spears and bows.

These soldiers were all upright and serious, clearly the regular army of the Heavenly Dou royal family.

The Tiandou soldiers guarded several main passages.

Chapter 261 Changes in the Original Plot 4: Tang San Enters the Poisonous Mist

Although the Tiandou soldiers did not completely seal off the entire poisonous miasma area.

However, judging from their posture, they were clearly monitoring everything that was happening here.

"Huh, why are so many people gathered here?"

Tang San stopped and looked at the scene before him with some confusion.

"And judging from the way these soldiers are acting, they've surrounded this place?"

Around the poisonous miasma, soldiers gathered at intervals.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng quickly stepped forward to explain, "You don't know, this poisonous miasma wasn't originally this big or this poisonous."

"It has become like this because the original poisonous miasma suddenly transformed in a very short period of time."

"Furthermore, the changes here are likely related to Senior Poison Douluo, so after this poisonous miasma was accidentally discovered, it immediately attracted the attention of the Heaven Dou Royal Family and various major forces."

"Everyone wants to know what exactly happened inside, and whether Senior Dugu Bo really had an accident."

"The place is surrounded by soldiers, they won't let us in, will they?"

Oscar looked at the soldiers who were standing ready for battle and asked with a slight frown.

"Will not."

Yu Tianheng shook his head, his tone certain, and said, "This poisonous miasma is not the private property of the Heaven Dou royal family. They cannot go against the will of the world and forcibly prevent all soul masters from entering."

"Furthermore, don't you even look at how vast this poisonous miasma is? Unless the Heavenly Dou royal family is willing to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers here to completely surround the perimeter of the poisonous miasma, how can they possibly stop it?"

"Besides, even if they do surround it, can they really stop the Soul Masters from breaking in?"

"You should know that the individual combat strength of a Soul Master is much stronger than that of these ordinary soldiers."

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's lips curled into a smile, and he urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

After saying that, the group passed the soldiers' sentry posts and continued to approach the poisonous miasma.

Although the soldiers noticed them, as Yu Tianheng said, their role here was merely to monitor and gather intelligence.

Therefore, the soldiers on the periphery of the poisonous miasma did not step forward to stop them, but only stared at the backs of the group of young people with wary eyes.

Soon, the group arrived at the outer edge of the poisonous miasma.

Although it's called the outer perimeter, this place is actually already considered to be within the range of poisonous miasma.

There were faint, dust-like particles floating in the air around us. They were almost invisible to the naked eye, but we could feel something different when we breathed them.

The Shrek members had only been inside for a short while when they felt a tickle in their throats and couldn't help but cough softly.

"Cough-cough-cough-"

As a food-type Soul Master, Oscar had the weakest physique among them, and his reaction was the most obvious. He started coughing violently after only a few steps, and his face turned red from holding his breath.

"Oscar, and everyone else, be careful."

Tang San immediately became alert. He looked around and warned in a deep voice, "The air here already contains toxins."

"what?"
