After bidding farewell to the Snow Woman, Su Mu and the mysterious man in black resolutely embarked on their arduous journey to search for the Earth Spirit Mushroom.
Before them lay an expansive and boundless misty forest, aptly named, shrouded year-round in a thick, unyielding fog that rendered visibility within the forest astonishingly low.
Su Mu and the man in black walked cautiously through the eerie woods, as if treading on thin ice.
The towering trees around them reached up into the clouds, seemingly trying to pierce the heavens; their lush branches intertwined like enormous parasols, completely blocking out the sky and allowing only a few faint rays of light to filter through.
The ground was carpeted with a thick layer of withered yellow leaves, and with each step they took, a rustling sound echoed beneath their feet, as if the ancient forest were whispering secrets.
“Be extra careful!” the man in black warned gravely. “This misty forest is no ordinary place. It is home to all sorts of vicious and poisonous creatures, and it harbors many unknown and unpredictable dangers.
A moment's carelessness could lead us to an irreversible fate.” Hearing this, Su Mu nodded solemnly, understanding the gravity of their situation.
He gripped tightly onto his gleaming sword, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, constantly scanning for any signs of movement around them.
However, despite their utmost caution, the dense fog acted like an insurmountable barrier, mercilessly obstructing their line of sight.
In this vast sea of mist, they had nearly lost all sense of direction and could only rely on their limited and vague perception to navigate forward.
Time passed quietly without their notice, yet neither had discovered even a trace of the Earth Spirit.
“Sigh, this misty forest is just too vast,” Su Mu lamented, his face clouded with worry. “Searching blindly like this without any leads seems hopeless; finding the Earth Spirit will not be easy.”
“Indeed,” the man in black replied slowly, his expression serious. “We urgently need to find some crucial clues; otherwise, completing this mission may prove difficult.” Just as he finished speaking, a faint yet distinct rustling sound suddenly drifted toward them from not far away.
The sound seemed to indicate that some creature was swiftly moving through the grass, tightening their hearts with unease.
"What is that sound?" Su Mu asked, his face showing surprise as he turned to the source of the noise, nervously inquiring of the man in black beside him.
"Be careful!" The man in black warned, his gaze sharp and voice lowered.
Without hesitation, the two quickly moved toward the sound.
As they drew closer, the surrounding mist thickened, greatly obstructing their vision.
However, they did not stop; instead, they cautiously pushed aside the heavy fog with their hands.
Finally, through the layers of dense mist, a shocking sight appeared before them—a massive python coiled upon a towering tree.
The giant python's body was as thick as a barrel, covered in dazzling, multicolored scales that shimmered under the faint light, emitting an extraordinary and brilliant glow.
What was particularly striking were its crimson eyes, resembling burning flames, radiating a fierce and brutal cold light that sent chills down their spines.
"It’s a Mist Python!" the man in black exclaimed in shock, his voice filled with astonishment and dread. "This is an extremely dangerous magical beast; its venom is exceptionally potent and can kill a person in an instant."
"I see..." Su Mu furrowed his brow, nodding thoughtfully. He understood that this encounter meant they were about to face a life-and-death battle.
After all, the Mist Python before them was not only enormous but also incredibly powerful.
Moreover, they were deep within the Mist Forest, where the environment was complex and ever-changing. The thick fog gave the python a significant advantage. Defeating it and obtaining the Spirit of Earth would not be an easy task.
The Mist Python flicked its crimson tongue, hissing as it sensed the hostility from Su Mu and the man in black. Suddenly, it lunged down from the tree, its massive body striking like a bolt of lightning towards Su Mu and the man.
Su Mu and the man in black were already prepared. They swiftly dodged to the side while drawing their weapons, ready to engage in battle.
Su Mu's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, while the man in black wielded powerful palm techniques. Together, they launched an intense fight against the Mist Python. The python was immensely strong, with tough skin and flesh; Su Mu's sword only left shallow scratches on its body. Meanwhile, the python's attacks were ferocious, its massive tail sweeping through the air with a whistling sound. Su Mu and the man in black dared not take it head-on and could only evade continuously.
In the misty forest, thick fog obscured their vision, complicating the battle further. Relying on their keen senses, Su Mu and the man in black maneuvered around the Mist Python amidst the haze.
The fight dragged on for quite some time, with both sides exhausting considerable stamina. Su Mu and the man in black gradually felt overwhelmed, while the Mist Python also sustained significant injuries, its movements becoming sluggish.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Mu unleashed a set of sword techniques recorded in the Heavenly Mechanism Medical Codex. The sword light flickered like silver snakes dancing wildly, enveloping the Mist Python. With a piercing roar, the massive creature collapsed to the ground.
After the Mist Python fell, a pure yellow energy emanated from its body, coalescing into a translucent orb—the Spirit of Earth.
Su Mu stepped forward and collected the Spirit of Earth into his possession.
"Finally obtained the Spirit of Earth," Su Mu said, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.
"Next, we can unlock the seal of the Heavenly Mechanism Medical Codex," said the man in black.
They left the misty forest and continued their journey.
