As soon as Wang Ming and Chu Jingling took a step forward into the purple fog, they felt a change in their senses—especially Wang Ming, who did not have the slightest bit of resistance against it.

Wang Ming frowned as he felt his senses become dull and experienced a slight headache.

Tap tap

He looked at Chu Jingling, who didn't seem to feel any difference, and saw her start walking forward.

Wang Ming took a deep breath, knowing this was just the beginning, and started following her from behind.

Just as they moved a short distance, Chu Jingling's voice rang out.

"Huh, isn't that the man who escaped from you?" Chu Jingling's voice rang out again as she pointed toward the man on the other side who was lying down. Wang Ming looked over and saw it was the squad leader who had run away from him. Now, his body was completely purple and lifeless on the ground, and Wang Ming saw his body starting to melt.

"Yeah, it is. Looks like whoever is inside left him here to die," Wang Ming said calmly.

"Inside?" Chu Jingling asked with a raised eyebrow as they kept walking.

"Yes, don't you feel the presence?" Wang Ming said to Chu Jingling, who closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were bloodshot.

"Damn, it's that bastard," Chu Jingling said with such anger that it even startled Wang Ming. Her eyes were blood-red as she emitted killing intent, and veins bulged from her forehead and arms.

"You know who it is?" Wang Ming asked, intrigued.

"Huff... yes, it's the leader of the Black Church," she took a deep breath to calm her emotions and replied.

'So it's the leader. No wonder I felt danger from this presence,' Wang Ming thought as he followed Chu Jingling, who had increased her speed.

The deeper they walked, the thicker the fog became, and the discomfort Wang Ming felt also increased.

At first, his senses were dulled even further, and his head grew heavier. Then, all of a sudden, his eyes started burning and—

"Cough!"

Wang Ming coughed a mouthful of blood and saw his skin start to turn purple. Sweat formed on his forehead as he fell to his knees.

[Ding Dong]

[Poison detected inside host]

Wang Ming saw the text and noticed the poison in the air was seeping directly into his body, as Chu Jingling continued to talk.

"That's why you should have used some kind of artifact or just left... huh, what are you doing?" Chu Jingling saw Wang Ming cough out blood and fall to the ground. She was about to give him a pill to heal the poison and advise him to leave, but then Wang Ming suddenly sat down cross-legged on the ground. Under her wide eyes, she saw the poison fog in the air rush toward Wang Ming's body.

"Heavens, he's crazy! Is he trying to get resistance to poison?" Chu Jingling frowned and then shook her head, looking forward. "I can't waste time and keep watch over him. I'm running on borrowed time."

Chu Jingling ignored Wang Ming and moved deeper into the cave.

Swoosh

More and more poison rushed toward Wang Ming. "Ugh... hiss!"

Wang Ming groaned in pain but gritted his teeth and endured it. 'Compared to getting my body destroyed, this is more bearable,' Wang Ming thought as the fog started to thin while more and more poison was getting absorbed by him.

---

"Huff... Huff..." Chu Jingling was panting heavily as she gritted her teeth, her face turning purple. Even though she had gained resistance to poison, it was not enough, and she was still being poisoned.

Thud

She fell to her knees as her mind became hazy, biting her lip to stay conscious.

"Hmm?" Just as more poison was about to seep into her body, the poison fog started to thin, and she frowned when she saw all the fog rushing toward where Wang Ming was. "What's happening?"

"Huh?" Wang Ming, who was exhausted, raised an eyebrow when he saw this.

'Where would I find more poison... wait, maybe...' Wang Ming frowned when the thought crossed his mind, and then an idea lit up.

He stood up and saw that the fog had vanished. After walking forward for a few minutes, he saw Chu Jingling on the ground and used his Soul Eyes.

'As expected, she has more poison,' Wang Ming thought as he approached her.

Chu Jingling coughed up black blood as she knelt on the ground. She couldn't even form coherent thoughts. Her state was quite precarious.

"Huh?" She raised her head when she felt a shadow loom over her and saw Wang Ming standing near her.

'Don't just stand there, you jerk—help me!' Chu Jingling cursed inwardly.

"Hey, can you help me?" Chu Jingling asked as she splurted another mouthful of blood.

"Yes, but my method is unique. Are you sure you want my help?" Wang Ming asked.

"Just do it. If you don't, I'll die," Chu Jingling said.

"H-Huh?" Chu Jingling was surprised when she felt Wang Ming grab her chin, and then—"Hmph?"

Wang Ming kissed her as his tongue directly invaded her mouth.

'This bastard, my first kiss—gone like this!' Chu Jingling cried out inwardly as she felt Wang Ming's tongue ravage her mouth. Her cheeks turned red in shame. She would have attacked him outright if she hadn't felt the poison leaving her body.

Wang Ming paid no attention to her and instead looked at the text that appeared again.
