Chapter 227 Feng Baobao was pulled into the water
Feng Baobao nodded and followed closely behind Jiang Mo, cautiously observing the surrounding environment.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at an open area.
There were no plants here, and the ground had an eerie deep purple color, as if it were some kind of unknown mineral.
In the center of the area, there is a pool with a diameter of about ten meters.
The water surface was jet black, with bubbles rising from it from time to time, making a "gurgling" sound.
“We’re here.” Jiang Mo stopped and pointed to the black pool.
"That is the core of the source of all poisons, the legendary origin of all poisons and venomous insects."
Feng Baobao stared at the black pool, her eyes flashing with an unusual light.
"This place... feels familiar, like I've been here before."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Not surprising. Considering your constitution, you might indeed have some kind of connection to this place."
He walked to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and reached out to touch the inky black water.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force came from the water, as if trying to pull him into the water.
"Watch out!" Feng Baobao exclaimed.
Jiang Mo remained unmoved, merely smiling slightly: "It's nothing, it's just testing my strength."
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and the Qi within his body began to circulate.
Strands of golden light emerged from his body, forming a thin protective shield.
The suction force vanished instantly, replaced by a strange sense of intimacy, as if the pool was welcoming his arrival.
"It seems I've passed the test." Jiang Mo opened his eyes and nodded in satisfaction. "Now, it's your turn."
He gestured for Feng Baobao to also touch the water.
Feng Baobao hesitated for a moment, then slowly approached the edge of the pool.
She could feel a strange attraction, as if something there was calling to her.
She slowly reached out her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the inky black water.
The instant her fingers touched the water's surface.
The entire pool suddenly churned violently, and black water columns shot into the sky, forming a huge whirlpool.
"Watch out!" Jiang Mo grabbed Feng Baobao's wrist and pulled her away from the pool.
But it was too late; the black vortex suddenly split off a stream of water.
Like a hand, it grabbed Feng Baobao's waist and pulled her into the pool.
"Baby!" Jiang Mo shouted, jumping into the water without hesitation.
The underwater world is completely different from what you might imagine.
There was no suffocating feeling here; instead, it felt like entering another space.
All around was a void of blackness, with no distinction between up, down, left, or right, as if floating in the universe.
Jiang Mo quickly spotted Feng Baobao not far away.
Her eyes were closed, and her body was enveloped in a black substance, making her appear to be asleep.
"Feng Baobao!" Jiang Mo tried to get closer, but was blocked by an invisible force.
Just then, an ancient and weathered voice rang in Jiang Mo's mind.
"Who are you, daring to trespass into the source of all poisons?"
Jiang Mo cautiously looked around, but saw no sign of any living creature: "And who are you? Why did you kidnap Feng Baobao?"
"I am the guardian of the source of all poisons, and I have existed for a thousand years."
The voice continued, "As for this girl, she carries the blood of our race and is born with a poisonous constitution."
Poisonous body? Jiang Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately recalled the memories he had obtained from the Gu God statue.
Legend has it that there is a constitution called "innate poison body".
They are born with the ability to integrate with various toxins, making them excellent materials for cultivating Gu techniques.
However, this constitution is extremely rare, occurring only once every thousand years.
"You mean, Feng Baobao has a congenital poisonous constitution?" Jiang Mo asked.
"Indeed, she is the first person in a thousand years to possess a perfect innate poison body."
The voice replied, "In your human world."
"She may just be an ordinary girl, but in our world, she is the future Queen of Poison."
Jiang Mo frowned: "So you're going to take her away now?"
"This is her destiny," the voice said calmly. "Those born with a naturally poisonous constitution have an inexplicable connection to the source of all poisons."
"She will return here sooner or later and become the new guardian."
"That's not up to you." Jiang Mo's eyes turned cold, and his internal energy circulated, causing his entire body to radiate golden light.
The Gu God Seal appeared in his hand, its patterns shimmering with an ancient and mysterious light.
"The Seal of the Gu God?" The voice was clearly shocked. "You...you are the successor of the Gu God?"
Jiang Mo didn't answer, but instead raised the Gu God Seal high: "In the name of the Gu God, I command you to release Feng Baobao!"
The Gu God Seal burst forth with dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire dark space.
The black substance enveloping Feng Baobao suddenly trembled, as if struggling.
Ultimately, it succumbed to the power of the Gu God Seal and slowly retreated.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Mo swam to Feng Baobao's side and grabbed her hand.
Just then, the voice rang out again, this time filled with awe: "Successor of the Gu God, please wait a moment."
Jiang Mo stopped what he was doing: "Do you have anything else to say?"
“I don’t mean to hurt her,” the voice explained. “If someone with a naturally poisonous constitution doesn’t undergo a special ritual, they can easily be harmed by the toxins within their body during their growth.”
"I just want to help her awaken, so she can truly control her power."
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "You mean, if she doesn't complete this ritual, she'll be in danger?"
"Yes, especially after being exposed to the source of all poisons, the toxins in the body will become more active."
"If we don't guide them in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Jiang Mo glanced at Feng Baobao, who was still unconscious, and then asked, "How long will this ceremony take?"
"It won't be long, just a moment."
Jiang Mo thought for a moment, then finally nodded: "Okay, but I'll be watching from the side."
"Of course, the successor of the Gu God is qualified."
As the sound faded, the surrounding darkness suddenly brightened.
Jiang Mo then realized that they were not underwater, but in a huge cave.
In the center of the cave is an altar, surrounded by ancient runes, some of which even Jiang Mo cannot understand.
The black substance gently placed Feng Baobao on the altar, then condensed into a human shape.
He was a man who looked to be around thirty or forty years old, wearing a black robe, with an ordinary face.
The only thing that was unusual about him was his eyes—they were completely black, like two bottomless pits, which inspired fear.
"I am the contemporary guardian of the source of all poisons; you can call me Black Gu," the man introduced himself.
Jiang Mo nodded: "Jiang Mo."
"Alright, Mr. Jiang Mo, I will now begin the awakening ceremony for this young lady."
As Hei Gu spoke, he took out a small bottle from his sleeve, poured out a drop of black liquid, and dripped it onto Feng Baobao's forehead.
The liquid absorbed into Feng Baobao's skin as soon as it came into contact with her.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Baobao's entire body began to emit a faint purple light.
