With a wave of the Black-robed Man's hands, the jars and bottles scattered across the cavern began to shake violently. Immediately, all manner of venomous creatures poured out from within. There were brightly colored vipers flickering their forks, their eyes gleaming with a cold light; giant centipedes and toxic scorpions covered in sharp spikes, brandishing their pincers and making a blood-chilling clicking sound; and swarms of unnameable poisonous insects crawling densely toward the group.
"Everyone be careful! These venomous creatures are not to be trifled with!" shouted Qin Yongping, taking the lead as he swung his sword at the vipers charging in the front. Wherever his blade passed, the vipers were sliced in two, but the moment their bodies hit the ground, the surrounding air seemed infected by the venom, emitting a pungent, rotting stench.
Guo Yufu closely followed behind Qin Yongping, her dagger repeatedly thrusting at the approaching scorpions. However, the scorpions' shells were extremely tough, and her blade left only faint marks upon them. Instead, this enraged the scorpions, causing them to lunge at her with even greater frenzy.
