The island was circular and quite large, with a diater of at least 50 kiloters. It was covered with green vegetation and was by no ans small.
However, there were no signs of human habitation.
Zhang Bin was puzzled, as were Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue.
This island should have been within Arican territorial waters, and it wasn't very far from Arica itself.
How could such a picturesque island remain undeveloped?
Soon, Xiao Jin flew them to the center of the island.
The terrain in the central area was quite peculiar. It was a deep, perfectly round pit with a diater of at least two thousand ters. It plunged down so far that its bottom could not be seen, obscured as it was by a faint black mist.
Xiao Jin gazed at the bottom of the pit with intense eyes, emitting a strange dragon's cry.
It seed to be telling Zhang Bin that there were treasures inside the pit.
"Master, go down! Go down quickly, there are treasures below!"
"Brother Bin, this ti we're going to strike it rich, really strike it rich! Dragons are the best creatures at finding treasure!"
Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue both shouted excitedly, eager to jump down imdiately and dig out the treasures below.
For spoiled young n like them, what was the most thrilling thing in the world?
Of course, it was chasing won and going on treasure-hunting adventures.
"Go down? Are you joking? Are you looking to get yourselves killed?"
A wary look surfaced on Zhang Bin's face.
"What? We can't go down? Is there so kind of danger?" Ma Rufei asked, stunned.
"Do you see that?" Zhang Bin said solemnly. "That black mist is a poisonous gas—an extrely terrifying deadly poison. I suspect there are so many horrifying toxic creatures on this island that no one dares to develop it. This pit is even more dangerous. Who knows how much poisonous and miasmic gas has accumulated in it. A single whiff would be lethal; death would be certain. In the future, you must rember never to enter such places."
"But there are treasures down there!"
"Yeah, are we supposed to just stare at the treasure and not be able to get it? Are we to enter a treasure pit only to return empty-handed?"
Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue grew anxious, staring at Zhang Bin with desperate hope, waiting for him to think of a way for them to go down and explore.
"Heh heh... I'm the Divine Doctor, so of course I have a way down. You don't have to worry. When I encounter treasure, I won't let it slip away no matter what." A mischievous grin spread across Zhang Bin's face.
The two of them began to chuckle slyly, becoming incredibly excited.
Zhang Bin imdiately led them toward the edge of the pit.
Before they could land, Xiao Jin let out a fierce roar.
Instantly, with a HISS HISS HISS, countless venomous snakes slithered away in a panic.
It turned out the grass was crawling with venomous snakes of all kinds—large and small, long and short, brightly colored and multi-hued.
Cobras, bamboo vipers, giant pythons—all sorts of venomous snakes could be seen.
If not for Xiao Jin's draconic roar scaring them away, landing here would have been a huge problem.
"Damn, this really is a poison island. It's terrifying."
"Brother Bin, you were right. There really are a lot of poisonous creatures on this island."
Both Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue felt their scalps tingle, their faces paling with lingering fear.
Even Zhang Bin felt goosebumps rise all over his body, and he felt very uneasy.
As soon as they landed, Zhang Bin took so dicinal herbs from his Space Ring and also retrieved a Pill Furnace, imdiately beginning alchemy.
During their travels, his nurous pets had collected a vast array of plant specins, and he had analyzed the dicinal properties of many of them.
Naturally, he had cultivated large quantities of the plants suitable for alchemy.
Among them were the herbs needed for Detoxification Pills.
He was now about to refine a batch.
The pill recipe for the Detoxification Pill ca from Xuanwu Star and was quite simple.
It wasn't particularly rare to be able to gather all the necessary ingredients.
Ma Rufei, Chen Chaoyue, and even Xiao Jin watched with eager anticipation.
Zhang Bin focused intently on refining the pills, not worried in the least about Xiao Qian and Hong Ya encountering any danger.
Both of them were now powerful monsters, naturally unafraid of re venomous snakes.
The poisonous gas in the pit, however, was truly terrifying.
But monsters like them were highly sensitive and would not carelessly enter a dangerous place like this pit.
That was why Xiao Jin had not entered, instead informing Zhang Bin that there was treasure below.
In just over ten minutes, a batch of Detoxification Pills was successfully refined. Using a special pill mold, he produced nine Detoxification Pills.
"Xiao Jin, you take two. The rest of us will take one each, and then we can go down," Zhang Bin said with complete confidence.
In truth, since he cultivated the miraculous Qingmu Longevity Technique, his life force was exceptionally strong, and he had no fear of deadly poison.
However, he was still worried about other dangers below, such as powerful toxic creatures, so he had to maintain his peak condition.
They quickly consud the pills and then took to the air again, slowly descending into the pit.
Gradually, they approached the Black Mist Area. Zhang Bin entered first, carefully sensing his surroundings before allowing Xiao Jin to continue its descent. Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue were riding on its back, so they all entered together.
They all slled a strange, acrid stench that made their stomachs churn.
However, there were no signs of poisoning.
So, they continued their descent.
Incredibly, the pit was extrely deep. They descended at least two thousand ters and still hadn't reached the bottom.
The deeper they went, the thicker the black mist beca.
But visibility was still manageable.
They could all see that the walls of the pit were vertical and as smooth as a mirror, though they were mostly covered by vines.
Zhang Bin used his Divine Sense. Although he could only sense up to twenty ters around him, he deliberately stayed close to the edge of the pit while descending. This allowed him to get a clear sense of the pit's walls beneath the covering of vines, and he confird that they were perfectly smooth, with no protrusions whatsoever.
Evidently, the pit had been ford by a gigantic teorite that had fallen from the sky.
"What a massive teorite this must have been to create such a deep pit! It must be incredibly dense. Maybe it's a giant sphere of gold! We're going to strike it rich!"
Chen Chaoyue's eyes glowed with an intense light, his cheeks flushing red with excitent.
"This is so exhilarating! The King of Gamblers competition hasn't even started, and we're already exploring a treasure pit," Ma Rufei was thrilled to the extre. "If we find a treasure of inestimable value, I'm going to go to Arica and have a hundred beautiful won wait on …"
Even Zhang Bin was filled with anticipation. After all, he had begun his rise by digging up a teorite on Great Green Mountain. If he hadn't gone there that day, how could he have obtained the mobile phone from Xuanwu Star? How could he have transford from a simple farr into the powerful cultivator he was today?
Therefore, discovering that this pit was created by a teorite and was shrouded in a poisonous mist that even powerful cultivators wouldn't dare to brave only raised his expectations. This, combined with Xiao Jin having sensed treasure within, made him even more eager.
Finally, they landed at the bottom of the pit, and a look of delighted surprise imdiately spread across Zhang Bin's face.
