Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Stranger

Shi Ming's body temperature is constantly rising, and the surrounding waters are already boiling.

Steaming water filled the swamp, and the entire body of water emitted an unbearable stench.

The figure didn't seem to be afraid of the boiling waters, and slowly stepped in.

A pair of legs covered with fine scales loomed in the steaming mist.

The scales are covered with green moss, and they look like naturally occurring moss that has been soaked in the water for a long time.

The legs covered with fine scales faintly exuded a dense aura, like a layer of soft water wrapped around the legs, protecting the legs of the strange figure.

The figure walked in front of him with boiling hot water, the white mist continued to evaporate, and the appearance of the figure loomed in the white mist.

The figure had a strange appearance, and his head was covered with long, curly hair that almost covered his entire face.

The long hair is still green, covered with green moss, and some unknown aquatic plants.

On the face, which was not covered by long curly hair, there were sharp pieces of nails, which were also covered with moss, showing a dark green color.

A streak of black dotted the scaly face, and it was the figure's eyes, without a trace of white, as if they were blackened by ink.

The figure was extremely burly, with only part of its body covered with dark green armor, and the rest of its body was indistinguishable from the skin of the Terrans, except that it had been soaked in water, showing a sickly white.

The strange man leaned over to look at Shi Ming, and waves of heat steamed up from Shi Ming's body, scorching the strange man's face.

But there was a cold aura coming from the strange man's body, faintly emitting a blue light.

The strange man stretched out his right hand, and perhaps it could no longer be called a hand.

It was covered with fine scales, and the flesh on the fingers was covered with bulges, and the tips of the fingers were covered with sharp bone spurs.

The claw slowly pressed on Shi Ming's chest, feeling the surging energy fluctuations coming from Shi Ming's body.

There was a thoughtful look on the strange man's face.

A moment later, the strange man's right paw slapped towards the water, and a water dragon formed by the convergence of pure water droplets, about the length of his index finger, kept swimming in front of Shi Ming.

The water dragon slowly penetrated into Shi Ming's body and slowly swam up.

The black vitality in Shi Ming's body seemed to have found an outlet, and it frantically poured into the body of the water dragon.

The water dragon, which was originally transparent and flawless, has now turned into a pitch-black color.

The strange man took a deep breath, and the water dragon slowly flew out of Shi Ming's mouth, hovering over the strange man's right claw.

The black vitality in Shi Ming's body had disappeared without a trace, and the meridians that were originally full of destructive power slowly calmed down.

The crimson color on Shi Ming's body slowly disappeared, and the temperature gradually dropped.

The surrounding waters lost their source of heat and slowly calmed down.

The strange man glanced at Shi Ming and turned to leave.

The originally noisy swamp was now silent and only the sound of strange people stepping on the water kept ringing.

In the endless darkness, the phantom that kept shifting between the illusory and the real instantly eased, and the cyan flame that kept flickering seemed to have returned to normal.

The phantom instantly collapsed, and Shi Ming slowly opened his eyes.

Shi Ming got up instantly and sat on the water.

There was still a white mist all around, and not far away there was still the sound of the strange man's footsteps in the water, slow but regular, the only sound in the swamp.

The figure of the strange man slowly disappeared into the mist, Shi Ming couldn't see it really, and with the white mist around him, he could only vaguely see the back of the strange man.

A burning sensation suddenly came, and Shi Ming suddenly jumped out of the water and stood on an upside-down tree trunk.

The hands were already red and swollen, and a tingling sensation could be felt when they were touched.

Shi Ming closed his eyes and looked inward, the black vitality in the meridians of his body had disappeared without a trace, and the swollen meridians were slowly recovering.

"This time, I didn't observe the Yuan Spirit Crystal Nucleus, and directly devoured the Yuan Qi in the Yuan Spirit Crystal Nucleus, which is really a fatal decision. I almost died here. Shi Ming felt a little remorse in his heart.

Looking at the water still steaming beneath him, and the corpses of some small creatures floating on it, the whole body of water was like a pot of boiling hot soup, exuding a disgusting smell.

Shi Ming sat on the trunk of the tree, adjusting the chaotic aura of his body.

"That vitality actually contains an abundant breath of water, which is very different from the cyan vitality I usually come into contact with, and those two vitality are like water and fire are incompatible, constantly burning in my body, releasing streams of pure energy. Shi Ming looked at his hands, and the redness and swelling had slowly receded.

"Fortunately, the nature of these two Yuan Qi is similar, otherwise if this Yuan Qi explodes directly in my body, I may be reduced to the meat of the creatures in the swamp, a cheap meal. Shi Ming sneered and ripped off his clothes.

On the thin body, patches of redness and swelling covered the whole body, Shi Ming took out some medicinal powder from the space ring and sprinkled it on the red and swollen places.

"This black vitality keeps wandering in the meridians of my body, and that natal vitality is still releasing cyan vitality, and the two vitality are intertwined, producing a very terrifying energy, and even boiling this water. Shi Ming looked at the water below him with palpitations.

"This body of water absorbs a lot of energy, otherwise I might turn into charcoal, and when my body releases energy, this bracer keeps absorbing the energy in the flesh and blood, if I don't have the bracer, I may not survive. Shi Ming touched the mysterious tattoo on his right arm and let out a long sigh.

"However, why did that black vitality disappear for no reason?" Shi Ming looked in the direction where the strange man left, "Is that the departing figure?"

"Moreover, this natal vitality is not under my control at a critical moment. Shi Ming's face was gloomy, "I survived this time, if it was next time, I might not be so lucky." ”

"Speaking of which, the poison of the Blood Hell has never erupted since I arrived in the village to shelter the villagers. Shi Ming looked at his hands, "Is the strange poison of the Blood Prison gone?"

"It seemed unlikely, but when I looked inside my body, I didn't see any signs of the poison. Shi Ming examined his body again, "My father-in-law said that the strange poison is very terrifying, if I think I can find it, it won't be a problem, just pull it out." What I'm afraid of is that the strange poison can't be found at all, but is hidden in the flesh and blood, no different from ordinary blood. It seems that I have to go back to Jiuxing quickly to find my father-in-law to discuss the strange poison, and the ancestor worship meeting is about to start. ”

"That Master Ming dared to betray me. Shi Ming squinted his eyes, feeling the pain coming from his body, "The next time I meet him, I have to kill him." ”

After an hour, the temperature of the water had returned to normal, and some small creatures followed the smell and began to devour the dead corpses.

The redness and swelling of Shi Ming's body still all receded, but there was still a faint pain.

Shi Ming put on his clothes and walked around with the Yuan Devouring Knife.

It was getting dark, and in the swamp, the plants were overwhelming, revealing only a little of the sky, but it was also black.

The cries of all kinds of creatures around came and went, and it was very noisy.

Shi Ming looked around, and the scene around him didn't seem to be different from where he was before, with muddy swamps and lush vegetation everywhere.

The tall trees had large leaves on them, and vines grew on the canopy.

The abundant water vapor of the swamp condensed on the branches and leaves of the plants, and kept dripping down like a light rain.

The clothes on Shi Ming's body were already soaked, and a lot of water could be wrung out with a hard grip.

"What the hell is this place?" Shi Ming looked at the endless swamp, a little anxious in his heart.

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of splashing water.

Shi Ming looked in the direction where the sound came from, and held the Yuan Devouring Knife tightly in his hand.

There was a hissing sound, and a demon beast quickly swam in the water.

It was a python with white patterns, its eyes were pitch black, and the letter that came out of its mouth was also inky black.

It's just that the water where the python swam showed a scarlet color.

The python came in Shi Ming's direction, and it didn't mean to dodge, maybe it felt that Shi Ming's realm looked very low, so he wouldn't avoid it, or maybe the python didn't notice that Shi Ming was on the path of progress at all.

The hissing sound continued to sound, and the python seemed to have been hit hard, constantly devouring the black vitality around it, but those vitality was just a drop in the bucket for the python.

The python soon approached Shi Ming's body.

The python was huge, about ten meters long, but its tail had been severed, and blood was gushing out at this time.

The python also had two huge scars on its abdomen, and some of the organs inside were exposed, covered with this layer of white fascia, covering all the organs.

Shi Ming's eyes stared at the python rushing towards him, the vitality in his hand continued to condense, and the breathing aura slowly dispersed.

The python seemed to be approaching Shi Ming only to find Shi Ming standing on the trunk of a dead tree.

The python has been hit hard and has fallen into a panic and is panicking.

After feeling the dangerous aura emanating from Shi Ming, he didn't choose to escape, but went straight to meet him.

The python leapt from the water and opened its fanged mouth to devour the Terran in front of it.

The python has the cultivation of the four heavens, but at this time, it has suffered a heavy blow, and the vitality in its body is already less than thirty percent, so it is not much of a threat to Shi Ming.

A black shadow swept in front of Shi Ming, and the python's head instantly turned in half, the wound sprayed dark red blood, and the huge body fell into the water with a bang.

Shi Ming wiped the blood stains on the Devouring Yuan Knife and walked in front of the python.

The head of the python was still split in half, and there was a faint black stone in the scarlet.

Shi Ming was about to take out the Yuan Spirit Crystal Nucleus, when there were suddenly many sounds of treading water from the direction where the python had fled, which was especially obvious in the swamp.

Shi Ming turned his head to look into the distance, only to see a figure hurrying over.
