Chapter Eighty-Six: The Mud Swamp

The mist moved slowly through the mountains and forests, and the scene inside was faintly visible.

"Let's go inside. Master Ming took out a piece of white cloth and handed it to Shi Ming, "Cover your mouth and nose, the miasma inside is still quite terrifying." ”

Shi Ming took it and asked in a low voice, "Is this mud swamp dangerous?"

"It's normal, if you don't go deeper, there's no problem. Master Ming straightened the strip of cloth tied to his face and began to slowly walk towards the mud swamp.

The mud swamp now looks like a swamp country.

After early spring, a large amount of snow melts and all of it flows here.

The mud swamp has existed for tens of thousands of years, accumulating countless silt and the remains of all kinds of living things.

The plants that grow in the mud swamp have all fallen into the mud swamp after they have withered.

Those constant accumulations create a deadly miasma.

On the outskirts of the mud swamp, if you accidentally inhale a miasma, your whole body will be red and swollen.

If left untreated, the whole body will ulcerate and die of pain.

In the depths of the mud swamp, an even deadlier miasma floats.

The miasma itself had no scent, mixed in a putrid smell.

As long as you take a puff, you will fall into a coma in an instant.

The body is like fresh meat placed on the ground in the hot summer, and it will soon rot and emit a foul smell.

Fortunately, those miasma have a color, and in the sunlight revealed in the jungle, they exude bursts of dazzling brilliance.

Those brilliances seem beautiful, but they are actually the most dangerous things.

The mud swamp is covered with a very gelatinous brown soil, and if you step on it, you will feel as if someone is dragging it under the swamp.

Moreover, the stronger the struggle, the deeper the sinking will be.

After tens of thousands of years of accumulation, countless creatures have adapted to the environment of the dry swamp and survived in it.

Among them, there are many vicious monsters, and even extremely terrifying creatures, which will take the lives of creatures that break into the territory at any time.

Many demon beasts are hidden in the mud of the swamp, and they can't be seen at all on weekdays.

It is only when you pass by that you can discover it.

But by the time it is discovered, it is often too late.

Despite the danger of the mud swamp, there are still countless human races, one after another.

There are countless exotic flowers and plants growing in the mud swamp, many of which have magical healing powers and can undo many deadly strange poisons.

Some creatures can also strengthen their blood qi after eating, which is a good tonic.

And the scales that I came to look for this time are a kind of creature that can relieve the poison, and it grows on the periphery of the dry mud swamp on weekdays, hidden in the mud.

The scales feed on the roots of plants that grow in the silt, and only when ventilating does the head be exposed.

This kind of creature is very difficult to find, so it is generally priceless, and it is not available in pharmacies.

"Shi Ming. Master Ming was stunned, "It's really a little unaccustomed to calling you by your name like this, it feels like I'm calling myself." ”

Shi Ming rubbed his neck, "Just call me Xiao Ming." ”

"Good. Master Ming said with a smile, "Xiao Ming, the scales that Uncle Tian needs generally live on the periphery of the dry mud swamp, but after countless fishing over the years, there are very few fine scales living on the periphery. This time, let's take a look outside, and if we can find it, even if we are lucky, if we can't find it, then we have to go inside. ”

Shi Ming nodded.

"When the scales are ventilated, they will stick their heads out of the mud and spit out bubbles, and when you see the bubbles on the mire, you will know that they are the scales. Master Ming said.

"Spit bubbles? It seems a bit common, I think the pond is still bubbling a lot. Shi Ming said.

"Ah, the bubbles spit out by the scales are different, it is a kind of bubble with colorful colors, it looks colorful, in the brown mire, you can see it at a glance, which is why the scales on the periphery are basically extinct, it is too easy to catch. Ming stood on the edge of the mud swamp and took a deep breath.

"Well, what if ordinary people come in?" Shi Ming asked.

"You'll die of festering all over your body. Master Ming pointed to the endless brown swamp in front of him, in which countless trees and plants grew, and the farther away were hidden in the clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see it really.

"In this mire, there are countless bones buried, all of which have rotted and collapsed. Master Ming looked at Shi Ming, "Let's go in." ”

The two of them stepped lightly into the mire, and there was so much water in the dry swamp these days that it almost submerged to the base of the thigh.

There was a layer of withered leaves floating on it, and the remains of rodents could be seen from time to time.

The brown mud has a very strong stickiness, and every step Shi Ming takes, it takes a lot of effort.

After entering the mire, the two stopped talking, but kept an eye on the situation under their feet.

An hour later.

"Let's take a break. Master Ming pointed to a wetland above the water and slowly flowed over.

The wetlands were dry at the top, and the two of them sat cross-legged.

The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and the trees overhead were densely packed, and the sunlight fell through the cracks, forming pillars of light.

"Haven't we arrived yet?" Shi Ming asked.

"It's coming. Master Ming took out a piece of jerky and chewed it, "Let's go over with a rest, not far away." ”

Shi Ming looked around and asked, "Why do you want to help Uncle Tian and them?"

"Because his village is my caretaker, after all, it is my family's territory. Master Ming ate all the dried meat in his hand and said softly, "Let's go." ”

As the two of them went deeper, the color of the mire changed.

The original brown mud swamp appeared with blue streaks, and there were many white foams floating on the water.

Shi Ming looked into the distance, a small blue flower floated quietly on the surface of the water, and the small flower exuded bursts of blue halo.

Blue streaks floated from under the small blue flower.

It was that inconspicuous little blue flower that dyed the swamp blue.

When Ming-sama saw the blue streaks on the water, a touch of joy appeared on his face.

"This blue streak seems to be caused by the blue stygian flower. Master Ming looked into the distance, and although he couldn't see the little flower with his senses, he was sure that the blue flower was there.

There are many fallen trees in the mire, covered with moss, and although it is difficult to walk, it is managed to get out of the water, so there is no fear of being attacked by unknown creatures in the mire.

Although the fallen trees were covered with moss, Shi Ming could still make out the footprints left by someone walking on them, although subtle, but not imperceptible.

Shi Ming looked at Lord Ming with a more cautious expression.

The two of them soon arrived at the place where the little flower was.

There was nothing around the little flower, and the blue veins covered the water around it, as if it had killed all the plants.

Bursts of blue light kept releasing it, exuding a beautiful and deadly aura.

"That's right, that little flower is the Blue Flower. Master Ming's face was happy, "You go over and pick it, there is no danger here, I'll help you look around." ”

Shi Ming glanced around, saw Lord Ming's sincere face, and gently jumped into the mire, slowly walking towards the Blue Shadow Flower.

Ripples spread around, and just as Shi Ming was about to touch the Blue Stygian Flower, a sudden change occurred!

A python covered with white patches instantly crossed the water, tied Shi Ming's body, and sank below the surface of the water again.

The brown python was more than ten meters long, the thickness of a bucket, and its strength was very strong, and Shi Ming couldn't break free for a while.

Seeing that Shi Ming was entangled by the brown python and disappeared into the water, Lord Ming hurriedly took out a yellow strip of cloth.

After waving, a yellow mist slowly stretched towards the Blue Styx Flower.

Under the white mist, the blue flower slowly floated towards Lord Ming.

Master Ming hurriedly took out a transparent crystal ball and sucked the blue dark flower into the crystal ball.

A blue halo emerged, making Master Ming feel dizzy for a while.

Master Ming hurriedly took it into his arms, and after taking a look at the splashing water, he quickly left the area.

After a while, a patch of red snow appeared on the surface of the water, which mixed with blue and turned purple.

Shi Ming stood out of the water, holding the head of the python in his hand.

The strength of this python seems to be limited, and it only has the strength to enter the Mortal Six Heavens.

It was not difficult for Shi Ming to solve it.

However, the python was huge, and the mire blocked the sense of divine consciousness, so in the face of the python's violent attack, he didn't react at once and was entangled in the water.

Shi Ming's right hand pinched the python's neck, and his hand was like a knife blade, inserting it into the python's neck.

A stream of blood gushed out, and the python's body was still rolling, but it had lost its life.

Looking at the place where Master Ming was standing, it was empty.

Shi Ming couldn't help but laugh, feeling the cunning and impermanence of the world.

The python's head was crushed, and a Yuan Spirit Crystal Nucleus appeared in his hand, Shi Ming held it tightly, and a stream of pure Yuan Qi flowed into his body.

It's just that the vitality is black, containing a dense breath.

After that power broke into Shi Ming's body, it was like a swimming snake, constantly swimming in his body.

That vitality is not the power that can be absorbed by oneself.

Shi Ming's face changed drastically, and there was a burst of pain in his body, Shi Ming's eyes darkened, and he fainted in place.

Not long after, several figures appeared beside this swamp, looking at Shi Ming floating on the water, looking at each other.

"The blue flower was picked up. ”

"What should I do? I can't pay it back. ”

"But the python guarding the blue flower is also dead, it seems that the strength of that person is not weak. ”

"Let's take the floating man and the python back first, you can always make a difference. ”

"Is this man dead or alive?" said the man in a leather coat who walked over with water, "this man is still alive." ”

"Take it back with you. ”

Several people looked at the chaotic water, sighed, and left the swamp with the bodies of Shi Ming and the python.
