Volume 1: Urban Storm Chapter 416: Treasure Exploration in the Secret Realm (51) The Great Swamp
However, there is no need to worry about getting lost in the underground space, everywhere Tang Xuan passes, there are marks, as long as he collects the treasure and returns along the way.
Everyone followed behind Tang Xuan, moving forward silently and nervously, it is not possible not to be nervous, who knows if a monster will suddenly appear, everyone also unconsciously has an extra weapon in their hands, and with a weapon, their courage will grow.
After walking like this for more than an hour, everyone no longer knows how far they have walked, but it is very safe to walk this way, especially the corpse gate and the Yama Hall at the back of the line, and they exhaled a long breath, the ancestor blesses, the ancestor blesses...... One by one, the prayers continued.
Suddenly, Tang Xuan waved his hand, everyone suddenly stopped their figures, and hurriedly looked forward, this was not tight, and they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, this is a huge swamp, the swamp is full of white mist, some places actually emit black smoke, and in other places, yellow bubbles are sprayed from the ground.
Before they reached the edge of the swamp, everyone was almost suffocated by the stench in the swamp, and the women followed behind Tang Xuan, bearing the brunt, when they smelled this indescribable stench, they couldn't hold back anymore and vomited one after another.
Tang Xuan was also so smoked by the stench that his stomach was tumbling, and he seemed to have to swallow all the food he had eaten before he stopped, but he still reacted relatively quickly, hurriedly closed his sense of smell, and operated his mental method, and a circle of light suddenly rose outside his body, enveloping Tang Xuan in an instant, and those foul smells disappeared immediately.
Turning around, Tang Xuan was stunned all of a sudden, only to see that except for Xuan Jizi, Sun Lao, Yang Lao, Zhao Lao and others behind him, no one was vomiting, but when he saw that the master and the others were also holding back their faces red, it was estimated that they would not be able to support it for long.
"Everyone hurry up and close their sense of smell, operate their mental methods, and use their true qi to isolate these toxic gases." Tang Xuan hurriedly said loudly.
He had already seen from everyone's state that these foul-smelling gases were not only stinky, but also poisonous, if they were not sealed in time, they would breathe too much, and they would definitely be poisoned, although they didn't know how much these poisons hurt them cultivators, but it would not be wrong to take precautions.
Hundreds of people heard Tang Xuan's words, regardless of the tumbling in their stomachs, they all used their mental methods to suppress the discomfort in their stomachs, especially the women, who had already practiced the 'Five Elements Mental Method', and like Tang Xuan, a layer of light suddenly appeared outside their bodies, blocking the stench of nausea and vomiting.
Under Tang Xuan's instructions, the women took out another pill and took it, and then they slowly recovered, but they didn't dare to slack off, they were still slowly running the mental method, the ball of light outside their bodies illuminated this area, and the others saw this, one by one, their eyes were shining, although they had seen it before, but at this time it still seemed so shocking, everyone was thinking, how good it would be if they had such a cultivation method, looking at Tang Xuan, Xuan Jizi and the others, it was even more unknown light.
After a while, everyone quieted down in the turmoil, and the sect bosses each took out the antidote pill one after another, and gave it to the disciples of the sect, although the swamp was ferocious, but there was no need to be afraid of the antidote pill.
Tang Xuan also took the detoxification pill handed over by Long Ping, looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Tang Xuan took out one from it, and swallowed it without hesitation, as soon as the pill entered the mouth, it instantly turned into a clear stream, and entered the stomach, the previous tumbling discomfort suddenly became refreshed, it is really a good thing, it seems that after this treasure exploration, more pills will be refined.
What's even more amazing is that after taking the detoxification pill, the stench that I smelled disgusting before, I don't feel how disgusting it is at this time, and I can breathe freely.
Tang Xuan looked at the women and everyone who swallowed the anti-poison pill and returned to normal, and then faced the vast swamp.
The divine consciousness unfolded, and soon entered the depths of the swamp, a kilometer ...... Two kilometers ...... Ten kilometers ...... Thirty kilometers, huh? How big is this swamp?
Tang Xuan's heart was shocked, such a big swamp, one careless, we people will not be able to escape the fate of being devoured, Tang Xuan scanned here, and couldn't help but sweat coldly on his forehead, this is only the distance of the scan, and he has not yet explored the danger hidden in the swamp.
Anyway, let's see how wide and big this swamp is, forty kilometers...... Fifty km ...... Seventy kilometers, there is no edge in sight, Tang Xuan has a feeling of collapse, what the hell, how big is this?
Just when Tang Xuan was impatient, seventy-five kilometers, well, finally landed, great, seventy-five kilometers, my God, such a big swamp, how to cross it, Tang Xuan didn't feel a little numb.
Alas, now, even if it is a big difficulty, it must be overcome, otherwise the previous efforts will not be in vain, thinking of this, Tang Xuan put aside his distracting thoughts, unfolded his divine sense again, and probed into the depths of the swamp, and it was only after dozens of minutes that Tang Xuan withdrew his divine sense, and couldn't help but look at Boss Long and the master and others with a solemn face.
"How? Brother. Seeing Tang Xuan turn around, Long Ping hurriedly asked, knowing that he had finished perceiving.
Xuan Jizi, Sun Lao and several other bigwigs also had their eyes flashing, staring at Tang Xuan, although their cultivation was profound, but their divine sense could not be compared with Tang Xuan, the range they were currently exploring was at most a few hundred meters, beyond this range, they would feel that they were powerless.
"Boss, master, seniors, this swamp is beyond everyone's imagination, and according to my investigation, it should be no less than one hundred and fifty miles of land. And that's not all, it's the monsters in the swamp that worry me the most. Tang Xuan saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly, and he didn't hide his secrets, and told everything he was investigating.
"This ...... What can I do? When Long Ping heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Xiao Tang, are you telling the truth?" Sun Lao was also a little dumbfounded, such a big swamp, once it is deep, what kind of encounter will it face, you don't have to think about it, you should know.
"Apprentice, what do you have to do?" Of course, Xuan Jizi believed in his apprentice, since the apprentice said so, things must be worse than what he said, and when he encountered such a harsh environment, even he, a peerless master of the Heavenly Rank Great Perfection, frowned.
"Hehe, what can he do, I think it's better for everyone to rely on their own means and show their talents." Tang Xuan was about to answer, when a voice suddenly came from the side.
Everyone frowned, and they were very unhappy with the tone of this person's speech, so everyone followed the prestige, and it turned out to be Zhang Qingshan, the deputy head of the Huashan faction.
Deputy Head Zhang went down the mountain to hunt for treasures this time, which was originally very high-profile, and he also boasted about Haikou in front of the senior brother of the head, and he must live up to the trust of the head and bring back the treasure, but since entering this underground space, his limelight has been repeatedly suppressed by Sanqingguan Xuanjizi, all because Sanqingguan has a demonic disciple Tang Xuan, and he has long regarded Tang Xuan as the future opponent of the Huashan faction.
This time, in the face of decision-making, he didn't want to follow behind everyone anymore, and decided to come up with a little bit of the Huashan faction's heritage, otherwise how could his Huashan faction take charge of Niu Er in the upcoming sect competition.
Tang Xuan also looked at this old man with a thin face and a fairy style, and at this time, he realized that at some point, he was already surrounded by the bigwigs in various sects, one by one, either appreciating, or disapproving, or disdainful, all kinds of expressions, Tang Xuan could see them all.
"Hehe, Deputy Head Zhang, why don't we make a bet?" Xuanjizi couldn't see the mind of this little old man, probably because he was jealous of his apprentice's skills, so he deliberately said something sour, hmph, since you want to be in the limelight, then I can't let you down.
"Gamble, gamble, how to gamble, please advise." Zhang Qingshan was already at the same level as Xuan Jizi, so naturally he couldn't lose his momentum, seeing that Xuan Jizi had put on a posture and was working against himself, where could he bear it, so he responded without hesitation.
"Simple, didn't you say that each according to his means, each with his own powers? So let's bet on who gets out of the swamp first, and the first to come wins, how about it? Xuan Jizi saw that this old boy was full of momentum, and he was not ambiguous immediately.
"Agreed, but since it's a bet, it can't be without a lottery, what about the winner, and what about the loser?" Zhang Qingshan also did not show weakness at all.
"It's better for the two of you to be like this, how about the loser giving the other party ten small realm pills?" Long Ping, who had not spoken for a long time on the side, said in time.
"How is Deputy Head Zhang?" Hearing this, Xuanjizi's eyes suddenly lit up, and then nodded, ten small realm pills are already a lot, just kidding, this kind of pill is already available but undesirable in the current lack of elixir, and one of them will cause a lot of shock, not to mention ten pills, this bet is not small.
"This ...... Agree. When Zhang Qingshan heard this, he immediately regretted it, this time it was too big, but now in this situation, he must not bow his head, hesitate for a long time, and have to grit his teeth in response.
"No problem." Seeing Zhang Qingshan's approval, Xuan Jizi did not hesitate to respond.
Just kidding, he will be afraid of this old boy, even if he loses in the end, he also has a small realm pill, although this pill is very precious, but for him and the apprentice, it is really nothing, because both of them are alchemists, as long as the medicinal materials are enough, what is the difficulty of only ten small realm pills.
Long Ping saw that the two had reached an agreement, and immediately said loudly: "Everyone, today we will witness the bet between the Huashan faction and the Sanqingguan, whoever reaches the other side of the swamp first will be the winner, and the loser needs to give the winner ten small realm pills as a lottery head, and everyone will come to witness." ”
The leaders of various sects and factions discussed one after another, and there was a commotion for a while.
"Okay, everyone has heard it clearly, my Dragon Protector Clan follows Sanqingguan, if Sanqingguan loses, my DragonProtector Clan will give another ten small realm pills. On the contrary, the Huashan faction paid me another ten small realm pills. After Long Ping saw that everyone knew, he then threw a bombshell.
What the? The dragon protectors are also going to participate? Zhang Qingshan's old face turned green all of a sudden, Nima, don't play like this, isn't this a ......, hmph, I don't believe I can't win against your Sanqingguan, hehe, when the time comes, your small realm Dan will be from my Huashan faction.
"My Kongtong faction follows the Huashan faction, if the Huashan faction loses, my Kongtong faction will also send ten small realm pills. On the contrary, Sanqingguan paid me another ten small realm pills of the Kongtong faction. "The Kongtong faction stood up, but it supported the Huashan faction, and the two factions were already relatively close, of course they stood on the side of the Huashan faction.
