The Eclipse Mist has the power of filth, whether it is a human race or any other race, just staying in it for a long time will produce unpredictable mutations, let alone incorporate it into the body.

However, the red dragon clan in front of him was entrenched on the canopy of the tree, looking up and swallowing gray mist. Even if he suffered a backlash, his scales and armor were cracked and blood was dripping without stopping. As it inhaled more and more eroded mist, the wounds on the dragon's body became denser and denser, and the golden-red dragon blood dripped like rain and was evaporated, with the giant tree as the center, gradually filling with a pale red blood mist.

The strong smell of blood poured in from his nasal cavity, and Mu Congyun only felt that his heart seemed to be tumbling with anger, so he hurriedly meditated on the spot, holding his breath and concentrating to resist.

On the other side, Shen Qi's power to contain the eroded fog was almost at its limit.

But that's not enough.

The hook sinked harder and harder into the trunk, and the curved dragon's body tightened, wrapping the mutant Prayer Wood even tighter, forcing it to mobilize the surrounding fog to resist.

This tree of prayer has been growing here for at least 200 years, and although it has not given birth to a spirit, it has already developed an instinct to survive.

The fear of death forced it to resist with all its might.

The canopy swayed with a rustling sound, and more gray mist began to gather in the middle, and the strange trees around them also changed, and the raised human form on the trunk wailed, and the branches continued to extend like vines, forming a huge cocoon, trapping Shen Qi in layers, trying to trap him in it.

The sharp pain in his body did not make Shen Qi flinch, but instead aroused his ferocity.

The Crimson Dragons raised their necks and let out a long, low groan. In the golden vertical pupils, there was a faint flash of red light.

Compared to the hundred years of hopeless struggle in the swamp at the bottom of the cliff without return in the previous life, this pain is nothing.

Shen Qi swung the dragon's tail, and the snake-like body arched, and used brute force to break the layers of tree cocoons. The broken branches were scattered all over the ground, and in an instant they lost their vitality and turned into rotten branches.

But this action also caused the cobweb-like wounds on his body to further crack, and the golden-red dragon blood was dripping like rain. Beneath the upturned scales, there were faintly visible terrifying flesh and bones, and there were even wisps of gray mist escaping endlessly—these untransformable erosion fogs were so violent that they tore through the scales and armor from the inside of the dragon's body.

Shen Qi turned his head and licked his wounds, and when he saw the ugly body with mottled scales, a trace of disgust crossed his eyes.

This body is still too weak.

The Zhongshan Candle Dragon clan has a bloodline inherited from the ancient dragon god Candle Nine Yin. As soon as the dragon clan breaks the shell, it has the strength to forget the dust and the edge of the realm, and the scale armor is even stronger and incomparable, and it is easy to break it. However, he is the only outlier in the clan.

The "Heavenly Dragon", which lacked heart scales when he was born, is rare to see in a thousand years, but he just met it.

The body is weak, the life span is short, and it is difficult to practice...... All kinds of imprisonment and punishment made him live as well as a dog in Zhongshan.

The dust in front of him was like a marquee, and the red glow in Shen Qi's eyes became more and more prosperous, and the dragon's kiss was wide open, forcibly absorbing all the eroded fog in the forest.

The power of filth is violent and difficult to tame, but in his previous life, in order to fight for a glimmer of life, he struggled in the mud swamp for a hundred years, and finally mastered the method of transformation.

Enduring ten times more pain than cramps and marrow removal, Shen abandoned the operation technique to guide the eclipse mist to swim through his body. Others did not dare to contaminate half of the filthy power, but after running it over and over again, it gradually tamed down.

The remaining eroded mist, which was difficult to transform, washed through the meridian flesh and emerged from the gap between the scales.

After several shocks, there was no place on his body that was intact.

However, feeling the majestic and violent "Filthy Yuan" that filled his body, Shen Qi narrowed his eyes and sighed almost in enjoyment.

He enjoyed the feeling of being in a position to be in power, even if it cost him.

It's been a long time since he's been so happy since he inexplicably returned to this incomparably weak cub period.

He stretched his body relaxedly, slowly retracting the breath that was escaping from his body.

The prayer tree that he had held firmly under his claws as a support had been watered a dark red color by the dragon's blood, and the surface of the bark had been corroded to the point of pits. The canopy-like canopy of the tree now has only a few thick branches left, still stubbornly supporting it.

The dead branches and leaves were piled up on the ground three feet thick.

The prayer tree probably gave up resistance, and the branches hung low, and there was no movement.

His gaze swept over the reddish-brown ugly bark, and Shen Qi frowned and showed a little disgust: "It's really ugly." ”

Looking down at the blood stains on his body again, the mood that had just improved was suddenly cloudy again.

A small cleansing technique was performed, but only the blood stains on the surface were washed away. Shen Qi looked at the increasingly ugly body, and his tail flapped the trunk irritably.

You have to take a shower and change your clothes, and then mend the scales that have fallen off.

*

Most of the forest eclipse fog has been absorbed, and it is no longer as obscured as before.

When the gray mist above his head dispersed, Mu Congyun realized that it was night.

He'd been here for at least half an hour. The dragon was so absorbed by the Eclipse Mist that it didn't notice his presence.

Mu Congyun looked at the dragon clan who suddenly stood still, thinking about the origin of the other party.

It is recorded in the Western Realm Calendar that before the "Eclipse Mist Catastrophe", in addition to the human race, there were various ancient relics in this land, among which the dragon clan was the most powerful one. However, after the "Eclipse Mist Cataclysm", these powerful ancient relics also gradually went into decline, just like the Terran cultivators. Only legends have been left in this land.

However, the races that are slightly related to the ancient relics have continued, and because of their scarcity and strength, they are collectively called "demon races".

As for the dragons, no one has ever seen them with their own eyes.

However, there have always been rumors among the major sects, saying that in fact, the Candle Dragon clan still exists in the world, and they live in seclusion in a place called "Heaven and Heaven" in the west.

But over the years, the Ten Directions Barrier has been turbulent many times, but the "Ten Directions Order" has never been issued. Mu Congyun naturally had no chance to verify the truth of the rumors.

Moreover, among the various versions of the dragon clan, there is no record that the dragon clan has the ability to absorb the eroded mist.

If the outside world knew about today's events, it would have caused a shock.

The people of the Western Realm have been in the Ten Directions Enchantment for thousands of years, trying countless methods, but so far they have not even been able to penetrate deep into the Sea of Eclipse Mist.

Even if the sword went sideways and betrayed the capital of the western realm, it was just stealing the formation map of the Ten Directions Great Array, and setting up an enchantment according to the cat and the tiger, so that it could survive outside the Ten Directions Barrier.

But this dragon clan, after absorbing a large amount of eclipse mist, not only did not have any abnormalities, but also retained their sanity.

Mu Congyun knew the importance of this news, and he was more and more careful to restrain his breath, wanting to wait for the other party to leave first.

He didn't even dare to look at it a few more times, lest the other party notice his gaze.

Shen Qi flapped the dragon's tail in annoyance, thinking about the nearest place.

There is an inn in Nanhuai Town, but the place is small and dirty, which is really unbearable for the dragon.

I still have to go to Dongzhou City.

He was about to turn back into human form and leave, but suddenly he smelled an unusual smell in the smell of blood, like the crisp breath of grass and trees, but it was incompatible with this forest.

The hideous dragon head turned suddenly, the golden pupils stood up, and the voice was angry: "Who dares to snoop?!" ”

At the moment when he saw it, Mu Congyun was already keenly aware of the danger, and without hesitation, he turned into a sword light and fled into the distance.

At the same time, his previous hiding place had been smashed by the sweeping dragon's tail, and the grass and trees had turned to dust.

There was a huge movement behind him, but Mu Congyun didn't dare to look back, he urged his spiritual power with all his strength, his body was like a phantom, and he rushed forward.

"It's you again!" Shen Qi turned into a human form, and the soaring power of the filthy yuan caused the hem of his clothes to fly. Thinking that the other party might have been hiding here for a long time, looking at his original form, the flames on his fingertips beat uncontrollably, and the killing intent in his heart became more and more fierce.

"Xuan, Ling, brother, son." He stared at the direction where Mu Congyun disappeared, word by word, murderous, but he didn't immediately catch up.

Forcibly suppressed his anger, Shen Qi gritted his teeth for a moment, and finally went to Dongzhou City with his sleeves flicked up.

Afraid of implicating Jin Qi, Mu Congyun did not dare to flee in the direction of Nanhuai Town.

Edgeworth fled in the opposite direction for more than ten miles, and Mu Congyun dared to stop. But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, the other party's performance in the old forest was too weird, who knew if there were any inscrutable spells waiting for him.

He cautiously hid his breath and hid it until he was sure that the other party really did not chase after him in the middle of the night, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The time to hide was enough to rest, Mu Congyun did not waste time, and Edgeworth was about to return to Nanhuai Town, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly realized one thing - when he was in a hurry to escape, he unknowingly went out of the boundary of Nanhuai Town.

After they entered Nanhuai Town before, they found that no matter what method they used, they could not get out of Nanhuai Town, and their communication with the outside world was also blocked.

But now, he came out without hindrance.

I thought of the eroded mist that had been absorbed into the old forest, and the giant tree that had been destroyed by the dragons so that only its bare trunk remained. Mu Congyun had a guess in his heart.

- The root cause of the mutation in Nanhuai Town may be related to the giant tree whose origin is unknown.

Mu Congyun took out the communication jade talisman, recorded the key events in Nanhuai Town, and passed it to the master before setting off to find the Jinyi convergence.
