Chapter 548: Swamp Sea

Xia Mu flew all the way east, and because he had concealed his breath through the Metamorphosis and the Blood Demon Sutra, and always released his divine thoughts to explore the surrounding situation, he avoided the habitat of many fierce creatures in time.

After flying all the way without incident, some thorns gradually appeared in the originally desolate desert, and patches of bushes began to appear, and the surroundings gradually became full of life.

However, among these plants, there are always many gray flowers, from which wisps of dead air emerge and linger around.

As Xia Mu continued to move eastward, this kind of gray plant containing dead air became more and more, and it was no longer limited to flowers, and even a whole dense forest or bush appeared, and the surrounding dead air gathered into patches of gray clouds, which looked so gloomy.

In addition, the color of the ground began to become strange, and the original yellow-brown soil gradually became dull and muddy, as if you had come to a swampy world.

Xia Mu took a breath of the air in the air, his brows furrowed slightly, the death qi in this area seemed to be a little too strong, although it couldn't have much impact on him, but he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and these dead qi seemed to limit his divine thoughts, causing the range that Xia Mu could sense greatly reduced.

In other words, if there is any murderous object living nearby, Xia Mu is likely to not be able to detect it in time, and may even be attacked and killed by some evil murderous creatures.

However, this area is the only place to go to the Ten Thousand Blood Tower, Xia Mu naturally can't retreat, as for bypassing, let's not talk about whether there is danger in other paths, the scope of this swamp alone makes Xia Mu dispel this idea.

Because this swampy land is so vast, if you choose to take a detour, it will probably take ten times and a hundred times longer than it will go straight through. Therefore, Xia Mu was willing to take some risks and didn't want to waste time on detours.

After making up his mind, a faint earthy yellow halo appeared on the surface of Xia Mu's body, wrapped his body in the barrier formed by the law of earth, and then plunged headlong into the swamp.

Half an hour later.

There was a loud roar and a noisy roar somewhere in the swamp.

Hundreds of strange loaches with gray-brown bodies and a long body were frantically besieging a white-robed man.

This white-robed man is none other than Xia Mu.

This was already the fifth wave of monster attacks he had encountered when he entered this swampy sea.

At this moment, he was wrapped in flames, his palms flashed red, and in his gestures, fireballs compressed to the extreme shot out in all directions.

Roaring and popping came and went.

These compressed fireballs fell in the group of demon loaches and burst one after another, turning into countless fire snakes and raging in the loach group, even if the sewage contaminated with the swamp was still burning.

As soon as those demon loaches touched the fireball, they immediately turned into charred black with a crackling sound, and immediately fell to the ground.

The Law of Fire can restrain most water-attribute murderous objects, especially after merging with the Law of Water, it is even more powerful, and it has an extraordinary effect on these large numbers of low-level murderous objects.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the hundreds of demon loaches around were all burned to death by Xia Mu.

However, just as Xia Mu's mind was relaxed and he was about to leave, a black giant scorpion the size of a small mountain suddenly rushed out from the depths of the swamp, and two huge vicious claws slashed towards Xia Mu.

At the same time, under the blur of the tail behind it, the tail hook containing the poison quietly attacked Xia Mu.

Xia Mu was carrying his hands behind his back at the moment, as if he was ignoring the sneak attack of the giant scorpion in front of him.

Rumble!

With a huge roar, a pair of giant pincers and scorpion tails of the giant scorpion slammed into Xia Mu's body, but as if they hit the air, they directly passed through it and bombarded the swamp below.

Just when the giant scorpion looked confused, a figure suddenly appeared above its head, and after letting out a soft shout, a lightning-like punch hit its head fiercely, and the terrifying force directly shattered the giant scorpion's head, killing it on the spot.

Immediately after Xia Mu's hand was released, the illusion that had attracted the attention of the giant scorpion before slowly disappeared.

He exhaled softly, his face a little pale.

Although the strength of these murderous creatures killed before and after is not too strong, but the number is extremely large, he has broken down all the way, and similar slaughters have been carried out no less than four or five times, if this kind of consumption, even if the spiritual power in his body far exceeds that of his peers, it is also a little unbearable.

"Rest for a while to recover the spiritual power in your body. ”

Just when Xia Mu was about to take a break in place, a change suddenly occurred.

The surrounding dead air suddenly became much thicker, and at the same time, a gloomy and cold aura spread from the depths of the swamp sea, as if the legendary Eye of the Yellow Spring had been opened.

Xia Mu's brows furrowed slightly, the blue light surging around his body, and the power of the law of wood wrapped his whole body, isolating all the dead qi from his body.

As soon as he finished doing this, the death qi around him instantly became several times thicker, and gusts of yin wind began to blow in the void, accompanied by bursts of whining sounds, so that it did not seep into people.

Xia Mu's heart froze, he could feel the changes in the entire swamp sea, as if something terrifying had been opened at that moment just now, not only the dead air in the air was instantly several times richer, but it also seemed to be mixed with some other breaths in it, but as for what it was, with Xia Mu's current experience, it was still impossible to distinguish.

However, the only thing that worries Xia Mu is that with the increase in the concentration of dead qi, the sensing range of his divine thoughts has been compressed again, and now he may only be able to sense movement within a range of tens of zhang around his body, not to mention the field of vision, under the dead qi, he can't see the situation three zhang away at all.

Fortunately, the Blood Demon Sutra mainly detects danger based on the fluctuation of induced qi and blood, so even if his vision and divine thoughts are disturbed by death qi, Xia Mu is not too worried, and under the movement of his mind, the golden light flashes around his body, and a dragon-shaped armor wraps his body inside, and it is strictly protected.

After doing all this, Xia Mu turned over and took out an elixir and took it, intending to replenish his spiritual power while exploring the root cause of this mutation.

"Mathas, do you know anything in this world that can change the concentration of dead qi in a region in an instant?" Xia Mu asked as he hurried to replenish the spiritual power in his body.

As a result, Mathas didn't know if it was because he was practicing too seriously in retreat, not only did he not come out of the spirit pet bag, but he didn't even hear from him at all.

Xia Mushen swept it, only to find that this guy had actually started to cultivate the magic method so diligently, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and no longer bothered.
