Chapter 4085 – Strange Swamp

“Where’s the danger?” Yang Kai swept over his surroundings with his Divine Sense but found nothing out of the ordinary, which made him feel a little suspicious.

Pu Bai Xiong told him earnestly, “The water here is toxic, and there is also something hiding inside.”

“Toxic?” Yang Kai was astonished. Before coming in, Zhu Jiu Yin had told him that the Primordial Land was filled with opportunities, but also many dangers, and also told him to be careful.

Yang Kai was her chosen Bearer, so she naturally wanted him to succeed.

The swamp seemed completely inconspicuous, but it was also full of dangers. Yang Kai couldn’t help but sigh.

At that moment, a few kilometres away, a group of people looked in this direction with surprised looks on their faces. One young man asked, “What is that on that person’s shoulder?”

It was not known which great force these people came from, but all of them were surprised when they arrived and saw Pu Bai Xiong.

An elderly man pushed his eyesight to take a better look and said with joy, “It’s a Divine Medicine that has assumed human form!”

Once these words came out, everyone in the group felt their breaths hitch. Even though they did have some gains since entering this Primordial Land, what they found was simply nothing when compared to a Divine Medicine that had assumed human form.

The head of the Divine Medicine was covered in green and purple grapes, but it had a face with seven orifices, as well as hands and legs. It must have existed for a very long time. Such a treasure was hard to find in the outer world.

Now that they caught sight of one, everyone had greedy thoughts about the Divine Medicine.

After exchanging glances, they rose to the air in unison and began rushing in Yang Kai’s direction.

Tendrils swinging up, Pu Bai Xiong scratched his cheeks and said in disdain, “Courting death!”

As soon as those words left his mouth, loud screams could be heard. The cultivators suddenly fell down from the sky one by one.

Many cultivators fell into the puddles around the swamp, and before they could get up, they suddenly screamed in misery.

Their bodies broke apart, and in the blink of an eye, the puddles had corroded the cultivators’ flesh and turned them into white skeletons that slowly disappeared under the water, never to be seen again.

The remaining cultivators were lucky that they did not fall directly into the swamp; however, they were still standing amongst the puddles of murky water. Each one of them had their hair raised on end, none of them daring to move.

“So this water truly is corrosive!” Yang Kai was astonished. These cultivators had already been in the Grand Ancient Ruins for more than a decade, and they had all grown considerably. Even though they had not achieved the Open Heaven Realm, they had all at least gathered several Yin, Yang, and Five Elements. In the Emperor Realm, these people could be considered the best of the best; however, cultivators of this calibre had all failed to put up a resistance as soon as they fell into the water and withered away into dry bones. The immense toxicity of this swamp could be seen from that alone.
