Lin Yi swam towards the shore as he talked to the ghost. After all, he'd only be able to move freely once he was on land, and he'd be able to use his full strength. It was much better than being restricted in the water.
Finally returning to the ground, Lin Yi could not help but let out a sigh of relief. The feeling of being trapped in the water disappeared, and he regained his confidence.
What surprised Lin Yi was that although this place was the south island, there was no thick miasma covering it, and there was no trace of the miasma layer on the top. It was fresh and natural, like a paradise.
"Senior, why is there no miasma here? Is it the season when the miasma dissipates again?" Lin Yi suddenly felt strange. He didn't notice this in the water before. It was not until he came ashore that he realized it. He had prepared to isolate the miasma with True Qi in advance, but he found that there was nothing.
"That's not it. Although many places in the South Continent are covered by miasma all year round, there are also many places without miasma. It's just that most of them are inland and the gathering places of the spirit beasts. Human cultivators outside can't enter, so they don't know about it." The ghost explained.
"I see." Lin Yi suddenly nodded. He thought that the South Continent was really a mysterious place of the spirit beasts. The outside world knew very little about it. Even the human cultivators in the South Sea Area, who were close to the South Continent, knew most of the South Continent at the level of passers-by. There were probably very few people who really knew the inside story.
Lin Yi carefully observed the surrounding environment, and finally had a chance to treat his internal injuries. This time, in order to avoid the pursuit of the West Mountain Elder, he accidentally escaped to the inland of the South Continent. He had to think about what to do next.
However, before he could breathe evenly, the warning sound of the jade pendant suddenly sounded again. At the same time, a cloud of black mist rushed out of the mirror-like lake. The familiar sneer suddenly made Lin Yi's face change. The West Mountain Elder actually chased him to this place!
"Boy, you're really brave. You even dare to go into this kind of torrent vortex? I didn't expect it. It turns out that there is another mystery in it. But do you think you can escape from my palm like this? It's really whimsical and wishful thinking! "The West Mountain Elder was floating in the air, and his face was full of pride.
Logically speaking, as an evil cultivator who was comparable to the existence of the Mountain Opening Period, he had spent so much time and effort to chase Lin Yi, a master of the Gold Core Stage. However, the West Mountain Elder felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment at this moment.
If he'd been scared by the whirlpool just now, Lin Yi would've been able to escape his clutches completely. He'd have to return empty-handed, and that'd be the laughing stock of everyone.
But now, the West Mountain Elder gritted his teeth and chased him. Lin Yi's previous efforts were all in vain. His fate had already been determined in advance. He would inevitably be refined into a puppet by the West Mountain Elder. As for whether he could become a trump card puppet, it depended on his luck.
Of course, even if he could become a trump card puppet, it was really not good luck for Lin Yi, because no matter what, he would end up the same. His consciousness would be completely erased by the West Mountain Elder, and there would be no more Lin Yi in the world.
He thought that he had survived the disaster with great difficulty, but he didn't expect it to be an empty joy. This kind of ups and downs came too fast! Lin Yi was really speechless. Even the torrent vortex couldn't get rid of him. This evil cultivator of the Mountain Opening Period was really haunting him!
"There is a swamp three miles south, escape there!" The ghost thing reminded in his mind. There was a clear surprise in his tone. It was really unexpected that the West Mountain Elder could chase him to such a place.
Lin Yi immediately performed the Super Butterfly Microstep with all his strength. Before the West Mountain Elder made a move, he quickly ran south according to the ghost thing's instructions. It was taboo to run quickly in the primeval forest, especially since this was the base camp of the spirit beast clan. If he was not careful, he would disturb the ferocious existence that he couldn't provoke. However, Lin Yi had no other choice now. He could only take the risk.
What's more, Lin Yi was eager to provoke a heaven-defying spirit beast that could compete with the giant of the Mountain Opening Period. As the saying went, two tigers cannot share one mountain. At that time, the West Mountain Elder would inevitably become its first target because the threat of this giant of the Mountain Opening Period evil cultivator was far above Lin Yi. Only when the two tigers fought, Lin Yi had a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Of course, Lin Yi's little plan couldn't be hidden from the experienced West Mountain Elder. His face suddenly showed a bit of killing intent. In order to perfectly capture a trump card puppet material, he really didn't want to hurt Lin Yi's body, but there must be a premise, which was that he wouldn't encounter any unexpected danger.
In the Devil Cold Sea Area, even all the sea areas of the South Continent, with the strength of the West Mountain Elder, he could be unscrupulous. As long as he had the patience, it didn't matter if he spent a year and a half on Lin Yi. However, it was different here. The moment he rushed out of the water just now, West Mountain Elder had already realized that this was the south island of the South Continent!
It was true that the evil cultivators of the Mountain Opening Stage were almost invincible existences, but the Spirit Beast Clan was also full of powerhouses. If he were to cause a ruckus here alone and attract the top existences of the Spirit Beast Clan, even the West Mountain Old Sect Master would suffer greatly, and his life might even be in danger.
Safety first. If he really provoked someone that he shouldn't provoke, West Mountain Elder could only bear the pain and kill Lin Yi. Even if he couldn't refine a trump card puppet, it was better than being trapped in this dangerous place of the South Continent with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Lin Yi's perception was so sharp that he instantly noticed the killing intent emitted from West Mountain Elder. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat. The biggest crisis was coming!
Lin Yi was not stupid. He knew that he could escape from West Mountain Elder for so long because the other party didn't want to hurt his body. Once this restriction was gone, it would be really not enough to kill him even if he had a few lives.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yi had escaped to the swamp that the ghost thing mentioned. It looked not much different from other dense forests, but it smelled fishy. If any creature dared to step on it, they would be trapped and buried alive in minutes.
"Roll in the mud, then escape to the east!" The ghost thing's reminder came one after another.
Without saying anything, Lin Yi did as he was told. After rolling around the edge of the swamp, he immediately ran to the east, ignoring the pungent smell of the mud.
"Huh? How could this be? " At this moment, West Mountain Elder was about to descend on Lin Yi's head, but he suddenly frowned. Just a moment ago, Lin Yi actually suddenly disappeared from his divine sense …
