The other swamps were uniformly black, but the swamp behind him was colorful. From a distance, it looked like a natural dye vat. The point was that this was not an ordinary dye vat, but a boiling dye vat that was bubbling with steam that could distort space.
Smelling the strange smell that made people feel dizzy, Lin Yi could not help but frown. Before he was teleported, he thought that this place would be shrouded in miasma, but there was no miasma. Instead, it was a strange swamp.
"Senior, what is this place?" Lin Yi covered his nose and asked curiously. There must be something wrong with this abnormal situation. He had been suffering from sequelae for the past month, so he was much more vigilant than before. His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with this swamp.
"This is the Five Poisons Swamp," the ghost answered.
"Poisonous?" Lin Yi was slightly stunned. It was normal for this swamp to be so poisonous. However, Lin Yi not only noticed this appearance, but also a more critical feature. "But the Spiritual Qi in this place seems to be very abundant."
Hideous and ugly was his first impression of this Five Poisons Swamp. However, if he looked closely, he would find that the density of the Spiritual Qi in this place was simply outrageous. Although there were many places with abundant Spiritual Qi on Heaven-stage Island, it was extremely rare to see such a density. At least, Lin Yi had never seen it in a natural environment.
Almost every bubble that bubbled out of the swamp contained extremely rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Of course, it was not just Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but also some other poisonous gases. Otherwise, it would not live up to the name of the Five Poisons Swamp.
"Well, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here is indeed abundant. Looking at the whole south island, there are only a few places with a higher concentration of Spiritual Qi than here. If this place was not so dangerous, there would be a lot of spirit beasts coming here to freeload the Spiritual Qi. Maybe they would even fight to occupy this place, and blood would flow like a river, "the ghost said.
"This place is dangerous?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows. Although the smell was indeed a little unpleasant, if it was just poison, it shouldn't be enough to make people flinch. Especially since many spirit beasts were talented and even had the innate immunity to poison, they wouldn't be afraid to come here just because of a little poison, right?
"Jie jie, kid, don't underestimate this Five Poison Swamp. Its poison isn't the kind that ordinary people know of. It's because this swamp naturally contains the power of the five elements. Basically, spirit beasts and human cultivators who don't get close to it will be attacked by it. The five elements kill each other, and entering it means death. It doesn't matter if you're immune to poison, "the ghostly thing explained.
"I see." Lin Yi finally understood, but he didn't continue to pursue the matter. No matter how rare this Five Poison Swamp was, it had nothing to do with him. Now that he had survived a disaster, what he wanted to do the most was to quickly return to the Verdant Arc Sea. Then he turned around and went back to North Island.
"Through this dense forest, you'll reach the Verdant Arc Sea. As for how to get to the Verdant Arc City, it's up to you, kid." The ghostly thing knew that Lin Yi was eager to return, so it immediately pointed out with a smile.
"Okay!!!" Lin Yi was immediately overjoyed. Immediately, he stopped looking at the Five Poison Swamp and performed the Super Butterfly Microstep to pass through the dense forest in front of him. As expected, after a short while, he saw the vast sea.
Although it was hazy under the sea mist, Lin Yi was in a good mood at this moment. But Lin Yi was in a great mood right now. If it weren't for the fact that he was afraid of attracting the nearby spirit beasts, he would've yelled out loud to relieve the pressure. After all, the pressure in the past month was really great. Fortunately, he finally escaped.
According to the ghostly thing, the Verdant Arc Sea was in front of him, but after all, Lin Yi was still standing on the cliff of the south island. There was no way he could get a free ride. No ship dared to get so close to the south island, not even the overlord of the South Continent's Escort Agency. Therefore, the only way for Lin Yi to leave here was to go into the sea.
Going into the sea was risky. If he was unlucky, he might encounter terrible sea beasts like the Ghost Ray. But compared to what Lin Yi had experienced in the past month, this was nothing at all.
Without any hesitation, after a little estimation of the direction, Lin Yi directly wrapped his whole body with Genuine Qi and jumped into the vast sea. Although it was not realistic to swim directly back to Verdant Arc City, jumping into the sea was the first step to leave the south island. Only after a certain distance could he have a chance to get a free ride.
Others were scared to jump into the sea, but Lin Yi was very calm. As long as he didn't encounter any difficult sea beasts, with his ability, he could stay in the sea for a month. As long as he didn't make a mistake in the direction, he could swim back to Verdant Arc City even if he swam in such a long time.
From the time he'd been hunted by the West Mountain Elder to the time he'd mistakenly entered the Soul Beast Conference … Lin Yi's luck had been so bad that he couldn't even get a sip of water to get stuck between his teeth … But now that it'd been a month, he wasn't as unlucky anymore.
After swimming about 20 miles away from the south island, Lin Yi found a passenger ship, and the destination was Verdant Arc City. After paying a hundred spirit jades, he finally got a free ride.
Returning to the Verdant Arc Pier and looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Lin Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really lucky to be able to come back alive this time.
Now in retrospect, even Lin Yi himself felt a little strange. Being chased by the West Mountain Sect, entering the Spirit Beast Convention by mistake, crossing the two major areas of the south island, any one of which would have led to death, but Lin Yi managed to get through all of them. He didn't lose an arm or a leg. It was really sweet after suffering.
Other than the fact that there were more people and the docks were busier than before, everything else in Velvet Arc City looked very normal. There weren't any obvious differences from before, and this was something that Lin Yi wasn't expecting.
After all, as early as a month ago at the Spirit Beast Convention, Vermilion Bird had already publicly determined the strategy to levy taxes on the various cities in the South Continent Sea Area, and even the selection of the City Lord had been decided. He didn't expect that a month had passed and no action had been taken.
But on second thought, at that time, the Settling District was responsible for the Devil Leng Sea Area, and the Vermilion Bird appointed the City Lord of Devil Leng City. Maybe the Devil Leng City had already taken action, but it hadn't affected the Verdant Arc Sea Area yet.
In any case, this had little to do with Lin Yi. This was a matter between the Spirit Beast Clan and the South Continent Sea Area. If there was a large-scale conflict, it was definitely not something that could be solved by one or two people.
Not to mention Lin Yi, even the strength of the West Mountain Sect was far from enough! (To be continued …)
