It was a green swamp with seaweeds that looked like catkins floating on the water surface. Wisps of green smoke spiraled up, creating a green smokescreen above the water. A faint sour smell diffused from the area.
Shi Yan was standing at the protruding point of a cluster of seaweeds. Half of his body was exposed. He lifted his head to see the green smokescreen. He couldn't help but open his mouth to take a sniff.
Wisps of green smokescreen flowed into his mouth and nose like a stream. The sour toxins suddenly expanded in his body. Wherever the toxins touched, his flesh felt numb. His bones became stiff and his blood circulation slowed down.
The toxins could paralyze the body and make people lose control of their bodies unknowingly. After a while, they would feel sore all over their bodies. Even the God power in their bodies would be drained.
It was a kind of toxic gas that could seep into people's bodies and corrode them.
Strange light flashed in his eyes. The Poison-dipped Cold Bead hiding in his soul altar appeared on the tip of his tongue. A suction force was released from the black bead. Right after that, many fine threads that naked eyes couldn't see flew out of his body and entered the Poison-dipped Cold Bead.
The green liquid in the swamp and the toxic gas hovering around the area all contained slow-acting toxins. There were many similar areas in the swamp.
This place wasn't far from Mo Fou, Wu Bai, and Cecilia. It was less than one hundred miles away. Although they couldn't fly freely on the ancient continent, to Ethereal God Realm experts like Shi Yan, they could reach one hundred miles in just a blink. Especially the warriors cultivating Space power Upanishad.
A scorching flame was burning above his head like a small sun that was constantly releasing the light of the fire source.
The co-soul was urging the life energy fluctuations of hundreds of miles around. It reflected in his head.
Mo Fou, Wu Feng, Wu Bai, and Cecilia didn't change their positions. They were still discussing how to deal with the threat of the God Clan. Shi Yan's Soul Consciousness extended. After several breaths, his face changed silently. Divine light sparkled in his eyes as he concentrated on his thoughts.
He had located the precise location of Mia, Phelps, and the Bai family's warriors.
There were twenty-seven warriors in total. Seventeen of them were at Third Sky of Ethereal God Realm and the other ten were at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm. This group of twenty-seven warriors had vigorous Blood Qi and a strong life magnetic field. Their real competence was a little higher than their realm.
Especially Mia, the leader of the group. Her life magnetic field had a strong energy fluctuation that could be compared to an expert at Incipient God Realm. Her Blood Qi wasn't less abundant than Wu Bai's.
Other than the four elites from the Bai family, the rest were all Protoss clansmen. Every single one of the Protoss clansmen was extremely powerful, far more powerful than their peers of the same level.
After observing for a while, he retrieved his Soul Consciousness. His face became more serious.
Things were much trickier than he had imagined …
His main purpose wasn't to help Shang Ying Yue deal with the Bai family. He wanted to take the Seven-colored Demonic Flower from Mia. It was his main mission in this ancient continent. As Yang Tian Emperor's brain was invaded by the Soul Rotting Aphids, he needed this demonic flower to wake up.
He had to take the Seven-colored Demonic Flower!
The reason why he didn't go with Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, and Wu Feng was that he had his own plan. With the connection between his co-soul and the ancient continent, he could sense anything strange around him. It was like he had a pair of eyes that could observe the entire world.
With this protection, even if he didn't go with Mo Fou and Shang Ying Yue, he could still deal with any danger. He could dodge in advance and ensure that he wouldn't encounter the Protoss team directly.
He also cultivated Space power Upanishad. It could be said that he was invincible in this swamp. Unless he didn't want to risk his life and jump into the enemy's encirclement, he wouldn't encounter any danger.
If he went with Mo Fou's team, his hands and feet would be tied. He had to share his advantages with them and he couldn't gain anything from them. No matter how he looked at it, he would suffer a loss. Of course, he wasn't that stupid.
He had planned to act alone to find a chance to attack Mia and take the Seven-colored Demonic Flower. But now, he didn't have that thought...
This time, he had studied Mia's body and her life magnetic field. Now, he knew how intimidating Mia was. When Mia wasn't hurt, even if he fought her one by one, he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand even if he had used all of his abilities.
At this moment, Mia was always with the Protoss team. He didn't have a chance to attack her. If he didn't want to die, he would have a tragic ending...
His face darkened, Shi Yan pondered and tried to find a solution to achieve his goal. After a while, his eyes brightened. He couldn't help but smile coldly.
If he could use Mo Fou, Sha Zhao, Wu Feng, Wu Bai, and Cecilia, he would have a chance to fulfill his wish. He didn't care if he could kill them all or not.
An idea popped up in his head. Gradually, he had a direction. He was thinking about how to perfect it. His body slowly sank into the toxic pond and disappeared.
…
"Miss, please stop for a while."
The elegant and handsome Yue Man suddenly stopped in front of the team. He squatted down, one of his palms with mysterious drawings. He casually placed it on the muddy ground under his feet. The dirty mud didn't touch his slender, white hand. It was shielded by a faint halo.
Mia rose her snow-white arm and made a strange hand gesture. Everybody including Phelps and the Bai family halted.
They looked at Yue Man.
Silver electric beams shot out of Yue Man's fingertips like silver fish that could swim underground. They happily entered the swamp and left quickly.
Yue Man closed his eyes and drew many curves in his head. The surroundings emerged in his head. With him as the center, the environment was projected in his head like a vivid painting...
"A small fish is close to us." Yue Man was surprised. He stood up and pointed at the direction where Shi Yan was hiding. "He has only Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm cultivation base. I think he got separated from the team. Haha, this man is careless. He's in the area where I can use my power to detect him even if I don't need to observe."
He looked at Mia and waited for his Miss's order.
"... If he's just at Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm, we don't need to mobilize the team. We don't want to waste our time," Mia ordered faintly, "Bai Hao, you guys go there and help me clean them up."
The four warriors of the Bai family of Dry Bone Star Area bent their bodies slightly and answered cautiously. Then, Bai Hao led the way and they left.
"After we clean the fish that escaped the net, do you want these four warriors of the Bai family too?"
Phelps of the Ascot family had a sinister smile on his handsome, young face. He made a gesture of cutting his neck. The warriors of the Ascot family behind him laughed evilly. Apparently, they didn't consider the Bai brothers as their true companions.
"We still need these four dogs," Mia smiled tenderly but her words were sinister. Mia's smile was gentle, but her words were vicious and feminine. "When we enter the central area, we might have to compete with the other families. Even if we don't use them, we can use them as cannon fodder to explore the way."
"Mia jie-jie, you're thoughtful," Phelps recognized her and complimented her sincerely.
"You're not bad, either." Mia smiled cheerfully. Her eyes sparkled as she stretched her body charmingly. Her waist curved amazingly. "Hurry up and finish it. Haig sent me another message. He said that he will be here soon. He also said that we're too slow."
"Then we should hurry up," Phelps snorted. "I don't want to see Haig's face."
"No one wants to see him," Mia sighed begrudgingly.
They continued their journey at a moderate pace.
…
"We should move again. The others are close to us now. We can't linger in one place for a long time."
Cecilia, who was like a beautiful snake, suddenly shivered and woke up from her short meditation. Her pretty face showed a trace of worry. "I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. I'm afraid we'll have to pay a heavy price this time."
Mo Fou, Wu Feng, Sha Zhao, Shang Ying Yue, and the others jolted up immediately. They all grimaced and looked at Cecilia oddly.
Recently, Cecilia had always been able to jinx the disaster in advance. Her judgment of good things was inaccurate, but her prediction of bad things was accurate. Now that she said that something was wrong, everyone's expression changed slightly, and they all felt that something was wrong.
"It's true that we can't linger in one place for a long time," Mo Fou nodded. "They have someone who knows how to track. Although it's not as good as the Soul Consciousness and it takes a lot of time, they can locate us."
Everybody's face became more solemn. They knew that Mo Fou was telling the truth. During this half a year, no matter how they had tried to hide, the others would find them after a while.
"Alright, we'll continue to move until the Center is unsealed," Wu Feng sneered. Wu Feng sneered. "I don't believe that they can clear all the warriors who have entered the four territories of the ancient continent. As long as the Center is unsealed, we can get there. I don't think they can chase after us."
Everybody was shaken.
…
In the green swamp, a cluster of algae swayed for a while, and then ShiYan's figure emerged. His entire body sparkled with faint starlight, like a silver halo covering his body.
He frowned and looked in a certain direction, silently sensing for a moment.
Shi Yan left the cluster of algae and changed his tracks. He moved like a zigzagging lightning strike. Shortly after, he disappeared.
After fifteen minutes, Bai Hao's team of four appeared by the algae. Bai Hao took a deep breath and then said darkly, "There was someone there. But now, he's gone. I think he's gone." From a short distance, they could still feel the aura of living beings.
"Did he know we were coming?" asked one of them.
"Impossible. It's just a coincidence," Bai Hao shook his head. Pondering for seconds, he gave up. "We're not Yue Man. We don't need to chase after him. We should go there to help him."
The other three nodded. They followed Bai Hao's suggestion and headed to their destination.
