The man sobered up first and quickly shouted, "Little sister, run!"
At this moment, he was no longer greedy. He didn't want the saber or the lotus, he just wanted to live. However, it was already too late!
"Ao!" The Cadaver Demon roared again, and its dark, withered hands grabbed the man's feet and forcefully pulled him into the water …
"No!" The man cried out in horror, his hands grabbing a handful of grass beside him, and his feet madly struggled.
But how could he contend against the Cadaver Demon with his little strength? The Cadaveric Demon let out a mocking roar and pulled again!
"Ah!" The man was pulled into the dark water like a ragged bag.
"Husband!" The woman ran two steps and found that the man was being dragged away. She quickly ran back and cried loudly towards the water.
But the only response to her was the bubbling blood and the bubbling water …
That guy must have regretted it before he died, right? But what use was regret? If he was given another chance, he would still make the same choice. His greed had already made him lose his nature, and sooner or later he would lose his life.
Ye Kong sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay. Taking advantage of the fact that the Cadaver Demon was still underwater, he drilled out of the thicket. Using the tip of his toes to push off the roots of the tree, he leapt from the tree into the swamp like a green shadow.
At this moment, his Invisibility Talisman had already lost its effect, but he didn't care about it. His toes once again tapped on an ancient vine in the swamp, and he ran two steps along the ancient vine. Then, he jumped again, straight towards the Nine Netherworlds Heart Lotus in the center of the swamp.
Although it was underwater, the Cadaver Demon could see everything clearly. It didn't expect that there was another person hiding in the dark. At this moment, the Cadaver Demon was furious. Originally, it was prepared to bite the man to death before catching the woman, but now it was clearly too late.
"Ao!" The Cadaver Demon jumped out of the water, and its blood-red eyes stared at Ye Kong's back.
However, it was already too late to chase after Ye Kong. It looked around and had an idea.
"Boom!" The Cadaver Demon fiercely punched an ancient vine in front of it. The ancient vine was as thick as a person's arm, and three to five people standing on it would be fine. But under the Cadaver Demon's full strength attack, it unexpectedly broke.
"Roar!" The Cadaver Demon angrily roared again. Using the ancient vine as a whip, it lashed out at the back of Ye Kong's head.
Ye Kong felt a gust of wind at the back of his head. He had already arrived in the vicinity of the Nine Nether Heart Connecting Lotus. However, he couldn't care less about plucking it. With a somersault in the air, Night Dance slashed back with great force!
"Crack!" The ancient vine was cut into two.
Ye Kong didn't want to stay any longer. He tapped the water with the tip of his foot and flipped to Bao Lian's side.
But the cadaver demon wasn't idle. It had been with Bao Lian for a long time, so it knew what was going on. He dove into the water, probably grabbing the root of the Heart Connecting Lotus of Nine Nether. He pulled the root and fled to the other side of the swamp.
Ye Kong flipped over to the side of the lotus and reached out to grab it. However, he grabbed nothing but air. The lotus actually floated on the surface of the water.
"Hey, kid! Don't go!" Ye Kong kicked the water with the tip of his foot and chased after the lotus.
On the shore of the swamp, the man's mutilated body had already floated to the surface. The woman pulled the man's body up and cried loudly. It was as if she had nothing to do with what was happening in front of her.
The Cadaver Demon was very familiar with the surface of the water. It swam very quickly underwater, dragging the Heart Connecting Lotus of Nine Nether along with it.
Ye Kong chased after it, but there were too many ancient vines on the surface of the water. He reached out his hand a few times, but he couldn't catch Bao Lian.
Ye Kong was getting anxious. He was getting deeper and deeper into the swamp. If he attracted the attention of a powerful monster, it would be even more troublesome.
He stopped and stood still on a U-shaped ancient vine. He touched his storage ring with his finger. The other storage rings and storage bags couldn't be used here, but the storage ring left behind by the Wanderer of Five Elements was not affected.
Ye Kong took out a white porcelain bottle and opened the stopper. He tried to think of something, but there was no response. He had no choice but to shout, "Come out!"
Soon, a row of small heads with antennae popped out of the bottle. Inside the bottle were dozens of Golden-Winged Ants. This was what Ye Kong had prepared before entering the Spirit Devouring Poison Miasma. Spirit Beast Pouches couldn't be opened here, so Ye Kong put them in a small bottle and kept it in his storage ring.
Of course, Ye Kong had already ordered them not to eat anything. Otherwise, they would have already swallowed the bottle.
However, in the Spirit Devouring Poison Miasma, Divine Sense couldn't be used, so Ye Kong couldn't use his mind to control them. Fortunately, these dozens of Golden-Winged Ants were the first generation of breeding ants that Ye Kong had selected. After more than a hundred years of raising them, they could already understand human speech.
Ye Kong said, "Go underwater and kill that Cadaver Demon. Once you're done, come back immediately. Don't make any mistakes!"
"Buzz!" The dozens of Golden-Winged Ants turned into specks of golden light and burrowed into the water, making a very faint sound.
Ye Kong couldn't use his divine sense to know how the Golden-Winged Ants did this. However, he soon saw that the Nine Nether Psychic Lotus was already motionless on the water's surface. The snow-white lotus shone brightly.
"What's yours is mine. What's mine is still mine!" Ye Kong smiled proudly and jumped over a few ancient vines. The lotus happened to be next to a wisteria that was close to the water's surface.
Ye Kong was about to reach out, but he suddenly retracted his hand.
"It doesn't seem to be the Nine Nether Psychic Lotus, but …" Ye Kong muttered to himself for a moment, then his face lit up with surprise. "It really seems to be the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus. Fortunately, I didn't touch the flower core with my hand."
The Nine Nether Psychic Lotus and the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus only differed by one word, but their effects were vastly different! The Nine Nether Psychic Lotus was a good medicine for resisting poison, but the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus was an extremely powerful poison!
The two lotuses looked exactly the same. The only difference was the bud in the flower core. One was tender yellow, while the other was as black as ink.
However, although the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus was a poison, it was also a rare treasure that had gone extinct long ago. In terms of value, it was even more precious than the Nine Nether Psychic Lotus.
The Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus was so precious because of its unique poison. According to legend, after being poisoned by this poison, no matter what cultivation level you were at, you would immediately drop an entire realm. From then on, no matter how much you cultivated, you would not be able to advance any further.
It was easy to detoxify the poison. Eat another petal of the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus. The petal was like a switch. After eating one petal, it would drop. After eating another petal, it would recover.
Of course, Ye Kong didn't dare touch such a poison. Forget a realm, he wouldn't be able to bear it even if he dropped one or two realms.
Ye Kong took out two low-grade magic tools from his storage ring and scooped up the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus. He found a slender root under the lotus. Just now, the Cadaver Demon had been dragging the root as it ran.
Ye Kong was even happier. With the root, it meant that more Nine Nether Psychic Lotuses would appear in the future. If he took it back and cultivated it with the Breath Soil, wow, he would be rich. If he took it to The Black Robe, he would be able to sell a petal for millions.
Ye Kong raised his hand and swept it over the Nine Nether Ink Heart Lotus, collecting the Thousand Year Poison Lotus. Then, he opened the bottle stopper and collected the Golden-Winged Ants that had returned after completing their task.
As for the Cadaver Demon, Ye Kong didn't check it. As a Cadaver Demon, it was a corpse that had died for tens of thousands of years. It wouldn't have any good things, nor would it have a road guide token.
After collecting the long extinct poisonous lotus, Ye Kong thought to himself. Cultivators and Monster Cultivators didn't dare to wander around in this Spirit Devouring Poisonous Miasma. In other words, many places had never been visited by people. Would there be a lot of legendary treasures left behind?
But before he could think about it, a soft and refreshing wind suddenly blew over the surface of the swamp.
"The wind at night is really comfortable." Ye Kong sighed, but then he remembered something.
"Not good! The poisonous miasma is coming! "
Ye Kong didn't dare to be negligent and jumped over the ancient vines in the opposite direction of the breeze.
But after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, when he stood on the shore on the other side of the swamp, he found that the opposite side was already foggy.
"F * ck your ancestors, where the hell is this poisonous miasma coming from?" Ye Kong had to change direction.
But not long after, his eyes were still foggy.
"Not good, I'm surrounded by the poisonous miasma." Ye Kong was stunned for a moment, but he wasn't afraid. According to the information he obtained, as long as he hung the road guide token on his body, he wouldn't be affected by the poisonous miasma.
In order to avoid being attacked, Ye Kong stuck an Invisibility Talisman on himself. But he was surprised to find that the Invisibility Talisman seemed to have failed.
"It seems that there's going to be a fierce battle!" Ye Kong took off the Night Dance from his back and slowly walked into the poisonous miasma …
Walking into the poisonous miasma, Ye Kong was surprised to find that the road guide token on his waist lit up, illuminating an area in front of him. Around his body, there was also an area that the poisonous miasma couldn't invade.
But this area was pitifully small, just enough to cover his body. If he wanted to carry others, it was definitely not enough. No wonder the village chief said that everyone must have a token.
Ye Kong walked forward for a while and found that this token was indeed useful. Wherever he walked, the poisonous miasma would disappear, as if he was wrapped in a protective layer.
"Roar!" Suddenly, a beast's roar came from the thin mist in front of him. It was low and fierce, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared from the grass.
"F * ck your ancestors!" Ye Kong mercilessly slashed the other side in half and cursed, "A rabbit dares to pretend to be a tiger, you're really tired of living!"
In the poisonous miasma, all the demon beasts became crazy. Rabbits, mice, and the like were also incomparably arrogant. But these things going crazy was nothing special. Ye Kong's luck was good, he didn't encounter too powerful mutated demon beasts. While he was killing, he also used vines to carry the demon beasts' corpses that could be used as food. When he returned to the Sun Family Village, he wouldn't let people think that he lived in the village for nothing.
He walked along the edge of the swamp, relying on his memory, going back the way he came.
Originally, the night was dark, and with the poisonous miasma, his vision was not very good. The visibility was also only a few meters. Although the road guide token on his waist was bright, not only could it not illuminate the way, but it also constantly attracted demon beasts.
Ye Kong walked while killing, sighing in his heart. The crazy demon beasts in the poisonous miasma … were only so-so.
After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a mutilated corpse in front of his feet. Looking at it with rapt attention, it was the man who was dragged into the water and killed by the Cadaver Demon.
"What about the woman?" Ye Kong's heart suddenly moved. His heel forcefully stepped on the ground, and he suddenly jumped back …
