Capítulo 1791: Chapter 1782: Lethal Peril in the Swamp

“The Breathing Plate they discussed can actually sense the so-called Heavenly Dao Demon Beast. This type of demon beast is a virtual creation, not real, but if slain, the reward is many times better than that of ordinary demon beasts…”

Mo Wangchen murmured to himself. He had just witnessed with his own eyes that after these people killed a Fiery Flame Tiger, they not only gained a substantial amount of Divine Crystals, but importantly, the young woman known as Tianqing Fairy also obtained two Heavenly Crystals.

This was an enormous temptation for Mo Wangchen!

His Divine Sea was damaged, and he had a great need for Heavenly Crystals; he had been seeking ways to collect them. He did not expect to hear about the existence of this Breathing Plate at this moment.

“The Breathing Plate in this person’s hand is merely a replica; the real Breathing Plate is in the hands of the Yunyi City Lord… So it seems that it won’t be easy to obtain the Breathing Plate. But they just said that the Yunyi City Lord has produced a large number of Breathing Plate replicas. If I can get enough of them, even replicas could help me collect many Heavenly Crystals. Perhaps in Yunyi City, these will circulate in some trades.”

With this in mind, Mo Wangchen quickly made up his mind that he would visit this so-called Yunyi City at all costs.

It wasn’t just because of the Breathing Plate; more importantly, it was the Heavenly Crystals!

The Yunyi City Lord has been mass-producing this item and seems to have been using it for some time. Perhaps at this moment, within Yunyi City, there will be a significant flow of Heavenly Crystals. By going there, he might obtain some.

Hidden in the shadows, he planned to follow Tianqing Fairy and others who were in mid-air; because when Mo Wangchen released his perception, he couldn’t detect the ancient city, indicating that Yunyi City was a long distance away from this place.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but he followed them all the way to a damp swamp area, carefully concealing his aura, so the people ahead didn’t notice him.

The strongest among them was Tianqing Saintess, who reached the third level of the Reverse Life Realm. The leading man, Zhou Zijie, had a cultivation at the second level of the Reverse Life Realm, while the other two seemed like his followers, much weaker with only the first level of the Reverse Life Realm, as if they had just broken through recently.

“You said there is another Heavenly Dao Demon Beast here, could it be inside this swamp?”

In mid-air, Tianqing Fairy and the others halted. She scanned the swamp below, unable to help frowning slightly.

Zhou Zijie stepped forward, saying with a smile, “There is a Heavenly Soaring Frog in this swamp. I detected it yesterday but didn’t dare to act due to insufficient strength. Now that the Fairy is here, conquering it shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Heavenly Soaring Frog?” Tianqing Fairy frowned tightly; she seemed to have heard of this monster beast before.

Zhou Zijie nodded, “It’s a highly poisonous frog. Its body emits a slimy secretion, foul-smelling and highly toxic. Even cultivators at our Reverse Life Realm would face mortal danger if they absorbed too much of its emitted toxic odor. But rest assured, when you engage it, we’ll block those poisons. You just need to slay it quickly, and we’ll divide the spoils according to the usual practice.”

“You three step back first; I will drive out that poisonous frog. I’ll handle the main attack, and you three just need to distract it and draw its attention.” Tianqing Fairy said.

Zhou Zijie nodded with a smile and then retreated a bit. Mo Wangchen saw a chilling gleam flash in his eyes.

“This seems like a trap.”

In a certain spot below, Mo Wangchen shook his head. With his strong perception, he had already explored the underground of the swamp and sensed no poisonous frogs.

“Buzz…”

At the same time, in the mid-air, Tianqing Fairy’s sword emerged; it was a cyan Treasure Sword, thinner than other long swords, exuding a dim cyan glow.

As her Treasure Sword emerged, an invisible Sword Force spread through the air, astonishing even Mo Wangchen. This woman’s cultivation and Sword Dao were indeed formidable.

“Plop…”

A sound like boiling water arose. Gazing at the swamp, it was as if the temperature had risen, with a mysterious energy making the swamp noticeably hotter.

“Sizzle sizzle!”

Suddenly, several black shadows darted out. From beneath the swamp, three massive vines shot out like giant pythons, attacking Tianqing Fairy in mid-air.

This sudden scene startled her, but she quickly reacted, wielding her Treasure Sword to slay in an instant, emitting a cyan brilliance that cut the three massive vines in half.

“Hiss hiss hiss!”

But it wasn’t over, as gigantic vines continued to emerge from the swamp mud, like giant black pythons, enveloping Tianqing Fairy.

“Undying Demon Vine?!”

The woman’s face changed dramatically, as if realizing something.

The so-called Undying Demon Vine is an extremely rare species in the Cultivation World, rumored to originate from the era of primal chaos. Though it is just a vine, it possesses intelligence no less than humans.

This Demon Vine is undying and imperishable; no matter how you slay it, you cannot cut down all of its vines, and they only multiply, unable to be eradicated. Anyone entangled by it is eventually exhausted to death!

“Whoosh!”

Without a second thought, Tianqing Fairy swiftly retreated, but it seemed too late. From the muddy ground behind her, over a dozen massive vines burst out, cutting off her retreat.

“Indeed, the Fairy is well-informed; this is undoubtedly the Undying Demon Vine.”

Behind her, Zhou Zijie’s voice drifted to her ears, carrying a faint chuckle. They had unknowingly retreated far away, out of the range of the Demon Vine’s attack. “It’s rumored that the Fairy possesses the ‘Immortal Yin Body’, an extremely cold special physique, whereas the Demon Vine is the opposite, though born in the swamp, it is extremely yang. By devouring cultivators, it strengthens itself. Your attributes clash with it, and if it devours you, it’ll take a tremendous amount of energy to absorb your Immortal Yin Body. At that time, it will be at its weakest, making it a strong trump card for me if I can seal it using special methods.”

“All of this, thanks to the Fairy’s assistance.”

By now, Zhou Zijie finally revealed his true nature, speaking again with a sneer, “But it’s a pity, such a peerless beauty like you will become the meal for the Undying Demon Vine today.”
