In the black mud swamp.
Soon after Shang Xia went deep into the swamp, he smelled a faint smell of decay, and the faint mist rising from the surrounding swamp made it difficult for him to see far.
"Poisonous miasma?"
Shang Xia thought to himself, his brows furrowed slightly, and at the same time, he became more and more careful in the process of going deep into the swamp.
Speaking of poisonous miasma, it can actually be regarded as a kind of heaven and earth spirit.
Of course, this kind of heaven and earth spirit evil is really too thin, if you want to collect it, you will not only spend a lot of time collecting it bit by bit, but also waste a lot of energy to purify the collected poisonous miasma over and over again, and finally leave the purest poisonous evil spirit.
Shang Xia obviously didn't have the time and energy to purify it a little bit now, and the spiritual gourd in his hand was powerless in the face of this poisonous miasma that might spread all over the swamp.
The spirit gourd can be used to find evil spirits and store the spirits of heaven and earth, but it has no function of purification.
After going back this time, it was possible to report the existence of this swamp to the academy, and then send a special person to collect and purify the poisonous miasma that permeated the sky over the swamp, but I don't know how many years it will take to gather a complete poisonous demon that can be used for smelting.
However, this swamp had never been mentioned before, thinking that it was because it had just been formed after the origin of heaven and earth was poured backwards before.
If this is the case, there may really be a heaven and earth origin here that has not yet overflowed or evolved, and it would be good to find one or two heaven and earth spirits.
Thinking of this, Shang Xia originally wanted to use the Four Directions Monument to release his will perception again, but unexpectedly this time his own perception was not only seriously disturbed, but even slowly eroded by the poisonous miasma that permeated the surroundings.
Shang Xia hurriedly restrained his martial arts will perception, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
After the effect of his own martial arts will perception was disturbed and reduced, it was bound to minimize Shang Xia's foresight of danger in the swamp.
This will make him very likely to be attacked suddenly during the next investigation.
However, at this time, Shang Xia obviously would not give up halfway, and withdrew from this black mud swamp.
After pondering for a moment, Shang Xia sacrificed the spiritual gourd again, and the jade-colored illusory sword in it twisted on the mouth of the gourd for a moment, and finally designated a direction.
Seeing this, Shang Xia was sure in his heart, so he continued to go in the direction pointed by Xiaojian, and at the same time be careful of the pitfalls that may appear under his feet at any time.
However, this time Shang Xia walked less than a hundred feet when he suddenly noticed that he began to arch under a piece of mud not far away.
Shang Xia's heart froze, and he quickly released his martial arts will, and felt that an aura was surging with the muddy water.
Third order!
Shang Xia must have thought that the Red Star Gun was pointing at the quagmire not far away, and just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Regardless of the interference and erosion of the surrounding poisonous miasma, Shang Xia spread out his own perception as much as possible and collected it as soon as possible.
It was this instantaneous effort that Shang Xia had already captured that in the swamp within a range of tens of feet around him, at least four auras equivalent to martial arts appeared in different directions, and quickly outflanked Shang Xia.
This was obviously a trap, and the prey was Shang Xia himself, and at the same time, the silt and sewage in the swamp obviously had a strong effect of isolating the will perception.
At the moment when Shang Xia hesitated, in the muddy water that was arched directly in front of him, there was a sudden surge of vitality, and a poisonous water arrow completely condensed from black-brown muddy water shot towards Shang Xia's body.
The power of the poisonous water arrow seemed average, but Shang Xia did not dare to block it, but instead restrained his qi to the extreme, until it disappeared from the perception of the sneak attacker, but his body moved far away from the direction of the poison water arrow's attack, so as to avoid the poisonous mud and sewage splashing on him.
At the same time, Shang Xia Chixing picked up the spear, and a gun shadow with thunder and lightning was submerged in the muddy water emitted by the poisonous water arrow with lightning speed.
A low roar suddenly came out of the swamp mud, and in the muddy water that exploded all over the sky, a huge body four or five feet long was overturned from the mud, and a huge tail flew by, erasing Shang Xia's gun shadow at once, but the putrid smell in the space suddenly became much thicker, and it also brought a faint smell of blood.
Obviously, Shang Xia's shot just now had already injured this behemoth hidden in the swamp mud.
At the same time, as his body was still wrapped in thick mud, Shang Xia still recognized this behemoth that attacked him, which was a strange beast called the Swamp Lizard Crocodile.
At this time, sensing that Shang Xia had already started with this swamp lizard, the four swamp lizards coming from other directions rushed out of the muddy water at the same time and began to slide and swim on the surface of the swamp, and their speed suddenly doubled?
Almost in the blink of an eye, the other four swamp lizards and crocodiles had already arrived in front of Shang Xia.
The four huge crocodile tails, along with the poisonous mud and sewage that flew away, carried huge wind pressure and pulled towards Shang Xia from different directions.
Shang Xia jumped up, his figure suddenly rising more than ten feet above the swamp, avoiding the siege of the four swamp lizards and crocodiles at once.
At the same time, Shang Xia encouraged the primeval essence in his body, and wanted to use a short flight to glide in the air to completely break away from the encirclement of the five swamp lizards.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shang Xia's figure moved, five poisonous water arrows were shot from different directions, blocking all possible directions for him to break through at once.
These swamp lizards not only know how to set traps, but also have tacit cooperation with each other, knowing how to join forces to encircle and kill "prey".
But how could Shang Xia become a "prey"?
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it this time, he saw Shang Xia shaking the Red Star Spear in mid-air, and a wisp of vitality was sucked in mid-air, and even the five poisonous water arrows that flew in were suddenly like a swallow's nest, controlled by the Red Star Spear in reverse, and merged into a giant vitality spear that was gradually forming in mid-air.
It was the sixth type of providence gun that Shang Xia comprehended - the return gun!
This shot seems to be offensive and defensive, but in fact, in Shang Xia's hands, it can change the offensive and defensive trends at any time.
As Shang Xia shouted in mid-air, the Red Star Spear stabbed in the air, and the returning spear split into a group and attacked five swamp lizards and crocodiles besieging him.
The five swamp lizards and crocodiles swung their huge tails behind them in unison, each turning into a spear style that attacked them.
Shang Xia naturally understood that the returning spear was divided into five, but it could not hurt any swamp lizard crocodile.
But his real intention with this shot was just to make these five giant crocodiles take care of themselves, so as to get rid of their besieged state and take the initiative to attack.
Yes, facing the five swamp lizards that each have the strength of third-order warriors and occupy geographical advantages, Shang Xia's first thought was not to wait for an opportunity to escape, but to fight back and kill all these five swamp lizards!
At the moment when the five swamp lizards and crocodiles each broke Shang Xia's returning spear, Shang Xia, who quickly fell from mid-air, directly hit the swamp lizard crocodile that attacked him at the beginning.
This swamp lizard crocodile initially lurked deep in the quagmire and tried to sneak attack, but was unexpectedly attacked by Shang Xia first
Realizing that a shot was picked out, he was already injured at the time.
At this time, Shang Xia's style of escape gun was strange and difficult to guard, even though the strange beast itself had an instinct that far exceeded that of ordinary people, it was at a loss in the face of this shot, and finally was nailed to the ground by a gun shadow.
The five swamp lizards and crocodiles with the strength of the third level or above set traps to besiege Shang Xia, but after a short confrontation, Shang Xia set the time to kill them, and saw that the encirclement was about to be broken.
However, instead of being frightened by Shang Xia's sharp methods, the remaining four swamp lizards and crocodiles became more and more violent.
As soon as Shang Xia's figure fell, he saw four swamp lizards and crocodiles rapidly approaching him, and raised a large amount of mud to re-seal the loopholes exposed by the death of one swamp lizard crocodile.
At the same time, Shang Xia noticed that the faint poisonous miasma that had originally permeated the sky above the swamp was slowly converging towards this side, the poisonous miasma around him was becoming thicker, and the erosion of the perception of martial arts will became more and more serious.
These swamp lizards and crocodiles can actually induce the convergence of poisonous miasma?
This thought flashed through Shang Xia's mind, but now was obviously not the time to think about it.
These four swamp lizards and crocodiles obviously wanted to get close to Shang Xia and rely on the powerful body of the strange beast itself to engage in close combat.
These swamp lizards and crocodiles cooperate so tacitly, are they really just third-order strange beasts?
Shang Xia naturally would not let the four-headed swamp lizard crocodile succeed, but what worried him even more was that usually strange beasts could only possess some spiritual intelligence after reaching the fourth level, unless it was a special mutant beast like Yan Nier, and the swamp lizard crocodile obviously did not seem to have this ability no matter how you looked at it.
If this was the case, the situation Shang Xia was facing at this time might be even more serious than he expected, because this was very likely to indicate that there were still fourth-order beings hidden behind these third-order swamp lizards!
It's just that if there really needs to be a fourth-order strange beast, why only drive a few third-order strange beasts instead of personally ending up?
Shang Xia's thoughts kept spinning in his mind, but he did not delay the movements in his hands.
At the moment when the four-headed swamp lizard crocodile rushed into the thirty zhang range around Shang Xia, he suddenly held the Red Star Spear behind him with one hand, but instead pulled out the Jade River Sword, which he had rarely used since he advanced to the Three Talents Realm, with his right hand!
The long sword was in the air, but Shang Xia used the Sword Formation of Two Instruments and Seven Injuries!
Although Shang Xia named his Liangyi Realm supernatural power "Seven Wounded Swords", this swordsmanship supernatural power was essentially a complete set of "Liangyi Qiankun Sword Formation", which could perfectly accommodate different polar sword intents into one.
As soon as the Seven Wounds Sword came out, a magnificent sword qi slashed down in the air, but at the moment it was about to land, it collapsed into seven different polar sword qi, falling in different directions.
Then the seven polar sword qi differentiated again, each turning into two opposite unipolar sword qi.
These fourteen sword qi were combined into a complete and magnificent sword formation in mid-air, sometimes unipolar sword qi raided, sometimes the two poles combined to slash, and sometimes two or three bipolar sword qi combined to attack, it was fickle, infinitely mysterious, and powerful.
Even though the four-headed swamp lizard crocodile had rough skin and thick flesh, it was besieged by this sword formation, and it was cut all over its body in a short period of time.
At this time, the four-headed swamp lizard crocodile, not to mention finding Shang Xia's location, fought closely, it was like a headless fly running around him, and there was no rule at all.
Seeing this, Shang Xia naturally knew that the opportunity could not be missed, the Jade River Sword instantly let go and only used its own primeval traction to levitate above his head, the Red Star Spear instantly changed to dual wielding, and a "chaotic star gun" turned into a cold star in the sky, tying the body of a swamp lizard crocodile in front of him into a sieve, and then easily jumped out of the encirclement.
