Chapter 177 Nether Poison Fire
The poisonous swamp of the underworld!
This is a swamp filled with poisonous miasma. Normal humans, even those with a certain level of cultivation, will die if they come here.
Only those poison masters who practice poisonous fighting spirit can come here safely, pick poisonous herbs, catch poisonous insects, absorb poisonous miasma to practice fighting spirit. This is a paradise for poison masters, but countless poison masters are also buried here.
The training of a poison master is never smooth sailing, and death is the most common. It is like raising a poison insect. Only when a large number of poison masters die can a true (poison) fighting king, (poison) fighting emperor, and (poison) fighting patriarch be raised.
In recent times, fierce battles have broken out in the Netherworld Poison Swamp. Whether in the sky or underground, the fighting is fierce. No one knows how many corpses have been swallowed up in those swamps.
After Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan arrived here, Zi Yan frowned immediately. Although the poisonous miasma could not hurt her, with her keen sense of smell, the disgusting smell made her feel very uncomfortable.
Xu Haoyu did not immediately go to verify whether Tiandu Girl was the Little Medical Fairy. He released his soul power, which spread silently in the Netherworld Poison Swamp and even gradually penetrated into the underground.
He wanted to see if there really was any strange fire here, and that in this place filled with poisonous miasma, it was indeed possible that the Netherworld Poisonous Fire would be born.
The soul in his spiritual realm has extremely enormous soul power, and any spiritual object cannot escape his perception.
After a while, Xu Haoyu widened his eyes in surprise:
"No way? It really exists!"
Then, Xu Haoyu stretched out his hand and tore a crack in space. He was the first to crawl in. Seeing this, Zi Yan gritted her teeth and followed.
Then the space crack gradually closed, and then in a huge cave deep underground in the Netherworld Poison Swamp, a crack suddenly appeared in space.
The crack became bigger and bigger, and then Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan walked out of the crack one after another.
Zi Yan said with some complaints:
"Where is this? The stench is ten times stronger than outside!"
Xu Haoyu looked ahead with a fixed gaze, then explained with a smile:
"This is deep underground in the Netherworld Poison Swamp. What do you see in front of you?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yan looked over as Xu Haoyu said, and her eyes suddenly widened.
I saw a giant green python lurking in the center. The python was ferocious and terrifying, and was devouring a human corpse. It should be a poison master. After death, his body rotted and became a hotbed of toxins. The toxins were ten or a hundred times more terrifying than when he was alive.
The poison master's body must have been swallowed by the swamp of the Netherworld Poison Swamp after his death, and then somehow came to the depths of the underground, and finally became food for the giant python.
Zi Yan frowned tightly, covered her mouth and nose, and said with some disgust:
"How disgusting! This giant python is not a monster. It doesn't have the aura of a monster."
Xu Haoyu said with great certainty:
"Of course it's not a demon beast. This is a strange fire, a fire that was born and raised naturally. It's the Netherworld Poison Fire, ranked 20th on the Strange Fire Ranking. It has condensed its spirituality and transformed into the shape of this giant python. Compared to the Fallen Heart Flame that the academy had back then, this giant python is no worse than the one in the academy. I don't know how many years it has existed."
At this time, the giant green python that was eating finally noticed the presence of Xu Haoyu and Zi Yan, turned around and looked at them.
As a strange fire, it instinctively sensed a huge threat. After a roar, it opened its mouth and spit out a turquoise poisonous fire, which spread rapidly. The danger was not only the fire, but also the poison in the fire. Facing the attack, Xu Haoyu raised his hand and drew a circle in front of him. The power of space spread out, forming a somewhat illusory wall to block the poisonous fire.
Seeing that the attack was not working, the giant python used all its strength. It was born in the Netherworld Poisonous Swamp, and now it directly began to extract the poisonous gas and miasma that had accumulated in the poisonous swamp for millions of years.
On the ground, horrible poisonous gas and miasma began to gather. The poison masters who were still fighting were enveloped by the concentrated poisonous gas and miasma. They quickly rotted and turned into a pile of bones. Their deaths were so tragic.
Such a scene shocked everyone. Poison masters above the level of Dou Wang immediately spread their Dou Qi wings and fled quickly. Those poison masters below the level of Dou Wang could only wait for death while wailing in the poison gas and miasma, scratching their faces, digging out their internal organs, and finally turning into a pile of eerie white bones.
"what happened?"
"How could such a strange change happen in the Netherworld Poison Swamp?"
"It must be the work of the Poison Sect (Ten Thousand Scorpions Sect). They want to annihilate us completely!"
"..."
Just as the top leaders of both sides were filled with shock and anger, deep underground in the Netherworld Poison Swamp.
Xu Haoyu noticed what the giant python was doing, frowned, and said to Zi Yan:
"Zi Yan, take care to protect yourself and don't get burned by the poisonous fire. The poison in the poisonous fire has been accumulated over the years. Once it invades the body, it will be very troublesome. I will go and collect this strange fire first."
Zi Yan responded. The best way to isolate the poisonous fire was to use the power of space. What Zi Yan was best at was the power of space. In her hands, the space became visible and condensed into a protective shield.
At this time, Xu Haoyu activated the Five Elements Divine Light to protect his body, and then he rushed forward against the poisonous fire in the sky.
With lightning flashing under his feet, he moved as fast as lightning and in the blink of an eye he arrived on top of the giant python. He clenched his hands, and the five elements of divine light gathered and condensed into a five elements divine sword.
Xu Haoyu swung his sword and the sword light was extremely sharp. He cut off the giant python's head with one sword, and then a large amount of poisonous fire spread at the broken part.
Xu Haoyu raised his hand and slapped again. The madly surging torrent of fighting spirit formed an unparalleled wind pressure, which blew away the spreading poisonous fire.
His eyes swept around, and just after the poisonous fire dissipated, a palm-sized green snake came into his sight. The little snake twisted its body as if trying to escape.
"I found you, the source of the Netherworld Poison Fire!"
Xu Haoyu changed his palm into a claw and grabbed the little green snake in his hand. Waves of spatial force condensed in his hand, forming a completely enclosed cage. Now the little green snake could not escape even if it wanted to.
For a powerful Dou Zun, dealing with the Netherworld Poison Fire ranked 20th on the Strange Fire List, it would be easy for him to capture it as long as he was careful about the poison.
Then, streams of soul power surged out from the center of Xu Haoyu's eyebrows, weaving into a network, wrapping around the origin of the strange fire and penetrating into it bit by bit.
First, it begins to erode its spiritual wisdom;
The second is to begin to leave a soul imprint.
As for the origin of the Netherworld Poison Fire, Xu Haoyu didn't dare to take it into his body easily. This strange fire was full of poison. It would be better to leave a soul imprint on it so that he could have 100% control over it first.
