The black clouds that filled the sky seemed to have appeared out of thin air without any warning.
As far as the eye could see, the black clouds covering the sky made sizzling sounds. As they got closer and closer, they made buzzing sounds.
Without any hesitation, Mu Chen pulled Song Yuqing and entered the dense forest.
However, this action was not very effective.
Even though the two of them hid in the dense forest and even ran wildly, the black clouds behind them were still chasing after them.
As he got closer, Mu Chen discovered the true form of the black cloud.
Bugs! Black insects with cicada wings flew over densely. Wherever they went, they made sizzling sounds. Then, they saw that the tree trunks were covered in charred black.
"Black Fire Flying Ants are Middle Rank Spiritual Beasts. They aren't worth mentioning individually, but each time they appear, there will be thousands of them. Therefore, even if a High Rank Spiritual Beast encounters them, it is almost impossible to escape death.”Song Yuqing's face turned pale when she saw the pitch-black insects attacking her.
There was no other way. After all, once this thing caught a creature, it could chew you into a pile of bones in almost a second.
Mu Chen frowned slightly. Even though he saw that the Black Fire Flying Ants had left behind almost no grass, he was not the least bit shocked. Or rather, he was forcing himself to remain calm, because once his blood rushed to his head, it would be really troublesome.
Fortunately, Mu Chen's speed wasn't slow, and with the boost of his Time Ability, the insects wouldn't be able to catch up to him for a while.
"Ah!" Suddenly, two screams came from the distance. Then, a black cloud rushed up a few thousand feet to the left, and then there was no more sound.
It was obvious that the two youths had been caught by the Blackfire Flying Ants. In the blink of an eye, they had been bitten and turned into a pile of charred bones.
Mu Chen's expression was solemn as he carried Song Yuqing and sped away. Song Yuqing's body was not as tall as his, so he was unsure how much acceleration she could endure. Hence, he simply carried him and sped away.
The Black Fire Flying Ants were also extremely fast. If it wasn't for Mu Chen being special, he wouldn't have ended up much better than the two youths.
The Black Fire Flying Ants that were chasing after him were getting closer and closer. They would probably be able to catch up to Mu Chen in less than half an hour.
However, Mu Chen was not running around blindly. He had a clear destination.
"Mu Chen, put me down and leave alone!”Song Yuqing suddenly cried out.
Mu Chen did not care about it and continued to run.
"Put me down, or none of us will be able to escape. The Black Fire Flying Ants are extremely fast and have great endurance.| We won't be able to escape!" Song Yuqing cried as she continued to pat Mu Chen's chest.
"Shut up!" Mu Chen shouted coldly. He exerted strength in his feet and increased his speed once again.
Song Yuqing sobbed as tears rolled down her cheeks and onto Mu Chen's neck.
However, Mu Chen did not have the time to care about this. He had a destination, which was the river formed by the decaying water.
Although he could not touch the Poisonous Water, and even if Mu Chen's body was strong enough, he could not touch it either. However, this did not mean that he had no other way.
In just a moment, the decaying water appeared in front of him. Mu Chen suddenly stopped and put Song Yuqing down.
and reached| Song Yuqing didn't even see what was happening when a pitch-black object in the shape of a ladle appeared in Mu Chen's hand.
"Chase, chase, chase, I'll let you chase!"
The power of time surged. Although the ladle formed by the Dragon's Shadow would not be corroded by the Poisonous Water, he did not want anything to go wrong. Therefore, he used the power of time to stop the Dragon's Shadow. This time, even the Poisonous Water would not be able to harm the Dragon's Shadow at all.
Mu Chen, who was finally able to vent his anger, revealed a sinister smile. He ferociously dipped the Dragon's Shadow into the Poisonous Water and pulled it up, splashing it towards the Black Fire Flying Ants that were about to catch up.
“嗞嗞!”The poisonous water came head-on and landed on the dense group of Blackfire Flying Ants in the front row.
The black fire flying ants in the front row fell to the ground like raindrops.
These Blackfire Flying Ants were unable to resist the corrosion of the decaying water. They seemed to have sensed great danger and suddenly stopped moving forward, buzzing in the air.
Mu Chen did not stop after getting a good result. Wave after wave of Poisonous Water was brought up by the Dragon's Shadow and splashed towards the Black Fire Flying Ant.
In an instant, another dense swarm of Blackfire Flying Ants fell from the sky, causing countless casualties.
The Black Fire Flying Ant was anxious.| As if it had received an order, it turned around and flew away. In a moment, it turned into a black torrent and disappeared into the distance.
Mu Chen flung the Dragon's Shadow in his hand, shaking off the poisonous water before it disappeared into his hand.
"It would be great if I could store some of this Poisonous Water. This is a pretty good trump card.”Although the Dragon's Shadow would not be corroded, it was Mu Chen's weapon. He did not want to use the Dragon's Shadow to contain the decaying water.
"It's not impossible. It just needs something special.”Song Yuqing whispered. The Blackfire Flying Ant's departure eased her nervousness.
"What is it?" Mu Chen asked curiously.
Song Yuqing paused for a moment." I heard that there's a bottle made of rootless stone that can be filled with poisonous water."”
"Rootless Stone? What is that?" Mu Chen frowned slightly. He had never heard of it before.
"I've only read about it in books. It was said that this Rootless Stone was extremely rare and precious. Rootless Stone, as the name suggested, was a stone without roots. However, this explanation might not be very clear. The Rootless Stone meant that no matter what it touched, it would never be able to touch anything else. If the Rootless Stone was made into a container, the Poisonous Water could be stored inside. Due to the special nature of the Rootless Stone, the Poisonous Water could not come into contact with the bottle and would not be corroded.”Song Yuqing Jiao| He said.
Understanding Song Yuqing's meaning, Mu Chen's eyes lit up.
As for why the Rootless Stone, which could not be touched, could contain the Poisonous Water, it was simple. After it was made into a bottle, the Poisonous Water and the Rootless Stone would not be in contact with each other. It was similar to the effect when he used the Dragon's Shadow, which had been frozen in time, to contact the Poisonous Water.
However, one of them was locked in place, and the other was simply not in contact.
Well, this could be considered Mu Chen's personal opinion. As for the truth, he would only know after experimenting with real objects.
When the sky turned bright and the Black Fire Flying Ants disappeared, the two of them left the Poisonous Water. Although this thing could be said to be the strength to kill enemies, it could also be a fatal weapon to them if they were not careful. It was a double-edged sword. Therefore, it was better to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they were to get involved in some accidents, it would not be worth it.
"Mu Chen, where are we going now?”Song Yuqing followed behind Mu Chen. She felt completely at ease as she stood beside the youth.
After all, the strength that Mu Chen had displayed was only one aspect. His calm and confident appearance had also infected her.
Of course, Mu Chen didn't know about all of this. Even if he did, he wouldn't care. He would just explain it as the protagonist's halo. After all, the little girl who didn't even have the chance to appear in the main chapter (or hadn't appeared yet), Mu Chen estimated that he wouldn't have the chance to interact with her in the future.
"There was once a person called 'Huang Rong' who said that where poisonous snakes appear, there will definitely be antidotes.”
"What do you mean?" Song Yuqing was stunned.”
"Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. Since this decaying water is so vast and vast, stretching for thousands of miles, there should be something that can resist its corrosion beside this decaying water. If we can find it, then we can use it as a portable consumable.”Mu Chen smiled and said," In this way, do you think that we can have another life-saving trump card when facing those high-grade Spiritual Beasts?”
Song Yuqing's eyes lit up as she nodded.
Ha ~ As expected, the IQ of the person who is with the protagonist will be lowered? Even though I'm just a fake protagonist.
Mu Chen cursed in his heart as he turned his head to look at the decaying water that was rolling away.
If he could carry these things with him, they would definitely be of great use when he threw them out during a battle.
The trial this time was not difficult for him at all. There were a total of thirty spots that he could fight for. With his strength, he would basically be able to crush everyone in the arena. Even if all the people of the Spiritual Road surrounded him, he would still be able to survive. If he were to use all of his trump cards and go all out, it was estimated that a large number of the people of the Spiritual Road would die.
This could be considered as compensation for the players.
No, it could be said that it was purely because the players were too quick to speak and the people behind the scenes would be bored. Therefore, they gave everyone a starting " capital ". With this starting " capital ", even if Mu Chen did not receive all of it, it was enough to completely crush these young men and women who had not yet begun to cultivate Spiritual Energy.
He could even use the simulation to create a Star Map to fight against non-humans. In other words, as long as he didn't seek death, there wouldn't be any danger.
"Mu Chen, what are you staring at? Didn't he say that he was looking for something that could deal with the Poisonous Water?”Song Yuqing's voice pulled him back.
Mu Chen looked up and saw the girl smiling like a flower. His gaze passed through the girl, past the poisonous water, and looked at the sky.
