I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 139 Have I arrived in Nanchu?
  Underfoot is a muddy swamp mire.

Above the head is a sneaky realm of black mist.

Looking up and around, I couldn't see any trace of animals, only some weird snakes, insects, rats and ants hanging on the hideous dead trees.

In such a harsh environment, not to mention Cao An, even Ying Huorong has lost his fighting spirit now.

"Cao An, where is this place? How do we get back?" Ying Huorong was very disgusted with the empty, smelly black cement pool.

Fortunately, both of them are masters. Ying Huorong stepped on the lotus fire under his feet, and Cao An activated the water embroidery pattern to walk on the water. The two of them acted in this swamp without any impact.

However, this place is shrouded in black fog, making it difficult to tell the difference between north and south. It is really difficult to judge where to go.

"Go this way." Cao An pointed in a direction rigorously.

"Is this the way back?"

"I don't know, but I feel like there's a little bit of anger here."

Cao An's investigative skills were unfortunately completely useless for finding the way. The only thing he could use now was Si Tianjian's Qi-gazing Technique.

He felt the breath of a living creature appearing in one direction, maybe it was a human? If you really meet someone, you can ask for directions.

With this in mind, Cao An took Ying Huorong and set out on the road.

It's a pity that there are definitely no living people in this place, but there are quite a few living monsters.

After walking only a few steps, the quagmire under his feet suddenly surged. Cao An was startled and quickly used Qing Gong to fly into the sky one foot high.

Below, a bloody mouth opened ferociously, emerging from the mire like an abyss, following close behind, biting towards them.

Cao An urgently took off into the air. At this moment, Qinggong had nowhere to rely on, so he could only slap Ying Huorong.

Ying Huorong also reacted very quickly, and also discharged with his backhand, and exchanged palms with Cao An in the air.

boom!
  The dark energy converged, and the palms of the palms clashed with each other. The two of them used this force to stagger their positions.

Crack! ! !
  With a dull sound of teeth closing, this sneak attack could only bite the air with hatred, and the huge body fell back into the quagmire.

"What a big crocodile!" Ying Huorong escaped the sneak attack and immediately praised the enemy in surprise.

Yes, this is a huge crocodile, a very, very big one.

Just looking at the tail, it is five feet long. It is an undisputed monster.

At this moment, he had sharp teeth and stared fiercely at the food in front of him. It was obvious that this place had been deserted for a long time and he was starving.

"Although it doesn't have wings, I haven't eaten crocodile meat yet, so I might as well give it a try."

Ying Huorong had already begun to think about today's dinner, while Cao An looked melancholy at the blisters rising around him.

"There seem to be a lot of crocodiles here, you can eat them with confidence."

brush brush~
  The calm swamp boiled in an instant, and countless small crocodiles suddenly sprang out of the swamp, biting the two people crazily.

Of course, these so-called small crocodiles are also one foot long each. If they are really bitten by their big mouth, Cao An will lose half his life.

"Wan Chao Jin!"

Knowing that the situation was not good, Cao An's water embroidery pattern was fully activated.

The big ones were left to Ying Huorong to deal with, while Cao An concentrated on dealing with the group of small crocodiles.

The blades in his hand were flying, and Wan Chao Jin created layers of air waves, cutting down all the attacking crocodiles. He also kept walking without stopping to avoid the possibility of being attacked by the crocodiles from beneath his feet.

Sneaking into the quagmire and fighting the crocodile head-on would definitely not work. The quagmire would impede his movements, and being surrounded would be a disaster.

But it would be difficult for him to hunt the crocodiles under the quagmire if he kept relying on water embroidery to walk on water!
  If a crocodile attacks, he will use Wanchao Jin to fight against it. If he consumes his energy like this, he is afraid that if he doesn't kill all the crocodiles, he will have no strength.

After thinking for a while, Cao An thought of a good idea. Maybe he could smash the [Bafang Hidden Sword Style] directly into the water?

To be precise, this sword technique does not require the use of a sword at all.

Instead, he condenses the sword intent to its peak, and then uses it with strength to strike instantly.

Naturally, it cannot compare to [Ten Thousand Chao Jin] in terms of operating speed. After all, every time this move is released, it takes some time to re-concentrate the sword intention.

But the good thing is that this move can be released at will.

Just like before, Cao An hid under his crotch and kicked out eight knives, catching others off guard. This is the secret of 'hiding'.

As for now, I won’t hide it anymore, just let it go.

Cao An stretched out his right leg, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and then turned around sharply.

【Bafang Hidden Knife Style】

Clang clang!
  The knife flew into the water, and the sharp force of the knife was beyond what these little monsters could resist. In an instant, dozens of crocodiles were cut in half.

The corpse slowly floated to the surface, and the smelly demon blood spread in the mire and swamp. One blow achieved a miraculous effect, and Cao An was very happy.

Then the next step is easy!

The Hundred Water Sword was no longer needed, and he put it directly into its scabbard, put his hands behind his back, and began a leisurely stroll around the pond.

Running the "Qing Yi Shen Xing Gong", I walked leisurely on the swamp, feeling that the sword's intention was already at a high level, and then slammed it towards the bottom of the quagmire.

Anyway, there are densely packed crocodiles in the water. If you kill them casually, you will always get results.

Roar! !

A shocking roar came from the mouth of the giant crocodile in the distance.

Seemingly seeing his children and grandchildren being slaughtered, the big crocodile became angry and frantically wanted to rush in for revenge. But as soon as it turned around, a small fist fell on his head.

boom!
  Ying Huorong looked like a little woman, no comparison with a huge crocodile.

But her punch was filled with ferocious fire, knocking the big crocodile unconscious on the spot.

The hardened skin is completely unable to withstand fists, and its attacks can't even touch the clothes.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten humans. Why are humans so powerful now?
  The big crocodile roared in anger, and the sound wave trembled for several miles, causing the quagmire to violently churn.

Are you ready to unleash your ultimate move? Cao remained calm and prepared to face the impact.

Then... the big crocodile turned around, dived straight into the pool, and slipped away with his children.

"No way! Do you have the guts to be a monster?" Ying Huorong angrily threw several fireballs at the water.

It was rare that she wanted to taste the meat of a big crocodile, but it was just gone? unhappy.

Cao An, on the other hand, now understood the crocodile's thoughts.

I fight side by side with Ying Huorong on weekdays, and I can gradually feel that Ying Huorong's demonic aura is getting stronger and stronger.

It's a kind of suppression from the upper level to the lower level. It's normal for the big crocodile to retreat when it feels bad.

But this also confirms one thing: there is not much time left for Ying Huorong and Red Fox.

The two souls occupy the same body for too long, and it is difficult to predict whether soul compatibility will occur.

We still need to find a way to get along as soon as possible and solve the physical problem. Well, maybe Si Tianjian, who is afraid of death, knows about it and goes back to ask.

After knocking off a group of crocodiles, the two continued walking forward.

This black cement pool feels like a gathering place for monsters, divided into small territories.

Cao An came out of the demon merchant's house, passed through the crocodile territory, and cut down a batch of flying fish. Along the way, there were all kinds of strange things, all of which were monsters in the water.

Perhaps the only good news is that Ying Huorong told him: "Are we going the wrong way?"

Cao An was instantly overjoyed: "Really? Are we on the right track?"

Ying Huorong shook his head very seriously: "No, we are going the wrong way, you keep taking detours."

"Yes, yes, because you, a blind person, said we were going the wrong way, so we must be going the right way."

"What! What do you mean if I said something wrong, it means I am right?" Ying Huorong lit up the flames in dissatisfaction.

This time, she looked at the road very carefully, and there was absolutely no way she could make a mistake.

"No, you really have a problem if you look at the road carefully. The correct way to get around this place is by water."

"What do you mean? I don't understand." Ying Huorong simply gave up thinking and waited for Cao An's answer.

"The miasma around us will deflect the scenery wherever we look. To put it simply, it creates hallucinations."

In this area, apart from swamps and black pools, there are also a lot of land, but except for trees, there are basically no traces of living creatures.

That's because the miasma here can disorient visual creatures, which is commonly known as ghosts hitting the wall.

The easiest way to solve it is to sink into the water and not be affected by the fog.

But that will be besieged by monsters in the water, which is also very dangerous.

Ying Huorong blinked: "So, the crooked road in my eyes is straight in your eyes? Are you not affected by these miasma?"

"Well, I'm not affected by any evil magic."

Cao An patted the [Green Grassland Map] in his arms. The function of that map was to prevent him from getting lost. With its ability, Cao An perfectly prevented the influence of Mu Bai and the swamp.

However, it seems that humans are unable to prevent it.

Because when he was at Nanshan College, the dean once used an illusion test on him, and he couldn't prevent it at that time.

I don’t know what this picture is about.

After confirming the difficulty of the swamp, the two of them had no worries. Cao An led the team to speed up and rush straight in one direction. They didn't care whether it was right or not, they wanted to get out of the swamp first.

After about half a day's journey, the two finally fought their way through and broke out of the black mist with difficulty.

Visible to the naked eye, the river water in front of him began to become clear, and the surrounding black fog gradually faded.

Finally, after passing through a bush, the sober air came, and the vision suddenly opened up.

On the horizon is the last ray of light before the sunset.

"It's really coming out!" Ying Huorong started dancing excitedly.

In the dark, smelly quagmire, her appetite was impressed. It was a joy to be able to come out.

On the contrary, it was Cao An, whose expression had solidified.

I heard a cry of killing in the distance, and there were two armies fighting hard.

Judging from the fighting strength of both sides, it seemed that they were not strong, but the shouts from both sides made Cao An feel trembled.

"Surrender quickly and stop struggling pointlessly!"

"Surrender? Impossible! There will never be any cowards among our Chiguang soldiers. Kill them!"

Chiguang's soldiers?
  Chi Guangguo!
  Here, we have reached the territory of the Southern Chu Kingdoms?
  That damn big catfish actually sent us directly to Nanchu!
