85 A Co-Master (1/2)
This hideous looking strange man could easily navigate through the mud, and the dark green scales on his body made him appear more frightening.
As he shouted in anger, the poisonous miasma in the surroundings all began to gather at their location.
The dense miasma concentrated around the group and continued to condense into a dense fog.
”Hualala!”
Drops of green poisonous water clattered down all of a sudden.
A poisonous rain fell upon this swamp.
Chi Xiao's expression changed as he yelled, ”Zhua Qi! Don't you dare make a fuss!”
At the same time, Chi Xiao took out a small curtain which expanded and covered the whole group.
The poisonous rain fell on the silver curtain and trailed through the edges, immediately emitting poisonous fumes when falling in the swamp.
”Silver Curtain!”
The ugly man shouted with a twisted face, ”You took out your Silver Curtain! Chi Xiao, you must want to have a good fight with me this time!”
”Stop it!” Seeing the ugly man, Zhua Qi, about to act, Chi Xiao hurriedly tried to stop him, ”Zhua Qi, you are mistaken about me this time! I haven't come here to fight with you but the Nine-headed Sky Snake! And I only took out my Silver Curtain to block the snake's poison, not to trap you!”
”I don't buy it!” Zhua Qi laughed coldly, ”You want to fight the Nine-headed Sky Snake alone? Who would even believe that? Humph! You have no grudge against the Nine-headed Sky Snake. You must have come for me!”
After a grunt, Zhua Qi immersed one hand into the swamp and soon, streams of odd green light shot into the mud.
One after another, mud dragons jumped out of the swamp. With ten meters tall body andthickness of a human waist, they tried to bite their group.
Zhua Qi could not only control the miasma in the Dead Swamp, but could also control the mud.
Shi Yan's expression changed slightly, as he didn't expect themselves facing such a tough enemy right at the beginning of their journey. He immediately became vigilant as he circulated his Profound Qi and prepared to attack those mud dragons.
Those mud dragons swiftly flew out from the swamps and moved towards the group from all directions. It was quite a magnificent scene.
The dry land on which the group was currently standing on was continuously sinking into the swamp under Zhua Qi's control.
Xia Xinyan's eyes turned icy as she decided to use her Incarnation Martial Spirit.
”Zhua Qi! Believe me! I haven't come for you!” Chi Xiao yelled anxiously.
Chi Xiao was fully assured that he could beat Zhua Qi, but the consequence of doing this would be dreadful to their group. He firmly believed that once they entered into battle, only he and Xia Xinyan could withstand Zhua Qi's attacks.
”Shi Yan, come here. I will protect you.” Xia Xinyan glanced over him and said with an emotionless voice.
Han Feng and Ku Long were surprised, and looked at Xia Xinyan in confusion.
So were Wu Yun Lian and Zuo Shi. It was unreasonable that Xia Xinyan would try to protect Shi Yan.
Shi Yan dared not take the risk, so he hopped through the dry lands to Xia Xinyan's side.
”Zhua Qi!”
Chi Xiao was astounded, ”The Gate of Heaven is in the Yin Valley! I came for the Nine-headed Sky Snake! Stop now!”
”What?” Zhua Qi was quite surprised as he screamed, ”The Gate of Heaven?”
”Yes. We got a treasure map. And the Gate of Heaven turned out to be located in the Yin Valley!” Chi Xiao had to tell him the truth.
Zhua Qi was stunned and then giggled cunningly.
As he was giggling, the green miasma in the air began to float away from the group.
As the green miasma dispersed, the poisonous rain stopped as well.
The flying mud dragons returned back to mud and fell into the center of the swamp.
Hundreds of green loaches which were rushing up also stopped as they saw the mud dragons disappear. Under Zhua Qi's order, they went back under the mud as well.
Zhua Qi then stopped.
Chi Xiao was relieved as he stretched his hand up into the air and the curtain shrunk and fell into his palm.
The swamp returned back to serenity. Even the green bubbles gradually disappeared. The dangerous swamp suddenly became quiet.
”I know you also want to beat the Nine-headed Sky Snake.” Chi Xiao grunted and reproached in a rage, ”I bet you would have regretted it if you had stopped too late!”
As he was speaking, he looked at Xia Xinyan.
Chi Xiao could compete with Zhua Qi alone, and with Xia Xintan at the Sky Realm, Zhua Qi would have been in great trouble.
Zhua Qi looked towards Xia Xinyan as he noticed Chi Xiao's gaze, and frowned.
