This figure was surrounded by a thick, liquid-like magic mist, hanging over the mire. A pair of scarlet eyes penetrated the magic mist and looked toward the mire below.
A huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the swamp, and strange tentacles rushed out from it, rolling up to the figure from all directions.
"This strange beast in the dank swamp is really extraordinary. It actually forced me to use the devilish state!"
In the magic mist, the owner with scarlet eyes looked indifferently at the numerous tentacles below that were getting closer and closer.
The owner of the magic mist is Zhuo Wen. The moment he was dragged into the swamp by the tentacles, he entered the state of demon dyeing. His strength surged to the extreme, and he broke through the tentacles' siege in one fell swoop.
I saw two rays of magic flame suddenly shot out from his scarlet eyes, instantly igniting the tentacles below.
This demonic flame was so weird that it ignited the moment it touched the tentacles. The terrifying blood flames quickly spread and burned, burning the tentacles completely.
At the same time, the blood flames spread downward at an extremely fast speed, going deep into the depths of the swamp and covering the body of the strange beast in the tentacles.
"Die!"
Zhuo Wen took one step forward and swooped down. Like a huge meteorite, he suddenly fell downwards and rushed into the vortex in the center of the swamp.
From the depths of the mire, there were shocking sounds of beast roars and terrifying aftermath energy from the battle. The entire mire exploded into terrifying water columns, rising into the sky.
After an unknown amount of time, the movement in the quagmire finally calmed down a lot.
I saw a huge black shadow thrown out from the depths of the mire, and then landed heavily on the shore of the mire, smashing many trees on the shore to pieces.
The moment the huge black shadow appeared, a figure slowly stepped out of the depths of the mire and landed not far from the black shadow.
Zhuo Wen slowly exited the demon-dyed state, and the demonic mist around his body gradually disappeared, while his sharp eyes stared straight at the huge black shadow in front of him.
The black shadow in front of me is a strange beast that looks like an octopus. It is huge, up to a hundred feet long, especially the forehead in the center takes up two-thirds of the body.
At this moment, the huge forehead of this alien beast has been riddled with holes and is extremely charred. Dark blood spurts out continuously, making it look extremely miserable.
"This strange beast is quite interesting! It's quite powerful.
It’s ordinary, but the power of the soul is extremely terrifying!”
Zhuo Wen silently looked down at the dying big-headed beast in front of him and murmured to himself.
In fact, when he saw the Black Phoenix Flower, he already felt something was wrong, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Until he was sneak-attacked by Yang Zuo and three others, he knew that he had been tricked by this strange beast from the beginning.
This strange beast is not a fighting type, and its strength is not very strong, but its soul is extremely powerful, reaching a state where Taoism has no beginning.
Moreover, the spirit of this strange beast is not an attack type, but a control type.
In other words, this strange beast can control weaker creatures than it through its powerful soul and make these creatures act according to his orders.
Yang Zuo, Yu Hong and Xi Qiang were probably controlled by the powerful soul of this alien beast, so they suddenly attacked him.
And what surprised Zhuo Wen was that while the three of them were controlled by the alien beasts, their strength actually increased sharply for a short period of time, which quite surprised Zhuo Wen.
"I finally got the Black Phoenix Flower! The beast core in this strange beast should be of some use to my soul!"
Zhuo Wen's eyebrows flashed with purple gold light, and a divine soul sword intent suddenly slashed out, and the alien beast was immediately killed and destroyed on the spot.
Zhuo Wen raised his knife and cut open the huge forehead of the alien beast, taking out the beast core contained in it.
The core of this alien beast is not big, about half a palm, and has a hexagonal shape. It is crystal clear, as smooth and flawless as jade, and it also emits bursts of fluorescence.
What surprised Zhuo Wen was that at the core of this hexagonal crystal was a ball of silk that exuded golden light.
Although he didn't know what this silk ball was, he knew from the first moment he saw it that it would be of great benefit to his soul.
With his breakthrough in cultivation, his soul also reached around the peak of Tianfa Dao.
He had a feeling that if he absorbed the golden silk mass in the beast's core, he might be able to break through the shackles in one fell swoop, and his soul would be the first to reach the beginningless state of Taoism.
Zhuo Wen put away the black phoenix flower and the beast core. He planned to go to Liangyi City first, and then absorb the beast core to break through to the realm of the soul.
"Let's go find Yang Zuo and the other three first!"
Zhuo Wen waved his sleeves and summoned balls of flames. After burning the bodies of the alien beasts to ashes, they turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
Lost in place.
Although Zhuo Wen does not know the specific whereabouts of Yang Zuo and the other three, because the three of them were imprinted with souls by alien beasts, they retain the aura of the alien beasts' souls.
And he has the core of the alien beast in his hand, and he can sense the approximate location of the three of them just through the core.
On the outskirts of the Beast Forest, in an open space, three figures were sitting casually on the stones scattered on the ground.
These three people are two men and one woman respectively, they are Yang Zuo, Yu Hong and Xi Qiang.
"It's strange! Logically speaking, Brother Zhuo shouldn't be able to go far! We've been searching for so long, but why haven't we found any trace of him?" Yang Zuo scratched his head and said with a strange look on his face.
"Could it be that Brother Zhuo ran away on his own? After all, the dank mire is really too dangerous, so it's understandable that he left secretly!" Xi Qiang sighed.
Yuhong sighed and said: "It seems that Black Phoenix Flower still needs to rely on ourselves! Let's not go to Brother Zhuo. We will establish a garrison nearby and wait for the strange beasts in the dank mire to fall asleep again!
If we can’t find the Black Phoenix Flower this time, we will have no choice but to give up!”
"We have been out for too long this time. If we don't go back, I'm afraid the situation will change!"
Hearing this, Yang Zuo and Xi Qiang's expression suddenly became much darker.
The current situation of the Hongqiang Gang is not good, with internal and external troubles, and their gang leader is seriously injured.
If they don't go back for a long time, the Hongqiang Gang will be leaderless for a long time and will become chaotic.
Other hostile forces in Liangyi City may even take advantage of the situation and sneak in. This is not what they want to see.
Suddenly, there was a gentle sound of footsteps coming from the depths of the jungle, approaching them from a distance and approaching the clearing.
In an instant, Yang Zuo, Yu Hong and Xi Qiang suddenly stood up and looked behind them warily.
I saw a figure coming out of the bushes behind me after a loud sound.
The moment Yang Zuo, Yu Hong and Xi Qiang saw this figure, they were stunned for a moment, and then showed expressions of surprise.
"Brother Zhuo! You finally showed up, making it easy for us to find you!"
Yang Zuo hurriedly stepped forward, his face full of surprise.
Yuhong and Xiqiang also followed closely behind, looking at Zhuo Wen with the same joy.
