Chapter 2271 - 2269: Venomous Crocodiles (Thirty-Ninth Update)

Chapter 2271: Chapter 2269: Venomous Crocodiles (Thirty-Ninth Update)

The black bubbles hadn’t arrived yet, but they exploded one after another in the air.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

The black bubbles exploded, splattering waves of black water onto the protective artifact of the elder wearing a crown.

Thick black smoke emanated from the protective artifact on his body.

Seeing that the black bubbles did not break his protective artifact, the elder finally relaxed his tension and continued to swiftly escape forward.

But just as he darted thirty zhang forward, a bizarre scene appeared. The black smoke on the protective artifact rapidly spread, covering the entire defense artifact, while a strong toxicity emanated from it, heading towards him.

Witnessing this scene, the elder with the crown was frightened out of his wits.

"Explode!" He was also ruthless and twisted his hands in a decision, immediately detonating the defense artifact.

Boom!

The next moment, a terrifying pressure surged around, first impacting the black bubbles shooting from the black lake. These bubbles were scattered by the violent force.

The elder didn’t dare waste time, took out another defense artifact to cover himself, slapped his chest hard with his right hand, spat out a mouthful of blood essence, twisted his hands in a decision, and lowly roared, "Swift!"

With his words, the speed of the Wind Escape Technique increased tenfold out of nowhere. His whole body flashed, turning into a hurricane, crossing several hundred zhang with unbelievable speed, and within a dozen flickers, he had already crossed the black lake and chose a cave to rush into.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

As the elder with the crown charged into a cave, the entire black lake seemed thoroughly enraged. The next moment, the water surface exploded entirely, rolling out countless black bubbles from it.

Terrifying waves carrying massive splashes filled the cave space, madly surging forward.

Just at this moment, the remaining group of True Spirits arrived from behind, but before they could react, the overwhelming black waves, carrying deadly poison, crashed towards them, emitting a strong corrosiveness that seemed capable of eroding everything.

"Not good! Everyone, go back quickly!"

"Damn it! That damned old geezer!"

"You old thing dare to trick this ancestor, you deserve death!"

Facing this sudden scene, the True Spirits turned pale, angrily roared, and unleashed their resources from their hands. By this point, even blood essence was being burnt; no one would hold back anymore, as their lives and ancient heritage were at stake, making them unwilling to give up easily or turn back.

Moreover, even if they wanted to turn back now, the thirty thousand puppet monkeys behind would not agree!

They all desperately deployed defensive means, covered themselves with powerful defense artifacts, and pasted numerous defensive Spirit Talismans on themselves, activating their Cultivation Techniques to the extreme to shield themselves tightly, with enraged eyes, charging forward fiercely.

Seeing the distance to the black waves shrink rapidly, these True Spirits exhibited formidable Divine Skills, creating overwhelming pressure to savagely strike the toxic waves and disperse them, making a desperate dash forward.

"Ah! Help! I don’t want to die!"

"Help, fellow Daoists..."

"I am so unwilling..."

The next moment, several unfortunate individuals were instantly devoured by the black waves, dropping into the black lake, leaving only angry roars above.

Those True Spirits who narrowly escaped were ecstatic, for they had already seen the cave entrance; the caves opposite were less than five hundred meters away, no more than a single breath, and they would be able to rush through. But at this moment, a mutation occurred once again.

The poisonous crocodiles hidden in the black lake suddenly leaped out, opening their bloodthirsty mouths to bite the airborne individuals.

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

The fastest group of True Spirits was directly bitten down by these powerful, sneak-attacking poisonous crocodiles.

In just one breath, nearly a thousand cultivators perished in the mouths of these poisonous crocodiles.

However, some fortunate cultivators successfully escaped, rushing into the caves behind the black lake.

It was truly like a stampede over a single-log bridge, each showcasing their Divine Skills, and those who were slightly slower in response were eaten by the poisonous crocodiles.

"Explode for me!" Suddenly, a cultivator at the Late Mahayana Stage roared.

Furious by the black bubbles and poisonous crocodiles, he directly detonated two Spiritual Treasures in his hands.

Boom! Boom!

The detonation of the two Spiritual Treasures unleashed terrifying power, sweeping indiscriminately around; weaker True Spirits were directly blasted into the black lake and devoured by it.

Taking advantage of the pressure from the explosion of the Spiritual Treasures, this Late Mahayana Stage cultivator, exerted all his might and quickly dashed forward.

In a blink, he darted into the cave behind.

"Damn it! They actually got in first!"

"Humph! Self-detonation? Who can’t do that?"

"I can self-detonate too!"

Seeing someone break through by self-detonating a Spiritual Treasure, the remaining True Spirits roared lowly.

The next moment, they each retrieved high-tier artifacts and self-detonated.

Boom, boom, boom...

Under their control, the pressure from the self-detonation of these artifacts rushed towards the black lake and the poisonous crocodiles, opening a path instantly with artifacts, then activating Escape Skills one after another into the caves.

Hundreds of caves, each choosing the nearest cave to rush into.

However, there were still one or two hundred unfortunates, reacting slowly, with slow Escape Skills, and lacking powerful artifacts, who were directly devoured by the poisonous crocodiles in the black lake, without even a ripple.

Dozens of breaths later.

The scene atop the black lake thoroughly quieted down; aside from the unlucky thousand True Spirits, the rest essentially rushed into these hundred caves.
