The other swamps were all the same black, but the swamp behind him was colorful. From a distance, it looked like a natural dye vat. The key point was that this was not an ordinary dye vat, but a boiling one with bubbles that could distort space.
Lin Yi couldn't help but frown as he smelled the pungent and dizzying smell. He thought that this place would be covered in miasma before the teleportation, but it wasn 't. Instead, it was a strange swamp.
"Senior, what is this place?" Lin Yi covered his nose and asked curiously. There must be something wrong with this. He had been on alert for the past month, and his instinct told him that there was something wrong with this swamp.
"This is the five poisons swamp." The ghastly thing replied.
"Poisonous?" Lin Yi was surprised-it was normal for this swamp to have poison, but Lin Yi didn't just notice the appearance-there was a more important feature."But the spiritual energy in this place seems to be very abundant?"
The first impression Lin Yi had of the five poisons swamp was that it was ugly, but if he looked closely, he'd realize that the Qi here was so dense it'd make his hair stand on end. Sky Class Island had plenty of places with Qi, but it was rare to see one this dense. Lin Yi had never seen one in a natural environment before.
Almost every bubble that came out of the swamp contained extremely rich heaven and earth spiritual energy. Of course, it was not just heaven and earth spiritual energy, but also some other poisonous gases. Otherwise, it would not live up to the name of the five poisons swamp.
"Yes, the spiritual Qi here is indeed very rich. In the entire southern island, there are only a few places with a higher concentration of spiritual Qi. If it wasn't for the fact that this place is too dangerous, I'm sure there would be a lot of spiritual beasts coming here to suck up the spiritual Qi. They might even fight to occupy this place and cause blood to flow like a river." The ghastly thing said.
"This place is very dangerous?" Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. The smell was a little bad, but it shouldn't be too bad if it was just poisonous. Many spirit beasts were very talented, and some even had an innate immunity to poison. They wouldn't be scared off just because of a little poisonous gas, would they?
"Hehe, kid, don't underestimate this five poison swamp. Its poison isn't the kind of poison that ordinary people know. The reason it's called the five poisons is that this swamp naturally contains the power of the five elements. Basically, spirit beasts and human cultivators who don't get close will be attacked by it. The five elements kill each other. Entering it will only result in death. No matter how immune you are to poison, it's useless." The ghastly thing explained.
"I see." Lin Yi finally understood, but he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. No matter how rare the five poisons swamp was, it had nothing to do with him. Now that he'd survived, the thing he wanted to do the most was to get back to the Yu Luo Sea area and go back to the North Island.
"After passing through this forest, you'll reach the crescent ocean. As for how to get to the Crescent City, you'll have to figure it out yourself." The demonic thing knew that Lin Yi was eager to return home, so it smiled and pointed out.
“OK!!!”Lin Yi was overjoyed. He didn't look at the five poisons swamp anymore and used his super butterfly microstep to cross the forest. As expected, he saw the vast sea after a short while.
It was a blur under the sea fog, but Lin Yi's mood was great. If he wasn't afraid of attracting the spirit beasts, he would've yelled out to relieve the pressure. After all, he had been under a lot of pressure for the past month, and he finally escaped.
According to what the thing said, the crescent sea was right in front of them, but Lin Yi was still standing on the cliff of the southern island. There was no way he could get a ride. No ship would dare to get so close to the southern island, not even the Overlord of the escort agency in the southern continent. The only way for Lin Yi to leave this place was to go into the sea.
Going into the sea was risky-if he was unlucky, he might run into some scary sea beast like the ghost Stingray, but it was nothing compared to what he'd been through this month.
Without any hesitation, Lin Yi decided on the direction and wrapped his body in pure Qi before jumping into the sea. It wasn't realistic to swim back to Dark Arc city, but jumping was the first step to leaving the southern island. Only after pulling a certain distance away would he have a chance to board a lucky boat.
Other people would be scared of jumping into the sea, but Lin Yi was confident. As long as he didn't run into a troublesome sea beast, he could stay in the sea for a month with his abilities. As long as he didn't go in the wrong direction, he could swim Back to Black arc city.
From the time he was chased by the old sect of the West Mountain to the time he accidentally barged into the spirit beast meet, Lin Yi's luck had been extremely bad. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he'd get water stuck in his teeth if he drank it, but now that a month had passed, his bad luck was finally no longer as bad.
After about twenty miles away from the southern island, Lin Yi found a passenger ship, and it just so happened to be heading towards black arc city. After paying a hundred spirit Jade, he finally managed to board the ship.
Returning to the black arc dock, Lin Yi couldn't help but let out a long breath as he looked at the familiar scene. He was really lucky to be able to come back alive.
Now that he thought about it, even Lin Yi himself felt that it was a little unbelievable. The pursuit of West Mountain old sect, mistakenly entering the spirit beast meet, crossing the two big areas of the southern island-any one of these things would've killed him, but Lin Yi made it through it without losing an arm or a leg-it was really a good ending after all the suffering.
Other than the increase in human traffic and the increased business at the port, everything in the city seemed normal. There wasn't much difference from before, which was out of Lin Yi's expectations.
After all, at the spirit beast meet a month ago, the Vermilion Bird had publicly announced the strategy to impose taxes on all the cities in the South continent's Sea area. Moreover, the selection of the city Lord had been decided. It was unexpected that a month had passed and they had not started to take action yet.
However, on second thought, the peaceful zone was in charge of the moleng Sea area, and the Vermillion Bird had appointed him as the city Lord of the moleng city. Perhaps the moleng city had already taken action, but it had not yet affected the dark Arc Sea area.
No matter what, this didn't have much to do with Lin Yi. This was a matter between the spirit beast clan and the South continent sea. If a large-scale conflict were to occur, it wouldn't be settled by one or two people.
Not to mention Lin Yi, even someone like the West Mountain old sect was far from enough! (To be continued.)
