The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 392
Chapter 392 Enter The Everglades
Both sides chased after each other and fled. Their speed was extremely fast as they flew across the horizon. In less than half a day, they had already flown several thousand miles.
Boom!
In the distance, a terrifying aura suddenly rose. Another Void Realm expert arrived and surrounded him.
Li Qing’s expression changed as he complained to himself. He immediately changed directions and flew in another direction.
The situation became more and more critical as the two Void Realm experts chased after Li Qing at the same time.
“If there’s another one, then I’ll be dead for sure!” Li Qing realized that this couldn’t go on. He had to think of a way to get rid of these pursuers!
However, the latter two were both Void Realm experts. They possessed a wide range of divine sense, and their tracking abilities were first-rate. It was impossible for them to get rid of them. Although his speed was a little faster than theirs, the two of them still had a way to catch up with him.
After a while, a huge swamp appeared beneath Li Qing.
“This is the Eastern Region Everglades!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “I didn’t expect that I would return to this place!”
Feeling the terrifying aura in the depths of the Everglades, Li Qing’s heart flashed. He thought of a way to enter the Everglades!
If they entered the Everglade, those Void Realm experts might not dare to risk their lives. Moreover, Li Qing could rely on the dangerous place inside to get rid of them.
Of course, he could temporarily get rid of the pursuers, but there was a serious problem. How could he escape from the Everglades?
There were many dangers in the Everglades, and even Void Realm experts were afraid of them. Could he survive in the Everglades?
Not to mention that if the people of the world knew that they had entered the Everglades, they would definitely surround this place heavily, and it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens if they wanted to escape.
If he didn’t enter, he would die. If he entered, he would die. How should he choose?
Li Qing gritted his teeth and said, “Go all out! At worst, if I stay in the Everglades for ten or eight years, I don’t believe I can’t escape!”
It was extremely difficult to surround the Everglades. This was because this place was too large, covering a radius of several thousand kilometers. It would take a large number of people to surround it.
Moreover, ordinary people were simply unable to stop Li Qing, and they could not even discover Li Qing’s tracks. If they wanted to escape, they would definitely have a chance.
What he feared the most was Void Realm experts. Those at that level possessed divine sense, and their search range was extremely large. Moreover, they had many methods, so it was hard to guarantee that they would have any methods to force him to hide.
However, the problem was that Void Realm experts could not trap the Everglades for a long time. Sooner or later, they would have to leave. Li Qing did not believe that they could consume him.
Thinking of this, Li Qing immediately made a decision and rushed into the Everglades.
In the Everglades, there was a jade green gas everywhere, covering a radius of several thousand kilometers. There was not a single ray of sunlight all year round.
Eerie, strange, rotten aura!
This green gas was a kind of poisonous corpse gas. It was produced after countless corpses rotted and fermented in the Graveyard of the Corpse God. It was extremely lethal and could instantly corrode and rot the human body.
Only Xiantian experts were able to block this kind of gas, relying on their True Essence Shields to isolate the gas. However, Xiantian experts could not stay here for long, because the green corpse energy would also slowly corrode the protective true essence, and they would not be able to hold on for a long time.
Li Qing, on the other hand, wasn’t afraid of this poisonous gas. Let alone his True Essence, which was extremely condensed and of extremely high quality, the Corpse Qi might not be able to corrode it. Moreover, he still had two spirit artifacts, precious armor, and his defense was extremely strong, so what was there to be afraid of?
He propped up the True Essence Light Shield, entered the boundless green mist, and disappeared.
Li Qing felt extremely disgusted when he stepped on the muddy swamp. The ground was filled with rotten mud, covered with a thick layer of rotting dead leaves, and even the corpses of animals.
The ground was very muddy, dark and humid, and one could sink into it if one wasn’t careful. Of course, Xiantian experts didn’t need to worry about this. Li Qing could walk on the surface of the water with a stretch of True Essence under his feet, let alone walk on the swamp. There was no problem at all.
Gradually, he walked deeper into the swamp. Being in the thick green mist, Li Qing discovered that his divine sense had been suppressed! It could only extend for about ten meters.
Not only was he not depressed when he discovered that his divine sense had been suppressed, he was also somewhat happy in his heart. This was because once Void Realm experts arrived here, their divine sense would also be suppressed.
In comparison, Void Realm experts suffered a much greater loss!
Moreover, he was in a rotting swamp, and the traces left behind by Li Qing would be covered by the poisonous gases and the rotting earth on the ground. This made it even more difficult for Void Realm experts to trace his traces.
…
The two Void Realm experts in the sky had ugly expressions when they saw Li Qing enter the Everglade.
This place was a famous Jedi. There were countless dangers inside, and even Void Realm experts were unwilling to enter!
More importantly, there was a Graveyard of Corpse Gods in the center of the Everglades. There were countless terrifying existences buried there.
If the terrifying existence inside sensed that there were Void Realm experts entering the Everglades, they might provoke some supreme existence and kill them.
“This guy, are you going to die in the Everglades?” The two of them were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. From the looks of it, Li Qing clearly wanted to enter the depths of the swamp to avoid the pursuit of the Void Realm. If he was careless, he might die.
“He would rather die in the Everglades than at our hands!”
“Can you enter?” One of them asked.
‘”Come in! Why are you so afraid of death? With Li Qing’s strength, we can’t even enter the central region. At most, we can only wander around the periphery. Even if Li Qing dies inside, we still need to find his corpse and bring out his treasure!”
“However, the terrifying existence buried inside doesn’t seem to allow Void Realm experts to barge in and disturb them!” Someone said worriedly.
As a famous Jedi, the origin of the Corpse God Burial Ground was actually not mysterious. Many people in the Eastern Regions knew about this situation, and it was clearly recorded in the ancient books. There were no secrets hidden in it.
Naturally, they knew some of these rules. The terrifying existences sleeping inside would not allow experts above the Void Realm to enter and disturb them.
“As long as we are careful and don’t release a powerful aura, we shouldn’t attract the attention of the terrifying existences in the Graveyard of the Corpse God.” The black-robed Void Realm frowned.
How could they give up so easily after tracking them for so long and expending so much effort? Moreover, they were the first to discover Li Qing and had the most chance to obtain two Dao Artifacts. Of course, they would not give up so easily.
The two of them decided to discuss and flew down into the Everglades.
The dangers in the Everglades mainly came from two aspects. One was the harsh environment. For example, the green corpse gas surrounding the Everglades, various poisonous and sinister monsters in the swamp, and various magical creatures and poisonous weeds were scattered all over the swamp.
The second aspect was mainly the zombies.
Since this was the Graveyard of the Corpse God, how could there be no zombies? Fortunately, the zombies in the outer region were all weaker and were still within Li Qing’s tolerance.
However, in order to escape the pursuit of Void Realm experts, one had to go deeper into the Everglades. The zombies inside would not be so easy to deal with.
The more dangerous a place was, the more likely Li Qing was to escape the pursuit of the Void Realm, so he had to go deeper.
He continued into the depths of the Everglades. Not long after, he encountered trouble.
The mud in the swamp was flipping. Soon, dozens of extremely disgusting zombies crawled out from the mud underground. These zombies were all completely different. Their bodies were pitch black, their bodies were festering, and they could even see the dense white bones inside.
Even with Li Qing’s firm will, he almost spat out when he saw this scene. This kind of damn thing was too ugly. Its body was almost rotten, and rotten meat was connected piece by piece.
Such a festering body could actually exist in the world. It had to be said that the Corpse God Burial Ground was simply too miraculous, capable of recycling these rotten and ugly things.
Li Qing didn’t even want to get close to them. He pointed at them from afar and a purple light shot out, hitting a zombie and shattering it into a pile of rotten meat.
He repeatedly pointed out, shattering the zombies and quickly eliminating them. These zombies were very weak and their bodies were extremely fragile. How could they not withstand Li Qing’s attack?
Right at this moment, the swamp in front of him suddenly trembled violently. The rotten mud was like an open mouth, automatically cracking open, and a sarcophagus flew out from within.
“Corpse Demon!” Li Qing’s expression changed.
The so-called Corpse Demon meant that after the death of some experts, they were buried in a special place. After a long time, new spirits were born from the corpses and they became a completely new life form.
Unlike ordinary zombies, Corpse Demons were intelligent and capable of cultivating. They were the most special existences in the world.
He was neither a living being nor a dead person. He could barely be said to be something between life and death.
Entering the Everglades would inevitably encounter one or two Corpse Demons. This was unavoidable. Fortunately, the Corpse Demons weren’t very strong in the outer regions of the swamp, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been buried in this place.
Corpse Demons usually controlled a large group of zombies, which was their specialty. Along with the appearance of this sarcophagus, more than a dozen zombies crawled out.
These zombies looked much more complete than the ones before. They wore hard armor, and their bodies were as hard as iron.
In the Corpse Dao, these zombies were called “Iron Corpses” and were much more powerful than ordinary rotten corpses in the swamp.
Boom!
The sarcophagus opened and a figure flew out of it. Its face was thin and yellow, and its eyes were stiff and lifeless. Judging from its appearance, other than having no aura of life, it was not much different from ordinary people.
This was the Corpse Demon.
“Human, how dare you intrude into my burial ground? Today, I will refine you into a zombie!” The corpse demon’s dry voice rang out.
He stared fixedly at Li Qing, his stiff face revealing a trace of surprise, “What a perfect body! Perhaps he can refine a supreme golden corpse! Today’s luck is not bad!”
