438 Exotic Odors Assail the Nostrils

What made the captain go crazy was the dense aura coming from the wound of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone, as well as the Immortal Qi that filled its entire body.

This body was indeed not made of flesh and blood, but of spiritual plants.

Although he did not know what kind of spiritual plant it was, it was obvious that Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy had spent a lot of energy on it to grow to such a huge size.

This body was a natural treasure.

But the danger was just as shocking.

The air around it began to twist and distort, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread out. A vast pressure filled the air, fusing with its aura to form a shockwave.

Under this invisible impact, all the surrounding rocks and plants were instantly reduced to ashes. Even the ground was corroded.

One could imagine how dangerous it would be to get close.

However, all of this could not stop the passion and madness in the captain’s eyes.

“Good stuff, good stuff! This isn’t a body of flesh and blood, this is the body of a spiritual plant, a heavenly treasure! Where did Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy get such a human-shaped spiritual plant!”

The captain became excited, Yanyan looked at him as if she had seen a ghost.

She felt that this person was not a lunatic, but a maniac who was playing with his life.

Although Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone was a good thing, Yanyan could feel her heart palpitate even though she was far away from it. Every inch of her skin and flesh seemed to be screaming at her to leave immediately.

There was no need to even talk about getting closer. The invisible ripples around the clone that was destroying the surroundings caused Yanyan’s mind to shake.

Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Xu Qing’s expression. She saw the light in Xu Qing’s eyes that was identical to the captain’s.

Yanyan was silent. In the next moment, she suddenly spoke.

“Brother Xu Qing, shall we have a bite?”

Xu Qing was moved.

Xu Qing’s madness was different from the captain’s.

To be precise, Xu Qing preferred to analyze the danger level. Although the captain also had this point, he would often ignore it.

To the captain, as long as the treasure was good enough, what was life?

Back then, he even dared to snatch a piece of Binding’s flesh, losing more than half of his body without any regrets.

He even took a bite of the Sea Corpse Race’s ancestral corpse statue just because he felt that he hadn’t gotten enough excitement.

Also, in the Starfish Island, even though he only had his head left, he still asked Xu Qing to throw him over just to take a bite out of Bai Li’s fragrant body.

At this moment, there was nothing else in the captain’s eyes. Danger and pressure were not important. What was important was… the treasure was right in front of him!

However, Xu Qing was different.

He could tell that Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s clone was extraordinary. He also sensed that it was indeed not a body of flesh and blood, but a transformation of a spiritual plant.

This kind of heavenly treasure was extremely helpful to his cultivation, so he was tempted.

Now that Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy was being surrounded by three Sword Holders, this was an opportunity.

That was why his eyes were filled with madness. He wanted to give it a try.

The only thing he had to consider was that the body was the clone of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy after all. The pressure from it even made his heart skip a beat. He felt that everything in his body was suppressed and he instinctively wanted to retreat.

He could well imagine that it would be quite difficult to get close to that clone. Hence, Xu Qing looked at the captain.

The captain also looked at Xu Qing.

The two of them saw the fervent light in each other’s eyes.

“A magic artifact that can resist the pressure!” Xu Qing quickly spoke.

“I have!” The captain’s breathing was hurried. He quickly took out a large number of magic artifacts that could resist the pressure. There were about 20 or so of them.

Xu Qing was a little surprised why the captain had prepared these.

“I prepared these before we came to the Yinghuang Province. Originally, I wanted to go to the Flame Phoenix’s nest to get something. I thought that the pressure there would definitely be very great. It’s a pity that we came to the Yinghuang Province, so I could only let the Flame Phoenix off for now.”

“It can’t be considered a waste to use them here now, but Xu Qing, you have to reimburse me. I have no money left.” The captain quickly spoke and distributed these magic artifacts to Xu Qing.

This matter was too dangerous and it was difficult for Yanyan’s cultivation base to support it. Hence, after Xu Qing discussed it with the captain, he didn’t let Yanyan participate.

Very soon, after the two of them were ready, they gritted their teeth fiercely and rushed out amidst Yanyan’s shock, heading straight for the location of the clone.

They instantly flew hundreds of feet away.

As they got closer, the pressure from the clone also became extremely intense.

The void in the surroundings seemed to have frozen. The aura from the clone and the invisible impact spread in all directions disorderly like an avalanche.

Xu Qing and the captain bore the brunt of the pressure and experienced it deeply. Their faces were pale and blood flowed from the corner of their mouths. All the magic artifacts that they had brought to resist the pressure were also fully activated.

Even so, the pressure was still too great.

In fact, one could even see that the space around the clone was becoming increasingly distorted. Moreover, black lightning appeared because of the invisible overlapping of space.

It was a shocking sight that made one instinctively feel fear.

However, Xu Qing and the captain didn’t have any thoughts of giving up. The two of them lay on the ground and quickly crawled forward.

After all, it was easier to get hit by the lightning that was forming around them if they stood up. It was better to lie on the ground and get closer more conveniently.

This matter didn’t require communication. It was an instinctive action of the two of them.

Just like that, time flowed by. The battle in the sky continued and rumbling sounds spread throughout the area. Xu Qing and the captain were constantly nearing the clone.

The pressure descended on them, the clone’s aura sent shockwaves, and lightning exploded, but none of it could stop them.

As they got closer, their magic artifacts couldn’t withstand the pressure anymore and began to collapse one by one.

No matter how much the captain prepared, it was still not enough. This was especially so after they got close to the thousand-foot-range. The pressure here became even more intense, forming a huge resistance. There was even a faint repulsive force.

It was as though countless hands were pushing them out with all their might.

Xu Qing and the captain’s bodies trembled. Hence, they took out the cloth strips they had taken from Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s cave abode.

The appearance of these cloth strips caused the pressure on the two of them to dissipate a little. However, the resistance still existed and couldn’t be dispelled.

Moreover, the closer they got, the greater the resistance and repulsion. However, they gritted their teeth and slowly crawled forward.

A moment later, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he looked in another direction.

The captain also sensed it at the same time and looked over.

At the next instant, the captain’s eyes revealed the sharpness of a wild dog protecting its food. Xu Qing instantly became vigilant.

At the place they were looking at, there was another figure on the ground which was also slowly crawling toward the clone of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy.

This person wore a red robe and their long hair was tied into a ponytail. They wore a white mask and looking at their figure, they should be a woman.

However, her weapon was extremely exaggerated. It was a huge evil ghost scythe.

The head of this scythe was a malevolent ghost with a scythe blade in its mouth. As for the handle of the scythe, it was a black bone.

This strange weapon emitted terrifying energy. It was emitting a light that enveloped the woman’s entire body, allowing her to resist the pressure here.

When Xu Qing and the captain saw her, the woman in red also saw them.

The two sides were thousands of feet apart. They lay on the ground and looked at each other.

“Strange. Someone actually came to snatch our things!” The captain’s gaze was unfriendly. Xu Qing didn’t say anything and looked over coldly.

The beautiful brows under the mask of the red-clothed woman in the distance furrowed slightly as she quickly swept her gaze across Xu Qing and the captain. This was especially so when she saw the cloth strips on their bodies. She immediately realized that they were the ones who had beaten her to it and plundered the cave abode. As such, her gaze turned cold.

The three of them stared at each other for a moment before retracting their gazes and continuing forward. However, their speed increased.

The captain’s eyes were filled with ferocity as he rapidly moved forward. Xu Qing was the same, and so was the woman.

However, as they entered a thousand feet, there were even more lightning bolts here. The space distorted frequently and the pressure was the same. However, under Xu Qing and the captain’s magic artifacts and cloth strips, these weren’t the main points that affected their speed.

The main point was that the aura of the clone transformed into a huge resistance and repulsive force in this area.

This repulsion was too strong. As long as they relaxed a little, their bodies would be instantly pushed far away.

This repulsion and resistance were like a storm blowing in front of them, causing Xu Qing and the captain’s clothes to flutter. Their hair also fluttered and they couldn’t open their eyes completely.

They had no choice but to slow down.

As for the woman in the distance, her weapon was extremely strange. Under the protection of her weapon, the red-clothed woman’s speed didn’t decrease. At this moment, she was only 400 feet away from touching the head of the clone.

The captain was anxious. He directly bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood. A sleeping face instantly appeared in his pupils. This face was exactly the same as his appearance but it was filled with evilness.

The captain’s aura also changed at this moment. As it became colder and colder, his speed soared. He instantly passed Xu Qing and was less than 300 feet away from the clone.

As for Xu Qing, he was still 500 feet away.

He narrowed his eyes and sent a thought to the shadow. Immediately, the shadow concealed itself and rapidly spread out in front of Xu Qing.

The pressure here didn’t seem to be much. After all, even in the mural world of the merfolk temple that was filled with terrifying pressure, the shadow was able to take out the lantern for Xu Qing.

Compared to that place, the clone’s pressure was lacking by a huge degree.

Very soon, the shadow crossed 500 feet and touched the huge clone of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy. After it wrapped around its ears, it suddenly tugged at Xu Qing.

In that instant, coupled with Xu Qing’s own speed, no matter how great the resistance was, Xu Qing was pulled toward the head of the clone.

400 feet, 300 feet, 200 feet, 100 feet…

He directly surpassed the captain and the red-clothed girl in the distance. Finally, he arrived before the neck of the clone!

When he arrived, Xu Qing showed no pettiness. He directly grabbed at the captain who was more than 100 feet away.

With his help, the captain’s speed also skyrocketed as he rapidly approached. Very soon, he arrived beside Xu Qing. His eyes were shining as he stared fixedly at the skin of the clone’s face.

“Nose, nose, absorb the nose. The nose is the highest point and also the place where spirituality gathers!”

Xu Qing looked at the tall nose of the clone.

He suddenly thought of Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy who had appeared above the Seven Blood Eyes’ territory. At that time, she looked at herself in the mirror and seemed to be very satisfied with her nose.

Hence, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate and rushed toward the clone’s nose.

The captain’s eyes revealed fanaticism as he rushed over as well.
