Chapter 4748

This figure was shrouded in a thick, liquid-like demonic fog. It hovered above the swamp, its scarlet eyes piercing through the demonic fog and looking down at the swamp below.

In the middle of the swamp, a huge whirlpool appeared, and strange tentacles rushed out from it, rolling towards the figure in the sky from all directions.

"This muddy beast is really not simple. It actually forced me to use the Demonic Taint state!"

In the demonic fog, the owner of the scarlet eyes looked coldly at the approaching tentacles below.

The owner of the demonic fog was Zhuowen. The moment he was swept into the swamp by the tentacles, he entered the Demonic Taint state. His strength soared to the extreme, breaking through the encirclement of the tentacles in one fell swoop.

Two streams of demonic flames suddenly shot out from his scarlet eyes, instantly igniting the tentacles below.

The demonic flames were really too strange. The moment they came into contact with the tentacles, they ignited. The terrifying bloody flames quickly spread and burned the tentacles to ashes.

At the same time, the bloody flames spread downward at an extremely fast speed, deep into the swamp, and covered the body of the exotic beast that was under the tentacles.

"Die!"

Zhuowen took a step forward and swooped down. Like a huge meteorite, he suddenly fell down and rushed into the whirlpool at the center of the swamp.

From the depths of the swamp came the roars of beasts as well as the terrifying shockwaves from the battle. The entire swamp exploded with terrifying water pillars that soared into the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, the movements in the swamp finally calmed down a lot.

A huge black shadow was thrown out from the depths of the swamp, and then landed heavily on the shore of the swamp, smashing many trees on the shore to smithereens.

The moment the huge black shadow appeared, a figure slowly stepped out from the depths of the swamp and landed not far away from the black shadow.

Zhuowen slowly exited the Demonic Taint state, and the demonic fog around him gradually receded. His sharp eyes stared straight at the huge black shadow in front of him.

The black shadow in front of him was an exotic beast that looked like an octopus. Its body was huge, at least a hundred meters long, and its head in the middle took up two-thirds of its body.

At this moment, the exotic beast's huge head was burned full of holes. It was incomparably charred, and pitch-black blood kept spurting out. It looked extremely miserable.

"This exotic beast is quite interesting!

His strength is ordinary, but the strength of his spirit is terrifying to the extreme! "

Zhuowen muttered to himself as he looked down at the dying exotic beast in front of him.

In fact, when he saw the Black Phoenix Flower, he already felt that something was wrong, but he didn't care too much.

When he was ambushed by Yang Zuo and the other two, he knew that he had been tricked by this strange beast from the very beginning.

This strange beast was not a battle-type creature. Its strength was not very strong, but its spirit was extremely powerful, reaching the level of Dao technique without beginning.

Furthermore, this strange beast's divine soul wasn't of the offensive type, but of the control type.

In other words, this strange beast could use its powerful soul to control creatures that were weaker than it and make them do as it wished.

Yang Zuo, Yu Hong, and Xi Qiang should have been controlled by this strange beast's powerful soul, which was why they suddenly attacked him.

What surprised Zhuowen the most was that while the three of them were under the control of the exotic beast, their strength actually increased greatly for a short period of time. This surprised Zhuowen quite a bit.

"The Black Phoenix Flower is finally in my hands!

But the beast core inside this strange beast should have some use for my spirit! "

Purple-gold light flickered between Zhuowen's brows. A spirit sword intent suddenly slashed out horizontally, and the strange beast was instantly killed on the spot.

Zhuowen raised the knife in his hand and cut open the strange beast's enormous head, taking out the beast core hidden inside.

This strange beast core wasn't big, about half a palm or so. Its shape was hexagonal, sparkling and translucent, as smooth and flawless as unpolished jade, and even emitted waves of fluorescent light.

What surprised Zhuowen was that at the core of this hexagonal crystal was a ball of silk emitting golden light.

Although he didn't know what this ball of silk was, from the first time he saw it, he knew that this thing was extremely beneficial to his spirit.

His spirit also reached around the peak of Heaven Law Dao along with his cultivation breakthrough.

He had a feeling that if he absorbed the golden ball of silk in this beast core, he might be able to break through the shackles in one fell swoop, and his spirit would be the first to reach the State of No Beginning.

Zhuowen put away the Black Phoenix Flower and beast core. He planned to go to Yin and Yang City first, then absorb the beast core to break through to the State of No Beginning.

"Let's go find Yang Zuo and the other two first!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhuowen summoned balls of flames. After burning the strange beast's corpse to ashes, he turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the spot.

Although Zhuowen didn't know the exact whereabouts of Yang Zuo and the other two, because the strange beast had planted a spirit mark on them, the strange beast's spirit aura still remained.

And he had the beast core in his hand. As long as he could sense their approximate location through the beast core, he would be able to sense their approximate location.

On the outskirts of Hundred Beasts Forest, in an open space, three figures sat casually on stones scattered on the ground.

These three were two men and one woman. They were Yang Zuo, Yu Hong, and Xi Qiang.

"Strange!

Logically speaking, Big Brother Zhuo shouldn't have gone far!

We've searched for so long, but why haven't we found any trace of him? "

Yang Zuo scratched his head and said with a strange expression.

"Could it be that Big Brother Zhuo left by himself?

After all, the damp swamp is really too dangerous. It's understandable that he secretly left! "

Xi Qiang sighed.

Yu Hong sighed and said, "It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves to find the Black Phoenix Flower!

Let's not go find Big Brother Zhuo. We'll set up a camp nearby and wait for the strange beast in the damp swamp to fall asleep again!

If we can't find the Black Phoenix Flower this time, we can only give up! "

"We've 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 expressions immediately darkened.

The Great Rose Gang's current situation wasn't good. They were in a state of internal and external troubles, and their gang leader was in a heavily injured state.

If they didn't go back, the Great Rose Gang would be leaderless for a long time, and it would become chaotic.

The other hostile forces in Yin and Yang City might take advantage of this situation to invade. This wasn't something they wanted to see.

Suddenly, a series of gentle footsteps came from the depths of the dense forest. It was currently approaching from far away, walking towards the open space where they were.

Instantly, Yang Zuo, Yu Hong, and Xi Qiang, the three people, stood up abruptly and looked behind vigilantly.

Only to see a series of rustling sounds emit from the shrubbery behind them. A figure walked out from inside.

The instant Yang Zuo, Yu Hong, and Xi Qiang saw this figure, they were first stunned, and then they revealed looks of pleasant surprise.

"Big Brother Zhuo!

You finally showed up! You made us look for you so hard! "

Yang Zuo hurriedly walked up and said with a face full of pleasant surprise.

Yu Hong and Xi Qiang, the two people, similarly followed closely behind, looking at Zhuowen with delight.
