. The Dou Qi Continent has existed for who knows how many years. Even the Eight Ancient Clans could not resist the passage of time and declined, let alone ordinary sects.
The sect that now appeared before Mo Tang and the other two was once a top sect, possessing its own sect space. While not comparable to those of Dou Sheng, it appeared to be quite large and imbued with a rich celestial energy. Although
the sect was now dilapidated, a number of spiritual plants flourished within the space. Even the seemingly weedy plants by the roadside radiated a faint flow of energy.
Unfortunately, the energy levels of these spiritual plants were too low to meet Mo Tang's requirements, so he had no choice but to abandon them.
"If this space doesn't collapse in another thousand or two thousand years, perhaps a large number of precious spiritual medicines will appear here..."
Judging by the dilapidated state of the space, it wasn't certain it could survive for so many more years.
As the three of them advanced deeper, Mo Tang expected to see even more spiritual plants, but as the surroundings grew increasingly desolate, their hearts sank.
"Be careful! I can sense the pervasive aura of death!"
Mo Tang, having cultivated the Netherworld Death Seal, was extremely sensitive to this dark, deathly aura. Though it wasn't immediately noticeable, it had already set him on high alert.
The two women nodded slightly, then released their spiritual energy, constantly scanning their surroundings.
After advancing a few hundred meters, a thick fog suddenly rose around them...
This change startled them all.
The moment they were enveloped by the fog, they could sense countless sinister forces attempting to penetrate their flesh.
"Something strange, be careful!"
Mo Tang had barely finished speaking when a sudden, air-breaking sound echoed from all around him, startling him.
"What is that?"
Mo Tang stared intently at his minimap, his spiritual energy also expanding, but he detected nothing.
Nearby, Little Medical Fairy and Queen Medusa frowned, trying to detect the true form of the voice...
"Why isn't it showing..."
Mo Tang's brows knitted together as he stared at the unresponsive minimap.
This was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. Could the map in his system also be malfunctioning?
In that moment of distraction, a dark figure flashed from the mist and lunged towards him...
"Be careful!"
Queen Medusa, who had first spotted it, warned, ready to attack.
But Mo Tang's reaction wasn't slow either, and he instinctively threw a punch.
BANG!
The shadow was sent flying again, disappearing into the thick fog.
"Be aware of your surroundings!"
The moment he made contact with the shadow, his minimap seemed to regain its functionality. In an instant, dozens of red dots appeared on it, faintly surrounding the three of them.
"What on earth is this?" Mo Tang's brows raised in surprise
as he looked at the description on the minimap: Soul-Eating Corpse, a living being transformed by the aura of absolute Yin . It moves at
breakneck speed, feeding on the souls of living beings... "It's actually this thing? It must be a strange entity somewhere between life and death. No wonder it wasn't shown on the minimap before." The minimap only shows living things, like humans and monsters, but doesn't show inanimate objects like stone corpses. This soul-eating corpse is somewhere between life and death, so before Mo Tang could actually make contact with it, the minimap simply treated it as inanimate. "Your intelligence is too low!" Mo Tang thought to himself, and then he relaxed. Although this thing looked menacing, it wasn't difficult for someone of Mo Tang's or his strength to deal with it. The only thing they had to be wary of now was the intense Yin energy constantly trying to invade their bodies... Even Dou Huang or Dou Zong-level warriors would be uneasy if they were to be possessed by such a thing. After Mo Tang's warning, the two women noticed dozens of dark shadows rapidly approaching them from the fog... Their speed was so extreme that even ordinary Dou Wang-level warriors could barely make out their silhouettes. At this moment, Mo Tang's voice rang out again: "These are Infernal corpses. They're extremely fast. Just be careful not to get hurt by their venomous claws." As he spoke, Mo Tang's feet flashed with lightning, and he immediately arrived at the side of an Infernal corpse. Then, with a lightning-charged punch, he smashed the corpse's shrunken head... "Ah!" A sharp soul-screaming sound followed, and the corpse's body turned to ash. The soul trapped within it quickly dissipated. "That's it, just smash their heads!" The two women nodded simultaneously. However, they had just seen the Infernal corpse's true appearance... well, it was awful.
Faced with such an ugly and disgusting creature, the two women wouldn't resort to punching it directly like Mo Tang did.
Queen Medusa waved her hand, and a rainbow-colored stream transformed into a giant python, slamming fiercely into an Infernal corpse...
bang!
With a resounding bang, the corpse's entire body shattered, dissolving into ash...
Mo Tang: "...!"
Watching the rainbow-colored python continue its assault on the next one, Mo Tang was speechless.
Nearby, Xiao Yixian, seemingly intent on challenging Queen Medusa, similarly unleashed a stream of purplish-gray poisonous gas, similarly swirling and shattering the incoming Infernal corpses.
Seeing this, Mo Tang fortunately stopped and watched the two women's duel from the side.
After more than half an hour, countless Infernal corpses had been slain by the two women, the dark shadow that had been surging from the mist finally vanished.
This brought a sigh of relief to Mo Tang and the other two.
The continuous battle had taken a heavy toll on the two women.
"Okay, let's continue looking for the baby soul flower."
The three of them continued on their way, but they were more careful the next time they moved forward.
I don't know if it was because of the Yin corpses, but there were no other dangerous things in the foggy area at this time.
In this way, the three of them finally arrived at their destination.
In front of Mo Tang and the other two was a small altar about ten feet wide. There were strange lines carved on the altar, forming a formation-like existence.
In the center of the altar, a small black and white flower that looked like a human face was waving in the wind along with the fast-flowing vortex of Yin Qi...
"It's really a baby soul flower!"
But from the looks of it, this is still a superb baby soul flower that has been growing for who knows how many years. Its value is probably inestimable!
