It worked!
A hint of joy appeared on Ren Qi’s face.
It seemed that it was really as what Elise had said. The attack method of these black trees was a soul attack, and it was also a method that could cause damage to the soul.
“Using a soul attack method can produce an effect on these black trees,”Ren Qi looked at Zhao Yuheng and the others beside her and said.
Zhao yuheng said, “My troops don’t have any soul attacks.”
Xuan Ming frowned and said, “I don’t have any soul attacks either. I can only rely on you guys.”
Luo Ming smiled and said, “I do. I just developed a cannon that can attack souls. I didn’t expect it to come in handy so soon.”
As he said this, Luo Ming made his move and brought the newly developed cannon toward the black trees in front of him.
These cannonballs exploded in front of the black trees. They emitted a huge soul impact like a tsunami, instantly enveloping a large area of the black trees in front of them.
“Bang!”
The black trees that were still unmoving against the attack earlier were instantly shattered into pieces. A large number of black tree fragments scattered on the ground, directly covering the swamp below.
“I also have troops here that target souls,”Tianji Zi said. After which, he let a few illusionary wizards behind him walk out.
These wizards were all attacking souls. Moreover, their abilities were very simple. They could only cause damage to souls. Usually, they did not have many opportunities to attack.
These wizards began to chant their spells at this moment. Streams of soul power began to gather in front of them.
These soul powers gathered in mid-air, turning into sharp spears.
Then, these spears rapidly flew towards the black trees in front of them.
* Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang! * !
Following a series of crisp sounds, these spears pierced through the black trees, entered them, and then disappeared.
Following that, the black trees that were hit by these spears began to wither, and the pitch-black viscous liquid on their bodies also quickly dissipated.
Soon, the black trees turned into black liquid and merged into the swamp below.
At this moment, Elise was still holding the dragon pool sword in his hand and continuously hacking at the black trees in front of him.
A large number of black trees were directly cut off, clearing the area in front of him.
The black viscous liquid on the black trees seemed to have sensed something, and it fell off the black trees one after another, quickly merging into the swamp below and disappearing.
Ren Qi frowned slightly when he saw this.
His intuition told him that this black sticky liquid was definitely not simple.
From just now, this black sticky liquid had been appearing all the time.
At the beginning, the Buddha statues were also covered in mud, but it didn’t seem to have any effect.
The black mud that the black rhinoceros spewed out had an extremely strong corrosive property.
When they reached the area of the gray flood dragon, the black flood dragon spewed out a thick black liquid. It was as if the black mud had been purified.
The corrosive nature of the black liquid spewed out from the gray flood dragon’s mouth was much stronger than the previous thick mud. Even Little Black’s scales could not defend against it.
When they finally reached this place, although the black trees did not have any offensive abilities, the thick black liquid on their bodies could actually connect to form a net. Moreover, it could even unleash soul attacks.
What exactly was this strange thing?
Why was there such a strange thing guarding this secret stash?
Ren Qi’s heart was currently filled with doubts, but she could only wait until she finally found the secret stash before she would be able to find out.
With a way to deal with it, the black trees in front of them were no longer a great threat.
Soon, a large portion of the black trees in front of them had been cleared away.
The remaining ones were no longer covered by the black viscous liquid. It was as though they had completely lost the strange power from before.
Even when the Undying Blood Phoenix approached, it did not react in any way.
At this moment, the remaining black trees quickly submerged into the swamp. They were just like the Buddha statues that rose from the swamp and quickly returned to the swamp.
Ren Qi saw this and hurriedly said, “Cut some of these trees off.”
Although he didn’t know what these trees and the Buddha statue were, Ren Qi believed that there was a great connection between the two.
Since they appeared to stop them, there was no need to let them escape unscathed.
If they wanted to leave, then let them stay!
When the others heard Ren Qi’s words, although they did not know why Ren Qi and the rest of them wanted to do this, they still ordered their troops to take action.
In an instant, more than half of the black trees in front of them had been cut off, while the remaining ones had all sunk into the swamp below.
The surrounding troops had also collected the black tree branches and leaves that had been cut off.
Ren Qi brought Zhao Yuheng and the others forward. When they saw the black tree branches and leaves that had become ordinary, their eyes flickered.
Ren Qi picked up a black tree branch and held it in her hand to carefully examine it.
On the surface, these black tree branches and leaves did not seem to have any problems. They were exactly the same as ordinary tree branches and leaves, only the color was a little dark and deep.
However, one could still feel a faint spiritual power from the leaves and branches of these black trees.
This spiritual power was very strange. It gave people a feeling that it was evil and even disgusting.
It was just like the surrounding swamps. It was so sticky that it made people feel disgusted, and it even emitted a stench.
Ren Qi frowned. From the current situation, these black trees did not have any offensive effects.
It was likely that the black viscous liquid that was attached to the black trees had an offensive effect.
“What exactly is that black viscous liquid? It is actually able to cause such a powerful corrosive and soul attack effect.”Zhao Yuheng looked at the black tree branches and leaves in front of him as he frowned and said.
Clearly, Zhao Yuheng had also discovered that the soul attack just now was likely the effect of that black viscous liquid.
Ren Qi shook her head. “It’s still unclear. Let’s continue moving forward. I believe that we should be able to obtain this answer in this hidden treasure.”
Zhao Yuheng nodded. He had also realized that this hidden treasure that he had discovered by chance was not simple.
Soon, Ren Qi and the others brought their troops and continued moving forward into the depths of the swamp.
After continuing to advance for about 300 meters, Zhao Yuheng’s expression became grave.
“Everyone, be careful. This place is already very close to that hidden area. There should be other dangerous existences here,”Zhao Yuheng looked at the area ahead and said to the few people around him.
Ren Qi and the others nodded, and their expressions became vigilant.
Holding the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, Elise stood at the front and vigilantly checked the surrounding environment.
With the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand, Elise could completely block even a demigod-level attack.
Soon, the entire team reached the center of the swamp. Zhao Yuheng and the others braced themselves and monitored everything around them at all times.
At this moment, a strange phenomenon appeared in the swamp in front of them.
At the center of the swamp in front of them, an entire swamp suddenly collapsed and disappeared into the center of the swamp.
Soon after, the surrounding swamp began to flow into the collapsed area in front of them, quickly forming a huge vortex.
The powerful tearing force brought by the vortex directly shattered the hard ground that the Undying Blood Phoenix had spat out flames to bake.
The surrounding troops could only fly into the air to avoid being sucked into the vortex in front of them.
Looking at the vortex that had suddenly formed in front of them, Ren Qi’s brows furrowed tightly.
For Ren Qi and the others, this situation was not a good omen.
After all, they did not know much about the situation in this swamp.
At this moment, the vortex in front of them suddenly emitted an enormous pulling force. In an instant, it landed on Yilisi’s body.
Yilisi’s body suddenly stiffened. He was pulled by this pulling force and quickly disappeared into the huge vortex in front of him!
Ren Qi was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. After which, his eyes revealed an anxious expression.
Yilisi had actually been swept down by the whirlpool!
One could clearly tell just how powerful the suction force of the huge whirlpool was, to be able to cause Yilisi to be unable to resist being swept into the huge whirlpool.
“Don’t panic, Ren Qi. Yilisi is very strong. He will be fine.”Zhao Yuheng, who was by the side, hurriedly spoke when he saw Ren Qi anxiously wanting to charge forward.
Ren Qi calmed down and carefully sensed the vortex. He found that the connection with Elise was still there and nothing had changed.
From the looks of it, Elise should be safe.
Looking at the vortex in front of him, Ren Qi thought for a moment before saying, “I’ll bring my troops down.”
Hearing Ren Qi’s words, Zhao Yuheng and the others frowned.
Zhao Yuheng took the lead and said, “Lord Ren Qi, it’s better not to be too rash. We don’t know much about the situation here, and we don’t know what’s under the vortex. It’s very disadvantageous to go down rashly.”
Luo Ming hesitated and said, “That’s right, Boss Ren Qi. I can understand your feelings, but if you go down like this, you’ll also be in danger.”
Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi also tried to persuade him.
After all, they did not know anything about this place. Although there was no danger when Yi Lisi went down, no one knew if there was any danger hidden under the vortex.
If this was a trap, they might be finished if they went down rashly.
Ren Qi frowned. He naturally knew that what Zhao Yuheng and the others said was very reasonable.
However, Ren Qi did not want to listen to these reasons right now.
Elise was right below the vortex. Ren Qi could not just leave her be.
“It’s alright. I will go down and investigate the situation first. If there is no danger, I will use my communication device to contact you guys to go down.”Ren Qi looked at Zhao Yuheng and the others and said with a very firm expression.
After saying this, Ren Qi did not wait for Zhao Yuheng and the others to speak. He directly led the surrounding succubus army and charged toward the huge vortex in front of them.
Soon after, Ren Qi and the rest disappeared into the huge whirlpool in front of them.
Zhao Yuheng and the rest knitted their brows tightly. As they looked at the huge whirlpool, their expressions became grave.
They did not expect that Lu Yan would directly go down for a soldier. If it was them, they believed that they would not be able to do this.
“What should we do now? Should we just wait outside?”Luo Ming’s expression was very anxious as he asked.
Zhao yuheng said calmly, “We can only wait for now. Ren Qi has already gone down. If there is any danger down there, there isn’t much meaning for us to go down. Let’s wait for Ren Qi’s news here.”
Luo Ming’s face turned pale when he heard this, but he did not say anything in the end.
Zhao Yuheng was right. Now, waiting for Ren Qi’s news was the most appropriate choice.
After entering the vortex in front of him, Ren Qi instantly felt as if the world was spinning.
Soon after, Ren Qi felt the thick mud around him start to rush toward his body, quickly wrapping around his body.
Then, an extremely corrosive and dark attribute energy began to invade Ren Qi’s body.
Ren Qi felt that this energy wanted to drill into his body and assimilate him.
The Aura that this energy emitted was very dense. It was mixed with hatred, jealousy, decadence, and other negative emotions.
Under the erosion of this energy, Lu Yan’s body even began to become a little blurry.
However, at this moment, a powerful soul energy erupted from Lu Yan’s spiritual world and directly swept away this energy.
This was the powerful soul force that Ren Qi had obtained from the Dragon Pool Sword!
After clearing away that negative emotion, Ren Qi’s expression became clear.
At this moment, Ren Qi also saw the situation around him.
At this moment, he appeared in a stone room, and the surrounding area was filled with the troops of the Succubus army.
Beside Ren Qi was the same Elise who had disappeared from the vortex.
At this moment, Elise was looking at Ren Qi with concern. When he saw Ren Qi wake up, he hurriedly asked, “Master, Are You Alright?”
Ren Qi shook his head and asked, “What happened just now?”
Elise said, “I was sucked into the Vortex and came here directly.”
“I didn’t explore the surrounding area. Then, master and the other sisters came in.”
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard Elise’s words.
They appeared here directly?
“Did you guys feel dizzy just now? and a kind of power eroded you?”Ren Qi thought of something and looked at Elise and the others.
