Then, he reached out and inhaled, drawing a wisp of poisonous gas from the outside into his palm. A moment later, he raised an eyebrow and thought to himself:
"So that's how it is! Just as the original story says, this isn't poisonous miasma at all, but poisonous insects!"
These poisonous insects are extremely small, so small that they are invisible to the naked eye.
They float throughout the forest, and once inhaled, those hundreds of millions of tiny venomous insects immediately begin to move.
It devours flesh and blood, fighting spirit, and everything else.
Moreover, these poisonous insects can ignore the protective aura and directly devour all of it.
No wonder all the corpses seen along the way had turned into skeletons.
"Fortunately, my magic is imbued with a trace of Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which makes these poisonous insects helpless against my protective shield, and they are even afraid to get close!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll die without knowing why!"
"This layer of poisonous miasma alone can keep ninety percent of people out. This desolate ancient domain truly lives up to its reputation!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning couldn't help but feel fortunate.
The protective aura surrounding him extended three feet around him, appearing from a distance like a pale yellow light bulb, keeping the countless poisonous insects at bay and preventing them from getting close.
In the poisonous miasma-filled forest, the piercing screams still echoed from afar, keeping this strange forest in an extremely eerie atmosphere at all times.
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out from within the dense poisonous miasma, and a faint flame appeared. Strangely, when the flame appeared, the surrounding poisonous miasma seemed to be startled and automatically retreated, making way for an empty path.
"Poisonous insects are of the yin and cold nature, while my Bone Spirit Cold Fire is both extremely yin and extremely yang. They will avoid me as much as possible, so naturally they will not go near me!"
"The principles of Yin and Yang are embodied in all things in nature!"
Xiao Ning seemed to be deep in thought, feeling that his understanding of Yin and Yang had become clearer.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, as they ventured deeper into the area, the surrounding poisonous miasma gradually thinned out, until finally, the miasma completely disappeared.
Xiao Ning leaped onto a giant rock and looked into the distance. He saw a massive ravine, hundreds of feet long, appearing before him.
This chasm looks extremely deep, with poisonous gas swirling around it, making it impossible to see its end.
Looking up, beyond the ravine stretched an endless mountain range, towering thousands of feet high, like giant dragons coiled around.
An ancient and wild aura emanated from it, spreading throughout this land.
That place is the true, untamed ancient realm!
That was just an appetizer!
"call!"
Gazing at the distant mountains, Xiao Ning let out a soft breath, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. He could sense that within those ancient, seemingly endless mountains, there were hidden auras of extreme ferocity.
These auras are very likely those of the Saint-level beings from the original work.
The ferocious beasts here live in isolation from the world, their power passed down from ancient times. They are incredibly strong, though their intelligence is inferior to that of other magical beasts of the same level due to their extreme violence. However, their explosive power is far greater than that of magical beasts.
For some reason, Xiao Ning felt no fear at all; instead, she felt a sense of eagerness to try.
Having reached his current level of strength, Xiao Ning rarely engages in combat, as he is not a warmonger and cultivates only for the purpose of achieving immortality.
But this does not mean that he is a cultivation machine who only knows how to cultivate and is unaware of the coldness and warmth of human relationships.
If it weren't for this extraordinary encounter, Xiao would still be a twenty-year-old young man who had just entered society and had just been brutally beaten by it, but his passion had not cooled.
When he was in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, he saw that the people were suffering and that his Chinese compatriots were living in dire straits. He wished he could rush into the Tartar palace and kill them all.
Fortunately, reason prevailed. He secretly nurtured a hidden dragon, allowing him to participate in the struggle for supremacy, and ultimately he conquered the Central Plains, ending that chaotic situation.
After arriving in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, Xiao Ning found that although the natives of this world also had black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, they were completely different from the Chinese, making it difficult for him to have any emotional connection with them.
Only Xiao Yan, a fellow transmigrator from Blue Star, could give him a sense of familiarity.
Therefore, within my capabilities and without burdening myself, I will take care of my fellow villager Xiao Yan to some extent, but that's all.
If you want Xiao Ning to risk his life and shed blood to sacrifice himself for the survival of others, I'm sorry, I cannot do it.
This is human selfishness, and has nothing to do with morality or character.
Humans are the most complex and advanced animals.
The existence of the seven emotions and six desires is the fundamental difference between humans and animals.
Six months in prison had long since made Xiao Ning see through the filth and corruption of this world.
Humans can kill their wives, children, and parents for profit; their so-called humanity has long since disappeared and they are no different from beasts.
They can commit all sorts of unbelievable misdeeds for the sake of fame; beneath their glamorous exterior, their ugly inner selves are nauseating.
Mencius said: Human nature is inherently evil!
This is absolutely true!
Therefore, after gaining the extraordinary opportunity of the sign-in system, Xiao Ning had only one thought in his mind: transcendence.
Transcend this mundane world.
To transcend this, one needs an irresistible force.
