"Seven-Tailed Fox..."

Mountain-Guarding Old Man thoughtfully looked at the figure disappearing into Mist and murmured to himself, "Sure enough, the black hair penetrated into the black Mist and was completely invisible..."

"Black monkey..."

His eyes looked a little weird, and finally he rose into the sky and flew slowly in the direction of Demon-Suppressing Pass again.

Just after feeling the terrifying pressure in the distance, he shuddered subconsciously. "This is how many ruthless people have come...Demon Lord, there must be at least... twenty of them."

Mountain-Guarding Old Man, who was originally quite confident in his own strength and thought he could escape alive if something went wrong, fell to the ground obediently and turned into a Gray Snake again. He slowly crawled toward direction of Demon-Suppressing Pass in a sneaky way, still muttering, "How on earth did Yu Sheng break through this layer of Blockade Line..."

Swamp Pool!

Compared with the grand occasion of Thousand-Li Demon Plain at this time, Swamp Pool seemed particularly quiet.

In other words, this place is incompatible with the entire Demon Domain environment!

Yu Sheng landed silently on a raised stone without making any sound.

On a tree not far away, a dark gray Python opened its eyes lazily, as if it felt something, looked at Yu Sheng with cold pupils, and finally closed its eyes slowly.

Poisonheart Flower, it works!

It took Lawless Outlaws a lot of hard work, took half a year, and sacrificed countless manpower and material resources, and finally found three plants at Demon Domain near Ghost Gate!

The petals of this flower are crushed into juice and applied to the body. It will emit a strange smell and stimulate the sense of smell!

Ordinary Demon Beast people may be a little uncomfortable with it, but these guys in Swamp Pool have a natural affinity for this smell, as if they have attached their own label.

Yu Sheng stood up slowly and stood firm on the stone.

The weeds here are so tall that you can't see what's underneath at all. You might fall into the mire at any time and gradually sink.

Yu Sheng recalled the situation on the map, walked as far as possible where there were trees, and tentatively walked further away.

A bat suddenly flew past from a distance, hung upside down on a branch, and made a shrill scream.

Although it was no more than Third Level, this bat showed no fear when faced with Yu Sheng, or it could be said that he had no such emotion at all.

Yu Sheng stopped, raised his head, and looked at the bat.

But the bat kept its eyes closed, and finally waved its wings again, and flew away beside Yu Sheng.

The atmosphere in the whole scene was a bit strange, but Yu Sheng always kept a calm face, climbed up a tree, and looked around.

Next to the branch, a dark snake moved slightly, as if its rest was disturbed by the arrival of Yu Sheng. It opened its eyes irritably, exposed its fangs, and subconsciously wanted to bite it.

But what responded to it was a hairy hand.

This hand grabbed its neck, and a pair of eyes looked at it curiously.

In the face of provocation, wisps of Demon Aura permeate the air.

And Demon Aura is even mixed with some black silk threads.

"Special Demon Aura, is this what it is?"

Yu Sheng looked at Black Snake in the palm of his hand, thoughtfully, and finally twisted it together, tied a knot, and threw it into the weeds below.

On the ground that originally seemed calm, a scaly head suddenly emerged, still stained with mud. It bit down on Black Snake, which had not yet fallen, and swallowed it directly. Then it dived into the swamp again and disappeared.

The whole scene happened in just a moment, but it proved how dangerous this place was.

What makes Yu Sheng curious is that this place is clearly in crisis. Logically speaking, those Low-Level Demon Beasts should be cautious and fearful. This is in line with Demon Domain's current situation.

But even if death is possible at any time, these Demon Beasts still maintain a violent mood. Even if they feel that Yu Sheng is far stronger than themselves, they dare to open their mouths and take the initiative to attack.

"They seem... to know nothing about death."

"Killing is the instinct that remains in their emotions."

"Is all this due to the influence of Poison Gas?"

Yu Sheng looked around. Under the cover of Poison Gas, even the scene three meters away could not be seen clearly.

He did not continue to act, but sat on the tree and took out a pendant with a light gray bead on it.

Hanging it around the neck and hiding it behind the hair, the Poison Gas that originally diffused around Yu Sheng's body seemed to have become much lighter.

That suppressed emotion was greatly relieved at this moment.

"If you are shrouded in Poison Gas for a long time, even your emotions will be corroded, and you will eventually become a puppet-like existence."

"In the eyes of outsiders, Swamp Pool is like a metal bucket, but all Demon Beast are very united..."

"But actually the real reason is... they have already been controlled by a hidden Demon Lord without even knowing it."

Recalling the USB Drive that Lawless Outlaws gave to him, which contained dense information about Swamp Pool, Yu Sheng was thoughtful.

Most of them are just speculations by Lawless Outlaws, and only a small part have been confirmed.

Regarding the Poison Gas part, it was his guess, so Yu Sheng did not take out the pendant immediately.

Now it looks like...

His guess was correct.

The problem with Poison Gas is indeed huge.

And this is just one of Lawless Outlaws's countless conjectures.

He compiled hundreds of pages of similar information!

From this we can see how much he attaches importance to Swamp Pool.

As the sky darkens, Poison Gas becomes much richer than before. Even the pendant worn by Yu Sheng cannot completely isolate it from the outside of the body.

When Swamp Pool completely fell into darkness, Yu Sheng decisively stopped moving forward, found a tree, cleared the nearby dangers, and stayed still.

In this quiet atmosphere, you can still vaguely hear the rustling in the grass under your feet.

As if night falls, they all become energetic.
