Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Chapter 276 Ten Thousand Poison Swamp

He looked down at his palm and found that the skin on his palm was beginning to turn a strange bluish-black.

"This...this is..." Li Chengtian's voice was tinged with disbelief, "Poisoned?"

He suddenly looked up, staring intently at Mo Ming standing not far away, his eyes filled with shock and anger: "Impossible! You didn't even come near me, how could I be poisoned?"

The figure opposite slowly raised his head, revealing a faint smile, his tone tinged with mockery: "When did you poison me? Heh, guess."

Li Chengtian's face grew increasingly grim. He frantically recalled every detail of what had just happened, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand how the other party had managed to do it.

He maintained a safe distance the whole time, and there was no unusual smell in the air. How did the poison get into his body?

“You…” Li Chengtian gritted his teeth, forcibly suppressing the toxins in his body, and tried to use his internal energy to expel the poison from his body.

However, he soon discovered that the toxin was like a living thing, spreading rapidly with the flow of his internal energy, which only made his physical condition worse.

"Don't waste your efforts."

Mo Ming spoke slowly, his tone cold, "Although the poison of the Myriad Poison Swamp is not enough to kill a Radiant Orange-level expert, it is not so easy to force it out, and your strength will be greatly reduced."

Li Chengtian's expression changed completely, his body began to tremble slightly, and cold sweat poured down his forehead like rain.

He stared intently at the other person, his voice trembling slightly: "When... exactly did you poison me?"

Mo Ming didn't answer, but instead made a slamming motion on the ground with his hand. Li Chengtian instantly woke up, realizing that it was at that time!

But how could that be? Just by slamming the ground, they could poison me silently?

Li Chengtian just couldn't understand it.

Mo Ming, of course, couldn't explain it to him in detail. What he needed to think about now was how to use the little advantage he had to completely tip the scales in his favor.

While Wan Duze will have some impact on Li Chengtian's strength, it will not be enough to make Ren Moming a sitting duck.

He wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Li Chengtian completely, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Purgatory is still on cooldown; the only thing we can use right now is...

Mo Ming glanced at his left arm, his eyes resolute. He only had one chance, and he had to hit the target with one blow.

"Kid, even though I'm poisoned, killing a mere Crimson Purple level scum like you is still doable. It'll just take a bit more effort!"

"You really want to kill me?" Mo Ming squinted, a hint of fear in his voice.

Seeing this, Li Chengtian raised an eyebrow, his expression softening slightly. "I won't kill you, but hand over the antidote." Li Chengtian's face was deathly pale, and beads of sweat streamed down his face.

"Then... hand over the treasures of the Fire-Breathing Wolf Camel!"

"There is no antidote for the Myriad Poison Swamp. If you suppress it with your spiritual power for 24 hours, the poison will naturally be neutralized."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian gritted his teeth, "Are you kidding me? What kind of poison requires such an antidote?"

"This is an item I obtained by chance in the secret realm. It is colorless and odorless, and there is no antidote for it."

Moreover, this poison is cumulative; it is not fatal at first, but if it is not suppressed, the toxicity will gradually increase.

Once it accumulates to a certain extent, even a miracle won't save it!

You seek wealth, I seek survival; I have no reason to lie to you. Just try suppressing your feelings and you'll know if what I'm saying is true.

Mo Ming shrugged, his face calm, his gaze unwavering.

Li Chengtian tried to suppress the poison with his spiritual power and was delighted to find that it was effective, but... it was too much of a drain on his spiritual power.

We must get the treasure as soon as possible, then hide and wait for the poison to disappear.

"You're honest enough. Give me the treasure, and I'll let you go."

Mo Ming looked around at the ever-growing forest fire, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Hey! I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Ming interrupted him, "Otherwise... you'll kill me?"

"If you were so confident, you would have acted long ago. Why would you wait until now?"

Mo Ming continued, "You now need to use a large amount of spiritual energy to suppress the poison, so you dare not gamble everything!"

"Hmph! I do have some concerns, but whether it's running away or fighting back, aren't you also unsure?"

Li Chengtian wore a mocking expression, showing that even now he didn't take Mo Ming seriously.

"Hahaha, not before, but now... the time has come!"

After speaking, Mo Ming's body blazed brightly, suddenly erupting into a terrifying flame. The intense heat instantly spread out, and the surrounding fire, like fueled by a raging storm, became violent and volatile in an instant.

"Emperor Yan..."

Mo Ming uttered the name softly, and as the sound faded, his aura completely changed. His originally calm figure now seemed to transform into the center of a sea of ​​fire, his eyes reflecting the raging flames, like a fire king.

"There is no way for you to survive in this sea of ​​fire."

Li Chengtian's previously pale face suddenly changed color. He felt the surrounding temperature rise several times in an instant, and the air was filled with a scorching heat that made it difficult to breathe. He gritted his teeth and circulated his spiritual power, trying to block this sudden and deadly threat.

"Fire? You think you can kill me with flames? You underestimate the defense of a Radiant Orange-level weapon!"

Despite this, Li Chengtian felt an extreme unease. His spiritual energy had been largely depleted, and he now needed to suppress the poison. Yet these raging flames were generating an irresistible pressure, indicating… these flames were no ordinary thing!

"Radiant Orange Level?"

Mo Ming gave a cold laugh, then clenched his fists. The flames erupting from his body instantly merged with the surrounding forest fire, forming a massive vortex resembling a fire meteor.

"Then let's see if your Radiant Orange-level can withstand my 'Flame Emperor Domain'!"

With his low shout, the ground beneath his feet began to crack, and flames swept up like a purgatory, turning the entire space crimson, even distorting the void.

Li Chengtian hurriedly erected a spiritual energy defense to block the flames, but the intense consumption of spiritual energy made his internal strength increasingly strained. The effect of suppressing the poison also began to decline, and the previously suppressed bluish-black venomous snake showed a faint tendency to spread.

And this is exactly what Mo Ming wanted to achieve.

As for the accumulation of toxins, that's just like burning newspapers at a grave—a complete charlatan!

With Mo Ming's current strength, even the most poisonous Wan Du Ze could only have a certain negative impact on him, but it wouldn't be enough to kill a Yao Cheng-level expert.

"Mo Ming!"

Li Chengtian gritted his teeth and roared, his voice filled with rage, "Using all your strength to drive the flames, aren't you afraid of exhausting your spiritual power? Even if you can hold out for a while, once you're exhausted, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

The flickering flames obscured their vision; although they were not far apart, they could not clearly see each other's movements.

Mo Ming looked up at him, but did not respond. Instead, he slowly raised his left arm, his eyes filled with determination.

"Exhausted? Don't worry, this time we won't need to do it again."
