After having been running for a while, Situ realized his body was becoming weaker by the second.
"Wait! I have been poisoned!" He suddenly reacted
He initially thought the attack was just that, and he could even move after such a strong creature struck him. But at this moment, he realized he was wrong, completely wrong.
What had just happened to him was far more serious. He could feel the snake monster behind him approaching but not rushed.
It was though it was waiting for the poison to take effect and he would be no threat to it.
Cough!
Suddenly he coughed out some black blood and was instantly aware that this poison was spreading fast.
"What to do?" He indeed was still trying to find out a way of survival.
"I'm I going to die here today?" He forced himself to move.
"No! I can't die here yet! I'm not a normal human being. Since I have managed to reach the eight level of body refinement, I should have some trick to get rid of this poison. But with that snake following behind me, it will be difficult. Need to seek a place to hide first." As he thought of this, he shifted his gaze around.
"Hmm! What is that?" He suddenly realized that a small pit about half a mater in size before him.
Looking behind him, the snake was almost catching up.
His figure jumped into the pit.
The water in this place was somewhat cool, and his body kept sinking.
The temperature kept rising the lower he went, but the goof thing was that black substance was being left behind as his body sank.
The poison was being expelled, and his strength was reappearing throughout his body.
The lower he sank, the higher the temperature got.
It was just when he started to feel dizzy did he realize his body was loosing strength.
Checking himself, he could see a black trail being left behind as he swam. He had initially thought it was this water expelling the poison for him, but he realized he was thinking too much.
"I've been injured? When was this? I'm loosing too much blood. If this continues, I won't even die from the snake or its poison." He realized he might be loosing too much blood.
Seeing some light source under the water, he pushes himself towards it.
He saw a dent on the rock surface in the water resembling some manmade cave.
He approached it, and extended his arm over to discover it passed through some kind of curtain.
"What have I got to lose anyway." With this thought, he passed through the curtain.
It was though his body had moved past some membrane.
He could actually breath. The moment he felt he was no longer inside water, his eyes lit up.
He hurriedly sat down and started utilizing the breathing method.
The blood Qi inside him was brought under control in not time, but the poison had already spread fast.
He would require a long time to handle this, and he wasn't sure if he could completely expell it.
He might not be in immediate danger, but the Poison was after all still a big problem. He had not completely perfected body refinement.
After he put his blood and Qi under control using the breathing method, he was able to see clearly the blue light.
He could feel intense energy flowing toward the blue light.
He moved closer, and the reason for this was simple. He wanted to use this energy to not only detoxify himself but also to try and go for the Ninth level of body refinement.
The poison might not have almost killed him if he had reached this level. But he didn't beat himself over this issue.
When he finally reached the end of this cave, he was able to see it, a human head sized blue stone.
The energy was gathering towards it.
"Is this different from the blood red energy crystal from before?" He moved his arm to touch it.
Boom!
The moment Situ's arm touched the blue stone, his blood Qi seemed to have been stimulated by something.
He felt his body roaring.
Right! It was literally roaring in happiness.
The energy kept flowing into his body along his arm and the phantoms of a deer, bear and monkey manifested behind him, and opened their mouths.
The moment they inhaled, along with his arm, the energy from the crystal was was pulled towards them.
In just one gulp, a massive amount of energy was absorbed along with the flow of his breathing method, energy flowed around his body.
"No wonder I could not breakthrough no matter what I did, as it turned out, the energy was lacking."
The energy of this crystal was just on a whole different level, and it seemed to make his blood Qi excited
Standing14271829815 up with some difficulty, he looked around and this place seemed to resemble some old temple hall. But the place seemed surprisingly clean,
Looking to his right, statues could be seen that human heads, but their faces seemed blurred and he could not make them out clearly at all.
"where is this place? " He wanted to reach out and touch the statues but restrained himself as he looked up, he could see a blue curtain. He was already starting to make up some thoughts about things.
"So this is the place marked with the red mark or something. That huge bird was indeed not something that even Rank 9th could handle. It seems that this world is very dangerous to move around with weak strength, I have yet to come in contact with other human settlements but the beasts are already this fierce."
Do not look at Musk moving ahead all the time, looking for some human settlement, he was more apprehensive of humans than beasts.
At least beasts show you they will attack you but humans are not that way and can attack you while laughing with you.
He has just raised the threat level of this world to another level, but that did not shake him at all. It has just motivated him to become stronger if he wants to survive and Situ did not have the behavior of hiding further from civilization due to the threats that might come from humans.
Beyond the stone statues in the hall, he could see that a huge scar was left on the corner of some stone pillar, it was more like a cut than a scar.
But he did not pay it much attention, rather approached the platform in the hall.
He could see some writings, to his surprise he could actually read them.
But what was written on it was even more interesting.
