When Cheng Shan was enjoying this situation, things seemed to have developed in a direction he did not expect and his body seemed to start releasing blood through its pores and most importantly even his proficiency in the basic sword that he has not practiced for a long time seemed to have jumped all the way to the limit.
It was probably the one that resulted in all these changes that were happening in his body, and a very foul smell seemed to be coming from his body, or to be more precise the clothes he was wearing had already been soaked with the blood that had been expelled from the body.
More importantly, even his control of the body strength seemed to have reached a subtle level, and he was sure he could now do maximum damage with minimum power. This could also be very useful in a fight as it saves him stamina. Even his movement can be said to have entered the subtle stage, and this in a way was the reason his Wu Qin Xi has already gone all the way to about one-fifth of the proficiency. This speed is fast, and he would even continue to improve faster if he could gain access to the other creatures, after all in this stage it was nothing other than gaining some insights from the creature's movements and adding personal thoughts.
But the thing that made him more concerned was the fact that he could feel weakness spread all over his body. This kind of weakness was not something he could stop, and as such he started to retreat, but the situation did not seem to become better at all, with a panicked expression he retreated even faster. When he had retreated to the point where he could ignore the radiation-like effect, he seemed to have become tired.
Even using the Five Animal Boxing technique seemed like it was not going to be useful to him in any way. He could only sit down and try to regulate his breathing, but things developed in another direction when he realized that even his hair was falling off. Right, the signs of a cancer patient seemed to become more prominent from the radiation-like energy he had been exposed to, and when he touched his head, more hair seemed to have been brushed off.
The situation was as if the hair even lacked support, way worse than even the cancer patients, "What is going on? Didn't this place allow my practice to be faster, even my blood flow seemed to have increased because of that." The moment he said this he seemed to have realized something and his heart sank because he was indeed afraid.
He was thinking about the reasons and some thought flowed through his mind, "Perhaps due to the current physique and practice of Wu Qin Xi, my body was able to withstand the environment in this place. At that time perhaps the blood was being expelled from the body due to being affected by the radioactive energy and it was also why the Five Animals Boxing exercise seemed to have been run out of instinct."
He thought that the exercise was running by itself due to the special energy his body had been exposed to, but now he was not thinking this way.
He felt his body was indeed becoming weaker, and weaker, and even at the moment he could already not move. His eyes were the only thing that was open and he could feel it, the blood in his body seemed to become less and less. The symptoms of blood loss were not something he could miss.
Other than being tired he also seemed to feel dizzy, and this situation was already something that could be said to have started before his heart took the lead. "My heart seems to be slowly starting to stop beating." He had gained some subtle muscle control as such he could feel the situation of this body, but what was the use when it did not seem to bring him any benefits in the moment?
The scariest thing was the environment he was in at this moment, perhaps if died in this place, no one will know or even care. But in this kind of situation regardless of what he did, nothing could change this. Even though some more substance was being expelled from the body and it had a stench of decay, he ignored it. The way he smelled did not seem to be important at all, and thus he had to think more about his survival than everything else in this situation.
But that helplessness and shortness of breath seemed to kick in, with muscles all over seemingly also stopping to function, his entire body seemed to have lost heat but did not seem cold either. Perhaps due to the state of evolution and environment, his body did not become cold, especially the hands and feet as one would expect.
When all this happened, Cheng Shan for the first time seemed to feel death knocking, eventually even his heart did not beat anymore. Everything seemed to have returned to the still environment without life and somebody seemed to be present unlike the skeletons of animals scattered around.
In the silent forest, only the sound of wind could be heard from time to time and it was more than a minute before a sudden change seemed to take place.
"Lup Dup!..."
The sound seemed inaudible before it started to cause a vibration of the man on the ground and eventually, it become very easy to hear it and then spread close to tens of meters around.
It was just that in the place that Cheng Shan was, a mass of black and red blood-like substance seemed to have accumulated, covering his body and the stench alone was enough to chase away the predators in the forest if they could approach.
It is just that the place was not a zone that creatures would be willing to step into, as most of them can smell danger in this place. In that way, it becomes the safest place at the moment.
