Chapter 281 (Update) Which is more important, life or chastity?
It was almost impossible to defend against the overwhelming and ferocious snake mouths with the Phoenix Ring. In a hurry, he exerted force and threw Lu Xueqi out.

The next thing I saw was pitch black.

Murong Ji took out the Tianwen Sword and let it shine, illuminating the surroundings. All he could see was the pitch-black inner wall of the snake.

A black light protected his entire body, like a bead.

"This is the belly of the Black Water Snake, right?"

He felt its abdomen constantly moving, and guessed that it was on the way. Murong Ji vaguely heard thunder outside, but couldn't figure out what was going on outside.

After thinking for a while, Murong Ji took out the poison bead and embedded it directly into the belly of the Black Water Snake. In an instant, a large amount of dark poisonous blood spread out from his abdomen.

The poisonous blood was still slowly spreading to other places.

After a while, the Black Water Snake began to spasm, twitching and rolling continuously.

Murong Ji exhaled and came to the stomach of the Black Water Snake. After waiting for a moment, a stream of air directly pushed Murong Ji out.

A black light flashed, and after Murong Ji saw the world again, he let out a long breath.

Looking around, this is already the deepest part of the Death Swamp.

Not far away, there were sounds of fighting.

Murong Ji pointed his finger, and the water from the nearby pool slowly flowed in. After the black light shield became clear, Murong Ji released the defense of the Phoenix Ring.

He flew towards the fighting scene on his sword. Before leaving, he looked back at the Black Water Snake, which looked sick and limp there powerlessly.

Seeing the densely crisscross electric patterns on his body, Murong Ji frowned slightly. These were the scars left by the divine sword's art of controlling thunder.

[Xueqi!] Murong Ji suddenly felt that the fighting sound was Lu Xueqi fighting against someone.

He ignored it, flew away on his sword, and chased after that place quickly.

After breaking through the heavy poisonous fog, what he saw was a flash of green light. Murong Ji's pupils shrank. This was not the luster of the magic weapon he was familiar with.

He frowned slightly and moved forward on his sword, but before he got close, a ferocious human face pounced towards him.

Murong Ji was shocked and shattered it with one palm. Countless dust continued to rush towards him. He then realized that the dust was the face of that person.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew past, sweeping away the dust.

A figure emerged through the layers of poisonous fog. He was wearing fiery red clothes and the Green Spirit Stone in his hand kept flashing, smashing the "human faces" that rushed towards him, and then burning the fine dust with flames.

"Yan Hong."

At the same time, Yan Hong also discovered him and gathered towards him.

As Yan Hong moved, the countless "human faces" also moved. Murong Ji stepped forward to help, wanting to use the Five Elements Flag to fight the enemy, but then he remembered that he and Lu Xueqi had exchanged rings, and the Five Elements Flag was not on him.

Helplessly, he made a hand seal and countless winds surged. Taking this opportunity, Yan Hong assisted him with fire and burned the countless "human faces" in front of them to ashes.

"Come on."

After Yan Hong came over, he didn't have time to ask more questions. He just gave some instructions and then hurriedly flew deeper into the Death Swamp.

Murong Ji caught up with it on his sword, and when he returned to the Black Water Snake's location, it was already able to move slowly.

"Interesting!" Murong Ji murmured, feeling deeply moved. He had to admit that the bodies of the alien beasts and demons were really strong.

Even after being poisoned like that, he was able to recover. He was hit by Lu Xueqi's divine sword and the Thunder God Technique, but nothing happened to him.

At this time, the Black Water Snake slowly crawled towards the depths of the Death Swamp.

Murong Ji glanced at Yan Hong, only to see that her face was flushed and something was not right. Just as he was about to speak, Yan Hong's voice came, "Black Water Mystical Snake! Let's follow it!"

Murong Ji swallowed his words and caught up with him on his sword.

As the sky gradually darkened, Murong Ji found a place to build a fire and looked through the Phoenix Ring, which contained some of Lu Xueqi's clothes and daily necessities, as well as a lot of dry food and water.

Murong Ji heated up the dry food and drank it with water.

When I went to see Yan Hong again, my heart skipped a beat. Yan Hong's face was covered with blisters, and there were tiny insect eggs in the blisters.

"Yan Hong, your face."

Yan Hong felt a shudder and reached out to touch it. She sank to the bottom and the bubble burst as soon as she touched it. On the tip of her finger, a tiny worm was coiling.

Murong Ji went forward to examine it carefully. This poison was not serious, but...

Before Murong Ji could finish the examination, Yan Hong fainted instantly.

Murong Ji's pupils shrank as he saw that the back of her hands and neck were covered with blisters. He tore open her clothes and saw her white chest was covered with blisters, so densely packed that it made one's spine cold.

Murong Ji's face darkened. He laid Yan Hong on the ground and quickly immersed himself in the poisonous fog to collect herbs.

In a short while, after Murong Ji came back, he melted many medicinal herbs into a paste.

He spread a clean white cloth on the ground, stripped Yan Hong's clothes, and began to apply ointment on her.

From the fair neck, to the chest, to the lower abdomen, and across the mermaid line...

Yan Hong seemed to have just regained consciousness, and grabbed Murong Ji's claws that were attacking Shang Huayuan, "No, no." Murong Ji was a little speechless, "What's more important, life or chastity?"

He slapped her hand away and applied the ointment. After half an hour, he was finally done. Murong Ji put Yan Hong's clothes in the boiling water stone pot to boil.

Looking at the countless corpses of insects emerging above, Murong Ji frowned. This is really dangerous!

I glanced at Yan Hong. She had already woken up and was curled up there, looking a little pitiful.

After seeing the scars on her body gradually scabbed over, he took out another piece of white cloth and covered her with it.

Afterwards, Murong Ji curled up in a place and took a rest for a while.

A feeling of fatigue came over me. I was half asleep and half awake when I heard someone walking around. I was startled. When I woke up, it was already late at night.

Yan Hong had already put on her own clothes, and the scabs on her body had fallen off, revealing her skin as smooth as jade.

[Recovering so quickly? ! ! Secret method? ! ]

With a quick glance, he saw a flash of blue light in the poisonous fog in the distance. Murong Ji's heart moved, and when he opened his eyes again, Lu Xueqi was already standing in front of him.

After looking Murong Ji up and down, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine. "I'm glad you're okay."

As soon as Murong Ji took Lu Xueqi's hand, he saw her face change. Following her gaze, he saw the "white bed sheet" that Yan Hong had not had time to deal with, and the bloodstains on it.

Murong Ji slapped himself on the forehead. This scene really looked like a scene of compromise.

"Xueqi, this is what happened...we..."

Lu Xueqi's face was cold, "I know, you don't need to explain."

Murong Ji held back his words for a moment, really not knowing what to say. Lu Xueqi was very smart, and compared to his own explanation, she should trust her own judgment more.

In the second half of the night, Murong Ji kept watch and let the two women sleep for a while.

As dawn approached, Lu Xueqi and Murong Ji switched shifts. Murong Ji fell into a deep sleep the moment he leaned back.

After waking up again and taking the dry food handed to him by Lu Xueqi, Murong looked at the two people's faces carefully. They both looked a little pale, and the atmosphere was a little weird and creepy.

Lu Xueqi's aura was terrifying, as if she was suppressing her anger, the kind that was about to explode.

It goes without saying that Lu Xueqi has a strong personality and the conversation between the two was not pleasant.

[But, what did they talk about?] Curiosity kept scratching his heart, making it itchy.

Murong ate his dry food in small bites, staring at the gradually dying flame. Suddenly, he came to his senses and realized when did he become so cautious?
There was nothing wrong between him and Yan Hong. He just slept with Yan Hong. Who could do anything to him?
Thinking of this, Murong Ji became a lot tougher. But when he turned around, he saw Lu Xueqi's deep and cold eyes, and he instantly lost his temper.

[Love is a grind. If you fall in love, you lose. 】

Murong Ji smiled bitterly and was about to explain to Lu Xueqi when he heard Lu Xueqi say, "Look there."

The two looked up and saw a golden light rising above the clouds in the poisonous miasma.

It gradually became brighter and bigger, until the early sun shone completely down, and the golden light burst into colorful brilliance.

【Exotic treasure! 】

Lu Xueqi and Yan Hong thought of the same thing at the same time. They were moved and without saying anything, they jumped up from the ground and rushed into the poisonous miasma.

Murong Ji grabbed Lu Xueqi and pulled her in another direction, straight into the sky and beyond the clouds.

Lu Xueqi was stunned. In front of her, there appeared a giant tree that blocked out the sun and the sky. The crown of the tree was shining with brilliant light.

Murong Ji pulled Lu Xueqi and flew over quickly.

"cracking!"

A cry was heard, which made their ears hurt and their brains a little fuzzy. Hearing this sound, Murong Ji quickly took Lu Xueqi and dived into the clouds.

After the strong wind passed and went farther and farther away, Murong Ji took Lu Xueqi and quickly headed towards the treetops.

After sinking into the tree canopy, the two arrived in front of the treasure house of heaven and earth.

Lu Xueqi looked up and saw the huge palace gate, which was so oppressive that it made people feel a little breathless. This palace gate was really huge.

I am actually the same size as the nail on the door.

The four big characters on it, "Treasure House of the Heavenly Emperor", have an inexplicable Taoist charm that makes people want to worship it.

Murong Ji tugged at Lu Xueqi's sleeve and said, "Don't think this is unattainable. It's just like that."

Lu Xueqi came back to her senses, and suddenly, she saw a small white jade bead appearing in front of the plaque with the words "Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven".

The next moment, the beads flowed smoothly, and suddenly burst into a golden light, which was refracted into colorful rays of light!

Lu Xueqi was shocked, "Strange treasure?!"

Before she could react, Murong Ji had already flown his sword to the huge plaque.

Lu Xueqi opened her mouth and was about to remind him to be careful, but she saw Murong Ji take out the jade bead easily.
