"That's only if you catch up!"
Ning Qi glanced back with a cold smile. There were only a dozen or so pursuers behind him, which wasn't actually that many.
The most troublesome thing is that you yourself have been poisoned.
After flying for a while, Ning Qi looked towards the black water area ahead.
Once you reach this area, you usually need airship protection; it would be very dangerous for an individual.
Firstly, they have to face the twisted monsters that may appear at any time, and secondly, they have to deal with the erosion of the black water here.
When he first came out, he was protected by a flying boat, but now he has put his flying boat away.
If they were to use it, it would mean they would also use airships to pursue them.
Then we'll also have to face their powerful crossbows on their airships.
If it gets hit, the airship will be destroyed.
In this Blackwater area, the odds are definitely against us.
What to do? Ahead lies the Blackwater area, behind are pursuers.
Both sides were still meteorite areas, but the situation was unknown, so running would be very difficult for him.
So, it's only a matter of time before they catch up.
"Haha, there's no way out now!"
"Let's see where you run now!"
"The Blackwater area is just ahead, kid! You're finished!"
"..."
The pursuers behind them realized that the situation was in their favor, so they began to mock them.
They wanted to take this opportunity to disrupt Ning Qi's decision and create a chance for them to catch up with him.
"Hmph! A clown!"
Ning Qi snorted coldly, then continued to flee towards the Blackwater area.
Meanwhile, his pursuers became even more brazen.
"They're going to their deaths."
"Hmph, keep chasing. Once we're out of this meteorite area, we can use the flying boat!"
"Good, go for it!"
Everyone used all their strength to continue pursuing Ning Qi.
He was given no chance to catch his breath.
At this point, Ning Qi was already far from the meteorite area; if he continued forward, he would reach the Blackwater area.
Upon arriving here, he had no choice but to take out his flying boat.
After activating the system, he continued to escape in the airship, but there was one advantage to being on the airship.
That means you can start to recover, but you'll have to face their crossbow attacks.
This prevented him from fully concentrating on dealing with the poisoning.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
"..."
And so, the pursuers behind them began firing relentlessly.
Ning Qi, relying on his prediction, dodged their airship's shots time and time again.
"Damn, that's cunning!"
"Keep going, don't let him escape!"
Everyone hated Ning Qi to the core, but even so, they couldn't kill him.
This gradually made them anxious.
"call!"
Ning Qi felt the wind whistling past his ears and glanced at the pursuers behind him.
They continued to relentlessly pursue him, but they were no longer as arrogant as before.
Each of them carefully controlled their crossbows and flying boats, firing continuously while relentlessly pursuing their prey.
Ning Qi observed his surroundings, trying to find a breakthrough.
Before them stretched out large areas of black water, but there was no continuous expanse of black water.
However, as they ventured deeper, they encountered increasingly larger stretches of blackwater.
In some places, the black water has become a continuous expanse, and if you don't carefully maneuver your flying boat, rushing in will only lead to certain death.
This is formed by the condensation of countless wisps of gray fog, and its erosion on them is devastating.
Upon arriving here, his pursuers slowed down, but Ning Qi maintained his speed.
Gradually, I distanced myself from these people.
"Damn it, is he really courting death?"
"If you accidentally get into this black water, you're doomed!"
"Never mind, just keep chasing him. I don't believe he'll dare go in!"
"..."
The pursuers were hot on their heels, but they had changed their strategy.
They stopped chasing relentlessly and instead scattered like sheep being herded.
They relentlessly pursued Ning Qi, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
At this moment, Ning Qi also felt a headache.
It's not a reaction to poisoning, but rather that the gaps between the connected black water areas ahead are getting smaller and smaller.
Some of them are even fully connected, and you have to force your way through.
Fortunately, the connection points in these areas are not large, so you can get through them with your eyes closed.
However, as they went deeper, the connection point became increasingly solid, and rushing through it was no longer something that could be done with their eyes closed.
Many times, Ning Qi had to circulate his internal energy to resist in order to get through it.
This was adding insult to injury for him.
The deadly poison in his body had begun to rage, and he desperately needed a place to recuperate.
To avoid being completely eroded.
"Damn it, isn't he afraid of dying?"
"This is like going to your death in the Blackwater region."
"Once we enter the Blackwater Zone, we'll need the protection of giant ships to withstand it! Our airships won't cut it!"
"What should we do? Retreat?"
"No, stay here and guard the place. Let him go in, just don't let him come out!"
"..."
By this time, the pursuers behind them had given up the chase.
The people piloting their flying boats all stopped and watched Ning Qi from a distance.
This piece of fat meat that was almost in my mouth just flew away.
At this moment, Ning Qi also realized that the people behind him had stopped chasing him.
So they gradually slowed down and looked back; they could barely see them anymore.
"call!"
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I got here.
He looked around and observed the situation.
All around, there was black water, which had merged into one.
The previous gap no longer exists.
In other words, he has completely entered the Blackwater area.
His airship's protective light barrier was already teetering on the brink of collapse in this blackwater area, and was beginning to falter.
"We can only try to see if the Ruoshui Three Thousand Formation can withstand it."
Ning Qi had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
Gritting his teeth and persevering, he began to inscribe the formation on the protective light screen of his flying boat.
At this moment, he completely disregarded the raging poison within his body and meticulously inscribed the formation step by step.
After several hours, the airship was finally covered with arrays.
"Buzz!"
Finally, Ning Qi controlled them all and activated them instantly.
In an instant, a series of powerful pressures erupted from the flying boat's light screen, instantly forcing back the surrounding black water.
This created a vacuum zone in the black water surrounding his airship, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Meanwhile, several dozen feet outside the flying boat, the black water, affected by the array pressure of Ruoshui Sanqian, also dimmed.
"Heaven has eyes."
Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the formation was working.
He directly controlled the airship to stop in place and continued to observe the surrounding environment.
The area was a vast expanse of black water, and he had lost his sense of direction.
However, the path we came from can still be vaguely seen.
So Ning Qi quickly took out his compass and used it to determine his location, making sure he wouldn't get lost.
I was relieved after the location was confirmed.
Continue to observe the situation here. The twisted monsters in the Blackwater area are stronger than those in the Gray Fog area.
Even the border area between the two places is not as strong as this one.
If he were to encounter this, given his current physical condition, he would simply be waiting to die.
Ning Qi sighed and began to sit cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
Gradually, I became aware of the situation inside my body.
That colorful glow wasn't actually a glow at all, but rather a radiant light that seemed to be moving.
It was more like countless silver needles, poisoned and injected into his body.
These bright lights, in various colors, were clearly deliberately sprayed with countless amounts of venom to ensure the enemy's survival.
In this situation, survival would be virtually impossible.
"Damn it, I'm not going to give up like this, am I?"
Ning Qi gritted his teeth and cursed.
His body was in complete disarray at this point.
His bones and meridians were so badly damaged that they were like paste, causing him immense pain.
"call!"
This made him sit on the deck, trembling all over.
However, all his efforts were in vain; he had tried everything he could, but to no avail, he could not get rid of the poison needles.
Even boundless evil energy was of no use.
Ning Qi meditated here for several hours, but the poison in his body not only did not improve, but became more serious.
"cough!"
"..."
He coughed several times in succession, spitting out pools of blood.
The blood sizzled as it fell onto the deck.
You should know that the deck of this flying boat is so tough that even black water cannot corrode it, but the poisoned blood he vomited out could corrode it.
This demonstrates the extreme toxicity of this poison.
If it weren't for his physique, an ordinary person would probably have died long ago.
"That's right!"
Just as Ning Qi was in despair, he suddenly thought of something.
Back in the Alchemy Palace, there were ancient pills left over from the ancient alchemy furnace in that main hall.
At the time, I was studying the formation in the backyard, so I just put it away and didn't study it.
Looking back now, perhaps it will come in handy.
Ning Qi quickly took out the previous alchemy furnace from his storage bag.
He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on the alchemy furnace, and opened it to look inside.
In the central core area, three pills lay quietly.
It looked completely ordinary, without any ripples, and even the powerful life force of the elixir could not be sensed.
Ning Qi was disappointed.
However, this was his only hope, so he could only endure the excruciating pain and reach in to explore.
He picked up a pill and gently squeezed it with his hand.
"call!"
With a gust of wind, it turned directly into ashes and vanished into thin air.
Ning Qi shook his head, picked up another one, and squeezed it again.
This time it didn't turn to ashes, but after the dregs covering it fell off, the pill that was revealed was just an ordinary pill.
Although there were some fluctuations in life force, they had absolutely no effect on him.
A drop in the ocean.
So he focused his attention on the last pill.
This is his only hope right now.
Ning picked it up and gently squeezed it.
"puff……"
Unsurprisingly, it broke again.
Although it didn't turn to ashes, it was almost like a puddle of mud.
No use, all three are discarded pills, they are of no use whatsoever.
Is this how it ends? I'm not willing to accept it.
So he took out a dagger and began scraping the inner wall of the alchemy furnace.
I wanted to see if there was any hope left here.
He searched the entire inside of the alchemy furnace but found nothing.
In a fit of rage, he forcefully stabbed the dagger into the bottom of the inner wall of the alchemy furnace.
"when!"
A crisp sound rang out, bringing a slightly different feeling.
It wasn't that heavy feeling. Ning Qi's eyes lit up, and he added another blow.
"when!"
Another crisp sound rang out.
This made him even more certain that there was something fishy going on.
So he started poking the bottom of the alchemy furnace repeatedly.
If it weren't for the fact that he was poisoned and unable to exert any strength, the wound would have been opened long ago.
However, even so, through his perseverance, he finally managed to break through the hidden layer.
A brocade box was revealed from the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
The brocade box emitted a fluorescent glow, and within it surged a powerful life force.
"Medicine!"
"Is it an elixir of immortality?"
Ning Qi swallowed hard and excitedly took the brocade box out of it.
He leaned against the alchemy furnace with difficulty, his breathing becoming rapid.
This is his only hope here. If there is an elixir of immortality, he might have a chance to live. If not, he can only wait to die.
Ning Qi looked at the fluctuations of the restriction above and immediately activated his Dao Fruit.
It was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Only one lid remains; once opened, it will determine whether the person is alive or dead.
"Phew!" Ning Qi took a deep breath, then stretched out his hands and opened it.
"Whoosh!"
After it was opened, a powerful life force surged forth.
Make him open his eyes wide and look at the pill in front of him.
It is smooth and lustrous, emitting soft halos.
Ning Qi looked down and found that there was a child-like creature curled up inside the pill.
"This is... a medicinal spirit?"
After muttering to himself, Ning Qi reached out and picked up the pill.
With a gentle shake, the baby inside slowly opened its eyes.
Upon seeing Ning Qi, he immediately became wary.
"Who are you!"
The baby questioned Ning Qi in a childish, innocent voice.
"Me? I'm the one who's going to eat you!"
At this critical juncture, Ning Qi could no longer care about morality.
It's just a medicinal spirit; once you've taken it, that's fine.
A pill that can produce medicinal essence must undoubtedly be a celestial elixir.
As for how long he can hold on, that depends on his own fate.
You're a bad person!
Upon hearing his words, the baby immediately showed a look of panic.
She was manipulating the pill, trying to break free from his grasp.
"Hmph, you can't escape."
"Don't worry, you saved my life, I'll remember you!"
Ning Qi shook his head, then took the elixir and was about to put it in his mouth.
"Don't eat me! I can help you get rid of the poison in your body!"
As the spirit of the elixir, the infant could naturally see the condition of Ning Qi's body.
Upon hearing that he intended to use himself as an antidote, he quickly said so.
"I'll only give you one chance. If you can convince me, I'll spare your life!"
Ning Qi stopped and looked at Yao Ling after hearing her words.
He also knew very well that this elixir could not completely save his life.
Since Yaoling knows this, let's listen to what he has to say. If there is really a way to save him, then let's spare his life.
There is no longer a need to use him to prolong life.
"The poison you have been afflicted with is the Five-Colored Divine Poison, a type of poison that our Buzhou Mountain possessed in the past."
"I've seen it! It's the most potent poison in the world."
Seeing that Ning Qi was going to let her go, Yao Ling spoke to him calmly.
"Let's get down to business!"
Ning Qi squeezed the elixir hard, signaling the spirit to stop talking nonsense. (End of Chapter)
