Chapter 784: Disaster

"That was that just now?"

Zhao Mu said with lingering fear. Normally, he should be able to adapt to the environment of the underground river, but the gust of wind just now was very strange, and the density of chaotic energy contained in it was extremely high. If Ye Xiaoxiao hadn't taken action in time, all his skin and flesh would have been lost. Got blown away.

"You are unlucky. You have encountered an undercurrent. The undercurrent contains high-pressure chaotic energy. Even the Immortal King is at risk of dying suddenly if he is hit by the undercurrent."

Ye Xiaoxiao's words made Zhao Mu frown.

This is too unlucky to hit an undercurrent right away.

What about the person who said he has great luck?

Sure enough, Ye Xiaoxiao was right. Luck was of no use in this dark river.

You still have to be careful and never leave Ye Xiaoxiao's side.

Zhao Mu thought and took the initiative to approach Ye Xiaoxiao.

But at this moment, a more ferocious undercurrent suddenly blew towards Zhao Mu.

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, realizing that the situation was not good, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Mu's arm.

However, the undercurrent seemed to be aimed at Zhao Mu, and it was extremely fierce. With a crash, Zhao Mu's arm was torn off, and his body was swept into the boundless darkness. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace from Ye Xiaoxiao. .

Although Ye Xiaoxiao rushed to the rescue as soon as possible, he was still a step too late and watched Zhao Mu being swept away by the undercurrent.

When he wanted to chase again, more and more undercurrents appeared, hindering Ye Xiaoxiao's steps.

When the undercurrent calmed down, Zhao Mu's breath was gone, and he didn't know where he was swept away by the undercurrent.

…

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Zhao Mu gradually regained consciousness and found himself lying in a dilapidated cabin.

The wooden house was very crude, as if it would collapse if the wind blew.

The house was relatively clean and tidy, but from time to time there was a foul smell coming from outside. It was like living in a landfill under the scorching sun, which made Zhao Mu want to block his five senses immediately.

But at this time, Zhao Mu was surprised to find that his body did not obey orders at all, and he had no strength at all.

He moved his eyelids with difficulty and looked at his body.

hiss……

What kind of monster is this.

His skin had been completely corroded, and his red muscle texture was directly exposed to the air.

In some places where corrosion is severe, white bones can even be seen.

This was the first time Zhao Mu encountered such a serious injury.

Was it blown out by the undercurrent?

He tried to activate the law of life to repair the damaged body.

But his current state is too weak and he can't exert any strength.

Almost every part of his body was seriously injured that would lead to death.

Only one heart remained intact.

It's just that the heartbeat frequency has dropped a lot.

But every heartbeat was accompanied by a weak energy dissipating throughout the body. It was the weak power supply of the Supreme Emperor's Heart that saved Zhao Mu's life.

"If you're injured like this, you might as well just die." Zhao Mu thought.

Wait, I’ve already died once...

Zhao Mu has the protection of the Night Demon and can withstand ten fatal injuries.

He quickly checked the Night Demon's protection status.

as expected.

The number of times to withstand fatal damage has changed from ten times to nine times.

He really died once under the influence of the undercurrent.

But the Night Demon's protection could only protect him from fatal injuries, but it could not restore his injuries.

Although he is not dead now, he is just lingering.

What a pitfall...

Zhao Mu closed his eyes and began to nurse himself back to health.

At least regain some strength first so that he has the strength to open the storage ring.

There is a healing elixir inside, which should be able to recover from his injuries.

There are also elixirs that replenish his immortal power and can also restore his physical strength.

The situation outside is unknown now, and he must regain his fighting strength as soon as possible. He doesn't want to die again.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About two hours later, Zhao Mu gradually regained some of his physical strength.

He put his mental power into the storage ring, preparing to find the elixir and take it.

But at this moment, the dilapidated door of the wooden house was suddenly pushed open.

Someone came in.

Then the door was closed again.

"Not dead yet, that's great."

An ethereal female voice came.

Zhao Mu didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't open his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

There was a rustling sound, and then someone opened his mouth and poured a cool, sweet liquid into his mouth.

This liquid contained rich vitality, which suddenly gave his body a little more strength.

Only then did Zhao Mu feel relieved.

It seemed that this person had no ill intentions, and he should have been rescued by her.

Zhao Mu stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes leisurely and looked over.

A girl with braids, petite, unkempt hair, who looked like a little beggar looked at me in surprise.

"You're awake!"

"You are really lucky. You were swept deep into the valley by the undercurrent and didn't die."

"It's a pity that my medical skills are limited and I can't cure you. Although you are awake, whether you can survive depends on your own destiny."

"I can only help you get some nutrient solution to help you regain your strength."

"Then it's all up to you."

The girl seemed very tired. She yawned profusely before she finished speaking, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Zhao Mu was ashamed.

But that’s fine too.

He opened the storage ring, took out a bunch of pills, and swallowed them all without thinking.

The pills took effect quickly, and Zhao Mu's injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The immortal power in his body gradually grew stronger.

In a short while, Zhao Mu's appearance had returned to normal.

However, the injury was still too serious. The pills could only help him recover 20% to 30%, and the rest had to rely on himself.

It was enough.

Zhao Mu sat up, circulated the law of life to continue to repair his injuries, and walked out of the house to check the situation outside.

"Is this... a garbage dump?"

Looking around, the earth was covered with endless mountains of garbage.

The types of these garbage were varied, but most of them were various bones and furs.

The second was various slag, dust, and domestic garbage.

There were many similar cabins nearby, and it seemed that people lived in them, forming a scattered slum in the garbage dump.

Zhao Mu was a little confused.

Is this still in the dark river?

The girl did mention the undercurrent just now, which means that this place is probably still in the dark river area, but why is there such a huge garbage dump in the dark river?

Zhao Mu returned to the house with all kinds of doubts and checked the girl's physical condition.

"She is actually a human, but her blood is not pure. I don't know what race she is mixed with."

"She has a high level of cultivation, the late Xuanxian, which is higher than my realm."

"But her aura is very chaotic and mixed, and it doesn't seem like a cultivation level that has been improved through proper practice."

"She has a lot of bandages wrapped around her body,"

"Her facial features are quite delicate, but her body is too dirty, her skin is a bit rough, and she exudes an unhealthy aura."
