Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 657: Dangerous Journey: Xiao Bei's Journey

Xiao Bei turned to face the cheering immortals. There was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, mixed with a hint of worry.

He took a deep breath and raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"I will live up to everyone's expectations." He said in a firm tone, his eyes moving to the vague figure in the crowd. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, he could feel the determination and support conveyed in her eyes.

After a brief silence, Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand, and without saying anything more, they turned and walked in the direction indicated by the light.

Their backs, in the golden afterglow, appear particularly tall and lonely.

The immortals looked at their receding figures with mixed feelings.

The cheers gradually died down, replaced by a sense of sadness of parting and tension about the unknown that spread among the crowd.

After walking for a long time, a vast swamp appeared in front of us.

The gray-green mud was bubbling, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of decay.

Xiao Bei frowned and took a tentative step. The ground beneath his feet seemed solid, but it collapsed the moment he landed, and a suction force pulled him down.

He quickly used his spiritual power to steady his body, thus avoiding falling into the quagmire.

Beili held Xiao Bei's hand tightly. Her palms were slightly sweaty and her heartbeat quickened.

"Be careful!" she whispered, a hint of worry in her tone.

Xiao Bei nodded. He knew that he had to cross the swamp as soon as possible, but he couldn't act rashly.

He looked around, trying to find a safe path.

The swamp may appear peaceful on the surface, but it actually hides a dangerous situation.

Some places are covered with seemingly solid meadows, but in fact there are bottomless quagmires underneath; some places have seemingly calm water surfaces, but in fact there are ferocious swamp creatures lurking.

He moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution, however, traps seemed to be everywhere.

He stepped on a piece of seemingly solid land again, and the ground collapsed instantly. This time, he failed to react in time and one of his feet sank into the mud.

The sticky mud tightly wrapped around his ankles, as if an invisible hand was dragging him into the abyss.

"Damn it!" Xiao Bei cursed and tried to pull his legs out, but found that the suction of the mud was stronger than he imagined.

The more he struggled, the deeper he sank.

"Don't panic, I'll help you!" Bei Li said, and also tentatively approached, trying to pull Xiao Bei...

"Wait! Don't come over!" Xiao Bei suddenly shouted.

Before Xiao Bei finished speaking, dark green bubbles surged in the center of the swamp and a pungent fishy smell spread.

"It's poisonous!" Xiao Bei held his breath, but it was too late.

Bei Li, who was standing behind him, groaned, her petite body swayed, and her face turned pale in an instant.

"I... I feel so dizzy..." She leaned weakly on Xiao Bei, her voice as weak as a mosquito.

Xiao Bei was extremely anxious. He hugged Bei Li with one hand and used the other hand to frantically mobilize his spiritual power, trying to pull his leg out of the mud.

However, the suction of the mud became stronger and stronger, and he felt like he was being slowly swallowed by a giant beast, and the feeling of despair overwhelmed him bit by bit.

Depressed and suffocating, poisonous gas spread in the air, time seemed to stand still, and every breath became extremely long.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the swamp, and then several huge figures slowly rose from the mud.

They are bloated, covered with thick mud armor, and emit a disgusting smell of decay - they are swamp mud monsters!

"Roar--" The mud monster let out a deafening roar, and its huge mud fist smashed towards Xiao Bei.

Xiao Bei was unable to dodge and had to take the blow.

The force of the mud fist was so great that he felt his internal organs shifted. A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, which he forced himself to swallow.

He endured the severe pain, protected Beili behind him, and waved the long sword in his hand, and sharp sword energy attacked the mud monster.

However, the mud monsters had thick skin and flesh, and the sword energy only left shallow scratches on them, and could not cause any substantial damage.

More and more mud monsters crawled out of the swamp. They surrounded Xiao Bei and roared one after another, like a group of hungry beasts, ready to tear their prey into pieces at any time.

Xiao Bei's attacks gradually became less and less effective, his breathing became more and more rapid, and the wounds on his body became more and more.

Beili leaned against him, feeling his violent heartbeat.

"Xiao Bei..." She stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to touch him, but her hand dropped down weakly.

"You...you must hold on..."

Xiao Bei didn't say anything. He gritted his teeth, stared at the mud monster in front of him with cold eyes, and swung the sword in his hand even more rapidly.

He knew that he couldn't fall down. He had to protect Beili and leave here alive.

However, the number of mud monsters was too great, and their attacks became increasingly fierce.

Xiao Bei's physical strength was gradually overdrawn, his movements began to become slow, and double images began to appear in front of his eyes.

At this moment, a mud monster circled behind him and smashed its huge mud fist towards Beili...

"No——" Xiao Bei's eyes were bloodshot. He used up his last bit of strength to push Bei Li away.

"Beili! Use your..." Beili ignored her own weakness, and lightly raised her slender fingers. The white fairy power flowed out like a trickle, gathering into a crystal clear ball of light at her fingertips.

The light ball emitted a soft glow, like a spring breeze, slowly dispersing the dark green poisonous gas that permeated the surroundings.

The fresh air rushed into Xiao Bei's lungs, and he suddenly felt refreshed, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

He looked down at Bei Li, whose face was pale in his arms, feeling both moved and worried.

I am moved by her selfless devotion and worried about her weakness at this moment.

"Silly, you..." Xiao Bei's voice was a little hoarse, he hugged Bei Li tightly,

Bei Li smiled weakly and gently leaned her head on Xiao Bei's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat and feeling his warm embrace, a warm current surged in her heart.

Even when I am in danger, I feel extremely safe with him by my side.

At this moment, the roars of the mud monsters around them seemed to become distant, and it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

In this swamp full of dangers, their love flows slowly and is filled with warmth like the breeze that dispels the poison.

However, this brief warmth did not last long.

The roar of the mud monster brought them back to reality again.

A huge mud monster, waving a giant fist made of mud, smashed towards Xiao Bei fiercely.

Xiao Bei quickly dodged to the side, and the huge fist brushed past his shoulder, bringing up a gust of fishy and muddy wind.

"Beili, hold on to me!" Xiao Bei growled, hugged Beili, tapped his toes lightly, and shuttled between the mud monsters like lightning, avoiding their crazy attacks.

Beili hugged Xiao Bei's neck tightly, feeling the whistling wind and the roar of the mud monster in her ears, her heart was in her throat.

While dodging, Xiao Bei's gaze accidentally swept across the eyes of a mud monster. He suddenly discovered that although the mud monster's eyes were cloudy, they were flashing with a strange light...

"Wait..." Xiao Bei's mind moved, "Their eyes..."

Xiao Bei's gaze was fixed on the turbid eyes of a mud monster. The strange light flashing there made him feel something in his heart.

Is it...

Is this their weakness?

He concentrated his immortal power at his fingertips, transforming it into a sharp sword energy that pierced the mud monster's eyes.

"Roar!" The mud monster let out a painful roar, its huge body trembled violently, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Sure enough!

Xiao Bei was delighted. He once again concentrated his immortal power, and sword energy shot towards the eyes of the surrounding mud monsters like a storm.

The eyes of mud monsters are their weakest defense point. Once hit, they will lose the ability to move or even die directly.

"Gurgle gurgle..." The surging mud in the swamp gradually subsided, and one mud monster after another fell into the mud, and the smelly green blood dyed the swamp red.

Xiao Bei hugged Bei Li, carefully avoiding the corpse of the mud monster, and walked towards the edge of the swamp.

Bei Li's poison had been mostly resolved, and her complexion had regained some color. She looked at Xiao Bei and said, "Xiao Bei, you're so amazing!"

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, a sense of confidence rising in his heart.

He successfully led Beili out of this dangerous swamp.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the swamp, a strange aura enveloped them.

The surrounding scenery began to distort, the originally clear trees turned into blurred shadows, and the air was filled with a strange fragrance that made people dizzy.

"Be careful! It's an illusion!" Xiao Bei immediately became alert. He held Bei Li's hand tightly and urged his immortal power to try to dispel this strange power.

However, the power of illusion was stronger than he imagined.

The surrounding scenery kept changing, sometimes ferocious monsters appeared, sometimes beautiful fairyland appeared, and sometimes scenes they had experienced before appeared...

Xiao Bei tried hard to stay awake. He knew that all this was fake, an illusion created by the illusionist.

He hugged Beili tightly, warming her with his body temperature and comforting her with his voice.

"Don't be afraid, Beili, this is all fake..."

However, the illusions became more and more real and more and more terrifying.

Xiao Bei felt his consciousness begin to blur, and his body began to lose control...

"Xiao Bei... I... I'm so scared..." Bei Li's voice trembled, and she grabbed Xiao Bei's sleeve tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Xiao Bei gritted his teeth and tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see everything around him clearly, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier...

"Beili... remember... don't..." Xiao Bei's voice grew weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared into the mist...

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li screamed in fear. She stretched out her hand, trying to grab Xiao Bei, but her hand was empty...
