Chapter 764 The purer, the less resistance
After they entered the swamp, they understood why Zhong Ran and the other two had stopped walking earlier.
The pressure beneath the swamp is much greater than the pressure in the water.
Each of them was still holding a weapon. The lighter weapons were fine, but the heavy weapons added to the pressure, making them sink even deeper, almost to the point that their heads were about to sink, and they could only desperately tilt their heads back to breathe.
Moreover, heavy weapons face even greater resistance in the swamp, making them completely unable to move.
Of course, those armed with light weapons were also unable to move.
Just now, Mu Jinning and Zhong Ran and the others stayed for quite a while before they could adjust.
Moreover, they simply cannot calm their minds.
Why? Because there are man-eating crocodiles in the swamp.
You don't know where they are, or when they will appear from somewhere and devour you whole.
This unknown terror, like a shadow, creeps into the mind, causing immense torment to cultivators.
Even though they tried hard to calm themselves down and quickly settle down to cultivate, they couldn't do it.
Lou Ying and the others were all together, so that if there was any real danger, they could help each other.
They were also wary of each other, looking around cautiously, not daring to move easily.
This is also because they haven't adapted to the swamp yet and can't move around.
"Everyone, calm down."
Yu Yingying's unique voice gently entered their ears, carrying a soothing power that inexplicably calmed them down.
"There are no real man-eating crocodiles in the swamp. Believe me, they are all fake."
When these mermaids arrive in such places, they can easily get into the zone, and they have their own unique methods of sensing.
The water before wasn't real water, and the swamp here isn't actually a real swamp either.
But this test is so real that even a genius like Zhong Ran is not immune to being trapped here.
"Close your eyes, clear your mind, and silently recite your cultivation technique."
"The purer your heart, the less pressure you will feel."
Yu Yingying's gentle words gradually calmed everyone down.
They no longer feared the swamp, no longer feared the man-eating crocodiles lurking in the shadows, and no longer even cared about the people around them.
They let go of everything and became pure.
It's easier said than done.
Some people are unable to get into the zone and wake up again and again.
They glanced at their friends with some distress, and seeing that they were still trying, they closed their eyes again.
Upon seeing this, the mermaid geniuses, including Yu Yingying, Yi Junlan, and Yi Li, softly uttered a light and melodious sound.
The sound didn't travel far; it was only heard within their circle of about twenty people.
We've been through so much together, helping and supporting each other, and we've developed a strong bond.
They were all like brothers and sisters, which is why they were willing to lend a helping hand to Yun Tianyu and the others.
It's fair to say that without their previous enthusiastic help, these merfolk might have simply ignored them.
As that magical sound entered their ears, each of them miraculously calmed down and gradually cleared their minds.
Then, as if drawn by a force, they walked forward step by step, as leisurely as if strolling in their own backyard.
After they all walked over, Yu Yingying and the other mermaids followed.
Their mermaid clan has lived in seclusion for many years, making them far more pure than the cultivators outside.
In other words, they came out with Zhong Ran and the others, and after they came out, they changed their appearance and tried their best to conceal their aura in front of those experts and seniors.
Otherwise, they might have already fallen into the hands of human cultivators and been tortured and forced to endure it every day.
The group bypassed all the cultivators and followed Zhong Ran and his two companions at a distance.
Because they all had their eyes closed and weren't looking around, man-eating crocodiles would still occasionally rush out and attack them.
But they were completely unaware of their surroundings and wouldn't respond unless they sensed a deadly danger.
After the man-eating crocodiles pounced on them, they vanished like phantoms.
Some people, after witnessing this scene, gradually came to understand.
All of this is just an illusion.
This is much easier to handle.
Even so, because my mind was disturbed beforehand, it wasn't easy to quickly clear my mind.
It seems that something invisible is always influencing them, making it difficult for them to clear their minds.
From time to time, illusions of earth spikes would appear and disturb them.
Geniuses are geniuses because they are superior to ordinary people in every aspect.
After realizing that these were all illusions, they gradually calmed down, cleared their minds, and then slowly dragged their weapons forward.
Although dragging their weapons increased the weight, they didn't know what dangers they might encounter later, so they were reluctant to give up their weapons.
Ah Sheng killed many man-eating crocodiles along the way. Although they were illusions, he still had a great time fighting them.
Mu Jinning had recovered and opened her eyes to take a look.
"Ah Sheng, aren't you tired from hitting him?"
Because the space was unusable, he hadn't eaten for several days.
"Hehe, I'm not hungry."
Ah Sheng laughed and said, "I haven't been hungry since I ate the fruit earlier."
Mu Jinning understood. Indeed, those were all spiritual fruits, so they were naturally extraordinary.
Of all the people who came here this time, Ah Sheng probably received the most benefits.
"Those are all fake, ignore them."
Ah Sheng shook his head: "That won't do, you'll want to hit me as soon as you see me."
His action was entirely subconscious, and I believe that many people, not just him, would be unable to resist taking action when faced with such a realistic illusion.
Mu Jinning stopped talking and instead looked around curiously.
It was still a large swamp, the surrounding mud swaying gently as they walked, emitting a foul stench; everything felt so real.
But now, he could sense that the earth elemental energy here was extremely rich.
He originally had an earth elemental root, so this feeling was even more pronounced.
Mu Jinning looked at Zhong Ran beside her; she was still walking slowly with her eyes closed.
But he sensitively sensed that streams of pure spiritual energy were drilling into Zhong Ran's body.
This situation is extremely strange, because everyone's spiritual power is sealed. Even if the spiritual energy here is rich, even if you cultivate, you cannot absorb it.
But Zhong Ran could.
These spiritual energies actively burrowed into her, as if something about her was attracting them.
What attracts them?
He suddenly remembered the Earth Source Bead on Zhong Ran's body.
He had heard Zhong Ran say that the Earth Source Pearl was injured when it came into her possession. It was a dull gray bead, and she couldn't sense any spiritual energy in it.
Xiao Ding said that she just needs to take good care of herself to recover slowly.
This will gradually become very interesting.
How long will it take to reach this "slowly" state it mentioned?
It could be ten years, a hundred years, or even tens of thousands of years.
But, if it is nurtured properly in a place rich in earth elemental energy, will it recover faster?
Actually, it's quite strange that the Source Pearl could get injured.
