Chapter 3997 Running

After the Treacherous Being drilled into him, Zen completely lost control of his body.

Like flowing water, the Treacherous Being drilled into every bone in Zen's body, assimilating itself into him.

Fortunately, the Treacherous Being did not invade his soul.

Helplessly, Zen watched as the Treacherous Being made him run haphazardly.

At some point, he ended up in the Blood Swamp.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

In its low-lying land, the Blood Swamp lived up to its name. Blood spurted and splashed everywhere.

As Zen ran uncontrollably, he tried communicating with his inner world.

"Primeval Lord of Heaven, where are we? Why is there blood everywhere?" Zen asked.

"This is the Blood Swamp," the Primeval Lord of Heaven answered. "It is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die here."

For Eternal Realm Hunters who were familiar with the Blood Swamp, this place might not have been so terrifying.

But to those who stumbled into it for the first time, the Blood Swamp was hell.

Underneath the surface of the blood-red puddles, there lived bright red leeches. They camouflaged perfectly with the scarlet blood, and it was difficult even for the spiritual sense to detect them.

Once they quietly latched themselves onto someone, they would release toxins that paralyzed their victims. Then, slowly, those bloodthirsty leeches would devour their victims' souls.

The most terrifying part was that, once they devoured the souls, they would occupy their victims' bodies for a while.

The Soul Leeches didn't have a mind of their own, but they instinctively moved their victims to the Worm Lizards.

The Blood Swamp also had a unique ecosystem.

The Worm Lizard was massive. It was on top of the food chain in the Blood Swamp.

Any creature that had the misfortune of stumbling across the nests of the Worm Lizards would be dragged into the darkness, never to see the light of day again.

However, the Worm Lizards couldn't leave their nests, so their range of movement was limited. Except for those who didn't know much about the Blood Swamp, all the creatures knew to avoid the Worm Lizards' nests. Therefore, they depended on the

rds, protecting his soul from being devoured by the Soul Leeches.

While the many human heroes took turns to attack, Zen's body suddenly stepped into a large pond.

To his surprise, he didn't sink. At the pace he was running, it was a piece of cake for him to walk on the water.

However, he had only taken a few strides forward when a massive head suddenly emerged from the water. It was a Worm Lizard's head. The pond was its nest!

Splash!

The huge Worm Lizard opened its big mouth and swallowed Zen in one gulp.

It was a creature in the Supreme Pure Realm, so it was far stronger than the creatures in the Grand Pure Realm.

The Worm Lizard had sensed Zen's presence long ago through those Soul Leeches, but it was very disappointed that Zen killed them off so easily.

However, to its delight, Zen came straight to its nest. Such good luck!

The Worm Lizard excitedly snapped its mouth shut and was sinking back into the pond when suddenly, cracks as thick as an arm appeared on the surface of its skull.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The cracks rapidly spread, causing the Worm Lizard to feel a little uneasy.

'What's going on here...' it thought confusedly.

When it finally realized that it was the human in its mouth that was causing the cracks, it was too late. Before it could even react, its head exploded into tiny pieces.

Zen emerged, unscathed, and continued sprinting across the pond as though nothing happened.
