Chapter 1974: Darkness Translator: Legge “That person actually went over!” “What’s going on? How did he rush out earlier on?” “I didn’t see it clearly. It was as though he teleported over. What’s his background?” When the crowd around the lake saw that, a commotion broke out. The fat and skinny old men had grim expressions as well. Even with their eyesight, they could not see clearly how Su Zimo managed to break through the obstruction of the Scarlet Black Squid and arrive on the lone island. “This lad is rather capable,” The skinny old man sent a voice transmission to the fat old man. “If that lad can really pluck the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, hehe…” The fat old man did not continue and merely laughed with a fervent gaze and an excited expression. Above the lone island. Su Zimo controlled the Roc wings and descended slowly, releasing his spirit consciousness to check out the situation on the island. As though she sensed something, Tang Ziyi struggled and distanced herself from Su Zimo hurriedly, lowering her head in silence. “I owe you another favor again,” A moment later, Tang Ziyi spoke. Initially, she had already returned Su Zimo a favor. However, she now owed him another not long after. Tang Ziyi was a little flustered. She had a stubborn personality and was extremely headstrong, not willing to owe anyone a favor. Initially, she wanted to repay this person’s kindness as soon as possible and have nothing to do with him anymore. However, for some reason, her relationship with his person was entangled and she fell even deeper within. “It’s fine,” Su Zimo replied casually, “My target is the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng as well. I merely saved you in passing earlier on. Don’t take it to heart.” Tang Ziyi clenched her fists slightly. The more Su Zimo said that, the more she could not let it go. “There’s something strange about this island. Be careful,” Su Zimo’s voice sounded once more, causing Tang Ziyi’s heart to skip a beat as she calmed down from her thoughts. The Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng was located in the center of the island. Out of caution, Su Zimo descended at the edge of the lone island. However, after he descended on the lone island, the Eyeless Fishes and Scarlet Black Squid did not chase after him. The Scarlet Black Squid was extremely furious and slapped the lake with its hundreds of tentacles, creating massive waves. However, that demon beast did not dare to approach the lone island at all! Yet, when Su Zimo released his spirit consciousness and scanned the lone island, he did not discover any other life. “Strange,” Su Zimo murmured softly and walked carefully in the direction of the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. Tang Ziyi followed behind as well. There were many bushes on the island that were as tall as a person. Before long, the two of them disappeared from the line of sight of many cultivators. The island was not big. However, out of caution, Su Zimo took two hours to reach the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. The two of them did not encounter any danger the entire time! Su Zimo stopped a hundred feet away from the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng and did not continue approaching. Through the bushes in front of him, he could see an immortal ginseng the size of an infant’s arm. It shone with seven rays of light and had a domineering Spirit Qi, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance! “There doesn’t seem to be any danger?” Tang Ziyi said softly. “Something’s not right,” Su Zimo’s expression turned grim. Although he did not discover any danger in the vicinity and his spirit perception did not even warn him, he felt that something was amiss. Su Zimo scanned his surroundings a few times but still found nothing. “What sort of an environment can nurture a treasure like the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng?” Suddenly, Su Zimo asked. Tang Ziyi said, “This is a legendary immortal herb. I’m not really sure, but the amount of energy required to nurture such an utmost treasure is unimaginable.” “There’s nothing special about this lone island and I can’t see anything unique about it either. I wonder how it managed to nurture such an immortal herb.” Su Zimo pondered for a moment but could not think of a reason. Tang Ziyi said, “Why don’t I go get it? If I can pluck it, I’ll give it to you.” Su Zimo glanced sideways and his heart skipped a beat. Although Tang Ziyi did not say it explicitly, she merely wanted to return him a favor. “I’ll go,” Su Zimo smiled gently. He had some treasures and many trump cards. Even if he encountered any danger, he would have a chance to escape. Taking a deep breath of air, Su Zimo pushed aside the bushes in front of him and walked slowly towards the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. 90 feet. 70 feet. 50 feet… The closer Su Zimo was to the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng, the more nervous he became. However, there was no activity around him and it was frighteningly quiet! In the blink of an eye, Su Zimo was only 30 feet away from the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. There was still no danger. Not daring to be careless, Su Zimo maintained his vigilance and continued to approach slowly. 10 feet! As long as he took two more steps, the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng would be within reach! Su Zimo became excited as well and took a step forward. Right then, a change happened! The surrounding space seemed to tremble! Immediately after, an extremely pure and cold power spread out around the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng. To Su Zimo, the void before him was like a blank piece of paper with a drop of pitch-black ink. Thereafter, the ink spread and extended continuously. Su Zimo’s eyes widened. The darkness extended and devoured everything in its surroundings. The bushes around the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng were swept by the darkness and vanished completely, becoming a part of it! As though they sensed something, the many Eyeless Fishes as well as the Scarlet Black Squid, burrowed into the depths of the lake and disappeared. Even the lake water could not withstand the pressure. The waves that were surging earlier on calmed down in the blink of an eye! “Look!” Someone pointed to the lake and exclaimed. The entire lake seemed to have been splashed with thick ink and turned pitch-black, emitting a cold aura that was sinister! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 On the lone island. Su Zimo’s feet seemed to have fallen into a swamp and he could not move at all. When he saw the darkness surging towards him and his spirit perception warning him, Su Zimo released his Extreme Speed divine power and condensed the Roc wings. Even so, he could not escape. It was as though his body had fallen into a bottomless abyss and he could not break free no matter how he struggled! His spirit consciousness moved and he wanted to summon the Hell Suppression Tripod. However, his spirit consciousness seemed to have been devoured by the darkness and lost connection with the Hell Suppression Tripod! He could not release the True Dragon Nine Flashes and many other secret skills. Su Zimo could only watch helplessly as the darkness ahead surged over. “Su Zimo!” Tang Ziyi’s exclamation sounded from behind. “Don’t come over!” Su Zimo roared. Anyone who came forth would be trapped in such a situation! When the darkness swept over, Su Zimo’s extended right leg was the first to make contact. Su Zimo lowered his head and his pupils constricted in disbelief. His right foot was the first to disappear after being swept by the darkness. There was no pain. There was no blood. However, Su Zimo knew clearly that his right foot was gone! That was because he could not feel his right foot at all! His flesh and bones were gone, devoured completely by the darkness and became a part of it! Immediately after was his calf. The darkness devoured at an extremely fast speed and the next moment, Su Zimo’s entire right leg vanished!
