Chapter 1006: Chapter 619: Seriously, Hao Datong’s Miserable Fate

In the Poison Swamp, although Hao Datong resolved to stay hidden for a hundred years before emerging, he was still a human, and curiosity never lacked.

Before, while busy plotting within the Demon Slaying Sect, he rarely had time alone, without thinking about anything, allowing him to focus on observing his surroundings.

And with this observation, surprisingly, Hao Datong stumbled upon something good.

Not far from his hiding spot, there was a place where bubbles emerge every night.

In theory, the swamp, filled with decaying plants and animals, generates swamp gas that breaks through the swamp’s muddy surface and appears at the top, which is quite common.

But the place discovered by Hao Datong had something different.

Firstly, bubbles only emerge at night from this location. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Secondly, the bubbles gave Hao Datong a very comfortable feeling.

There must be treasure inside.

Hao Datong was quite certain.

However, whether the treasure would affect his spirit, or the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree he inhabited, Hao Datong couldn’t discern.

Of course, it was also possible that it would benefit both the spirit and the ancient tree.

Yet, although he knew there was treasure below, Hao Datong had previously sworn to himself that this time, no matter what happened, he absolutely would not take risks or easily leave his current location.

Otherwise, if he moved and happened to be seen by the passing Lu Lin, he would be greatly disadvantaged.

Though unfamiliar with Murphy’s Law, Hao Datong strongly repressed his impulses, as he had to be extremely careful and cautious to possibly survive.

Yet now, Hao Datong no longer wanted to endure.

Last night, bubbles emerged from that spot again, and Hao Datong felt his spirit restored somewhat.

He could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.

Then a cloud covered the night light, and Hao Datong moved the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree branch closer to the bubbling spot.

No one noticed.

He then moved a bit further.

Still, no one noticed.

Finally, when Hao Datong moved to the side of the hole, finding nothing unusual, his heart relaxed.

Tonight, soon it’s bubble time again.

Hao Datong thought, since he’s already here, why not go a step further?

First, absorb the bubbles that would greatly assist him, and then explore further below to see what good things exist.

Judging by the sky, it’s a dark windy night, thick clouds covering the light in the sky.

Heaven’s Gift.

Hao Datong felt extremely delighted.

He felt as if he had the legendary luck physique, finding chances suitable for himself wherever he went.

If not for Lu Lin’s previous destruction, he might have already absorbed everything given by the Soul Droplet Ancient Tree, and possibly regained his ability, maybe even directly attacking General Mountain then.

Now encountering a treasure that releases a bubble so refreshing, truly heaven hasn’t forsaken him.

But...

Suddenly Hao Datong harbored a worry.

Tonight, could he encounter the unlucky fellow Lu Lin again...?

No, no, he absolutely won’t encounter him, Hao Datong hypnotized himself.

Now, the sky was darkening, and Hao Datong observed the sky around for a First Stage, confirming no anomalies before feeling a little relieved.

"Gurgle."

"Gurgle."

Below Hao Datong’s location, a bubble was constantly, slowly, yet steadily, upwards steaming.

Hao Datong focused fully, and upon hearing this sound, his face revealed a smile.

"Here it comes."

It seemed slow to recount, but before and after it took merely a minute for the bubble to surge from the bottom of the swamp, and Hao Datong, without much hesitation, directly absorbed the nourishing energy that scattered into the air after the bubble burst.

"Ah, refreshing!"

Fresh as if reborn, Hao Datong indulged in this state for a long time before recovering.

Though he had absorbed it several times, every gas absorption made him feel irresistible.

Just when Hao Datong absorbed the breath, Lu Lin, coincidentally approaching nearby, also felt this power.

It was just a trace overflow, but it also gave Lu Lin a refreshing feeling.

What is this?

Compared to Hao Datong, Lu Lin has soul power cultivation reaching four transformations, allowing him to quickly depart from this state.

His expression quickly changed.

Not good.

This scent is not beneficial to humans; it contains an illusion-inducing component, causing one to feel euphoric after inhaling the gas, and expect to absorb more of such energy.

Drug?

In his mind, Lu Lin instantly came up with these two words.

Knowing that Lu Lin, born under the red flag, once swore to utterly oppose drugs and gambling, how could he not recognize or understand some drug-related knowledge?

With the sensation this breath gave him, Lu Lin could nearly unmistakably confirm, this is a drug or something extremely similar.

Moreover, with his soul power cultivation at four transformations, having a trace of indulgence upon absorption, what if one’s soul power cultivation were weaker?

No, must investigate what exactly this is.

Lu Lin’s expression was serious.

Just right, the direction indicated by the Guiding Star Skill also happened to include Hao Datong below, perhaps both matters could be resolved together.
