Chapter 705 - 399: Corpse Lotus
The Golden Core cultivators in the space were attacking the foul-smelling roots with all their might, trying to prevent the roots from entangling them.
Every time the foul-smelling roots were attacked, they would explode and release a cloud of poison mist. More and more roots exploded, filling the space with an increasing amount of poisonous mist.
The Golden Core cultivators soon discovered that with their attacks, the poison mist from the burst roots had now filled the space above the water surface.
No matter what method they used to try and disperse the poison mist, the entire space was already saturated with it, leaving no room to clear it away.
The intense poison made contact with the spiritual power shields, making a ’ssss’ noise that was very clear in the quiet space.
The spiritual power shields were being depleted at an alarmingly fast rate, and it was clear they wouldn’t hold out much longer, not to mention there were still foul-smelling roots reaching out.
The first Golden Core cultivator, weaker than the rest, was entangled by the foul-smelling roots. His spiritual power shield hadn’t been completely depleted yet, but as soon as the roots wrapped around him, they became extremely tough and no longer burst open like before with a single strike.
"No, save me!" the Golden Core cultivator screamed in agony as he was dragged into the water, and his screams quickly faded away.
After the first one, there came a second, and a third.
These Golden Core cultivators, who were considered a central force in the Cultivation World, were dragged into the water one by one by the foul-smelling roots without being able to unleash even a tenth of their strength in such an environment.
