The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2444 Life and Death in a Moment

His hands stopped in mid-air, and the action of touching the gray-brown gas was interrupted by the sudden sound.

Matthew's brows frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes.

Without turning his head, Matthew, with his keen perception, had already seen that the blood-colored mist that had gradually faded away was now gathering again.

The blood-colored mist seemed to be pouring out from every corner of the cave, continuously converging in this direction.

Moreover, the blood-colored mist did not simply gather, but rolled in continuously.

Their rolling is like surging waves, one layer after another, one after another.

It seemed as if behind the blood-colored mist, there was some powerful force pushing them forward, causing them to sweep towards where Matthew and the Man-God King were with an irresistible momentum.

In just a few breaths, the blood-colored mist had completely covered the place where Matthew and the Goblin King were.

The mist that originally seemed a little thin was now like a thick curtain, covering the entire area in a hazy blood-red color.

However, strangely, although Matthew's body was shrouded in the blood-colored mist, the gray-brown gas emitted from the Man-God King was able to block the blood-colored mist.

The gray-brown gas was like an invisible barrier, separating the space where the Man-God King was from the blood-colored fog outside.

At this moment, in the entire cave, only the Man-Ximal King was not disturbed by the blood-colored fog because of the existence of this layer of gray-brown gas.

The gray-brown gas continued to roll and surge, emitting a mysterious aura, as if telling of the special power it possessed.

What surprised Matthew even more was that the blood-colored mist that appeared this time clearly carried a strong corrosive power.

Although the clothes he was wearing were torn into pieces, it was still a magic weapon of good quality and still had a certain defensive power.

However, in the face of this corrosive blood-colored mist, the clothes are now suffering from erosion.

The fabric of the clothes began to make a "hissing" sound under the erosion of the blood-colored mist.

The sound was like a slight tearing sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent cave.

As time went by, tiny holes began to appear on the clothes, as if they had been gnawed by countless tiny insects.

His exposed skin also felt a stinging pain.

The stinging sensation was like being pricked by countless tiny needles, coming in waves, causing him to frown involuntarily.

Matthew could feel the corrosive power in the blood-colored mist seeping into his skin bit by bit, making him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis.

Matthew knew that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to delay for even a second and immediately walked quickly to the side of the Goblin King.

He stood beside the Man-God King, scanning the blood-colored mist around him vigilantly, trying to find out why the mist suddenly became so dangerous.

The blood-red fog around was getting thicker and thicker, covering everything and making it almost impossible to see the surrounding scenery.

After approaching the Man-God King, Matthew became extremely cautious.

He first squatted down slowly, his eyes never leaving the Man-God King.

Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, which stayed in the air for a moment before gradually approaching the shoulder of the Man-God King.

Matthew knew very well that although the previous attempt to connect to the mind of the Man-God King had failed, in this seemingly desperate situation, every glimmer of hope should not be given up.

This sudden series of changes might contain the key factors that could turn the situation around, so he still holds a glimmer of hope, hoping to find clues to solve the problem from the Man-God King.

However, when his hand was about to touch the Goblin King, the situation suddenly changed.

His hand clearly felt a resistance coming from the body of the Man-God King, but the defensive resistance formed by the dangerous aura that permeated the surroundings.

This force formed an invisible barrier between his hand and the Man-Man King, preventing him from further contact with the Man-Man King.

At this moment, the blood-colored mist that was originally swirling around him changed suddenly.

They seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, quickly gathering and deforming, and finally turning into a bloody monster. The monster was huge and exuded a strong bloody smell.

As soon as the blood-colored monster took shape, it pounced towards Matthew.

It came at an extremely fast speed, bringing up a gust of wind that stirred up the surrounding air.

Faced with this sudden change, Matthew's eyes suddenly fixed and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The moment the monster pounced, he kicked it out without hesitation.

The monster obviously had no consciousness at all, and its actions were just following some instinct.

So, facing Matthew's kick, it did not make any evasive moves and continued to rush straight towards Matthew.

"puff!"

After Matthew kicked the monster in the body, his kick actually went straight through the monster's body, as if it was nothing but air.

The monster was not affected at all and rushed directly in front of Matthew.

This situation shocked Matthew.

He had never experienced such a bizarre situation, and for a moment his heart was filled with confusion and uneasiness.

Fortunately, long-term practice has enabled him to develop the habit of remaining calm in the face of emergencies. Although he was frightened in his heart, his body reacted quickly and he retracted his feet and stepped back.

But his movements were still a step slower.

As he retreated, the bloody monster rushed in front of him like a shadow.

At such a close distance, Matthew could almost feel the strange aura coming from the monster and the fishy smell coming towards him.

The stench seemed to corrode the human soul and made him feel nauseous.

Although he knew that his attacks would most likely be ineffective against the monster, Matthew would not just sit there and wait to die.

He quickly recalled his past combat experiences, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this critical moment.

As he retreated, Matthew quickly raised his arms and immediately blocked them in front of him, forming a simple defensive posture.

However, the result was the same. The monster didn't even pause, it pierced through his arms and rushed towards his body.

Just as the monster's claws pierced Matthew's body, a wisp of gray-brown gas suddenly appeared.

This wisp of gas appeared without any warning, as if it suddenly surged out from the void.

The gas was extremely fast, and with just one roll, it tightly wrapped around the monster's arms.

The entanglement was so powerful that the monster let out a sharp roar.

Immediately afterwards, the monster's body began to tremble violently, and then, bound by the gray-brown gas, it disappeared instantly.

Matthew saw clearly that the monster had been pulled into the gas released by the Man-God King.

The moment the monster disappeared, the gray-brown gas seemed to become thicker, enveloping everything around it.

Seeing this, Matthew also breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene just now was so thrilling that he really felt the long-lost feeling of death.

Every moment seems to be lingering on the edge of life and death, and the slightest carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.

He subconsciously used his hand to wipe away the clothes on his back that were already soaked with sweat. At this time, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

In this life-and-death moment, the body was tense to the extreme. Now that the danger is temporarily lifted, the tension in the body slowly dissipates.

Fortunately, after the monster appeared, the fog around it became thinner. Although the fog still retained its corrosive power, he was able to temporarily withstand it with his strong body.

Matthew stood there, his eyes fixed on the gray-brown gas, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Surprise, relief, and confusion mixed together in his heart.
