Chapter Eleven: Harmony of Water and Fire

  Various plants were intertwined and formed into shapes of objects, such as an island made of coral trees, a table composed of fir trees, and a stool coiled from black walnut... Wang Long stared until his eyes blurred, shook his head, got up and walked towards a peach tree in front of him. After all, he was still hungry now.

  He plucked a big, round peach and took a big bite. "Pfft", the fist-sized peach sprayed out bright red juice, a refreshing feeling quickly spread to his limbs, and the taste was indeed extremely good.

  After eating the peaches, Wang Long ran to the side and picked a few bananas, pears, and oranges in his hand. Today he entered the Hundred Fruits Garden, so he would eat his fill first.

  Having tasted all sorts of fruits, Wang Long patted his round belly, now he should consider how to get out of this damned place. He had just escaped from the metal world and now came to this plant world. Wang Long felt extremely depressed, although the taste of these fruits was indeed much better than those outside, but seeing so many fruits everywhere would also make people feel annoyed after a while.

  Suddenly, Wang Long felt that all the trees in the entire plant world had moved, and they were all moving like humans. In an instant, Wang Long was trapped in a huge arena, surrounded by giant trees that stood in a large circle around him. The field was overgrown with thorns and weeds that reached his waist.

  Wang Long was thinking of moving around to find an exit, but just as he was about to take a step, he found that his feet were tightly entwined by the thorns and weeds, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.

  Just as Wang Long felt helpless, another strange change occurred. The green sky suddenly seemed to be firing a thousand arrows at once, with countless giant trees flying towards the position where Wang Long was standing, each trunk as thick as a bowl.

  Wang Long let out a low shout: "I'm doomed!" As he gazed at the giant logs hurtling towards him with a whoosh, Wang Long summoned all his strength and raised both hands to shield his head. First things first, protect his brain!

  When Wang Long raised his hands, the giant trees in the sky suddenly turned into strands of green smoke, entering from the center of his palms and rushing towards his dantian. The massive energy caused Wang Long's body to swell to over five meters tall in an instant, while the surrounding circular wood, thorns, and weeds on the ground all turned into strands of smoke that entered through his enlarged pores, which had grown a hundred times larger.

  Wang Long stared blankly at the strange phenomenon unfolding before him, unable to express his distress. He wanted to stop this suffocating feeling, but found himself powerless. Wang Long could only watch as his body continued to absorb the green mist, which swirled inside him like a metal circuit.

  It was only a process of less than a few minutes, but Wang Long felt like he had been through thousands of years of suffering. However, he still endured it and didn't faint because he wanted to see what would happen to him in the end.

  Finally, all the green plants around him turned into a green smoke that entered Wang Long's body. At this time, Wang Long was already eight meters tall, and the green gas inside his body kept circulating and compressing slowly into a thin line, similar in size to the metallic-colored gas, and running parallel to it within his body. Wang Long's height also gradually returned to normal at this time.

  Suddenly, Wang Long felt his feet tremble, as if he had fallen into quicksand and was slowly sinking in. In the darkness, countless suction forces were pulling him towards an unknown direction.

  Before his eyes lit up, Wang Long arrived in a world that was all water, but Wang Long did not feel suffocated. The air was water vapor, the sky was a water curtain, and even where he stood was an endless expanse of clear seawater. However, strangely enough, standing on the surface of the sea was as stable as being on land. Wang Long walked around in circles for a while, and really nothing happened.

  Wang Long was admiring the beautiful world made entirely of water when suddenly, the sea in front of him churned up a massive wave that rushed towards him with great momentum. Wang Long was shocked and quickly ran in the opposite direction, but every time he quickened his pace, the giant wave accelerated twice as fast. Before he could run a hundred steps, Wang Long was knocked to the ground by the towering wave and swept into the sky by the water curtain.

  Wang Long immediately felt a suffocating feeling, and the seven orifices and every pore on his body were squeezed out with threads of fresh blood, as if he was in a deep sea of tens of thousands of meters, that kind of pressure could simply crush Wang Long.

  Wang Long let out a loud, anguished roar of "Ah!", and with the sound, fresh blood gushed out even more wildly from his seven orifices and every pore on his body. Wang Long only felt a wave of dizziness after excessive blood loss.

  After the entire sky and earth had completely turned a deep crimson, Wang Long finally bled out and fainted. The water vapor in the entire sky and earth suddenly underwent a strange transformation after merging with Wang Long's blood, instantly transforming into a mass of bloody fog that flowed back through Wang Long's seven orifices and pores.

  Puti sat by the fire pit, feeling extremely happy. Finally, after a few more months, after the Witch God Conference, he would become the new generation of Witch Gods. Misang's daughter was in his hands, and at that time, she would definitely have to elect him; Ahqi's daughter had an affair with a wild boy from outside, and her reputation was now notorious, not worth worrying about, no one would choose him as the Witch God. As for Beixiang Village's Yuè Shí, she was just a woman, and couldn't pose any threat to him at all. Among the four gates, as long as one gate firmly supported him, then his position as Witch God was 100% secure. Thinking of this, Puti laughed maniacally with pride.

  Just as Pudi was gloating, a sudden commotion of footsteps came from outside. Pudi stood up in surprise, who was so bold and dared to make trouble on his own turf?

  Pu Ti opened the big gate and walked out, only to see that on the largest flat land in Dashan Village, it was surrounded by people. Pu Ti quickly walked over, parted the crowd, and saw his own son Yi Pu lying on the ground, with fresh blood spraying from his mouth, and his clothes disheveled. The people around were pointing and whispering, but when they saw Pu Ti coming, one by one they closed their mouths. Pu Ti loudly shouted: "What's going on here? Who hurt my son?"

  One of the men in black hastily ran to Pudi's front and said, "Leader, it was Ji Yue from Beixiang Village." Pudi roared, "Why did she make my son like this?" The man in black turned pale with fright and stammered, "Leader, I dare not say. I'm afraid that if Yipu Young Master wakes up, he will kill me."

  Pu Ti shouted: "Speak quickly, if you don't, I'll kill you right now." The man in black continued: "It's like this, leader. Today, Young Master Pu drank some wine and saw that Miss Ji Yue was very beautiful, so he went up to her and said he wanted Miss Ji Yue to drink with him. However, Miss Ji Yue and the young master disagreed, and they had a big fight. At first, Miss Ji Yue wasn't a match for the young master, but later, the young master was poisoned by Miss Ji Yue's gu insect poison and completely lost control. The young master was controlled all the way to our village market, where he molested over a dozen girls, knocked over several stalls, and kept cursing you, leader...

  Pu Tui's anger surged, this unfilial son, what has he done? His own face was lost by him outside, this matter may have a huge impact on his own witch god election in a few months. No, I must think of a way to make up for it.

  Pu Ti's face was unpredictable, and no one knew what he was thinking. The crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed, and Pu Ti suddenly shouted loudly: "Everyone, today my son has caused harm to you all here, I apologize to you all, in short, for the losses suffered by everyone today, I will compensate at the original price. My child had too much to drink today, please don't take it to heart, go find She Er to get the money."

  As soon as everyone heard, they cheered and dispersed, quickly heading towards Snake Er's home. Everyone knew that Snake Er was in charge of collecting protection fees for the gang, and although the gang often bullied people, no one dared to speak out against them. But today, with such a good opportunity, they went to demand more money.

  As everyone dispersed happily, Pu Tui's face suddenly turned very gloomy. He waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to carry the young master back to find a doctor. It seems that this tenth month is indeed a person of great importance. Today, her daughter actually bullied me in front of my head. It looks like I must give her a good show of color.

  Wang Long slowly regained consciousness, feeling extremely comfortable all over his body. In this space, Wang Long seemed to be transparent, and he could clearly see everything inside his own body. He discovered that at some point, a sky-blue gas had appeared in his body, slowly flowing through his meridians alongside the other two gases.

  Looking around, the place where he was now was completely a sea of fire, and his entire field of vision could only see the raging flames burning fiercely. A wave of heat made Wang Long suddenly sweat profusely. It was like being thrown into a furnace to be incinerated.

  The high temperature that could burn everything together instantly turned the clothes on Wang Long's body into flying ash. Just when Wang Long felt like he was about to collapse, a sky-blue mist suddenly burst out of his body and merged with the flames outside at a distance of one centimeter from his skin. Slowly but surely, more and more flames were drawn in, as if all the flames in the world had been attracted by the mist, forming a huge ball that surrounded Wang Long.
