"He said it." Gu Chen smiled meaningfully.
Everyone's expressions changed immediately, and the craftsman couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?"
"Why should I tell you?" Gu Chen glanced at him coldly and said disdainfully.
The craftsman targeted him everywhere along the way, how could he be polite to him?
"you……"
The craftsman was furious and wanted to do it, but he was hindered by the layman Taohua from a distance looking over.
It is a taboo thing to do something to your companions during the task, it is unreasonable, and it will affect your promotion.
If he wanted to do it, he had to find the right time, so he could only endure it.
"Chen Daoyou, this is not interesting enough. You and I are all companions. We will cooperate next, so it's okay to talk to us?"
"You should ask Lay Taohua directly." Gu Chen said with a smile, Lay Taohua didn't disclose any mission information to him at all, what can he answer?
"He won't say it." The Storm girl said helplessly, this is really tantalizing.
"If he doesn't say it, he has his reasons. Anyway, he will know sooner or later. Why are you in a hurry?" Gu Chen said lightly, and then found a place to sit cross-legged and practice, ignoring everyone.
Everyone looked at each other for a moment, because Gu Chen's words had strange thoughts.
Layman Taohua disclosed the situation of the mission to Gu Chen in advance, but did not tell them, what does it mean?
Originally, everyone was not easy to be fooled, but Lay Taohua's previous reaction was really strange, which invisibly increased the credibility of Gu Chen's words.
Gu Chen practiced with his eyes closed, but he could also feel the weirdness of the atmosphere present, and secretly smiled in his heart.
He said that on purpose, just to make everyone suspect that Lay Taohua is wearing a pair of pants with him. As long as this idea is planted in their minds, they will subconsciously reject Lay Taohua.
As a result, Lay Taohua could only draw closer to himself.
Gu Chen casually set a trap for Lay Taohua, but unfortunately he was completely ignorant.
Enough rest, everyone continued to set off.
In less than half a day, everyone passed by the royal city of the wild fox clan.
As the capital of Ze Country, Yehu King City has neither the tall and wide city walls like Peidu, nor the majestic buildings.
The entire royal city is located in a swamp, surrounded by forests, and the city uses local materials, and there are wooden houses with unique shapes everywhere.
There is no wall defense around the royal city, replaced by a miasma unique to this swamp.
A large area of purple-gray miasma surrounds the royal city. Only the members of the wild fox clan are naturally immune to the poison of the miasma and can enter and leave the royal city freely.
If people from other ethnic groups want to enter and leave the royal city safely, they must be approved by the guards and take special anti-drug pills.
Of course, the mere miasma can only stop ordinary creatures and monks, and real masters will not be afraid at all.
There is a lot of people in the city of Wild Fox King, and even outside the city is quite lively, full of exotic customs.
It is a pity that Taohua layman did not make any stop when passing here, and continued to go deep into the swamp.
This scene made the ominous premonition in the hearts of the killers come true, and their destination was indeed the ancient swamp!
On the border between the country of Ze and the ancient great swamp, countless soldiers of the wild fox army gathered here, as if they were on guard against something.
From time to time, there will be rare and rare beasts fleeing in a hurry from the ancient swamp. There are a lot of them. Some belong to the toad clan, some belong to the crocodile clan, and some of them cannot tell what kind of race they are.
The ancient great swamp has a huge territory, coupled with the special internal environment, it has bred all kinds of strange races, even the most knowledgeable people in the world cannot fully identify them.
At this moment, on the border defense line of the Wild Fox Army, in the mud that has been piled up with rotting leaves all year round, the corpses of rare and exotic animals can be seen everywhere.
The corpses piled up like a mountain, exuding a monstrous stench, but the soldiers of the Wild Fox Army turned a deaf ear to them, with three steps, one post and five steps, one sentry, always guarding against the direction of the ancient great swamp.
"what happened?"
In the distance, a group of killers from Wuwang Pavilion stood on the canopy of an ancient tree, watching the battle at the border with surprise on their faces.
Gu Chen remembered the excuse that Zeguo gave when Peiguo asked Zeguo for help. Judging from the situation, what Zeguo said was not aimless. The ancient swamp is indeed not peaceful recently!
"In the past few months, there have been hordes of fleeing beasts in the Great Ancient Swamp many times, hitting the border of Ze Country, causing the Wild Fox Clan to face a formidable enemy." Layman Taohua looked in the direction of the Great Ancient Swamp and said.
"Fleeing? Those ethnic groups stayed well in the big swamp, but suddenly they fled on such a large scale. What is the reason? Could it be that the rumors are true and the curse really exists?" Tu Xiong said, with a look of fear.
"Curse? It is said that there is a mysterious and unknown curse in the ancient great swamp. Anyone who goes deep into it will be cursed and disappear strangely. When he reappears, he will turn into a corpse and appear outside the great swamp. His death is miserable."
"The rumors of this curse are only aimed at outsiders, and the curse has existed for a long time. How could it cause countless ethnic groups to flee at this time?"
Layman Taohua shook his head, denying Tu Xiong's guess.
"If it wasn't for the curse, why would the eyes of those fleeing beasts be full of fear, and they would kill themselves to hit the muzzles of the wild fox army?"
Everyone was wondering, all staring at Lay Taohua, realizing that their mission might be related to this.
"The truth of the matter is that a golden crocodile appeared in the ancient great swamp, killing wildly in the great swamp, which made the other ethnic groups flee." Taohua layman said, sighing.
Everyone's eyelids twitched. The environment of the ancient swamp was dangerous, and the races bred were generally not weak.
How powerful and terrifying is the golden crocodile that can make so many ethnic groups flee in fear?
"Our mission is not to assassinate that golden crocodile, is it?" the craftsman asked tentatively, the tone of layman Taohua really made people unable to stop thinking.
"That's right, that's exactly what we're here for!"
Lay Taohua did not deny it, and everyone's hearts sank.
Going deep into the dangerous ancient swamp, facing possible curses, and assassinating an unprecedentedly powerful golden crocodile, no wonder this task is rated as a dream!
"Who is the employer? What is the price? Isn't this asking us to die?" Storm Girl couldn't help but said, not understanding why Wuwang Pavilion would accept such a task.
No matter how dangerous the golden crocodile is, it is only confined to the ancient swamp, as long as it is avoided, there is no need to provoke it, so the employer is crazy, right?
Although Wuwang Pavilion has taken on various tasks, it has always assessed risks.
Quests like this are generally not accepted unless the reward is sky-high!
Moreover, even if it is picked up, a large-scale killer should be sent to deal with all kinds of dangers in the swamp. Why only send out six of them?
