Chapter 336 - Something Doesn’t Seem Right

“Wait!”

“What’s wrong?” Hearing the voice from behind, Bulada suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Jerry, puzzled.

Along the way, under Bulada’s lead, the few of them did not encounter any major danger, and Jerry and the others did not say anything.

Bulada knew that Jerry and the rest must have some questions in their hearts. After all, he had traveled too quickly along the way, and he was so familiar with the surroundings that it was as if he had returned home.

This was already far beyond the understanding of an ordinary trial-taker of a maze.

It could be said that the situation was completely different from what he had said previously.

However, Jerry and the others did not ask a single question along the way. Originally, Bulada thought that they already knew that he was familiar with the situation of the maze and was happy to have a guide who was familiar with the situation, so he did not expose it.

Because of this, Bulada did not hide anything. As long as he could successfully obtain that item and save his wife, it did not matter anymore.

So it could be said that both sides maintained a tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned it, and neither of them took the initiative to explain.

But Bulada did not expect that the other party would raise an opinion at this time.

“Didn’t you notice anything wrong?” Jerry looked at the situation around him. The commotion in the swamp was getting louder and louder. A huge and ferocious dorsal fin swept across the swamp, thereby creating ripples.

“Yeah, I noticed it too. The creatures in the swamp wake up too quickly. Normally, as long as we don’t stay in one place for too long, these creatures will not wake up. They usually sleep in the swamp. If the commotion is small, it won’t wake them up.”

“And when I entered this maze in the past, there shouldn’t be such a powerful creature in the vicinity.” Bulada had long noticed that something was wrong.

In fact, when he saw the halo protecting Jerry and the others disappear, he knew that something was wrong. It could be said that this was the endless tower’s life-saving item for the rookies.

For the rookies who had entered the maze for the first time, without the protection of this halo, they would have died in the maze before they could even see the situation clearly. This time, it was because he was leading the team.

Hence, they had avoided quite a number of dangers along the way. Moreover, with their own reminder, their group had basically been careful along the way. However, even so, they had encountered quite a number of attacks from the creatures in the swamp.

At this moment, there was not much of the dried meat left in Bulada’s backpack. This was something that the pilgrim dynasty that Bulada belonged to had only discovered after paying a large number of casualties. This was the food that the creatures in the swamp liked.

In order to obtain this meat, Bulada had also paid a huge price.

However, he did not expect this to happen this time. On the other side, his heavily injured wife could not wait for much longer. This was also why he chose to walk forward even though he knew that there was a problem in the ghost swamp this time.

“If that’s the case, why didn’t you say so earlier?” asked Ares angrily. Even he had already noticed that something was wrong with Bulada, and now he could not hold it in any longer.

“That’s because there’s no point in saying it out loud. Now that things have already happened, we can only try our best to move forward. Staying where we are will only lead to death. Look, while we are talking, we have already been surrounded.” Bulada looked at the surrounding swamp with a solemn expression.

A few dorsal fins had already appeared in the swamp. These were only part of the bodies of the creatures under the swamp. At this moment, they were still carefully observing the situation of these people. Once they found an opportunity, they would face their attacks, this meant that these creatures already possessed some intelligence.

It was unlike when they first met the creatures in the swamp. Basically, when they discovered their tracks, they would immediately launch an attack from the swamp. Therefore, as long as Bulada threw out the specially prepared air-dried ones in the bag, it would be able to attract the attention of those fellows.

“It’s a corpse shark!” From its decaying dorsal fin, Bulada immediately recognized what was surrounding them. It looked a little like a shark, but its flesh and blood were completely rotten, which was full of rotting flesh.

But even so, these sharks were still able to survive in this swamp.

Bulada knew that the creatures in this swamp were basically like this. After all, the miasma in this swamp was extremely corrosive, and this miasma was produced from this swamp, it was enough to show just what kind of terrible environment this swamp was in.

Perhaps this was the ghost swamp. The creatures in this swamp could basically be said to be ghosts.

It was also because of this that these creatures did not feel any pain or fear, which was the most troublesome part. This meant that once these creatures targeted them, they would not rest until one of them died.

How could this be? Where had they just reached? How could a corpse shark appear? Bulada was already panicking. Corpse Sharks could be quite troublesome in this swamp.

Each corpse shark was at the mid-stage of the Tier 3 divine King Realm. Some of them had even reached the late-stage of the Tier 3 divine King Realm.

Most importantly, as they were creatures that lived in the swamp, they were also affected by some of the miasma’s functions, which could corrode and dissolve divine power.

Once they were touched by the flesh of the corpse sharks, they would directly infect the parts of the body that were touched. That part of the body would immediately be covered with a layer of corpse qi. If they did not take immediate measures, the corpse sharks would not be able to resist the miasma.

The corpse spots would gradually spread to your entire body, and in the end, your entire body would become like these terrifying monsters, only leaving a body of rotting flesh.

Therefore, the only way to deal with these things was to use divine power to repel these things from a distance.

Yes, repel!

One could only choose to repel. Perhaps it was because these things had already been transformed into rotting corpses by this swamp, so it was very difficult to kill them. Some people even discovered that even if they smashed these things into pieces. Once those pieces of meat returned to the swamp, they would be able to come back to life.

And when those pieces of meat fell on their bodies, it would bring about a new risk. Hence, the method they came up with was to use their powerful divine power to repel these things.

Just then, a series of muffled sounds rang out, and following that, the dorsal fins that had been exposed from the swamp actually sank into the swamp.

It was as though the corpse sharks had already left.

However, when he saw this scene, not only did he not relax, his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed:

“Oh no! They are about to launch an attack.”
