Chapter 348 - Fatal Blow

“Now could you tell us your true motive!” Once he had made up his mind, Jerry would not hesitate and spoke directly to his face.

Meanwhile, Brada could not make Jerry and the others hesitate. To be honest, it did not even matter if they killed him right now.

“What did you say?” Brada did not expect the other party would try to clarify things at this time. After all, the situation they were facing now was extremely dangerous. Logically speaking, they should be united.

If they cleared things now, no matter what the outcome would be, there would be a gap in their hearts. It was not conducive for their survival in this Ghost Swamp.

Cold sweat was dripping down from Brada’s forehead. As Jerry’s voice fell, whether it was Simmons or Apollo, all of them looked at him with a strange and hostile look.

It seemed that as long as Jerry looked, these people would pounce on him like fierce tigers and tear him into pieces.

Along the way, the Sky Dynasty’s group had detected Brada’s problem because he was not trying to hide it at all. After all, as long as they entered the Ghost Swamp, he was certain that the people from the Sky Dynasty would not do anything to him.

Anyway, he was the only one who knew the Ghost Swamp very well.

Brada had the upper hand. Despite this, he did not expect Jerry to confront him. Looking at him, there was no doubt that Jerry would directly make a move.

Perhaps the strange fish was already a relatively powerful existence in this swamp, or perhaps the earlier commotion was too big, attracting some of the creatures in the swamp to that area.

The current area they were in had a rare bit of peace.

A few duckweeds floated quietly on the swamp, and a few drops of water rolled down from them like pearls.

Meanwhile, Brada’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat, which slid down his cheeks and fell into the grass on the ground. The water drops fell from the leaves, just like Brada’s heart that was constantly sinking.

“Sky Emperor, I had been doing my best to lead the way and was always in front of the team. I had no other intentions!” Brada bowed his head slightly. He expressed that he did not have any ill intentions, at the same time, he emphasized that he was the only one who was familiar with the situation here.

Now that everyone was facing danger, the other party would know that it was not the time for internal strife if they thought about it.

“This was also the reason why we were tolerating you even though we knew that you had other motives. Would you believe that along the way, if you revealed even a little bit of other intentions, or even do anything that could endanger us, you won’t be alive right now,” Jerry looked at Brada with a straight face and an emotionless tone.

Hearing that, Brada trembled. He did not expect that the danger he was facing came from the people whom he was leading and not from the Ghost Swamp. Looking at Jerry’s expression, Brada did not doubt the authenticity of what Jerry had said. Jerry was not threatening him but was talking about a very common thing.

“As for leading the way, were you referring to the traces you had left on the ground?”

Jerry’s last sentence completely broke through Brada’s defense. At this moment, Brada’s face turned deathly pale. All along, he was the only one familiar with the situation in the Ghost Swamp to lead the way, because of this he would team up with Jerry and the others.

He firmly believed that the other party wouldn’t do anything to him, who was the guide. If the other party had already recognized the traces, then there was no need for him.

No, he was the only one who could recognize these special traces. Even his subordinates didn’t know the exact reason, not to mention that those people had died in this swamp.

How could the other party recognize it? Jerry was just trying to scare him.

Brada quickly calmed himself down and asked, “Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you meant. I had always wanted to bring you out of this Ghost Swamp!”

“Sigh! You wouldn’t shed tears until you see the coffin! If we want to get out of this Ghost Swamp, we should be going that way, not this way, right?”

Brada looked in the direction Jerry pointed at and was taken aback. The last trace of luck in his heart completely disappeared, because the direction Jerry pointed to was the route that they had paid a great price to find out. As for Jerry and the others, the newbies who had just entered the Ghost Swamp, how could they know?

In that case, the other party had used some kind of method to recognize the marks they had made on the road back then. This was the only explanation for it.

“Your Majesty, you were right! I was selfish, but I did not want to harm you!” Brada kneeled in front of Jerry as if he had accepted his fate.

“I know, or else you would not have survived until now,” Jerry nodded faintly. Whether it was the pills that were provided to them to resist the miasma at the beginning or the strange dried meat in the package that was later used to distract the swamp creatures that attacked them, regardless of what the other party’s intentions were it was all for the sake of advancing.

If it were not for Brada’s thorough preparations, they would not have been able to walk all the way here without much damage. Other than the strange fish that had mastered this domain at the bottom of the swamp, which surprised them a little, the Sky Dynasty’s group did not expend much divine power along the way.

And the strange fish that had mastered this domain was triggered by the manager, which was not within Brada’s expectations. If Brada could control the creatures under the swamp, then there was no need for them to form a team.

If that was the case, Jerry would run away without saying a word.

“Your Majesty, I would tell you everything. Before that, I would like to know one thing. How did you find those traces? There had been many people who entered the Ghost Swamp, but no one had ever found them. Sometimes, even I had to identify carefully to find them.”

“How did you discover it!” Brada raised his head. Jerry had discovered this secret on his first visit. This meant that either Jerry had some ability to analyze traces, or there was a fatal flaw in their technique, and it was a flaw that they did not know about.

If it was the former, it would be fine. At the very least, it meant that only the Sky Dynasty would be able to discover it. If it was the latter, it was possible that other trial-takers would be able to discover it and it could be a fatal blow to him.
