Chapter 357 - Swamp Mud Monkey

“What happened in the Ghost Swamp this time?” Sphek cursed angrily. It wasn’t his fault.

They had been to the ghost swamp many times.

Although they hadn’t found the exit of the ghost swamp, they had basically explored some areas of the ghost swamp.

At least they could figure out which areas were dangerous and which were safe.

As long as they didn’t intentionally seek death, they would head to those dangerous areas and stay in safe areas obediently. With the two divine artifacts in their hands, there basically wouldn’t be any problems.

Otherwise, with their current strength, how could they have survived until now?

Originally, they had entered the ghost swamp to complete the mission as soon as possible so they could return to their own territory to cultivate. As usual, they chose a safe place and then quietly waited for time to pass.

Who knew why this time, even in their safe place, many swamp creatures began to appear, causing them to flee in panic.

“Squeak squeak!”

A strange sound rang out, and the faces of everyone on the wooden ship began to change drastically.

This strange sound came from under the swamp, and it seemed to be very close to the wooden ship.

“It’s coming!” At the stern of the ship, Spicer stared at the swamp without blinking. Drops of cold sweat dripped down his cheeks and landed on the wooden ship.

Ripples spread from the stern to the swamp behind.

Suddenly, Spicer caught a glimpse of a ripple that was spreading outward in a fan-shaped pattern. His nerves were extremely tense, and he started punching at the swamp.

Dozens of punches landed, and the mud in the swamp scattered in all directions, directly creating a hollow hole. Not long after, the surrounding mud began to gradually fill up the hole.

However, other than the scattered mud, there was nothing else.

“Squeak! Squeak!” At this moment, a sound rang out around the wooden boat. Sphynx tilted his head, extended a hand from the swamp, and placed it on the wooden boat.

This hand was very thin and weak, like the arm of a five or six-year-old child. However, it was covered with dense hair.

As the arm was covered by the mud in the swamp, the hair on the arm was mixed with the mud, making it look particularly awkward.

The moment they saw this arm, everyone on the ship was shocked. At this moment, they did not dare to relax at all. They all attacked without conserving any strength. One after another, attacks surged towards the creature beside the wooden ship that had stretched out its hand to touch the ship.

“Squeak!”

Perhaps it realized the ferocity of the attack, the creature let out a squeak and sank into the swamp. No one knew if the attack had hit it.

Seeing the muddy hand sink into the swamp, Sphynx did not relax. He stared at the surface of the swamp, where the creature had grabbed, a gap appeared in the protective barrier of the wooden boat.

“Has it really reached its limit?” Spicer muttered to himself. Normally, with the defensive capabilities of the wooden boat, even if the corpse sharks at the bottom of the swamp attacked, they would not be able to leave a single mark on the barrier.

But now, not only was the barrier of the wooden boat shattering inch by inch, but under the attack of that thing, the wooden boat was about to fall apart.

After sweeping his gaze across the swamp surrounding the wooden boat, he did not discover the figure of that thing. However, he did not dare to lower his guard. From the looks of it, the thing under the swamp was definitely still nearby.

“Gulp! ! !”

As expected, at this moment, a series of bubbles appeared in the swamp behind the wooden boat. One after another, the swamp began to churn, as though a small volcano had appeared in the swamp.

Then, a skinny figure drilled out from the crater. It looked like a monkey, but this monkey was covered in mud.

Following that, a dorsal fin slowly appeared under the strange monkey, lifting it up.

The moment he saw the dorsal fin, he narrowed his eyes and shouted to the people behind him, “Quick, quick, that thing is summoning the corpse shark again.”

“Squeak Squeak!” However, no matter what he said, the mud monkey sitting on the back of the corpse shark suddenly grinned and squeaked.

This action caused a lot of mud on the mud monkey’s body to fall off, revealing the rotten meat underneath.

As the mud monkey’s voice fell, the previously calm swamp gradually became lively.

One by one, the dorsal fins broke out of the swamp and flew towards the small wooden boat that was running on the swamp. These dorsal fins were basically only left with white bones, and there was still a little rotten meat attached to them.

Corpse shark!

The cry of the mud monkey directly summoned 20 corpse sharks. This scene caused everyone’s expressions to change drastically.

If it was before, they would naturally not be afraid of the attacks of these corpse sharks. However, the situation now was completely different.

Under the attack of the mud monkey, the wooden boat under their feet was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, the blue barrier formed by the water-blue Crystal Ball was already densely packed with cracks.

All of this was caused by the attack of the mud monkey. In fact, everyone on the wooden boat knew that if the mud monkey had attacked personally, the wooden boat they were on would not have lasted until now.

However, the mud monkey had always acted as if it was playing, and they were his toys. Just like now, after breaking the wooden boat’s barrier, it drove the corpse sharks in the swamp to attack continuously. It sat on the corpse shark and watched all of this from afar.

It jumped up and down on the corpse shark, occasionally squeaking, like a spectator watching a show.

Although being played like a monkey was an extremely shameful thing for Sphynx, if not for this, his group of people would not have survived until now.

Suddenly, the wooden boat jolted and almost threw everyone off the boat.

“What are you doing, Boros?” Sphynx said after knocking away a corpse shark.

When he turned around, he realized that their wooden boat had already approached the Black Forest. The jolt was the result of the wooden boat hitting the tree roots.

Everyone on the wooden boat was overjoyed. As long as they reached land, they would be able to get rid of the endless corpse sharks.

“We can’t relax yet. The more we reach this point, the more we have to be careful. We have to prevent those things from going all out,”Sphynx reminded.
