C386 Island Fighting

A large number of warriors flew between the small islands in the Dead Swamp, forming a serpentine formation that stretched for more than a hundred miles.

Worried about the existence of powerful spirit beasts in the Dead Swamp, the warriors who traversed the swamp were extra careful and alert to avoid being attacked by spirit beasts. However, they continued to fly past a dozen islands that were over a hundred miles deep into the Dead Swamp. The surface of the water was completely silent, and they didn't even see the shadow of a spirit beast.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

With a "hua" sound, the swamp burst apart between several islands, splashing dozens of feet into the air. The broken branches of the trees scattered in all directions, hitting on some of the martial artists' true essence barriers, causing violent fluctuations of true essence.

The eyes of countless martial artists were fixated on the water pillar that had been splashed into the air. They immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

Those huge creatures were covered in scales that looked like fish scales. Their four limbs were thick and short, their tails were extremely long, and their eyes were like lanterns. They looked like ancient beasts, and a fierce aura gushed out from them.

"It's the Golden Scaled Crocodile!"

Seeing those huge monsters that had suddenly rushed out of the swamp, some warriors immediately shouted out in a stern voice. Their voices contained trembling sounds that were difficult to conceal. It was obvious that they were extremely frightened.

Although Ye Daoxuan had never seen a spirit beast like the Golden-Scaled Alligator before, he had heard that this type of spirit beast was extremely rare. With its mouth full of sharp teeth and golden scales, its attack and defensive power were both at the top of its level.

Astonishingly, each of these golden scaled crocodiles that appeared in front of him had lived for nearly a thousand years. They were practically unrivalled existences amongst high ranked spirit beasts, and they even possessed the ability to challenge those stronger than them.

There were at least several hundred of these crocodiles that suddenly appeared, and there were more than a dozen of them in the swamp between each island. The strength of each crocodile was comparable to a human at the late Greater Heaven stage.

The carelessness of the warriors, together with the surprise of the Golden Scaled Alligators, caused hundreds of warriors who were crossing the Dead Swamp to be instantly killed by the sharp teeth of the Golden Scaled Alligators and the sweeping tail of the crocodiles.

Occasionally, a wounded warrior would fall into the swamp, and the moment his body touched the surface of the swamp, it would emit "Chi Chi" sounds and release waves of black smoke, instantly revealing his white bones. One could see that the mud water in the swamp was corrosive, even more so than the black fog.

It could be imagined how powerful the defense of these Golden Scaled Crocodiles must be if they were able to survive in these swamps.

When those Golden Scaled Crocodiles jumped out, Ye Daoxuan, Yang Wu, and the others landed on a small island in the swamp, which saved them from a disaster. When they saw those warriors who had suffered a tragic death due to an attack, they felt a lingering fear and also felt glad that their luck wasn't too bad or else fighting those extremely powerful Golden Scaled Crocodiles in the swamp would be a big problem.

There was another team of martial artists that had arrived on this small island along with Ye Daoxuan. When both teams clearly saw each other's appearances, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration at how narrow the path of enemies was.

It turned out that the team of warriors was the group that had almost clashed with Ye Daoxuan's group at the edge of the Forest of Gloomy Forest, led by the sturdy man and the middle-aged woman, who both possessed the strength of the middle stage of the Greater Celestial Realm. However, their team originally had more than a dozen warriors.

At this moment, the four of them were heavily injured. Their clothes were torn and they appeared to be in an extremely sorry state. Evidently, they had paid a huge price in order to rush over.

On the other hand, Ye Daoxuan and the other five were in a perfect condition.

Both sides looked at each other. Yang Wu and the others had an indifferent face, while the burly man and the other two looked embarrassed.

There were Golden Scaled Crocodiles at the front and back of the island. After a while, they were unable to continue moving forward. Ye Daoxuan's group of five, as well as the burly man's group of four, each found an easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain on the island.

In the Dead Swamp, the Golden Scaled Crocodiles' attacks and the human powerhouses' counterattacks continued fiercely and continuously. The human powerhouses continued to fall, but under their desperate counterattacks, they also killed a large number of Golden Scaled Crocodiles.

"Damn those Golden Scaled Crocodiles, they actually noticed us!"

Yang Wu suddenly got up and rushed forward like lightning. The silver spear in his hand pierced straight through and sent a Gold-scaled Alligator that had just climbed onto the island flying into the swamp of death that was more than ten feet away.

Zhou Peng and the others loudly cheered as he cleanly and cleanly finished off a Golden-Scaled Alligator. Even Yang Wu himself felt that the Golden-Scaled Alligator wasn't as fierce and powerful as he had imagined.

However, in the next moment, four auras of danger rushed towards Yang Wu, and immediately after, four Golden Scaled Crocodiles that were comparable to human experts at the early Greater Heaven stage landed on the small island at the same time, and approached Yang Wu.

The Golden Scaled Crocodile was not only powerful with its sharp teeth and long tail, but it could also spit out a jet black true essence that had a strong corrosive effect. As long as that true essence touched a martial artist's body, it would immediately burn a piece of flesh into nothingness, exposing the white bones inside.

As long as the four Golden Scaled Crocodiles were much stronger than the one that was sent flying by Yang Wu's spear, Yang Wu could still kill one of them. But if he fought two at the same time, then he would be able to maintain his position, and if he fought three at the same time, then he would be defeated before long, and under the siege of the four Golden Scaled Crocodiles, he could only run for his life.

Not only Yang Wu's side, but the burly man's four man team also suffered attacks from several powerful Golden Scaled Crocodiles at the same time, and started to brandish their spirit artifacts to fight.

Yang Wu quickly moved backwards, and together with Ye Daoxuan, Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian, and Ruan Zhilan, the five of them worked together and began to attack the four Golden Scaled Crocodiles.

"Damn it, there are so many more behind us!"

Ye Daoxuan swung the broken blade in his hand with all his might, slashing one Golden Scaled Alligator right out of his face. His gaze looked at the edge of the island, and he saw Golden Scaled Alligators rushing towards the island one after another. The golden scales were dazzling, and the pressure of many spirit beasts covered the entire island, as if they would not let go until all of the human experts on the island were destroyed.

"Big brother Yang, the four of you hold on for a moment!"

After Ye Daoxuan said this loudly, he rushed to one of the hills on the island, and quickly drew runes on the ground surrounding the hill. Then, he placed millions of primeval stones into the rune he carved, and within ten breaths of time, a powerful defensive array was successfully set up and activated.

And in the time it took for him to set up a defensive array, Yang Wu's group of four had already been surrounded and attacked by over a dozen Golden Scaled Crocodiles. Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian and Ruan Zhilan's bodies were all injured, and they were in a precarious situation.

Ye Daoxuan's body flashed, and he had already rushed to the side of the four men. The broken blade in his hand created a violent wave, simultaneously forcing the dozen Golden Scaled Crocodiles to retreat, then he shouted, "The spirit beasts are too strong, let's retreat for now!"

He raised his eyes to look at the swamp not far away, and he heard the sound of water exploding. Another Golden-Scaled Alligator came out, this one was almost twice the size of the others, and the aura it gave off made them feel a sense of extreme danger.

"A spirit beast that is comparable to a peak late Greater celestial level human being... "Damn it, we're in trouble this time!" Ye Daoxuan's eyes were fixed on the enormous Golden Scaled Crocodile as he muttered.

When Yang Wu and the rest heard this, their faces all changed color.

Although Yang Wu and the rest hadn't experienced this before, they had heard that ten peak late Greater Celestial level warriors may not be a match for one Dan Yuan Stage expert. They never imagined that there was actually such a powerful spirit beast in the Dead Swamp. If that spirit beast attacked the island, the five of them would not be a match for it even if they risked their lives.

However, what were they afraid of? The Golden Scaled Crocodile rushed out of the swamp and killed dozens of human warriors. It turned its huge body and rushed towards the small island where Ye Daoxuan and the others were.

It was still hundreds of feet away from the island. Its powerful aura came crashing over like a giant wave. Zhou Peng, Liu Hui Lian, and Ruan Zhilan, who were slightly weaker, actually found it difficult to stand steadily under the impact of that aura.

"Don't just stand there. Follow me and quickly retreat!" Ye Daoxuan's loud shout woke Yang Wu and the rest from their shock.

"This island is only so big, where can we retreat to?" Yang Wu asked subconsciously.

"I set up a defensive barrier just now. As long as I solidify my defenses, I can withstand the attack of that peak late Greater Celestial level spirit beast for a while!" Ye Daoxuan quickly said.

After he finished speaking, he rushed forward, Yang Wu and the rest did not have any hesitation, they quickly followed, and in the blink of an eye, the five of them had entered the defensive array Ye Daoxuan had set up.

As soon as Yang Wu and the rest entered the array, they felt the strangeness of this defensive array. The powerful true essence energies that followed closely followed were unable to move the defensive array's self-formed true essence barrier.

The appearance of the spirit beast that was comparable to a human peak late Greater Celestial Realm expert also alarmed the four burly men who were on the same small island.

"Brothers, tell me to go into the array and hide, I will definitely receive a generous reward!"

With a quick glance, he saw Ye Daoxuan and the others enter a seemingly sturdy defensive array. The burly man's eyes immediately lit up as he abandoned his three companions and rushed outside of the defensive array, urgently begging them.
