Chapter 662: Lord of Marsh's Promise

The murky swamp slid off the Lord of Marsh’s body like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Qin Feng was startled and quickly stepped back. He didn’t want to get soaked in the foul-smelling mud.

Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared from under the mud, becoming denser and denser like clear flowing water, emitting a bright light.

Qin Feng suddenly understood. The muddy sludge covering Lord of Marsh’s body was not his original appearance.

Just like the river spirit seen in Spirited Away in his previous life, this Lord Of Marsh might have been transformed beyond recognition under the influence of a curse.

And now that the curse had been lifted from him, Lord Of Marsh could naturally return to his true form.

‘Could his true form be that of a dragon?’ Qin Feng felt somewhat hopeful, his eyes gazing ahead without blinking.

This feeling of anticipation was like waiting for an ugly duckling to turn into a swan, a car to turn into a Gundam, or a cat to turn into a girl...

However, when the mud completely slid off and Lord Of Marsh’s true form was fully revealed in front of the three of them, Qin Feng couldn’t help but freeze, his heart filled with deep disappointment.

That damn thing’s just a giant toad, isn’t it? At most, it’s wearing a limited edition skin!

“Brother...” Qin An on the side opened his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit.

Qin Feng immediately whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

I know what you are going to say. Even if it’s a toad, it’s a toad that can destroy heaven and earth. How can you casually criticize?

After a long time, Lord of Marsh looked at his own clean body with a satisfied expression in his eyes.

He looked down at Qin Feng and said lightly, “I didn’t expect that you, an ant, would actually be able to remove the curse from me. If you want something in return, go ahead and say it. I don’t like to owe favors to ants.”

Here it comes... Qin Feng took a deep breath and realized that things were indeed going as the white deer had said.

Without hesitation, he spoke up, “I earnestly request your assistance for the human race in this disaster!”

As his words fell, there was silence.

The toad made no promises and showed a complex expression.

Even though the beings in the transcendence realm didn’t belong to the tradition of literary saints, they could still perceive some vague fluctuations in fate.

Was it the Drum or the Candle Dragon, or perhaps both?

Regardless, the Lord of Marsh’s help was indispensable!

When he was repeatedly refused, the toad’s face darkened like the sky before a storm.

Feeling the gaze of the giant eyes upon him, Qin Feng’s heart trembled, but for the sake of the human race, he stood tall and resolute and said, “Please, Lord Of Marsh, lend your aid to the human race!”

Qin Feng met the Lord of Marsh’s gaze, and the pressure felt like a relentless tide surging toward him, but he stood his ground without faltering.

“Damned white deer!” the Lord of Marsh roared in anger, shaking the earth.

After a long time, he finally calmed down and raised his massive hand, dropping an object.

Qin Feng quickly reached out to catch it, and upon closer inspection, it looked like a frozen ice crystal, thin and delicate.

The sensation of touching it was like placing one’s hand in flowing stream water, cool and pleasant. It still reflected a faint blue glow, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary object.

It’s a treasure!

The Lord of the Marsh said, “This is my true manifestation of the Life Source, the skin I shed when I entered the second-level transcendence realm.”

Frog skin... Qin Feng’s lips twitched. He quickly stored the True Manifestation of Life Source in his spatial ring. He wanted to wipe his hands, but hesitated so as not to offend the creature.

Then the Lord of the Marsh spoke again, “By channeling your aura into it, I can sense it no matter where I am. With this item, I can help you once, remember, only once!”

After saying this, the emptiness around them began to swirl like water currents. The Lord of the Marsh leaped and disappeared into it.

Qin Feng and the others heaved a sigh of relief. The pressure of the Transcendence Realm was truly beyond imagination.

Father Qin solemnly said, “Judging from its reaction, this catastrophe in the Southern Domain is not trivial. If there were only the Garuda clan and those secret enemies, it would be impossible for them to reach the realm of transcendence. Your dream may indeed come true.”

Qin Feng exhaled lightly, “Regardless of that, at least we’ve now won his promise to intervene once. Besides, the mysterious white deer that I saw earlier seems to be on our side as well, standing with our human race.”

Qin An nodded slightly, then turned his head to the side to see Qin Feng’s right hand rubbing against his clothes. Curious, he asked, “Big Brother, what are you doing with your right hand?”

Qin Feng lightly coughed. “Your clothes looked dirty, so I thought I’d help you clean them. It looks much better now...”
