Chapter 41 - Swamp Danger

After Li Yi and the rest left the forest, what entered their eyes was a swamp covered in weeds, and some trees were mixed in the middle. The grass was lush, reaching up to the waist in some places, but only to the ankles. One could see mud puddles on the grass, and there were also some short weeds growing on top of them. The sparse trees were like lonely old men, guarding the land. Sparse birds would occasionally drop down from the trees, and when they looked up, they would see a vast expanse of white clouds. The mountains in the distance were layered with shadows, and the sky was like a dome that covered the huge basin that was surrounded by tall mountains. The center of the basin was lined with snake-shaped hills that rose and fell, and in the middle of the hills was a huge mountain ridge.

The wind blew gently and the white clouds floated in the air, bringing with it a refreshing feeling. In the wind, the grass looked down and layers upon layers of clouds danced like waves. Within the grass, large animals appeared from time to time.

In front of Li Yi and the rest, there were four groups of people that had been fanning out before: one was a team led by twelve Sword Gods from the Nan Gong Family, the Liu Family and the Han Kingdom Royal Family, followed by twenty odd Sword Saints, followed by some hundred first and second stage experts, this was the strongest pair amongst the four groups, if placed on the continent, it would be possible for there to be just one less country; the second group consisted of the Xiang Family, the royal family and some mercenary groups, a total of ten Sword Gods, a total of twenty two Saint Swords, followed by seventy-seven first stage and second stage experts, their strength was only weaker than the first group; the third group consisted of the Ouyang family, the royal family, the, the royal family, the royal family, and the royal families. The only people left were the loners like Li Yi, who followed the crowd ahead leisurely.

Li Yi swept his gaze across the people in front of him, a look of pity flashed past his eyes as he looked up to the sky, the wind was howling around him, he had never left a trace of a trace behind, the world was ruthless, he looked at the people on the stage, the world was merciless, the strong existed, the weak died.

Li Yi laughed and said to the two of them: "Let's go watch a good show! In front of us is a swamp, and there are magical beasts, holy beasts, and even divine beasts. Remember, don't get too far away from me. "

Holy Beasts, divine beasts. When Nie Kuang heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, that was not something they could handle, and then he relaxed. With this super expert brother protecting them, there was nothing to worry about, Nie Kuang said: "We'll listen to big brother, hahaha! Let's go watch a good show! " Nie Kuang was also a straightforward guy.

The second clan elder of the Nangong Family and the first clan elder of the Liu clan were walking at the forefront of the group of people from the Nan Gong Family and the Liu clan. At this moment, they were frowning and walking very carefully, causing the Sword God and the Sword Saint to fan the experts behind them. These first or second level experts were also feeling helpless. Normally, they felt that their skills were not bad, that they were superior and that they were commanding them. But now that they were being protected, they could only bitterly smile in their hearts.

The Second Elder of the Nangong family said to the Great Elder of the Liu family, "Big brother Hong, this is a swamp, it may seem calm, but I have a strong sense of danger, what do you think?"

"Brother Tian, I have the same feeling as you. I'm afraid there are powerful magical beasts in this quagmire." The Great Clan Elder of the Liu Family, Liu Hong said.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Hurry and help me."

Just as Liu Hong and Nangong Hentian were discussing about the feeling of danger, a miserable scream came from behind them. The two of them turned around and looked, only to see a level two ranker emitting blue protective Zhen Qi from his body. One of the Sword Saints beside him suddenly reacted, he pulled out his sword and a ten meter long sword light shot out.

Bang!

Wuuuuu!

Mud splashed in all directions, and the mud that splattered out gave off a red glow. The bowl-thick tentacle had been cut into two halves, causing the demonic beast in the quagmire to let out a whimper. The second rank expert who was dragged into the quagmire, seeing that his body was relaxed, immediately tried to jump onto the shore. Just as his body was a foot high, another bowl-like tentacle suddenly extended from his body and quickly wrapped around one of the legs of the second rank expert and pulled him into the quagmire. It had only been an instant since Sword Saint unleashed the sword beam to a second rank expert. By the time Sword Saint unleashed the second strike, the second rank expert had already been dragged into the quagmire, leaving behind only the pool in which fresh blood was gushing out.

The expert watching from the side felt his heart turn cold, and couldn't help but take a step back. At this time, the two elders had already arrived. Looking at the severed tendrils, they said, "Those are the Saint rank Magical Beasts. Everyone, be careful."

Just as Liu Hong finished speaking, miserable cries came from other teams far away. The two elders looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. Before coming here, the clan had issued a death order that they must find the treasure. Even if they couldn't take it all for themselves, they must at least get a share of the loot. The two elders looked at the grass in front of them, swaying in the wind as they thought, "I wonder how many of these people will survive."

The two Elders walked in front cautiously, paying no attention to the bubbles that would occasionally appear in the mud puddle beside them. The group behind him also followed carefully. Their eyes constantly scanned the surroundings, afraid that they would be dragged into the mud by the magical beast that had suddenly attacked them. After everyone had walked to the side, the muddy water in the quagmire suddenly began to churn. One of the experts realized that something was wrong and shouted, "Be careful, there are attacks from magical beasts!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as the expert's voice fell, more than ten long figures suddenly emerged from the quagmire, opening their mouths wide and pouncing towards the crowd.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A blood-curdling screech resounded in the surroundings. The three experts who didn't manage to dodge in time were instantly pounced on. The magical beast opened its huge mouth, and the only sound that could be heard was "Kacha!" "Ka-cha!" Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking and screams of pain, the hearts of the people nearby were torn apart.

Only then did someone take a closer look and said, "That is the Class 8 Magical Beast, Giant Alligator. Everyone be careful, it is of no threat to us." At this moment, someone said, "Do you hear any other sounds? They sound like snakes."

Hiss, hiss, hiss. Dozens of tiny snakes that were as thick as a finger and as long as chopsticks and glowing with a golden light suddenly rushed towards the group.

"Oh my god!" That's a Saint-rank Golden-Striped Snake. " When the people beside him heard this, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Even if a Saint rank expert were bitten, it would still be hard to survive. Under the Saint rank, it could be instantly killed, and if one could not call these snakes Saint rank snakes, then one of the greatest threats to a Saint rank expert was their ability to penetrate the protective Zhen Qi barrier, which was the reason for the fear.

Dozens of snakes shuttled back and forth in the air. Giant crocodiles were coming from all directions with their mouths wide open. All of these experts were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene. Liu Hong and Nangong Hentian instantly rushed over, only ten first or second stage experts died, their entire bodies were black, it was obvious that they were poisoned by the Golden-Striped Snake's poison.

Nangong Hentian saw the situation clearly and instantly ordered, "A Divine level expert killed a Golden-Striped Snake, while a Sacred level expert killed Giant Alligator."

Everyone arranged themselves into a battle formation. To deal with the Golden-Striped Snakes at a speed as fast as lightning was something only Sword God experts could do. An expert of the Sword God chopped down a snake at the waist. The timing of its attack was very accurate. Who knew that the head of the snake would not weaken after being cut off. It instantly went through the expert of the Sword God to bite a first rank expert.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

That level one expert's face instantly turned black and was no longer angry. The sword god turned around and looked at the scene in astonishment. He thought to himself: Didn't I already kill it? One of the people beside him said, "Only by cutting off seven inches of the Golden-Striped Snake can we completely kill it."

The expert from the Sword God looked at the upper half of the Golden-Striped Snake. It was still continuously twisting around the First Pin expert as if it was mocking him: "You won't be able to kill me." Humph! The God of Swords let out a cold snort. With his ten layers and ten levels of power, he instantly turned the head of the Golden-Striped Snake into powder.

At this moment, the battle was nearing its end. The dozen or so crocodiles had been completely dismembered. Not a single one was intact. This showed just how angry the crowd was. One after another, fist-sized monster cores emerged from the severed head of the giant eel. At this moment, it was as if no one had seen them and no one dared to go up to pick them up. Over thirty rank one or two experts had died in this battle. Everyone looked at their teammates lying on the ground and felt a chill run down their spines. Would they be like them, lying in a desolate place?

Nangong Hentian swept his eyes across the crowd and realised that there were only forty five first or second stage experts left. Even so, they still had to walk forward. The group regrouped and continued forward.

Li Yi and the other two walked with ease, not taking the obstacles in the slightest. If there were any untactful beasts attacking them, Li Yi would not hold back, the demon cores in his hands could not let it escape, he had collected many high grade demon cores along the way.

Li Yi who was walking on the streets suddenly had a change in expression, thinking that the Nangong Family's group was really unlucky.

Liu Hong and Nangong Hentian did not sense any danger as they walked towards them step by step. Liu Hong and the others who were walking suddenly realised that there was a small pond in front of them, the water was very clear, everyone was happy, and quickly rushed forward, and it was no wonder, after walking for half a day, they were hungry and thirsty, and their bodies were dirty and messy, their faces were blue and sticky with dust.

Everyone felt that by the pool, some of them were washing their faces, some of them drinking water to moisten their throats, some of them had started a bonfire early on in the morning, some of them had gone to the side to gather some game, and some of them had caught some fish to relieve their hunger. The Liu Family's Great Elder, Liu Hong, and the Nan Gong Family's Nangong Hentian were completely focused on their journey, and they also felt exhausted. The two of them realized that the water in the pool was extremely clear, and they did not care about it at all.

After Nangong Hentian finished washing his face, he looked up and said with a wry smile, "Old Hong Ge, I never thought that the riot forbidden area would be this dangerous. First is the mutated wasp, then is the swamps and monsters, causing almost all of the elites of the continent's young generation to die."

"That's right!" No one would have thought that it would be so dangerous. Even the two of us, who have lived for almost a thousand years, are shocked. " Liu Hong said with a face full of uneasiness.

"It's fortunate that we didn't send our family's main force over. Otherwise, we would have all become the clan's sinners." Nangong Hentian was rejoicing.

If the treasures of the Martial Empire were not hidden here, they would have been discovered long ago. They would have waited until us brothers came here to explore, but the price they paid was too high. " Liu Hong said.

"It is indeed a bit big, but it won't do us much of a loss. Fortunately, we had the foresight to leave all of the clan's experts outside, haha!" This is good for us, at least if we have a lot less competitors. " Nangong Hentian was a little proud, but he secretly thought in his heart, Why didn't the experts of the Liu Family come in?

Liu Hong secretly cursed in his heart. Less competitors, so that your Nangong Family can grow up, wishful thinking, and so on and so forth: "Yeah! "So we have a better chance of success."

The two chatted nonchalantly, oblivious to the fact that the Grim Reaper was approaching them step by step. Sometimes ignorance is also a happiness.
