Dawn.
Wang Cheng and his party of No. 31 packed their bags and continued towards the Death Swamp.
The Xuanwei who was bitten on the shoulder by a weasel last night did not have a deep wound. This group of people can be said to be the best equipped among the ten Xuanwei. In addition to armor, everyone wears inner armor.
In order to avoid wound infection, Wang Cheng used allicin. When he woke up in the morning, the Xuanwei showed no signs of fever, but he was still a little uneasy, but it did not affect his hurry.
As its name suggests, the Death Swamp is a swamp covering an area of one hundred square kilometers.
Because this place is shrouded in a thick poisonous miasma all year round, and there are swamps all over the place, there are often very few pedestrians passing by. Therefore, this swamp has been added with a prefix - death!
After walking for more than ten minutes, Wang Cheng and his party finally arrived at the Death Swamp.
As far as the eye can see, there is an endless stretch of grass, with rivers and ditches intertwined in the grass, and the water is overflowing. The water is black and exudes an inexplicable rancid smell.
Wang Cheng took out the map in his arms and combined it with the weasel's memory. If they wanted to reach the Black Dragon Pond through the Death Swamp, they would first have to pass through the territory of the Silver-ringed Cockscomb, then the colorful toad, and then the giant salamander.
These monsters are all big monsters, and they can still deal with them. The most difficult thing is that there is a monster king in the core of the Death Swamp - Crocodile Dragon.
As long as you pass the crocodile dragon level, the path below is basically smooth, because going further down is the dragon's territory.
"Sir, do we have to pass through the territories of these big demons? Is there any other route?" Xu Chao said.
Wang Cheng put away the map and said: "If you don't go to these places, you have to go by water, which is even more dangerous!"
The Death Swamp also has a large body of water, which is a river that runs east-west through the Death Swamp.
There is a kind of fish called giant-bone piranha living in this river. It can grow up to two meters long normally. It moves in groups and will gnaw away several layers of wood wherever it passes.
Therefore, even a few big monsters dare not cross that river, because they would only end up with the same fate in the past - being chewed up until not even the dregs are left.
After Xu Chao heard this, he shuddered all over and said, "It's better to take this path."
Wang Cheng immediately ordered everyone to take the Baicao Pill, and asked everyone to put on the simple masks prepared in advance, and only entered the Death Swamp after preparations were made.
There is no way to find a road in this vast swamp. If you are not careful, you will fall into the quagmire and be unable to pull your legs out.
Fortunately, Wang Cheng had the memory of the weasel. Many grasslands that looked flat were actually deep mud underneath. Once stepped on, it would be difficult for even a Qi-blood warrior to get up.
Wang Cheng held a three-meter-long black spear in his hand. Every time he took a step, he used the spear to probe forward.
Although he has the memory of a weasel, he is not a weasel after all. Weasels are extremely familiar with this area and will not go wrong, but he may not be able to do so.
After all, the weasel is a big monster. It is extremely fast and responsive, and can escape before it sinks.
It's a good thing that Wang Cheng is more cautious. Combined with Weasel's memory, the group traveled for several miles without making any mistakes.
However, further ahead it was not bright and clear, and a thick layer of white mist hung over the swamp.
"Everyone, please protect your mouth and nose. We have entered the depths of the Death Swamp. This white mist is a poisonous miasma!"
Wang Cheng then ordered everyone to hold weapons in their hands and protect their vital parts with shields, because as far as the weasel knew, they had entered the territory of the silver-ringed cockscomb snake.
His telepathy has always shrouded the surroundings, and he is aware of all movements within thirty meters.
After walking a hundred or ten meters in the white poisonous miasma, Wang Cheng's expression suddenly changed and he gave everyone a silence gesture.
They saw a huge body rolling in the swamp more than ten meters to their left, with water, grass and silt pouring out of the ground, making a lot of movement.
"Silver Cockscomb!"
Wang Cheng's heart sank. Others could not see clearly due to the poisonous miasma, but his telepathy could sense it clearly.
The thing in the water that is as thick as a bucket and wrapped in a silver ring is the big monster. There is a red tumor on the top of its head, which is its poison sac. It contains extremely poisonous substances. A little bit of it can kill people within a few breaths. Mobility and perception.
Wang Cheng silently held the command talisman in his hand. As long as it dared to charge forward, he would take action without hesitation.
After a full thirty seconds, the silver-ringed cockscomb snake did not pounce, and gradually sank to the bottom of the water.
Wang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't want to offend this big monster.
Because the poison it sprays is so poisonous, his Baicao Pill can only temporarily suppress the toxicity. If the antidote cannot be prepared in time, the only way to save the injured person is to ampute the limbs. If the bitten part is not the limbs, but the neck, chest and other vital parts, then you can only prepare for the funeral.
Wang Cheng made a "safe" gesture to everyone, waved gently, and led everyone to continue walking.
After walking for several more miles, the water in the swamp was as black as ink, and bubbles emerged from the water from time to time.
The poisonous miasma in front is no longer white, but has become colorful, like a rainbow.
Wang Cheng immediately realized that he had arrived at the territory of the colorful toad, and the poison on that toad was even more powerful than the golden crested snake.
One is a toad and the other is a snake. This is obviously a predatory relationship. Toads can live for such a long time. There must be something in them that snakes are afraid of.
Wang Cheng reminded everyone to take another Baicao Pill. The poisonous miasma here is more severe than the previous white poisonous miasma.
The further you go inside, the thicker the colorful poisonous miasma becomes, which can make one's eyes dizzy.
The stench emanating from the water became stronger, just like the stench emitted by some dead pigs and dogs that had been soaked in the pond for a long time on a hot summer day.
Even with three layers of simple masks on everyone's faces, they still couldn't cover up the stench.
There were many corpses floating in the swamp water, both animal and human.
Everyone saw the familiar armor, which was the special armor only available under Ninghou.
Wang Cheng knew that the dead people must be those in the Qinglong Belt. They were not seriously injured in the misty forest, and most of them stayed in the Death Swamp.
There is no safe route. Qinglong and Suzaku, even as martial arts masters, cannot protect everyone.
Wang Cheng's heart became heavier and he walked more cautiously, his mind always surrounding his surroundings.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, the bottom of the swamp exploded, and a monster with four limbs larger than a human jumped out.
The few Xuanwei who stepped on its back had no time to react, and they were pushed into the air.
This four-limbed monster has scabs on its back. The scabs come in different colors, including red, yellow, green, blue, and purple. They look a bit beautiful.
Wang Cheng immediately shouted: "It's a colorful toad, everyone, be careful not to get close to it!"
Before he finished speaking, the colorful toad, which was larger than a human, opened its mouth.
"Snapped!"
A long tongue protruded from its mouth and wrapped around a person.
With a contraction of his tongue, the man headed straight for the colorful toad's "bloody mouth."
Wang Cheng was shocked. Such a big mouth was enough to swallow an adult alive.
With a thought in his mind, two flying swords flew out of his arms and shot at the tongue.
The tongue contracted extremely fast, but the flying sword moved even faster, and the tongue was already long and large, with an obvious target. Before it could be fully retracted, it was hit by two flying swords.
The colorful toad was in pain, abandoned the man, quickly retracted its tongue, and sank under the water.
Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and finally saved the person, but Xu Chao's voice sounded in his ears again.
"Sir, Wei Hao fell into the swamp!"
His heart sank. He had failed to pay attention to the situation around him in Yujian just now, and someone actually fell.
This place is deep in the swamp, and there are colorful toads guarding and preparing to hunt. Is there any hope of survival if a person falls?
He quickly asked: "Do you know where it is?"
"That's it!" Xu Chao pointed to a water surface and said.
Wang Cheng didn't hesitate to throw a wooden stick for building a stronghold there, and then appeared on the wooden stick.
He held a three-meter long black spear and stabbed at the shadow hidden in the water.
However, the colorful toad returned home as soon as it entered the water. It dodges so fast that a spear cannot pierce it.
Wang Cheng had no choice but to jump up from the stick and appear in mid-air.
He held the gun in both hands, and all his strength poured into his hands, and he slashed hard at the water.
Although this blow was not as powerful as the Wood King's spear technique that was fired after charging up, it was still more powerful than ten thousand kilograms.
"boom!!"
The water surface suddenly exploded, as if it had been blasted by a torpedo. The water waves rolled back in all directions, and all the aquatic plants and silt in the water splashed high into the sky, revealing a vacuum zone below.
The colorful toad was hiding in that vacuum area, unmoving, obviously stunned by the blow just now.
Wang Cheng fell from mid-air, his expression extremely ugly, because he failed to find Wei Hao's figure.
It must have been eaten!
Boundless anger ignited in his heart, and with a thought, the command talisman hung in front of him, and with a sharp shout, a bolt of thunder struck the colorful toad.
"Snapped!!"
The colorful toad was still in a daze, but it had been struck by thunder and was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xu Chao and Yang Si, who were standing not far away, couldn't help but change their expressions. They smelled the aroma of meat.
This small piece of talisman is so powerful that the big demon can't withstand a blow!
Yang Si pursed his lips, his intestines almost turning green. If he had known that this talisman was so powerful, he would have grabbed it even if he was beaten.
At this time, the water waves rushing to the surroundings flowed back.
Wang Cheng had quick eyes and quick hands, and stabbed the colorful toad in the head with a spear, lifted it into the air, and then threw it to a grassy area not far away.
The colorful toad was already half-dead by the thunder, and his head was pierced by another bullet. He didn't have a few breaths left.
Wang Cheng stepped forward and slashed its back with his spear, cutting a large gash.
A person slipped out of it with mucus, and a bunch of colorful things.
The person who slipped out was Wei Hao, who had just been swallowed by the colorful toad, but his face had been corroded by some kind of venom and his breathing was gone.
Wang Cheng knew that this situation was a state of suspended animation, and if he tried hard to save him, there was still a possibility of life.
He leaned down, cleaned Wei Hao's face, and prepared to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him.
As he opened his mouth, a bright light shot into his mouth.
