"A swamp is a wetland that slowly formed due to the accumulation of water on the ground for a long time and a lot of water in the soil. It is suitable for the growth of a lot of aquatic biomass. Later, over time, it turned into a so-called swamp." In order to prevent Ni Youbin from continuing to embarrass himself, Ni Youbin Wen immediately gave an explanation. The answer was very simple, but it completely described the characteristics of the area they were currently in.
"Will there be dangerous beasts living in the swamp?" Thinking of the fact that they were deep in the mountains, Ni Youbin expressed curiosity about other characteristics of the swamp.
"Of course." Faced with Ni Youbin's inquiry, Ni Wen nodded firmly. At the same time, he also wanted to understand one thing. There were actually signs of fighting around them, but there were no bodies. Then there was only one reason, maybe those The corpses were dragged into the mud pits and eaten by ferocious beasts that lived in the swamp.
"There may be ferocious beasts lurking in the swamp. Please try to follow the traces left by the people in front, and don't go too far." After pulling out the two people who fell into the quagmire, think about the possible dangers around them. There will be ferocious beasts ambushing them, but Ni Wen still feels the need to warn others.
"What kind of ferocious beasts are usually found in swamps?" The more he asked, the more interested he became. Ni Youbin wanted to know what was so scary about swamps.
"A century-old python," is simple and clear. Ni Wen directly used just four words to bring a lot of psychological pressure to many people, especially the word "Bainian".
Because no matter whether it is a python or a snake, as long as it has been cultivated for a hundred years, it will not be an ordinary ferocious beast. Even if it is not extremely powerful, their huge size will still pose a great threat to martial arts, and the body of the python is stronger than that of ordinary ferocious beasts. To be strong and powerful, ordinary martial arts cultivators would not want to fight such a huge beast, so just thinking about how terrifying the python is, everyone can't help but become nervous.
"I see it this way, you and I are walking in the front, middle and back positions of the team respectively. If there is an emergency, we can take action in time to protect these juniors." Also considering the danger of being in the swamp, Liu Xingyang directly Suggestion to Ni Wen.
"Don't worry too much. All the ferocious beasts in the mountains are following the fairy treasures. Presumably all the powerful ferocious beasts in the swamp have left the swamp, leaving only some ordinary ferocious beasts. We don't need to worry too much," Ni Wen didn't wait. When he opened his mouth, Ni Mei on the side was the first to express his opinion.
"Having said that, the ferocious pythons in the swamp like to live in the water, so it's impossible for them all to leave, otherwise there won't be even a corpse of a martial artist or ferocious beast around. We'd better be careful," Ni Mei's statement is indeed a possibility, but Liu Xingyang does not fully agree.
"Brother Liu is right." Thinking that they should be careful, Ni Mei nodded and stopped talking.
"How about I go in front, Ni Mei comes in behind, and Brother Liu walks in the middle of the team?" After listening to a conversation between Ni Mei and Liu Xingyang, Ni Wen felt that he should side with Liu Xingyang, so he directly agreed to Liu Xingyang's proposal.
"No problem," Liu Xingyang directly agreed with Ni Wen's arrangement without even thinking about it.
Next, Ni Youbin and the others observed the surrounding situation as they walked. Except for the three seventh-level martial arts cultivators and a few experienced martial arts cultivators, fledglings like Ni Youbin and the others had to be vigilant at all times when walking in dangerous areas.
Time passed little by little, and when they completely entered the swamp, everyone discovered that traveling through the swamp was similar to going up a mountain, and it was not an easy task.
Fortunately, it had rained in the past few days, and the traces left by both martial cultivators and ferocious beasts were very obvious. Following those traces, they could barely keep moving at a faster speed, but when they saw bubbles emerging from some puddles, After coming out, everyone was still very nervous, especially after they found that the bubbles were very close to them. Some people directly drew their weapons for defense out of fear.
Even so, some people still said with surprise that they saw moving objects in the puddle nearby, and even the heads of ferocious beasts, which unreasonably increased everyone's fear.
Fortunately, Ni Wen had already said that when they leave this swamp, they will not be far from the location of the Immortal Treasure. No matter whether they can catch the opportunity to compete for the Immortal Treasure, they will be able to get there smoothly.
So, under Ni Wen's reminder, although everyone was a little scared, they all speeded up their pace. After all, they had worked hard for so many days for the fairy treasure. Even if they couldn't participate in the robbery, they still wanted to see the so-called fairy treasure. What is going on.
Putting aside the situation of Ni Youbin and his party, Lu Yunyou and others were chatting and laughing at the riverside, cleaning up all the ferocious birds, and then returned as quickly as possible with the processed ferocious bird meat.
Perhaps because they had been out for so long, after returning, the three of them were directly faced with questions from everyone. Wei Ran and others were asking them why they had been gone for so long, one after another, making the three of them very embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhou Hai didn't mention anything about the slowdown caused by Lu Yunyou and Fang Qing riding on the same horse. He only said that it was because of the long distance, and then informed everyone about the fact that they discovered the saint-level martial arts cultivator flying by on the way. However, that incident Wei Ran and others also discovered something.
Afterwards, after a group of people chose to believe the three of them, Lu Yunyou took everyone together to have a barbecue, which was very lively.
After they had eaten and drank enough, everyone rested for half an hour, and then they took the time to set off. Thirteen people rode forward on their horses at a very fast speed. When they reached the edge of the mountain range, because the road became increasingly bumpy, everyone let go. Slow speed.
After officially entering the edge of the Archaic Mountains, a long river came into view. The clear river water and the green peaks across the river bank were clearly visible. Everything made people couldn't help but admire the winding scenery in front of them, until someone discovered that there was a huge giant in the river. When the ferocious beast rolled its body, everyone gradually gave up the idea of sightseeing.
Looking from a distance, it turned out that there were two ferocious beasts playing non-stop in the deep water. No one could tell what ferocious beasts they were, but the exposed body parts of the two ferocious beasts were enough to make everyone feel afraid and they continued to move forward. As they walked, everyone got closer and closer to the river, and they could see that the river seemed to lead deep into the mountains.
The river was getting wider and wider, and the turquoise water showed that the river was very deep. Lu Yunyou, who had originally planned to go fishing when everyone was hungry, silently put away his thoughts, and instead thought that it would be best for them to stay as far away from the river as possible.
As time went by, the closer everyone got to the foot of the mountain ahead, the narrower the road that everyone could walk on became uncomfortable.
"Everyone, come down." After reluctantly moving forward for a while, Wei Ran, who was leading the way, waved his hand to signal everyone to stop because the road was difficult to walk on.
Immediately afterwards, one after another got off the horse, and then a dozen people led a few horses and continued to walk forward at a very slow speed.
When they reached the foot of the mountain in front of them, if there were no horses around, they could have climbed over the ridge next to them and entered the mountain directly, and then walked from the other side of the ridge. Maybe that would be easier.
But now because of the relationship between the horses, they can only walk along the river. It is not only dangerous, but also very slow. They don't know when they will be able to find the people in the mountains if this continues.
"If we go further, I'm afraid the mountain road will be even more rugged. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" As he walked, Wei Ran suddenly turned around and asked Lan Jing.
Immediately afterwards, everyone else's eyes stopped on Lan Jing.
"The mountain road is rugged and narrow, and our mounts are no longer suitable. If we want to quickly enter the depths of the mountains, we have to find a place to settle the horse first." Since he found that the mountain road is difficult to walk, Lan Jing has been thinking about how to improve it. They were traveling at such a speed that they were not here to enjoy the scenery. If they wanted to go deep into the mountains to find opportunities, they could not keep wandering around the edge of the mountains.
"The Shigu Mountains are vast and boundless, with mountains criss-crossing the mountains. If the horses cannot cross the mountains, it will delay our journey, so I think we should find a safe place as soon as possible and leave the horses there while we continue to march into the mountains. "Afraid that everyone might not understand what he meant, Lan Jing explained again.
"What the young master said is true. It's just that it may be difficult to find a suitable place to place the horses in the mountains. If a ferocious beast discovers it, all the horses may die." After nodding, Wei Ran gradually frowned. It is easy to keep the horse, but it is difficult to ensure the safety of the horse.
"This matter will be discussed later. I wonder if the general has considered how far apart we are from the people in front?" Lan Jing shook his head helplessly. Lan Jing had not yet figured out a specific way to place the horses, so he could only put this issue aside for now.
"No way of knowing," he shook his head helplessly in response. In the past few days, they had only seen the whereabouts of a few saint-level martial arts cultivators, but they could not infer how far they were from the people in front of them.
"Then General, have you ever thought about what we should do if we go too late and the Immortal Treasure has been snatched away by others?"
