The task of guarding the Black Oil Swamp is not fixedly assigned to a certain elder, but replaced on a rotating basis, usually every ten years.
This time is very long for ordinary people, but for advanced cultivators, it is just a short period of retreat.
In fact, the witch has never done this task.
Because the time she has been the leader of Youqiong Peak is too short. It has not been her turn for less than thirty years.
But this time, the law enforcement elder who guarded the Black Oil Swamp left because of her affairs, so she naturally took over the guarding work.
In fact, if the leader really wants to recruit other people, it is not impossible.
The little thought behind this... the witch is also aware of it and doesn't want to refuse.
As soon as the group arrived, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall came up to them and bowed in salute.
"Qiu Ye of the Law Enforcement Hall has met his uncle."
The witch waved her hands very casually, and then said while walking up the mountain.
"Little Qiuye... No need to be polite, this is my first time guarding the Black Oil Swamp. Please tell me about the situation here!"
Faced with such a title, Qiuye smiled bitterly.
This is probably the only unorthodox uncle in the sect who can call himself this.
You know, she is the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, and her fellow disciples in the sect are a little afraid of her.
As for the elders, they looked kind and happy when they saw her.
Although the witch's name for her was not formal, it still had a hint of intimacy, so she didn't mean to be unhappy. She quickly followed the witch's footsteps and said with a solemn face.
"Uncle Master, the Black Oil Swamp today is completely different from usual!"
The witch kept walking and said.
"Oh, tell me."
Qiuye continued to follow and introduced.
"Uncle Master should know that before the Black Oil Swamp was developed, there were many monsters in it and it was very dangerous."
The witch nodded. She also knew about this situation. It was recorded in the history of the sect. Although she was addicted to alcohol, she was also the sect's genius in the past. She knew everything she needed to know.
"I know this. It was two thousand years ago. The disciples of the sect accidentally discovered the effects of black oil and reported it to the sect. In the end, the sect decided to develop the black oil swamp and joined forces with the Shenhuo Sect who had the same discovery to strangle them.
Most monsters."
Qiuye nodded and agreed.
"Yes, Uncle Master. Since then, there have only been sporadic monsters in the swamp, and the danger is not great. Then the two factions decided to send their disciples to search for and mine black oil in the swamp. In this way, the two factions allowed their disciples to
Among them...discuss."
Then, Qiuye talked about the current changes.
"But this situation changed a month ago. The Black Oil Swamp changed. Suddenly there were many very special monsters in it. They appear and disappear, and their strength spans a huge range, from the foundation building stage to the tribulation stage."
Although the witch knew that the situation here was serious, she did not expect it to be so serious.
Even the human monsters and beasts who have transcended the tribulation period have come out, and they are trying to break the truth!
"How many tribulation periods are there?"
Qiuye shook his head and replied helplessly.
"Not sure, my master has only seen one."
One.
Not much better!
The witch continued to ask.
"Well, you said special monsters...what's so special about them?"
Qiu Ye showed a strange look on his face and said.
"They look strange, but inside they are made of black oil. Once they encounter a life-or-death crisis, they will immediately self-destruct with astonishing lethality. At the same time, they will also form a sea of fire around them. Once the flames are touched, it will be like
They are like maggots attached to the bones and are extremely difficult to get rid of.”
Qiuye thought of a self-destruction he had experienced. The fire burned for three full days before it was extinguished. The power was frightening to think about.
If her master...the law enforcement elder hadn't been by her side at that time, she would definitely have been seriously injured, and she might even have been killed on the spot.
In short, today's black oil swamp is extremely dangerous.
At this time, the group of people had reached the top of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is an endless swamp, scattered puddles, seemingly flat land, dotted with countless tall weeds and some low shrubs.
On the surface, this is an ordinary swamp. But there is endless murderous intent hidden inside.
Moreover, there is another special feature of the Black Oil Swamp that makes practitioners extremely troublesome.
That is... the consciousness of ordinary people cannot penetrate deep underground.
This also means... special monsters hiding underground can attack others unscrupulously.
The witch's eyes flashed, and she was obviously already exploring the swamp.
But the next moment, she lost consciousness with some disappointment and asked.
"What's the reaction on the other side of the Divine Fire Gate?"
Qiuye quickly replied.
"Master went to communicate with the elders guarding the Shenhuo Sect. They had no choice but to withdraw from the swamp just like us."
After learning the latest information, the witch was a little confused. She had just tried it and couldn't figure out the problem on her own.
In fact, this is not shameful. You must know that the law enforcement elders are veteran masters of the tribulation period and have much more experience than the juniors like myself.
Even if she can't do something, there's no shame in not being able to do it.
However, I brought professionals here this time.
Thinking of this, the witch turned her head and looked behind her, a young man with a big bone in his arms...Ye Yuan.
In fact, Ye Yuan's appearance had already attracted the attention of the left-behind disciples.
After all, it is really strange that the leader of Qiongfeng brought a "boyfriend" with him.
Although there are many male disciples from the outer sect of the sect, the inner sect generally does not get close to the outer sect.
Therefore, Ye Yuan's appearance is very eye-catching.
The witch looked at Ye Yuan's loving expression on a bone, and couldn't help but wonder if she was right to give it to Ye Yuan.
"When you return to Youqiong Peak after the mission, you can eat as much as you want. Now, it's time to get down to business!"
This woman...can't speak!
"oh."
Ye Yuan sent the bones into the Sumeru Ring with a look of reluctance, and reluctantly used his magical power.
The next moment, the swamp completely changed in Ye Yuan's eyes.
This is not a swamp, it is obviously...
At this moment, Ye Yuan's eyes widened, his expression extremely horrified.
"No h..."
Ye Yuan hadn't even finished speaking, his eyes slowly became dull, and his expression became even more frightened and stiff.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the witch's powerful consciousness immediately surged out, completely wrapping Ye Yuan in it.
"snort…"
The witch snorted softly, resisting the headache that was like hitting a wall, and continued to output, this time with mana.
After a while, Ye Yuan finally came back to his senses.
"What's wrong with me?"
Ye Yuan's expression was a little dazed, as if he had lost his memory.
The witch couldn't feel the attack anymore, so she released her full protection against Ye Yuan.
However, he still retained a trace of consciousness and was always paying attention to Ye Yuan's situation.
"you…"
Just as the witch was about to introduce the situation, Ye Yuan remembered everything that had just happened.
I was actually careless!
Fortunately, a witch came to the rescue in time.
Thinking about the danger just now, Ye Yuan suddenly had a lingering fear on his face, looked in the direction of the swamp, and even took a small step back in "fear".
