In the swamp of the dead, in the gloomy and gray fog, a black and green boy's figure quickly ran towards a certain direction in the fog. His toes lightly touched the mud, and a blue light flashed from his body.
It was like being lifted up by the breeze, like a galloping cheetah, rushing forward several hundred meters.
Before his thin body fell down, he tapped his toes again, flashed sharply, and then rushed forward for a distance. In this way, the young man's figure moved forward without a moment's pause.
At this time, in the young man's perception, several ugly black monsters suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Swamp Demon?!" Xiao Che's speed stopped abruptly. He sensed the aura of the swamp demon and quickly hid in a thick fog barrier, hiding his figure.
The swamp demons seemed to be aware of the abnormality. Their ugly heads looked around and suddenly trembled, as if they felt a trace of the swamp demon's breath. Their eyes were a little frightened and they sank into a dark swamp without hesitation.
In the pool.
"It's so dangerous." Xiao Che hid in the fog barrier for a long time, until he could no longer sense the breath of the swamp demon, and then he stuck his head out and looked at the swamp with a few bubbles popping up from time to time. He was quite surprised.
Said: "Lingzun's method this time did not break the chain."
"Well? Are you talking ill of me and making mistakes? When have my methods ever gone wrong?" As if hearing Xiao Che's soliloquy, the Spirit Master stretched his body and flew slowly to Xiao Che.
Che's side.
"Are you awake?" Xiao Che ignored the dissatisfaction in the words of the spiritual master and said somewhat unexpectedly.
You must know that at normal times like this, the Spirit Master always hides and disappears, so it is almost impossible to see him.
The spirit master rolled his eyes and said in an unhappy tone: "What do you mean by waking up? I am just recuperating. You are so young and you really can't speak."
Xiao Che curled his lips when he heard this and did not refute. In his opinion, there was no difference between the two.
"Hey, what's your expression like this kid?"...
Xiao Che ignored the spiritual master's mutterings in his ears and carefully scanned the swamp. After confirming that the swamp demon had left, he felt a little relieved.
"It looks like it should be safe." Immediately, he used the Jingfengyouyun technique and left the place decisively.
Seeing his appearance, the Spirit Master chuckled and said teasingly: "It's just a few swamp monsters. I really don't know what you are so nervous about, kid?"
In this regard, Xiao Che did not pay attention to his thoughts. To put it lightly, what are just a few swamp monsters?
The strength of these swamp monsters is not weaker than that of human fortune masters in the four-line destiny realm. If they were placed in his peak state, he would not be afraid at all. But at this time, the power in his body has not returned to half of its original value. At most, it is equivalent to
How could a three-mark life master be their opponent? If they rush forward hastily, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
Xiao Che moved forward all the way. Due to the blessing of the artistic conception of wind, it made no difference to him whether the swamp land or the hard land was in front of him, and applying the juice of the swamp demon insect was equivalent to providing him with a layer of
The protective color is generally safe unless he collides head-on with marsh demons and marsh demons. Of course, with his keen soul perception, the chance of colliding with them head-on is almost zero.
At this time, Xiao Che's idea was very simple, to catch up with Fang Chihan.
The main purpose of his trip to the Qingling Mountains this time was to obtain the life-repairing elixir in the third-level ruins. But unfortunately, he did not know the specific location of the third-level ruins, so he had to use the ruins map.
And the only map of the ruins is in Fang Chihan's hands.
Regarding Fang Chihan, Xiao Che's intuition told him that this person was definitely not dead. First of all, after Fang Chihan separated from himself and escaped, the unlucky guy who was chased by the Swamp Demon King was not him but himself. Why do you say that?
The reason is very simple. First of all, with the insight of the Swamp Demon King, he must have discovered the unusualness of his body at the first time, so he regarded himself as his favorite host. Generally speaking, whether it is a human or a demon,
Beasts always put the things they like first, and as a favorite in the eyes of the Swamp Demon King, it is certain that I will become the first target of its pursuit.
Secondly, Fang Chihan's cultivation level is close to the Eight-line Fate Enlightenment Realm. As an ice-based destiny master, his offensive ability may not be outstanding among the same level, but his self-protection ability is outstanding, and he is a member of the Red Blood Mercenary Group.
How could the leader of a group not have some hidden tricks? You must know that Xiao Che has a life-saving trump card, let alone a high-level fate master like Fang Chihan.
In this way, although the Swamp Demon King has the power to crush Fang Chihan, it is not easy to kill him in a single thought.
Therefore, since Fang Chihan is still alive, all problems will be solved as long as Xiao Che catches up with him.
When he thought of this, Xiao Che couldn't help but speed up a little more, and his body quickly shuttled through the hazy gray mist and poison barrier.
Seeing Xiao Che burying his head and concentrating on the road, the Spirit Master felt a little bored. He touched the beard on his chin and returned to the three pages of black paper to recuperate.
As soon as Xiao Che left, the swamp of the dead returned to its usual silence. Occasionally, hungry scavenger demons could be seen crawling out of the mud, looking for food such as carrion corpses, or withered vine demon vines.
Leaping out of the swamp, it's like breathing in the fresh miasma.
…
"Finally out!!"
"I will never go to this horrible ghost place again!"
“It feels so good to be alive!!”
On the other edge of the Necromancer Swamp, human mercenaries appeared one after another. They sat slumped on the hard land and rocks of the forest one by one, and began to regain their strength. At this time, their faces and clothes
There was black sludge full of stench everywhere, and many of them had fresh scars that had not scabbed over their bodies, dyeing some of the sludge a hideous black-red color.
Of course, among this group of mercenaries, there are also a few people who are completely intact and have not even been contaminated with filth. Among them, the one with the strongest aura is dressed in green clothes and has an ordinary face, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. He is not a mercenary.
Who is Li Fengyang, the leader of the Corps?
Li Fengyang suddenly remembered something and glanced roughly at the mercenaries present. Suddenly, his expression became particularly strange.
Gloomy, filled with anger and irritability.
There are fifty-two members of the Wind Falcon Mercenary Group remaining, with thirty-three dead. Twenty-eight members of the Scarlet Blood Mercenary Group remain, with seven dead, and the whereabouts of three others are unknown.
They are Fang Chihan, Xiao Che and the man in gray cloak.
Fang Chihan and Xiao Che broke away from the team because of the swamp demon and have not arrived yet, but the man in gray cloak has disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared after entering the swamp of the dead.
At this moment, the reason for his anger is naturally not the dozen or so Wind Falcon mercenaries who died. With the dangerous nature of the Undead Swamp, the death of more than a dozen people is nothing, not to mention that most of these people's cultivation levels are in the second and third lines.
, even if they survive, they are just cannon fodder in the ruins and cannot affect the overall situation.
The reason why he was angry and irritable was because of Fang Chihan, or to be more precise, it was the only ruins map he had on him.
Li Fengyang decided to form an alliance with the Red Blood Mercenary Group. On the one hand, it was because his Wind Falcon Mercenary Group alone could not achieve great things in the ruins. On the other hand, it was because of the map of the ruins that the Red Blood Mercenary Group held.
The map of the ruins not only marked the specific location of the ruins, but also pointed out some alchemy rooms and medicine gardens in the ruins, which was incredibly helpful for their trip. But without the map, they were afraid that they would not even know the specific location of the third-level ruins.
Can't find it? Even if it can be found, the level of danger will be greatly increased if there are no map instructions for the mechanisms and dangers.
"Damn! If Fang Chihan dies..." Li Fengyang cursed in a low voice. He didn't know the general situation, but he knew that Fang Chihan came back alone to save others. Although he knew that a swamp demon could not do anything to Fang Chihan, there were no absolutes in this world.
After all, the Swamp of the Dead is one of the five most dangerous places. With its level of danger, even those who are strong in the Fusion Realm dare not underestimate it. Who dares to say that Fang Chihan will definitely come out alive? Once he dies, the ruins map will also
As he is buried deep in the swamp of the undead, how can he obtain the elixirs and spiritual weapons in the ruins? How can he improve his strength to a higher level again?
When he thought about this, Li Fengyang became even more furious. He walked straight towards the Red Blood Mercenary Group with a gloomy face, stood in front of several mercenaries, and said in a bad tone: "Fang Chihan is going to save that Mo Qu?!"
The leader of these mercenaries has a stern face, with a faint aura of golden evil between his brows. Combined with Li Fengyang's words, their identities can be easily revealed. Naturally, they are Chen Cang and Zhang He, the leaders of the Red Blood Mercenary Regiment.
and Chen Yan.
Chen Cang glanced at Li Fengyang coldly and did not answer his question. Although he was taciturn, he was not a dull person. As soon as his thoughts turned, he understood the true thoughts of this person.
He knew that Li Fengyang's purpose was definitely not to care about the life safety of Fang Chihan or Mo Qu, but to worry that the only relic map on Fang Chihan's body would be lost.
"I wonder what happened to the boss and Brother Mo Qu?" A thought flashed through Chen Cang's mind, and he couldn't help but frown.
When Li Fengyang saw that Chen Cang and others were silent, an unknown fire aroused in his heart again. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cold shout from Chen Yan.
"What our boss does is none of your business!"
At this time, Chen Yan stared with dissatisfaction and a little worry on his face. His personality was different from that of his brother Chen Cang. It could even be said to be completely opposite. He almost inherited the violent characteristics of the fire element, and his temper was quite hot.
Straightforward.
Fang Chihan and Xiao Che have not returned yet. Among everyone present, he is probably the most worried and anxious. At this time, when he heard Li Fengyang's commanding question, of course, given his temper, he couldn't hold back his temper and immediately shouted angrily.
.
Hearing this, the mercenaries present, including Feng Falcon and Red Blood, all looked stunned, obviously shocked by Chen Yan's words.
"Fourth! Don't talk nonsense!" Zhang He, who had always been calm, changed his face when he heard this, and immediately stopped him.
"Did I make a mistake? What does the private affairs of our Red Blood Mercenary Group have to do with him, an outsider?" Chen Yan said without hesitation.
Among the Feng Falcon mercenaries, Zhang Lizheng, who had been defeated by Xiao Che before, was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a faint smile on his face and looking at Chen Yan with cold eyes.
"Idiot, you dare to contradict our leader at this time, you don't know whether to live or die!" Zhang Li smiled conspiratorially, suddenly thinking of the young man in black clothes and silver face, the smile on his face gradually turned gloomy. For some reason,
He was a little uneasy about Xiao Che's disappearance, always feeling that this person would not die so easily.
"Well said!" Li Fengyang's face suddenly turned as cold as ice, and the wind aura all over his body gradually became sharper. Chen Yan's words were like igniting explosives, instantly detonating the anger accumulated in his heart.
He glanced at Chen Yan coldly. At this time, he no longer suppressed the anger in his heart. He stared at Chen Cang and others as well as everyone in the Red Blood Mercenary Group with a selective gaze, and said in a cold voice: "Since
Speaking of which, don't blame Li for being unkind. I'll give you three hours. If Fang Chihan doesn't show up, then..."
Li Fengyang made no secret of the murderous intention in his heart. Although he did not finish his words, everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Feng Falcon's mercenaries stood up suddenly, glaring angrily at the red-blooded people, threatening to fight at any time.
"Are you threatening us? If you want to fight, fight!" Chen Cang raised his eyebrows, and the golden evil spirit in his body was involuntarily aroused, and he said coldly.
Just because he was silent didn't mean he would accept the situation. At this moment, he heard Li Fengyang's threatening words. In Fang Chihan's absence, he was the leader of the Scarlet Blood Mercenary Group. Even if he was not Li Fengyang's opponent, he would not let this happen.
Being timid has weakened their red-blooded reputation!
Feeling Chen Cang's toughness, the red-blooded mercenaries suddenly felt a surge of blood in their hearts and stood up one after another.
"Captain Chen Cang, we are not afraid of guys like the Feng Falcon Mercenary Group! I——" One of the mercenaries with a rather violent temper said loudly.
But before he finished speaking, he heard a muffled sound, and the mercenary immediately vomited blood, his body flew out, and landed heavily on the ground. For a moment, his breath was dying, and he was afraid that he had been seriously injured.
Injury!
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?!" Li Fengyang raised his arms slightly, and the cyan whirlpool on his fingertips has not receded.
, if he didn't want to make this matter irreversible, the mercenary would have died in an instant.
Seeing this, Zhang Li smiled coldly: "How dare cats and dogs dare to speak out, let alone Chen Yan. How can you, a loser in the realm of three lines, have the confidence to make such a noise?"
"What the deputy captain said is that that kid deserves to die!" The Feng Falcon mercenaries looked on with cold eyes and made noises.
"Li Fengyang - you've gone too far!" Chen Yan's eyes widened in anger, flames burned all over his body, and he suddenly drew out his fire-type sword and slashed at him.
"Fourth! Don't be impulsive!" Zhang He said hurriedly, aqua-blue light surged above his hands, and a layer of crystal clear water curtain blocked in front of Chen Yan, slowing down his pace. Immediately, Zhang He's figure
In a flash, he flew in front of Chen Yan and stopped him dangerously.
"Lao San, why did you stop me!" Chen Yan roared angrily.
Zhang He was surrounded by light blue water at the moment, his face was as gloomy as water, and his narrow eyes were cold and cold. In his heart, he was furious at Li Fengyang's behavior, but his consistent rationality allowed him to gradually calm down.
He understood the disadvantage they were at at the moment. When Fang Chihan was originally there, due to the upper-end combat power, although the number of mercenaries was much different, the overall strength was not too different. But at this moment, with the departure of Fang Chihan and Xiao Che,
This greatly increased their disadvantage. If they took action at this time, their Red Blood Mercenary Group would have no chance of winning.
These thoughts flashed through Zhang He's mind. Zhang He took a deep breath and whispered in Chen Yan's ear: "Why are you so anxious? When the boss comes back, do you doubt that the boss's strength will be no match for a mere opponent?"
Swamp devil?"
"But--"
"Fourth brother! Don't cause trouble!" Chen Yan's face was angry. Just when he was about to speak, he heard Chen Cang's cold and serious voice. For him, this person was the one who could restrain him the most and what frightened him the most.
As soon as Chen Cang, the elder brother of his mother-in-law, opened his mouth, he immediately swallowed his words like an eggplant beaten by frost.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Zhang He communicated with Chen Yan, and then he looked at Li Fengyang, first cupped his hands and said: "Captain Li, I'm Zhang He."
At this time, Li Fengyang also looked at Zhang He with an indifferent expression. Li Fengyang knew that this man was a well-established person in the Red Blood Mercenary Group, and his cultivation had reached the six-mark realm, so he did not underestimate this man. Listen to this.
He will say something.
Li Fengyang replied indifferently: "Li knows the third leader of the Red Blood Mercenary Group."
"Thank you for your concern, Captain Li." Zhang An bowed his hand again, and then said: "Before that, Zhang would like to apologize on behalf of my fourth brother Chen Yan. He has always been reckless and outspoken. I think it was because our captain did not return today.
Because of the matter, I was depressed and anxious, so I said such despicable words, which offended Commander Li. I hope you, sir, will not be offended."
"Hmph! Do you think you can understand this matter this way?" Before Li Fengyang could speak, Zhang Li stood up and spoke rather disdainfully. It seemed that because of Xiao Che's absence, he had regained some of his previous demeanor.
"Your face doesn't hurt anymore." Chen Cang suddenly said something coldly.
"You——" Zhang Li's face suddenly turned red and he was choked speechless. Chen Cang's words were a double entendre, not only mentioning the slap in the face, but also poking at Zhang Li's experience of being slapped in the face by Xiao Che. It could almost be said that
It sprinkled a pinch of salt on his wounds.
Li Fengyang had no intention of getting involved in trivial matters. He glanced at Zhang Li and motioned for him to step back. Then he looked at Zhang He and said indifferently: "Go on."
He knew in his heart that Zhang He's words were only half of what he said, and what came next was the key point.
Zhang He smiled faintly, stopped beating around the bush, and said seriously: "What happened before was actually my fourth brother's rude words. But, what does Captain Li mean by three hours? A disagreement will hurt us.
What does it mean to be a brother of the Blood Mercenary Group?!"
After saying that, Zhang He pointed at the seriously injured mercenary. Everyone looked at him and saw that he had just stopped being seriously injured, but he still looked quite embarrassed.
Li Fengyang glanced at it indifferently, not much touched by it.
Zhang He had a clear view of Li Fengyang's expression. He knew that Li Fengyang was a cold-hearted person. He did not say this to arouse his guilt, but to give his next remarks a logical advantage.
Thinking of this, Zhang He's expression became more serious, "Captain Li, have you ever thought that the three-hour limit you proposed has seriously affected the friendship between our two parties at the moment. Our commander has just not returned yet.
, if you behave like this, aren't you afraid of hurting the harmony between us?
Let’s talk about the three-hour limit. Within the time limit, if our boss does not show up, will our two mercenary groups start a war? What will happen after the war starts? It will only hurt both sides, and no one will take advantage in the end. I
I want to ask this, is this what Commander Li wants to see?
But if our boss comes back within the time limit and he knows about this matter, how should Commander Li deal with the impact of this matter? Can the friendship between the two parties continue? How can the alliance last long? "
Zhang He's words were resonant and did not mention the possible military conflict that could occur at any time. Instead, he explained the negative effects that Li Fengyang's behavior would bring to both parties from the perspective of reason and interests.
When Li Fengyang heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, his face improved slightly, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little. Apparently Zhang He's words made him think clearly about the stakes.
He was also so angry that he lost his mind at the time. If not for this, he probably wouldn't have been able to do such a stupid thing with his insidious character.
At this moment, a deep and thick voice came from the swamp of the undead not far away, filled with a biting chill.
"Third brother, that's good!! Fang also wants to know, if I come back, what will happen to you, Li Fengyang, who threatened my Red Blood Mercenary Group?" When everyone heard the voice, they saw a man with long hair on his clothes.
The man, whose entire body was covered with pale frost, walked step by step from the swamp of the dead toward the crowd on the freezing ice, looking coldly at Li Fengyang, who was dressed in green clothes.
