What is the mission? The little demon asked as he put down an elixir in his claws.
Wait. Zhan Chen seemed to have thought of something and asked again: First, tell me how far away you can observe.
The little demon looked around in confusion and said, "It's hard to explain. Let me take a look."
Hao Zhanchen nodded, and then let the little demon walk freely, but the little guy he saw walked farther and farther, and did not stop until a thousand meters away.
Seeing this, he was shocked, ran over to grab her and asked: Little demon, you can clearly see things a thousand meters away in these bushes.
Well, clearly, I can count how many bugs there are. There are one hundred and sixty-six thousand three hundred and twelve bugs in total, hehe. She said nonchalantly, as if she was talking about something light-hearted.
On the other side, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru looked at each other, both speechless in shock.
Zhan Chen was even more confused. Now his confidence had begun to waver. The little demon was most likely a fairy beast, but there was that kind of fairy beast that looked like a ferret. He tried hard to recall, but unfortunately, with his knowledge about fairy beasts, he
I'm so lacking that I don't even understand the little demon's true identity.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked again: How far can you smell the smell?
The little demon said doubtfully: I don't know that, but it must be further away.
Zhan Chen shouted: This is great, my idea is good, this important task should be left to you.
Xiaoyao was still upset when he was described as a freeloader by Zhou Ziru. Now when he heard his master say that he still had a heavy responsibility to entrust to him, he suddenly felt very happy and asked with great interest: Master, please tell me quickly, I have a little bit.
Can't wait.
Zhan Chen smiled and said: I would like to ask you to lead the way and watch out for the two of us. This tidal swamp is full of dangers. Little Demon, you are very important to us. You can be said to be indispensable. If this task is completed,
, I will reward you with elixir every day, how about it, you think this deal is a good deal.
The little demon immediately replied: The deal is done. As long as you are willing to reward me with the elixir, I will do anything, little demon.
Zhan Chen looked at her greedy look and couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Ziru on the side also shouted excitedly: Zhan Chen, your method is good. With the little demon, the possibility of us encountering eight or nine level monsters will be greatly reduced.
Zhan Chen smiled complacently and added: "And the little demon has another secret, Ziru, you must not know about it."
Oh, what skill
Even though it looks like this, it is indeed a treasure-hunting marten.
Zhou Ziru couldn't help but be stunned.
Zhan Chen smiled mysteriously and said: You will know tomorrow.
The next morning, the two men and Diao set off on the road again, heading in the direction they thought was right. The little demon was asked to lead the way, mainly to detect the dangers ahead, while Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru followed it.
behind.
After half a day like this, they did not encounter any dangers or attacks. In fact, as Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru went deeper and deeper into the vast swamp, the number of dangers they encountered must have shown a straight upward trend.
.
However, with the help of the little demon's sensitive nose and powerful spiritual sense, he could always detect the eighth-order and ninth-order big demon in advance, helping Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru to avoid danger and save themselves a lot of unnecessary trouble and battles.
However, after half a day, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru felt something was wrong. Zhou Ziru said to Zhan Chen doubtfully: Zhan Chen, I feel that we have gone in the wrong direction. It has been half a day, but we can't even see Yuanchi.
No shadow was seen.
Zhan Chen also stopped, looked around, and then sighed: Ziru, I have a bad feeling that we are completely lost. You have to be mentally prepared. Maybe we will be lost in this flood forever.
Within the tidal marsh.
How could it be
That's it. Otherwise, how could the Flood Swamp be called one of the three most dangerous places in the neutral area? It's because it is like a natural maze that will trap anyone who enters it.
then what should we do
Zhan Chen sighed: There is really no way to do this. At present, we can only hope that luck will allow us to go out by chance or meet someone who is familiar with the path. Only in this way can we leave here.
Zhou Ziru felt disappointed when he heard what he said.
Seeing this, Zhan Chen comforted him confidently: Ziru, think about it a little bit, we are very lucky to be able to escape from the abyss alive. After entering the swamp, there is a little demon to help lead the way. I think we can get out of the abyss.
This maze is also a matter of time.
Zhou Ziru could only nodded.
At this moment, the little demon leading the way suddenly stopped, stood up, looked around, and carefully smelled the smell in the air with his nose.
Seeing her like this, Zhan Chen asked curiously: Xiaoyao, have you discovered anything else?
The little demon turned his head and said excitedly: Master, I smell a very strong fragrance. It must be delicious.
After hearing her words, Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile knowingly. He still didn't understand that this delicious food must refer to the elixir, and the grade would never be low, so he turned around and looked at Zhou Ziru next to him.
He smiled and said: Ziru, I will show you what the little demon is capable of.
Then, he issued an order to the little demon: Xiaoyao, take us to that place quickly.
The little demon nodded and led the way. The two people and the beast quickly walked through the grass. Gradually, the grass in front grew taller and stronger. Each root was five or six meters long, just like a sapling. Zhan Chen and
Zhou Ziru and others had to slow down, use their hands to dig through the grass, and move forward slowly.
Slowly, they felt that the air became more and more refreshing, with a rich and intoxicating aroma floating around. This time, the two of them were sure that there was indeed at least one high-level elixir in front of them.
Suddenly, the little demon who was leading the way stopped, turned his head, and cautiously said to the two of them: Master, here we are, there is a big guy sleeping in front.
Zhan Chen quietly walked forward, gently opened a small gap in the grass in front of him, and took a closer look inside.
This is a huge lizard sleeping soundly beside a large pond with rippling blue waves. It is more than ten meters long and covered with green scales, with bumps and pits, making it look extremely ugly and its legs are strong.
It is powerful and has sharp claws on its feet with thick webs, which makes its huge body easy to move on mud.
This was the Elephant Lizard. Zhan Chen, an eighth-level top-level monster, was secretly startled and almost screamed, but he still held back and did not dare to disturb it.
Immediately, his eyes were attracted by a spiritual grass that was as white as snow and as warm as jade next to the big guy. It was more than two feet long, with branches and leaves as moist and crystal clear as jade. The branches were tall and tall.
There are clusters of holy and delicate spiritual flowers blooming, trembling gently in the breeze, so beautiful that people can't bear to touch them, just like a quiet beauty staying there quietly, resting by the pond.
Zhan Chen tasted it for a while and finally determined its identity as the Holy Flower of Wood. It is a ninth-grade high-grade wood-attribute elixir. It is the main material for refining eighth-grade elixirs and even some ninth-grade elixirs. Its value is definitely
Above 100,000 top quality Yuan stones
In an instant, his eyes became fiery. As an alchemist, how could he miss such a top quality product?
However, in front of the treasure, there is an eyesore blocking the way. An eighth-level top-level monster. In normal times, Zhan Chen would definitely have encountered one and run away immediately without hesitation. But today, this big guy is here
Sleeping soundly in broad daylight, probably because it has few natural enemies, it has gradually relaxed its vigilance, and this has given itself an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Zhan Chen, what is going on in front of him? Zhou Ziru, who was standing behind him, was a little impatient with waiting and couldn't help but ask.
Well, you can see for yourself. Zhan Chen answered.
So Zhou Ziru also stepped forward to inspect it, turned around and asked cautiously: What are you going to do?
A flash of light flashed in Zhan Chen's eyes, a cruel smile appeared on his lips, and he replied: Needless to say, naturally I will take them all down.
Okay, I support you. Zhou Ziru also showed the same evil smile. The two hit it off and worked together in an awkward manner.
So they secretly walked along the dense grass surrounding the pond and lurked beside the elephant lizard.
And during this process, the monster remained asleep. In fact, it was the overlord of the swamp, and its vigilance had been reduced to an extremely low level, which allowed Zhan Chen and the two to progress so smoothly.
When the two were ready, Zhan Chen signaled Zhou Ziru with his eyes to coordinate their actions. The two exploded at a close distance, unsheathed their long swords, and hit the left and right eyes of the eighth-level top demon from both sides simultaneously.
The elephant lizard was suddenly attacked while still intoxicated in his sleep. Blood was flowing out. Before he could react, his eyes were stabbed and he was seriously injured.
When Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru saw that their plan was successful, their confidence increased and they took the opportunity to deal with the monster.
But the Elephant Lizard is, after all, an eighth-level top-level monster, and the Centipede Insect is dead but not stiff, relying on its instincts to still struggle.
Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru couldn't get close for a while, so they had to attract it away, adopt a wandering strategy, and sneak attack around it. They struggled until it was getting dark before they completely knocked down this big guy.
Taking out this guy's huge demon elixir, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, seeing the look of ecstasy in each other's eyes.
Zhan Chen asked: Ziru, let’s separate this monster and the elixir.
Zhou Ziru immediately grabbed the demon pill and said: No need to divide it, I want the demon pill. The elixir belongs to you, the alchemist.
Zhan Chen also smiled and shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do.
That night, the two set up a bonfire and roasted animal meat. The nutritious eighth-level monster meat was worth half a day of meditation. The little demon was also given many elixirs.
As a reward, this day was extremely fulfilling. In short, everyone was happy.
The next day, they started wandering in this vast swamp again, and the days passed like this. One week, one month, one year, two years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru still couldn't find any way out of this swamp.
Swamp clues.
In the past ten years, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru's changes can be described as rapid. The flood swamp is indeed a good place for cultivation. It took them ten years to complete the road that ordinary people would have difficulty completing in a hundred years, and arrived at Emperor Wu's Palace.
The limit of perfect state.
Although the Martial Saint realm has yet to be reached, both of them seem to feel that they can break through as soon as they find a way.
With the support of a large number of elixirs, the little demon has also been promoted from a seventh-level elementary demon beast to a seventh-level top-level demon beast. This flood swamp is a place rich in elixirs. Her promotion is easier. As long as there are a large number of elixirs,
You can continue to grow rapidly. Breakthroughs in small realms do not require long periods of sleep. It only takes just one month to complete the entire process of breakthrough.
Whenever it was about to break through, Zhan Chen would always ask Zhou Ziru and himself to stop, waiting for the little guy to retreat and complete the breakthrough before setting out again, because the little demon was too crucial to their trip to the swamp.
However, even though the two of them have made rapid progress in cultivation, they still often feel confused, helpless and even restless. The question has to return to the original point: Where is the way out?
On this day, in the morning of Zhan, Zhou Ziru was wandering around in the swamp with the little demon as usual. Suddenly, there was a faint roar in the distance, and there seemed to be an inaudible sound of the clash of swords.
There were people in front of them, Zhan Chen and Zhou Ziru, who glanced at each other and rushed towards the direction of the sound.
