Chapter 1812

"You all know the rules. We are only responsible for carrying out the mission. As for who the employer is, it is not something we need to ask. As for the price, to have the Pavilion Master promise that more than one of you will be promoted to the Kingdom War grade, it is naturally a generous reward. In fact, this reward is not as simple as money. "

Master Peach Blossom replied to Lady Storm's question with a flash of cold lightning in his eyes. "If you feel that this mission is courting death before you even carry out the mission, you can choose to withdraw. Of course, according to the rules, I will clean up anyone who backs out! "

His tone was filled with threat, which was completely different from his cowardice when he was facing Gu Chen.

After all, he was a Kingdom War grade assassin and the leader of the team. He would definitely not be careless during crucial moments.

Lady Storm's breath stopped. She was just grumbling earlier as she knew that there was no turning back. Who would have thought that Master Peach Blossom would be so unyielding?

Seeing that Lady Storm didn't say anything and the others didn't have any objections, Master Peach Blossom continued, "Don't worry. This mission might be dangerous, but we have a chance of success. According to a reliable source, that Golden Divine Crocodile is currently injured. As long as we are careful and meticulous, it won't be difficult to assassinate it. "

This was indeed good news, and everyone's expression eased up.

"Alright, let's go!"

Master Peach Blossom didn't say anything else, and the group quickly crossed the border of the Marsh Kingdom.

There might be the Wild Fox Race's army stationed at the border, but the Ancient Desolate Swamp was vast and had a complicated terrain. Therefore, it wasn't difficult to bypass the army and enter.

In fact, the Wild Fox Race's army was focused on guarding against the beast wave from the Ancient Desolate Swamp. It was difficult to exit the swamp, but it was easy to enter. The Wild Fox Race couldn't be bothered with people who were courting death.

Once they entered the Ancient Desolate Swamp, the group immediately felt the difference from the outside world.

The outside world might be filled with swamps, but it wasn't as primitive and mysterious as the Ancient Desolate Swamp.

There were towering ancient trees everywhere. These ancient trees were dull and seemed to have withered over the years, leaving behind only a tough outer shell.

Even so, the swamp wasn't lifeless. There were colourful vines crawling all over the surface of the ancient trees.

These vines grew out of the black water and mud. They were colorful, and many of them were clearly poisonous.

Because of the free and unbridled growth over the years, not only did the vines greatly obstruct one's vision in the swamp, it also made it extremely difficult to pass through here.

If they wanted to advance, they had to forcefully open a path. However, once the vines were destroyed, they would immediately emit corrosive poisonous gas from their roots. It was strange and dangerous.

The ancient tree was also the habitat of many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Once the commotion was too big, it would attract the attention of many of them.

Bang!

Tu Xiong swung his Beheading Blade and chopped an ancient tree in front of him in half.

As soon as the ancient tree fell, a dense tide of man-eating ants immediately crawled out from inside, sweeping across the water surface like a dark cloud, pouncing towards him.

He raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to spit out a green flame. Everywhere the ant tide went, crackling sounds could be heard. They were all roasted into ashes, and there was a faint fragrance of meat.

"Setting a fire and causing such a huge ruckus, are you trying to cause trouble for us?" the craftsman said in dissatisfaction.

Most of the others were standing on the treetops of the ancient trees, observing the movements of the surrounding grass and wind.

"This place is really unbearable to walk through!" Tu Xiong snorted coldly. He was extremely irritated by the surrounding environment.

Although the outside world was also a swamp, it had long been developed by the Wild Fox Clan. Given everyone's movement techniques, it was not difficult to walk through it.

However, the vegetation in the Desolate Ancient Swamp was too dense. Once they entered, it was like falling into a huge net. Furthermore, it was hot and humid, and they had to be wary of all sorts of dangers. It was really frustrating.

Even Gu Chen felt that the environment here was really difficult. He could not help but miss the feeling of being able to fly.

If he could fly, he could fly directly above the swamp. His efficiency would definitely increase greatly.

Unfortunately, the Heaven Earth suppression of the Primordial Dao World was too powerful. Only a few powerful cultivators could fly.

Even races that could naturally soar were rare in the Dao World. The abnormally firm space-time made it difficult for birds and the like to fly freely as long as their bodies were too huge.

One of the main reasons why the 655,555 Crow Generals of the Great Cheng Dynasty had been able to sweep through the Seven Nations was that the Three-legged Golden Crow Clan, which formed the Crow Generals, was one of the few races that could fly. With the 655,555 Crow Generals having air superiority, it was extremely easy for them to attack cities and plunder lands.

"This swamp is almost boundless. It's too difficult for the six of us to find that Golden Divine Crocodile," Tu Xiong grumbled again.

"It's not difficult. Wherever those demon beasts fled, it means that the Golden Divine Crocodile is in the opposite direction," Lady Storm muttered.

"Even so, the range is still very large. Under such circumstances …" The craftsman paused and looked at the Whisperer, who was not far away.

The others also looked at him, clearly knowing his abilities very well.

The Whisperer nodded and tapped his toes on the treetops a few times, skimming toward a destroyed area in the swamp.

A large number of demon beasts fleeing would definitely destroy the area along the way and leave obvious traces.

If it weren't for the fact that the path opened by the demon beasts would occasionally be met with beast tides, causing them to attack indiscriminately in fear, the group would have been able to save a lot of time by following the path opened by them.

The Whisperer locked onto a fleeing blood mink and caught it in a few moves. The Whisperer grabbed its tail and whispered softly in its ear.

The blood mink had a look of struggle on its face, but it quickly became absent-minded. It landed on the swamp and dashed in a certain direction.

"It's done. It knows the location of that Golden Divine Crocodile. Just follow it," the Whisperer said as he returned to the group.

Householder Peach Blossom nodded and waved his hand. The group activated their movement techniques and chased after the blood mink in front of them.

As the swamp was not suitable for riding, everyone kept their mounts. Gu Chen also placed the Infinite Tyrannosaurus Rex in his internal space.

The group moved forward with their movement techniques, so it was easy to see who was stronger.

The fastest among them were Householder Peach Blossom and Lady Storm. Householder Peach Blossom was faster because his Daoist power was denser than the others, while Lady Storm was good at movement techniques.

The edges of the wooden armor on the hands and feet of the craftsman would spew out flames from time to time. This allowed his fat body to move without clumsiness. Instead, his speed reached third place.

Tu Xiong and the Whisperer's speed was fourth and fifth respectively, while Gu Chen was lagging behind. It seemed that his movement technique was only at the level of not dragging the group down.

To the group, this was only natural. The craftsman would occasionally turn around and look at Gu Chen with disdain. The killing intent in the depths of his eyes became even more intense.

As they chased after the blood mink, they went deeper and deeper into the Desolate Swamp. Gu Chen, who was lagging behind, suddenly sensed something. He raised his eyebrows and looked toward a corner of the forest.

There was nothing there, and the people in front of him did not sense anything like he did. Gu Chen revealed a contemplative look.

He did not take any action and continued to follow the people in front of him. After that, the feeling of being spied on appeared from time to time.
