Chapter 40: Meeting
About an hour after the group set off, the five people sat down and refused to move forward half a step, feeling the ferocious aura around them, the traveling horse let out an anxious roar from time to time, and at the same time, the footsteps kept retreating, if it were not for a few people to drive away, I am afraid that they would have fled in the wilderness.
"I can only get here, the traveling horse can't stand the ferocious aura in the dark swamp, even if they are killed, it is estimated that they will not take another step forward, fortunately, this place is not far from the position agreed by Yang Protector, and it doesn't hurt for a few of us to rush over with light skills." Bao Dameng was the first to dismount and spoke.
"Yes, Master." Bao Dameng spoke, Gu Zihua and the others naturally had no opinions, Li Mu saw this, and could only follow the dismount, if he hadn't mastered a light skill now, otherwise he really couldn't keep up with the footsteps of a few NPCs.
However, at this time, Li Mu's heart also began to feel a little uneasy, for no other reason, his identity was fake, if Yang Buguiyi accidentally mentioned his identity as a disciple of the Moon Sword Pavilion, or Bao Dameng mentioned his identity as a messenger of the Divine Sect, then the fun would be great, no matter which NPC was angry, he would definitely die.
But at the moment, he didn't have a good way, the grimace curse made him have to send Bao Dameng to Yang Bugui, at this time, there were only a few hours left before the curse broke out, if he couldn't arrive in time, the consequences would not need to be said.
The terrain of the Dark Swamp is more than ten times worse than the original wilderness plain, and perhaps the first part of the road is a broad road, and the next foot is caught in a quagmire trap, even if it is a random weed on the side of the road, it may hide a deadly danger.
Although a few people were cautious all the way, they still provoked several groups of monsters to besiege them, but fortunately, Bao Dameng's strength was super strong, and he dealt with these ordinary monsters of low level, and killed them with a few random empty palms.
The five of them walked and stopped for more than twenty minutes, and at this time they had gone deeper into the dark swamp for more than twenty kilometers, and the area of the dark swamp was much smaller than that of the wilderness, and it was only fifty or sixty kilometers in radius, so Li Mu and the others had now almost reached the center of the dark swamp.
The strange thing is that when a few people entered the depths of the dark swamp, there were many fewer zombies encountered on the road, especially the high-level black iron zombies, and they didn't see any of them, which couldn't help but make Li Mu more cautious in his heart.
Click......
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps stepping on the dead grass in front of him, this sound of footsteps was very abrupt in the depths of the quiet swamp, not only Li Mu, but even Gu Zihua and others were also on guard, only Bao Dameng, who was extremely confident in his own strength, just looked casually towards the place where the sound came from.
After a while, behind the fog, a tall black shadow appeared, Li Mu's field of vision was excellent, and he soon saw that this was a figure about two meters tall, his whole body was wrapped in a layer of black armor, and his body was covered with all kinds of green mucus and dark red blood, as if he had just experienced a tragic battle.
As the black shadow approached, Li Mu found that this person's movements were very stiff, like a zombie appearing in a swamp, and when the black shadow came to about ten meters in front of several people, Li Mu could already clearly see the temple appearance of the black shadow.
With blue-black skin, white eyes, rolled muscles, and sharp teeth, sure enough, this is a zombie with very obvious characteristics, but because the zombie has not been formed for a long time, the muscles on the surface of this zombie's body still have a faint bloody gas.
"It's strange, how can this figure give me a very familiar feeling, who is it?" Li Mu secretly thought about love in his heart, but soon, he was interrupted.
"Jie Ji, Bao Hall Master, you are here." What shocked Li Mu was that the person who spoke was actually the zombie in front of him, and the voice was the zombie Taoist Yang Bugui.
Bao Dameng smiled faintly and said, "Yang Protector, you and I have always been from the well water and not the river water, I don't know why you called me here today, why do you want to do it?" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, you come with me first, this is not the place to talk." After Yang Bugui finished speaking, he turned around and led the way forward.
Bao Dameng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, but silently followed behind the zombie in front of him.
After advancing for about two or three miles, Li Mu and the others entered a ruined palace, and without waiting for Li Mu and the others to speak, Yang Bugui first explained, "This dark swamp was originally an excellent feng shui treasure land, and there was once a prince who built a palace here, but he offended a dark master and was slaughtered overnight, and this place has become what it is now because of the large amount of dark aura remaining. ”
After entering the palace, something happened that surprised Li Mu, only to see hundreds of zombies of various forms standing on the palace square, these zombies were like army soldiers, all standing motionless in the square, even if Li Mu and other living people approached, they did not make the slightest movement.
"These are the zombie armies I have collected in the Dark Swamp during this time, although the quality is not very good, but it is better than the large number, and it is not a problem to resist the group of ordinary city guards in Nantian City."
"What do you want to do?" Bao Dameng asked in a deep voice, "I don't remember that there was an order to attack Nantian City. ”
"Haha, don't worry, I naturally can't be bored enough to attack Nantian City, you have been lurking in it for many years, the news must be better than me, this Hidden King treasure near Nantian City is about to be born, you shouldn't know about this matter."
"Yes, I know, but what does that have to do with you gathering an army of zombies?"
"Hmph, there are many dragons and snakes in Nantian City, without this zombie army, it would be difficult for me to take action personally and clean up those wastes." Yang Bugui snorted coldly and stopped.
Li Mu looked up, only to see that there was a well-preserved hall in front of him, and in the middle of the hall, there was a black figure meditating cross-legged, and then, a cloud of white gas suddenly appeared from the black-armored zombie in front of Li Mu, and shot into the black figure.
The black figure slowly turned around, and Li Mu looked at it, it was Yang Bugui himself.
Bao Dameng was silent for a moment and asked, "You came to me, didn't you just tell me this." ”
"Naturally not, we are all people who understand, I won't go around in circles, I plan to cooperate with you and win the treasure of the Hidden King together." Yang Bugui said directly.
"How? Now the specific location of the treasure has not yet been determined, as far as I know, there are no less than twenty Earth Demon Masters in Nantian City now, and it is impossible for the two of us to swallow the treasure alone. Bao Dameng sneered.
"Hehe, those wastes, I'm not afraid of any more of them, the only thing that makes me jealous is the three of them."
"Which three?"
"First, it is this Nantian City Lord Tie Nantian, he is a master of the Great Perfection of the Earth, he is only one step away from entering the innate world, and his strength is only stronger than me, not weak, therefore, I must join forces with you to win against him steadily."
When Bao Dameng heard this, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said, "You are known as a zombie Taoist, I don't believe it, you don't have a zombie in your hands?" If you join forces with a zombie, it won't be a problem to outperform him. ”
Yang Bugui listened, the anger on his face flashed, and he said after half a ring, "Originally, I did have a bronze corpse king here, if nothing else, when the treasure is opened, it can also smoothly evolve to the level of the silver corpse king, but I don't know why, the seal I laid was lifted in advance, and as a result, a few thieves took advantage of it and killed the corpse king." ”
"I see." Bao Dameng suddenly realized, and then asked, "Who are the remaining two?" ”
"The second one, naturally, is Guo Mingyu, the chief owner of this eighteen chain villages, he, like me, is a master of the late stage of the Earth Evil, and his strength is also between me and me, and I am not completely sure of beating him."
"And the third?"
"The last one is a man named Lei Wanjun, this guy's origin is very mysterious, I have probed several times, but I haven't found out his details."
"Lei Wanjun, the leader of the Four Seas." Without waiting for Bao Dameng to speak, Gu Zihua exclaimed first, "This person can't have such a strong strength, I remember that two years ago, his strength was just getting started." ”
