Compared to humans, the Black Witch Clan is short in stature, with an average height of around 1.3 meters for men and 1.1 meters for women, so it is almost impossible for human cultivators to secretly sneak into the hinterland of the Black Water Swamp without being detected.

It's like suddenly having a horse in the flock, and it's hard not to pay attention.

In addition, the Black Witch people are extremely xenophobic, not their own people are treated as enemies, almost never communicate with the outside world, and there are not even a few traders who shuttle between the two clans, which is difficult for outsiders to enter the Black Water Swamp, unless they rely on force to enter the imperial city, otherwise, if they want to sneak in unknowingly, it is not as easy as ascending to the sky.

Of course, there are always exceptions.

What others can't do doesn't mean Zhang Qingfeng can't do it!

With the map given by Ge Green, the distribution map of the major forces in the Blackwater Swamp was firmly imprinted in his mind.

He took the little black dragon and the fat monk to avoid the densely populated core towns, and chose the sparsely populated wilderness to walk, although he was also discovered by a few black witches on the way, but he avoided them with great mana.

The powerhouse of the Tianmen Realm, that is the top existence in the continent, unless the other party dispatches a master of the same realm or a dark wizard who is good at breath tracking, otherwise, no one can help Zhang Qingfeng, who escaped with all his might.

A month later, a gray-brown urban complex came into the sight of Zhang Qingfeng and the others.

It is more than 500 miles away from the border of the swamp, and the black clouds in the sky are like icebergs that cannot be dissolved, giving people a sense of suffocation as if the sky is falling.

"Do you know why no one has been willing to go deep into the swamp to find trouble with the Black Witch Clan for so many years?" Standing in a low bush, Zhang Qingfeng looked at the Imperial City of the Black Witch Empire like a sleeping beast in the distance, and suddenly asked the fat monk.

"This ......" The fat monk thought for a while, shook his head, and said flatteringly: "I don't know, please teach me from the master." ”

Zhang Qingfeng glanced at the fat monk helplessly, and said, "Although you were the stupidest of my followers in the past, after a thousand years, even a stone can be cultivated into refinement, and it is a little annoying for you to pretend to be stupid like this." ”

The fat monk saw that Zhang Qingfeng's face was wrong, so he knelt on the ground in fright, and said in a panic: "Master, although the slave has speculated a few possibilities, but thinking that since the master asked the slave like this, the reason must not be so simple, so the slave didn't dare to say." ”

"Alright, get up. ”

Zhang Qingfeng stretched out his hand to help the fat monk, looked at the cold sweat that broke out on his face, sighed, and said: "Second fool, I know your loyalty to me, and I understand your awe of me, but if you want to step into the Nine Realms martial arts cultivators, the most important thing is not to cultivate your strength, but to break your heart and demons!"

"From the day I saw you, I felt that there was a shackle in your heart, allowing you to stay at the peak of the Eight Realms for so long, and never be able to take a step forward, these days I have been thinking, what is blocking your way to break the mirror, just now I suddenly figured it out, your inner demon, it is me!"

Seeing the fat monk staring at him fixedly, Zhang Qingfeng continued with a firm expression: "So, in order to help you break the demons in your heart as soon as possible, from this moment on, I will no longer recognize you as a minion, and you don't have to call me master anymore, we are called brothers, you, Sha Potian, are my Zhang Qingfeng's brother!"

"Master!"

Hearing this, the fat monk knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

When Zhang Qingfeng rescued the fat monk, he had sworn to him as a slave for life, and from that day on, he regarded Zhang Qingfeng as a god-like respect, and never thought that one day he would call the Qingdi a brother and sister.

In his mind, it was already a great honor to be Zhang Qingfeng's guard, and afterwards Zhang Qingfeng was killed by a sneak attack, and he risked his life to steal the body, not hesitating to spend thousands of years just to resurrect the master, his Geng Geng is loyal, heaven and earth, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second person.

After the master and servant reunited again, the fat monk was even more loyal and conscientious, and never questioned Zhang Qingfeng's orders, they were all unconditionally obeyed and implemented, he originally thought that this kind of master and servant status would continue forever, who knew that Zhang Qingfeng was commensurate with him as a brother in order to help him break the mirror, which he never dreamed of.

Zhang Qingfeng heard the fat monk call the master again, and said unhappily: "Didn't you just say it? Just call me eldest brother in the future, an old guy who is more than a thousand years old, crying and crying, and he is not afraid of other people's jokes, Bai Xue, do you say?"

The little black dragon was simple and innocent, and naturally he couldn't understand the feelings of the fat monk, and when he saw that he was crying pear blossoms with rain, he couldn't help but step forward to wipe his tears and said, "Little fat man, my brother has relieved you of your slave status, you should be happy, why are you crying?

Seeing the little black dragon's curious and puzzled eyes, the fat monk cried even more fiercely, "Dragon girl, I cried when I was happy, I was happy." ”

It wasn't until the fat monk's mood stabilized that Zhang Qingfeng asked again: "Second fool, you haven't answered the previous question to the eldest brother, now let's talk about it, what do you think is the real reason?"

The fat monk retracted his mind, frowned and thought about it seriously, and said, "There are many reasons, but slave ...... The younger brother's opinion is that it should have something to do with the fact that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here is too thin! The black clouds in this sky seem to separate this swamp from the entire continent, and the martial cultivators below the Seven Realms cannot be replenished by the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi here at all! And with my Eight Realms cultivation, the recovery speed is only one-twentieth of that of the outside world. ”

"Yes, that's fundamental!"

The fat monk's answer made Zhang Qingfeng feel very pleased.

"The environment of the black water swamp is special, the so-called water and soil on one side nourish the living beings on the other, many exotic flowers and plants here are not available in the outside world, in terms of value, it is immeasurable, with the greed of the major forces in the cultivation world for wealth and power, it is impossible to put such a large piece of fat in your mouth but endure not to take a bite. I didn't take other guards in the Ice Phoenix Palace to adventure, because the exercises they practiced relied too heavily on the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and once they didn't get timely replenishment, there would only be a dead end under the siege of the Black Witch Clan, and you were different from Bai Xue, your King Kong Body had already cultivated to the Transformation Realm, even in an environment without the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it could maintain a high-intensity battle, Bai Xue didn't need to mention, the fierce beasts of the Black Water Swamp were a great supplement for her, she could completely replenish her energy by eating, and took a step back and said, in case of any accidents, we can always escape, and it will not be so easy to change to other guards。 ”

After listening to Zhang Qingfeng's words, the fat monk's eyes once again showed a high respect from the bottom of his heart, and he also vaguely understood why so many people were willing to follow him back then.

The reason is very simple, because the Lord Qingdi, who once ascended the throne of the strongest person in the continent, will take the safety and interests of his followers into account when making any decision, unlike the overlords of some forces, who only treat themselves as human beings and treat others as dogs.

"Big, big brother, little brother suddenly thought of something. The fat monk stammered and called out to the eldest brother, who seemed to be very unaccustomed.

"You say. ”

"Qi Yunfei and Shangguan Lin'er are both dead friends with the eldest brother, the eldest brother treats them like brothers and sisters, the eldest brother should be happy when he ascends, why did they sneak attack? What good is it for them to kill the eldest brother?" The fat monk said the doubts that had been buried in his heart for more than a thousand years, and he wanted to say but did not dare to say it.
