Chapter Forty-Eight: The Swamp Ice Bridge
At this time, a team of about two hundred people entered the 30,000-li area of the Murderous Mountain Range, all of them with extraordinary breaths, and they carefully probed their surroundings while moving forward quickly.
There are four white-robed old men in the middle of the team, and among the four white-robed old men there is a purple-clothed woman with a charming appearance, she is Mu Tong, and this team is the star-picking team formed by the Mu family.
Ye Tianxun was also in the middle of the team, next to Bai Anyan, who was dressed in a white robe. Although Mu Tong and the others' attitude towards Ye Tianxun had improved, Bai Anyan always had a trace of hostility, so he specially chose to stare at him.
Ye Tianxun did not reject Bai Anyan's actions, after all, he was helped by Bai Anyan at the beginning, but now he is in the period of counterfeiting, if he behaves excessively, it is inevitable that there will be accidents.
At this time, the team suddenly stopped, and Ye Tianxun immediately looked around, and it turned out that there was a huge swamp in front of him.
The swamp stretched endlessly, more than a hundred feet wide, and the black mire exploded upwards from time to time, and the strange gas emitted formed some miasma in the sky above.
Closer probe, one can see that there are some dangerous lifeforms in the black mire. Some of the members couldn't help but look a little nervous, the fierce beasts that could survive in such an environment must have extraordinary combat power.
"Miss, after passing this swamp, it's not far from the Absolute Valley. Mu Shun next to Mu Tong said.
Mu Tong nodded slightly, and then looked at the swamp, his cold expression of rejection thousands of miles away made people unable to see the slightest change.
Hearing that they were finally about to reach their destination, everyone's expressions suddenly relaxed a little. Over the past few years, members have been dying, making the rest of the personnel look tense.
The Star Picking Team recruited a total of one hundred Level 6 top cultivators, thirty external cultivators, and the Mu family dispatched nearly sixty cultivators. Along the way, there were only sixty-two sixth-level cultivators left, and four of the thirty external cultivators were unfortunately killed, but none of the Mu family members were injured.
Because the members of the Mu family are the main force competing for the Ice Jade Waguo, when they encounter danger, they are only from outside to fight on the front line, and they are responsible for long-range cover. Fortunately, the Mu family taught them several sets of formations and let them train for a period of time before they set off, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to penetrate 10,000 miles alone.
Sixth-level cultivators are responsible for carrying sundries, so they don't need to fight, and their position is also very safe. But because their aura is too weak, they always become the primary target of the fierce beasts, so they have become the group with the greatest casualties.
Looking at the black swamp, Ye Tianxun fell into thought.
It is obviously not possible to cross directly, because only he and a few leaders have the ability to fly; if they use some floating objects, they are easily destroyed by the fierce beasts in the swamp, and in the floating objects, their strength will definitely plummet, and it is very likely to fall into the encirclement of the fierce beasts; if they choose to take a detour, it is even more inappropriate, there are so many forces competing for the Ice Jade Baby Fruit, and they may miss the opportunity if they take a step later.
However, Ye Tianxun is not worried at all. Along the way, there were countless dangers, large and small, and the Mu family easily dealt with them, which also made him understand the strength of the Mu family and figure out some of the Mu family's methods
"I will borrow your hands to get the Ice Jade Fruit, and then draw the fire to you. The major forces have joined forces to deal with you, and I am really looking forward to that kind of scene. "Ye Tianxun has evil thoughts in his heart.
At this time, Ye Tianxun suddenly saw a piece of broken clothes on the swamp, and immediately realized that there were other forces one step ahead of the Mu family.
Mu Tong on the side noticed the slight change in Ye Tianxun, so he followed his gaze and looked forward, after seeing the torn clothes, Mu Tong's eyes were slightly condensed, and his jade hand was also pinched.
"Finally feeling anxious. Ye Tianxun said secretly in his heart, "I thought she would always be as quiet as the sea." ”
Ye Tianxun thought like this, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and he gloated. seems to have forgotten that this Ice Jade Baby Fruit is fought for him.
Mu Tong suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Tianxun coldly, his beautiful eyes seemed to have ice crystals in them.
Being stared at by Mu Tong like this, Ye Tianxun immediately put on a solemn expression: "Miss Mu, let's hurry up and find a way to get through this place, without the Ice Jade Baby Fruit, the transaction will not take place." ”
"Naturally. Mu Tong turned to look at the four Mu family leaders, "Prepare to forcibly cross over with Bing Xuansi." ”
"Yes, Miss. The four leaders nodded at the same time, and two of them flashed to the swamp.
The two leaders stood side by side, the white robes around them were windless, and then, the two of them raised their right arms at the same time, and there were faint fluctuations of energy between the sleeves.
Sou!
Two extremely thin white filaments shot out from between the sleeves of the two of them, and the speed of the white filaments was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it crossed the hundred-foot-wide swamp. White Silk continued to move forward, shooting through several tree trunks in a row before finally stopping, and then the two leaders fixed the other end of White Silk to the thick trunk nearby.
Ye Tian looked at the two white strands suspiciously, not understanding how these two things, thinner than a hair, could help them to get through the swamp.
Just when Ye Tian was looking for doubts, I saw the gestures of the two leaders, and some fluctuations of Xuan Qi were transmitted forward along the white silk.
Suddenly, some white water vapor rose above the white silk, and then, white water vapor continued to emerge. With the increase in quantity, Ye Tianxun realized that the white water vapor was not emitted by the white silk, but the surrounding water vapor was constantly converging towards the white silk.
Snort
A scene that surprised Ye Tianxun extremely much appeared: the thin white silk formed an ice-like chain with a diameter of five inches in a blink of an eye, and there were even countless ice picks extending downward under the "chain".
Not only Ye Tianxun, except for the people of the Mu family, the rest of the people were also staring closely at the changes in the white silk, and a very surprised reaction could be read in their eyes.
Soon, however, a cognitive memory of this object appeared in Ye Tianxun's mind.
Ice Xuansi, a very precious curiosity. On the surface, it looks like silk, but its toughness is more than 1,000 times that of steel wire, and its characteristic is that once stimulated by Xuan Qi, it will quickly absorb the surrounding water vapor and then condense into ice.
Bing Xuansi is a rare treasure, and only some top forces can have it, so many cultivators have never heard of it. Because Bing Xuansi is easy to use and its light and thin characteristics are very easy to carry, some top forces will prepare some to survive some dangerous places when they go out.
Mu Tong looked at the people around him, and his red lips opened lightly: "You go get some planks." ”
"Yes. More than a dozen cultivators from the Mu family quickly dispersed, and the rest of the recruiters also followed.
Snort......
Trees are constantly decomposed, and almost all of them have become one foot long, one foot wide, and one inch high. Many cultivators worked together, and soon accumulated a sufficient number of planks.
"Mu Hantian is in charge. Mu Tong looked at Mu Hantian.
"Yes, Miss. Mu Hantian nodded in understanding, and then took two steps forward.
Whew......
A trace of strong wind shot out from Mu Hantian's body surface, and as Mu Hantian's palm was raised, the power of the strong wind suddenly rose to a great height.
There was a constant whistling sound, and there seemed to be countless arms in the strong wind, and the hundreds of planks were quickly blown up, and then flew towards the two ice-like chains in the air.
Whew......
The wooden planks fell one by one on the two ice-like chains, the temperature of the chains was extremely low, because the planks contained a lot of fresh juice, so they were frozen the moment they touched the ice-like chains, and finally firmly fixed together, and an ice-wood bridge was formed!
After doing all this, Mu Hantian retreated to Mu Tong's side and waited for the next order.
During the formation of the icewood bridge, the fierce beasts in the swamp have been secretly observing the entire star-picking team, they are like hunters lurking in the mountains, patiently waiting for the prey to take the bait.
Poof!
A large area of black mud rolled, and a large crocodile-like beast showed a belly the size of a small boat, and the exposed belly was surprisingly white, and ordinary people really couldn't imagine that they could see other colors in this black and poisonous swamp.
The large crocodile-like beast continued to roll, quickly sinking into the black mud, only to flash a scarlet gaze in the brief gap.
The black boat crocodile, a fierce beast with great attacking power. Most of the adult black boat crocodiles are seventh-level fierce beasts, but in the swamp, their strength will increase exponentially, and ordinary eighth-level fierce beasts will not dare to fight against them.
At this time, the situation is obvious, solving the problem of the bridge is only the first step, and those fierce beasts will definitely not let them pass easily.
