Chapter 180: Artificial Quagmire

Facts proved that Ye Ning's judgment was correct.

According to the direction shown by the combat power detector, Ye Ning really came to the edge of a swampy quagmire.

And the combat power value of 1,400 detected was in the center of the swamp quagmire in front of him.

Ye Ning couldn't help frowning, somewhat skeptical of his judgment.

First, because Tang Slash's combat power value is not 1,400 wholes.

Although affected by various factors, it is extremely normal for each person's combat power value to fluctuate within a certain range in different environments.

But this kind of fluctuation is basically unlikely to appear on Tang Shu's body.

The second is because...... The center of the swamp quagmire is still five meters below the depth of five meters, not to mention the pressure from the swamp, just to say that in the muddy mire, it is simply impossible to breathe.

And on this swampy land, Ye Ning didn't see any hollow tubes that could be used to support breathing.

Silently calculating in his heart, Ye Ning was sure that if he was in a swampy quagmire five meters deep and couldn't breathe at all, he would definitely not be able to hold on for more than five minutes.

So without hesitation, Ye Ning sat directly on the ground, right on the edge of this almost swamp, and didn't care how dirty the ground was.

Support your chin with one hand and ...... I sat there for a full five minutes.

There was still no movement in the swamp, and the 1,400 combat power value was still presented on the combat power probe, and even the position had not changed in the slightest, as if it were a dead thing.

But the question is...... Although the dead person will not make any movements, it is equally impossible to have any spiritual reaction.

What the hell is going on?

Ye Ning frowned and stood up again, reached out and patted the dust on his buttocks, and was a little undecided for a while.

However, this hesitation did not last long, Ye Ning still wanted to figure out why there was such a numerical feedback of combat power in the swamp quagmire.

He could now be sure that it was definitely not Tang Slash hiding in the swamp quagmire.

A creature that can hold its breath in a swampy quagmire for so long should never have appeared under spiritual cultivation.

So it's very likely...... This combat power feedback should come from some kind of spirit guide device!

Rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Ye Ning turned his head and began to look for something nearby that could be useful.

If you want to go into the swamp quagmire to investigate, of course the corresponding safety work must be done well, otherwise...... Just to satisfy your curiosity, it would be too cost-effective to put your life into it.

After almost ten minutes of preparation, Ye Ning used the shrubs and vines that could be seen everywhere in the swamp to tie a temporary rope more than twenty meters long.

One end of the rope was tied around his waist, while the other end of the rope was tied to the trunk of an ancient tree on the edge of the swampy mire.

A long, hollow stubble was then attached to ensure a minimum breathing requirement after entering the swamp mire.

With these preparations ready, Ye Ning took a deep breath and stepped into the swamp quagmire.

As with all swamp mire, the first step is like stepping on flat ground, and there is no feeling of deep feet in the mud.

But as Ye Ning took step by step, almost a dozen steps away, his shoes began to sink into the mud around him.

This is due to the dense nature of the swamp mire, so when you first step on it, you will not be swallowed up by the mire directly.

But as we go farther and farther in the swamp quagmire, no amount of density can support the weight of the human body.

Basically, if someone strays into the swamp, they won't find out until this time.

Under normal circumstances, the first reaction of ordinary people must be to try their best to pull their feet out of the quagmire, but in the swamp, once such an instinctive reaction is made, it means that death is getting closer and closer!

Because in the swamp quagmire, there is no focus in the first place!

Trying to pull one foot out of the mire means that the other foot needs to exert more force on the swamp mire!

The application of this force will naturally make the foot that it is exerting deeper in.

That's why, once someone gets stuck in a swamp, the more they struggle, the faster they will fall into it until they are swallowed up.

The viscosity formed by the large density has a strong pulling force, so that it is easy to sink in and want to get out...... It's a lot of difficulties.

However, the vines prepared by Ye Ning were strong enough, and the length of more than twenty meters was more than enough for Ye Ning to explore, so entering this swampy quagmire was not in any danger for Ye Ning for the time being.

As you sink deeper and deeper into the swamp quagmire, the pressure from the quagmire increases.

When the chest cavity is also sunk in, it becomes more and more difficult to breathe.

Because with each breath, the position of the chest cavity needs to squeeze the surrounding mud out, which is of course a huge burden for the physiological activity of breathing, which has to be carried out every minute and every second.

Soon, the swamp quagmire engulfed Ye Ning entirely, except for a long straw and the vines that bound the trunk and Ye Ning, there was no trace of Ye Ning's visit in this swamp.

At the last moment when he was swallowed up by the swamp quagmire, Ye Ning glanced at the distance and location displayed on the combat power detector again, then closed his eyes, and slowly moved towards the thing with 1,400 combat power with memory and perception.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to act of one's own will in the swamp quagmire.

Ye Ning almost used up all the strength of his body to barely maintain a certain degree of autonomy after falling into the quagmire.

It's just a few meters away, but Ye Ning has worked hard for more than ten minutes!

When he finally came to the thing with 1,400 combat power, Ye Ning suddenly found that his feet were actually standing at the bottom!

This swampy quagmire...... It's only five meters deep?!

How can it be so shallow?!

Ye Ning was stunned, stretched out his feet and stepped on it as hard as he could, and found that the bottom of this swamp was extremely flat, and there were no potholes that should be under normal circumstances......

A rather strange thought couldn't help but come to Ye Ning's mind.

Could it be ...... This small patch of marshland is not a natural formation, but a ...... Artificially excavated?

Feeling more and more confused, Ye Ning no longer hesitated, bent down hard, stretched out his hand and groped around, wanting to touch the thing with 1,400 combat power.

About half a minute later, at knee height, Ye Ning touched something that was extremely cold to the tentacles!
