Chapter 58: Threatened
This strange creature will sneak up on everyone from underground, which can't help but make everyone nervous, and they all bow their heads to make sure that the ground under their feet is safe.
Chen Youyun was silent for a moment, then ordered to move on, and everyone embarked on the journey again.
Lin Jiuyou walked up to Chen Youyun and whispered, "Miss Lin, try to follow me as much as possible, don't get too far away!"
"Hmm. Chen Youyun nodded, a flash of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
"Roar!" From time to time, some spirit beasts would appear in the swamp to attack everyone, but they were all killed one by one.
At noon, the crowd walked to a waterhole, the waterhole was silent, and the deep and turbid water blocked people's vision, and it was impossible to see what was in the pool.
Suddenly, a huge splash erupted from the waterhole, pouring it on everyone, and a huge black shadow appeared in the splash, attacking the people.
Everyone immediately subconsciously retreated, and one of the Lu family's herb pickers reacted a little slowly, and was suddenly swept into the waterhole by the black shadow, and the person only had time to let out a miserable scream and disappeared, and then the black shadow also disappeared into the waterhole.
After a while, a stream of blood came out from the bottom of the pool, dyeing the pool water red, making everyone feel chills in their backs.
Chen Youyun's face was pale, and she didn't seem to have come back to her senses, she looked at Lin Jiuyou and said, "Young Master Lin, what kind of monster is that?"
Lin Jiuyou's brows furrowed and said, "It should be a water python." ”
Chen Youyun showed a worried look and said, "This Yun Mengze is really too dangerous, if you wait for the medicine, how many people will die?"
Lin Jiuyou comforted her a few words, and then everyone went on the road again, this time people were more cautious, and they would be careful when passing by the waterhole.
As night fell, the people camped in a wide clearing, pitched tents, and lit a fire in the center.
The crowd sat around the fire, nibbling on dry food, and no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very dull.
In this dangerous swamp, life is threatened at every moment, and two people have died today, so how can everyone still talk and laugh.
The Shi brothers sat away from everyone, their heads down and whispering, not knowing what they were talking about. The people did not get along with them, and they did not want to deal with them.
After eating, Chen Youyun arranged for the night watchman and let everyone enter the tent to rest.
Lin Jiuyou came to his tent, observed for a while, and then sat down and began to cultivate.
The night was deep, and there was always a rustling sound in the waterhole not far away, and the howl of spirit beasts sounded from time to time in the distance, making the night in the swamp seem more mysterious and dangerous.
In the middle of the night, the sound of fighting woke everyone who were resting, and everyone got out of the tent to observe what was happening.
Dozens of meters in front of the camp, a tall figure was fighting with a spirit beast, that person was holding a big knife, and he drew a brilliant sword and constantly slashed at the spirit beast on the opposite side.
It was the stone ground among the Shi family brothers, and the one who fought with him was a huge ant, the ant was half a zhang tall and one zhang long, and its whole body was pitch black, and it looked extremely hideous.
It was the well-known second-order spirit beast Black Sky Ant in the swamp.
The strength of the stone ground is extremely strong, firmly suppressing the Black Sky Ants, and the big knife is waved like a wave in the sea, slashing the Black Sky Ants back again and again.
Although the attack power of the black sky ant is not as good as that of the stone land, its defense power is extremely strong, and the stone earth's knife is like a symphony of gold and iron when it slashes at it, bursts of sparks flash in the dark night, and the sharp knife can't split the shell of the black sky ant.
After fighting for a long time, Shi Di seemed to have run out of patience, and after snorting coldly, his teeth bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the blade in his hand.
Then, Shi Di's mouth was full of words, as if he was performing some secret technique, and the blade soaked in blood suddenly emitted a faint light.
"Die!" Shi Di roared, and the glowing broadsword was raised high and slashed at the head of the Black Sky Ant.
"Squeak!"
A miserable hiss sounded from the mouth of the Black Sky Ant, and it was deeply slashed into the head by the large knife of the stone ground. The black sky ant let out a mournful roar and slowly fell to the ground.
Shi Di drew his long knife and slowly exhaled a cloudy breath before turning back to the camp.
"Good!" everyone applauded, impressed by the extremely strong attack power of the stone ground, especially the secret method he had finally cast.
Lin Jiuyou glanced at Shi Di thoughtfully, and secretly speculated in his heart: This Shi Di seems to be more powerful than his brother Shi Tian, and the secret method he cast seems to be able to enhance the attack power, so he has to guard against it.
Shi Di returned to the camp and said disdainfully to everyone: "A group of fools, they are still here to protect others, and they don't even know that the spirit beast is coming to sneak attack, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know how to die." ”
Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but feel angry, even Chen Youyun in the back was ugly, and the little admiration for Shidi just now was gone.
However, because of the strength of the Shi brothers, no one dared to talk back to him, and everyone didn't want to argue with him, so they returned to the tent to rest.
Lin Jiuyou smiled indifferently and returned to the tent.
After the night was uneventful, and when the sky became brighter, everyone continued on their way.
Two days later, everyone finally approached the center of the swamp and came to the destination of this trip, Yunmengze.
Seeing Yun Mengze, which was vast and vast not far away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally arrived, and after three days of hard work, there was finally hope. In the past three days, the group can be said to have experienced a lot of hardships and encountered all kinds of dangers.
The first day into the swamp was the easiest and safest, and it only fell two people. The next day, as the crowd went deeper, the swamp finally showed its terrible fangs.
A large number of swamp spirit beasts began to appear, hiding in waterholes and aquatic plants to constantly sneak up on everyone, making everyone tired, and people were constantly dying.
In addition, the quagmire has also become dense, and it is hidden under the dense aquatic weeds, and if you are not careful, someone will fall into it and lose their lives.
However, the most terrifying thing is not the spirit beast, but the plants in the swamp. For example, man-eating flowers, entangled vines, ghost mothergrass......
In this swamp, it can be said that there are crises everywhere, and every step is terrifying!
Lin Jiuyou followed dozens of people, many of whom were eaten by man-eating plants, and some were persecuted.
Lin Jiuyou also felt a little tired, he had been tense for the past three days, and he had been fighting non-stop, and his physical exertion was extremely serious.
After Chen Youyun arranged for a few people to be on guard, she asked everyone to sit down and rest on the spot, and then she came to Lin Jiuyou and sat down and talked with him.
