Chapter 406: Hardship

The team of people and horses followed the path opened up before, and the road was unexpectedly calm, not to mention the three major killers, even an ordinary swamp creature is difficult to see.

Such a situation not only did not make Xiao Gu feel easy, but gave him great pressure.

The Foggy Moon Swamp is also a thousand miles in radius, and according to the speed of everyone, it only takes two or three hours to pass through.

The soft mud, the smelly puddles, the rotting rhizomes of various aquatic plants, mosquitoes, etc., the whole swamp exudes a disgusting smell.

In the blink of an eye, it was more than an hour, and although Xiao Gu was at the back of the line, he was about to approach the center of the swamp at this time.

"What's the matter, there's no movement, it's not right!" Xiao Gu frowned.

If you want to say that those old guys won't take the opportunity to attack him, you don't believe it.

At this time, it was close to noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the swamp was floating countless mist under the scorching sun.

Rustle, rustle......

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in all directions, as if countless legs were playing with the dead branches and leaves in the swamp.

"It's not good, get ready, it's a giant ant," a barbarian sent by the martial spirit exclaimed.

Sure enough, Xiao Gu sneered, and with a wave of his hand in a hurry, tens of thousands of cultivators scattered and separated, forming a strange formation in place, with the barbarians on the periphery holding shields, and the middle ones holding some strange powdery things.

The rustling was getting closer, interspersed with heavy sounds, like boulders crashing into the swamp or logs dragging through the mire.

These old immortal guys actually got all the giant ants, pythons and crocodiles, and they really underestimated them, Xiao Gu looked at the front coldly, with a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.

Bang bang bang......

In the next moment, all the voices suddenly stopped, and then a dense army of ants rushed out of the fog and smashed on the shields around them.

These calf-sized ants are extremely hideous, with long tentacles and six long legs that make people's scalps tingle.

"Do it," Xiao Gu said calmly.

The powder was thrown out and spread rapidly after being stained with the mist in the swamp, and the hazy white mist around it turned pitch black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, the black mist wafted for thousands of meters on both sides of the path.

"Hiss, hiss......"

There were screams in the mist, and from time to time behemoths rolled in them, as if they were trying to endure some kind of pain.

Go, Xiao Gu sneered.

The whole team kept the formation at this time and moved quickly, but the painful howls of the killers in the fog could not disturb the resolute hearts of these warriors, they increased their speed and ran forward, and in just half a pillar of incense ran out of the range where the black mist was.

Roar!

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering roar from the swamp.

A hundred-foot-tall behemoth rushed out of the mist, and the surrounding swamp collapsed and rumbled.

What kind of monster is this, Xiao Gu frowned.

This guy is beyond the scope of the monster here, although he looks the same as a crocodile, but his size is very different.

The giant crocodile is huge and incomparable, although it was nothing before, but now, it is undoubtedly difficult to defeat.

Its body was covered in dirt, and a thick layer formed a cocoon.

This monster has lived for an unknown amount of time, it is the ancestor of the crocodile, it has slept in the depths of the swamp, buried under the silt, but now it has been awakened by the guide to use it against Xiao Gu.

Quickly retreat, Xiao Gu shouted.

If it was the only one, he believed that he could kill it at some cost, but unfortunately, he had already seen other behemoths approaching rapidly from two other directions.

A giant python the same size of 100 zhang, and on the other side are dozens of giant ants 10 zhang in size.

In order to kill me, these old guys are really ruthless, Xiao Gu sighed.

These monsters don't know how long they have been asleep, if it weren't for this time to deal with Xiao Gu, I'm afraid they would all run out of vitality in their slumber and die silently.

The black mist, that is, the poison, has lost its effect, and for these behemoths, maintenance is not as terrifying as imagined.

Xiao Gu waved his hand calmly, leaving the three hundred warriors to retreat as they walked, while the rest of the warriors ran fast to get out of the swamp as fast as possible.

In the swamps, the superiority of troops is not enough to play, and the terrain affects the terrain, which makes it difficult to deal with these behemoths.

But if you want to get out of the swamp, it's not that hard to deal with these guys.

This is the middle of the swamp, hundreds of miles from the edge, and the speed of the behemoths is obviously faster than them, so it is not easy to escape.

Leaving behind all the incendiary materials, Xiao Gu gritted his teeth and drank.

Countless powders were sprinkled one after another, all of which he had painstakingly collected, almost all of his storage had been depleted in the last war, and these were newly made, but unfortunately he had only collected a small part of them because of the materials.

Rumble!

Soaring fires rose from the swamp, and the walls of flames were thousands of feet wide.

The two super-beasts and dozens of ants had to stop when they chased them to the wall of flames, which was instinct and could not be changed.

Their intelligence is not profound, they are just controlled.

The creatures of the swamp, or any living thing, are afraid of fire, and it is not so easy to overcome their instincts.

When Xiao Gu ran hundreds of miles, he finally heard the roar behind him.

This means that the giant beast has broken through the flame defense line and is rapidly approaching here, but unfortunately, it is already too late.

In a short period of time, Xiao Gu finally rushed out of the swamp and came to the shore.

Roar!

A large number of giant beasts converged to the edge of the swamp with a loud noise, staring at Xiao Gu and the others one by one, their eyes blood-red, and their bloodthirsty color was undisguised.

"Old fellows, I know you can hear it, wait for death!"

Xiao Gu stared at the giant beast in front of him and smiled coldly, then turned around and left quickly.

The countless beasts in the swamp roared but did not dare to come ashore, and these creatures that lived in the swamp were like fish leaving the water once they left the swamp.

In this battle, it seems that Xiao Gu has won again.

But he didn't have the slightest joy, only worry.

The battle seemed simple, almost with less than fifty casualties and had already passed through the place, but with the loss of some resources, it seemed that it was not worth mentioning at all.

But in fact, his losses were actually very large.

Let's not talk about the matter of pathfinding because it was made easy with the help of the martial spirit, let's just say that the resources he wasted before were already all his reserves, and they were the means he kept to deal with all the dangers that followed, but just here, these have been exhausted.

Next, is there only a hard fight? Xiao Gu lamented.

......

I have to say that the threat of 100,000 brute soldiers really scared those old guys, and such a large-scale provocation made them feel frightened.

After all, the guides are only guides, and the extent to which they can influence this world realm is limited, to put it bluntly, they are only the executors of the rules of this world realm, not the masters.

In addition, in order to preserve the vitality of life, the amount of power they can develop and use is not very much.

But even so, in the following days, Xiao Gu was also full of trouble.

In the lush primeval jungle, there are brute beasts rushing out of the attack team at all times, although there are not many, but the victory is endless, and it is overwhelming.

Brutes, poisonous insects, traps...... , all kinds of dangers emerge in an endless stream, beyond imagination.

In less than ten days of marching forward, more than 2,000 soldiers died, and such a casualty ratio made Xiao Gu hate it.

These were two thousand heavily armed warriors, each of whom had the ninefold combat power of Nivan, and with their strength, two thousand men were enough to sweep through all the camps that had been held today, without any scruples.

But such a warrior, a soldier who should have died on the battlefield, died because of some sneak attack in the dark, the bite of some unknown poisonous insect, such a method of death is undoubtedly sad.

No, it can't go on like this, Xiao Gu gritted his teeth.

It occurred to him the question of why the old fellows knew he was there and had enough time to set a trap.

If you want to say that you are supervising the world, it is absolutely impossible!

It's hard for these old guys to even save their lives, let alone monitor the world, and it's clear that they're using some strange methods.

And finding this method is undoubtedly very important to Xiao Gu!
