Seeing the tentacles smashing down on him, Allen did not dodge at all. His eyes became extremely cold, but the temperature of the surrounding air rose rapidly. Even the rotten leaves by his feet began to burn. Just as the tentacles were about to hit Allen, the tentacles suddenly split in the middle or dislocated bit by bit. It was as if there were countless invisible blades in the air, cutting off the monster's tentacles!
The monster's male face let out a blood-curdling scream. The tentacles sprayed out yellow-green smelly liquid. They landed around Allen's head and suddenly turned into wisps of smelly green smoke. At this moment, the space above Allen's head gradually lit up. Golden sword gleams filled the surroundings. There were hundreds of golden swords on top of Allen's head. The monster's tentacles slammed down as if they had crashed into a forest of swords. It would be strange if they were not cut into pieces.
With a thought from Allen, the sword Qi that filled the space aimed at the monster. One of the golden swords vibrated and suddenly turned into a golden rainbow that flew into the distance. The golden rainbow hung on the monster's head and cut open a smooth wound on its muddy head. Before the blood in the wound could spurt out, sword gleams connected. In the dark swamp, rainbow lights appeared. Sword Qi crisscrossed, and the hissing sound of the air being cut could be heard.
When the sword Qi finished, the monster was covered in golden sword marks. Then, with a whoosh, it scattered into countless pieces of meat. The cube-shaped chunks of meat rolled into the swamp and gradually sank to the bottom. However, after the monster was killed by Allen, the swamp did not calm down. Instead, the bubbles under the swamp rose even more violently. One by one, the bubbles rushed to the surface. Allen sensed that there were many chaotic auras below him. But without exception, these auras all exuded a dangerous aura. He frowned and raised his hand. A golden flame rose from the tip of his finger. Allen flicked out this Golden King Flame. As soon as the golden flame fell into the swamp, it sank. On the surface of the swamp, Allen could see a golden halo gradually spreading below him.
The golden flames spread very quickly, as if a flame had fallen into gasoline. With a whoosh, it spread in all directions, illuminating the entire swamp. In the flames that rose from the bottom of the swamp, Allen saw countless black shadows, big and small things of all shapes and sizes moving around. Suddenly, the mud in front of Allen exploded, and a monster with the head of a fish and the body of a frog jumped out. However, it suddenly spewed out golden flames from its mouth and eyes. The monster was still in midair, but its limbs scattered and turned into dust.
Most of the monsters in the swamp suffered the same fate. They were all burned to ashes by the golden flames. Hot smoke rose from the swamp as the water was evaporated by Allen's golden flames. The mud was baked into lumps of mud, and the lumps of mud turned into hard soil after cooling. When the fire under the swamp was extinguished, the entire swamp no longer existed. All the dangerous creatures were swept away, and the soft swamp turned into a rugged ground. Allen simply raised his sword and swept it across the ground, causing a golden sword Qi to sweep across the ground. As a result, all the uneven places were cut up and turned to ashes. In the blink of an eye, the swamp became flat. Sheathing his sword, Allen stepped on the solid ground and walked forward.
When he stopped, a mountain lay in front of him. The mountain wall was covered with all sorts of vines. A golden light flashed in Allen's eyes, and the plants that covered the mountain wall caught fire. The burning process was very fast. After the vines that had been burned to ashes fell, a door was revealed. This stone door was more than ten meters tall and five meters wide. It was carved with the pattern of flames and warriors, as well as a circle of ancient characters of the Bailey Empire. Allen could not recognize these words, but he knew that this was the Door of Hope that Roderick had mentioned.
After finding the door, Allen returned the way he came. Not long after, he returned to the camp. When he got into the tent, Lucy and the other two girls had already fallen asleep in their arms, and he did not wake them up. He found a place to sit down, looked at the sketch of the terrain he had just drawn along the way, and gently folded it before getting into the quilt. The two women seemed to have sensed his return and wrapped themselves around him. One of them hugged Allen, and the three of them slept together.
The next day, there was a rare bit of sunlight in the Misty Mountains. However, even if there was sunlight that could penetrate the fog that didn\'t disperse all year round and shine into the forest, it still looked pale and powerless. In the pale sunlight, the army broke camp. Allen and Roderick rode in front. After listening to Allen\'s story of last night, Roderick sighed, "That swamp was later called the Coffin of the Dead, which means the coffin of the dead." After the Empire was forced to stop working on the Esabean Tunnel, they sent five teams a hundred years ago, intending to enter the tunnel to clear the Hellworms. The first three groups successfully entered the tunnel, but they were all driven out by the Hellworms. However, the last two groups didn\'t even see the shadow of the tunnel because the swamp blocked the way. When they passed through the swamp, they were ambushed by monsters. Among them was the Thousand-Faced Monster that the Grand Duke encountered last night … "
"Thousand-Faced Monster?" Allen narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently, "Marshal Roderick, isn\'t it a little boring for you to still test me at this time?"
Roderick coughed dryly and said, "Grand Duke, after all, I only saw your combat power in the intelligence. But as for your true strength, I don\'t know at all. That was why I deliberately concealed the information of the Thousand-Faced Monster and wanted to see how the Grand Duke would deal with it. I didn\'t expect that the swamp killer was not only killed by the Grand Duke, but also the countless monsters in the depths of the swamp were also wiped out by the Grand Duke. Please rest assured that with this time, I will no longer doubt your strength, Grand Duke. "
"That\'d better be the case." Allen paused and said, "What happened on the mountain road yesterday was very strange."
"Are you referring to the matter of the Shadow Duchy blowing up the road and blocking the way?"
Allen nodded and said, "How did the Shadow Duchy know that we would send an expedition? Only then could they make sufficient preparations on that mountain road in advance and blow up the road in one fell swoop, forcing us to change to the big tunnel. Marshal, don\'t you think there\'s a suspicion of leaking information on our side? "
"Actually, there are some people in the imperial capital who are serving the Shadow Duchy. I know this. Moreover, we can\'t hide such a big event like gathering an army. It\'s normal for the news to leak. Grand Duke doesn\'t have to worry too much. Wait until we pass through the mountain range and march into the Shadow Capital. With the strength of the Grand Duke and our army, won\'t we destroy the Shadow Duchy along with that monster army? "
Allen looked into the distance. "It should be so."
