Du Feng did not know that Gui Gu Shang Sheng had wasted a lightning elemental bead and a fire elemental bead because of the grey bats he lured away. That kind of pearl contained 50% of the power of an Ascendant realm battle skill. Unknowingly, he had eliminated two threats for himself.
By the time the fire was over, there were not many grey bats left. Gui Gu Shang Sheng then used the Earth Demon Sword Technique, and spikes suddenly shot out from the ground towards the sky, killing the remaining grey bats. His mind was still very clear. If he had relied on his own combat skills from the beginning, he would have consumed too much True Essence.
This way, he would first use the Lightning Elemental Bead and Fire Elemental Bead to blow them up, making things much easier. After dealing with the grey bat, Onigu Shang Sheng took out a wooden boat and rowed into the swamp with his brother and sister.
Not long after they left, Du Feng brought Sun Wen and Sun Xing to the edge of the swamp. Looking at the carnage on the scene, he knew that a great battle had taken place here. If his guess was right, someone must have wiped out the grey bats.
"Looks like the Gui Gu Clan is ahead of us."
Du Feng looked at the burn marks around him and concluded that this was the work of the Guigu Family. If he guessed correctly, he should have used something like a Fire Elemental Bead. This level of attack was not like a combat skill at the level of the Soaring Feather Realm. It was more like a combat skill that an Ascendant Realm Martial Artist could display.
However, the martial artists who entered the Feather Secret Realm could only break through to the third level of the Feather Transformation Realm at most. It was impossible for them to display the combat skills of the Ascendant Realm. The marks here were definitely caused by something like the Thunder Elemental Bead or the Fire Elemental Bead. In addition, the residual aura contained Guigu Lun Hai's aura, so Du Feng immediately concluded that it was Guigu Shang Sheng and the others who did it.
Children of aristocratic families who had elders to take care of them did indeed have an advantage. He believed that Sun Xing must have brought something similar with him. However, this kind of bead also had its limitations. It could not be used in a narrow space. For example, if he had used it in the corridor on the second floor of Wenyan Temple, he would have injured himself. In addition, if he didn't throw it at the right time, it could be dodged. This was also why Sun Xing had never dared to use it. It was because he could never grasp the right timing.
"What should we do? Should we avoid them?"
Sun Wen frowned after hearing this, feeling that this matter was a bit troublesome. There was already poisonous fog in the valley, and there was also the swamp in front of them. If they were to fight, there would be casualties, and there was a high chance that both sides would suffer. Once they were trapped in the swamp, none of them would be able to survive.
"Let's wait and see. We'll act according to the situation."
Of course, Du Feng would not purposely avoid Gui Guzi Shang Sheng, because fighting against strong opponents was also one of the ways he could improve. If you hide whenever you encounter difficulties, when will you be able to grow? He didn't have the support of a big family, and he had climbed all the way up by relying on his own hands.
This so-called improvisation was to remind Sun Wen and Sun Xing to quickly hide in the small world of the necklace if the situation turned bad. In a fight in the swamp, they would not only be of no help, but would be a hindrance. Previously, Du Feng didn't let them hide because he wanted to create an opportunity for Sun Xing to train. However, it was different in the swamp. They could lose their lives at any time.
"Got it, I won't give you any trouble."
Hearing this, Sun Xing was slightly unhappy. He thought that he also had the Five Elements Bead from his grandfather, so he might not be afraid of Gui Guzi Shang Sheng. They were all young people of the same generation from big families, so how could they be stronger than each other? On the other hand, Sun Wen was the first to agree. As long as she felt that something was wrong, she would immediately hide with her brother.
Du Feng already had a boat that could not sink in the swamp. Not only would his boat not sink, but it could also sail at a faster speed. There was no need to use oars to row the boat. It was powered by a fast-turning wooden propeller.
Du Feng didn't dare to let the boat sail too fast, because the surroundings were filled with poisonous fog, and it was impossible to see the road clearly. If they hit something and sank the ship, they would be in big trouble. Moreover, there was a Level 9 demonic beast, the Gulf Crocodile, in the swamp. This demonic beast's grade was not high in the Lower Realm, but in the special environment of the Feather Flying Mystic Realm, it actually grew to Level 9.
The strength of a Level 9 demonic beast, the Gulf Crocodile, was roughly equivalent to a Level 4 or 5 Ascension Realm human martial artist. Therefore, even with Du Feng leading the team, it was still very difficult. The best way was to not alarm this group of beasts.
Under the propeller's push, the small wooden boat sailed forward at a constant speed. Unknowingly, they had already traveled half the distance. They didn't see Gui Guzi Shang Sheng appear, nor did they see the legendary Gulf Crocodile. Even the cries of the birds that often echoed in the valley had disappeared.
Du Feng and the other two didn't speak, and the surrounding was so quiet that it was frightening. Sun Wen felt a little cold, and she couldn't help but move closer to Du Feng's back, grabbing onto his clothes tightly. Sun Xing looked at his sister and felt that he was a little unnecessary here.
"Pay attention to the bottom of the boat, and prepare for battle!"
Just when everyone thought that everything was fine, Du Feng suddenly gave the two a battle order. Since he told them to pay attention to the bottom of the boat, it was definitely a Gulf Crocodile. The frightening thing about these demonic beasts was that they were able to swim around in the swamp without sinking.
If the bottom of the ship was broken from below, then the human warriors would basically be torn apart alive. Therefore, the most important thing to do when sailing in the swamp was to protect the wooden boat.
Just when Sun Wen and Sun Xing were ready, they felt the wooden boat suddenly fly up. One had to know that this was a no-fly zone, and any martial arts that could fly in the air were useless here. Only the native birds of the valley could fly here.
Could it be that the wooden boat was knocked away by the Gulf Crocodile? But they didn't feel any vibration from the bottom of the boat. While the two siblings were still in a daze, Du Feng had already attacked the bottom of the boat. This time, he also used a whip, and it was a bone whip made from the spine of a dragon.
"Pa!"
This whip was very powerful, and a huge Gulf Crocodile spun three times on the spot before falling down. The reason why the wooden boat could fly was because of a special device that Du Feng had installed. Eight long oars pushed from both sides, causing the wooden boat to jump. Since it could jump, there would be a time when it would fall. But after falling, the propeller quickly spun, pushing the boat forward for some distance.
