Oh my god, what I was afraid of really came true. Du Feng looked at Tang Jiaojiao, then looked at the two people following her, and understood everything. These two were both at the peak of the fifth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm in Cultivation, so they had probably prepared for this mission.
Cang Jingsong was too bad, he had stuffed himself in at the last minute. Since he had already prepared for this mission, why didn't he find three people at the peak of the fifth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm in Cultivation? If he prepared for a few more years, he would be able to increase his level of Cultivation after entering the Sky Lake Ruins.
Du Feng's guess was right. In fact, the Armed Police Pavilion's Pavilion Master had already prepared three outstanding students. Making them suppress their Cultivation at the strange peak of the fifth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm and not allow them to break through to the sixth level was for this mission. However, there was one person who liked to look for excitement. If he wasn't careful, he would lose his life.
One of the three bodyguards that Tang Jiaojiao had nurtured for many years was gone just like that. It wouldn't be that easy to groom another one. After all, students with outstanding aptitude would all improve very quickly in Cultivation, and most of them would surpass the fifth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. Coincidentally, Du Feng arrived rather late, and as a rising star, he quickly made it into the top 500 of the Earth Board. Cang Jingsong recommended him to the Pavilion Elder, and it was settled just like that.
From Tang Jiaojiao's disdainful gaze, Du Feng could already tell that he was an unnecessary person. After the other two bodyguards entered the Sky Lake Ruins. They could at least break through to the sixth or seventh level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. As long as they had enough time, they might even be able to break through to an even higher level.
He was a newbie who had forcefully stuffed in, and had only just reached the fourth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm in Cultivation, so he did not have any reserves. Even after the Sky Lake Ruins mission was over, he might not be able to break through to the fifth level of the Heaven Seizing Realm. Thus, from Tang Jiaojiao's point of view, Du Feng was Cang Jingsong's connection, and was stuffed into the team to earn points.
Du Feng still needed to stay with the team. If he could come back alive, he would be able to get at least five thousand points. If he was lucky and killed a few weaker demon beasts, he might even be able to get more points. Tang Jiaojiao looked down on these kind of slackers from the bottom of her heart. If it wasn't for Du Feng's good looks and Cang Jingsong's reputation, he would have been chased out of the team.
If it was someone else going to a place like the Tianhu Ancient Ruins, they would probably have to travel for a long time. Back when Du Feng went to the Three Mountains Mystic Realm, he had spent several months on the boat. However, this was the Seven Basaltic Mansions, and there were teleportation arrays that led to all parts of the world.
The four of them stepped onto the transmission array together. The two bodyguards stood intimately on both sides of Tang Jiaojiao. Only Du Feng kept a little distance from them. With a bright flash, the four of them entered the space-time tunnel at the same time.
The space-time tunnel of the Seven Basaltic Mansions was not accessible to outsiders, so there was no need to worry about encountering the hijackers. Sure enough, after a long period of dizziness, the four of them arrived at a place at the same time. Du Feng observed for a while and found that they were standing on a stone altar. In the center of the stone altar was the transmission array that had existed for a long time. Just like before, the transmission array was also one-way. It could only be transmitted from the Seven Basaltic Mansions, but it could not be transmitted back.
Du Feng frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong. The aura here was special, unlike any place in the Four Great Continents. There was no relevant map information, and there was no reverse transmission array. Even if the mission was completed, how would they go back? Could it be like the Devil's Den, where there would be realm gates that led to all corners of the world?
Tang Jiaojiao looked at Du Feng proudly, as if she had expected his reaction. The other two bodyguards, on the other hand, looked calm and collected. Du Feng instantly understood that they definitely knew how to go back. Perhaps Tang Jiaojiao had something similar to the transmission scroll in her hands, but she deliberately did not tell him.
"You, lead the way."
As expected, as soon as they arrived near the destination, Tang Jiaojiao began to instruct Du Feng. The stone altar they were on was surrounded by swamps, and there was no way for them to step on. Asking Du Feng to lead the way was purely making things difficult for him.
"Okay, wait a moment."
Du Feng did not panic. He summoned a few specters and let them go in different directions. Specters did not have a physical body and were very light. Logically speaking, they would not sink into the mud. However, as soon as they left the range of the stone altar, they all sank.
'Huh?' Du Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately figured out a problem. This place was a no-fly zone. Not only could specters not pass, but human martial artists could not fly over either. If he had used the Soaring Technique just now, he would probably be in the quagmire now.
Tang Jiaojiao and the other two bodyguards obviously knew how terrifying this swamp was. They deliberately did not tell Du Feng because they wanted to see him make a fool of himself. Du Feng's impression of them suddenly fell to the freezing point when they played with human lives. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he took out a small bird from the small world in his necklace and let it fly first.
The principle of a small bird's flight was different from that of a human martial artist. It relied on the vibration of its own wings and had nothing to do with essence energy. Under normal circumstances, birds would not be affected in areas where human martial artists were forbidden to fly.
"Ji ji ji …"
Initially, when the small bird successfully flew out of the stone altar, Du Feng was rather happy. He thought that as long as birds could fly, the Pterosaur could carry him out of this godforsaken place. However, that small bird did not fly far before it began to struggle with all its might. It flapped its wings rapidly and did not last long before it plunged into the mud. It was as if someone was pulling it with a rope from below.
"Hiss …" Seeing this scene, Du Feng could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. It seemed like this swamp was harder to deal with than he had imagined. That Tang Jiaojiao looked like she had a card up her sleeve. There must be a way out.
"Trash, you can't even do such a simple thing, and you dare to follow me to earn points."
As expected, Tang Jiaojiao was purposely making things difficult for Du Feng. She was unhappy that Cang Jingsong had arranged for a newcomer to enter the team to earn points. She was thinking of how to make Du Feng make a mistake and die quickly. Her every move would be known by the pavilion master of the Martial Arts Pavilion. Therefore, killing Du Feng was not feasible. She could only wait for him to make a mistake.
Hearing Tang Jiaojiao's words, a hint of killing intent flashed across Du Feng's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He believed that it was impossible for his actions to be unmonitored. The pavilion master of the Martial Arts Pavilion must have a way to control the risk if he dared to let three men accompany Tang Jiaojiao to the wilderness.
