"I'm sorry, give me a moment."
After controlling his emotions, Du Feng regained his calm demeanor. He took out something from the pocket dimension. It was a thick piece of wood. This was no ordinary wood. It was the Eagle Wood that grew on the island in the middle of the lake.
Back then, there had been a huge explosion in the middle of the lake in the pocket dimension, and an eagle shaped island had appeared out of thin air. The trees that grew on the island had crowns in the shape of eagles. Hence, Du Feng called this wood Eagle Wood. The most special characteristic of Eagle Wood was that it could float in the First Yuan Heavy Water.
The swamp was indeed very special, but it could not swallow something as advanced as Eagle Wood. Du Feng's craftsmanship was very good. He quickly made a small wooden boat. He put the Eagle Wood boat into the swamp, and it floated effortlessly. It stayed still for a while, and there were no signs of it sinking.
"Alright, let's go."
Du Feng smiled and invited everyone to board the boat. He had specially designed the boat to be three plus one. The three passengers would sit in the front, and he would stay behind to paddle. This way, he would not have to be too close to Tang Jiaojiao, and he could observe their movements at any time.
"Rascal, you're really something."
Actually, the one observing their movements was not the Armed Police Pavilion Master himself, but Cang Jingsong, who was in charge of this operation. He was a little unhappy with Tang Jiaojiao's behavior, but she was the granddaughter of the Cabinet Master, and he could not afford to offend her. After all, Du Feng was one of the bodyguards in charge of Tang Jiaojiao's safety. He did not expect her to make things so difficult for him.
When he saw that Du Feng had made a boat that could actually sail in the swamp, Cang Jingsong relaxed a little. If Du Feng died in the swamp before entering the Tianhu Ancient Site, then he would be greatly embarrassed as the person who had recommended him.
"Who wants to take your broken boat? Let's go."
The boat was already built. He thought that Tang Jiaojiao would board the boat and leave. However, she did not appreciate his kindness. She took out a unique wooden boat and placed it in the swamp. This boat was not made of Eagle Wood, but it had a special characteristic, which was that it would not sink in the swamp.
Tang Jiaojiao's boat was twice as big as Du Feng's boat, and it even had a roof like this. It was more exquisite. The front row was a resting area with a mahogany coffee table. There were three pairs of oars at the back, obviously meant for the three bodyguards. The three of them rowed the boat at the back while she drank tea and rested alone in front. She really knew how to enjoy herself.
After this unruly young lady boarded the boat, the two bodyguards hurriedly followed. They had no intention of inviting Du Feng to board at all. The two bodyguards paddled away from the stone altar. Du Feng shook his head. Then, he boarded his eaglewood boat and rowed to follow.
"This is too much!"
Cang Jingsong saw this and casually said that.
"What's too much?"
However, the Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion happened to come over and saw the image reflected in the crystal ball.
"Young people need to be patient and able to withstand hardships. Don't you think so?"
Alright, the Pavilion Master's words made Cang Jingsong speechless. From what he said, it seemed like it was just training for Du Feng, and it was for his own good. Who would believe such nonsense? If you want to train, why don't you train your own granddaughter? She even needed three bodyguards to protect her at Tianhu Ancient Ruins.
After all, she was the granddaughter of the Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion. Although Cang Jingsong wanted to stand up for Du Feng, he could not interfere in this matter. He could only nod and agree with what the Pavilion Master said.
The image reflected in the crystal ball came from one of Tang Jiaojiao's treasures. Therefore, the Pavilion Master and Cang Jingsong could only see the things around Tang Jiaojiao. The two bodyguards rowed the boat quickly on purpose and quickly distanced themselves from Du Feng's boat. Therefore, they could not see Du Feng from the crystal ball.
This brat, is he throwing a tantrum? Cang Jingsong was slightly worried that Du Feng would not go to Tianhu Ancient Ruins in a fit of pique. If that was the case, he would not be able to get the mission points and might even anger the Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion.
That was right. This was the distance. In fact, Du Feng deliberately rowed the boat slowly to test a controllable distance. He kept feeling that he was being watched by something. That feeling only disappeared when he was far enough away from Tang Jiaojiao.
"Hmph, still trying to slack off. Speed up and shake him off."
Tang Jiaojiao still wanted to find fault with him, but she saw that Du Feng was already very far away from her. She decided to let the two bodyguards row the boat faster to shake off Du Feng. She wanted to see how he was going to leave this place without a map.
"Alright!"
The two bodyguards were excited. They swung their arms and rowed with all their might. The boat suddenly sped up and moved forward.
"Child's play!"
Seeing that the bodyguards were speeding up, Du Feng also sped up. His arm strength was very strong, and it was not a burden for him to travel alone. He easily caught up with the boat in front of him. This guy was really mean. He deliberately rowed at a moderate speed. It was just enough to keep up with the boat in front, but not close to Tang Jiaojiao and the others. As long as she was within his sight, he did not want to be too close to this unruly young lady.
"Young Lady, I have an idea."
Liu Qing, one of the two bodyguards, suddenly spoke. He had a bad idea. He threw something into the swamp at the back to lure the hidden Mudhole Crocodiles out and cause some trouble for Du Feng. If he could not deal with the Mudhole Crocodiles and died, he could only be considered incompetent.
"Okay, okay. Throw it, throw it."
When Tang Jiaojiao heard this, she clapped happily. She had long wanted to see Du Feng make a fool of himself. Just now, she wanted to use the no-fly ability of the swamp to make things difficult for Du Feng, but she failed. Now she lured a few Mudhole Crocodiles out. Let's see how he would deal with them.
After getting the young lady's permission, Liu Qing quietly threw a few small balls from the stern. As soon as these small balls were thrown down, they were quickly swallowed up by the mud. After throwing them, he desperately rowed the boat and left the previous position.
"Boom …"
Du Feng had been paying attention to the surrounding environment, fearing that there would be any fierce monster beasts appearing. He did not see Liu Qing's small movements. He kept a distance from Tang Jiaojiao and the others, and it was originally peaceful. However, a big explosion suddenly occurred in front of him, almost blowing up his Eagle Wood boat.
