The hunter kept struggling, but he sank deeper and deeper.
A flying ability user approached and pulled his arm up, but he couldn't move. It was easy to sink into the black swamp, but it was like being stuck in superglue. There was nothing he could do!
Zhou Jianhong was shocked.
Looking again, the awakened one was screaming. His legs, arms, and cheeks were gradually turning black. The flying ability user didn't dare to continue to pull him. As soon as he let go, the hunter who fell into the black swamp quickly sank. He didn't even scream or struggle.
"It's poisonous. It's very poisonous and corrosive."
Zhou Jianhong also saw the black shadow that rushed out of the swamp.
It looked like a crocodile-like beast with black scales all over its body. Its open mouth was sharp and cold. It jumped into the swamp and merged into one, making it extremely difficult to detect.
There was more than one Blackmarsh Crocodile. As the first crocodile rushed out of the swamp, more and more black shadows appeared and rushed toward the hunter on the stone.
"What monster!"
"Didn't you say there was no danger?"
"Maybe we have too many people this time and alarmed the monsters living under the swamp!"
"Think of a way! The range of activity is too small. There's no way to deal with these crocodiles! "
An ice-type ability user roared and opened his arms. Cold air gushed out and instantly froze the surrounding swamp into an icy surface.
"Stand on the ice and we can fight."
The frozen ice didn't last for a few seconds before it was corroded and melted by the swamp. A Blackmarsh Crocodile rushed out and smashed the ice with its claws.
These Blackmarsh Crocodiles were very strong. Most of them were Sixth or Seventh Layer, and a few could reach Eighth or Ninth Layer.
If it was on flat land, the expedition was completely capable of dealing with it. But on the black swamp, the hunters were greatly restricted. On the contrary, the Blackmarsh Crocodiles were like fish in water, able to exert 200% of their combat power.
At this time.
The people at the front of the team had reached the other side of the black swamp.
And the end of the team happened to be in the middle of the black swamp, the most dangerous place.
The curly-browed captain ordered with a solemn expression, "Flying ability users, quickly go forward to support, and …" He ordered a dozen agile hunters with mid-range killing ability to enter the black swamp again to support.
The others could only wait on the other side of the river.
There weren't many rocks on the black swamp that could support too many people. If they rashly went forward to help, it would instead become a hindrance.
…
The human Awakened stepped on the rocks and quickly ran towards the other side of the Black Swamp.
Gu Le was a captain of the Ancestral Dragon Corps in Jingcheng. He had the ability to transform into a winged person. He had a pair of white wings on his back. With a flap of the wings, he could fly more than ten meters away.
In order to minimize the losses of the exploration team and to set an example, Gu Le took the lead. His flying daggers flew above the Black Swamp, and with the help of the dim light, they quickly swept downwards.
The hunters kept retreating under the pressure of the Blackmarsh Crocodile. The stones for the hunters to step on were getting thinner and thinner. If this continued, they would eventually fall into the swamp.
Gu Le's eyes narrowed as he pulled the bowstring of the battle bow in his hand. An arrow made of special metal flew out and penetrated the Blackmarsh Crocodile. The swamp soil splashed everywhere from the explosion. The hunter who was chased by the Blackmarsh Crocodile was stunned for a moment. He quickly twisted his body and jumped toward another foothold in a slight panic.
Bang!
At this time, the sonic boom of the arrow exploding in the air reached his ears.
"I can't get the arrow back." Gu Le felt a slight pain in his heart and quickly swept his eyes elsewhere.
At this time, the people who came to support were the top experts. However, not everyone with a flying ability was good at archery like him. It was difficult to effectively kill the Blackmarsh Crocodile. They could only fly at low altitude to interfere with the Blackmarsh Crocodile. They even had to be careful of the Crocodile leaping up and jumping into the swamp.
The support who couldn't fly was even less useful.
Gu Le was under great pressure.
He couldn't save everyone. He could only prioritize helping the hunters in the most dangerous situation.
At this time, his eyes fell on another place.
A hunter was targeted by three Blackmarsh Crocodiles. It was almost certain death.
Gu Le didn't dare to delay and immediately pulled the bowstring. When he was about to release his hand, he suddenly froze and widened his eyes.
A Blackmarsh Crocodile pounced on him. There was no other foothold around, but the man didn't panic. He didn't resist. Instead, he jumped high with his toes, avoiding the Blackmarsh Crocodile's bite by a hair's breadth. Seeing that he was about to land on the swamp soil, he suddenly kicked the Blackmarsh Crocodile's scales on the side. With the recoil, his body flew to the right and steadily stepped on the back of another Blackmarsh Crocodile.
He lowered his center of gravity and slashed the Blackmarsh Crocodile's head with his saber.
Swish!
The crocodile's hard scales were easily broken, leaving a long and narrow fatal wound. The next moment, the hunter with the saber stepped on the ground. His figure flew through the air, twisted, and slashed the lower abdomen of another Blackmarsh Crocodile that pounced on him.
Finally, he steadily landed on the stone where he stood at the beginning.
"Amazing. He actually used the Blackmarsh Crocodile as a stepping stone. Isn't he afraid of accidentally falling into the swamp?!"
Even as a bystander, Gu Le was shocked!
The hunter with the saber was obviously only at the Seventh Awakening Stage. On land, he could only fight evenly with the Blackmarsh Crocodile, let alone in the swamp.
However, the man's balance, grasp of the battle situation, and control of his own strength were too accurate!
A slight mistake and he would be buried in a foreign land.
Even if it was Gu Le himself, even if he had the strength of the Ninth Awakening Stage, he wouldn't be able to do this in another position!
"And that saber is too sharp. It cut through the Blackmarsh Crocodile's scales like cutting vegetables. Could it be a high-level rune saber brought out from some secret realm?"
Many thoughts emerged in Gu Le's mind.
The situation was urgent. He didn't think too much. Since the hunter in front of him didn't need his support, Gu Le immediately looked to another place.
Three hunters gathered together, but there were seven or eight Blackmarsh Crocodiles around them.
"Damn, it's easy to affect each other when they get together." Gu Le had seen two hunters jump toward a foothold the size of a book in the chaos.
As a result, both of them had sunk to the bottom of the Blackmarsh Swamp. Not even their bones were left.
"There are three people now, and there are seven or eight Blackmarsh Crocodiles around. I can only kill one in an instant. It's too late to support …"
Thinking so, Gu Le still pulled the bowstring. However, in the next moment, the bowstring that was fully pulled was retracted.
In his line of sight.
The situation of mutual interference didn't happen at all.
The three hunters cooperated with each other and killed three or four Blackmarsh Crocodiles in a few seconds.
"Stepping on the crocodile again."
"Do they have eyes on the back of their heads?"
"What kind of weapon is that? It's so sharp."
When the Blackmarsh Crocodile swam, most of its body was hidden under the swamp. Only a small part was exposed.
Using the Blackmarsh Crocodile as a foothold. It's not that no one thought of using it as a foothold. It's just too difficult. Only a few people could do it …
No, that's not right.
Gu Le was startled.
On the Blackmarsh, most of the hunters quickly rushed to the other side. Their pace was a bit messy. They didn't seem to have any method to deal with the Blackmarsh Crocodile's attack.
However, there were a few people whose feet stepped on the crooked and slippery footholds as if they were walking on flat ground.
It was as if they had experienced the same scene thousands of times. While they were fighting, they were still leisurely chatting, which made other hunters look at them.
A few minutes later.
As the last hunter stepped on the land on the other side, many people breathed a sigh of relief. Especially the hunters who had escaped from the Blackmarsh Swamp.
"Six Awakened ones have died this time. The other three have suffered minor injuries …" Chen Xiaolian's eyes widened.
The captain said.
Originally, it was normal for dozens of hunters to die in the Blackmarsh Incident.
The others also knew that the reason why the number of casualties was much lower was due to the extraordinary performance of the Awakened ones … or rather, it should be said that the Awakened ones' strength far exceeded their expectations.
Those people belonged to different forces, but they all seemed to come from the same large shelter.
Lindong.
There were also several cities around Lindong, Hengcheng, Shuohu, and other places. The hunters' performance was also beyond imagination.
Hunters from all over Tiannan, including the Jingcheng hunters who had a sense of superiority, couldn't help but look up to several shelters in Lindong. But like Kun City, the hunters' performance was extremely poor. The people who just died were Kun City hunters.
The Kun City captain's face darkened.
… …
After crossing the Blackmarsh Swamp, the expedition passed through Gravel Forest, bypassed Mirror Lake, and climbed over Elephant Trunk Mountain.
They encountered a lot of dangers along the way, but they were overcome by the expedition one by one. Several hunters died on the way. However, compared to Jingcheng's previous expedition, which suffered heavy casualties, this time, it was undoubtedly much better.
They were getting closer and closer to their destination.
… …
The expedition group walked in a dense forest. Unlike ordinary forests, the leaves here were light blue and glowed with fluorescence.
"Did you hear something?"
A man from Kun City with tattoos on his arm looked around in surprise. Suddenly, he saw a few translucent shadows behind the ancient tree entwined with roots.
"What's that?"
"It's just a few spirits. I didn't expect the people of Kun City to be so timid."
The Jingcheng hunter shook his head and sneered.
The flowery man glared angrily at him, then turned to look at the shadows that were floating over.
"Timid? Hmph, this kind of spirit, I can beat ten of them! "
The flower-armed man was surprised by the strange sound. However, at this time, the spirit had appeared. In his perception, the aura of a mere Sixth Awakening was nothing to him.
Holding a machete, the flower-armed man rushed forward in a few steps. His whole body was ignited with flames. From a distance, he looked like a flaming man.
The machete wrapped in flames slashed toward the spirit monster.
Whoosh ~
As the machete slashed, the illusory figure of the spirit distorted and became a lot thinner. However, this powerful attack didn't directly kill the spirit.
The flower-armed man didn't believe it. He slashed the machete fiercely. He slashed six times in a second, each slash with his own flame transformation ability …
The surrounding spirit shadows distorted and faded, but they didn't stop floating and continued to move forward.
The flower-armed man waved his machete a dozen times. Seeing that the spirit was about to be eliminated, the other members of the expedition found that the flower-armed man's machete became disorderly. Even the flame attached to the machete was burning and extinguishing.
"Be careful!"
The Kun City captain was the first to rush forward.
The flower-armed man suddenly shouted, "Don't … kill … uh … ah …"
His movements suddenly froze, and the next moment, he fell to the ground facing forward.
The Kun City captain killed a few weak spirits, squatted down and pulled the flower-armed man over to have a look, "Dead."
The flower-armed man's face was pale, and he was no longer breathing.
"How did he die so suddenly?"
The Jingcheng hunters didn't sneer. Instead, they were puzzled.
No matter how weak the people in the Kun City shelter were, they shouldn't be killed by a few Sixth Awakening Stage spirit bodies, right?
After looking at the corpse, the captain raised his head and looked around, "We're surrounded. These spirits have high elemental resistance, and they should have spiritual attack abilities. Be careful."
The spirit bodies emerged from behind the ancient tree. At a glance, there were thousands of them. It was so dense that it made people's scalp tingle.
It was like entering a ghost's nest.
The captain sat in the center and calmly commanded, "Those with special abilities that can harm the spirit bodies stand on the periphery. The others stand in the inner circle. Once you find someone abnormal, take him out of the battlefield in time."
The battle broke out in an instant.
… …
Zhou Jianhong exchanged glances with the other Awakened ones he was familiar with. "Are we going?"
"Go!"
Chen Feng chuckled. "Although my ability is not suitable for dealing with spirit bodies, special abilities are not the only method we have."
Zhou Jianhong dashed to a spirit body in a few steps. His Qi and blood circulated like a rolling furnace.
He unsheathed his saber. A thick bloody light wrapped around the blade, carrying a strong bloody aura. The saber slashed down.
Combat Skill – Blood Slash.
A strike condensed with the power of Qi and blood was not only enough to hurt a special creature like the spirit body, but the bloody aura carried by the Blood Slash was even more fatal!
Bang!
The spirit body exploded and disappeared without a trace.
Not far away, Gu Le was shocked.
Facing a spirit body, he had no way to deal with it. Attaching his Genesis Qi to the arrow could only cause minor damage.
But now, an Awakened, who was not even an ability user, relied on the power of blood and Qi, which was inferior to Genesis Qi, to kill a Tier 6 spirit body monster in an instant?
Where did that strong bloody aura come from?
Could it be some kind of adventure?
… …
Blood Slash!
Bang!
Blood Slash!
Bang!
Blood Slash!
… …
The corner of Gu Le's mouth twitched. Wasn't this a adventure? How could each of them attack with a strong bloody aura?
He noticed that …
Most of the hunters whose weapons were wrapped in bloody light were the ones who had performed beyond imagination in the Black Swamp.
It seemed …
They were all from the Lindong area?
What was there? Could it be a wholesale adventure?
Gu Le couldn't help but think. But soon, he wasn't optimistic.
Although the strength of the Lindong hunters was beyond imagination, their bloody attacks also consumed a lot of energy. More importantly, many people in the exploration group couldn't hurt the spirit bodies, and there were too many spirits in the forest.
As the spirit bodies approached.
Several hunters in the front row fell to the ground with a thud.
The captain with raised eyebrows who was sitting in the middle showed some anxiety on his calm face, thinking of a way to break the situation.
At this time …
In the front row of the exploration group, Lin Qingtian, the leader of the Battle League, had given up his shield. He waved a warhammer in his hand. Lightning flashed on it, and each strike could kill a spirit body monster.
The Battle League leader took two deep breaths. Suddenly, his figure swayed, but he quickly stood firm. He saw many people around him fell down. Even Zhou Jianhong and the others were pale.
He took a deep breath.
"Cover me, I'll use my ultimate skill."
After saying that, the Battle League leader clenched the warhammer with both hands and raised it high.
Zhou Jianhong, Chen Feng, and the other hunters thought of something and rushed to Lin Qingtian's side.
A few seconds later.
On the silver warhammer in Lin Qingtian's hand, a blazing white beam of light soared into the sky.
