"I know that your goal is to enter the Swamp to save someone. I can also tell you everything you want to know. Not only that, I can also lead the way for you. I can even take the initiative to distract the pursuers when you retreat!" The boy said.
"Then what is your goal?" Jiang Fei naturally knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
"What I need from you is also very simple. I just need you to save my little sister when you rescue someone," The boy said.
"It seems that you really love that girl," Jiang Fei sighed. If he really did as the boy said, he would definitely die after he distracted the pursuers. Moreover, he would not even be able to die with a full body after he committed the crime of betraying the race.
"My life was saved by you in the first place, so returning it to you can be considered as repaying your kindness. If I can save my little sister, even if I die, I will be able to see clearly." The boy said with a calm expression.
At this time, the boy was already indifferent to life and death. He was an orphan. His parents died when he was young, and no one in the Nine-headed Python Clan loved him. He finally found Xiang Ling, who was still young and innocent, and they even decided to marry each other. In the end, the elders wanted to marry the powerless Xiang Ling to an old monkey from the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain for some benefits.
Initially, the boy thought that he could escape with Xiang Ling. However, he did not expect that Xiang Ling would still be captured and he was almost killed by the great elder's grandson.
As a result, not only did the boy not feel any sense of belonging to the Nine-headed Python Clan, but his heart was also filled with hatred. To him, helping Jiang Fei was not a shameful act of betraying the race. Instead, this act of destroying the Nine-headed Python Clan gave him a sense of satisfaction that he had never felt before.
"Alright! I'll try my best to save the girl. " Jiang Fei nodded. The reason why he agreed to the boy's condition so quickly was that Jiang Fei wanted to know more about the Swamp. On the other hand, Jiang Fei did not lack sympathy for the young couple.
"I hope that you can keep your promise!" The boy nodded.
"By the way, what's your name?" Jiang Fei still did not know the boy's name. He only heard Xiang Ling calling the boy brother, but the young man only called him scum and trash. Therefore, he did not know the boy's name at all.
"It doesn't matter what I used to be called. I am now called Tu Mang!" The boy's eyes were filled with hatred as he spoke.
"Sigh!" Jiang Fei sighed. He did not know what the boy had been through, but the fact that he gave himself such a name meant that the Nine-headed Giant Serpent had broken his heart. Otherwise, he would not have called for the extinction of his own race.
Then, Tu Mang began to tell Jiang Fei about the situation of the Black Demon Swamp. Through Tu Mang's narration, Jiang Fei had a basic understanding of the situation.
It turned out that Mo Lishang, who had been living in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for a long time, suddenly returned to the Black Demon Pool a few days ago, and when she returned, she brought a few humans back with her. These humans were then imprisoned in a catacomb on the shore of the Black Demon Pool. The catacomb was not only surrounded by traps, but also guarded by a large number of experts. Trying to sneak in and rescue them was tantamount to climbing the sky on foot.
"So strict …" After Jiang Fei heard this, he could not help but take a deep breath.
"Not only that, the clan leader herself will also patrol the catacomb. Although it is not fixed, she will go there several times a day. This shows how important these humans are to her," Tu Mang added.
"Hiss … Mo Lishang is forcing me into a dead end!" Jiang Fei's heart sank. He did not expect Mo Lishang to be so vigilant.
"Then, do you have any ideas?" Jiang Fei asked.
"Yes!" Tu Mang said.
"Oh? Tell me! "Jiang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"There is a secret passage next to the catacomb where they are imprisoned. If we start digging from the right place, it should not be difficult to dig through the catacomb and rescue those people secretly!" Tu Mang said. In fact, the secret passage was dug by him and Xiang Ling when they were young.
As he was an orphan, Tu Mang was bullied by his peers when he was young. No one played with him, and they would even beat and scold him. In order to avoid these Commander-level fellows, the little Tu Mang secretly dug a hole and hid in it.
Later, after he met Xiang Ling, the hole became a place for them to play. In order to have more fun, Tu Mang went to expand the hole every night so that when Xiang Ling came to play the next day, it would be fun.
After a long time, the secret passage was also dug, and it became a place for Tu Mang and Xiang Ling to meet.
"There is such a secret passage?" Jiang Fei was overjoyed. If he could bypass the tight guards and traps on the ground, the success rate of his rescue would undoubtedly increase.
"Yes!" Tu Mang nodded.
After that, Jiang Fei received another important piece of information from Tu Mang. It was the hundred-day deadline given to Mo Lishang by the Naga race! Moreover, Mo Lishang seemed to treat Huo Qingcheng and the others well. He did not make things difficult for them, and because of his care, the guards of the Nine-headed Giant Python race did not make things difficult for Huo Qingcheng and the others.
After knowing this, Jiang Fei was slightly relieved. There were still more than eighty days before the hundred-day deadline. It could be said that there was still plenty of time.
"If that's the case, husband, don't rush to rescue them. Let's recover first!" Bella advised.
"Yes!" Jiang Fei nodded. Although he hoped to rescue Huo Qingcheng and the others as soon as possible, as the saying goes, sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. He was not in good condition at the moment. His Spiritual Power had not recovered, and he could not use the 10th Dimension. If there was an emergency, not only would he not be able to rescue Huo Qingcheng and the others, he might even die.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Jiang Fei decided not to rush to rescue them. He needed to recover first.
After making up his mind, Jiang Fei did not go out anymore. He meditated in the cave all day, quietly waiting for his Spiritual Power and the Core of Will to recover.
More than a month had passed. Jiang Fei's Spiritual Power had finally recovered, but the Core of Will had not been fully charged. Although he could already open the 10th Dimension, he still could not fully activate it.
At this moment, the person who was more anxious than Jiang Fei was Mo Lishang. The hundred-day deadline was almost over. If it was over, not only would he lose the chance to become a dragon, but the entire Nine-headed Giant Python race would also be abandoned by the Naga race. From then on, they would no longer be the retainers of the Naga race. This was a humiliation that Mo Lishang, as the clan leader, absolutely did not want to bear.
"What's wrong? Still no news of Jiang Fei's arrival? "Mo Lishang called over a clansman and asked.
"There's no news from the teleportation point, and no suspicious people have been found near the Black Swamp." The clansman's answer made Mo Lishang frown. Could it be that Jiang Fei did not dare to rescue them because he was afraid? Or that Bella had not found Jiang Fei and could not pass the news to him?
