"There are some scattered corpses here, that's strange," said Hong Niao, who was more observant when she saw the corpses.
"That's normal. They will fight among themselves for territory and mates. Let's go, we're one step closer to the treasure. Hahaha, once we take down that Flowing Marsh, we'll all be rich!" Huang Zhuosi, who was relatively thick-skinned, burst out laughing.
Everyone's expression turned strange when they heard his words. They subconsciously glanced at the woman called Li Man.
"Idiot, you've already told her that we're looking for an Earth Element Soul Seed. This Flowing Mud is a high-quality Earth Element Soul Seed. It's worth at least thirty million on the market. If you ruin our plan, I'm going to skin you alive! "Captain Liang Dachui glared at Huang Zhuosi.
Huang Zhuosi smiled awkwardly. He purposely glanced at Li Man and realized that the woman was only glancing at them briefly, as if she was not interested in the Flowing Mud.
The group entered the valley and glanced toward the west. It was a spectacular sight. The setting sun was golden, and the wriggling creatures on the ground had formed a golden carpet covering half of the valley. Not only that, half of the mountain in the west was covered in the golden carpet. It really looked like gold from afar!
"Holy crap, how many Giant Lizards are there!?" Hong Niao exclaimed. She did not think it was a spectacular sight. Instead, she felt her scalp turning numb.
If they were trapped in the valley, they would be like lambs entering a pack of wolves. They had no chance of surviving.
"Captain, are you sure we should go in?" Huang Zhuosi was a little hesitant when he saw so many Giant Lizards.
The treasure might be important, but it was meaningless if their lives were at stake.
"I … I think it's too risky," said the others.
"Since we're already here, don't worry, since Hong Niao has a plan, it won't be a problem," Liang Dachui let out a relieved sigh. Despite his words, his expression did not relax at all.
Luckily, the valley was spacious enough, with plenty of places to hide. Otherwise, even a few lives would not be enough for them to survive in the demon creatures' valley.
…
Li Man parted ways with the Hunter Magicians after entering the valley.
She was also interested, but as a commander, she couldn't possibly steal the Earth Elemental Spirit Seed that someone else had collected, made plans, and risked her life to obtain.
Li Man followed the trail of the special corpses. When the Hunter Magicians saw that she was not going in the same direction as the thing they were looking for, they let her be.
Compared to women, they cared more about treasures. If they had treasures and sold them for money, what woman couldn't they find?
However, not long after this group of people entered the valley, an agile person followed closely behind and also entered the special Xizhao Valley.
He glanced at the Hunter Magician and the Magician who were walking in different directions, and checked the corpses again. In the end, he decided to follow the Magician …
This person was none other than Zhang Xiaohou, who had left the military and entered the plains of Dongting Lake alone.
As a matter of fact, he had been following Da Hammer's team all the way here from Biyi City. The experienced Magicians had never noticed his presence.
In the military, Zhang Xiaohou had mainly learned how to tail and carry out secret missions. He was considered a special agent among the Battlemages, mainly because of the two Elements he practiced.
"Brother Fan, I'll be able to find you soon!" Zhang Xiaohou's confidence was greatly boosted when he saw the corpses scattered across the ground.
…
…
Li Man continued to search along the corpses. She believed she was getting closer to the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake.
The Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake was a term that had been spread around the Hunter Union recently. Many areas around Dongting Lake had been experiencing strange deaths of Giant Lizards. When people discovered that the deaths of the Giant Lizards were the same, they named the culprit as the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake.
Li Man was one of the military personnel that had come to investigate the matter. Dongting Lake had always been a sensitive and restless area. She would not let any details slip by. She was worried that a new Commander-level creature, or something even stronger, would appear. It would be a great blow to Biyi City!
"Strange, my legs feel a little heavy. Even though I haven't been out for a while, my stamina shouldn't be dropping so quickly." Li Man walked past a swamp and had no choice but to find a dry spot to rest.
She hurriedly took off her boots and checked the condition of her legs.
"Damn it, how could I be so careless!" Li Man finally realized the reason. She had no idea when her legs had been poisoned by the swamp. Her fair feet had turned purple.
Li Man had been transferred to Dongting Lake not long ago. She wasn't familiar with the environment here and wasn't prepared for the poisonous creatures here.
"That's not right, I've been following the advice of my old teammates. I've done everything I can to protect myself from the poison, and with my cultivation, it's impossible for me to be poisoned so easily. Could it be a new kind of poison … what the hell is it that's so poisonous!?" Li Man sat on a rock and started to worry.
She had brought all kinds of antidotes and tried them all, yet she was shocked to discover that they were unable to suppress the poison from the swamp, which was slowly climbing up her feet!
The swamp was a combination of the Water Element and the Earth Element. She had tried both the Water Antidote and the Earth Antidote, yet none of them worked.
She was in serious trouble!
Li Man was not afraid of demon creatures. She would kill as many as they showed up.
However, poison was definitely the most disgusting thing in the world. She didn't know much about poisons. This time, she came alone and didn't make perfect preparations. Encountering this kind of stubborn poison made her feel helpless.
"The Hunter Magicians and the others have already left … should I send a signal to ask for help? The army might send someone here, but … if they knew I was poisoned halfway and had to return to the army with my tail between my legs, they would surely laugh their heads off. Those old bastards don't like me messing with their business in the Biyi Division! "Li Man clenched her teeth and gave up on asking for help in the end.
She continued to try all kinds of ways to cure the poison, but the strength of the poison far exceeded her expectations.
When the purple poison slowly climbed up to her knees, Li Man began to regret her stupid decision.
The poison was extremely unusual!
When the sky turned dark, Li Man felt extremely dizzy. It was difficult for her to even send a signal.
A signal needed to be set up. Normally, a signal would be used to signal the demon creatures. Li Man felt dizzy and panted heavily as she leaned against a cold rock.
The poison continued to climb up her body, yet Li Man could not muster any energy. She could vaguely hear the cries of the Giant Lizards nearby. Her eyelids were about to fall asleep.
She was unsure if the place was well-hidden enough, but all she could do now was pray that the Giant Lizards would not find her, otherwise …
"Zi zi zi ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!"
As Li Man was about to fall asleep, she could vaguely feel a strong electric current flickering in front of her. It accurately penetrated a Giant Lizard that was crawling toward her, killing it on the spot.
Li Man's heart skipped a beat.
How unlucky was she? Not only did she stumble into a strange poison that even an Advanced Magician like her could not resist, the Grim Reaper of Dongting Lake had shown up before she lost consciousness!
