In the distance, there was an old tree standing alone in the middle of a small flat ground. A skinny young man was sitting on the trunk of the tree. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the scene that had just taken place in the middle of the swamp in disbelief.
Zhang Xiaohou's teeth began to chatter. He stared at the large piece of flat land for a long time and did not come back to his senses. He even glanced at the piece of land that was covered in weeds below him ….
After confirming that it would not rise all of a sudden, Zhang Xiaohou's sweat had dried up by then.
What the hell was this place!?
Zhang Xiaohou was utterly terrified. He initially planned to follow the corpses to look for clues, but considering that he was not strong enough to move around freely in the valley, he decided to follow the Magicians instead, keeping a certain distance from them.
To his surprise, they were all gone in just a few blinks of an eye!
They were supposed to be a group of elite Hunters made up of Intermediate Magicians, yet they were wiped out just like that!
Zhang Xiaohou, who had no idea if he should feel relieved or pessimistic, lost his sense of direction. The valley was scarier than he had imagined, and the enormous creature at the center of the swamp was clearly above the Warrior-level.
Should he leave the valley as soon as possible, or …
Damn it, how could he leave before finding the person he was looking for!?
At most, he would rather die than go to the center of the swamp. A creature with such a huge size would have a hard time moving around, thus it was unlikely that it would wander around aimlessly!
Clenching his teeth, Zhang Xiaohou immediately left the place. The further he was from the center of the swamp, the better!
"F * * k me, are you serious, the Giant Lizards are returning to their nests?" As Zhang Xiaohou was about to leave, he realized that the Giant Lizards that were initially gathered at the west side and the West Mountain had started to crawl back into the swamp.
It was as if these creatures were returning to their nests to sleep after enjoying their evening bath and night stroll. Zhang Xiaohou was having a hard time, as if he was not mistaken, he was currently close to their nests.
As a matter of fact, the center of the valley would be relatively empty for two to three hours, as most of the Giant Lizards would head to the west and the West Mountain in groups. The timing and scale of their appearance were similar to those aunties who were dancing in public squares, enjoying the quality of life.
The Big Hammer Hunter Group's plan was to take action within these two to three hours. Once the time was up, regardless of whether they obtained any treasures or not, they had to leave immediately and continue at the same time the next day.
Unfortunately, they would never have thought that there was such a monster hibernating in the middle of the swamp!
Zhang Xiaohou happened to stumble into the aunties … ugh, the Giant Lizards returning to their dens. He had no idea that the Giant Lizards had such a lifestyle. He thought they would stay in the west and on the mountain until dawn.
Seeing more and more Giant Lizards crawling toward him, Zhang Xiaohou could feel his scalp turning numb. He was trying his best to escape from this place.
…
…
To the south of the valley, the water of the swamp was poisonous. Not only would the poison spread after coming into contact with the water, it would also penetrate the skin of the creatures with the gas emitted by the swamp.
The creatures with the presence of the swamp were immune to the poison. On the other hand, once the creatures without the swamp stepped into the area, they would slowly sink into the swamp and turn into one of the countless skeletons at the bottom of the gray swamp.
"The poison hasn't subsided yet, why are you following us?" Mofan was speechless, staring at the stubborn woman.
"I'm fine, but that disgusting fruit you asked me to eat, is it able to resist the poison?" asked Li Man.
"Of course, otherwise I would have died long ago," replied Mofan.
"Then let's inform the Hunter Group as soon as possible, and find the Wind Magician," said Li Man.
"If they were to make a move tonight, they would most likely lose their lives. As for the sneaky guy with the Wind Element you mentioned, this valley is so big, to find him …" While Mo Fan was talking, he skillfully lowered his body and passed through a protruding wall in front of him. However, as soon as he obtained the view on the other side of the wall, he stopped talking.
Li Man followed behind him and lowered her head to pass through the protruding wall. She added to Mofan's words, "He should be nearby … ugh."
Mofan stood there with a blank expression. His gaze was fixed on the swamp in front of him, on the Giant Lizards crawling around, and on the skinny young man running in front of the Giant Lizards with his pants up.
The thin youth didn't seem to notice that there was a gap in the mountain wall that he could pass through. He had already run to the blind spot of the mountain wall. His small eyes glowed with determination, and his thin cheeks had a resolute look.
"Scum like you, Grandpa Hou will fight it out with you!" Zhang Xiaohou knew he had nowhere to run. He took a deep breath and prepared himself to fight the Giant Lizards that had chased after him for half of the valley until dawn.
There were quite a number of Giant Lizards, at least seventy to eighty of them at a glance. Their size was a lot bigger than ordinary Servant-class creatures, but their only weakness was their slow crawl speed. They were trying their best to catch up from a hundred meters away, gnashing their fangs as they waited to taste the seafood. To them, who lived in the swamp, humans on land were like seafood.
"Is he the guy you were talking about?" Mofan poked his head out from the protruding wall and saw a tanned face.
Li Man glanced at him and nodded, "I think so."
As a matter of fact, Li Man was still in a daze. She thought it would take some time to find the guy, but to her surprise, they had stumbled into him just as they were about to reach the west side of the valley. It was such a coincidence that it felt a little too easy.
"Hey, don't fight until dawn. There's a path here, hurry up!" Mofan waved at the kid from the protruding wall.
Zhang Xiaohou turned around and saw a savage and the mysterious woman who had left with the Hunter Magician.
"Oh, oh!" Zhang Xiaohou went into the protruding wall, still in a daze.
…
The Giant Lizards were unable to pass through the protruding wall, thus they had no chance of catching up to them.
The three continued to walk through the protruding wall. In the pitch-black darkness, Zhang Xiaohou was the first to speak, "Guys, thanks for saving my life."
"Don't mention it, we have something to discuss with you … by the way, friend, your voice sounds familiar." Mofan replied in the darkness.
"Strange, your voice sounds familiar to me too."
The two had walked out of the darkness while chatting. The moonlight shone on their faces as they exchanged glances with one another, trying to adapt to the dim moonlight.
A gust of cold wind silently drifted between them. Not far from them, a certain night crow in the forest let out a strange cry …
"Holy crap, a monkey?"
