Chapter 1343: Deadly Assault in the Primeval Jungle 8

As Li Mu’s brain started to spin in confusion, Bai Chenyao took the communication device from his hand and then threw it directly into the distant swamp.

"Sir?"

Bai Chenyao’s cold and severe gaze fell upon Li Mu, who wore a look of bewilderment.

"Trust no one but ourselves!"

Li Mu: "..."

So, Sir was just leading him to wander between the swamp and the previous point with the pythons and tigers to create an illusion for those who could detect their geographical location?

Deliberately?

Li Mu detected an unusual flavor in Sir’s words.

Such situations had never occurred on previous missions with Sir.

Sir’s current state and behavior clearly indicated suspicion and hostility towards someone above!

Li Mu’s heart skipped a beat, his expression becoming unusually serious.

"I will always trust Sir’s judgment!"

Bai Chenyao glanced indifferently at the resolute Li Mu but said nothing.

He took out a map from his backpack, seemingly unfazed by the extremely cold and damp forests filled with ice.

After determining the route, Bai Chenyao looked at Li Mu, his slender fingers pointing to a certain spot on the map.

"This way!"

Li Mu followed the direction of Sir’s fingers, his extremely serious face showing signs of cracking.

"Sir...that’s...another swamp!"

Bai Chenyao nodded, his voice exceptionally firm.

"Our geographical location was exposed earlier, and if someone wanted to use a strategy to divert attention, then according to the original plan, moving forward would be the best option."

"But Thunder Eagle is extremely cautious and suspicious, and someone up there surely has his allies or informants, even if there’s only a one in a thousand chance, Thunder Eagle would fully prepare for it!"

"Just like you said before, if we continue along the previous path towards Thunder Eagle’s lair, we’ll be exhausted and only prepared for death!"

Li Mu: "..."

But now, the route you’ve chosen is more terrifying than the previous pathless path.

There’s not only a swamp but also a miasma forest.

Bai Chenyao seemed to know what he was worried about, and after a brief contemplation, he quickly spoke: "The swamp needs our attention because of its extensive area, and only by passing through can we proceed. As for the miasma forest, the lower the temperature, the more the miasma solidifies, making it safer for us compared to summer!"

Li Mu: "..."

But just the swamp alone is enough to confront death.

However, since Sir has already made his decision, he naturally obeys unconditionally.

"Yes, Sir!"

Li Mu also understood that some might think the swamp would become extremely safe in such cold weather because the moisture would freeze into ice.

But like a frozen lake surface that appears safe and smooth, they cannot be sure which area has thin ice underneath, falling into such a frozen swamp is more dangerous than falling into a frozen lake.

Moreover, the edge of that swamp spans dozens of miles towards the sunny side; no matter how low the temperature is, it won’t be as cold and hard as the swamp areas untouched by sunlight.

Beyond the swamp is the ridge of the Qi Mountain that stretches thousands of miles; only by crossing the ridge and descending along the steep mountain wall can they reach Thunder Eagle’s lair.
