Chapter 1511 - 1444: Swamp!

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building finally let out the breath she'd been holding, then glared at Qin Feiyang and said, "Don't ever do something that crazy again. My heart can't take it."

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.

Would he really let Wang Dacheng self-detonate?

Of course not.

If Li Jian and the other truly couldn't stop it, he would erase Wang Dacheng's soul without the slightest hesitation.

So the problem the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building was worried about simply didn't exist.

Li Jian and the other also let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Qin Feiyang and asked nervously, "Young Master, does this prove our loyalty?"

Qin Feiyang said mildly, "Behave yourselves and you won't lack benefits in the future."

"Yes."

The two were overjoyed.

Although Qin Feiyang hadn't answered directly, the implication was already obvious.

"Right."

"You should have quite a few Bloodfiend Pills in your Qiankun Bags too, right?"

Qin Feiyang looked at the two as he spoke.

Their hearts tightened.

Qin Feiyang said, "In my life, what I hate most are Bloodfiend Pills."

As soon as they heard that, they hurriedly took out their Qiankun Bags, dumped out all the Bloodfiend Pills inside, and then, without another word, crushed them all to powder.

"Please check, Young Master."

Then—

They offered their Qiankun Bags to Qin Feiyang.

"No need."

"But if I find out that you secretly refine or refine Bloodfiend Pills behind my back in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Qin Feiyang said.

"We wouldn't dare."

The two quickly shook their heads.

Qin Feiyang glanced at them, then shifted his gaze to the mountain range ahead.

Li Jian and the other couldn't help wiping cold sweat, then put away their Qiankun Bags and stood respectfully behind Qin Feiyang.

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building asked, "What Divine Art was that just now?"

Qin Feiyang laughed and said, "Black Dragon True Scripture, four forms in total. I checked it out; it's somewhat similar to Zhuge Xingfeng's Blood Dragon Art, very suitable for Fatty."

"So you're planning to save it for Fatty?"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building said.

"Of course."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"That Fatty must have ancestors who did good deeds, to end up meeting you."

"Otherwise, with his talent, he'd probably still be at the very bottom of Yan Province, running around just to survive."

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building laughed.

"You can't put it like that."

"I may have made him what he is, but over the years he's helped me a lot too."

Qin Feiyang said.

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building gave Qin Feiyang a long, deep look and said nothing more.

Thump!!

The two beasts, the Ant Emperor and the Spider Emperor, moved rapidly across the land like two towering mountains.

Gradually!

A long stretch of mountain ridge appeared within Qin Feiyang's line of sight.

The ridge soared into the clouds, like a gigantic python lying across the land ahead, radiating an imposing aura.

"That's the end of the mountain range."

"Cross the ridge, then pass through a swamp, and you'll reach the source of water."

The Spider Emperor said.

"A swamp?"

Qin Feiyang was taken aback.

The Spider Emperor said in a deep voice, "That swamp isn't an ordinary place. There's a horde of vicious crocodiles lurking inside, no less than a million in number."

"What?"

"That many!"

Li Jian and the other were dumbstruck.

Qin Feiyang was also quite surprised and asked, "Those vicious crocodiles in the swamp—are they connected to the one guarding the water source?"

"They're its subjects."

The Spider Emperor said.

"So that's how it is."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Wait."

"Since there's a swamp, there must be water."

"If there's water, it shouldn't be this hot, right?"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead as she spoke.

She really had enough of the temperature here and desperately wanted to find a cool place.

"The temperature there is indeed lower than here, but unfortunately, we can't linger in the swamp."

The Spider Emperor said.

"Why?"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building raised an eyebrow.

"Because the swamp is permeated with a toxic miasma."

"This miasma can confuse a person's mind, cause hallucinations, and so on."

"If you don't pass through quickly, there's a high chance you'll die in the swamp."

The Spider Emperor said, its pupils full of dread.

Even it was so wary of the place; that alone was enough to show that the true situation inside the swamp was probably worse than it described.

Qin Feiyang's eyes flashed. He looked at the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building and laughed, "How about I send you to the ancient castle? It's nice and cool inside. I'll call you out when you're needed?"

"Is that allowed?"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building froze, staring at Qin Feiyang in surprise.

In fact, she'd thought of this long ago, but she couldn't swallow her pride, and she was afraid Qin Feiyang would refuse or call her pampered, so she'd never asked.

"Of course…"

Qin Feiyang chuckled, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Bastard, you're messing with me?"

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building's face instantly darkened with anger.

"You're just slow."

"And you don't believe me when I say there's no one in the castle right now. How could I possibly feel at ease letting you in?"

Qin Feiyang curled his lips.

Although that mother and daughter were being very friendly to him now, there were times when he simply had to stay on guard.

This was an instinct honed over many years of life-and-death trials.

To put it simply—

Until the mysterious lady and the young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building revealed their true identities, he would never completely trust them.

The young lady of the Dragon Phoenix Building glared at Qin Feiyang, cheeks puffed in anger, and cursed fiercely, "You little bastard, just you wait."

"Fine, I'll wait."

Qin Feiyang looked utterly unconcerned, which only made her even angrier.

Thump!!

As they talked—

The Ant Emperor had already carried them to the foot of the ridge.

Without stopping—

The two beasts climbed straight up the ridge and stood at the cliff edge, looking out ahead.

Sure enough.

On the other side of the ridge lay a boundless swamp.

In the swamp, aside from foul-smelling mud, there wasn't a single flower, blade of grass, or tree. It looked incomparably desolate.

Standing on the ridge, Qin Feiyang and the others could already smell the toxic miasma that caused hallucinations.

"With a swamp that big, how do we cross?"

Li Jian asked, deeply worried.

If they could fly, crossing the swamp would naturally be easy for people of their cultivation.

But the problem now was that the Rule Power of this Divine Sign made it impossible for them to fly.

Unable to fly meant they had to go on foot.

Yet looking out now, within the range of their vision, there wasn't a single patch of solid ground.

Without solid ground, how were they supposed to set foot?

"There is a path you can take, but you must follow closely behind me, and don't get entangled with the vicious crocodiles in the swamp."

"With our strength, the slightest carelessness could destroy that path."

"In short, avoid battle as much as possible."

The Spider Emperor swept its gaze over the swamp, speaking in a grave tone.

Zhou Zheng asked, "Is there really no other route?"

"There is."

"Skirt around the swamp."

"But if we go around, it'll take at least a month to reach the location of the water source."

The Spider Emperor said.

"And how long to cross straight through?"

Qin Feiyang asked.

"If we don't get delayed along the way, at most two days."

The Spider Emperor thought for a moment and said.

"A month, two days…"

Qin Feiyang shook his head with a wry smile. The difference was enormous. He then took a deep breath and said, "Then lead the way!"
