Chapter 1512 - 1445: Improving Favorability

The Spider Queen led everyone, walking along the ridge for about ten miles, standing at the edge of the cliff, scanning the swamp below with eyes full of caution.

The swamp was very calm, only in certain places, bubbles were rising.

It was also very quiet.

But the silence was unnerving.

Qin Feiyang and the others also lowered their heads, looking at the swamp below.

In the swamp, there was a narrow path two to three meters wide, like a sheep's intestine, winding and twisting toward the depths of the swamp.

The Spider Queen observed for a moment, seeing no unusual movement in the swamp, then turned to Qin Feiyang and the others, and said, "This is the path I mentioned."

As it spoke, its body quickly began to shrink.

Li Jian and Zhou Zheng looked at it suspiciously.

"The bigger the body, the bigger the target."

"In the past, every time the Ant Queen and I passed through here, we would shrink our bodies."

The Spider Queen explained.

"I see!"

Li Jian and Zhou Zheng nodded in realization, these fierce beasts are quite smart!

Actually.

Fierce beasts that have cultivated to the peak of the Nine-Star War Emperor are far from being fools.

Exaggeration aside.

Their minds are even shrewder than some humans.

The Ant Queen turned its head to look at Qin Feiyang, smiling obsequiously, "Uh, we'll have to trouble you to come down and walk yourself."

Qin Feiyang shook his head, smiling.

It seems this guy was indeed scared by the methods he displayed, otherwise, with its unruly personality, how could it be so polite?

Qin Feiyang leaped down, landing steadily on the ground.

The young lady of the Phoenix Tower, Li Jian, and Zhou Zheng also jumped down from the Ant Queen's back, landing beside Qin Feiyang.

The Ant Queen's massive body immediately began to shrink as well.

Finally.

Both the Ant Queen and the Spider Queen became thumb-sized.

If they concealed their aura and hid in the soil, they wouldn't be noticed without careful observation.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the swamp, pondered for a moment, and said, "The more people, the bigger the target."

Speaking of which.

He turned to the three from the Phoenix Tower and said, "You'll stay in the ancient castle for now."

"Trying to fool me again? I won't fall for it."

The young lady of the Phoenix Tower snorted coldly.

Qin Feiyang smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "This time, I'm serious, but let me say this first, don't mess around in the ancient castle, or I'll throw you directly into the swamp."

The young lady of the Phoenix Tower pursed her lips, showing disdain.

Li Jian and Zhou Zheng looked at the swamp, eyes full of apprehension.

Being able to go to the ancient castle is naturally best, at least it avoids external risks.

As for causing trouble.

Do they have the guts right now?

Qin Feiyang glanced at the young lady of the Phoenix Tower, secretly transmitted to Li Jian and Zhou Zheng, "In the ancient castle, you can telepathically communicate with me, keep an eye on her, if anything unusual occurs, inform me immediately."

"Understood."

The two replied in secret.

Qin Feiyang didn't hesitate further; with a wave of his hand, the three vanished instantly.

Witnessing this, both the Ant Queen and the Spider Queen's eyes were filled with surprise.

Ancient castle?

What exactly is this thing?

It seems quite extraordinary.

Qin Feiyang looked at the two beasts, smiling, "Come onto my shoulders!"

"Huh?"

The two beasts were slightly stunned, both doubting if their ears had deceived them?

"Hurry up, don't waste time."

Qin Feiyang urged.

"Is this okay?"

The Ant Queen asked.

"Why not?"

"I already said, I'm not the kind of person you imagine, no need to be so restrained in front of me."

"And now, since you've become so small, lying on my shoulder will give you a broader view."

Qin Feiyang said.

The two beasts exchanged a glance, somewhat incredulous, is there really such a benevolent human in this world?

In their understanding, humans are selfish creatures.

For fierce beasts like them, humans always maintain an arrogant stance.

Even for some humans, having a fierce beast lie on their shoulder is considered a humiliation.

But this man before them actually invited them?

Ferocious at times, but when kind, more amicable than anyone else.

What kind of human is this, so difficult to fathom?

Qin Feiyang said impatiently, "Hurry up, it's not like a bride going to the sedan chair for the first time, why dawdle?"

The two beasts were taken aback, then exchanged a look, finally letting go of their concerns, and leapt up, landing one on each of Qin Feiyang's shoulders.

Their fondness for Qin Feiyang skyrocketed instantly.

In truth, Qin Feiyang's actions were intended to raise his favorability in the minds of the two beasts.

Because he hoped to keep these two around him indefinitely.

You need to understand.

The two Beast Emperors each command legions of phantom blood ants and phantom demon spiders numbering no less than a million.

If they could truly submit, Qin Feiyang would effectively have a million-strong army of fierce beasts at his command.

What kind of scale is a million-strong fierce beast army?

It wouldn't be overstating to say it could sweep the first layer of the Divine Sign, at least it would deter those who harbor ill-intentions toward him.

"Phew!"

Looking at the narrow path in the swamp, Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, then leapt, diving downwards.

"Keep it quiet."

The Ant Queen hurriedly transmitted.

"Don't worry!"

Qin Feiyang replied secretly.

In mid-air, the wind howled past his ears.

As he was about to land, Qin Feiyang made a mid-air turn, landing steadily at the edge of the swamp, without making a single sound.

Immediately.

Qin Feiyang concealed his aura, entered the narrow path, and darted forward along it.

The two beasts also concealed their auras to the extreme.

Eyes watching all around, ears listening in all directions.

And shortly after Qin Feiyang left, at a certain place on the edge of the swamp, a large head emerged from the mud.

It was the head of a fierce crocodile, as big as a dustpan, with its mouth slightly open, revealing sharp fangs.

It watched Qin Feiyang's silhouette, its bell-like fierce eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty glint.

Afterward.

It silently dived back into the mud, disappearing from view.

The temperature inside the swamp was indeed lower than outside.

However!

It was also more stuffy here than outside.

Outside was just hot, while here it was hot and stuffy.

Miasma, humidity, poison gas, filled every corner.

Confronted with such a harsh environment, even Qin Feiyang's temperament couldn't help but feel gradually agitated.

The clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat.

His long hair was also drenched.

However, though this place was like a dragon's den and tiger's lair, it was surprisingly uneventful along the way.

Time slipped away.

Nine rounds of Furious Sun set westward, and nightfall came!

Without the sun's burning, the night in the Divine Sign was considerably cooler.

But!

Just as night fell, the originally calm swamp gradually became lively.

Roar!!!

Beastly roars sounded continuously from all directions, deafening to the ears.

The Ant Queen said gravely, "Though it's stuffy here during the day, the day is the safest."

"Indeed!"

"As soon as it gets dark, the fierce crocodiles here come out to move around, and at any moment, we could be ambushed by them, be cautious."

The Spider Queen cautioned.

Compared to the day, their expressions were several times more grave.
