LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 312: Ten Thousand Poison Swamp!
Chapter 312: Ten Thousand Poison Swamp!
"This little poison girl has grown so fast! If she is given a few more years, I fear no one in the entire Cloud Empire will be her match!"
On the city wall, Ma Dayuan and his men, who had been repelled by Xiao Yi Xian’s casual attack, were extremely astonished.
A little over a month ago, Xiao Yi Xian had not yet become a Dou King. When Ma Dayuan discovered her breakthrough to Dou King in the relic, he was only slightly surprised. However, he never expected that she could easily repel six veteran Dou King experts just after breaking through.
“You useless fools, you can’t even capture a little girl!”
Seeing Ma Dayuan and his men standing on the city wall without going in, Liu Rulong, who had arrived from a distance, angrily rebuked them.
Hearing Liu Rulong’s reprimand, Ma Dayuan and his men quickly turned their heads and saw Hua An in the distance, missing an arm. Their hearts became extremely conflicted.
“Unexpectedly, Old Monster Liu has become so strong that he defeated Old Demon Hua so quickly!”
Ma Dayuan was well aware that with Liu Rulong’s brutal nature, if Hua An was defeated, they would lose their value. At this moment, if they angered Liu Rulong, they could face deadly consequences.
“Sect Master!”
Not far away, Huang Dahai also noticed Hua An’s condition. He immediately lost interest in the current situation and flapped his wings to bypass Liu Rulong, heading towards Hua An.
Soon, under everyone’s gaze, Liu Rulong, dressed in a black robe, arrived on the city tower with a grim face.
“Where is the little poison girl?”
Liu Rulong's eyes swept over the group as he shouted harshly.
When Liu Rulong finished speaking, Ma Dayuan felt extremely nervous, but he forcibly kept silent.
“Old Liu, the little poison girl just used a large area of strong poisonous gray gas to block us. After the gas dissipated, we couldn’t see her anymore,” Wang Jing said tremblingly.
“Fools!” Seeing Wang Jing speaking first, Ma Dayuan sighed inwardly.
As expected, in the next moment, a withered hand grabbed Wang Jing’s neck, and a surge of powerful Dou Qi crushed Wang Jing’s throat, pushing his body off the high city tower.
“Useless trash, no need to keep you around!”
After killing Wang Jing, the anger on Liu Rulong’s face finally subsided a bit.
Seeing Liu Rulong kill Wang Jing without warning, the others were terrified, fearing they would be next.
“Old Liu, I believe the most important thing now is to find the treasures in the ancient city. We can deal with the little poison girl later!” Ma Dayuan suddenly said respectfully to Liu Rulong.
“Hmm, we should explore the city’s treasures first! You, come with me!” Hearing Ma Dayuan’s suggestion, Liu Rulong nodded, then waved his sleeve and flew into the air over the vast city.
This ancient city was enormous. If Liu Rulong and his men hadn’t previously scouted and confirmed there were no survivors, they wouldn’t dare to fly so recklessly over the city.
“In such a large ancient city, at least a million people must have lived here in ancient times. Where did they all go?”
As they flew, Liu Rulong and his men couldn’t help but wonder the same thing.
After flying for over half an hour, a row of white walls taller than the city walls appeared in Liu Rulong’s sight.
“Is this... the palace?”
Seeing the white high walls, Liu Rulong recalled the structure of the Cloud Empire’s capital, where the royal palace was at the center.
So far, Liu Rulong had been greatly disappointed by this ancient city in the relic.
Apart from some poisonous creatures in the primeval forest, he hadn’t seen any living things. Even the trees in the ancient city had withered long ago.
As for the treasures he hoped for, he hadn’t seen any sign of them.
The place seemed completely abandoned.
At this moment, seeing the white palace walls, Liu Rulong felt a glimmer of hope.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
In the next moment, Liu Rulong suddenly accelerated, leaving the others behind as he sped towards the tall white wall.
Although Ma Dayuan and the others knew that even if there were any treasures, they wouldn't get a share, they had no choice but to follow, having come this far.
"Let's go!"
Exchanging glances, Ma Dayuan, Hou Yunfeng, Han Jing, and the two elders of the Wan Du Sect quickly followed Liu Rulong.
As they accelerated towards the white wall, a white-clad figure suddenly appeared on the ancient city's street not far away.
Xiao Yi Xian knew that if she flew in the sky, she would definitely be chased again due to her speed. So, after entering the ancient city, she found a place to hide and waited for Ma Dayuan and his group to pass before quietly following them.
...
After flying over the white wall, what appeared before Liu Rulong was not the golden and splendid palace hall he had imagined but a massive green swamp. The swamp's area was at least ten times larger than Rumicheng.
Additionally, the swamp's terrain was over twenty meters lower than the ancient city. Grayish-white and emerald-green gases constantly seeped from the swamp, creating a dense fog above it.
Seeing such a peculiar sight, Liu Rulong instantly formed a Dou Qi barrier around himself, blocking any potentially poisonous gases.
Despite these precautions, Liu Rulong hesitated, not daring to venture into the swamp. He then turned his gaze to Ma Dayuan and the others, who were approaching.
"These useless people can still be of some use!" Liu Rulong thought to himself.
Noticing Liu Rulong's peculiar gaze, Ma Dayuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"This old monster is up to something again!" Ma Dayuan cursed inwardly.
Despite the foreboding feeling, he had no choice but to continue flying towards Liu Rulong's position.
"Old Liu!"
"Old Liu!"
Before long, Ma Dayuan and the others reached the top of the white wall and saw the strange scene in the swamp.
"You guys, go down and explore first!"
Liu Rulong didn't waste any words, directly stating his intention.
Hearing Liu Rulong's demand, they hesitated, but the memory of Wang Jing's death on the city tower forced them to reluctantly nod in agreement.
At this moment, Ma Dayuan deeply regretted bringing Liu Rulong to this relic.
"Let's go!"
Sighing heavily, the group enveloped themselves in Dou Qi and bravely flew towards the swamp below.
