Chapter 1271 - Chapter 1271 Chapter 1135 Swamp Mysterious Realm Swamp Fish

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1135: Swamp Mysterious Realm, Swamp Fish Demon! Chapter 1271: Chapter 1135: Swamp Mysterious Realm, Swamp Fish Demon! After the Prairie Empire, there was a vast expanse of withered yellow and gray swamp.

Jia Heng said that the Mystic Spirit frequented the area where this part of the swamp bordered the ice plains to the south. Despite that, the region was exceptionally vast, and locating the Mystic Spirit would not be an easy task.

Once they knew the approximate location, Jia Heng and Li Qin became of no use to Chu Mu and the others, so the five decisively left them behind and headed to the southern edge of the swamp on their own.

“Those two are quite full of themselves,” Ye Wansheng muttered. “But once Chu Mu summoned the Dream of Oblivion, they quickly changed their attitude.”

“Let’s ignore them for now,” Chu Mu said. “and train here in the swamp first. We’ll look for the Mystic Spirit later.”

The primary purpose of everyone coming to this vast expanse of the Mysterious Realm was to train. The swamp seemed dead, without a trace of life, but hidden dangers lurked everywhere. One careless step could drag them into the vast, muddy depths, where they might suffocate and perish.

The withered trees gloomily dotted the firmer ground of the swamp. Looking at the vast desolation all around, both women felt extremely uncomfortable, especially since the mud often emitted foul odors.

“Whoosh whoosh!!!”

Suddenly, a tendril in the mud shot out at a lightning-fast speed, sweeping past Qingzi Ye, quickly wrapping around her waist, and then abruptly tensing!

The others were stunned, completely unprepared for the astonishing speed of the tendril.

Standing beside Qingzi Ye, Chu Mu reacted swiftly. Just as the tendril started pulling her away, he grabbed it with his hand.

Silver flames ignited, spreading rapidly along the tendril, quickly spreading to the swampy pond nearby.

After being scorched, the tendril quickly released Qingzi and retracted at a high speed.

In an instant, the entire swamp returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

Qingzi, still deeply shaken, looked at Chu Mu. Chu Mu noticed some toxin had stained Qingzi’s waist and promptly warned her.

Qingzi took out an antidote from her Space Ring and asked Chu Mu to help her apply it. Surprisingly, though Qingzi’s antidote typically worked upon application, the toxin left by the tendril took quite a while to neutralize.

“That thing must be high-level,” Chu Mu remarked. “We should be careful.”

The silver flames that Chu Mu had summoned on his hand were not a skill, but even for him at a Lower Master level, a mere flame could obliterate Emperor-level creatures, yet that thing still managed to escape.

They had just entered the swamp and had already encountered a high-level creature. Had it been an ordinary Soul Emperor team, they might have been wiped out right then.

The swamp was part of a great empire. Flying wasn’t practical here, so everyone could only continue moving forward along the muddy terrain.

Chu Mu had a map in his hand, which generally outlined how to navigate through the swamp safely.

Typically, the Mysterious Realm had no fixed paths since it was vast enough to be unimaginable and inherently maze-like in nature. Entering and finding one’s way out was fortunate enough.

The swamp’s terrain was particularly dangerous because every muddy swamp could potentially be a monster’s nest. Often, one might unknowingly step right into the center of a nest. Given that the firmer ground was extremely limited, not following the map meant facing great risks.

Several routes were marked on the map. Since their goal was to train, they weren’t going to choose a completely safe route.

The distribution of Soul Pet ranks in this vast Mysterious Realm was a bit peculiar. Often, powerful creatures could appear even around the outer periphery of the swamp, something that city master Li Ziran had continuously reminded Chu Mu and the others to be extremely careful about, no matter where they were.

Indeed, as they had just confirmed, the swamp was a perilous place. The attack by the tendril earlier could have been disastrous for anyone else, as reacting in time would have been incredibly difficult. If someone were dragged into the mud, rescuing them would have been even more challenging, for the seemingly thin mud could potentially be deeper than the ocean, sometimes thousands of meters deep.

To describe it, the entire swamp was a massive, deep swamp ocean, with occasional islands of hardened mud covered in weeds and old trees, barely enough for creatures to walk on. However, from all sides, the calm, waveless mud could at any moment unleash a deadly attack.

In this muddy terrain, Chu Mu indeed didn’t know what Soul Pet would be best to summon, and he continued to share the Purple Robe Dream Beast with Qingzi. If Ye were here, with his light steps, even the ocean would be as if flat ground, let alone the swamp.

As they continued forward, a huge mud lake suddenly came into view for everyone!

The entire mud lake was a ghastly sight, with mysterious bubbles forming on the surface that made everyone’s skin crawl, not to mention the foul odors it emitted, which were nauseating.

Both Qingzi and Mu Qingyi could hardly stand the smell. Fortunately, Qingzi summoned Lingyin Qie to dispel the stench around them.

“If someone were dragged down there, they’d suffocate or be suffocated by the stench, which is even worse than poison gas,” Chao Lengchuan muttered.

The two women nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Chu Mu’s gaze was fixed on a spot along the hardened mud at the lakefront in the distance.

“There seems to be some activity over there,” Chu Mu said. “Let’s go check it out.”

Ye Qingzi nodded and steered the Purple Robe Dream Beast elegantly as it floated by.

As they drew closer, Chu Mu soon spotted a Beast Soul Pet in the muddy lake, frenzily attacking the mud and emitting roaring sounds of utmost fury.

“An almost Dominator-Level Blood Qilin, what is it doing attacking the mud?” Mu Qingyi wondered, looking at the somewhat crazed Blood Qilin.

The Blood Qilin, about seven to eight meters long, was covered in blood-colored scale armor and somewhat resembled the ancient Qilin, clearly a descendant of the Qilin. Qilins, like dragons and phoenixes, belong to species of very high ranking. It is extremely difficult to obtain one under normal circumstances.

For some reason, this Blood Qilin was frantically attacking the calm mud and even attempting to burrow into it.

Non-water-based creatures would find it difficult to harness even a tenth of their strength if they fought underwater, and mud provides much more resistance than water; if the Blood Qilin burrowed into it, it would certainly be delivering a feast to the creatures of the lake.

“Roar~~~~~~~Roar~~~~~~~~~”

Just as the Blood Qilin was about to dive down, it noticed Chu Mu and the others approaching, and it hurried over, emitting a pleading sound.

“Young Master, its master has been dragged in,” Master Li translated the Blood Qilin’s words at this time.

With the vitality of a Soul Emperor, even without being attacked, one could only survive about five minutes under the mud. It was uncertain how long that poor fellow had been dragged down; pulling them up could result in a mud-covered corpse.

Ye Qingzi glanced at Lingyin Qie beside her and said, “Ling, save it.”

Lingyin Qie nodded, her colorful petal-like dress swiftly formed a whip-like vine.

The vine quickly burrowed into the muddy ground, searching the area where the Blood Qilin had attacked.

“Ling~~~~~”

Ling, having seemingly found the person deep in the mud, emitted a cheerful cry and suddenly pulled back the vine, forcibly dragging the person out of the mud.

“Snap~~~~~~~”

The flower vine snapped back, pulling a mud-covered person onto solid ground.

This mud person had already been enshrouded in several layers of mud, but with Ye Qingzi around, even if they had been in the mud for more than five minutes, they likely would not die.

Just as Ye Qingzi was about to administer aid, suddenly, a terrifying wave of mud rose up, and immediately, a rotting half-fish, half-wild-beast monstrosity with its lower body resembling a muddy fish emerged from the churning mud.

This beast had no arms, only ghastly writhing tentacles on both sides, looking as disgustingly horrifying as one could imagine!

Chu Mu and the others had never seen such a creature, and their gazes turned towards Master Li.

“This is a Swamp Fish Demon, a creature that combines Corpse type with Water System type. Its greatest hobby in life is to collect and accumulate bodies within its territory– the more bodies, the better its mood,” Master Li explained.

Hearing Master Li’s description gave everyone the chills, realizing there existed monsters that collected bodies. Could it possibly eat corpses? Ugh, that thought was even more disgusting.

“Hmph, was this the thing that attacked Qingzi just now?” Chu Mu snorted coldly.

Daring to target his wife, this disgusting fish demon was truly tired of living.

Since it liked collecting bodies, let it collect its own body too!

“Hiss!!!!!!!!”

The Swamp Fish Demon’s rotting eyes menacingly fixated on Ye Qingzi’s Lingyin Qie.

Clearly, the monster was enraged; someone had just snatched its soon-to-be-collected prize. It especially loved collecting human corpses!

Lingyin Qie was not a combat-type Soul Pet, and though it had reached the Quasi-Dominator Level, facing the ferocious Swamp Fish Demon, Lingyin Qie decisively jumped behind Chu Mu, emitting a sound like a little girl.

Chu Mu began chanting a spell. In the swamp, only the Demon Tree Warrior was suited for battle.

However, the Demon Tree Warrior was no longer suitable for training, and in the end, Chu Mu chose to summon Zhan Ye to coordinate with Mu Qingyi’s White Tiger in battle.

The White Tiger deployed its freezing ability, solidifying the mud to prevent the Swamp Fish Demon from returning to it, while Zhan Ye led the battle!
