The sound of heavy objects sinking into the water. Yang Ji jumped several times and finally arrived at the place where the sound came from.
Hundreds of black poisonous insects swarmed the rock deer's carcass and carried it to the depths of the swamp. Then, as if they had completed their mission, they screamed and dispersed.
The body of Yanlu was floating on the top of the swamp, with its huge eyes staring blankly at the sky, and slowly sinking. If there were no accidents, it would take more than six hours for the body of Yanlu to completely sink to the swamp.
deep.
"Is this their destination?"
Yang Ji stepped on an overturned dark tree trunk as thick as a sea bowl and more than three feet long, thinking deeply. The swamp is very dangerous, but after all, it is different from the lake. As long as the method is used properly, the swamp still has a lot of buoyancy.
It will sink immediately.
There were numerous corpses around the body of the rock deer, and the bones of unknown animals were dotted on the swamp. Among them, the ones Yang Ji recognized the most were the skeletons of spiritual apes. They were densely packed. Obviously, many spiritual apes died in the past.
it's here.
The whole place is eerie.
Yang Ji looked back and saw that the group of black poisonous insects carrying the rock eagle had already returned to fighting each other. They dispersed and went far away. Some of the vicious poisonous insects even fought and devoured each other on the way.
.
Just looking at the way they were biting and attacking each other, it was hard to believe that just a moment ago they were in harmony and working together as one.
"There must be something weird here!"
A sharp light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes.
"Wow!"
Yang Ji was still stepping on the dead tree trunk in the swamp and thinking about these black poisonous weirdness, when suddenly he heard a huge sound in his ears. From the corner of his eye, a bright red tongue swung out from the depths of the swamp like a horse.
It bounced out. The huge red tongue was more than ten feet long and bounced straight into the air.
scare!
Yang Ji staggered in fright and almost fell off the black dead tree trunk. What was this? The tongue was thicker than a human being. Yang Ji could even see pieces of squirming soft flesh on the bright red long tongue.
"Snapped!"
The dirty muddy water splashed everywhere, and the bright red long tongue swished down, wrapped up the body of the rock deer not far away, and dragged it to the bottom of the swamp with a roar.
"Boom!"
The rock deer weighing seven to eight hundred kilograms disappeared into the swamp in an instant like a piece of paper. The next moment, a huge rumbling sound came from the bottom of the swamp, and quickly went eastward.
too fast!
In just a blink of an eye, the huge rock deer and the monster under the swamp disappeared. It was incredibly fast!
"Chase!--"
Without even thinking about it, Yang Ji jumped out from the black dead tree trunk in an instant and headed towards the direction where the sound came from.
The swamp was very dangerous. As a last resort, Yang Ji ran as fast as possible along the edge of the swamp. No matter what, Yang Ji had to find out what the rock deer swept away.
Is it possible that so many poisonous insects are living in peace and cooperating together, transporting animal carcasses here year after year, and that monster at the bottom of the swamp? Only by finding that monster can we find out.
Swish, swish, swish!
Yang Ji jumped as fast as he could, using his "Swallow Through the Clouds" to the limit, and chased away quickly.
The tree trunks and bones floating on the surface of the swamp were just stepped on by Yang Ji, and they immediately shattered with a click and sank into the swamp. The situation was extremely dangerous. But Yang Ji could no longer care.
His mind turned over and over again, and what kept flashing through his mind was the image of that long bright red tongue bouncing up from under the mud of the swamp.
A huge danger filled his heart. Yang Ji had a feeling. The monster was probably extremely powerful and could not be dealt with by him. There would be a lot of danger in chasing him rashly.
But at this time, another strong curiosity quickly took over.
Yang Ji had spent several hours getting here from Yuanshan Mountain. He didn't even know his current location.
Seeing that this monster has been unleashed under his nose, Yang Ji would always feel deeply unwilling if he hadn't gone back so unclearly and without knowing anything.
"No matter what, I have to figure out what this monster is."
Yang Ji felt secretly in his heart.
His mind was running rapidly, enough to deduce the flaws of a high-level martial arts, and his powerful analytical ability to improve it came into play again.
In this vast swamp, Yang Ji almost instantly found a "fulcrum" for him to stay and draw on.
The surrounding miasma is getting thinner and thinner, and I don’t know how long it has passed——
"Buzz!"
A gentle breeze hit his face, and a burst of fresh air rushed into his nose. Yang Ji felt his eyes light up and suddenly became enlightened. Only then did he realize that the miasma around him suddenly disappeared.
A stretch of continuous mountains appeared in front of us. Between the mountains and the mountains, a vast swamp stretched out into the distance like a wide strip.
"too fast!"
Yang Ji thought in his heart. The rumbling sound had gone far away, leaving only a faint voice pointing the direction.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji jumped up onto the shore and ran after him.
This journey was extremely novel for Yang Ji, and it felt like a completely different world. This was the first time that Yang Ji discovered that there was such a novel world near Tieguan Mountain.
After an unknown amount of time, the rumbling sound completely disappeared.
"Gone."
Yang Ji appeared at the place where the sound last appeared and frowned. The monster was too powerful. Although it traveled underground, it was still faster than him.
"Not appropriate."
Yang Ji stood up, looked around, and carefully observed the terrain:
"It's very spacious here, and sound can be easily transmitted. And there are green mountains on both sides. Under certain circumstances, there will even be echoes. Although my speed is not as fast as that monster, there is no reason that the distance between me and it is so big that even the echo can't be heard.
I can’t hear it at all!”
Yang Ji was puzzled. Not being able to catch up was one thing, but not being able to hear the sound was an exaggeration. Yang Ji secretly calculated that unless the distance between them reached more than ten miles, they would be completely inaudible.
A little sound.
But this is impossible.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he suddenly flew up the mountain. He flew towards the highest point on the mountain. A moment later, the mountain wind hit him, and the strange rocks stood out. Yang Ji stood on the top of the mountain, and the entire swamp was instantly visible to his eyes.
From the foot forward, the swamp winds along the mountains on both sides, and the opening becomes smaller and smaller.
"Huh? There seems to be a lake in there."
Yang Ji Dingqing looked around and saw only the end of the swamp, along the corner of the mountains. There was a black lake with a faint moonlight.
"Why is there a lake here?"
Yang Ji was surprised, and his mind was filled with thoughts. In the dark, there seemed to be a flash of lightning passing through his mind. Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't grasp it for a moment.
"Go over and have a look!"
Yang Ji didn't have time to think too much and rushed down the mountain top toward the place where the light of the lake came out.
"It's really a lake."
Just when he saw the end of the swamp, Yang Ji saw the lake. The lake was pitch black and exuded a rotten smell that made people unable to help but cover their noses.
Compared with the lake in front of me, the stench from the swamp is nothing at all.
"Senior Brother Zhang, do you think they can succeed this time..."
While I was checking the lake, a sudden voice suddenly came from the top of a nearby mountain. The sound was faint and it seemed that it was not far away.
"Why...why is there someone here?"
Yang Ji's eyelids twitched, and he was filled with surprise. This place is remote, desolate, and inaccessible. It is also extremely far from Tieguan Mountain.
It was a complete coincidence that he appeared here, but what happened to these people?
"Go over and have a look."
Yang Ji was curious. With a bounce, he suddenly jumped out and landed on the hillside next to him. After several ups and downs, he went straight to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the rugged mountain, two young men, one tall and one short, in green clothes and iron crowns, walked along the ridge, exchanging words with their heads lowered as they walked, completely unaware of Yang Ji who appeared in front of them.
"He is a disciple of our Iron Crown Sect!"
Yang Ji became more and more curious. But when he saw the disciples of his sect here, he still felt a sense of intimacy.
"Senior brothers, you are polite."
Yang Ji stood on tiptoe, flew over, and said with clasped hands.
"scare!"
The two Iron Crown disciples were startled when they saw the sudden appearance of Yang Ji. However, they did not dare to be rude after seeing clearly his attire and the seal of "Disciple of the Disciple" on his waist.
"It turns out to be senior brother!"
The two of them quickly returned the favor.
Although Yang Ji can't control them, within the sect, the "disciples" still have quite a status.
"Haha, why are these senior brothers here?"
Yang Jidao.
Hearing Yang Ji's words, the two of them were startled, looked at each other, seemed to understand something, and suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, senior brother is really good at seeing jokes!"
"What else can we do here? - We're not just here to see this 'poisonous golden toad' like our senior brother, hahaha."
…
The two laughed loudly, but when this remark fell to Yang Ji's ears, it was like a thunderbolt.
"What?!"
Hearing these four words, Yang Ji's whole body trembled, with a look of astonishment on his face. In the dark, it was like a flash of fire flashing through his mind, and the thought that he couldn't grasp suddenly became extremely clear.
"The poisonous golden toad? The poisonous golden toad that Sun Jue mentioned... is this the poisonous pool he mentioned?"
At this moment, Yang Ji was stunned.
Yang Ji never expected that this was actually the "Poison Pond" where Sun Jue had mentioned a few months ago that he and his senior brother Tian Kui would capture the poisonous golden toad.
What a surprise!
"It turns out that this black lake is the 'Poison Lake'."
Yang Ji was sitting high down, looking down at the dark and lifeless "lake" at the foot of the mountain, with thoughts in his mind one after another.
"Lake water" is "tank water", which Yang Ji did not expect. He can only say that he is too preconceived, or that not all "tank water" is as "small" as he imagined.
"If this is the Poison Pond, then wouldn't the monster I found in the miasma be the Poisonous Golden Toad?"
Yang Ji murmured to himself.
Thinking of the incredibly long tongue that he saw, Yang Ji suddenly realized that it was the tongue of the poisonous golden toad.
The person who rolled up the rock deer and dragged it underground was none other than the "poisonous golden toad".
"... In this case, the army of poisonous insects in the miasma forest transported the carcasses of rock deer just to feed the poisonous golden toad. This monster actually ran such a long distance and walked through the swamp to hunt for food.
It’s incredible!”
Yang Ji was astonished. But considering that the poisonous golden toad also wanted to eat, it was not surprising that there was so much lifelessness in the smelly pool water that there was nothing edible.
Yang Ji had a feeling in his heart, knowing that there were definitely not many people hunting these highly poisonous golden toads in the miasma forest. Maybe even he was the only one.
