Jiang Yuan led the Desire Rabbit to the location where the Void Blood Spirit had stopped. All that could be seen was dark purple earth, with swampy depressions of several hundred square meters appearing every so often in the surrounding land.

"This is it!" Yu Tu jumped down from Jiang Yuan's arms, then closed her eyes to recall the description of the Void Blood Spirit. After confirming that the environment was roughly the same, she pointed to a spot.

"Void Blood Spirit, go and find the divine medicine!"

Yu Tu gave the order with great enthusiasm, but she didn't know that the Void Blood Spirit had already stopped.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't find the Void Blood Spirit!" Jiang Yuan patted the wrinkles in his sleeves and then walked straight towards the largest swamp depression not far away.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Tu quickly followed with Void Blood Spirit.

Jiang Yuan slowly said, "Someone died here not long ago, so there must have been some treasures that someone else got there first!"

With the hand of death, he was exceptionally sensitive to the aura of the undead, especially those who had died not long ago; he could sense them simply by closing his eyes.

"No way, would anyone come to such a remote place?" Yu Tu looked up at the dense, withered forest. This kind of place was not only gloomy but also eerie, and most people would only turn away.

Look there!

Jiang Yuan pointed to the very center of a swamp, where the withered stem of a lush plant remained in the mud.

"And that too!"

Jiang Yuan pointed again, but this time he pointed not to the broken stem, but to the edge of the swamp.

"That's a nylon rope!" Yu Tu exclaimed in surprise when he saw a piece of white rope still floating on the swamp.

"The things Kui left behind should have been taken by the Phantom Squad!" Jiang Yuan shrugged. Although he wanted to see what Kui had left behind, it didn't mean he held a grudge against the Phantom Squad. In fact, treasures are meant to be possessed by those who are destined to receive them, and the Phantom Squad's ability to snatch the items first was their skill.

"Then we've come all this way for nothing!" Yu Tu stomped her feet in anger. She had been coveting that thing for a long time. After all, now that she had the Flame of Life, all she needed was that treasure to refine pills and improve the purity of her bloodline.

"uncertain!"

Jiang Yuan stared intently at the bottom of the swamp. "If it's just an ordinary swamp, why would a Phantom Squad with two Super Ninth Tier members suffer losses here?"

He could clearly sense that someone had died here. If it were just about picking medicinal herbs, no one could have died!

"Someone might be stuck in the swamp!" Yu Tu said without hesitation.

Glug, bang!

Another bubble rose from the bottom of the swamp, then burst with lightning speed.

Jiang Yuan drew his spear and shouted sharply at Yu Tu, "Back off! There's something down there!"

"ah!"

Yu Tu wasn't stupid; he took two steps back, drew his weapon, and prepared for battle.

Bubbling and gurgling, a large number of bubbles rose from the swamp, and a huge, foul odor spread throughout the withered forest.

"I'll see who's really playing tricks!"

Jiang Yuan's divine energy transformed into fire attribute, and he unleashed the Yangyan Domain, with massive flames scattering across the swamp.

"Ugh!"

The first monster burst forth from the swamp. It was a creature with the head of an animal and the body of a human, crawling on all fours. Its thin body gave it a frail appearance.

"Heavenly Eye!"

"A ninth-tier demon, with a soul energy of 3,800, formed from the bodies of a hundred ghosts, a group of wandering souls with no way to return."

Jiang Yuan was shocked; this was actually a monster above the ninth rank.

However, this was not the end. Just three seconds after the first monster appeared, a second of the same kind emerged from the depths of the swamp.

"Void Blood Spirit, block that one!" Yu Tu waved her hand, sending the Void Blood Spirit to block Jiang Yuan, while she herself brandished the Entangling Silk and fought towards the second demon.

Both the Desire Rabbit and the Void Blood Spirit are above the ninth rank, making it easy for the master and pet to fight against two spirits without any talent.

"It's not bad!" Jiang Yuan wanted to make a move, but after seeing the Desire Rabbit that had taken in two demons, he gave up the idea of ​​fighting.

He spread his divine wings and flew towards the middle of the swamp, stopping in front of the withered stem from which the main fruit had been removed in the blink of an eye.

In-depth analysis!

Jiang Yuan's Heavenly Eye lingered on the broken stem, and soon all the information about the plant appeared in his mind.

"So this is the flower!" Jiang Yuan's eyes shone even brighter. He had initially thought it unnecessary to obtain the flower, but after examining it, he had changed his mind.

Jiang Yuan will surely obtain this flower!

"The Three-Life Lotus, a sacred lotus growing in the hell of sin, draws upon the power of all living beings to condense the Three-Life Dao Fruit. Number of Dao Fruits remaining: two."

Just as the identification was underway, the swamp stirred again, with three bubbles rising from the bottom of the swamp in succession.

Here we go again!

Jiang Yuan didn't need to think much to know what this meant. Previously, two super-ninth-level demons emerged from the two bubbles, and now with three bubbles, the number of demons appearing would certainly not be less than the number of the two.

Sure enough, foul-smelling mud filled the air, and three identical monsters appeared before Jiang Yuan.

The three-headed demon attacked without saying a word, and their combined attack was quite powerful and sweeping.

Jiang Yuan drew his gun to deal with the situation. He looked at Yu Tu, who was already locked in a stalemate. If this battle was to make any progress, it would have to be a breakthrough on his side.

"Then kill them!"

Since Jiang Yuan had made his decision, he was determined to go all out. He activated the God War and the Ultimate Armor, and even the killing intent he had cultivated during the Blood Elf Trial surrounded him.

"A butcher! A butcher!"

Suddenly, the demon stopped in its tracks, its already hideous face becoming even more unsightly with this shout.

"Aaaaah!"

As the first demon screamed abnormally, the second demon also started screaming madly. And that wasn't all. The madness seemed to be contagious. The third demon screamed in despair, and the fourth and fifth demons did the same!

Jiang Yuan and Yu Tu looked at each other, completely baffled as to what had happened. Why did this normally fierce demon suddenly go berserk in the blink of an eye?

With a splash, the first monster crawled into the swamp, followed by the second, the third, and so on until the last one entered the swamp. The strange scene was as if the battle had never happened!

"This?" Yu Tu racked her brains but still couldn't understand why the demons had retreated for no reason.

"Be careful, it might be a trap!" Jiang Yuan gripped his gun tightly, not daring to relax. He even suspected that the demon was stalling for time, its purpose being nothing more than to delay until his divine battle ended so that it could defeat him.

"They were just shouting something about a butcher, it sounded like..." Yu Tu was on guard, but more than that, she was puzzled.

"Human butcher!"

Jiang Yuan pursed his brows slightly. This was a very unfamiliar term; he hadn't heard anyone use it since entering the Tomb of the War Lord.

"I don't think things are that simple!" Yu Tu said, expressing his opinion.

"You stay on the shore and I'll go dig up that broken stem!"

After waiting for a full five minutes, and making sure that the demons would not reappear, Jiang Yuan decided to dig up the Three-Life Lotus.

Although the Three-Life Lotus had its Dao Fruit harvested, that was only the Dao Fruit of its first life. According to the power of all living beings gathered by the Three-Life Lotus, it can continuously gather Dao Fruits three times after it matures. In other words, after he transplanted the Three-Life Lotus into his personal space, he can still harvest it twice more.
