By this time, the giant crocodile had been sucked into a dried-up corpse by Ma Huang. He casually waved his hand and put away its body: "This crocodile skin is a good thing."

It is an excellent choice for making armor or weapons.

Princess Soren and Prince Silver Shark frowned. They had clearly played a significant role in defeating the giant crocodile. If they hadn't held it back head-on, Ma Huang wouldn't have had the chance to launch a successful sneak attack.

However, the two were of noble birth and had a large family fortune, so they didn't care much about the crocodile skin.

I don't want to offend a powerful enemy at this time.

So the two suppressed their displeasure and took advantage of the gap to fly across the swamp.

Ma Huang chuckled and followed suit.

Meanwhile, the other groups cursed under their breath. They had originally thought that the crocodiles would lend a hand after they finished dealing with the crocodiles, but who knew that they would leave first?

Lion Spirit snorted coldly, tapped its toes, and charged directly into the gap in the giant crocodile's domain.

Although Xiong Da and Xiong Er look simple-minded, they are not stupid. Seeing this situation, they would not be foolish enough to stubbornly resist.

So the two of them worked together and flung the toad into the crowd on the shore. They then waded through the water and ran to the other side.

The crowd on the shore cursed angrily. They had originally hoped these people would help clear the way, but instead, they had become cannon fodder to delay the ferocious beast.

Despite their cursing, they still had to fight back against the toad's attack. Among them were quite a few hidden experts, and although things were chaotic for a while, there was no one-sided victory.

While they were forcing the giant red-striped thorny mantis back, Jin Shi, Princess Changning Kong Nanqing, and the others also ran to the other side.

Having just exchanged blows, the Crimson-Spirited Giant Mantis was well aware of their strength, and seeing the tragic death of the giant crocodile beside it, it didn't necessarily insist on fighting to the death.

The others nearby hurriedly followed, but those who had been hiding far away for fear of being caught in the fighting were too late and started cursing.

A chubby figure mingled with the crowd and reached the other side. He smiled and muttered to himself, "He even came up with a trick to give them the map. I'm so clever."

This was none other than Wu Liang, the fat Taoist priest whom Zu'an and his group had encountered before.

Just as he was feeling smug, he suddenly saw the grove of trees in front of him and the stone statues on both sides. He felt a sense of profound mystery, and his smile froze instantly.

"Huh?" He hurriedly took out a compass and Bagua diagram and started calculating with his fingers. The more he calculated, the more alarmed he became.

"The Azure Dragon is jealous of its master, the White Tiger carries a corpse, the Vermilion Bird weeps, and the Black Tortoise hides its head! How can this be such a deadly place? Impossible, it doesn't make sense!"

He was pacing anxiously, and passersby stared at him as if he were crazy, keeping their distance.

After a while, Wu Liang looked at the crowd gradually receding into the distance, gritted his teeth, and thought, "We've come this far, there's no way to turn back now. We can only bite the bullet and push forward."

The Great Way reaches fifty, the Heavenly Cycle reaches forty-nine, there is always a glimmer of hope!

He kept comforting himself like this, and took out a lot of talismans to hang on his body. They represented gods from various sects, hoping that among all the gods and Buddhas in the world, there would be one that could protect him.

Meanwhile, Zu'an and his group walked at the front. Looking at the stone statues on both sides, he sighed, "This must be the spirit path. I wonder what kind of important person is buried here."

Yun Jianyue said in a deep voice, "Everyone must be careful. With this number and quality of stone statues, the person buried here is no ordinary person. And how could such a person allow others to disturb his resting place?"

“Indeed, I sense that the arrangement of these trees here is somewhat strange, as if it were some kind of formation.” Yan Xuehen observed the surrounding woods with her clear eyes.

Zuan also tried to communicate with the small animals around him using the jade cong, but there was no response, clearly indicating that this place was a dead zone.

At this moment, Yu Yanluo said, "The giant snake just told me that there is something inside that can help me break through my bloodline."

Zuan was startled. The cultivation of the demon race is not so step by step. Although she can use Medusa's abilities now, there are great limitations. If she can fully awaken her bloodline, her strength will probably reach a new level.

Even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we have to brave it this time.

Yun Jianyue asked in confusion, "I didn't see you chatting just now?"

Yu Yanluo blushed slightly: "Our snake clan has its own special methods of communication."

Having lived in human society for a long time, she considered herself more as a human being and was somewhat ashamed to mention the snake race in front of the others.

Just then, gasps of surprise rang out from the side.

As they looked up, they noticed that as they ventured deeper, wisps of mist began to rise around them.

At first, the fog was very thin, and fog is common in the mountains and forests, so no one took it seriously at first.

But almost in the blink of an eye, everyone realized that the fog had become so thick that they couldn't see anything more than a meter away.

This speed is too fast; everyone knows it's definitely not normal.

Soon, the sounds of various weapons being drawn rang out, clearly indicating that everyone was on high alert, fearing that something might rush out of the mist to launch a sneak attack.

Zuan said in a deep voice, "This fog seems to have the effect of blocking spiritual senses, so we basically don't know what's happening in the distance."

Since he began cultivating his divine soul, he has been able to monitor a large area around him at all times, and now he feels as if he has become blind.

Indeed, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frug

Yan Xuehen nodded as well: "I'm about the same. Let's not get separated, this place is probably a maze."

Yun Jianyue said with a smile, "Ice Stone Maiden, are you afraid of getting lost? Why don't I hold your hand? That way you won't get lost."

Yan Xuehen simply turned her head away in response, and Yun Jianyue remained unperturbed: "Oh, you don't like me holding your hand? Then you want Xiao Anzi to hold your hand?"
