Chapter 204 Diving into the Swamp

Their slightly regretful gazes swept over the substitute puppet before they all looked away.

Sang Tiao instantly laughed, using his employer-like position to command the mercenary group's demons: "Come on, get me a fire and a stove."

Sang Tiao forged weapons on the spot.

Although the Ghost Puppet Sect has always focused on puppetry, it is also one of the top sects in the Demon Realm when it comes to weapon crafting.

Su Yu set up a photo opportunity to half-heartedly learn from Su Yu, and then found a spot nearby.

Feng Huaijin swallowed the dirt on the ground with black mist, took out the table and chairs that came with his storage ring, placed two lamps on the table, and sat down with Su Yu.

Use this time to deal with the messages and tasks that have piled up over the past few days.

They are indeed very busy, fulfilling their duties in their respective positions.

But in addition to official business, there were also "surprises" brought by extra news.

Thirteen days later, Su Yu received another message about Su Yao.

It came from the demons of the Ghost Market.

In short, Su Yao helped the Du family of Xiaocheng incite the lower-level demons to rebel against the brutal city lord's family.

They've almost succeeded in changing hands in Xiaocheng.

That brat didn't leave and is causing trouble?! What if we don't have enough spirit stones to replenish our spiritual energy?

Su Yu racked her brains to recall relevant information about the Xiaocheng City Lord's family. After confirming that the change of ownership of Xiaocheng would not have a significant impact, she decided not to interfere.

Su Yao caused trouble and rebelled in the Demon Realm, so it must be that the city lord's family that offended her.

Judging from the word "brutal" used in the message, it's definitely not a good thing.

So Su Yu only asked the Ghost Market to keep an eye on Su Yao's spiritual energy usage, and if it ran out, to send her some spirit stones, which would be deducted from her allowance as usual.

He'll settle accounts with Su Yao after he comes out of the Demon Abyss.

Xiaocheng is a main city and the most powerful force in Liuhua City. If Hua Min and other demons hadn't directly become disciples of Yuanfu and left Liuhua City, the outstanding talents of these subordinate city families would most likely have been transferred to Xiaocheng to serve for five or eight years.

It's quite a coincidence.

Su Yu decided to let go of Su Yao's message for the time being, since the opportunity to enter the Demon Abyss was just around the corner, and he couldn't rush over immediately.

Feng Huaijin glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and asked Su Yu with concern, "Has Ayao not left the Demon Realm yet?"

Su Yu calmly hummed in agreement.

Feng Huaijin whispered, "Brother, don't be angry. She probably just wants to see the Demon Realm; she doesn't have any bad intentions."

Su Yu looked at him with a strange gaze.

Feng Huaijin gradually suppressed his smile: "What's wrong?"

Su Yuzhi was about to speak again: "Are you just pretending to be magnanimous?"

“Brother noticed, huh?” Feng Huaijin responded nimbly with a restrained smile, leaned to the side and rested his head on Su Yu’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “I can’t help it, I just want you to like me a little more.”

My ears turned red, which was quite embarrassing.

Feng Huaijin saw that Su Yu's ears had turned red, but as if she had been encouraged by something, she wanted to keep up the good work.

He straightened up, leaned closer to Su Yu, and lightly touched Su Yu's ear with his lips: "Does brother like me more?"

A sensation of itchiness and heat swept from her ears to her cheeks at the same time. Su Yu opened her mouth, wanting Feng Huaijin to be more self-respecting and at least pay attention to his image as the Demon Lord in public.

A loud "bang" was heard, followed by cheers from the demons.

"Hey, it's done! It's done!"

It's the protective clothing that Sang Tiao made for the other demons.

Su Yu immediately spoke quickly: "Let's put the tables and chairs away first, we're going downstairs soon."

Feng Huaijin: ...

Sang Tiao, your success came at a really bad time.

It's definitely not the right time.

Anyway, Su Yu felt it was the perfect time.

This successfully gave him a reason to break free from the ambiguous atmosphere created by Feng Huaijin, allowing him to refocus his attention on the important matters at hand.

After putting everything away, he pulled Feng Huaijin forward to join in the fun. He picked out two protective suits with nicer patterns from the finished products that Sang Tiao had displayed, and while wearing them, he listened attentively as Sang Tiao talked about the effects of these protective suits.

The two guides, Daota and Daoping, stood helplessly to the side, not making a move for a long time.

Dota asked Sang Tiao nervously, "Senior boss, are we going down too?"

Sang Tiao glanced at them, then at the sky, and waved his hand generously: "No need, it's almost dawn anyway. I'll give you the payment first, and you can go back on your own after dawn."

Refining weapons is no easy task, especially since Sang Tiao refined protective clothing for dozens of demons. Due to his vigilance regarding the entrance to the Demon Abyss, Sang Tiao also maximized the material configuration of the protective clothing, which naturally took a lot of time.

It's already past midnight; in another hour or two, it will be dawn.

Dota Daoping was overjoyed. After accepting the magic stone bag, he said a few auspicious blessings and then tactfully stepped aside so as not to disturb his employer's preparations.

As the leader of the group, Yuan Wu was naturally cautious in his actions. He chose two demons not to enter the swamp and to stay outside to guard the area, so that they could communicate and discuss with the demons left in town in case of any trouble.

Once the demons were ready, Sang Tiao's substitute puppet went down first to test the waters. Just in case, the puppet had a rope tied around its waist.

The substitute puppet submerged, and Sang Tiao, with her eyes closed, provided real-time updates.

"Ugh, it feels so dirty. It looks like it's all mud down there, all pitch black."

"The next level is all water."

"...The puppet sank to the bottom and was moved by the formation."

"There is no danger at present."

Sang Tiao concluded that the remaining demons did not delay any longer. After confirming that their protective suits were always effective, they held their breath and jumped into the swamp.

Su Yu looked at the swamp, her brows furrowing in undisguised disgust, but she didn't want to delay. She grabbed Feng Huaijin's wrist and stepped into the swamp.

Fortunately, the protective suit made by Sang Tiao worked well, forming a shield around the body and preventing any contact with the mud.

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Before the swamp could slowly engulf her, she simply said to Feng Huaijin, "Let's go."

Then, aided by magic, they sank rapidly.

Vision fades into darkness, and even the slightest movement of the body produces a gurgling sound from the thick, sticky mud.

Su Yu felt a sudden tightening on his wrist; Feng Huaijin had gripped his hand tightly from behind.

However, due to the rapid descent, the darkness lasted only a moment before his feet touched the bottom and stepped into the formation.

There was no reaction at first, but after the number of landing sounds increased, the formation suddenly activated and burst out with a strong fluorescent green light.

To be honest, the current activation glow of the demon realm array is mainly black and red, and it only flashes faintly to indicate activation. The light is weak and highly concealed.

Anyway, it doesn't have a strong fluorescent green light.

If the commotion is too great, the opponent will quickly discover that the formation has been set up, and then how can they launch a sneak attack?

My eyes!

A demon nearby screamed in agony.

On the surface of the swamp, a fluorescent green light pierced through the swamp and enveloped the area.

There was also a scream that abruptly stopped.

Dota Dota's expression turned horrified, and he kept glancing at the remaining Mowang: "That's it, the Lantern Ghost is here!"

The demons who remained behind unconsciously became tense.

But after the fluorescent green light faded, there was no swamp in front of them, only a lush, green expanse of vegetation.

The two players, Dota and Dota, huddled together screaming, "Ahhh! Lantern Ghost! Lantern Ghost got eaten! Lantern Ghost ate us! Ahhhh!"

Sang Tiao opened one eye: "What's all the noise about? It's just the light from the array."

The puppet doesn't seem to trigger the array light.

She looked down at the lush greenery and murmured, "It really is a random transfer."

That would be difficult to handle.

Even if there are her stand-in puppets below, there's no way to determine their location from underground.

Does she have to collect more skeletons to create puppets and find an entrance?

Or perhaps they can come out and find it themselves?

Never mind, let's collect them first.
