“It doesn’t sound like anything special,” Night Wind said.
"You'll know when we get there," Luo Mengxuan said with a smile.
After a pause, Luo Mengxuan added, "Junior brother, you're so powerful, dealing with that Mud Cloud Beast must be a piece of cake for you!"
"You flatter me, Senior Sister," Ye Feng said with a smile.
More than three hours have passed.
Colorful auspicious clouds floated over a large swampy area and continued forward.
This is Yunmengze, but we are only on the edge of Yunmengze now, and have not yet reached the central area.
After flying forward for about half an hour, Luo Mengxuan controlled the five-colored auspicious cloud to stop, hovering three or four meters above the ground.
“We can begin, Junior Brother Ye,” Luo Mengxuan said.
Night Breeze nodded and took out a piece of bait from his storage ring.
This bait was a special potion that Ye Feng refined in his alchemy furnace on the way here, according to Luo Mengxuan's request. It could attract the Mud Cloud Beast.
However, it is still impossible to guarantee whether it will be effective or not, and Luo Mengxuan dares not say that it will be 100% useful.
The night wind channeled its true energy into the bait, causing it to churn and ripple, releasing wisps of smoke.
Then a strong, fishy smell spread and permeated the surroundings.
Suddenly, the swamp below began to ripple slightly and bubbled.
"Something's about to come out!" Luo Mengxuan said.
"So you've attracted monsters so quickly? I wonder if it's a Mud Cloud Beast," Ye Feng said.
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, a dark gray loach more than three meters long darted out of the swamp below and leaped into the air!
It is indeed the Mud Cloud Beast!
Moreover, because of that bait, the Mud Cloud Beast mistook Night Wind for its prey!
"Now!" Luo Mengxuan shouted.
The Mud Cloud Beast lunged at Ye Feng, and opened its blood-red maw to bite Ye Feng's right hand, trying to swallow Ye Feng's right hand along with the bait in its hand.
But just then, the night wind opened its left hand and grabbed hard!
A large hand formed of true energy suddenly stretched out and grabbed at the Mud Cloud Beast.
Ye Feng is now a peak True Essence Realm martial artist, and no Separation and Union Realm demon beast can withstand his attack.
However, to Ye Feng's utter surprise, the Mud Cloud Beast twisted its body and escaped from his grasp of true energy!
What a slippery monster!
Night Wind was secretly alarmed, finally understanding what Feng Yuhan meant when he said that the Mud Cloud Beast was not difficult to deal with, but difficult to capture.
The thick, sticky substance on the surface of the Mud Cloud Beast's body was extremely fluid, and Ye Feng's powerful true energy hand couldn't control it at all; it could easily escape from Ye Feng's grasp!
"Junior brother, why did you fail?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
The mud cloud beast had already fallen back into the Yunmeng Marsh and disappeared into the swamp.
Night Wind rubbed his fingers together and said, "The Mud Cloud Beast is too slippery. The layer of mucus on its body is not enough to hold it, so I couldn't catch it."
"Um... what do we do now? Should we just kill him and take him back?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
“No, the mission says we have to capture it alive. The gallbladder of the Mud Cloud Beast is a very good medicinal material that can be used to refine many kinds of medicines. But once the Mud Cloud Beast dies, its gallbladder will lose its activity in a very short time, and more than 90% of its medicinal properties will be lost,” Ye Feng explained.
"It's hard to catch them, and it's not easy to kill them. This mission is really difficult," Luo Mengxuan muttered.
"Try again," Night Wind said.
The night wind continued to urge the bait in his hand to attract the mud cloud beast.
A short while later, another Mud Cloud Beast appeared.
This mud cloud beast is slightly smaller and is clearly not the same mud cloud beast as before.
There is more than one Mud Cloud Beast in this Yunmeng Marsh, so it is only natural that a second one has been attracted by the night wind.
Moreover, although this mud cloud beast was a little small, it was still sufficient.
Night Wind waited patiently and calmly until the Mud Cloud Beast could no longer contain itself and leaped out of the swamp on its own initiative, at which point Night Wind finally made its move.
Moreover, Luo Mengxuan also made a move this time.
The two of them made a series of aerial maneuvers, grabbing more than a dozen times in the blink of an eye.
But every time, the mud cloud beast would escape from their control!
The slippery nature of the Mud Cloud Beast gave Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan a terrible headache!
Luo Mengxuan became furious, drew her Broken Flower Sword, and slashed at him.
The slippery nature of the Mud Cloud Beast was of course ineffective against Luo Mengxuan's attacks, and a section of its tail was immediately cut off.
But at that moment, the Mud Cloud Beast's body and broken tail switched places, and then it fell into the Cloud Dream Marsh and disappeared, leaving only a short tail floating on the swamp and sinking little by little.
Moreover, its tail would occasionally slap the muddy water, as if mocking Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.
The Mud Cloud Beast is so slippery, and it also possesses this innate ability to switch positions. How can we catch it?
Luo Mengxuan was practically going crazy!
The night wind was also a bit irritating; capturing the Mud Cloud Beast was much more difficult than he had anticipated.
"Try again," Night Wind said.
"Mmm." Luo Mengxuan nodded vigorously, even grimacing and clenching her fists tightly.
The night wind continued to stir the bait, releasing a scent that attracted the mud cloud beast.
This time, a full half hour passed before a mud cloud beast finally appeared.
This mud cloud beast was larger, longer, and thicker than the previous two mud cloud beasts, and it looked more ferocious.
And as soon as it emerged from the swamp, the mud cloud beast immediately swung its tail and pounced on the night wind in the air.
The night wind repeatedly urged its true energy to try and capture, and Luo Mengxuan did the same.
However, just like the previous two times, this Mud Cloud Beast was extremely agile and slippery. Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan used all their skills, but they still couldn't catch it.
Seeing that the mud cloud beast was about to fall back into the swamp and escape, Luo Mengxuan became ruthless and stabbed the mud cloud beast more than a dozen times, killing it.
However, even after killing the mud cloud beast, the capture mission still failed.
After all, a dead Mud Cloud Beast is basically worthless.
Ye Feng used up all the bait he had three times.
To continue luring the Mud Cloud Beasts here, we need to prepare new bait.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry!"
Luo Mengxuan stomped her feet repeatedly and threw a tantrum.
Ye Feng was initially quite irritable, but seeing Luo Mengxuan so angry, he chuckled and his mood improved considerably.
"Let's ignore the Mud Cloud Beast for now, Senior Sister. Let's rest for a bit and think of a solution," Ye Feng said.
"That's the only way." Luo Mengxuan nodded.
As night fell, Luo Mengxuan and Ye Feng ate barbecue around the campfire.
Fish roamed the Yunmeng Marsh with ease, and Ye Feng easily caught a few blackfish to grill. Although no seasoning was added, the taste was still very delicious.
