Mo Qingchen, who arrived shortly after, was met with this disappointing scene. Anger rose within him, and he began to reprimand her.
Mo Qingwu was completely stunned: "Mo Qingchen, are you still my biological brother?"
Mo Qingchen frowned slightly: "Mo Qingwu, it's one thing for you to be willful at home, but how can you act without thinking when you're out here? The Ninth Elder and Sister Qingcheng rushed over to save you the moment you arrived, and all they got in return was your hysterical cursing. Please, have some decency!"
Mo Qingwu's vision blurred; the boy before her must have been possessed, otherwise how could he utter such hurtful words? For some reason, an unease welled up within her, and a bad thought flashed through her mind, too fast for her to grasp.
Suddenly, a crocodile opened its blood-red maw and bit down towards Mo Qingwu's head.
"Ah—" Mo Qingwu screamed.
"Shut up!" Mo Qingcheng shouted, and she and Ninth Elder Mo Chuyue leaped into the air, attacking the crocodile from the left and right.
Mo Qingchen reacted quickly, his toes barely touching the ground, wanting to join the fight, but the next second, a tremendous suction force gripped his legs tightly. Wet
not good!
Mo Qingchen was shocked. It turned out that not everyone could fight on the swamp.
The Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the steward elder Mo Qing'an arrived breathlessly, only to witness this terrifying scene.
"Fifth brother, quickly try the Beast Taming Technique..." The Third Elder's expression was solemn.
The Fifth Elder's old face scrunched up in a frown. "Third Brother, I just tried... and there was no reaction at all. I wonder if there's some kind of special restriction here?"
The Third Elder felt a chill in his heart; what should he do?
Mo Qingchen bit his tongue, swallowed a pill, and forcibly boosted his strength. His movements were slow; he gripped his longsword tightly as he approached Mo Qingcheng. (Wet)
"Brother Qingchen, this swamp is a bit strange. Do you feel your internal energy draining away?" As Mo Qingcheng spoke, she took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a few pills with heartache, swallowed one herself, and gave one of the remaining two to Mo Chuyue and the other to Mo Qingchen.
Mo Qingchen's eyes widened as the pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, a gentle power flowing through her meridians. Mo Qingchen was startled; she had truly been blinded by greed before, deceived by Mo Qingwu. Where could she find such a wonderful younger sister?
The three fought a fierce battle against a horde of crocodiles, and a thick stench of blood permeated the entire swamp. The others fought a guerrilla war on the sidelines; what else could they do?
No one could pinpoint exactly what was wrong. Neither the Third Elder nor the Fifth Elder could fight in the swamp. It was incredibly frustrating.
The Fifth Elder's old face turned red. The fact that the dignified Beast Taming Elder of the Mo Clan couldn't control a crocodile was sure to make the onlookers laugh their heads off.
The three elders were somewhat embarrassed. If it weren't for Qingqing and Lao Jiu, Mo Qingwu would probably have lost her life here.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Mo Qingcheng and Ninth Elder Mo Chuyue exchanged a glance. It was time to wrap things up!
The two women exchanged knowing smiles. Mo Qingwu dared to trip them up; if they didn't make her suffer, she wouldn't be the little witch.
"Brother Qingchen, you are responsible for bringing Sister Qingwu ashore." Mo Qingcheng turned around, her face pale, and solemnly instructed her.
Mo Qingchen nodded, his heart filled with mixed feelings. His legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he couldn't lift them at all. But he couldn't let the elders and Sister Qingcheng see him in a bad light. Even if he had to drag her, he would drag that idiot Mo Qingwu to the shore.
Mo Qingwu's body went limp, and she quickly sank down until her legs disappeared in the blink of an eye. She screamed, "Ah—!"
"Shut up!"
