This time, nothing unexpected happened. The demon disappeared and never reappeared. Jiang Yuan also successfully dug out a large clump of silt from the swamp, where the lotus stem of the Three Lives Lotus stood.
"You're too good at managing money! You even took this lotus stem!" Yu Tu was speechless. She had never seen Jiang Yuan care about her like this before. Now, he was treating a lotus stem that had already been picked like a precious treasure.
You don't understand!
Jiang Yuan happily put away the Three-Life Lotus, and carefully found a place in his personal space before transplanting it.
"You're laughing so happily, anyone who didn't know better would think you've had a stroke of good luck with a girl!" Yu Tu pouted and said with dissatisfaction.
"Little rabbit, you did a great job just now. You finally know how to take the lead in protecting your big brother!" Jiang Yuan praised Yu Tu with a smile.
"cut!"
Yu Tu rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"Any interest in going together to rescue the Phantom Squad?" Jiang Yuan suddenly asked.
"Save the Phantom Squad?" Yu Tu raised her eyebrows and said crisply, "Aren't you the type to mind your own business? You actually care about their lives now!"
"How can you talk like that? If I were really that bad, would you be standing here slandering me?" Jiang Yuan protested, trying to clear his name.
Unable to argue further, Yu Tu could only grit his teeth and say resentfully, "We don't even know the location of the Phantom Squad, how are we supposed to rescue them!"
"You don't need to worry about that, I have a brilliant plan!"
Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and began refining the Three Lives Lotus. After successfully refining it, he faintly established a connection with the first Dao Fruit of the Three Lives Lotus. "As expected, I haven't gone very far!"
"Did you find it?" Yu Tu couldn't help but admire Jiang Yuan's confident face. Don't let his usual lax attitude fool you; when it comes to doing something, he's decisive and efficient.
"Come with me, they're not far from us!"
...
"Captain, Old Yang's poison has reached his heart; there's no saving him!"
"Damn it!"
With a loud crash, a long sword flashed, and the man with his hair tied up ruthlessly cleaved the withered tree in front of him, a wisp of black smoke escaping from the tree.
"Captain, we've been sending out a distress call for eighteen hours, and not a single team dares to enter the Undead Swamp!"
The man with his hair tied up cast a cold glance over the three remaining people. He said in a deep voice, "This time, I'm the one who caused your trouble. If I hadn't insisted on exploring the Undead Swamp, our team wouldn't be in this predicament!"
"Captain, this has nothing to do with you! You're just trying to improve our team's strength, that's why you're frantically looking for opportunities to test us." The youngest member of the Phantom Squad had an incredibly determined look in his eyes.
"Yes, our Phantom Squad fought our way up from an unknown team to the top ten in Haicheng, relying on our ruthless fighting spirit. If we didn't even have the courage to face death, we would have quit the Phantom Squad long ago!"
"Captain, we've long since disregarded life and death, please don't blame yourself!"
The three survivors of the Phantom Squad kept comforting He Yiping, which only made He Yiping's guilt even heavier.
This trip to the Undead Swamp was He Yiping's idea, but he never expected that such an idea would lead to the annihilation of the Phantom Squad.
"Captain, there's no time left. You take Xingyan and Yun'er and fight your way out!" Geng Ge wrapped a nylon rope around his waist, then resolutely turned back to wait for the monster's arrival.
"Geng Ge, let's go together! I can't leave any more teammates behind!" He Yiping shouted excitedly. He had experienced enough of this scene today, and he didn't want to lose any more teammates.
"It's too late! The monsters have surrounded us. Someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat!" Geng grabbed a nylon rope and ran out. This was essential in the swamp, because once you were stuck in a swamp with no footholds, even a ninth-rank warrior would be helpless.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" He Yiping's eyes were almost red. He knew what staying behind to cover the retreat meant. In this deadly forest full of dangers, countless monsters would tear apart those who stayed behind to cover the retreat.
"Captain, we have to go! We must not let Brother Geng down!" Xu Xingyan hurriedly left, dragging He Yiping and Yun'er, who were still wailing.
Seeing He Yiping and the other two escape, Geng Ge breathed a sigh of relief. He then revealed a death-defying smile and charged towards the monsters, shouting, "You think a clay figure like me has no temper after chasing me all this way?!"
Whoosh! A streak of black energy swept in and easily pierced through Geng Ge's abdomen. But he had anticipated this, so instead of crying out when he was attacked, he rushed straight for the nearest demon.
"Try my incendiary bomb!" Geng Ge punched the demon and shoved an incendiary bomb into its mouth. As flames spewed out, solidified fuel rolled all over the demon, and the flames sizzled and burned.
"Hehehe!"
Geng was laughing wildly, but another monster covered in branches grabbed him and easily threw him into the swamp.
"You'll all die a horrible death! You monsters will all die a horrible death!" Geng laughed maniacally as he cursed. He could imagine his fate, because several of his teammates had died the same way before.
The monsters in the Undead Swamp don't kill people directly; instead, they drag their enemies into the swamp and suffocate them. Although he didn't understand why these monsters went to such lengths, it was clear that the fear brought by this method of death was unimaginable.
Thorns!
More and more twig monsters entangled Geng, then together they dragged him into the swamp's mud, while the wraiths, who already lived deep in the swamp, grabbed Geng's feet, trying to make him sink faster and die, becoming one of them.
"Jiang Yuan, there's someone ahead!" Yu Tu's face lit up with joy. They had been chasing for dozens of kilometers before finally seeing the first figure. It would be a lie to say they weren't excited.
