C109

Initially, everyone had discussed their plans to rest for the night, and only enter when the miasma in the swamp was at its weakest at dawn on the next day. However, right now, Nong Lan had been accidentally kidnapped, and her entire plan had been thrown into chaos.

"This little bastard knows that he's being tricked. If he has the ability to fight face to face with the drum, what's the point of hiding his head and showing his tail …"

Big Beard was infuriated in his heart as he muttered curses.

"Stop complaining, listen to what the master and my brother say?"

Long Xiaowei frowned as she stared at the big bearded man, interrupting his speech.

Calmly thinking for a moment, Lin Yiyuan frowned: "Wei Cai only has one goal, at the same time weakening us, and forcing us to enter the swamp overnight. Perhaps he had already set up a trap in the swamp, and was waiting for us to step in, then she would be able to defeat us effortlessly."

After understanding Lin Yiyuan's analysis, Master A Zan nodded his head in agreement. He said that Wei Cai was afraid, so he changed the strategy in order to get rid of the group on the way, which was an open conspiracy. He knew that we wouldn't give up on Nong Lan and not care about him.

Everyone expressed their opinions, even Long Xiaowei had agreed to it. Even though Big Beard was unwilling, it was hard for him to cry with his bare hands, so if he wanted to stay, he didn't have the guts. He was afraid that Wei Cai would suddenly appear and grab him, or poison him to death.

With all these considerations, the big bearded man finally nodded his head and agreed. Together with Lin Yiyuan, he supported Pu Zhana on his left and right as they walked towards the camp.

When Long Xiaowei returned, the sky had already started to darken. Long Xiaowei took out the rations to feed Pu Zhana, and Master A Zan went to cut the pine resin. Lin Yiyuan then took out the Ghost Lamp Coil that had already dried and grinded it into a powder, and placed the pine resin in the pot to melt. He then sprinkled the Ghost Lamp Crab Powder and the solid fuel into the pot, stirring it evenly before wrapping it up and wrapping it around the wooden stick.

After having created ten torches consecutively, the group once again smeared the Ghost Lantern Spot juice on their clothes, before eating something. After which, they packed up their things and prepared to enter the swamp.

The procession was led by Master A Zan, who was in charge of leading the way. Long Xiaowei was in charge of leading the way, Long Xiaowei and the bearded man supported Pu Zhana as they walked in the middle, and the torch which had been added into the Ghost Lamp Cove took effect at this moment. The thick miasma in the area that they passed by roiled intensely, and was forced ten feet away by the flames.

After ten minutes of walking, no one spoke, only the sound of their feet splashing in the water. The last glimmer of the sun finally fell from the sky, and the moon slowly revealed itself, revealing a faint outline. It was slowly glowing with a bright halo.

Lin Yiyuan sized up the place as he walked, there were a lot of dead trees around him. Some were big and some were small, they had been in the black water for a long time, they had long been rotten and were emitting a terrible stench.

As they entered deeper and deeper, they could hear the sound of rustling noises. It was obvious that the poisonous insects were swimming in the stinky water.

Pop!

In the silent atmosphere, a strange sound suddenly came out, Master A Zan who was walking in the front stopped in his tracks, and focused at a spot on the right, which was a distance away, so his vision was blurry, and it was difficult to see where the movement came from.

"Master said that it was the sound of a bubble bursting. There should be something inside the black water. Let's not disturb it and just quietly go over."

Big Beard, who was walking in the middle, turned his head and whispered.

Lin Yiyuan nodded his head to show that he understood, the group continued to advance, but no one would cause trouble, but trouble would take the initiative to find them, and once Lin Yiyuan took a step forward, the surrounding swamps would change, with popping sounds rising and falling, the black water seemed to boil.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Lin Yiyuan took out the talisman paper and held it between his fingers, he focused on observing his surroundings, just then, Pu Zhana raised one of his sleeves and waved it to his left and right, as though he had thrown something.

Just as Pu Zhana's movements stopped, there were two sounds of water splashing, the sounds in the swamp suddenly stopped, as though everything had frozen. Everyone was extremely shocked, with the big bearded man asking Pu Zhana a question, after finding out the reason, he revealed a face full of shock!

"What's that?"

Long Xiaowei asked curiously.

"He said it's two water serpents that can restrain the poisonous bugs in the water."

Even though the bearded man explained, he still found it hard to believe. He added, "He's been supporting him all the way. I don't know about the two snakes on his body. Isn't he hiding it too deeply?"

Big Beard's gaze was somewhat presumptuous as he looked at Pu Zhana from head to toe, wanting to see where he had hidden the snake.

Lin Yiyuan found it funny and was about to urge the bearded man not to dawdle, but at this moment, he suddenly became nervous. Sensing that something was approaching him from behind, he was just about to turn around when he suddenly heard a splashing sound of water coming from behind him.

The big black python intended to attack, but Lin Yiyuan raised the torch high to force it back. The big black python hissed angrily, its green eyes stared straight at the crowd, its tongue slightly moving, its gaze landing on Long Xiaowei, the green in its eyes grew stronger, its mouth opened, continuously dripping thick saliva, its eyes drooling.

"Hurry up!"

Lin Yiyuan who had never seen such a huge snake before couldn't help but feel his hairs stand on end. With a low and stern growl, he let the people in front of him leave, while he himself held onto the talisman in his hand, ready to fight the enemy at any time.

At this critical moment, Long Xiaowei was unwilling to leave, but it was Pu Zhana and Big Beard who dragged her along.

"Brother, be careful!"

Long Xiaowei turned and warned.

Lin Yiyuan did not dare to speak in this critical moment. The huge black python in his eyes saw him as buying time for the rest to retreat, a man and a snake did not give in to each other, if he were to split his focus easily, the huge black python would probably pounce on him right on his head.

Seeing that the food in its mouth was going to escape, the big black python started to get restless, its body slowly swimming out of the quagmire, reaching a height of more than five meters, looking down at Lin Yiyuan from above.

Lin Yiyuan did not hesitate, he raised his torch and moved it to the left and right of the big black python, the rising flames and crackling sounds of the pine resin burning was extremely terrifying, the big black python was extremely afraid, hence it did not dare to recklessly attack.

The sound of footsteps gradually drifted further and further away. Probably, everyone had already left the danger zone for the time being. Only then did Lin Yiyuan let out a cold laugh, throw out the talisman in his hand, and shout: "Limitless Heaven and Earth Borrowing Art, Wind Fire and Thunder, pass!"

Lin Yiyuan seized the opportunity to turn around and run. The shrill cry of the giant black python came from behind him, the pain of the raging fire burning his body made the giant black python go crazy. Its thick body rolled on the ground in the mud, and very quickly, the flame was extinguished.

The big black snake was burnt to a crisp, black smoke continuously emitting from its body. It was furious that it had suffered such a heavy injury. It immediately went berserk, twisting its body as it chased after it like a bolt of lightning …
