Chapter 42 - Swamp Tortoise

Nie Kuang and Yue Yang followed Li Yi and walked towards the forbidden grounds. They had never thought that there would be such a strong and strange beast in the Violent Zone. It was fortunate that they found a lucky guy, otherwise, Nie Kuang would feel fear after thinking about it.

When Xiang Family's group began to enter the swamp area, it was quite smooth, they were only harassed a little, with not many casualties. The Xiang Family and the Chu Kingdom were led by a senior from the Xiang Family. She had white hair and a beard, her face was like a baby's, and her eyes were bright and lively. It was obvious that she was an expert.

The white-haired old man led the group inside. The more they walked, the more they felt that something was amiss. The old man could not recall the specific details of the problem, so he became even more cautious. Everyone came to a small hill. Although it was said to be a small hill, it was slightly taller than the other places. There wasn't anything special about it.

"This is bad!"

He finally realized that something was off. The surroundings were especially quiet, terrifyingly quiet. If there were no magical beasts in the swamps, then there was only one possibility: there must be powerful magical beasts in the surroundings, and this area was his territory.

The old man frowned, making everyone prepare their defense. The others were also shocked. After seeing the terrifying power of the forbidden zone, they all felt a chill run down their spines.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Suddenly, the ground began to rumble. It was as if the earth was enraged, and everyone felt that their feet were unsteady.

"Not good, we are now on top of the magical beasts, hurry up and retreat." The white-haired old man was experienced and knowledgeable. Upon seeing this form, he immediately came to a conclusion.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Before the crowd could retreat, the ground beneath their feet instantly rose up. Fortunately, everyone was an expert. With just a few swings, they were able to stabilize themselves. Several Sword Gods flew into the air with sou sou sou sounds. Some of the experts also fell down with the mud. Seeing that they were about to fall into the pit below them, all of the experts suddenly came to their senses. Their toes tapped on the mud beside them, and with a "whoosh, whoosh", they rushed back to where they were standing a moment ago.

The black tortoise was extremely large, over ten meters long, and the tortoise shell on its back actually covered an area of over a hundred meters, with a short tail that was over ten meters long. The four limbs under its body were like four sky-supporting pillars, and the deep pit beneath its body was instantly filled with water. Presumably, this black tortoise was sleeping here, and it did not expect to wake up because of everyone here.

When the Sword Gods saw the Black Turtle's true face, they sucked in a breath of cold air. The Swamp Turtle, Earth Type God-ranked magical beast, could spit out swamp poison smoke and instantly kill the enemy.

"Those below Sword Saint, quickly retreat." The white-haired old man shouted to the crowd.

The people on top of the tortoise jumped far away. Before some people could jump, the tortoise suddenly shook its body. One person on its body didn't stand steadily and instantly fell to the ground. The tortoise didn't even swing its tortoise and instantly caught the person who fell. "Kacha!" "Ka-cha!" With a sound, the Black Turtle actually started to chew that expert like he was its food. The experts all felt chills on their backs when they saw this. At this time, another expert landed, and the Black Turtle raised its leg, peng! That expert instantly turned into minced meat.

"Attack!" the old man shouted. The Sword Gods and Sword Saints instantly released a burst of sword light, howling as they slashed towards the Black Turtle in the swamps.

Bang!

Dust rose in all directions, and strong energy surged in all directions. Everyone's furious sword was not something that an earth might be able to block, it was just that after the sword light broke through the wall, the sword light seemed to weaken, only leaving behind a white scar on the Black Turtle's body. It was not a big surprise at all.

"It can actually release magic." An expert of the Sword God exclaimed. Since the human mages had arrived at the forbidden area, no one had been able to release magic, so how could they not be shocked after seeing the Mystic Turtle release magic?

"Its earth element magic is equivalent to a human Mantra God, so it can release magic even here." The white-haired old man from Xiang Family said.

After receiving a sword attack from the crowd, the Black Turtle seemed to be slightly angry. Its big eyes were waiting for them, and it opened its mouth, "Roar!" A cloud of black smoke quickly flew towards the group.

"Hurry and retreat, that's poisonous marsh smoke."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Some of the experts instantly hit the earthen walls that had just formed behind them. Others, seeing that something was amiss, instantly picked themselves up and flew off into the distance with the tip of their feet touching the earthen walls.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Those experts who hit the wall were instantly engulfed by the black smoke. The miserable screams might be the last thing they wanted to see in this world. The white-haired old man's heart ached as he saw this. He angrily yelled, "Attack!"

At this moment, the Black Swamp Turtle suddenly released its earth type forbidden spell, "Sudden Thrust". In an instant, a hundred meters around the Black Swamp Turtle formed a dozen meter tall sudden thrust. From the surroundings came another two miserable shrieks. The Swamp Turtle's beastly nature flared up and it abruptly made use of the earth element magic to instantly join up with one of the Sword Saints. The sword saint was shocked. A sword beam suddenly slashed at the Xuanwu turtle, and the turtle's eyes revealed a look of disdain. With a sound, only a white scar was left on the back of the Black Turtle, and it didn't hurt the Black Turtle in the slightest.

The sword saint, seeing that he was not a threat to the black tortoise, suddenly rushed forward. Unexpectedly, a thick wall of earth instantly formed in front of him, blocking the sword saint's path. Unexpectedly, a meteorite was falling down from above.

Bang!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A deafening sound accompanied by a blood-curdling scream ended the Sword Saint's life. At this moment, the Sword Gods had already arrived. Streams of sword beams carrying the force of a thousand kilograms descended upon the Black Turtle. "Yellow light flashed on the Black Turtle's body, turning into a protective ray of light." "Bam!" The yellow light beam was shattered instantly, and the Black Tortoise was sent flying more than ten meters away. Cracks were left on the body of the tortoise. If the tortoise wasn't famous for its defense, perhaps it would have died under the encirclement of more than ten Sword Gods. Even several Sword Gods were shocked at the scene and didn't expect the defense of the tortoise to be so powerful.

"Meteor Shower!"

The Black Tortoise was a little angry, and it instantly cast a large earth type forbidden spell, 'Meteor Shower'. It was a large scale forbidden spell with a great lethality. Boom! Boom! A series of enormous meteors descended from the skies, covering an area of three hundred meters.

The Sword Gods in the sky looked at the meteorite that was about to fall. Streams of sword lights instantly burst out from the sword, "Bang!" "Bam!" Many of the meteorites turned into dust before they even hit the ground. However, from afar, miserable screams could be heard. The experts who had failed to dodge the attacks had lost their souls beneath the meteorite.

"Full power attack!"

Several Sword Gods surrounded the Mysterious Turtle, their sword lights were like rainbows, and their auras were deep like the abyss. With a loud shout, 100% of their power was instantly unleashed.

Slash!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound vibrated as energy waves spread out in all directions. Wherever it passed by, the grass silently disappeared, and only after a few hundred meters did it gradually disappear. The sound of the wind blowing on the clothes of the expert could be heard.

Aooo!

A blood-curdling scream resounded through the nine heavens as the tortoise's shell was directly smashed into pieces. The tortoise lay prone on the ground with its four limbs pressed into a huge pit as blood crazily flowed out of its body like a fountain. Not long later, a small pool of blood formed around the tortoise, and the tortoise was on its last breath.

The Black Turtle trembled as it tried to stand up, but it was unable to do so. Grief could be seen in the eyes of the Black Turtle as it roared towards the sky.

Roar! Roar!

His voice was hoarse, but it was still extremely loud and clear. The Black Turtle's body then flashed with a yellow light as it abruptly shrunk.

The white-haired old man suddenly said: "Quickly retreat, he wants to self-destruct." Just as his voice faded, the only sound that could be heard was a deafening roar.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The earth trembled, and it was as if a volcano erupted. The loud noise made everyone's ears suddenly turn tranquil, and in the blink of an eye, their ears buzzed. The explosion of the Black Turtle in the swamps had formed a hundred meter large crater, and the Black Turtle had already disappeared, leaving behind only a puddle of bright red blood. Even the few Sword Gods who did not dodge in time had suffered quite a few tremors. One of the primary Sword Gods who was relatively close to them had traces of blood on the corner of his mouth.

The Xiang Family and the Chu Kingdom did not lose any experts this time, and actually lost two Sword Saints and a few dozen people. The losses could be said to be extremely heavy, and according to the statistics, other than the Sword God and the Sword Saint, only less than thirty people remained.

At this moment, Xiang Qiong, who was beside them, suddenly recalled the words Li Cangwu had said before he left, "It's too dangerous inside. Xiang Qiong was puzzled, he really did know what was going on inside.

The golden light was directed at them. Right now, they had only walked half the distance, and almost all of their men and horses had died. This was a forbidden area for riots, a place for riots. Xiang Qiong sighed. This was the charm of money!

Everyone tidied themselves up and then walked away. Not long after they left the swamp area, they all secretly felt relieved. Everyone looked around and immediately noticed a small pond not too far away. There were quite a few people resting beside the pond, and a bonfire was lit. From time to time, the fragrance of meat would drift over.

Everyone came to the front and discovered that the other groups of people had all arrived. The losses were great, but they were still the greatest among the Nangong, Liu, and Han Kingdom Imperial Clans, followed by himself, and the Ouyang Family, along with the other few other countries, had a total of about forty people, almost all of which were Sword God level experts. Their losses were quite large, and then there was the group formed by the various mercenary groups.

The rest were a few lone rangers sitting by the side. Amongst them, there was a second rank expert, a first rank expert, and a tall and strong one who was unable to see his cultivation level. He must be a super expert, or else in such a dangerous environment, he would be able to protect the two so easily. He could only be a super expert.

The three of them sat around a bonfire, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and chatting with each other with a smile on their faces. They were very uncomfortable, causing people to mistake this place as a place to relax and enjoy themselves.
