Lin Qingwan, who had left the space, did not dare to stay, and ran away in the jungle, heading in the direction they had discussed before.
Without Lin Qingwan's team, they all followed Xuan Ye's arrangement and headed towards the place marked on Lin Qingwan's map. They didn't encounter any major troubles on the way, except for the occasional spirit beast that blocked the way, but they were all solved by Xuan Ye. The further they went, the more powerful the spirit beasts they encountered!
"Xuan Ye, do you think the young lady is okay? It's been three days. We are traveling so fast. Can the young lady keep up?" Ding Lei was honest and simple. He came to Xuan Ye and asked.
"I don't know either, but with the young lady's abilities, I think nothing will happen to her." Xuan Ye explained.
"I know the young lady is powerful, but the three immortal cultivators she met that day looked very powerful. What if the young lady encounters them? Besides, although the young lady can draw talismans and has superb martial arts, she cannot practice after all. There is no trace of mysterious energy in her body. What should she do if something happens to her?" Ding Lei expressed his concerns in one breath.
Xuan Ye smiled slightly and said, "You think too much. Believe me, Miss will be fine!" Xuan Ye patted his shoulder, quickened his pace, and rushed to the front of the team. Are you kidding? It's true that Miss doesn't have Xuan Qi. She is a cultivator! Ding Lei naturally didn't know the difference between cultivators and Xuan Qi practitioners.
Soon, they encountered an area covered with thick fog and a swamp appeared in front of them.
The bottomless quagmire was covered with thick fallen leaves, making it hard to tell whether it was flat ground or an abyss. The swamp was filled with fog, blocking the view. This naturally formed trap was daunting.
"What should I do? I can't see the road ahead clearly." Xia He looked at the woods where visibility was less than two meters, with a worried brow.
"You can only walk slowly. Be careful with your feet. Usually there are swamps in this kind of environment. Once you fall into it, the consequences will be disastrous." Xuan Ye analyzed.
"We can use these vines to twist them into hemp ropes, and then lead them together. In case someone accidentally falls into the swamp, others can quickly pull them up." Ding Jie expressed his idea and received everyone's affirmation.
So everyone pulled the prepared hemp ropes and walked towards the thick fog.
What they didn’t expect was that there were other creatures hidden in the thick fog, and their number was astonishing!
Not long after they entered the thick fog, they heard a squeaking sound, but because of the thick fog, no one knew what was making the sound.
Everyone was shocked and stopped where they were.
"What's that sound?! It seems to be coming from above our heads." Xia He has already drawn his sword, ready to fight at any time. Living in the jungle for so many days has taught them to be steady, not to panic and to deal with things calmly.
The crowd formed a circle, back to back, taking precautions! They left their backs to their companions. Only this time, the danger came from above! Everyone looked up, trying to see what the monster was.
Just as everyone was on high alert, bats flew overhead. They spread their wings and were huge, like eagles, trying to catch their prey.
"It's a vampire bat!" Chuntao recognized it the first time!
Everyone was shocked! They knew vampire bats, but it was the first time they had seen such large and numerous ones.
"What should we do? This thick fog is their amulet! And we can't walk fast in this swamp!" Chun Tao told them about their current predicament! The number of vampire bats was astonishing. If they were unable to leave here, they would sooner or later be exhausted of their mystical power and die!
"We must find a way to leave, otherwise we will die here and become their food!" Xuan Ye said his plan after killing a bat. His hands were still waving. The others did the same.
"We divide into two groups, one group to explore the swamp and move forward, and the other group to deal with attacks from the sky. In this way, we can move forward slowly and leave here as soon as possible." Xuan Ye said.
"This idea is feasible! Xuan Ye, Ding Lei and I, the three of us will deal with the bats, and you three will be responsible for finding the way, maintaining formation, and moving forward!" Xia He said, and continued to swing the sword in his hand, cutting off four or five bats at a time. The squeaking sound in the sky was endless!
"Try not to get hurt. They are bloodthirsty and the smell of blood will attract more bats!" Chuntao reminded.
In this way, they moved forward with difficulty in the swamp.
Lin Qingwan was also rushing to the agreed place at a high speed. The time agreed in seven days was not far away. Since Lin Qingwan advanced, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed, her facial features became more sensitive, and her body became lighter. A cultivator in the foundation-building stage could fly with a sword, but Lin Qingwan didn't dare to be so ostentatious at the moment. Even if she wanted to try, she had never flown by herself in her two lifetimes! But now the danger was still there, and she could only fly quickly in the jungle!
Two days later
"It's been about two days, why haven't we gotten out of the swamp yet?" Xia He was exhausted. They had been in a fierce battle for the past two days and had no time to rest. They had been moving forward slowly, but the swamps that appeared from time to time in this area hindered them and slowed their movements. Several times they almost fell into the swamp.
Everyone was so tired that they could hardly stand, and a feeling of despair spread in their hearts!
"I think we..." Chun Tao didn't finish her words, but everyone knew what she wanted to say. Everyone sat on the ground, bats in the sky flew towards them one by one, and there was already a thick layer of bat corpses on the ground, but these things seemed to be endless, and everyone's hearts sank to the bottom of the valley.
After a while, Xuan Ye said, "We can't just wait to die like this! I'll lead them away, you guys leave quickly!" As he said this, he was about to cut his arm.
Xia He was quick to stop him! She angrily knocked the dagger out of his hand and roared, "What are you doing! You can't do this! You can't give up until the last moment! Have you forgotten that we are a family!" Xia He could no longer control her emotions and shouted loudly.
Ding Lei was also very angry when he saw this. He was angry at what Xuan Ye did. The honest and simple man was a little overwhelmed at this moment. He shouted: "You can't do this. Xia He is right. We are a family! We must advance and retreat together!"
Others also tried to persuade Xuan Ye to give up the idea of sacrificing himself.
Seeing that everyone was united, Xuan Ye did not take action again, but instead joined everyone in fighting against the bat attack.
In this way, they persisted for a while. However, everyone had reached their limit. They could no longer muster a trace of profound energy in their bodies. With the continuous fighting, the consumption was extremely great. They were about to despair.
The bats in the fog were like fish in water, flying in to attack them from time to time. Under the cover of the thick fog, they came and went freely.
