Su Yi and his group followed the route on Wang Baocai’s map until they came to the plains. They bypassed the extremely strange looking forest and stepped onto this seemingly peaceful plains.

However, the moment they stepped on it, they felt that something was wrong.

The land on this plain was extremely soft. Stepping on it was like stepping on cotton, and their entire foot almost sank.

Seeing this, Wang Baocai, who was scouting ahead, immediately raised his hand and shouted.

“Stop!”

The three women behind him and Su Yi, who was behind them, stopped with this shout. Su Yi slowly walked forward and looked at Wang Baocai as he asked in puzzlement, “what is it, fellow Daoist Wang? Did something happen?”

The latter nodded lightly and brought Su Yi to a place in front of them as he asked in a somewhat serious manner, “fellow Daoist Su Yi, look.”

As he said this, Wang Baocai extended his foot and took a step forward. Even with Wang Baocai’s slender figure, he quickly sank his foot into the soil in front of him.

“Swamp?”

He could not help but blurt out as he watched Wang Baocai quickly pull out his foot.

Following that, he also tried to take two steps forward. As expected, he quickly sank into the ground. This forced him to circulate his true essence in order to break free.

The two of them looked at the plains in front of them with a solemn look in their eyes.

There were no greenery on the plains. At first glance, it looked like a green carpet of grass. However, there was a slight stench in the air of the plains. One could tell that this place was not a good place.

Wang Baocai circulated his true essence. Then, his body moved and he took the lead to rush out. The swamp could trap mortals, but it could not trap cultivators like them.

It should be known that it was easy for foundation establishment cultivators to walk on the surface of the water, let alone the swamp.

Wang Baocai poured his true essence under his feet and flew across the swamp as fast as a dragonfly skimming the water. His speed was so fast that it even stirred up a gust of wind. However, not a speck of soil stuck to him. He was still as graceful as ever.

“You guys follow him first. I’ll stay behind you all,” Su Yi looked at the three women and said.

Soon, three beautiful figures flew out quickly. Their footsteps were light as they walked elegantly and quickly through the vast swamp.

Their steps did not leave a trace of mud behind. After that, he had already circulated his true essence to follow them.

After a period of time, they were all safe and sound in the swamp. It was as if they were just a peaceful swamp. However, their current bodies were not at ease.

They did not know until they entered the hinterland of the swamp. Only then did they see many huge white bones revealed in a corner on the ground.

The source of these white bones came from huge demon beasts. However, the strength of a demon beast with such a huge body was definitely not bad. How could they be trapped in a mere swamp?

They did not know, so they could only be more careful. The strangeness of this swamp was probably beyond their imagination.

Suddenly, when they reached the center of the swamp, the accident that they had expected happened.

The mud under the swamp suddenly churned. Then, something that looked like a long whip shot into the sky from the swamp, wanting to entangle the people who were moving quickly on the swamp.

“Watch out!”

Wang Baocai had no time to shout before he crashed into a long whip that shot up into the sky.

Immediately, the long whip seemed to have a mind of its own. In an instant, it bound Wang Baocai up tightly before dragging him into the swamp.

You have got to be kidding me. Brother, are you here to make a joke?

Even without Wang Baocai’s surprised cry, the three women had already reacted. They used the true essence condensation spell to block the sudden attack of these long whips.

On these long whips, they could feel the fluctuation of spirit energy. It was a demon beast!

However, these demon beasts were hiding under the swamp and only used tentacle-like things to attack them. They had no idea what kind of demon beast it was.

At this moment, Wang Baocai, who had been dragged into the swamp, suddenly soared into the sky. He was covered in strange mucus, as if he had just escaped from the stomach of some demon beast. There was still a lingering fear on his face. “Damn it!” he cursed angrily.

“Damn it! I thought it was something cool, but it turned out to be a stinky toad!”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, are you alright?” Su Yi looked at Wang Baocai, who had crawled out from the mud, and said in surprise.

Wang Bocai spat and nodded. He endured the mucus that covered his entire body and said to Su Yi and the others.

“Fellow Daoist Su Yi, hurry up and leave. Damn it, there are all these toads under the mud.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded. Then, their speed increased by a lot, and they sped toward the end of the swamp.

Especially the three women. After seeing Wang Baocai’s ruined appearance, they sped up even more. They did not want to end up in the belly of a toad.

However, the attacks of the toad demon beasts were not limited to one wave. The long, whip-like tongues shot up into the sky from the swamp. Then, they circled in the air and chased after them.

Su Yi, who was at the back of the group, saw this and casually waved his sword.

A cold glint appeared, and then it struck the tongue closest to him. What was terrifying was that the sound of metal clashing rang out.

Dang–

This sound made his scalp go numb. Was this f*cking toad demon beast’s tongue made of metal?

However, even so, his sword finger still pierced through the long shed, and the toad’s tongue also shrank back in pain.

However, this was only the beginning. Something triggered the toads, and the attack of the toad demon beasts under the swamp seemed to have become more aggressive.

The steel tongues within a hundred-meter radius of them soared into the sky. Soon after, they sensed Su Yi and the others and immediately chased after them.

Perhaps it was an illusion, but it seemed like these toad demon beasts were moving extremely fast under the swamp. The three women’s cultivation was relatively low, and they actually felt as if they were being caught up.

Seeing that the three women were about to be caught, he did not intend to waste any more time. His eyes sharpened, and the terrifying speed of the Footloose Illusionary Body Technique erupted.

“Three Pure Flowing Shadow!”

He softly shouted, and his figure transformed into three flowing shadows as he charged straight towards the three women.

After that, he extended his hand and pulled Zhao Xuening’s delicate body into his embrace. Nie Ling and Li Mengxi were lifted up by his spell, flowing shadows.

When Zhao Xuening saw Su Yi lifting her up like a god and ghost, she struggled for a moment. After which, she stopped struggling and quietly lay in his embrace.

“Let’s go, we need to speed up!” he shouted loudly. With Zhao Xuening in his arms, he transformed into a ray of light and rushed towards the end of the swamp.

His speed was so fast that it even caused the sound of air being torn apart. This was his true speed.

The fastest man had returned.

The other two streams of shadows, together with Nie Ling and Li Mengxi, turned into a stream of shadows and rushed towards the end of the swamp.

In the depths of the swamp, only Wang Baocai, who was rooted to the spot, was left.

“Damn! Fellow Daoist Su Yi, why don’t you bring me along too!”
