Mortal: Fengling Linggen, married Chen Qiaoqian

The blue-eyed man pondered for a moment and said carefully:

"There's no need to worry too much. Although the Flouri Swamp is dangerous, we only discovered the Shadow Tribe last year. How could it be such a coincidence that we encounter other lurking alien races?"

"This time we inspected the Fuli Swamp, a level one dangerous area. The rewards were quite a lot, and we could rest for a long time afterwards."

"As long as we can survive these few years, there may not be any more dangerous areas like this in the future. Everyone should prepare according to what Senior Yan said."

After hearing this, the others had no choice but to disperse.

Yan Yun was sitting on a cushion in the secret room, his hands clasped together, a pale golden halo surrounded his body, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

However, there was a faint golden halo flickering behind his head, alternating between dark and light, exuding a mysterious aura.

A day passes in a flash.

Yan Yun walked out of the quiet room and into the hall, where he saw the blue-eyed man and others who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing him appear, everyone came forward and saluted.

Yan Yun waved his hand slightly, his eyes swept across the crowd, and finally fell on a beautiful female cultivator.

The woman was about twenty years old, her skin was whiter than snow and almost transparent, and her eyes were as bright as stars.

As Yan Yun stared at it, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Yan, this is Fairy Xu, the direct descendant of the ascended monk." Taoist Ma introduced with a smile.

"Descendants of ascended monks?" Yan Yun was shocked, but his face remained calm and he just nodded slightly.

The female cultivator seemed to have a rather cold temperament and remained silent after a brief greeting.

"Everyone is here, let's go."

Yan Yun gave orders decisively, and the group quickly left the stone hall and headed towards the nearby teleportation stone hall.

This stone palace was guarded by another team of monks. Although there was a golden boat parked here, it was not used because it was a short-distance transmission.

After handing over their identity tokens, everyone entered the teleportation array in batches, three or four people in each batch. Then, with a flash of white light, they were teleported out of Tianyuan City and arrived at an unfamiliar place.

When Yan Yun, the blue-eyed man and others stepped out of the teleportation array, they felt a little dizzy. Then they looked around and found that this was a small stone chamber.

There is a one-way teleportation array in the center, and various runes are flashing on the surrounding walls, as if covered by some kind of restriction.

Taoist Ma and others who had arrived earlier were already waiting here.

Yan Yun walked out of the teleportation array calmly and took a few steps to the door of the stone chamber.

He took out the green jade pendant and shook it. Suddenly, green light shot out, and the runes on the stone door floated and slowly opened, revealing a spacious passage leading directly upwards.

Yan Yun did not stop, but turned into a startled rainbow and rushed in first.

In the stone chamber, ten men used escape techniques and left quickly.

As the last person left, the stone door glowed slightly and slowly closed.

Yan Yun has escaped through the passage and appeared above the hill, looking around.

He was in a desolate hilly area. Looking behind him, he saw flashing lights a hundred miles away and a huge section of the city wall was clearly visible.

The various runes on the city walls flashed with amazing light and could be seen even from a distance.

Yan Yun looked at the city wall carefully, his eyes flashing.

He knew that the giant wall of Tianyuan City facing the wild world had no city gates, and both humans and demons had to rely on the teleportation array in the city to enter and exit.

Under the protection of dense prohibitions, Tianyuan City is protected from invasion by foreign races.

The place Yan Yun was patrolling was not in this direction.

He turned and looked to the other side, where there were hills of all sizes, lush and green, a peaceful and tranquil scene. There was no sign that this was the rumored ancient world.

According to intelligence, the Fuli Swamp is thousands of miles away.

Due to its unique terrain, the place can block the detection of divine thoughts to a certain extent, so alien races often lurk there to monitor the dynamics of Tianyuan City.

In order to deal with this threat, Tianyuan City had to regularly dispatch teams of monks to patrol and conduct reconnaissance.

However, the alien races that were able to sneak in and monitor Tianyuan City all had great magical powers, and were particularly good at the art of concealment.

In the counterattack, many human monks also died here.

Fuli Swamp, like several other areas in Tianyuan City, is classified as a high-risk area and is the place that monks on patrol missions are most reluctant to go to.

The patrol team that Yan Yun is in has been assigned to be responsible for patrolling this area and will face great risks in the next few years.

After Yan Yun pondered silently, he looked back at the monks behind him and said the word "go". More than ten streams of light shot out instantly and headed straight for the sky.

For cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, a distance of more than ten thousand miles is just a moment's work. Soon after, Yan Yun saw the destination of this journey from afar - a winding green line came into view.

As we approached, our vision gradually became clearer, and a hazy mist appeared in front of us. In this layer of mist, the outlines of mountains and trees were vaguely visible, as if we were in a fairyland.

Yan Yun lightly waved the magic weapon in his hand, and a specially made spiritual disk appeared in his palm.

As he tapped lightly, a layer of red light suddenly appeared on the spirit disk.

Upon seeing this, the other monks also took out the spiritual disks they carried with them and began to cast spells to activate them.

The Alien Spirit Disk is a magical tool carefully crafted by Tianyuan City for patrol guards, which can sense the presence of aliens within a specific range.

Although this item can usually only sense a single direction and may not be very effective against certain alien races with special magical powers, its existence undoubtedly greatly increases the safety factor.

Everyone took out their strange spirit disks, slowed down their speed, and stepped carefully into the mysterious mist.

Soon after, their figures completely disappeared in the mist, leaving no trace.

The weirdness of the Floating Swamp is far greater than any other place.

After entering the swamp, Yan Yun and others discovered that their spiritual thoughts could not extend beyond a hundred feet, and that the area was thick with fog and illusions, which caught them off guard.

The most troublesome thing is that under the mud in the swamp lives a strange insect called "Gui Worm".

These insects are shaped like centipedes, with sharp mouths all over their bodies. They can spit out poisonous mist, corrode magic weapons and devour the protective aura of the monks.

While one or two Gui worms pose no threat, they appear in groups, with dozens emerging from the mud at once, and are capable of low-altitude flight.

Every time the insect swarm is disturbed, the inspectors become busy and flustered.

Since they are tasked with detecting traces of alien races, the patrol team cannot fly at high altitudes to avoid the Gui bugs, and can only move close to the ground.

Therefore, the attacks of Gui insects have become a regular occurrence, causing great trouble to the patrol work.

During the exploration of the Fuli Swamp, Yan Yun and his group encountered many dangers.

In an accident, they disturbed a huge swarm of insects, and three or four hundred insects swarmed out from the swamp.

At the critical moment, Yan Yun used the Yuanci Divine Light to fix these strange insects in the air, and quickly destroyed them with spiritual fire, preventing the team from being severely damaged. This incident not only demonstrated Yan Yun's strong strength, but also won more trust and admiration from the team members.

However, the dangers of the Floating Swamp go far beyond this.

In addition to the Gui worm, there is also an ancient beast called the silver-headed beast living here.

This ancient beast is good at lurking in dense forests. It can ignore physical attacks and has the ability to split itself. Even Yan Yun finds it difficult to deal with it.

Fortunately, the silver-headed beast is slow-moving and has a strong sense of territory, and will not pursue you once you leave its territory.

Despite this, its existence still poses a considerable threat to the team.

Despite facing so many unknowns and challenges, Yan Yun and his teammates deeply realized why the Fuli Swamp is called a first-level patrol area.

Here, every step needs to be taken with caution, as any carelessness may result in losses.

Yan Yun and others have been exploring this mysterious swamp for more than twenty days.

Along the way, they remained highly alert and moved forward carefully. Fortunately, no trace of aliens has been found so far.

This made Taoist Ma and others feel relieved, and the tense atmosphere in the team also dissipated.

After flying for most of the day, even the high-level monks felt tired.

In order to keep their minds focused during patrols, they exert a huge amount of mental energy.

Just then, a clear pool of water appeared in front of us, surrounded by emerald green bamboo forest, and the breeze brought cool breezes.

The beautiful scenery lifted everyone's spirits.

The blue-eyed man asked Yan Yun, "Senior Yan, this place is beautiful and safe. Can we take a rest?"

Yan Yun nodded in agreement and reminded everyone to stay alert and check if there was anything unusual around them.

During this journey, Yan Yun seldom took direct command of operations and was usually open to suggestions from the blue-eyed man and others.

Yan Yun's relationship with everyone became more harmonious because of this incident. The blue-eyed man smiled and waved to the people behind him.

Then, two old men and a couple flew around quickly. There was no reaction in the strange spirit disks in their hands. Only then did everyone land on the gravel ground with peace of mind.

They did not plan to stay long, so they each found a clean place and immediately sat down cross-legged in order to recover their minds as quickly as possible.

As a Jindan cultivator who had practiced the Dayan Jue, Yan Yun did not feel tired during the inspection. Therefore, he did not sit down like the others, but walked leisurely to the edge of the pond and looked at the surrounding environment.

The water in the pond is so clear that you can see the bottom. Small silver fish as thick as fingers are swimming in the water, looking harmless.

Seeing this scene, Yan Yun frowned slightly, raised his head and looked around, his eyes sweeping over the dozen or so green bamboos nearby.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing gently around, making it seem particularly quiet.

The blue-eyed man and ten other people were either beside the pond or under the green bamboo, also remaining motionless.

Yan Yun stood by the mirror-like lake, gazing deeply into the water.

After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly tightened, then returned to normal. He slowly turned around, as if ready to walk towards the green bamboo in the distance.

No one noticed that the moment he turned around, his hands in his sleeves moved quickly, and a faint red light burst out between his fingers.

Ten reddish filaments quickly disappeared into the gravel ground. The whole process was silent and left no trace.

Yan Yun slowly walked to the green bamboo, stopped in front of a bamboo, and looked at it with cold eyes.

His action seemed quite unusual and attracted the attention of the young man named Ying and the female cultivator named Xu who were sitting cross-legged nearby.

They both opened their eyes and looked at Yan Yun in surprise.

Yan Yun didn't care about the gazes of the two.

A moment later, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and a golden light spurted out of his mouth, slashing towards the green bamboo with lightning speed.

With a slight "click" sound, the piece of green bamboo as thick as a bowl was split directly in the middle.

"Huh!" Ying was surprised. Fairy Xu also opened her beautiful eyes wide.

But before the two of them could have any impulsive thoughts, a shocking scene happened below.

A dark green liquid suddenly spurted out from the broken half of the bamboo, emitting a strong fishy smell, and the liquid spread to a height of several feet.

At the same time, the ground began to shake violently, accompanied by a painful roar coming from underground.

After trembling, the other green bamboos quickly turned into thick green fleshy tentacles, attacking Yan Yun fiercely like octopus tentacles.

With Yan Yun's ability, how could he let him succeed.

His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot. The next moment, he appeared above the pool, staring coldly at the strange sight of the wildly dancing fleshy whiskers in front of him.

The blue-eyed man and others who were meditating nearby were also awakened. After seeing this scene, they were all terrified and flew up one after another.

Some impatient people even immediately released several flying swords and flying knives to try to cut off these flesh whiskers.

When they saw Yan Yun cut off the monster's tentacles with one sword, they naturally thought it was no big deal.

However, what they didn't expect was that as soon as these flying swords and flying knives touched the flesh whiskers, they made a metal collision sound and were easily bounced away.

When the blue-eyed man and others were preparing to use other treasures to attack the enemy, the gray-white gravel beside the pool suddenly turned black and twisted, turning into purple-black scales.

Only then did they realize that they were standing on a huge ancient beast.

This ancient beast has a round body, with no visible mouth or nose, but it has fleshy whiskers over ten feet long growing on its back.

It snuggled closely beside the pool, and the green bamboos were transformed from the fleshy whiskers on its back.

Yan Yun and others were unaware of the existence of this ancient beast before. It was able to hide from everyone's divine sense and even the detection of the alien spirit disk.

Following Yan Yun's order, the blue-eyed man and others quickly sacrificed various treasures, with bright lights everywhere, and pounced on the giant beast below with great momentum.

Faced with the attack, the ancient beast did not choose to escape. Instead, it waved the whiskers on its back, creating a green light and shadow, forming a barrier to protect itself.

In a fierce duel, the young man named Ying showed extraordinary strength in the face of the tough meat whiskers.

He hummed softly, rubbed his hands together quickly and raised them up, and clusters of red and yellow light appeared in his hands.

After these light spots were ejected, they turned into countless fist-sized bolts of lightning and fire, which struck downwards in an overwhelming manner.

At the same time, Fairy Xu also cast her magic spell, and a silver cold light flashed on her body. She then released countless balls of ice-attributed lightning, which also blasted downwards.

The two powerful attack forces intertwined together to produce amazing results.

After a deafening thunder, a dazzling giant beast of lightning completely submerged most of the battlefield.

The other spectators couldn't help but smile when they saw this scene.

At this critical moment, Yan Yun did not make a move. He just watched his men attack expressionlessly. (End of this chapter)
