After marrying his master's wife, he reached the peak of his life

Chapter 38: The Soul-Losing Swamp (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

About a quarter of an hour later, Lu Chengfeng walked out with the warm farewell of the deacon of the General Affairs Hall. Without wasting any more time, he quickly headed towards the Misty Swamp.

"I have done everything I can. Whether I can succeed next depends on God's will."

If the beast tide had not yet broken out, he could still use other methods to please the woman and succeed, but in this situation, there was no way he could escape.

When we arrived at the entrance of the Bewildering Swamp, we suddenly saw an extremely tall boulder. There seemed to be bloodstains on the stone, with dark red marks all over it. There was even a gap at the top, as if it was cut open by a divine weapon.

This is the famous Dragon-Breaking Stone.

It is said that there is an underground river in Kunlongyuan of the Five Inner Peaks that leads directly to the Mihun Swamp.

The underground river was filled with poisonous energy, and after years of erosion, countless poisonous insects, snakes and ants had grown into this swamp. The air was also filled with poisonous miasma that was intoxicating and extremely dangerous.

Normally, Kunlongyuan is suppressed by the Five Peaks, but once Kunlongyuan riots, countless monsters will rush out along the dark river and appear in the Mihun Swamp.

This bewildering swamp is surrounded by mountains on all sides and originally had no exit. It is said that thousands of years ago, a poisonous dragon emerged from an underground river, spewing out terrible venom, corroding a long and narrow passage in the mountain. It then poked its head out of the passage, trying to escape from the swamp.

At the critical moment, the current head of Yun Cang used the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword to kill the dragon with one sword. Not only did he cut off the dragon's head, but he also directly split the dilapidated mountain that had been corroded by the venom.

And this Dragon-Breaking Stone is the place where the poisonous dragon’s head was cut off!
The legends from thousands of years ago were either true or false, and no one knew whether there were really dragons in this world. However, the terrifying roars of beasts in the Kunlong Abyss and the tides of beasts that appeared every once in a while made many disciples believe that there was a real dragon suppressed under the Kunlong Abyss.

When Lu Chengfeng arrived, the place was already bustling with people. After many true disciples registered at the Broken Dragon Stone, they were given a set of black iron armor and a sky-high thunder. Then, after changing into their armor, they were organized into teams to enter the swamp.

"This black iron armor must be worn properly. It has a special Phoenix Blood Gold Velvet lining. It can quickly stop bleeding when injured and can also prevent erosion by the poisonous miasma in the swamp."

Perhaps he recognized Lu Chengfeng, or perhaps he saw his name in the booklet, the disciple who was distributing the supplies gave him a few special instructions.

"The sky-high thunder is used when you are in danger. Use your inner strength to activate it and throw it toward the sky. It will become a distress signal that can be clearly seen within a radius of dozens of miles."

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother." Lu Chengfeng received the things, thanked him, and went to the side to put on armor.

At this time, a burly, bald man with a beard greeted him, "Junior Brother Lu, we've been waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chengfeng walked over and saw four people, including the bald man, looking at him.

"My name is Tan Xiong, and I'm a disciple of Huanglong Peak." The bald man took the initiative to speak, "When we, the true disciples, go on missions, most of the time we work together as a group of five disciples from the five peaks."

"The three people next to them are Lu Lingxi from Qingyun Peak, Xu Changge from Baihong Peak, and Duan Li from Chixiao Peak."

Lu Chengfeng greeted each of them one by one, calling them senior brothers and sisters. He was the youngest among everyone present.

Lu Lingxi was a pretty girl of about 27 or 28 years old. She was dressed in a long green cloth robe, with a slender figure and long legs. She was wearing black armor that completely concealed her beautiful curves, and her beautiful hair, which was tied up in two rings, was also covered by the iron crown.

The swamp was filled with poisonous miasma and poisonous insects. Long hair would only be a burden at a critical moment, so before entering the swamp, they would tie their hair up completely with an iron crown to facilitate movement.

Xu Changge from Baihong Peak and Duan Li from Chixiao Peak were easy to distinguish. One wore a white robe with a sword on his waist and a folding fan in his hand, while the other wore a bright red brocade robe and had a handsome face, but his eyebrows were red.

"Junior brother, I have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a great honor to finally meet you today." Xu Changge said with a smile: "Junior brother, I admire your methods very much. If I have free time in the future, I will ask you for advice." Lu Chengfeng only saw his winking eyes and immediately understood that this guy was talking about him marrying his master's wife. His face darkened slightly and he quickly changed the subject: "My fellow brothers and sisters, this is my first time participating in the beast tide. I really don't have any experience. If there are any obstacles, please give me more guidance."

The somewhat taciturn Duan Li only said: "Draw your sword and kill them. Except for fellow disciples, everyone else is an enemy."

Tan Xiong was a burly man with a tough temperament, but he seemed extremely cautious in what he said and did. "Junior brother, you have just entered the Inner Peak not long ago, and I don't think you have ever trained in the Soul-Losing Swamp. The environment here is complex, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many poisonous creatures."

"I'm thinking that the five of us should get familiar with each other first at the periphery, develop some tacit understanding and cooperation, and then move inward when the time is right. What do you think?"

Lu Lingxi said: "Senior Brother Tan's words are the most reliable."

Xu Changge also said: "That's good."

Duan Li didn't say anything, but he didn't refuse either.

Tan Xiong said, "Then it's settled. I'm the oldest among the five of us, and my swordsmanship has reached the eighteenth level. After we enter the swamp, I will be the leader temporarily. Do you have any objections?"

Xu Changge smiled and said, "Senior Brother is Violent Bear, one of the Seven Heroes of the sect. Even though we have some skills, how can we compete with him? When entering the swamp, we must take care of him first."

"I only admire my senior brother." Lu Lingxi had a rather cold personality and spoke in a light tone, but she had some respect for Tan Xiong.

Duan Li snorted coldly, "Don't be complacent. One day I will surpass you. For now, I will let you make the decision."

Lu Chengfeng also said: "I naturally have no objection, but I hope you can give me more advice, senior brother."

The five people reached a consensus. Lu Chengfeng also changed into the black armor, inserted the Chongtianlei into the bag on his waist, held the sword in his left hand, and entered the swamp with everyone else.

After walking a short distance, we saw a gray mist in the air, the ground was a little damp, and the soil was soft.

Lu Chengfeng looked around and found that the trees in the swamp were very tall. Many trunks were wrapped with thin vines. There was a lot of green moss growing at the roots of the big trees, some of which were glowing blue, and it was obvious that they were highly poisonous.

In addition, there are more and more poisonous creatures such as centipedes, scorpions, and snakes. The air is hot and humid, and there are no birds to be seen.

Only occasionally some animal shadows flashed through the woods. They were jackals that sensed the presence of human beings and roamed back and forth around.

"Junior brother, demon beasts are different from ordinary wild beasts. They are intelligent, extremely cunning, and can cast magic. They are very difficult to deal with."

"The demon beasts are born different. You will know it once you see them. More importantly, they can drive wild beasts to attack. The so-called beast tide comes from this."

"The root of the problem lies with those monsters!"

Tan Xiong held a copper stick in his hand and led the way. Lu Chengfeng followed behind him on the left, Lu Lingxi on the right, and Xu Changge and Duan Li were at the rear.

As they entered the swamp, everyone's expressions became cautious and they carefully watched the movements around them.
