Chapter 127 Blackwater Swamp, Reencounter with Su Wanwan

One day later.

The Mysterious Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts, the deepest part of the north.

Chen Qing piloted the Azure Wind Boat, slowly landing at the edge of a boundless swamp.

This swamp is called "Blackwater Swamp". It covers an area of ​​hundreds of miles and is low-lying. It is shrouded in a gray miasma all year round. The swamp is full of bottomless mud pits and underground rivers. Occasionally, a few dead ancient trees will emerge from the silt, like withered hands reaching towards the sky.

Chen Qing put away the Azure Wind Boat and glanced at the gloomy place.

Throughout the day, he traveled north from the Savage Beast Wasteland, killing many low-level demonic beasts along the way and collecting over four hundred points of essence.

The number on the screen had jumped from 26389 to just over 26800.

"The monsters in this Blackwater Swamp are even more numerous than those in the Savage Beast Wasteland."

Chen Qing thought to himself.

After confirming that there were no threats nearby, he took out ten bags of special feed from his storage bag and handed them to Danqing. Danqing skillfully picked up the bags and took off with nine red-crowned cranes. Their white figures quickly disappeared into the miasma.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged on a dry, high ground, closing his eyes to rest.

Half an hour later, Danqing landed first, and as usual, a sense of security was conveyed to him.

"Very good." Chen Qing opened his eyes, stood up, and his gaze swept over the thirty spirit beasts in front of him. "According to the previous plan, we will proceed in three directions. As always—avoid the strong, kill the weak, and remember the location of any special monsters you encounter. Return to the group at sunset."

The thirty spirit beasts nodded in unison and rushed off in three directions.

After the three legions departed, Chen Qing boarded the Azure Wind Boat and, with Qingtian, Danyu, and Yinyue, headed towards the central area of ​​the swamp.

The terrain of the Blackwater Swamp is much more complex than that of the Wild Beast Wasteland.

Silt, underground rivers, and deep pools are everywhere, and you can easily get stuck if you're not careful.

Moreover, due to the dense miasma, the range of spiritual perception was compressed by nearly 10%, covering only about 60 feet. Fortunately, Dan Yu hovered above his head, and his crane eyes were sharp enough to make up for the lack of spiritual perception.

"roar-

A black water python, over ten feet long, suddenly sprang from the mud, opening its blood-red maw to bite Chen Qing; Qingtian reacted extremely quickly, pushing off with both feet on the Qingfeng Boat and slamming a punch into its upper jaw.

"Click!"

The black python's jawbone shattered, and its massive body crashed heavily into the mud, splashing up a large amount of filth.

Silver Moon's figure flashed, and her sharp claws slashed across the python's seven-inch body, causing blood to gush out.

Silvermoon defeated Blackwater, Essence +8

Chen Qing put the python carcass into his storage bag, his brows furrowing slightly.

The monsters here are mostly water-attribute, and most of them hide underwater, making them difficult to defend against when they attack. His spirit beast, Qingtian, is not good at swimming, and if it falls into the mud, it probably won't even be able to stand up. Although Danyu can fly, its white flames are greatly reduced in water. As for Yinyue, wolves are naturally averse to water.

"In the future, it will indeed be necessary to contract a spirit beast that is good at water."

Chen Qing secretly made a mental note of this.

Moreover, the Azure Carp has obtained five skill books over the years, all of which are water-attribute skills, so it really needs a water-attribute spirit beast.

The next day, at noon.

Chen Qing hunted his way through the area and finally arrived at the central region of the Blackwater Swamp.

The miasma here was much thinner, and the view was expansive, with a deep black lake appearing before us; the lake surface was as calm as a mirror, reflecting the hazy sky, exuding an eerie atmosphere.

Just as Chen Qing was about to release his spiritual sense to investigate, the Blood Spirit Token in his arms suddenly felt slightly warm.

"Is anyone there?"

His expression changed slightly, and he flashed behind a boulder, storing Qingtian, Danyu, and Yinyue into his beast-taming space. Then, he used the "Hidden Spirit Technique" to conceal his aura.

The Blood Spirit Token indicated that several cultivators' auras were moving rapidly a hundred feet away—three in front and five behind, with a distance of only a few dozen feet between them.

Chen Qing held his breath and looked up.

Three figures rushed out of the mist. The first one was petite, wearing a blue dress, with her hair in two buns, and her round face was covered in blood.

"Su Wanwan? What's she doing here?"

Chen Qing was slightly taken aback.

This round-faced female cultivator with a bun hairstyle is none other than Chen Qing's youngest senior sister on Beast Taming Peak—Su Wanwan.

Behind Su Wanwan were two young men and women dressed in Su family attire, one at the eighth level of Qi Refining and the other at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Both of them were pale and had injuries on their bodies.

Before Chen Qing could think it through, five more figures rapidly approached from behind.

The five men were all dressed in uniform light blue outfits, with a flame emblem embroidered on their cuffs—the very symbol of the Wen family, another Foundation Establishment family in Qingzhou.

All five were at the late stage of Qi Refining.

The leader was a pale-faced young man whose spiritual energy fluctuations were only slightly weaker than those of Gao Fu and his two companions whom he had encountered in the Lin Yuan Secret Realm. He was probably already at the peak of Qi Refining.

The other four had cold eyes and were clearly not to be trifled with.

Chen Qing's heart sank.

"Is the Wen family pursuing Su Wanwan?"

With a quick thought, he figured out most of the details.

The two Foundation Establishment families in Qingzhou, the Su family and the Wen family, have been enemies for generations, engaging in open and covert struggles for hundreds of years.

As a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak of the Lingyun Sect, Su Wanwan has an extremely low probability of breaking through to the Golden Core stage. However, if she successfully establishes her foundation in the future, she and her spirit beasts will still be able to exert absolute suppression on the Wen family!

Whether the Wen family takes advantage of the chaos in the secret realm to kill someone through intermediaries or does it themselves, they will not let her leave alive.

"These guys are pretty bold."

Chen Qing's gaze turned slightly cold.

He had a good impression of this junior female student.

More importantly, a few years ago when he was breeding carp, Su Wanwan gave him several of the various carp variants that the Su family had been breeding for nearly two hundred years.

That kind of thing is a priceless treasure in a family like the Su family, which specializes in raising spirit fish!

Even though Chen Qing promised not to sell it and only to conduct research out of personal interest, the Su family would never have given away their family's most valuable possession if Su Wanwan hadn't intervened.

This favor is truly genuine!

Chen Qing closed his eyes, and his mind expanded in an instant in a strange way, crossing dozens of miles of swamp and establishing contact with the thirty legion spirit beasts scattered in various places: "All return to the ranks."

"disease."

The next moment, the three figures who were hunting in various parts of the swamp all stopped and converged on Chen Qing's location at top speed.

Su Wanwan and the other two were seriously injured, and the distance between them was closed in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The sinister-looking young man chuckled, his voice unhurried: "Junior Sister Su, why did you come in such a hurry? I just wanted to invite you to the Wen family as a guest."

"Wen Li, shut up!" Su Wanwan said through gritted teeth without turning her head, "Do you think I don't know what your Wen family is up to?"

"So what if I know?" Wen Li said indifferently. "This Blackwater Swamp is located in the northernmost part of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm. Not only does it produce very few spiritual herbs, but it also has many demonic beasts. Even those lowly rogue cultivators are unwilling to come here."

At this point, a sickly smile appeared on Wen Li's pale face: "Hehehe, Junior Sister Su, even if you scream your lungs out, no one will come to save you."

Su Wanwan bit her lip, threw away a spirit stone that had absorbed all its spiritual energy, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.

She and two members of the Su family had been on the run for a day and a night, and their spiritual energy was mostly depleted. However, the five people behind them were like a persistent leech, and they couldn't shake them off no matter what they did.

"Wanwan, you go first!" The Su family cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining suddenly stopped. "I'll hold them off!"

"No!" Su Wanwan's eyes reddened. "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together!"

"Wanwan, don't be stubborn!" The eighth-level cultivator smiled bitterly. "If you live, the Su family still has hope; if you die, the Su family will truly be—"

Before he could finish speaking, a beam of light shot out from behind. The eighth-level cultivator hurriedly dodged, but a deep bloody gash was still left on his shoulder.

Wen Li chuckled and said, "What a deep bond between master and servant. In that case, let's stay together."
