Following the three young men, Su Chen and the others made their way deeper into the swamp forest. Before long, they arrived beside a lake.
The water was entirely black, making it impossible to see what creatures lay within. Perhaps no living thing could survive in it at all.
Black death energy rose from the lake's surface. The moment they arrived, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others felt deeply uncomfortable.
"Hmph!"
The young men curled their lips, sneering at the human deities beside Su Chen. Then light burst from their bodies, revealing their beast forms. They were three pangolin divine beasts.
Unlike ordinary pangolins, they had golden scales and bodies three meters long. Anyone who knew no better might have mistaken them for dinosaurs!
After revealing their true forms, the three pangolin divine beasts plunged headfirst into Death Lake without hesitation.
Su Chen waved his hand, light flaring around him. He enveloped Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo in divine power and leaped into Death Lake before him. Qian Renxue and the others followed close behind.
As they descended, the death energy around them grew denser and denser. Eventually, it formed a thick fog in which they could not even see their own outstretched hands. Keeping a lock on the three pangolin divine beasts with his spiritual power, Su Chen continued to follow them closely.
But as they pressed onward, the surrounding death energy only grew thicker. In the end, even Yue Guan and Chrysanthemum Douluo, protected by divine power, turned pale.
Su Chen had a feeling that if he withdrew his divine power, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, who held no divine positions, would be corroded by the death energy here. Before long, their lives would be extinguished.
A Titled Douluo was equivalent to a Divine Official in the Divine Realm.
