The first rays of dawn pierced the horizon, rising slowly like a pearl spreading with ripples.
At the city gate of Yunmeng City, Mu Fusheng and his companions had already gathered.
Not long after.
Then three men appeared beside him at the same time.
"Are you the juniors who are heading deep into the Cloud Dream Marsh?" one of the middle-aged men, dressed in a long robe and looking somewhat thin, asked casually.
Mu Fusheng and the other three nodded.
The middle-aged man glanced at the four people, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.
"With such a low level of skill, I don't know how they managed to convince the Tower Master and the others. Are they out of their minds?"
Mu Fusheng was about to speak.
One of the white-haired men, with a warm smile, chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, since we've come this far, let's not say anything more."
At this point, the white-haired man looked at Mu Fusheng and the other three, and said with a smile, "Don't mind him, he's Elder Xu Luo of the Formation Master Alliance, and he's always had this bad temper."
He then pointed to the man who had remained silent and said, "He is Yun Ze from the City Lord's Manor, and I am Luo Feng from the Talisman Master Alliance."
After the introduction...
Luo Feng smiled and said, "At that time, we will escort you into the depths of the Cloud Dream Marsh. You probably already know how dangerous the depths are, so be sure to keep a distance of no more than three meters from us."
"Let's take a look around the depths of the swamp, and then we'll prepare to come back."
Mu Fusheng and the other three smiled.
Clearly, Luo Feng thought they were just four ignorant and arrogant juniors who wanted to see what they were made of.
However, none of the four objected. Ye Qiubai smiled and nodded, saying, "Then we'll have to trouble the three seniors."
"Very good." Luo Feng nodded vigorously and took the lead, walking towards the city gate. "Let's go."
The three major powers all valued Mu Fusheng and his companions highly.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Mu Fusheng and the other three would not encounter any accidents.
The three experts they sent were all top-tier fighters.
All three were at the Peak God Emperor Realm.
On the way.
Luo Feng continued to explain the precautions to Mu Fusheng and the other three.
Of course, during the journey to the Cloud Dream Marsh, they were also intercepted by outlaws from Yunmeng City.
However, under the intimidation of three Peak God Emperor Realm...
The opponent had virtually no ability to resist and was killed instantly by the three of them.
After a series of thrilling but safe journeys, we entered the Cloud Dream Marsh.
With the blessing of the Cloud Illusion Pill, they arrived at the depths of the Cloud Dream Marsh.
As the group ventured deeper into the area...
The scenery there has also undergone tremendous changes compared to the first and middle sections.
Before Ye Qiubai and the others.
Thick fog filled the air, and a hazy white mist enveloped the entire swamp.
The density of the illusionary mist was more than five times higher!
Under the influence of the Gravity Magnetic Field, the group was unable to fly and had to circulate their Spiritual Qi, standing on the muddy swamp.
The swamp was slippery and heavy; every step seemed to sink into deep mud, as if pulling one's feet away.
Looking out, the trees in the distance were short and twisted, their branches and leaves stretching out like bones, like ghostly hands appearing and disappearing in the darkness. Among those branches, there was a low hissing sound, as if it were a ghost calling for help from the dead tree trunks, which made people feel scared.
Everything seemed extremely abnormal.
Upon arriving here, the three of Luo Feng lost their usual relaxed expressions and instead became serious and solemn.
"Once we're here, we must proceed with extreme caution. We absolutely cannot act rashly, otherwise even the three of us combined won't be able to save the situation, understand?"
Then, Luo Feng said, "We'll operate in this area for a day, and then leave."
However, a look of surprise still lingered in the eyes of the three of them.
They came here for another purpose.
That was to test how long the Cloud Illusion Pill could last deep within the Cloud Dream Marsh.
As things stand, as long as there are no other threats, three days should be no problem!
From this, Luo Feng and the other two understood why the Tower Master and the City Lord had entrusted them with such a serious mission, to protect Ye Qiubai and his companions at all costs.
It's incredibly useful!
It's enough to change the entire landscape of the Cloud Dream Star Region!
However, Ye Qiubai's next words almost made the three of them's hearts stop beating.
Ye Qiubai took out a map, pointed to the two marked places in red, and said, "Seniors, we want to go to this place."
"No!"
"Impossible!"
"Nonsense!"
The three shouted at the same time.
Yun Ze, the powerful figure from the City Lord's Manor who had been silent until now, said angrily, "Even the three of us, along with the City Lord and the Chief, would have an extremely low chance of survival if we entered this marked red area!"
"Even if you manage to get out, you will ultimately pay a terrible price. What qualifications do you four juniors at the God King Realm have to enter?"
Luo Feng's smile faded, "Your talent is indeed impressive, but that's no excuse for being overly ambitious. Be grounded. Only if you can reach the God Lord Realm will you be qualified to explore these two places!"
Xu Luo crossed his arms and said coldly, "If this is your goal, I think you should just turn back and go home."
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "We have a compelling reason to go to this place, so the three seniors don't need to come in with us."
Luo Feng wanted to say something more.
But at this very moment...
The deathly silence of the swamp was shattered by a sudden and fierce roar!
It was a deep and ferocious sound, like the angry roar of a wild beast, shaking the entire enclosed space of the swamp!
The space trembled, and the roar stirred up towering waves in the muddy, damp soil of the swamp!
It seemed to herald the arrival of some kind of terror!
Ye Qiubai and his three Peak God Emperor Realm, including Luo Feng, were all horrified!
"What is this?!" Fang Qiong exclaimed.
Luo Feng's expression was grim. " The Lord of the Marsh... a being at the God Lord Realm."
Xu Luo's expression was also grave as he said, "But the Lord of the Marsh's roar only happens once every fifty years, and it's only been three years since the last one..."
Yun Ze then took out his jade pendant, preparing to transmit his voice. "This matter must be reported to the City Lord's Manor. I have a bad feeling about it."
But.
Xiao Hei frowned slightly, listening intently to the deep, lingering echo of the voice, and whispered, "But... why does that voice sound so full of pain?"
Filled with pain?
Ye Qiubai and the other two turned to look at Xiao Hei.
"It's like... a distress signal?"
Hearing what Xiao Hei said.
Ye Qiubai and the other two immediately looked startled, as if they had realized something.
Could it be that the Lord of the Marsh is connected to one of Xiao Hei's three souls?
Otherwise, why would only Xiao Hei have this feeling?
