Ning's group rode on their three black beasts, charging out of the forest.
"Look." Uncle Dala pointed ahead." Eastmount Marsh is up ahead.”
"Eastmount Marsh."
Ning looked towards the distance.
He saw the boundless Great Marsh in the distance. It was vast and beautiful under the spring sun. In fact, he could even see some birds pouncing on the fish with their mouths. He could also see some huge aquatic creatures swaying their tails in the lush water plants. Occasionally, a huge head would pop out. This was the world of demons!
"Eastmount Marsh." "We've finally arrived!"”
Eastmount Marsh was located between the Ji clan and the Ironwood clan. The Ironwood clan was a hegemon power that was on par with the Ji clan, but they were enemies with the Ji clan!
Eastmount Marsh was a thousand kilometers wide. It was comparable to the size of a province in his previous life. Such a large swamp…naturally, there were quite a few demons gathered there. The Ji clan alone knew of twelve demons!
Ever since he had left the West Prefecture City, Ning had wanted to go and fight against early Xiantian Diremonsters. However, Diremonsters were hidden in the remote mountains; how could they be so easy to find? Previously, he had found a place to hide, but after waiting for nearly a month, he hadn't been able to find it. In a fit of rage, Ning immediately changed his route and headed straight for Eastmount Marsh!
"There are many monsters in Eastmount Marsh, and most of them are early Xiantian lifeforms. I refuse to believe that I won't be able to run into one.”Ning was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of tigers, but he didn't dare to be careless. Many members of the Ji clan had died in Eastmount Marsh. For example, his grandfather had died in Eastmount Marsh!
……
"Mowu, Autumn Leaf." Ning leapt down from the black beast and instructed,"Eastmount Marsh is far too dangerous. Danger lurks everywhere. These black beasts are useless in Eastmount Marsh. The two of you, take these three black beasts and go to the Metalstone Tribe. Wait for me at the Metalstone Tribe!"
Mowu and Autumn Leaf exchanged a glance, then could only respectfully agree."Yes, Young Master."
"Da." Ning looked at the tall, tanned man."Come with me to the Great Marsh. Let me familiarize myself with some of the main areas. After that, I'll return with you to the Metalstone Tribe to rest.”
"Yes, Young Master." Uncle Dala replied respectfully.
"Let's go."
Ning walked straight ahead, with the hatchet-wielding Uncle Dala hurriedly following behind him. Autumn Leaf and Mowu watched as their young master headed towards the distant Eastmount Marsh. Although they were nervous, they couldn't do anything about it. One of them was here to serve his young master, while the other was here to impart his rich experience in the forest to his young master. As for power, they were far inferior to Ning.
The vast lake was beautiful and colorful.
"There are also soil, water, and grass in the Great Marsh.”Uncle Dala smiled and said," There are even some small mountain forests. Of course, there are even more swamps that sink with a single step…There are also the most vast and unfathomable lakes. The roads in the Great Marsh were the hardest to walk on. If one was not careful, they might step into the swamp.”
Ning followed by his side.
"Our Metalstone Tribe has lived in the forest next to the Great Swamp for hundreds of years. We often come here to fish, so we know very well which roads we can and cannot take in the Great Swamp.”Uncle Dala was very confident.
Pa! Pa!
Trampling through the mud, Ning followed the tribesman into Eastmount Marsh.
"Take a look." "This is a map of Eastmount Marsh. Take me to these circled areas."”
"Ah!" Uncle Dala jumped in fright when he saw this." Th-these are all places where great demons lurk. They are the most dangerous places, places that we never dare to approach.”
"You don't have to get close." Ning shook his head."Just bring me there and tell me where it is from afar.”
Uncle Dala wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded." Alright, I'll bring Young Master over."
******
Eastmount Marsh was simply too vast, and it was truly very slow to travel on foot. In addition, Ning had been going to many places, and the detours he had taken had covered thousands of kilometers. Fortunately, Uncle Dala, who was familiar with the many hidden paths, was able to guide him through the vast swamp with ease.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
Ning carried his food and drink within his dimensional crystals, as well as roasted some monster meat to eat. He also found a random mound or bush to sleep in. Ning wasn't in a hurry to provoke the Diremonsters who were hiding in the shadows. He just needed to confirm their location first. From now on, he would be able to travel by himself. With his 'one with the world' footwork, he would be able to travel on water. A day would be enough for him to travel more than a thousand kilometers.
"That is the last land." Uncle Dala pointed into the distance. In the distance, lush aquatic plants that were about three meters tall rippled with the wind." In that place with the most lush aquatic plants, a great demon lurked there. I heard that it was a very, very large rhinoceros, a water rhinoceros that was like a small mountain.”
"Alright, let's go back. When we return to the Metalstone Tribe, I'll definitely give you a great reward.”Ning said.
"Young Master has given me enough." Uncle Dala said hurriedly.
This seemingly delicate and pretty youth was truly terrifying. In the past month or so, he had encountered quite a number of attacks from demonic beasts in Eastmount Marsh. However, those demonic beasts were all killed by a single sword strike from this youth! Ning didn't really care about the corpses of the monsters, but Uncle Dala felt a great heartache for them. These were all monster meat, and selling them would make the tribe much better off. He couldn't take them away by himself; he could only cut off some of the most important parts and take them away.
"Hmm?" Ning and Uncle Dala suddenly turned to stare into the distance.
On a mound in the distance, there were many figures.
In the depths of the Great Marsh, there were muddy lands, swamps, mountains, and even a tall mountain. That tall mountain was called East Mountain, so this great swamp was called East Mountain Marsh.
There were probably several hundred figures gathered on the distant mound next to the lake. Suddenly, ten figures flew over, flying towards Ning and Uncle Dala.
"What happened?" Ning frowned as he watched.
"Hurry up and leave." Uncle Dala was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to escape.
Shua!
Among the ten people running over, there was one wearing azure armor. He rushed over with a whistling sound. His speed was shocking, and he directly blocked Uncle Dala's escape path.
"You two." The azure-armored man swept Ning with a cold glance, his gaze pausing momentarily on the exquisitely tailored beast fur clothing Ning was wearing.”
"What do you want us to do?”Uncle Dala immediately bowed and asked respectfully when he saw the other party's armor.
The other nine people also came over, all wearing armor.
"Hurry up, I told you to come with us, so come with us. Otherwise, die here!" These armored guards all had cold expressions as they held their weapons. Clearly, they were well-trained.
Uncle Dala looked towards Ning.
"Let's go take a look first." Ning spoke very calmly. These guards were all extraordinary, but to him, they were nothing more than clay chickens and clay dogs…but why did these guards want to take him away? If there wasn't a need, Ning wouldn't casually start a massacre.
"Let's go."
"Hurry up."
Under the watchful gazes of the ten armored guards, Ning and Uncle Dala walked towards the mound.
There were some weeds on the mound, and at this moment, there were hundreds of people gathered there. A large number of people were lying there with their hands and feet bound, and there were about a hundred armored guards standing around. In the center was a stone chair, and on the stone chair sat a burly man. The man was about three meters tall, wearing thick armor, and his eyes were extremely domineering.
Ning stared in surprise at the ten-meter-tall, heavily armored man seated in the middle. The 'demon stone' he was carrying in his robes was beginning to heat up. Clearly, it had sensed the demonic qi. Ning could faintly sense that the aura of the tall, heavily armored man, who was surrounded by the guards, was extraordinary.
"There's a greater demon." Ning hurriedly swept his gaze over them.
There were people around him, and those who could transform into human form were undoubtedly great demons!
He had brought many items with him this time, and the demon stone was one of them. The demon stone…was a special natural stone that would glow and heat up once it sensed demon qi. Cities that were even larger than West Prefecture City would have Demon Revealing Mirrors hanging at the city gates. The Demon Revealing Mirror was made of Fey Stones. As long as demons approached, the Demon Revealing Mirror would emit light.
Humans had human qi, and demons naturally had demonic qi. The qi here was actually the aura of life.
"Da!"
"Uncle Dala!"
Suddenly, a few shouts sounded.
Uncle Dala, who had been walking alongside Ning, hurriedly turned his head to look. He saw ten-some of the bound people lying there, shouting. This caused Uncle Dala to reveal a look of anxiety."Black Tiger, why are you tied up here?”Those people were all from the same tribe as him.
"Ada, why are you here? That giant is a great demon. It will eat us one by one.”One of the bound tribesmen shouted anxiously.
"Diremonster?" Uncle Dala was shocked.
Ning stared at the distant, heavily armored man seated in the middle, surrounded by a group of armored guards. Upon closer inspection, one would be able to see that there was still blood at the side of the man's mouth. The man was still chewing in satisfaction. This caused Ning to feel a surge of killing intent in his heart."So the Diremonster I sensed was him! There were twelve demons in the Eastern Mountain Great Swamp, and it was unknown which one it was.”
"Shut up." An armored guard walked over and kicked the people who were tied up." All of you shut up."”
"You want me to shut up?”
"You call yourself a Blue Guard of the Ironwood clan? You've truly disgraced your Ironwood clan!”
"Kick us, kick us to death."
The people who were kicked shouted crazily.
"Stop!" The heavily armored giant sitting on the wide stone chair, however, boomed in a deep voice that sounded like the horn of a bull blowing." If you kick me to death, I'll eat you.”
The armored guard looked at the heavily armored man and could only retreat unwillingly.
"Aquatic Rhino King!" The bald leader of the Green Guards shouted," We've already helped you capture more than five hundred people. Our brothers have scattered to capture them, and we've already done our best. If you return our young master to us, our Ironwood clan will treat this matter as if it never happened. Otherwise, if things really turn ugly, Aquatic Rhino King…you should know that you cannot withstand the wrath of our Ironwood clan.”
The distant Ning, who was being watched by the two Blue Guards, had his eyes light up.
Aquatic Rhino King?
Of the twelve Diremonsters of the Eastern Mountain Marsh, only one of them was an Aquatic Rhinoceros, an early Xiantian Diremonster!
"Early Xiantian lifeform?" Ning's eyes were filled with a hint of killing intent."I've been searching for Diremonsters of this level of power for a very, very long time. I've really worn out my iron shoes to look for them, but I found them without any effort!"”
