Daley, who was waiting in the square, saw Madam Mary walking over with two handsome young men.
"Are you our guide?"
Hank looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
"Yes, sir."
Daley bowed to the young man.
"This is a simple task.”
"Mr. Daley is too polite."
Madam Mary continued.
"From the things you requested to prepare, it's obvious that he's an experienced veteran.”
"Furen praises you."
Daley bent down in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Today, I plan to bring you to the nearby swamp area. What do you think?”
"Mole Grass."
Hank interrupted excitedly.
"Mr. Daley wants to use knockout powder?"
"Yes, Sir is indeed wise."
"You flatter me."
said Hank, smiling happily.
" That's because of Madam Mary's hint and the map that Sir gave me. That's why I roughly know what to do. However, there should be other ways. I wonder if you can reveal them to me?”
"In conclusion, if you want to catch a blue sable for fun, I will take you to a place with a blue sable. Find all the entrances and seal them until there are only two. Smoke one of the entrances and then block the other with a net.”
"It's indeed a good idea, but capturing them like this isn't our goal.”
"Yes, and then it's the method that you thought of, sir. This method was suitable for warriors who wanted to cultivate and gain knowledge. On this basis, I can add some unnecessary burdens to increase the difficulty for you.”
"Oh?" Hank turned to look at Madam Mary.
Madam Mary shook her head slightly.
"This is your first time here. First, you have to familiarize yourself with the situation. Take your time.”
"Alright."
Hank turned around and looked at Daley.
"As for the third type, it is similar to the training of assassins. To put it simply, it was to stab the Blue Ferret's leg with a needle smeared with anesthetic through various methods, such as traps, spray pipes, and so on. Of course, the premise was that the attack must hit the target in one shot. If it did not hit, it would be considered a failure.”
"Alright."
Madam Mary interrupted Daley.
"Let's get ready to set off. There were too many methods to explain in a short time. Today's mission is not difficult, so I've prepared some weights for you. Your hands and feet must help the iron sand bag.”
The two young men obediently tied up the sandbags.
After half an hour of trekking, the four of them arrived at the edge of the swamp.
"Let me greet the two of you first."
Daley said to the two young men who were eager to try after everyone had put on their leather boots.
"Mole Grass isn't rare. It's everywhere in the swamp. There's one over there, but it's meaningless for us to get that one. Today, we are going to enter the center of the swamp to collect.”
Daley took out an oilpaper map and drew a line on it.
"This is the route we will take today. This is the starting point, which is where we are. The end point is here, about 15 kilometers. In this area, the mud would not exceed the height of the big toe, but it would not be lower than the knee either. Now, Madam, please make your request."
"What else do you think you need?"
Madam Mary didn't make any requests first. Instead, she asked about the two young men.
"In this swamp, the most common creatures are poisonous grass, leeches, poisonous insects, snakes, and lizard-type monsters. Other creatures are not a threat.”
Alan thought for a moment and replied.
"Poisonous grass won't move, just be careful to avoid it. The boots are obviously meant to guard against leeches, and poisonous snakes and lizards should be the opponents of this trial. I think what we need is insect repellent and antidote.”
Madam Mary distributed the three bottles of potion to the three of them.
"This is an insect repellent. The effective time of sprinkling it on the body is five hours. I have the antidote for the snake venom, and the guide has one too. The two of you will open up a path. You must kill the poisonous snake in one hit and slap it away. You must send the lizard flying in one hit.”
"Alright."
Hank answered excitedly.
"The vipers are very tenacious. Even if they are cut into two, they won't die for a while. They will still attack, so we have to slap them away. The lizards have strong defense and are not small. The best thing to do is to send them flying and let them feel our strength and run away.”
"Not bad."
Madam Mary nodded approvingly.
"What do you think of them?"
Half an hour after entering the swamp, Madam Mary, who was following the two excited young men from afar, asked the guide beside her as she watched them slash the poisonous snakes with their swords and send the lizards flying with their fists.
"Your basics are very solid. However, there were many unnecessary actions. They were full of energy now, so they couldn't feel it for the time being. However, if they continued to consume their energy like this, they wouldn't be able to walk out of the swamp within five hours.”
Daley answered honestly.
"Yes, he is a young man after all.”
Madam Mary sighed.
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to demonstrate it later.”
"Please don't stand on ceremony. That's my job.”
"So tired."
Hank wiped his sweat with his arm.
Walking in the swamp was obviously different from walking on land. The knee-deep mud felt like it had increased the weight of the sand bag by ten times. Now, it took a lot of effort to pull up his feet every time. Moreover, he had to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times, which consumed his energy. His arm was already starting to become unstable, and his speed was getting slower and slower. If this continued, he definitely wouldn't be able to complete the mission in five hours. Although Madam Mary definitely had extra insect repellent, it would be completely meaningless to use a second bottle.
"Alright, you guys rest for a while."
Madam Mary, who had caught up, ordered the two of them.
"Phew, it's fine. I'm fine."
Hank took a deep breath and didn't want to give up.
"Young Master, you must rest. Otherwise, you will become a burden to the team.”
Madam Mary said bluntly.
"Moreover, your understanding of the cultivation here is a little wrong.”
"Mistakes?"
Hank was puzzled.
"Yes, I am. Our goal is to kill the enemy and send them flying, but not to act recklessly like Young Master. Now, please follow behind and rest for a while. Mr. Daley, please demonstrate for them.”
"Alright, please follow."
Daley quickly overtook the three of them and walked alone in front.
With a swoosh, a poisonous snake as thick as an arm saw that its territory had been invaded by humans. It angrily rushed over and opened its mouth to bite Daley.
Daley turned his wrist, and the tip of his sword pointed at the path that the viper had to pass through. The viper that was charging at him was cut open in the blink of an eye, as if it had rushed into the blade of an enemy's sword. Daley flicked his wrist again, and the dying viper flew over the heads of the few of them along the trajectory he had charged over.
After a while, a crocodile rushed over. Daley turned his body slightly and squatted down. He held the crocodile's jaw with one hand and pushed it up. Then, he quickly held the crocodile's abdomen with his other hand and pushed it in the direction that the crocodile was charging forward. The poor crocodile felt as if it had grown wings and was gliding in the air. With a thud, it landed heavily in the swamp. It felt dizzy and couldn't differentiate between north, south, east, and west.
When it finally came back to its senses, the person who had sent it flying had already gone far away. The poor guy could only helplessly watch the hateful guys leave.
