Chapter 434: Devil Snake God and Forest Boa King (I) (2/2)

Their trust came from his strength and attitude. As the captain of this Demon Hunt Squad, Long Haochen always took the lead to face the strongest enemy, and would not spare any cost to come help when the others would need his protection. And then, there was also his outstanding commanding and planning ability. All his plans without fail would get the approval of the team. And even so, he would still take account of his comrades’ suggestion to improve them.

It could be said that Cai’er was gradually attracted to Long Haochen’s outstanding parts, and gained trust towards him along with a kind of impalpable feeling. She felt hurried to recover her memories, thinking, That’s pretty good that he’s my boyfriend, but how is it that there came to be feelings between the two of us?

Lately, while the others were cultivating, Cai’er experienced quite a lot of pain by herself, because all her attempts to regain her memories turned out unsuccessful. Every time she tried to access her memories, it gave her a severe headache. At most, she would get to see some fragments of image in her senses, as if her lost memories were sealed in another world from her physical body, and that what she needed was a bridge to connect these two worlds.

From an original delay of six hours, now only three hours of wait were required before the teleportation ability cools down. After a thorough discussion about their plans, Long Haochen had everyone go into meditative state. Although Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying’er didn’t need to recover spiritual energy, this would at least raise everyone’s mental condition to the peak.

A dim light shone upon the Swamps of Gloom once again, as Long Haochen unfolded the four wings at his back, while placing his right fist on his chest. With another glint of golden light, Chen Ying’er appeared at his side, holding the little pig McDull in her arms.

Chen Ying’er laughed happily, looking around as she caressed the back of the little pig McDull, having him sense the direction of the treasure.

Long Haochen once again pointed his right hand forward, then a green figure appeared behind Chen Ying’er’s back, that was the Tenth Holy Guard. The only mission Long Haochen bestowed him was, to protect Chen Ying’er well.

“Go.” Seeing Chen Ying’er point a direction, Long Haochen spread out a Holy Mantle, covering the three of them inside, while letting out his perception to sense the possibility of danger in their surroundings.

For more safety, Long Haochen’s group stuck close to the ground while flying. In the crucial moment, the Tenth Holy Guard would at anytime be able to carry Chen Ying’er away from danger, and in terms of reaction, that was someone Long Haochen was far from being able to compare with.

Waving on his right hand the Rippling Light with the severely damaged Glorious Holy Shield in his left hand, Long Haochen was standing in the front. Because there was no need to walk in the swamps, his task of opening up the path was a lot more relaxed, as only the larger vines were blocking their path.

After advancing for about one kilometer, Long Haochen suddenly halted his advance, performing a silent gesture in the hand.

Chen Ying’er and the Tenth Holy Guard behind him came to a stop, and Long Haochen’s two eyes were lit with bright light. Turning his head, he gave a look to the Tenth Holy Guard.

The Tenth Holy Guard’s eyes were flickering in light, which was a sign of the connection of his soul with the Eternal Melody. Long Haochen exchanged perception with the holy guards by this means. Although seeing afar was impossible in this poisonous fog, Long Haochen’s perception was ample to make over with it. At least in a limited range, it was quite accurate.

The Tenth Holy Guard nodded to him, before turning into a cold breeze, heading towards the poisonous fog. A green spiritual energy autonomously surrounded his body, protecting him and making him appearing like a green lightning bolt..

The bright light in Long Haochen’s eyes turned even more intense; right now he had no need to use up any spiritual energy, but his consumption of mental force was quite considerable.

A short time later, a green glint charged towards them, arriving before Long Haochen and Chen Ying’er. That was the Tenth Holy Guard, coming back with a corpse, belonging to an approximately three meters tall Devil Snake, whose long tail occupied two third of its size.

Its throat was sliced, revealing its bone. This wound was visibly fatal.

Having sensed its presence beforehand, Long Haochen commanded the Tenth Holy Guard to dispose of it. Given his ability, accomplishing that without any trace was no difficult feat to him, and would be even more effective than Long Haochen trying to kill him.

“It seems that my judgement wasn’t mistaken. McDull’s perception is indeed quite accurate. In these Swamps of Gloom should exist some kind of treasure, which should be the target of the Devil Snake Demon God Andromalius. And we are getting closer to that target.” Saying that, Long Haochen showed the Tenth Holy Guard a thumbs up.

Chen Ying’er asked, “Then what should be done?”

Letting out a smile, Long Haochen replied, “We should of course go for the safe way, by exterminating his underlings on the way while advancing. Tenth Holy Guard, we will be bothering you.”

The flame in the eyes of the Tenth Holy Guard pulsed up more violently, as if letting out some pride.

Long Haochen found a rather bulky vine, nodded to Chen Ying’er after confirming safety, and then summoned the Twelfth Holy Guard to stand in guard. He was sitting cross-legged near the vines, as the golden glint in his eye turn into a deeper color, giving a nod to the Tenth Holy Guard.
