That sharp roar came from far away, which included the howl of Little Du along with the bellow of a strange beast.
Junior Leopard knew that Little Du must have met a strong enemy, so without thinking, he shot out and went straight into the depths of the prairie.
…
The guide was thrown violently down on the ground, but did not seem frightened. Due only to the pain caused by the fall, the muscles in his face twitched slightly. He exclaimed something, looking very excited.
What the guide spoke was a Northern Yuan dialect, but no one knew which tribe it belonged to. Although there were people who were proficient in the language of Northern Yuan, they were also very confused. However, Wendu understood what he had said, and instantly, his face went pale.
”Chama, Black Demon Chama! Damn it, it's Black Demon Chama!” Wendu screamed, jumping up and trying to run.
”Hey, what was he talking about?”
Before he could run two steps, Zhu Ba caught him by the collar.
”It's Chama, Black Demon Chama. This damn guy took us to the lair of Black Demon Chama!”
Wendu exclaimed, looking extremely alarmed.
”What's Black Demon Chama?” Jiang Xiao slightly frowned and went over to Wendu.
”Black Demon Chama is one of the most powerful devils on the prairie!” Wendu quivered.
Jiang Xiao burst into laughter. ”The most powerful devil on the prairie? How come we have never heard of it?” ”Because Chama's lair has always been on the Blacktail Plain and it never comes out of the Blacktail Plain. Besides, the area of the Blacktail Plain is very large. So, few Northern Yuan men even know about the existence of Chama. I occasionally heard about it from a friend in the Hengshan tribe!”
”I didn't expect you to have a lot of friends!” Having heard what he just said was from a friend, Jiang Xiao joked.
”Your Excellency has penetrating judgment. My friend was a great nobleman in the Hengshan tribe, so he knows a lot of secrets. He is a man who couldn't keep a secret after drinking, so he told me a lot of things.” Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, pointing at the guide. ”He, he must be a great nobleman from the Blackwolf tribe. Otherwise, he wouldn't know the secret of Chama!”
”Bah!” That guide spat severely at Wendu, and then mumbled something in his dialect. The others, of course, did not understand it, but Wendu understood, and his expression became uglier.
”Don't worry about what he says. Just tell us what Chama is!”
”I don't know. I only know that Chama has been the devil for thousands of years in the Hengshan and the Blackwolf tribes!” Wendu helplessly answered, ”It's hidden in the depths of the Blacktail Plain, and though it has unparalleled power, it never comes out of the Blacktail Plain!”
”Then what did he say?”
”He, he just said that this is the day for Black Demon Chama to come out to look for food. And all of us will be its food!” Wendu replied with a pale face.
”It's all useless information!” Jiang Xiao said, dissatisfied. Then he glanced back at the guide, who had closed his mouth and smiled triumphantly, as if he were not a prisoner, but a victor.
”You damned guy!” Tie Kongyi was blue in the face, then fiercely kicked the guide to the ground. ”You fucking fooled me!”
He was in a bad mood. He had wanted to take this opportunity to get along well with Junior Leopard so that this expert could help him in the future. Unexpectedly, such an incident happened before they even arrived at the fief. Furthermore, the incident was created by his guide. How could he not be angry?
”Your Excellency Tie, stop doing this meaningless thing. Wait until His Excellency comes back!” Jiang Xiao said softly and looked around, ”Everyone, stay where you are. Now that there are swamps around, don't run away. Don't worry, we'll be fine with His Excellency!” Jiang Xiao's words reassured Junior Leopard's team. After all, they had seen how Junior Leopard brought them across the Dragon-pressing River. If necessary, he could do it again.
Tie Kongyi's men were not so calm and became a little disordered. Suddenly, there was a cry from the crowd.
”Oh, no! Somebody's stuck in the mud!”
”Damn it! We can't pull him up!”
”His head has been submerged. Be careful! No...! Oops!”

A flurry of screams followed. By the time Tie Kongyi and the others arrived, four men had fallen into the swamp—two of them had been completely buried in the mud, and two others had been buried up to their chests.
Fortunately, there were a lot of people in this group who knew martial arts, and they promptly rescued the two men who were not completely buried in the mud. Otherwise, four people would have died.
”From now on, everyone should stay put. If you get stuck in the swamp, no one will save you!” Tie Kongyi shouted angrily, and turned to teach the guide.
