Chapter 279: Lost Swamp Of Certain Death (2/2)
Taking in a deep breath, Pang Qu slowly spoke, ”Because this Rogue Cultivator 2705 is from Lost Continent, and Gu Shaoyi fought with him at the Lost Continent. Based on what Gu Shaoyi said after returning, Rogue Cultivator 2705’s strength greatly exceeded his own, and he was defeated by pure ability, not with any ploys or schemes.”
”What? Rogue Cultivator 2705 is from Lost Continent?” Rong He and Xiong Xingteng exclaimed at the same time.
A place like Lost Continent that was backwards in cultivation culture could actually produce an expert like Rogue Cultivator 2705? They had always been living in Zhen Mo Continent, so they naturally knew what it meant to be rank 1 on Mortal Board. Not only Mortal Board rank 1, but as long as one entered the top 100 of the Mortal King Board, one would be an expert among the experts.
Nodding his head, Pang Qi spoke, ”Rogue Cultivator 2705 was not among those genius cultivators that came to Zhem Mo Continent. Since he is so strong, why wouldn’t he come here? I think that to him, the cultivation opportunities at Lost Continent is not worse than on Zhen Mo Continent. Even Mortal Board’s rank 1 also stayed to cultivate on Lost Continent, so why can’t we go over?”
A moment later, Long Qi saw Xiong Xingteng and Rong He with shocked expressions on their face, then he continued speaking, ”Moreover, I have a map with the route to Lost Continent through the Lost Sky Ruins. As long as we do not perish in the Lost Sky Ruins, we will reach the Lost Continent in at most six months’ time.”
”Brother Qi, even if we have that route, isn’t it still very difficult for us to survive the journey to Lost Continent?” Xiong Xingteng was a little touched, but still kept his cool.
Pang Qi gave a sad smile, ”Why wouldn’t I know that us three going to the Lost Continent means almost certain death? But do we have any choice? I believe that sometime soon, the Jing Clan’s people will manage to find us here, and when that time comes we’ll still die in the Lost Sky Ruins. With the map of the safe route, we can avoid most of the dangers, and once we reach the edge of the Lost Swamp and cross it, we’ll be half a step into the Lost Continent already.”
”Brother Qi, I’ve heard of the Lost Swamp before. Cultivators that enter it basically all get swallowed up by the swamp without exception.” Rong He reported worriedly.
Just as Pang Qi was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, ”Let’s leave quickly, the Jing Clan has found us.”
Xiong Xingteng stood up, ”Brother Qi, let’s go to the Lost Sky Ruins then. Since Lost Continent could produce a Rogue Cultivator 2705, who knows, maybe it can produce a second one. Just as brother Qi mentioned just now, as long as we survive, we’ll kill our way back one day.”
…
”Boom!” Dense spiritual energy broke through the shackles again after countless rounds of spiritual energy circulation. If not for the fact that he couldn’t stand up in the swamp, Mo Wuji wanted to stand there and to give a loud roar.
Since he had sunk into the swamp, Mo Wuji had been cultivating non-stop. He didn’t know if five or six months had passed. Now, he finally broke through from Yuan Dan Stage Level 11 to Level 12.
It was not known how longer it would take for him to exit the swamp, but Mo Wuji did not care about that at the moment. Perhaps one day, he would break through from Yuan Dan Stage Level 12 to True Lake Stage in the swamp.
”Hmm, what’s that in the swamp?” A young girl suddenly said as she looked into the Lost Swamp.
Beside this girl, there was also a beautiful young woman and a middle aged man. Both of them had an aura about them, and it was apparent that they were rather strong.
”Someone’s coming.” The middle aged man did not bother about the swamp, but looked at the desert behind him.
The young girl that was initially shocked also turned her gaze away, seeing two men and one woman speeding towards them.
”Brother Qi, slow down, it looks like there’s people up ahead.” The three people that approached them were Pang Qi, Xiong Xingteng and Rong He that left Fallen Ruins two months ago.
Pang Qi’s foresight was the best, and he had the most experience, so with one glance, he knew that the three standing at the edge of the Lost Swamp were not ordinary people.
He quickly bowed respectfully at the young woman and middle aged man, ”Rogue cultivator Pang Qi greets both elders. Please forgive me for unknowingly charging at elder.”
As Pang Qi bowed, the other two behind him followed suit.
”What about me? Why don’t you greet me?” Seeing that Pang Qi did not greet her, the young girl immediately became unhappy.
”Zi Han don’t spout nonsense.” The young woman chided the young girl, then turning to Pang Qi’s trio, ”Are the few of you going to enter the Lost Swamp? Do you know that it’s certain death for those that enter it, and there’s no life in there…”
To have reached this location, it was obvious that they were heading for the Lost Swamp.
The young girl named Zi Han spoke when he heard the words ”certain death”, ”Auntie, who says it’s certain death and that there’s no life in it. I just saw…”
Before she could finish her sentence, everyone stared at the edge of the Lost Swamp, where a man covered with mud, leaving only his two bright eyes exposed, stood there, obviously having just emerged from the swamp.
