It was the beginning of summer and the vegetation in the swamp was lush and leafy. The vegetation coverage rate was very high, and the originally pure water bottom became a little dark due to the sedimentation of rotten leaves and branches.

Meng Chun observed for about a quarter of an hour, and Feng Qian stopped on a tree not far away, combing his hair with his pointed beak.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the distance of the swamp. Meng Chun immediately used his spiritual power to find a tree to stand on and carefully identify the direction from which the sound came.

Feng Qian followed closely behind Meng Chun, quietly watching the show.

Meng Chun kept changing his footsteps following the sound. The originally intermittent sound became clearer as he got closer.

He held the sword tightly in his hand, fearing that something would attack him by surprise. He restrained his breath and stared intently at the swamp a few meters away from the tree. The sound came from here!

Suddenly, a group of gigantic moth monsters destroyed the vegetation in the swamp from the roots.

Oh no! We've been discovered by the E-demon!

Meng Chun almost instantly swung his sword at the group of E monsters attacking him!

Hundreds of gray giant moth monsters besieged Meng Chun. The sword moves in his hand kept changing. Fortunately, the moth monsters' attack power was not strong. After half an hour, all the moth monsters attacking him were killed!

Broken limbs and wings were scattered all over the swamp. Meng Chun picked up leaves from the tree and wiped the brown liquid off the sword.

He changed his place of stay and carefully observed the vegetation in the swamp. The group of moths had obviously mistaken him for a worm that came to steal eggs.

It seems this is the lair of the E-demon. If so, there will definitely be worms coming to steal the eggs. Now we just have to wait and see...

Kongyue City, Banxiang Restaurant

The restaurant was packed in the morning, full of businessmen from all over the place and some wandering cultivators who were hiding their identities, and even more so, some immortal disciples who came here to practice exorcising demons.

"Hey? Have you heard that Shiyue Trading Company will hold their first auction tomorrow morning? I wonder if there are any seats left in the backyard?" A fat vendor wearing brocade said to a pockmarked man next to him.

The pockmarked man buried his head in his food and said nonchalantly, "Those are the admission qualifications only for the bigwigs. Merchants like us shouldn't even dream of it."

"Besides, at worst, there are those immortal disciples who were invited to come and eliminate demons. Immortal cultivators are all very arrogant! How can people like us sit with them?" The pockmarked man swallowed the food in his mouth and looked meaningfully at the cultivators in sect uniforms at the opposite table.

Hypocrisy is his only definition of a monk.

The group of monks dressed in the sect's uniforms obviously heard what the pockmarked man said, but there was no dissatisfaction on their faces. Mortals had thousands of attitudes towards them, the monks, and the only thing they could do was to stick to their original intentions.

This time they were only ordered to come and eliminate the demons. Now that the demons have been eliminated, there is still half a month left before the deadline to return to the sect. They can go and see the famous Shiyue Trading Company.

"Senior Brother, do you think we should go and take a look?" A handsome young man looked at his senior brother who was sitting in the main seat.

The latter said in a gentle and good-tempered voice, "You haven't left the sect for a long time, so you might as well go and take a look."

Hearing this, several fellow disciples smiled at each other, their eyes still showing the childishness that was unique to this age.

On the other side of the foggy swamp, Meng Chun waited for two hours, and Feng Qiandu couldn't help but yawn.

Suddenly, faint ripples began to appear under the calm swamp. Meng Chun immediately focused his attention and stared closely at the scene below.

Soon, a scarlet worm tentatively emerged from the water, its pointed teeth slightly opened, and turbid water fell from its teeth, with some rotten leaves and silt hanging on its pointed teeth.

The scarlet body swayed and crawled on the swamp vegetation like a snake. Behind it, many worms of different sizes crawled out one after another. They followed the scent of the moth eggs and kept crawling forward.

It seems that there is a nest of these worms underneath this location.

Meng Chun held his sword tightly, ready to attack at any time. The number of worms increased, and the later the worms crawled out, the bigger they were. Only after dozens of worms crawled out did Meng Chun finally decide on his target.

He threw the sword in his hand towards a worm about ten meters in size, and used his spiritual power to control the flying sword to make sharp sword moves, wanting to kill it with one sword!

The surface of the worm's body softened, and the flying sword seemed to hit a ball of cotton, without even breaking the worm's skin. Naturally, this action attracted the attention of the worms, and the flying sword returned to Meng Chun's hand.

Those worms actually flew into the air and attacked him!

Meng Chun's eyes turned fierce, and he immediately mobilized his spiritual power and raised his sword. His sword moves mixed with spiritual power went straight to the vital points of those worms!

Unfortunately, those worms were extremely fast! While Meng Chun was struggling with them, he had to pay attention to his feet from time to time to avoid touching the surface of the swamp.

Meng Chun frowned. The worms on the water were already extremely difficult to deal with. It would be bad if his feet were entangled by the worms underwater!

After several fights, the worms did not hurt him, and of course Meng Chun did not gain any advantage. He was breathing slightly, and the sword moves in his hand kept changing to resist the worms attacking him!

He really wanted to take back his previous boast! This mission was quite difficult! No wonder no one took it despite the high reward. It turned out that everyone knew this thing was difficult to deal with!

Suddenly, the visibility in the swamp was already low, and it was now even difficult to see within a distance of one meter.

Why is there such a sudden thick fog?!

Meng Chun suddenly felt something was wrong. He tentatively swung his sword forward, and the sword energy split the thick fog, but it returned to its original state in just a moment.

Gone?! Where did all those worms go?

Is it...

He frowned, and suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around quickly, and swung a sword to collide with the sudden attack, and his spiritual power exploded in the fog!

A worm with a large scarlet mouth full of sharp teeth slowly hid in the thick fog.

Meng Chun no longer hesitated, and used his spiritual power to prepare to jump onto the high tree. Seeing his move, the worms in the swamp no longer hid, and dozens of worms more than ten meters long rushed out of the water!

The worms were extremely fast. Meng Chun had no time to react before one of them bit his calf. Its fangs pierced his skin and blood spurted out.

Meng Chun gritted his teeth and endured the pain to gather his spiritual power on his other leg. He bent down and jumped, and actually pulled the more than ten-meter-long worm that was biting his leg out of the water!

Feng Qian, who saw this scene, couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: What a nice waist!

Meng Chun held the sword in reverse hand, and gathered his spiritual power into a sword beam, which directly pierced into the worm's body. Fortunately, this time he was not disappointed. The worm was pierced and he pulled it upwards, and a pungent red liquid spurted out!

The worm was cut in half by the sword!

Meng Chun used his sword to pick up the worm's body that was cut in half, then jumped onto a high branch. Looking down, he saw thick white fog, and the worms were gone again!

He remained calm as he pulled out the fangs that were still lodged in his calf one by one. Blood was still oozing out of the tiny, deep wound as the teeth were pulled out.

By the time all the remaining teeth were pulled out, Meng Chun was already sweating profusely from the pain. He applied the medicine he brought with him directly to the injured area and put the worm corpse that he had hung on a tree branch nearby into the task card.

The task board shows that the progress is one tenth.

Meng Chun took out the ring given to him by Emperor Qi, injected his spiritual power into it and opened it. The space in the ring was not very large, but it contained a lot of healing pills and soul-restoring pills, as well as several bottles of pills of unknown function.

He took out a healing pill and swallowed it, planning to rest for a while before continuing to hunt worms.
