Invincible Martial God System

Chapter 59 The Northern Swamp

The northern border is vast and sparsely populated, but also extremely rich in resources. The most famous Ten Rings Monster Mountain in Yunyang Kingdom is located in the northern part of the northern border.

In the east, there is a vast swamp stretching for thousands of miles. The swamp is deserted year-round, with swampy areas of all sizes scattered everywhere. Moreover, thousands of years of accumulation have caused a kind of poisonous gas to grow in the air of the swamp.

Not to mention humans, even animals would find it difficult to survive here.

However, existence is its own justification; there are some strange creatures that can live in such harsh environments, and these creatures are generally very dangerous.

The once peaceful swamp has become quite lively due to the appearance of the rare treasure.

When Leng Yun arrived, he found a group of people already standing by the swamp.

Everyone was wearing the insignia of the Wang family of Dongliu City, so it seemed that these were people from Dongliu City.

Those selected to enter the Great Swamp to search for treasure are naturally not ordinary people; they should at least be experts at the True Martial Realm or above, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter the Great Swamp.

From a distance, the swamp is lush with trees, and a green hue permeates the air, growing thicker the deeper one goes.

This is the poisonous gas in the Great Swamp. To enter it, one must protect their entire body with their fist energy, which is a considerable cost to oneself.

"Brother Wang, so you've been here for a while now. Why didn't you go in?" Another group of people approached, and the one who spoke was Ye Mai from Ye City.

"Hey, Brother Ye's here to join the fun too." The Wang family's leader, Wang Dayu, said sarcastically.

Ye Mai chuckled coldly twice: "Could it be that you're afraid of the poisonous gas in this swamp and dare not go in?"

"Hmph, it seems Brother Ye's skills have improved recently. Shall we have a match first?" Wang Dayu said, somewhat annoyed.

"Haha, I don't have time for that. I guess the people from Icefield City have already gone in. I won't waste any more time here." With that, Ye Mai suddenly enveloped his entire body in green fist energy and swaggered into the swamp.

The dozen or so experts behind him also channeled their fist energy and entered the great swamp.

Wang Dayu was ignored and felt humiliated. He thought to himself, "Hmph, let you be so smug. Let's see who finds the treasure first!"

After saying that, he unleashed a burst of red fist energy and led his team into the great swamp.

It seems a significant battle is about to unfold here.

After everyone had gone inside, Leng Yun came out and walked into the Great Swamp alone.

Unlike others, Leng Yun only needs to ignite a flame in her palm, and the residual heat of the flame can dispel the surrounding poisonous gas.

Therefore, Leng Yun did not need to use his fist energy, and compared to others, he consumed almost no energy.

When walking in the swamp, the most important thing to be careful of is the ground under your feet, because you might suddenly find your footing and sink into the swamp's mud.

Some small mud pits are fine, but some mud pits have such a strong suction that even a True Martial Realm expert would be sucked in without any ability to resist.

Along the way, Leng Yun had already seen two people trapped and dead in the swamp. These were both True Martial Realm experts, a huge loss for any family.

The closer you get to the center of the swamp, the denser the green poisonous gas in the air becomes. What was originally a gaseous green now looks as if it has solidified.

More fist energy is needed to resist such poisonous gas.

Some of the weaker experts were unable to advance any further and had to wait in a safer position.

Leng Yun is currently at the second level of the True Martial Realm. If it weren't for the support of the flames, he probably wouldn't be able to go any further.

Another danger lurks in the swamp: if everyone runs out of fist energy, they will die inside. Therefore, they must calculate how long their fist energy can last and make preparations for the return journey.

Although Leng Yun could be free from the constraints of time by relying on flames, the silence filled with death, with nothing but green before his eyes, naturally made him feel somewhat depressed.

He also wanted to find the Heart-Driving Cauldron as soon as possible and leave this place.

Before long, Leng Yun walked through a grove of trees and came to the edge of a small river.

The river flowed quietly, its color green, with a faint glow that looked somewhat eerie.

Suddenly, a series of bubbles rose to the surface of the river.

Immediately afterwards, a figure leaped out of the water, sending splashes into the air.

Without a word, the figure immediately attacked Leng Yun.

"bump!"

Leng Yun immediately took out the Burning Lamp Ruler to defend himself. The two weapons collided, creating a splash of water and knocking the figure back several meters.

When the figure landed on the ground, Leng Yun could finally see what the other person looked like.

The creature had human limbs but a fish's head, a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and a menacing trident.

They were originally fish-people living in the great swamp.

These are among the few creatures that can live in such harsh environments; they are Rank 4 magical beasts and are extremely aggressive.

The merman pointed his trident at Leng Yun, making strange noises as he released several bubbles.

Immediately afterwards, several more fishmen jumped out of the water and surrounded Leng Yun.

Leng Yun gave a wry smile; it turned out this guy was summoning his companions.

Several fishmen, chattering and yelling, charged towards Leng Yun, their tridents aimed at his chest.

Leng Yun held the Burning Lamp Ruler horizontally in front of him, instantly blocking the fishman's attack.

Suddenly, the merfolk opened their mouths wide, and a stream of green viscous liquid spurted out with a hissing sound.

Leng Yun raised his left hand, and a ball of yellow flame swept out, burning the clumps of green slime into air.

Fish-men are aquatic creatures and naturally fear fire, especially the primordial fire of heaven and earth, the Five Elements Fire that can burn away all things.

The fishmen retreated, trying to jump back into the water.

"Want to run!"

Leng Yun shouted, and the flames surged. He raised his hand and unleashed the "Qi Control" technique, with flames burning around the massive air cannon.

The next second, the air cannon hit several fishmen, who immediately burst into flames, screaming and trying to get back into the water. But before they even reached the shore, they had already turned into roasted fish.

Leng Yun was very surprised, wondering why the fishmen were gathered here. Could it be that the Heart-Driving Cauldron was nearby?

Thinking of this, Leng Yun took out the Guanyin Purple Lantern and shone it on the green lake bottom.

In an instant, the lake water became transparent, and through the water, Leng Yun could see the scene at the bottom of the lake.

At the center of the lakebed, a pale green cauldron sits quietly, constantly emitting a faint green light—the legendary treasure, the Heart-Driving Cauldron.

Around the Heart-Driving Cauldron, there were dozens of fishmen wielding tridents, guarding it and watching it intently, seemingly not allowing outsiders to touch it.
