Chapter 1729 Island in the Lake
Hearing Ang Qi's words, everyone in the team trembled all over, like a prisoner being judged, with a sense of fear and despair in their eyes.
Along the way, Ang Qi and the others were walking ahead. Although they encountered many monsters along the way, they were easily killed by Ang Qi's sects of the Great Perfection of the Immortal. But at this moment, Ang Qi wanted them to explore the way. There was only one possibility of such an abnormal situation, that is, the road ahead was extremely dangerous, so dangerous that the followers of Ang Qi dared not easily get involved.
"The deputy commander has called you, why don't you go there quickly!" Brooke said angrily with a face: "I have delayed the matter of the deputy commander, be careful of your life!"
Brooke is like a bad guy with his true colors revealed. No matter how good his image was to be managed before, he doesn't need to hide it anymore.
"You..." Everyone glared at Brooke, their eyes full of humiliation and anger. In the end, they all sighed lightly, as if they had drained all their strength, and walked towards Ang Qi like a walking corpse.
Huang Hao also followed their steps and walked silently. However, just as he passed by Brooke, Brooke pressed Huang Hao's shoulder and whispered: "Brother, you will be by my side in a while."
Huang Hao deeply forgot about Brooke's glance, and then nodded expressionlessly.
"You and I are like brothers, I won't harm you!" Brooke patted Huang Hao's shoulder again, and then whispered: "Brother, I'm also taking a risky move this time. If it succeeds, you and my brother will be able to survive in this life."
While speaking, Brooke and Huang Hao also came to Ang Qi.
At this moment, Ang Qi was pointing at a huge quagmire in front of him and said, "Select a few of you to walk through that quagmire."
How many people?
Ang Qi's words immediately made everyone's hearts move. There are nearly twenty people here. If they only find a few people, it means that most of them don't need to take risks.
Immediately, several of the weakest human immortals were pushed out with a look of despair. This world is so cruel. If you are weak, you have no right and can only become other people's pawns. Everyone in the team is too weak compared to Ang Qi, so they cannot resist Ang Qi. And those demon cultivators who were pushed out of the human immortal realm can only become victims because they are weaker than others.
"Go, if you complete the task, you don't have to take risks anymore. Regardless of whether you have caught those outsiders on this trip, I will reward you with great rewards!" Ang Qi said lightly to the demon cultivators in the fairy realm.
Hearing Ang Qi's words, the people all looked upright, and a wave of hope suddenly appeared in their originally desperate eyes, as if they had suddenly seen the dawn in absolute darkness.
A look of annoyance appeared on the faces of the rest of the people. If they had known that they would not have to take risks as long as they completed the task once, they would definitely take the initiative to take on this task. After all, the deeper they went into the Shadow Swamp, the more dangerous it would be, that is, every task would become more and more dangerous.
Huang Hao lowered his eyes, looking indifferent, but he was extremely sneered in his heart. Ang Qi's words were just a trick to attack the heart, and the purpose was to mobilize the enthusiasm of these people and make these people rush to work hard for him. With Ang Qi's attitude, if there is really a need, it will not care whether you have completed an exploration mission.
"call--"
"call--"
"call--"
As several sounds of breaking the wind sounded, the demon cultivators in the human immortal realm all stood up and flew towards the mud. Although they could not fly, human immortals were also immortals after all, and after they were used, they were as light as swallows. It was not a problem to cross a mud.
However, just as these people came to the mud, the originally extremely calm mud suddenly floated, like boiling water and mud splashed.
"Not good!" Just as everyone on the shore was pale, several yellow monsters suddenly rushed out of the mud, and rushed towards the demon cultivators in the human fairy realm.
Their strength is very strong. The most powerful one is already the realm of the celestial immortals, and the other few are also the peak of the earth immortals. With such strength, how could those demon cultivators in the realm of the human immortals avoid it? They didn't even have time to scream, and were directly caught by the mud monsters, and then swallowed it directly into their stomachs.
On the shore, looking at the tragic death of his companions, the team members who were still trying to get the opportunity in advance were pale, but they were extremely lucky. Such a powerful mud monster, if they had gone to explore the way, they would probably have a dead end.
But immediately, their mood became heavier. It was so dangerous before they could fully penetrate the swamp, so wouldn’t it be even more dangerous next?
At this moment, a sneer rang out: "I thought it was some powerful monster, but it turned out to be just a few loach monsters, and the most powerful one was in the early stage of the celestial immortal. People came and slaughtered them for me."
As Ang Qi finished speaking, two figures flew out and fell into the mud. The momentum of the Great Perfect Realm of the Heavenly Immortal suddenly exploded, and they killed the loach monsters in a few seconds.
After putting the corpses of the loach monsters into the storage ring, the two of them returned to Ang Qi's side.
"Let's go, keep moving forward!" Ang Qi waved his hand and signaled the team to continue moving forward.
"Deputy Commander, your followers can easily kill those monsters, why do we still need to explore the way?" At this moment, a voice sounded, but a demon cultivator in the team called out with a sad and angry look. Among the people who died before, his younger brother was.
"Shut up, Lucio!" Brooke shouted loudly and scolded angrily.
However, the demon cultivator named Lu Xiu looked at Ang Qi fearlessly, his eyes full of persistence.
"Haha, my subordinates are all in the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Immortals, and you are just a group of ants. The way to explore is naturally what you ants should do." Ang Qi smiled coldly and replied, "No matter how many ants die, I don't care, but I can't afford to lose any of the strong people in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. It's that simple. If you are not convinced and have the ability to become a strong person in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I will pay so much attention to you at that time."
Lu Xiu had a gloomy face and clenched his fists. He was obviously angry with Ang Qi's words. Not only Lu Xiu, but the rest of the people were the same. Ang Qi's words greatly hurt their self-esteem.
However, what surprised Huang Hao was that Lu Xiu's clenched fist suddenly loosened: "I understand, deputy commander."
"Well, you are smart." Ang Qi glanced at Lu Xiu mockingly: "If you say something more, you are dead at this moment."
After saying that, he waved his hand again: "Keep moving forward, we are getting closer and closer to the places where outsiders hide."
The group continued to set off, but because of the death of a few people, the atmosphere in the team became more and more dull.
The rest of the team hoped that the next journey would be smooth and they would never be able to record their way. However, their wishes were destined to be a silence. Not long after moving forward, the team stopped again. Under the command of Ang Qi, three demon cultivators went to explore the way. As for the result, only one of the three demon cultivators came back, and this person was the guy named Lu Xiu.
This time someone came back alive, which made everyone feel relieved. At least, such a pathfinder is not an absolute dead end, and you can still come back as long as you pay attention.
However, such luck was soon broken in the cruel reality. As it penetrated deeper into the swamp, Angqi made them explore the way more and more frequently. In order to save manpower, fewer and fewer people were sent out to explore the way. At first, there were three people in groups, but later, every time they explored the way, one person was sent.
Moreover, the monsters encountered during the exploration process are becoming more and more powerful. No one can survive every exploration.
What's even more serious is that as they deepened, the poisonous miasma in the air became stronger and stronger. Even with the blood silkworm yarn, it began to be affected, let alone those who did not have the blood silkworm yarn. Later, these people's faces turned black and their bodies were extremely weak, and they even had difficulty walking.
Ang Qi seemed very impatient to these people. In his words, there was no waste in the team. If he couldn't keep up with the team, he would die in this swamp.
In order not to be abandoned as an abandoned child, these people gritted their teeth and persevered, but how can they survive in this state?
What surprised Huang Hao was that although the guy named Lu Xiu was also harmed by poisonous miasma, he acted much better than those demon cultivators at the level of the earth immortals. In addition, this person was the only one who survived when he went to explore the way, so in the end, except for Huang Hao who was specially taken care of by Brook, Lu Xiu was actually the only demon cultivator who survived to the end.
"The hiding place for those groups is ahead." The group came to the edge of a lake, and Ang Qi's subordinates pointed to an isolated island in the lake ahead and said.
Everyone looked at the isolated island in the direction this person pointed, and saw that the isolated island was lush with grass and trees, similar to the dark swamp around them, which was like two worlds.
"Who among you is going to explore the way?" Ang Qi pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Huang Hao.
Hearing Ang Qi's words, Brooke couldn't help but look hesitant on his face, and he said in a naughty way: "Deputy Commander, this is my brother, why not let Lu Xiu go."
"Haha, do you think what I say is fart? Lu Xiu has been there once before, but this guy has been hiding behind him. This way, if he doesn't go, you can go." Ang Qi glanced at Brooke with a smile and said lightly.
"This..." Brooke's face changed drastically, and hesitantly looked at Huang Hao.
"Let me go." Huang Hao stood up with a calm expression and then spoke.
