Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1473: Chapter 1472: Swamp Land

On the Demon Sea Star, some areas are dry, while others are moist.

The swamp land is a place that’s moist to a certain extent.

Su Han and his group, while traveling, had seen swamps before, but they were not large—at most, about ten meters in diameter and appeared pitted.

The real swamp land is not like this.

It is a mire that stretches beyond the horizon, containing countless Demon Beasts, and even Spirit Beasts, living beneath the swamp with numerous dangers.

Equally, with the dangers, there are also many opportunities present therein, but relatively speaking, these opportunities are not very significant, so they can only be considered benefits.

Medicinal ingredients are one of the specialties of the swamp land.

’Earth Jade Stone’ that has grown for over ten thousand years, ’Man-eating Flower’ that stands over ten meters tall, ’Ice Cloud Grass’ covered in thorns...

And the Dragon Crocodile Bone mentioned by Wang Chui.

Countless medicinal ingredients exist, many of which have never been discovered by cultivators and only recorded in some ancient texts about their origins.

Dragon Crocodile Bone belongs to medicinal ingredients but does not grow by itself; it is a piece of bone from a First Grade Spiritual Beast, the Dragon Crocodile Beast.

The Dragon Crocodile Beast is very large, with a body length of at least over twenty meters, bearing a dragon’s tail, a crocodile’s head, and body, and the front two claws resembling dragon claws, while the back two are crocodile claws.

There have been many rumors, saying the Dragon Crocodile Beast is a hybrid descendant of the Dragon Clan and crocodiles, but this is not actually the case.

A True Dragon’s child, no matter how diluted the bloodline, could not possibly be only a First Grade Spiritual Beast level; the Dragon Crocodile Beast’s appearance merely resembles a Giant Dragon.

Despite the Dragon Crocodile Beast’s large size, only one Dragon Crocodile Bone exists on its body, located on its forehead, about the size of a palm.

Therefore, to obtain the Dragon Crocodile Bone, one must kill the Dragon Crocodile Beast!

...

As time passed, half a day quickly went by.

Night fell, rustling sounds came from the surrounding shrubbery, and the group could even see streaks of green light, which were pairs of eyes.

At night, beasts are most active.

”Let’s stop for now.”

Wang Chui, clearly experienced, spoke: ”The swamp land is not far from us, at most two hours’ journey to reach it, but there are many Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts there; approaching now could potentially provoke these beasts into a frenzy. Here is the best distance, let’s rest here for the night.”

”Alright.”

The group nodded; being mercenaries for so many years, they had some common sense.

Next, the group began setting up tents, each busy with their task.

These tents were not ordinary tents but Mid-Grade Spiritual Weapons that could withstand attacks from other cultivators or Spirit Beasts.

In the Lower-Class Star Region, the grade of equipment has levels, from low to high, they are: Spiritual Weapon, Mysterious Device, Ghost Artifact, Imperial Artifact, Netherworld Artifact, Ancestral Artifact, Sub-Immortal Artifact!

And within each grade, there are four sub-levels: Low-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, Top-Grade.

The equipment’s value is no less than Pills, just that Pills are used more, and equipment less, so in certain aspects, a Pill Master’s status is even more revered than an Artifact Refiner.

Though this tent is a Mid-Grade Spiritual Weapon, it doesn’t have much function, mainly defense, so its value is not high, around fifty thousand Spirit Crystals.

And these items are all provided by the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion.

Wang Chui and the others, as mercenaries of many years, have some wealth, but asking them to spend fifty thousand Spirit Crystals to buy such a tent is quite extravagant.

”Alright, let’s camp here tonight.”

Once everything was done, Wang Chui said, ”The tents are few, but not small; roughly twenty people squeezing into one tent should be possible.”

The group nodded, then each entered their tents, showing obvious familiarity, as this situation had occurred quite often before.

Finally, only Su Han, Wang Chui, and Luoo Ning stood outside.

Su Han was aware; he knew well that these people did not want him inside the tent, otherwise, they would have invited him already.

Luoo Ning and Wang Chui standing outside was precisely due to this matter.

”Su Han, you...”

Luoo Ning wanted to speak but didn’t know how to start.

The tent she was in was all women and naturally couldn’t invite Su Han inside.

And the other tents were already full...

”Come to mine.” Wang Chui said. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

”No need.”

Su Han shook his head: ”I’ll just stay outside.”

”How can that be?”

Luoo Ning and Wang Chui said in unison.

”Come in, there are many Demon Beasts outside at night; this tent has a defense function, and with Cultivation Base, it can become invisible, ensuring some safety.” Wang Chui said.

Su Han still shook his head; since they didn’t welcome him, why join in?

”Whoosh!”

His figure flashed, directly heading to a big tree, sitting calmly without saying another word after.

Wang Chui watched for a moment, sighed, and said no more, entering the tent.

Luoo Ning stood there staring at Su Han, stomping her foot angrily.

”What kind of people are these, if Pavilion Master knew you treated Su Han like this, you surely wouldn’t get a good face!”

”Senior Sister Luoo, you go inside.” Su Han smiled to Luoo Ning.

”Then you...”

”I’m fine.”

”Alright.”

Luoo Ning reluctantly said, ”But if you encounter any danger, tell me first thing; I won’t sleep, just stay in the tent.”

”Okay.” Su Han nodded with a smile, only then did Luoo Ning enter the tent.

Only after she went in did Su Han softly exhale, his figure flashing into the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.

Compared to that tent, the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son was times safer; even if they begged Su Han, he wouldn’t wish to go inside, let alone the current situation.

...

In the outside world, a night passed; in the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, ten days elapsed.

Su Han refined some Heart-Breaking Pills, but it still wasn’t enough; to fully break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, he must consume all the pills in one go.

As for the physical body, during the pill refining, Su Han also absorbed some blood crystals, the physical strength further increased, slightly stronger than before at the Dragon Venerate Realm Peak.

A night passed without any crisis occurring.

The next morning, sunlight illuminated the land, and crisp birdsong echoed around.

The group came out of the tent, almost immediately, numerous eyes fell upon Su Han sitting cross-legged on the big tree.

No one spoke, but their expression carried a cold sneer.

”This is training!”

Wuche glanced at Su Han, feeling immensely pleased.
