“Shouldn’t be, right?” a man responded.
“There are no treasures around here, so there shouldn’t be any fierce beasts guarding,” another woman said.
“It’s better to be cautious!” another woman spoke up.
“Shall we try it together?” a man in a gray robe looked at the others and said.
“Okay!” responded a dozen or so men and women, then continued to blast strong palm strikes into the river.
Splash!
Dozens of huge water columns rose into the sky, and many fish could faintly be seen being lifted into the air.
Apart from that, there was nothing else unusual.
“Your Highness, there shouldn’t be any danger,” the man in the gray robe turned to Christopher Morris and said.
“Alright!” Christopher Morris nodded, “Tyrone Bernard, you take them over to try, try to stay away from the water surface as much as possible!”
“Okay!” Tyrone Bernard, the man, responded and led the group of men and women to fly across the river.
With previous experience, the group flew at their maximum ability about twenty meters above the ground.
This time, it seemed really safe, and the group safely flew over the riverbed.
Just as the group had just arrived over the opposite bank and had not had a chance to relax, they saw dozens of the same kind of vultures flying from not far away again.
Moreover, nearly half of this group were high-rank spirit beasts, coming aggressively.
“Be careful!” Tyrone Bernard frowned and shouted loudly, “Get down first!”
As soon as the words fell, fifteen or sixteen people quickly descended towards the grassland below.
Boom!
However, what horrified them was that the grassland below was not hard mountain terrain but a swamp, and almost simultaneously, the group sank into it.
And the swamp was particularly soft, sinking up to their waists in the blink of an eye.
“Ah…” two women screamed simultaneously.
In fact, for these strong individuals above the half-step Divine Realm, falling into a swamp was not such a terrifying thing.
As long as they quickly calmed down and then activated their techniques, it should not be difficult to fly out of it.
But with no psychological preparation, coupled with the attack of the birds overhead, it was inevitable to panic.
And the most deadly thing after sinking into the swamp was panic, the more struggling, the faster they sank.
“Stay calm, don’t panic, we’ll figure a way out after getting out!” At this time, Tyrone Bernard shouted loudly.
After saying that, he took a deep breath and was about to fly out again with his technique.
However, just as he was about to get up, his whole body instantly sank into the swamp, disappearing without a trace.
It was as if something had pulled him from below.
“There’s something in the swamp!” another man exclaimed.
The other dozen or so people were equally horrified and quickly activated their techniques to try to fly out.
In mid-air, those birds seemed to sense the danger and flew away one after another, keeping a distance.
Almost at the same time as the man’s voice sounded, the originally calm swamp suddenly surged, and many mud were lifted into the air.
Immediately after, just like Tyrone Bernard, all those dozen or so people were swallowed into the swamp, none spared.
After a while, the swamp returned to calmness, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this scene, the people on the other side of the river all took a deep breath.
What’s going on?!
In just such a short time, more than a dozen lives were lost?
Moreover, among those people, there were even strong individuals of the second-rank Divine Realm, yet they had no chance to struggle at all!
“Damn it!” Judge and Stout shouted simultaneously.
“What the hell is down there?” Bob paused for a moment before continuing.
No one could answer this question, because whatever was in the swamp never showed itself from start to finish!
“There are high-rank spirit beasts above, and mysterious creatures below. How do we pass through?” White Tiger’s face turned serious.
“Damn it!” Christopher Morris exclaimed in anger.
“Your Highness, what should we do?” a man looked at Christopher Morris and asked.
“Kayden, Amos, you two take your people along the riverbank to see if there are any other places to cross the river!” Christopher Morris instructed calmly after calming down.
“Good!” After responding, the two of them led four or five people each and turned to leave.
“Mr Kimmons, can we fly over that swamp?” Felicia looked at Casey and asked.
“It’s mainly unclear what grade of fierce beasts are inside the swamp, and how many there are,” Casey responded.
“If it’s only high-ranking spirit beasts, they won’t cause a threat. Even if it attacks us halfway, we can handle it.”
“Even the flying birds in the sky pose no threat, the highest grade is only ninth-rank spirit beasts, nothing to worry about.”
“Are you worried that there are divine beasts in the swamp?” Felicia asked again.
“Yeah,” Casey nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to a faintly visible forest several kilometers away.
“If my guess is correct, the swamp probably extends all the way to that forest.”
“Our flying speed in this space is greatly affected, flying such a distance will take quite some time.”
“If there are divine beasts inside the swamp, it would be very troublesome if they attack us midway.”
“Understood!” Felicia nodded.
“Boss, should we go and try?” Casey asked Billy after some thought.
“Let’s see if we can go elsewhere first!” Billy said thoughtfully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Kayden John and Amos Klein returned with their respective groups.
“How is it?” Christopher Morris asked.
“No way!” Kayden John shook his head.
“The surrounding area within twenty to thirty kilometers is the same, unless we return to the starting point and try a different direction.”
“That would be too time-consuming!” Christopher Morris shook his head.
“Let’s send a couple of mid-stage Divine Realm experts to try first!” Tristen George said lightly at this moment.
“Two will handle the flying birds in the air, while the others deal with things inside the swamp.”
“Agreed!” Christopher Morris thought for a moment, then turned to the others. “All those above the fourth-rank Divine Realm, come with me!”
“Okay!” Over a dozen men responded.
“Honey, are you going too?” Harleen asked Billy.
“Yeah, I’ll go take a look!” Billy nodded.
“Be careful!” Harleen said with a hint of worry.
“I’ll be fine!” Billy gave her a reassuring look.
“Boss, I’ll go with you!” Casey spoke up at the same time.
“You don’t need to, stay here and watch,” Billy replied.
“Alright then!” Casey thought for a moment and didn’t insist further.
A few minutes later, a group of over a dozen people flew over the swamp.
Looking down, however, the entire swamp was quiet.
Meanwhile, the flying birds in the nearby sky quickly flew over again after seeing the group.
