The massive figure is terrifying, as huge as a small house.

It emits a foul smell from top to bottom, and its two eyes are crimson like blood-soaked balls.

Luckily, Jiang Xiaobai reacts swiftly, thanks to the rigorous training he received from the three brothers with impressively low IQ. In the instance of the Ghost Crocodile’s attack, he kicks AnRan fiercely in the chest.

Bang!

The two quickly move out of the way, as the giant Ghost Crocodile crashes into the soft and sticky ground between them.

Mud splashes everywhere, accompanied by a stench that triggers an intense urge to vomit.

Jiang Xiaobai admits that he has used many stomach-upsetting tactics before, but compared to this stench, they are nothing.

“Damn, it stinks!” Jiang Xiaobai roars.

He then focuses his gaze and notices that AnRan is unmoving.

A sudden fear strikes his heart; could this be a poisonous gas?

Under these circumstances, his initial concern was not for AnRan’s life but to assess if it would affect him.

If AnRan knew what Jiang Xiaobai was thinking, he would most likely get up and furiously berate him.

You damn bastard!

“Who the hell is cooking shit here?”

At this moment, a groggy voice of AnRan sounds. He manages to struggle up to his feet, his chubby figure slowly standing tall.

Roar!

Just as that happens, the Ghost Crocodile lying on the ground suddenly thrashes its tail around like a wild dragon, smacking AnRan’s chest fiercely.

AnRan is sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

Fortunately, this Ghost Crocodile is only in the early stage of Transcendence. It might appear massive, but that is just a facade. Even after a solid hit, AnRan is just winded at most.

“You damn beast, you dare to attack your plump master. You’re just breaking through the initial stage of Transcendence, and you seriously don’t know how many eyes Ma Wangfeng has?”

Enraged, AnRan grunts, raises his thick black rod, and fiercely smashes it onto the Ghost Crocodile’s head.

Crack!

A clear sound of the Ghost Crocodile’s skull cracking echoes. This furious hit provokes it, causing the beast to thrash its tail wildly, trying to attack AnRan.

Despite AnRan’s size, he is nimble enough to avoid getting hit.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaobai also charges in with a superior treasure sword in his hand.

After a strenuous struggle, they manage to kill the Ghost Crocodile in front of them.

“Let’s see if there is anything valuable that we can take.” Jiang Xiaobai casually says, looking at the Ghost Crocodile’s body.

By the time he starts to examine the body more closely, bubbles suddenly pop up continually in the surrounding mud pit.

In the boundless darkness, lantern-sized red eyes appear suddenly. There are at least dozens of Ghost Crocodiles here!

“We’re screwed, run AnRan!”

AnRan yelps in surprise, sprinting forward right away.

“You fat bastard! You should not run away first!” Jiang Xiaobai says, not slowing down in his escape.

They soon run out of the area, surviving a close call.

“We just arrived at this Deadly Swamp and we already ran into this kind of trouble, are we not here to play?”

Jiang Xiaobai grumbles, “No wonder Xiao Yuwei said there are only dangers here, other than the abundance of fierce beasts. Bloody hell, dozens of Ghost Crocodiles in a small mud pit, what the…?”

Fortunately, although there are many Ghost Crocodiles, they move slowly on the ground. Jiang Xiaobai and AnRan’s speed outstrips them, even if the crocodiles are at the Dividing gods stage, they couldn’t catch up.

The only problem is the sheer numbers of Ghost Crocodiles and the fact the area is full of mud pits, truly a paradise for Ghost Crocodiles.

After recharging their energy in a safe place, Jiang Xiaobai wastes no time and begins to search for their target, determined to kill twenty Purple Stone Beasts as quickly as possible.

Luckily, fortune favors them, and they soon encounter a Purple Stone Beast radiating a purple glow from its head.

At the initial stage of Transcendence, they easily kill it together.

As expected, this Purple Stone Beast lives alone. After killing it and gathering its materials, they find no trace of another Purple Stone Beast within a ten-mile radius.

This complicates the situation.

“We have a tough road ahead, Fatty.” Jiang Xiaobai sighs, gazing upon the endless, dark swamp.

“Boss, in my opinion, we should abandon this mission and run. The stone on the Purple Stone Beast’s head is just a slightly precious material. It’s not worth wasting our time here; we should hurry up to the Mad Demon’s Secret Land.”

“No.”

Jiang Xiaobai shakes his head.

Firstly, they are unaware of the conditions on the road ahead. If Xiao Yuwei deliberately left them in the dark, rushing forward without any knowledge could be risky.

Secondly, the requirements of the system’s task include staying within five miles of Xiao Yuwei for the seven days following their escape. This is the biggest challenge.

This means, even after escaping, they must continue to follow Xiao Yuwei.

“This is really a headache…”

Jiang Xiaobai sighs, glancing at the slightly discontented AnRan. Ultimately, he refrains from telling him about the developments to come.

Thus, the two begin to search for traces of the Purple Stone Beast and to hunt them down swiftly.

While they are busy making headway, Xiao Ruyu finally maps out their plan and breaks through.

Even though they have united all forces, their losses are still significant.

Nearly 500 cultivators have died along the way, mostly independent cultivators harboring ulterior motives and quite a few disciples of their sect.

Consequently, their hatred for Hong Shixian, who brought the mad dog pack upon them, has reached its peak.

They all vow madly that if anyone captures Jiang Xiaobai, they will swarm in and take him down together.

As the group of over 1,500 people storms into the Deadly Swamp, the whole region starts buzzing with activity.

And behind them, the mad dogs are still in pursuit.

As soon as they enter the Deadly Swamp, some members are attacked by Ghost Crocodiles and suffer great losses.

Fortunately, the Ghost Crocodiles also attack the mad dog pack, removing the threat once and for all. People scatter, leaving the mad dogs to be blocked by the Ghost Crocodiles.

After entering the swamp, Xiao Wuwei, the third prince of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, has only two thoughts.

First, to complete the task issued by the Imperial Court.

Second, to find Xiao Yuwei while carrying out the task and give her a good beating. If he stumbles upon Hong Shixian,

the troublemaker, he wouldn’t mind dealing with him harshly too.

“Did you really think I am out of tricks?”

“Let them get here first. What does it matter? This place is actually my territory!”

Xiao Wuwei sneers to himself.
