Chapter 179: Crossing Another Swamp
Was this the reward of an act of kindness?
He saved Wien and gained the heart of lightning. Now that he saved Rasputin, he gained the Lightning Whip.
Looking at it, should he start saving more people?
Every time he saved someone, he gained a good reward.
But this was because he saved two good people, if he saved a vile criminal who repaid him with enmity, that would be trouble.
“I hope Rasputin can leave this place safely, don’t end up like Wien.”
Ye Feng sighed as he took the Lightning Whip.
“Right, do you have any suitable weapons?” Ye Feng suddenly thought of this.
If he gave the Lightning Whip away, what weapon would Rasputin use?
“Don’t worry.” Rasputin laughed proudly, he took out a Knight’s Longsword: “This is also stage six, it is suitable for me.”
“You have many good things.” Ye Feng was caught between laughter and tears as he shook his head, he went forward to heal Rasputin again.
Rasputin’s injuries were not that severe, he only had to use healing instead of wasting medicine.
“This dense forest is not large, let’s not waste time here. The earlier we leave, the better.” Ye Feng pulled Rasputin along.
He had observed the area when he was at the top of the tree earlier, they were at the center of the dense forest now. It was really dangerous here, so it would be best if they left as soon as possible.
“I know.” Rasputin laughed and said: “These light injuries can’t affect my combat capabilities.”
“Heh…”Ye Feng shook his head and continued forward.
Rasputin quickly followed him.
Their following journey was much smoother, they collected materials along the way, before long, they left the dense forest.
“Another swamp…” Rasputin looked at the small swamp as he became speechless: “Do we really ascend this mountain?”
This swamp was not wide but the length is somewhat frightening, covering their entire field of vision.
If they really wanted to get up that mountain ahead of the swamp, they would need a long detour.
In any case, they did not have a map of the Demonic Dragon Island, they had been roaming around aimlessly, it did not matter where they went.
“This mountain seems quite big, let’s try to climb it.” Ye Feng pondered before deciding: “We aren’t in any rush for time, let’s look around for a way across the swamp.”
The two of them started to circle around the swamp, before they got far, golden light attracted their gaze.
They looked towards the top of the mountain.
The golden light was emitted from there.
“To create such a phenomenon, there must be a powerful treasure up there.” Ye Feng rubbed his chin: “Since we’re here, we can’t let it go.”
To speak the truth, this was the first peculiar phenomenon he had seen after coming to this world. Since the effects were so dazzling, how could there not be an amazing treasure?
“Let’s hurry up.” Rasputin squinted as he looked at the golden light: “With this brightness, it should be observable from afar. Many people must have seen it.”
There was no blood fog here, and because the golden light was too bright, this phenomenon could be observed from a wide area.
“That’s right, we can’t waste any more time.” Ye Feng nodded and said solemnly: “We are not far from the mountain, it will be a regrettable loss if we don’t make use of the chance.”
Of course, they were just nearby, it was possible that some had already gotten up or were near the base of the mountain.
But compared to most of the people, Ye Feng was still quite close by, if he did not try to compete, it would be a huge waste.
“Vines, grow!” Ye Feng stretched out his hand and tried to use a spell.
A large number of vines grew around the swamp, but in just a few breaths of time, they were devoured by the swamp.
“This swamp is deeper than we thought.” Rasputin saw this and felt tongue-tied: “It must be a huge threat to be able to devour so many vines at once…”
No matter how deep a swamp was, it could still be dealt with. The issue was that there were things inside the swamp.
Like the poisonous vine monster earlier, the deeper the swamp, the stronger the special mutated beast that lived inside.
On the ground, they were not afraid, but if they fought in the swamp, they might get devoured by the terrain.
“I don’t believe it is that strong.” Ye Feng shouted in a cold tone and used his magic again.
This time, he did not just use vine magic.
Vine growth, vegetation sp.a.w.n, wood prison, tendril lock…
A large number of plants covered the surface of the swamp in front of them.
But in just a few seconds, they were all devoured.
Ye Feng had already expended a lot of magical energy now. Come to speak of it, there were many spells that could be used to cross the swamp, but they were too slow and p.r.o.ne to accidents.
For example, he could create an icy surface for him to walk on, but what if he got attacked on the way?
Earlier, no mutated beasts appeared when he summoned the vines, but that did not mean they did not exist.
The mutated beasts were not stupid, they could differentiate vines from humans with blood and flesh.
Although a small number of them were herbivores, they were not in a rush. They could eat after the vines had sunk into the swamp.
“Brother, try using the Lightning Whip.” Rasputin suddenly said: “The Lightning Whip is very long, it should be able to reach the tree over there.”
With their strength, they only had to make one or two loops on the tree, in just a few breaths, they would be able to pull themselves over there.
They did not even need any huge tree to do that.
“We can try!” Ye Feng had just obtained the Lightning Whip so he did not think of it, he praised: “Good job Rasputin, you are very smart!”
“Hehe, this is because I’m used to the Lightning Whip.” Rasputin scratched his head and said in embarra.s.sment: “Whenever anything happens, my first reaction is to use the Lightning Whip.”
“Let’s try it.” Ye Feng took out the Lightning Whip and swung it at a tree.
Although he was not a whip user, swinging it at a tree did not need much technique. The Lightning Whip could also be imbued with magic to raise Ye Feng’s control over it.
After it was looped around the tree, Ye Feng grabbed onto Rasputin’s waist and used a spell: “Lightweight!”
The two instantly crossed the swamp.
Immediately after they got to the other side, several fish-like mutated beasts jumped up from the swamp and wanted to bite them.
“It seems like they noticed us long ago.” Ye Feng looked at these mutated beasts and smiled coldly: “They have been waiting for us to come over.”
“They are quite smart.” Seeing that his plan succeeded, Rasputin was in a good mood, he said: “It is a pity that they lost their chance.”
