Chapter 12652 A huge test

Chapter 12652 A huge test
At first, Ling Xiao could still see some human figures swaying in the distance. Perhaps they were also attracted by Long Yun’s guidance and came to look for the Heart of Water.

However, as he went deeper into the swamp, the figures around him gradually disappeared. In this vast world, it seemed as if he was the only one walking alone.

But he did not back down, instead he became more determined, because he knew that only by bravely facing the unknown could he find the legendary Heart of Water.

Ling Xiao's steps became more determined, he quickened his pace, and advanced deeper into the swamp. Long Yun's vague and mysterious guidance guided him forward like a compass.

In this vast swamp, he searched everywhere, not missing any clues.

The surrounding scene became increasingly eerie and terrifying, and the smell of decay filled the air.

Ling Xiao glanced around and saw some rotten corpses scattered around the swamp.

Some of these corpses were as huge as monsters, and some were as thin as human warriors, but without exception, they had all turned into bones and were corroded beyond recognition by the miasma.

The stench from the corpse was sickening, but Ling Xiao was not afraid at all.

He has a physique that is immune to all poisons, and the miasma and stench are nothing to him.

He walked past the bodies in silence, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart.

These once vibrant lives have now turned into bones, forgotten by the world in this desolate swamp.

However, Ling Xiao did not give up.

He knew that every adventure was accompanied by unknown dangers, but only by moving forward courageously could he find the legendary Heart of Water.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and continued to move deeper into the swamp.

He suddenly stopped, his body frozen like a sculpture, with a flame of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

The air around him seemed to freeze, and only the vigilance in his heart was beating wildly.

He felt the ground trembling slightly. It was not the blowing of the wind, nor the natural pulse of the earth, but something stirring in the darkness.

The pitch-black swamp was like the bottomless mouth of a giant beast, swallowing up all light and hiding endless horror.

He stood there for a long time without moving, and the noise seemed to disappear without a trace. He frowned and thought, with doubts in his heart, but he did not dare to relax at all.

He understood that this place was full of unknown dangers and if he was not careful, he might end up in an irretrievable situation.

However, he did not back down, but instead became more determined to move forward. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.

He continued to move forward, but every step was cautious, as if he was walking on a tightrope and would fall into the abyss if he was not careful.

Suddenly, a strong wave surged in the swamp, and then a huge figure suddenly jumped out, stirring up a cloud of mud and water.

It was a giant crocodile, more than ten meters long, like a moving hill, its huge body almost occupying the entire field of vision.

Its skin is dark brown and covered with rough scales, as if it were wearing a layer of natural armor.

The giant crocodile's head was particularly large, and its two eyes flashed with ferocity, as if they could devour everything.

Its mouth opened wide, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, each of which was as sharp as a dagger and flashing with cold light.

In the moonlight, these teeth looked even more hideous and terrifying, as if they could instantly tear apart anything that stood in their way.

The giant crocodile has a sturdy and powerful body, its limbs are well-developed with muscles, and every swing of its body can create huge waves.

Its tail was even longer and more powerful, like a huge steel whip, waving in the air and making a whirring sound. When it swam, the whole swamp seemed to tremble under its vibration.

At this moment, the giant crocodile was pouncing towards him at an extremely fast speed, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and its eyes flashed with ferocity, as if it wanted to swallow him in one bite.

Facing such a fierce enemy, he was shocked, but more angry and calm. He understood that this was a test and training for him.

He raised his hand and slapped, and the power of the Fiery Dragon Soul instantly exploded, transforming into a roaring fire dragon, rushing straight towards the giant crocodile.

The fire dragon and the giant crocodile collided in the air, causing a deafening roar. The giant crocodile was blown away by the powerful force and slammed into the swamp, splashing muddy water.

The giant crocodile was knocked away, but Ling Xiao's expression did not show any relaxation. He was now at the first level of Fei Tian Realm. If he really burst out with all his strength, he would be able to fight even against a strong man at the first level of Bu Xi Realm.

However, he thought that the palm strike just now was enough to kill the giant crocodile, but he did not expect that the giant crocodile's vitality was so tenacious. It was only seriously injured but not killed.

Ling Xiao was secretly alert in his heart. There were indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this swamp, and they should not be underestimated. He stared at the depths of the swamp with a sharp gaze, fearing that there would be more danger.

However, just when he relaxed his vigilance, a group of black shadows suddenly rushed over from all directions. Ling Xiao's pupils shrank, and he saw that those black shadows actually tore the seriously injured giant crocodile to pieces, and in a moment, only white bones were left.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, and a chill surged in his heart. There were so many giant crocodiles hiding in this swamp. Wasn't he poking their nest?

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a solemn look. Although the strength of these giant crocodiles was not too strong individually, there were so many of them that if they attacked in groups, even a strong man like him would find it difficult to resist.

"Let's go!" Ling Xiao shouted in a low voice, his tone revealing firmness and decisiveness.

He knew that it was not a wise move to confront these densely packed swarms of giant crocodiles head-on.

Even if he could kill all these giant crocodiles with his powerful cultivation, it would not only be extremely exhausting, but would also be of no practical benefit to him.

What's more, his goal was not to fight with these monsters, but to find something more important.

Therefore, slipping away became his wisest choice at the moment.

After all, his cultivation has now reached the flying realm, and his speed is faster than before, so it is not difficult for him to escape from the siege of these giant crocodiles.

However, just as Ling Xiao was about to turn around and flee, the Fire Cloud Stone in his hand suddenly reacted strangely. This sudden change made him stunned for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

The Fire Cloud Stone, this mysterious and powerful treasure, not only has a unique sensitivity to the Heart of Fire, but in fact, due to the natural law that water and fire are incompatible, it will also react when it senses the Heart of Water, but the form of the reaction is completely different from when it senses the Heart of Fire.

Ling Xiao's gaze involuntarily turned to the swamp full of giant crocodiles, and the doubts in his heart gradually turned into a bitter smile.

He shook his head helplessly. The Heart of Water was actually hidden beneath this seemingly dangerous swamp?

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for him.
