Chapter 1000: Sky Marsh, Peony Fish
"Friend Hong, is there something wrong with this mission?"
Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
He saw it very clearly just now. This jade slip was a special communication jade slip from the Sishui City Hall of Merit.
They are all used to assign tasks to each team.
Moreover, Hong Jingxiu himself has seen it, so there will naturally be no problem.
However, Hong Jingxiu looked doubtful at this moment, which made Chen Xuan a little confused.
"Captain, there is nothing wrong with the jade slip itself. The problem lies in the mission itself."
"You've also seen that the mission assigned to our Black Iron Team 156 by the Hall of Merit is to patrol the Sky Curtain Swamp!"
"To be honest, this Sky Curtain Swamp is one of the most dangerous places in the three thousand wild worlds."
"Last time, our Black Iron Team 156 encountered a group of alien cultivators in the Sky Curtain Swamp. The captain and deputy captain all died."
Hong Jingxiu looked bitter.
When the others heard this, they were also outraged and blamed the Elder Hall for assigning their Black Iron Team 156 to such a dangerous mission.
Only Chen Xuan had a very calm look.
"My fellow Taoists, since there are no problems with the jade slip and the mission, our Black Iron Team 156 will set off immediately."
"As for the dangers in the Sky Marsh Swamp, I believe you all know it better than I do."
"Once our team goes there for patrol, everyone must be on high alert."
At Chen Xuan's command, although Hong Jingxiu and others were very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Hall of Merit, they did not refuse.
Not long after, the 156th Black Iron Team quickly left their base on a kamikaze ship.
On the Kamikaze ship, there was a huge word "Ling".
When the Kamikaze boat that Chen Xuan and others were riding on was speeding through Si Shui City, all the Kamikaze boats passing by spontaneously made way for them.
hum!
Soon, the Kamikaze ship of the Black Iron Squadron 156 appeared on the city wall of Si Shui City.
Chen Xuan, who was standing at the front of the Kamikaze boat, could see clearly that outside the Si Shui city was an extremely vast and wild land.
Even though the range of his divine sense has reached an astonishing 20,000 miles, such a vast and wild land is still beyond the reach of his divine sense.
Even so, looking at the desolate and wild world, Chen Xuan's mood became inexplicably heavy at this moment.
"Is this the Savage Three Thousand Worlds? It's completely different from Sishui City."
Chen Xuan took a deep look at the Si Shui City behind him and saw countless soldiers patrolling on the city walls.
When he saw the protective formation that had existed since ancient times and was activated all the time, Chen Xuan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of awe.
"As everyone said, this Sishui City is the last barrier between our human race and the demon race. If Sishui City is lost, it means that the door to our human race and the demon race will be wide open."
"The alien races in the three thousand worlds of the wilderness will surely be able to march straight in. By then, the three realms of the human race and the demon race will probably become vassal lands of the alien races."
Chen Xuan sighed secretly.
But the Kamikaze ship under his feet was shooting forward at an extremely fast speed.
Only half a month later, the Black Iron Team 156 led by Chen Xuan appeared above a huge swamp filled with miasma.
Chen Xuan's spiritual sense quickly swept around.
I saw that the swamp ahead was completely covered by miasma.
Looking from afar, these endless miasma looked like a sky curtain covering the sky above the swamp. Chen Xuan finally understood that they had arrived at the Sky Curtain Swamp where they were going to carry out this mission.
"Everyone, get off the Kamikaze boat and fly into the sky."
Chen Xuan gave an order.
Hong Jingxiu and others did not hesitate either. They quickly put away the Kamikaze boat and dispersed with Chen Xuan as the center.
Hong Jingxiu and Bai Wenzhen, both powerful men in the late Nascent Soul stage, are the strongest people in the team except Chen Xuan.
They naturally walked at the front of the team.
Ma Zhihong and Su Lingqian followed behind Chen Xuan.
Zhu Xiangfeng and Zhou Zhenghu, one on the left and one on the right, are responsible for the team's flanks.
The entire team seemed to have no flaws.
But Chen Xuan was still not at ease, so he quietly released his spiritual thoughts and checked his surroundings carefully.
He even secretly asked monsters such as Fox and Chen Que to prepare for their attacks.
"Captain, we have now arrived at the Sky Curtain Swamp. This is where our Black Iron Team 156 and Black Iron Team 347 hand over their missions. Look..."
Hong Jingxiu's spiritual sense swept around and reminded Chen Xuandao.
Chen Xuan said: "Fellow Daoist Hong, how you handed over tasks before is how you hand over tasks now."
"Yes!"
Hong Jingxiu agreed.
Take out a palm-sized formation plate.
As spiritual power was rapidly injected into the formation disk, seven light spots of completely different brightness suddenly appeared on the formation disk.
Hong Jingxiu cast several spells on the formation disk, and the seven light spots with completely different brightness quickly disappeared.
"Captain, the Black Iron Team 347 that handed over the mission to us has left. Next, it will be our turn to be responsible for the patrol mission in this area." Hong Jingxiu said.
"Yeah. Let's go!"
Chen Xuan nodded and signaled everyone to move forward.
At this moment, everyone dared not take it lightly anymore.
Everyone was on high alert, paying close attention to any movement around them.
In the Tianmu Swamp, there is miasma and swamps everywhere.
Inside, there are abundant water and grass, which is not only suitable for alien cultivators to lurk, but also for powerful monsters to lurk.
In fact, many times, the reason why Tianmu Swamp is listed as a dangerous place is largely because Tianmu Swamp itself is too dangerous.
For safety reasons, Chen Xuan and others did not move very fast.
Moreover, all of them were suspended in the void dozens of feet high, slowly disappearing into the air.
Even so, the low-level monsters hiding in the Tianmu Swamp would occasionally launch sneak attacks on Chen Xuan and others.
If it weren’t for Chen Xuan and others, their strength would be very impressive.
I'm afraid he has already been made miserable by these monsters.
After the Black Iron Team 156 had taken over the patrol mission for more than half a month, everyone was slightly relieved to see that the area around the Sky Curtain Swamp where they patrolled had been safe and sound during this period.
Hong Jingxiu, who was acting as a scout in the front, looked at a piece of land not far away and said, "Captain, let's take a rest in the front."
"it is good!"
Chen Xuan nodded.
He signaled all members of the Black Iron Team 156 to rush towards the distant land.
However, when approaching the land, Chen Xuan's expression suddenly changed slightly.
The next moment, the 108 ancient dragon-subduing swords he activated slashed towards the land like raindrops.
Boom!
puff!
……
One hundred and eight ancient dragon-subduing swords pierced into the land in an instant.
Soon, dark red blood oozed out from the soil.
Hong Jingxiu, who suggested resting here, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"Fortunately, the captain was alert, otherwise, we would have walked into a trap this time."
Hong Jingxiu looked at the soil oozing blood and said with lingering fear.
Seeing this, the others prepared to take action.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
When he reappeared, he was already on land oozing with blood.
hum!
Chen Xuan's spiritual thoughts spread out rapidly.
Soon, the expression turned into one of extreme surprise.
"It's actually the Sky Corpse Beasts. Aren't these guys active in the depths of the Sky Curtain Swamp? Why are they here?"
Chen Xuan looked puzzled.
Sky corpse beast!
The highest level of cultivation is only the late Nascent Soul stage.
This kind of monster usually likes to lurk in swamps.
Completely integrated with the surrounding environment.
They will launch a surprise attack when the enemy is not paying attention.
In the past, many patrol teams had encountered sneak attacks by the Sky Corpse Beasts and suffered heavy losses.
These days, Chen Xuan followed Hong Jingxiu and the others and learned a lot about the monsters in the Tianmu Swamp.
Of course, I am familiar with the Sky Corpse Beast.
However, this kind of Nascent Soul stage monster has extremely low value to cultivators.
Generally speaking, killing it is of no use.
That is why Chen Xuan was indifferent to the corpse of the Sky Corpse Beast at this moment.
"It is indeed the Sky Corpse Beast!"
Soon, Hong Jingxiu and Bai Wenzhen appeared beside Chen Xuan at the same time.
After seeing Chen Xuan deal with a celestial corpse beast so quickly, Hong Jingxiu and Bai Wenzhen looked at Chen Xuan with even more respect.
As for Su Lingqian and others, they did not come immediately, but were responsible for guarding the surroundings.
After a moment, the experienced Hong Jingxiu glanced around.
Suddenly there was a look of surprise.
"Captain, what this Sky Corpse Beast likes most is the Peony Fish in the Sky Curtain Swamp."
"Haha, this peony fish is a low-level monster in the Sky Curtain Swamp. But it is born with a love for devouring spiritual energy, which is why its meat is so delicious. It is of great help to many monsters in improving their realms."
"If I'm not mistaken, this Sky Corpse Beast must be chasing the Peony Fish, which is why it appears here."
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
In the space of his Fairy Beast Tower, the realm of monsters such as Chen Que and Hu'er is still at the Nascent Soul Stage. If he gets some peony fish and gives them to Chen Que and other monsters, maybe they will have a chance to successfully advance to the God Transformation Stage.
"Since there is such a good thing, we naturally can't miss it."
"Fellow Daoist Hong, you and fellow Daoist Bai should not take any action. Stay here and be on guard."
"The rest of you, come with me to search for the whereabouts of the peony fish. After we find the peony fish, we will share it equally among all of us."
Chen Xuan's words boosted everyone's spirits.
Soon, except for Hong Jingxiu and Bai Zhengwen, the rest of the people, together with Chen Xuan, began searching in the nearby Tianmu Swamp.
About half an hour later, Su Lingqian said in surprise: "Captain, here."
Chen Xuan looked surprised.
Looking in the direction of Su Lingqian's finger, I saw a number of golden-bodied peony fish, about a foot in size, swimming happily in a pond.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't hesitate.
With a thought, one hundred and eight ancient dragon-subduing swords fell directly into the pool below.
One after another, the peony fish died quickly and floated to the surface.
Seeing this, the others were not idle either.
They attacked the peony fish together with Chen Xuan.
In just half a cup of tea, as many as three or four hundred peony fish were caught by everyone.
"Haha, Captain, these peony fish are of good quality. Even if we take them back for trading, we can earn a lot of spirit stones."
"Isn't it? Our Black Iron 156th Squadron not only completed the mission very smoothly, but also gained so many benefits. It was really worth it."
"That's right. Following the captain, we are enjoying a good life."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly.
Simply divide all the peony fish into seven portions.
After giving each person a portion, he also put his own portion into the storage bag.
After doing all this, Chen Xuan led everyone to rest for a while and then headed towards the patrol route again.
However, they didn't know that a long time after Chen Xuan left, they found the place where Chen Xuan killed the Sky Corpse Beast.
A small head suddenly poked out from the depths of the swamp.
