This Spirit Butterfly is the trump card of the Rebellion rcenary Group in their treasure hunt. Ni Qianjun would not reveal it until the very last mont.
The female Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly fluttered up, resembling a snowflake amidst the blood mist.
Initially drifting aimlessly in the blood mist, suddenly, the Outer Birth Profound Pill at the tip of its antennae emitted a gleam of treasure light toward the north.
"To the north," Ni Qianjun leapt up. All the rcenaries were invigorated and dashed towards the north.
The Spirit Butterfly led the way upfront, with Ni Qianjun and the others feverishly pursuing behind.
Before long, the swamp disappeared, and ahead appeared a crystal lake stretching several miles wide.
The rcenaries all stopped in their tracks, the grandeur before them like an invisible hand seizing their breaths, rendering them helpless.
Near the lake’s surface, various crystal formations grew resembling clusters of flowers and plants, so as tall as a person, others as thin as thumbs.
"Devil Crystals, all Devil Crystals, we’re rich, we’ve truly struck it rich!" After days of hardships and the death of their brothers, these rcenaries were on the verge of breakdown, crazedly rushing towards the lake, knocking crystals off with their weapons, stuffing them into their bags.
"The middle of the lake, the middle of the lake," Brother Barbarian pointed towards the center of the lake where a stele-shaped crystal stood like a small island in the misty blood fog, adding more allure to the beauty.
The lake’s beauty was stunning enough to take everyone’s breath away.
Brother Barbarian recklessly dashed towards the lake.
"Brother Barbarian, co back," Ni Qianjun, while astonished by the lake’s beauty, felt a palpitation.
His elder brother had repeatedly cautioned him that excessively beautiful things, much like overly beautiful won, should not be easily involved with.
He stayed alert, glancing at the Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly.
The Dark Pill external to the Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly turned black, a dead, pitch black.
"This is bad,"
As Brother Barbarian stepped onto the lake surface, it swiftly shattered like ice, morphing the clear icy surface into a bloody lake as nurous Poison Swamp bubbles, like hands from hell, ensnared Brother Barbarian’s feet and knees, dragging him into the swamp.
By the shore, the crystals stuffed into the rcenaries’ bags transford into severed hands, tugging at their bodies, dragging them into the venomous lake.
"Brother Barbarian," Ni Qianjun flung off his cloak, wrapped it around Brother Barbarian’s hands, steadying his lower body, intending to pull Brother Barbarian back ashore.
Screams and pleas echoed as one by one, his comrades were dragged into the Poison Swamp; Ni Qianjun could only grip the cloak tightly.
Suddenly feeling the ground below him give way, his body began to sink, the riverbank underneath him had turned to mud unknowingly.
"Deputy leader, let go," Brother Barbarian, half-subrged in the swamp, regained his senses, seeing Ni Qianjun’s body sinking like his into the Poison Swamp.
"Cover your nose and mouth, I’ll pull you up," Ni Qianjun gritted his teeth, and the blue ridians on his arms bulged prominently.
A dazzling red light burst forth from inside Ni Qianjun, temporarily stabilizing his sinking body.
Ni Qianjun freed his right hand, placed a Durian Pill into his mouth, slowly filling his Dantian with Dark Energy,
"Rise!" he shouted, almost pulling Brother Barbarian out of the Poison Swamp.
"Heh heh," an ear-piercing laughter echoed from the sky.
The dark reddish sky split open, the crack widening and eventually transford into a ferocious bloody eye staring at Ni Qianjun.
Full of bloodshot veins, as Ni Qianjun looked up to see the bloody eye clearly, it suddenly blinked. In that instant, Ni Qianjun felt a thunderous rattle in his mind, as if struck by lightning, causing intense pain.
The motion of pulling up stalled montarily, his body plumting straight down like a bird with broken wings.
Ni Qianjun barely steadied himself, and the cloak in his hand snapped.
"Brother Barbarian," the only thought in his mind, he leapt forward, grasping Brother Barbarian’s hand.
His body uncontrollably slid towards the Poison Swamp, poisonous gas continuously rising from the lake surface, penetrating Ni Qianjun’s nostrils.
"Ah Feng, you let go. Brother appreciates your intentions. Take the Ice and Fire Spirit Butterfly and escape, leave this damned place," Brother Barbarian, tears streaming down his face, alternated between shouting in anger and pleading.
"Brother Barbarian, ultimately, I am not elder brother, I can’t leave you behind," Ni Qianjun laughed, his eyes sincere.
Blurred in Brother Barbarian’s eyes, he rembered when that young red-haired boy first joined the Fire rcenary Group, cheerily called him "Brother Barbarian."
"Ah Feng, trust Brother Barbarian, you’ll definitely surpass Fire, so, survive and walk out of here," Brother Barbarian openly smiled, raising his hefty axe, striking towards his own arm.
Blood, in a split second, splashed onto Ni Qianjun’s face, steaming hot.
Brother Barbarian’s body instantly sunk into the Poison Swamp.
"No!!" A violent shout tore through the heavens.
A pillar of red light crazily surged from within Ni Qianjun.
That mont, the heavens and earth changed colors, and the blood fog within miles was swept away.
"Look ahead," after leaving the Ancient Village, Yue Jinghua and Feng Buhui hovering nearby the swamp noticed the scene unfolding ahead.
At the periphery of the Dan Demon Tomb, a man in black hovered in mid-air, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowing, revealing a hint of dangerous glint.
"Heavenly Mysterious Light, unexpectedly, Ni Qianjun, that youngster, has managed to break through Dark Heavenly in the Dan Demon Tomb. Interesting, this warrants my personal involvent," the man in black’s figure gradually vanished into the blood fog, as if turning invisible.
