Chapter 340: A Peaceful Swamp
In this ghost swamp, a creature with a domain was not a good thing for ordinary trial-takers. It might even wipe out all the trial-takers who came in.
However, Jerry did not mind. He even wanted to see these creatures with a domain, and this might let him know the secret of Harris’ domain.
If Jerry could know the secret, he might have a chance to know the method to open the fourth level of the domain.
As for the danger, Jerry never worried about it because, on the way here, he had already inquired about it.
The person ranked first on the stone tablet of the second level of the endless tower, which was Stobeck. No matter what kind of danger he faced in the maze, even if he couldn’t defeat his opponent, he would be able to leave in the end.
Moreover, Jerry also knew that that guy had successfully cleared the ghost swamp.
Others might not know about it, but Jerry knew that the other party had only mastered the second level of the domain. The other party was only one step away from mastering the third level of the domain, who knew how long that one step would take.
However, Jerry did not let down his guard. He felt a threat from Stobeck. Once the other party successfully mastered the third level of the domain, his advantage would no longer exist, and he might even be no match for the other party.
This was also the reason why Jerry set his eyes on the fourth layer of the domain. However, it was not that easy to master the fourth layer of the domain, even after comprehending the Dao for so long under the Nine Heavens Treasure Tree.
There was still no sign of the fourth layer of the domain.
This time, he understood that Harris’ domain might have been obtained from the ghost swamp, so how could he not be curious?
Of course, there was another problem. Jerry had already reached the peak of the third god-king realm, but judging from the divine power he sensed from Stobeck’s body, the gap between his and his opponent’s cultivation level was still huge.
This was something that he could not figure out.
However, there was no rush. He had just arrived at the second level of the endless tower not long ago, and he had just met the Holy Spear dynasty, so he did not know much about the situation on the second level of the endless tower.
The Sky Dynasty immediately entered into an emergency seclusion. After coming out of seclusion, they directly attacked the Divine Spear dynasty. Then, they directly came to the maze to complete the mission of the endless tower.
It could be said that Jerry did not take a breather along the way. The information he had so far about the second level of the endless tower came from the descriptions of Simmons or Bulada.
Other than that, there was another thing that Bulada had mentioned about the protection period for the rookies.
The sudden disappearance of the protective barrier that protected the rookies from being attacked by the creatures in the maze, as well as the attacks from the monsters in the swamp that were different from what Bulada had described along the way, gave Jerry a whiff of conspiracy.
Either Bulada was lying, or something had happened in the Ghost Swamp, and this change might have something to do with Jerry.
To be more precise, this change might have been directed at Jerry and the others.
“Thump!” It sounded like something had fallen into the water.
As Bulada looked around, but there was no sign of any creatures in the surrounding swamp, not even a ripple.
Turning back to look at the reactions of Jerry and the others, Bulada confirmed that the sound was not his illusion. There was no doubt that some creature in the swamp had targeted them again.
However, this creature was obviously much more careful. Even though Bulada searched the surrounding swamp again and again, he still could not find any movement from the creature.
Beads of sweat had been rolling down Bulada’s face. What was going on today! !
This kind of creature that could not be found in the swamp was the scariest because you did not know when it would attack, or even how it would attack.
It was not the first time they had heard that sound, which meant that this creature had followed them all the way.
This suggested that this creature’s intelligence was not low, which meant that they were in a very dangerous situation.
The things under the swamp either did not attack, or once they did, it could be said to be a fatal blow.
Were the creatures in the ghost swamp that active today?
The creatures that originally lived in the swamp were basically corroded by the miasma. In some aspects, they were actually not that sensitive. Unless it was a particularly big movement, it would not attract the attention of those creatures.
But now, they had to be very careful as they moved forward. It could be said that they were paying attention to everything, but there were still creatures waking up from under the swamp. Moreover, the creatures that woke up were getting stronger and stronger.
This was completely different from the ghost swamp that he had come to before.
They had only walked for a short distance. Judging from the situation, it was likely that they would not be able to reach their destination before the monsters that appeared from the swamp would be able to wipe them out.
Just like that, in fear and trepidation, Bulada looked at the traces that he had left behind. At the same time, he was constantly paying attention to the surrounding swamps, preventing attacks from unknown sources.
In fact, this ghost swamp was not entirely formed by swamps. Otherwise, they would not have been able to walk on it. It was just that beside these similar countryside roads, there was a swamp.
Just like in the countryside, where a rainstorm had just occurred, puddles appeared one after another on the road!
Beside them was an endless swamp. However, at this moment, there were also puddles of small swamps on the road.
As they moved forward, they paid attention to the attacks in the swamp next to them. They also had to pay attention to their feet so that they would not accidentally step into the small swamp.
However, as they moved forward, there were no more attacks in the swamp next to them. However, this kind of calm did not make Jerry and the others feel at ease. Instead, it made them even more vigilant.
The calmer they appeared now, the more violent the attacks that were hidden under the calmness would become.
The calmer it was before the storm, the more intense the storm that was going to be.
“Boom!”
That was another deep sound!
It sounded like a bell that was urging the storm. Other than the sound that was getting closer and closer, the swamp was calm. Other than the bubbles that appeared in the swamp, they did not encounter any attacks.
If they had not entered the deeper part of the swamp and the more bubbles there were, they would have even suspected that they were far away from the center of the swamp.
“Dong!”
The interval between the sounds was getting shorter and shorter. It was as if something was gathering its strength under the swamp while waiting for the right moment to attack.
