1688 Chapter 1687 of “Quickly Traveling [Jade Body Exposed]”

Weak master x violent snake king【Twenty-nine】

However, so far, no one has successfully hunted the monster in the lake.

On the contrary, the bounty hunters who came here had already buried countless bodies and lives at the bottom of the lake.

There is no other reason. The monster beast in the lake was born from the lake. It is said that it also swallowed the crystal core of the ancient mysterious beast. Although it cannot be completely integrated into it for one’s own use, its strength has greatly increased and cannot be subdued by ordinary high-level monks.

When they heard this story from Su Ji, Li Xin and Abyss agreed that it was not some mysterious beast crystal core, but the “eyes” of Abyss.

Therefore, they must kill this high-level monster and take out the fragments from its body.

However, in front of so many people, Abyss couldn’t do anything, so Li Xin could only let him wait and see what happened. If the monster didn’t show up, he would find an opportunity to slip away from the caravan and come back after they were far away.

Blackwater Lake does not live up to its name. There are beautiful flowers and green grass beside the lake. From time to time, there are unknown birds with bright and colorful wings and clear and sweet bird songs.

Su Ji reminded Li Xin that this bird looked ordinary, but was actually a high-level monster named Jingduwu. It moved as fast as lightning, had a sharp beak, and its venom could cause a person’s body to fester and die in a short period of time.

However, they will not actively attack humans, but instead feed on the dragon poison grass and snake pupil flowers near the lake.

The Blackwater Lake was the only way out of the forest. Most of the caravan members held their breath and walked far away, for fear of disturbing the monsters in the lake.

The closer you get, the clearer the familiar aura becomes. It is calling to the abyss, taking it away from the lake and returning it to its owner.

Abyss couldn’t help but be anxious, with a hint of impatience on his face.

Li Xin gently held his hand that was holding the reins. The palm of her hand was soft and smooth, which made Abyss’s mood calm down slightly.

She communicates with him through consciousness:

[We will come back after the caravan leaves]

Abyss also knew that it was not appropriate to take action at this time, so he clenched his fists and endured it.

The group of people crossed the Blackwater Lake and kept their movements to a minimum. Fortunately, they got through it safely and without any danger.

Everyone except Li Xin and Abyss breathed a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, however, surprises always come unexpectedly.

Just as the caravan’s truck passed by the other side of the lake, the car hit a piece of gravel the size of a palm, causing the wheels to bump and tilt to one side.

At the same time, a strong and extremely sweet smell came from the truck.

There were scars on his face, and the mercenary captain who had traveled through the Dragon Bone Forest dozens of times immediately changed his expression.

He was very familiar with this forest and had had several brushes with death, so he could smell the unusual smell with just a slight sniff.

This is berry juice, the favorite of Blackwater Lake monsters.

A caravan is not a “caravan” at all!

The moment he reacted, the caravan’s truck burst into pieces, and what poured out was not only thick purple-red berry juice, but also five or six burly men in soft armor.

“Frey, it’s really you!”

The mercenary captain raised the broad sword in his hand and aimed it at the bald, one-eyed alien man who was the leader among the group of people.

The businessmen who had been coerced had huddled together and retreated into the corner.

When Shen Yuan and Li Xin saw this, they couldn’t help but look at each other.

Wait and see what happens.

Frey is a notorious bounty hunter in North River. As long as they have the elemental stones, they will commit all kinds of crimes, whether it’s murder, arson, rape or robbery.

Several people he led formed a small group. They had previously received the task of obtaining the crystal core of the Blackwater Lake monster at a high price, so they came to the town to find the mercenary captain to form an alliance.

However, the mercenary captain knew the dangers involved and could not bear to let his brothers die. Furthermore, he couldn’t stand Frey’s actions, so he rejected him directly.

I didn’t expect that he would use this method to trick them into coming to fight for their lives.
