Chapter 282: Meteorite Abyss
With the golden brick in one hand, and the Thousand Army Saber in the other, Yi Yun had the saber’s tip on the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile’s snout. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile was afraid that Yi Yun would kill it, so it could only follow Yi Yun’s instruction to ferry him across the swamp.
Splash–
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile’s body crashed through the corrosive mud and began heading deeper into the swamp.
When Yi Yun saw what the deeper parts of the swamp were like, he sighed silently. The Blackwater Swamp was really a place filled with death.
There were plenty of mud pools in the swamp, and if one were not careful, one could fall into one.
There were very few desolate beast laying dormant here, but there were a lot of desolate beast bones. All the desolate beasts had their flesh corroded away, even the remaining desolate bones had lost a great deal of their energy. They had been turned black from the swamp’s toxins.
Yi Yun even saw the bones of a huge python that looked like a mountain ridge half-buried in the swamp. The ribs that stretched out hundreds of meters into the sky were like spears that pierced the blue sky.
Yi Yun found it hard to believe that such a strong desolate beast would die here.
There were few desolate beasts in the swamp, but there were plenty of toxic plants. There were vines that were filled with toxins and they were tens of meters tall, and there were strange colorful flowers that could swallow corpses…
Yi Yun even saw the remnants of an airship. It was left wrecked in the deep part of the swarm. The hull had severely rotted, and blood-red moss grew on it.
Airships that could fly through the Divine wilderness were usually large in size. They had all sorts of arrays, weapons and cannons that needed more than ten humans at the human lord level to control them.
Yi Yun had also rode in a similar airship back when he came to the Tai Ah Divine City from the Divine Capital.
A typical small airship could easily crash if it was attacked by flying desolate beasts in the air.
When the airship crashed, Purple Blood realm warriors, who could not fly, would be committing suicide to fight with flying desolate beasts.
Hence, when cultivators went out to train, they would not take any airships. There was no way to control a large airship and they were expensive.
On the other hand, small airships were of not much use, and due to its large volume, they could not be placed inside an interspatial ring.
The airship in front of Yi Yun belonged to the small ships category that could not fly. It was probably specially prepared by cultivators to to cross the Blackwater Swamp.
But they must have had encountered an accident midway, or had been attacked by desolate beasts like the Blackwater Ancient Crocodiles, resulting in the ship being destroyed, killing all life on board.
Such a small boat had no defensive powers. Besides, the Blackwater Swamp did not have much water. It was mostly toxic sludge, so the speed of a boat through the mud was obvious. It was definitely incomparable to Yi Yun’s Blackwater Ancient Crocodile.
With an example before him, Yi Yun wanted to prevent the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile from causing destruction of good and bad alike. His Thousand Army Saber stabbed deeper making the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile shiver. Its four limbs began paddling even harder as it swam forward.
The journey proceeded till the crescent moon appeared. Finally, Yi Yun saw land in the distance.
Yi Yun only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw land ahead. He finally relaxed his tensed nerves.
He dislodged the Thousand Army Saber from the Blackwater Ancient Crocodile’s snout and leaped ashore.
The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile stared at Yi Yun with a worried look within its amber eyes.
Yi Yun smiled, “Thanks!”
Saying that, Yi Yun turned around and ran off. The Blackwater Ancient Crocodile felt as if a huge weight had been lifted of its shoulders and it quickly wagged its tail to enter the mud before fleeing far away.
