C103 Snake pond

Originally, this place should have been the best passage from Chenyu County to Xixi County in Xixi County. However, because the spring water from Qu Wu Mountain and Yuancheng Mountain had completely poured into this depression, it had formed a marsh that separated the two places.

The Nan Xuan Swamp was full of dangers. Besides hiding in the swamps that could swallow a person at any time, this was also a paradise for mud snakes. There were also many poisonous mud snakes hiding in the swamps that could escape at any time and kill others.

Besides these, there were also some rogue cultivators hiding in the South Xuan Swamp. These people had either committed murder in the Yu County or the Xi'an Country, so they had no choice but to hide in the swamps after being hunted down.

However, before they had arrived at the South Xuan Swamp, Yang Junshan had discovered that there were cultivators from the town that had taken risks and entered the swamp, attempting to cross the border into the Xi Men County. However, before they had arrived at the Nan Xuan Swamp, Yang Junshan had discovered that there were cultivators from the town, who had taken risks and entered the swamp, attempting to cross the Xi Men County.

A cold light flashed past Yang Junshan's body, a finger-thick snake was cut into two by him. It fell into the mud, twisting and struggling back and forth, splashing some muddy water. Although this snake was short, its strength was very strong.

Unlike those ordinary cultivators who had to use a long stick to prevent themselves from getting stuck in the mud when crossing the swamp, Yang Junshan was very familiar with the Nan Xuan Swamp. He could tell whether there was a road or a trap underneath the mud.

The saber in Yang Junshan's hand was Han Xiusheng's usual weapon. Although it was not a magic weapon, it was still made of Hundred Refinement Steel. The quality was very good. This time, Han Xiusheng gave it to him for self-defense after he entered the swamp.

In addition, Yang Junshan's seven stone bow was also slung over his shoulder, and he had a pot of talisman arrows on his back. Although this seven stone bow was still soft for Yang Junshan, at the moment, what he needed was not the might of the bow itself, but the strength of the talisman arrows, which were far beyond the range of magic.

The Heaven Glaze Mud was usually found in the mud puddles where mud snakes would gather, and the mud pools where mud snakes would gather would usually be where spirit energy would gather. The mud pools here had been used for a long time, and under the constant whipping of the snake's body, a portion of the mud water that was mixed with spirit energy and mud snakes' body fluids would turn into the spirit material, Heaven Glaze Mud.

The quality of the Heaven Glaze Mud was not necessarily low-grade, and with the difference in color of the Heaven Glaze Mud, it could also be divided into high-middle and low-grade. The green Heaven Glaze Mud was the lowest and most common low-grade spirit material, and was also Yang Junshan's first target to enter the swamp; if the Heaven Glaze Mud turned red, the quality would rise to mid-grade magic material.

Therefore, the most likely place where the glaze mud in the swamp existed was the place where the mud snakes gathered. And this time, Yang Junshan was going to a snake pond that he remembered from his previous life.

The sword in his hand was like an arm, the mud snakes that scuttled out of the quagmire were all cut in half by Yang Junshan's blade, regardless of their size. However, there were some mud snakes that remained hidden in the path Yang Junshan was on, and when they stepped on the ground, they suddenly extended their heads and bit towards their calves or feet, but were immediately broken by the kick.

Although Yang Junshan didn't carve the Earth Shock Technique on his Immortal Foundation as his personal magic, he could still cultivate ordinary magic after advancing to the fifth layer. There was no reason for him not to practice the Earth Shock Technique and Sand Flying Technique, the two inherited spells of the Yang family.

Although he hadn't successfully mastered the Earth Shock Technique in a short period of time, it wasn't too difficult for him to use it to kill one or two mud snakes.

In his previous life, Yang Junshan had learned many different techniques as a rogue cultivator, and one of them was the art of tracking. Although mud was flowing in this swamp, it would gradually cover the tracks of people walking across it, but this footprint in front of him hadn't even completely soaked in mud.

Judging from Yang Junshan's experience, the marks left on the ground should be two groups of people walking past. The path that the first group of people came from was roughly the same as Yang Junshan, and they should also be from Fangshi Town. The other group of people were obviously coming from the south.

However, what made Yang Junshan curious wasn't that these two groups of people were heading in the same direction after crossing this path, but that they were following the group of people in front of them.

Ha, could it be that he had run into the evil side of a fugitive cultivator in the swamp?

However, Yang Junshan obviously wasn't interested in trying to interfere. After walking along this path for a while, Yang Junshan realized that the reason why the last group was able to track the first group of people was not because they also had a tracking master like Yang Junshan. Instead, the first group should have a spy who left a very secret mark on the road.

On the rocks that were occasionally exposed in the swamp, Yang Junshan pulled out a piece of mud from above and took out a finger-nail sized fragmented stone from inside. This should be a tracer stone, and it was usually used by cultivators to prevent them from getting lost.

However, they didn't pick up the stone after following the mark, instead, they smashed it with their feet. They never thought that in the eyes of a tracking master like Yang Junshan, this was also an obvious sign.

After walking in this direction for a while, Yang Junshan turned around and headed in another direction. He was getting closer to the snake pond, and more and more mud snakes were attacking him along the way. The mud snakes coming out of the swamp were getting bigger and fiercer.

Gradually, there came the sound of splashing and crackling from the distance, like a river rushing down, the sound of rushing water splashing and splashing against the rocks of the river.

As Yang Junshan walked in, the noise became louder and louder until he finally reached a huge rock in the middle of the swamp. He slowly stretched out his body from behind the rock and looked at the scene in front of him.

Even though this wasn't the first time Yang Junshan had seen Snake Pond, he still felt his scalp tingle whenever he saw it again.

These mud snakes were all coiling around each other, swimming around, whipping, playing, fighting, and bustling with each other in the pond. At every moment, countless mud flowers would fly up into the air along with the movements of the mud snakes, and then fall down with a "hualala" sound. This was the sound that Yang Junshan had just heard; it was like the sound of rushing water.

Yang Junshan slowly walked along the edge of the quagmire in fear, afraid that he would alarm the tens of thousands of mud snakes in the quagmire. With his current strength, if he was chased by tens of thousands of mud snakes, he might not even be able to survive.

Some of them landed outside of the mud puddle, while Yang Junshan swam along the mud puddle, carefully checking the mud that flew out, to see if there were any specks of heavenly glaze mud in it.

Before Yang Junshan didn't have the strength to destroy tens of thousands of mud snakes in this pond, this method of accumulating more and more was actually the quickest method to collect the Heaven glaze mud, unless he could have heaven-defying luck and coincidentally found enough of the Heaven glaze mud in this swamp.

Hualala …

A clump of mud fell from the sky, splashing all over Yang Junshan's face. However, he didn't care about dodging, and didn't even care to wipe off the mud on his body, because Yang Junshan saw a clump of green mud falling on the ground and splashing everywhere. He quickly went over to take a look, and found that there was indeed quite a lot of Heaven's Glaze mud water in this clump.

Yang Junshan quickly collected the green water into a gourd he brought with him. After that, he also needed to precipitate, filter, and purify the water before he could use it to refine the low-rank spiritual material – Heaven Glaze.

A mud snake suddenly sprang out from the quagmire. Yang Junshan, who was extremely tense, dashed forward. The saber in his hand flashed, and beheaded the snake with a "Puchi" sound.

Yang Junshan didn't dare to use any magic, nor did he dare to inject any spiritual power into his weapon. He could only rely on his body's agility and strength to accomplish this.

Mud Snake was very sensitive to spiritual energy. Once Yang Junshan used the spiritual energy in his body to stir the spiritual energy, it could cause tens or even hundreds of Mud Snakes to rush out of the swamp at any time. And if he didn't kill the Mud Snake in time, more of his comrades would be summoned.

Yang Junshan carefully walked down from the hundred zhang wide bog and spent two hours beheading more than ten large and small mud serpents. He had only collected a tenth of the large gourd's amount of Heaven Glaze Muddy Water.

After a short break, Yang Junshan started to walk around the quagmire a second time. Just as he was halfway there, just as Yang Junshan was collecting a lump of mud water that just happened to fly out, three or four tangled mud snakes rolled out from the quagmire.

Yang Junshan realized that things were not going well, he didn't even bother to clean up Tianliang's muddy water, he immediately rushed forward and beheaded the four arm-thick mud snakes. But at this moment, the hair on Yang Junshan's back suddenly exploded, someone was ambushing him from behind!

Yang Junshan didn't care about the mud on the ground. He rolled away from a cold wind that blew past his back, and when he looked up, he instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. He turned around and ran without a second thought!

A 30 foot long giant mud snake appeared at the place where he had just collected the Heaven Glaze Mud Water. It was obvious that the cold wind just now was the tail of the snake sweeping over Yang Junshan, and now that Yang Junshan was running away, the snake's tongue in its mouth hissed loudly. The noisy "crackle" sound in the mud not far away suddenly stopped, and then a snake wave suddenly surged out from the mud pool, chasing after Yang Junshan.
