Ferula sensed something and turned to look up at the sky.
“Mother!” Ferula was overjoyed when she recognized the figure in the sky.
“Are you tired? Do you want to go back and rest for a while?” asked Su Wan as she hovered in the sky.
“I’m not tired at all. I want to become strong!”
Su Wan looked at her and felt a warmth spread in her heart.
Ferula was a child but had the body of a warlock. She seemed to pounce on Su Wan and hug her.
Su Wan dodged to avoid it.
Ferula realized that her strength was too overwhelming right now. “Mother, I’ll work hard to be able to control my powers. I’ll definitely be able to control how my body changes in the future!”
Su Wan felt sorry for her. She was already trying so hard.
Su Wan nodded and let Ferula continue on with the map. There were a few Night Devil Bees who followed her.
Ferula wasn’t in any danger for now.
When Ferula disappeared from sight, Su Wan flew in another direction.
Ferula was scanning her map, and so was Su Wan.
If a hero was stuck in one level for a long time, they gained new abilities after a breakthrough. Ferula would definitely be able to handle small strongholds and lairs. If she encountered anything dangerous, the Night Devil Bees would inform Su Wan.
Although the number of mineral veins spawning in the Death Swamp was pitifully low, there was no shortage of creatures and monsters. It was enough to farm for more EXP.
While Su Wan was busy sweeping the map to level up, somewhere above the Death Swamp, two Lords were excited about something.
They had finally arrived!
“The Death Swamp! We finally found it!” said the thin and skinny Lord.
The other Lord, who was a bit stout, appeared eager too. “Haonan, this time, we’ll definitely make a fortune. We might find treasures here for sure!”
He took out a relic. The map had instructions on it. It said that they were supposed to bury the relic in the Death Swamp and water it with blood. After that, the relic would lead them to the treasure.
The plump Lord took out a black human skull from the system space. It emitted an evil aura. He buried it under some sand. Then, he took out a vial of blood.
Just when he was about to upend the vial of blood, his companion stopped him. “I feel like something is wrong.”
“Are you scared?” asked the plump Lord.
The skinny Lord felt that this was going to turn disastrous.
“Look… we lost our territory and sacrificed all our troops to get here,” said the plump Lord furiously. “We can’t back out now!”
They didn’t have anything to go back to.
“I just meant that it’s a bit risky to pour it directly,” said the thin Lord. “Calm down. We just…”
However, the plump Lord had already upended the vial of blood on the buried relic. The blood bubbled and formed a small pit, revealing the black skull.
The plump Lord shook the vial of blood, pouring every last bit and threw the vial aside.
“We’ve reached here after great difficulty. What are you waiting for?” he looked at his companion.
The skinny Lord stared blankly at the small blood pit. His breath came in gasps and sweat beaded his forehead, “We’re in trouble.”
“What do you mean? This is the way to find that treasure! What trouble can a swamp cause us anyway?”
The ground churned under their feet.
“What’s going on?” asked the plump Lord.
“Let’s go! Now! This is a trap!” said the skinny Lord. He pulled his companion along.
The black swamp churned and began to sink. The suffocating pressure pressed down on them. It was as if a demon god from the abyss had descended. The two Lords ran as fast as they could. When they felt the suffocating aura, they instinctively turned around to look.
In the black swamp, the black skull had grown. It was now at least 100 meters in diameter. The black skull shook like a human waking up from a nap.
The Lords opened the attribute panel. Nothing was revealed. All attributes only showed a bunch of question marks.
The plump Lord was rooted to the spot in fear. If it wasn’t for his companion who was still pulling him along, he would’ve died there.
Fortunately, the huge black skull ignored them. It didn’t seem interested in those two Lords.
The Lords fled in relief. Just when they were about to stop to catch their breaths, they felt that the ground was strange.. The swamp was pulling them back toward the skull!
