49: Chapter 49 It's okay, I'll try harder next time.

Upon hearing this, Fang Wenqian took out her antidote and downed two more bottles.

Although she was only here for training, Fang Wenqian had prepared plenty of antidote just in case.

Because this was a Purgatory-grade Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm, the poisonous mist was significantly stronger than that of a normal-grade realm.

To be safe, Fang Wenqian simply drank two bottles of antidote at once.

Afterward, the two of them continued on their journey.

After walking for who knows how long, Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian stopped in their tracks once again.

On the path ahead, several long, slender, and ferocious-looking Poison Marsh Crocodiles were huddled together, resting.

Their attributes were also laid bare before Tang Mo.

【 Poison Marsh Crocodile 】

【 Level: 25 】

【 Talent: Giant Strength 】

【 Strength: 41360 】

Splash~ Splash~ Splash~ Sounds kept emerging from the swamp.

The Poison Marsh Crocodiles lying on the path sensed the movement of their kind and raised their heads one after another; upon seeing Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian, they immediately became energized.

They all crawled toward the two of them.

Tang Mo continued to have the Highly Poisonous Skeleton guard Fang Wenqian, while he himself went to meet them.

These Poison Marsh Crocodiles did not have any special skills and could not inflict any damage on Tang Mo.

Without waiting for these Poison Marsh Crocodiles to get any closer to the Giant Skeleton and Fang Wenqian, Tang Mo launched an attack directly.

Highly Poisonous Vines shot out directly from the poisonous swamp, instantly binding several Poison Marsh Crocodiles tightly.

However, these Poison Marsh Crocodiles had surprisingly great strength and easily broke free from the binding of the vines.

Tang Mo then began to cast Poison Rain.

Earlier, when fighting the Poison Thunder Eel, Tang Mo hadn't used this large-area offensive skill because he was afraid of electrocution.

Although Tang Mo wasn't afraid of it, he was worried about hurting Fang Wenqian.

After all, this was a Purgatory-grade Secret Realm, and these ferocious beasts had all awakened their bloodline powers; their damage could not be underestimated.

But now, these Poison Marsh Crocodiles didn't have any electrocution skills, so there was no need to worry about the issue of electrocution.

Above the sky, black rain instantly shrouded the entire area and mixed into the swamp.

How could the Poison Marsh Crocodiles in the swamp know that the poisonous swamp at this moment was no longer the one they were familiar with.

The water in the swamp and the black rain flowed through the gaps in the Poison Marsh Crocodiles' mouths and entered their bodies.

The damage that struck directly at the depths of their souls left the Poison Marsh Crocodiles with no way to defend themselves; at first, they didn't feel anything.

But as the layers of poison accumulated more and more, the Poison Marsh Crocodiles' health dropped faster and faster.

By the time they finally swam close to the Giant Skeleton Soldier, their health was already bottoming out.

The Giant Skeleton Soldier brandished its huge weapon and performed a direct sweep, killing the approaching Poison Marsh Crocodiles instantly with a single blow.

In an instant, the swamp was filled with the long, slender corpses of the Poison Marsh Crocodiles.

As for those Poison Marsh Crocodiles that went for Tang Mo, they didn't even manage to touch the corner of his clothes before they died directly in the poisonous swamp.

With Poison Rain, dealing with these ferocious beasts living in the water was simply too easy.

【 Killed Level 25 Poison Marsh Crocodile, EXP +112103, Poison Damage +1, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1 】

【 Obtained Poison Marsh Crocodile Skin * 1 】

【 Killed Level 25 Poison Thunder Eel, EXP +112103, Poison Damage +1, Stamina +1, Spirit +0.1 】

【 Obtained Tendon * 1 】

Poison Marsh Crocodiles mainly dropped skins and tendons. Tang Mo knew these were materials that could evolve skills, but he didn't know which skills they would evolve.

Still, whatever, as long as they could be sold, that was fine.

After spending about an hour, the swamp returned to calmness once again.

There were no more Poison Marsh Crocodiles moving about to be seen. Occasionally, one or two would dive into the swamp, but they probably wouldn't last much longer.

Tang Mo's experience points saw another significant increase. He had now reached Level 21, 50%.

After two fierce battles, the Highly Poisonous Skeleton's stamina had hardly decreased; it was still holding up very well.

Fang Wenqian sensibly downed two more bottles of antidote. Judging by her bitter expression, it wasn't hard to tell that the taste of this antidote was truly not great.

Fang Wenqian hurriedly took out the compressed food she had prepared, wanting to wash away the taste in her mouth.

Watching her eat with such relish, Tang Mo simply took out his own food as well. Come to think of it, after two major battles, Tang Mo was actually a bit hungry.

Anyway, there were three days of time, so there was no rush.

At this moment, in the Leize Hall, people had already started to emerge from the Secret Realm one after another.

"Sigh! I thought I could last a bit longer this time. Who would have thought that I still couldn't even pass the first level."

A Professional walked out from the entrance of the Secret Realm, dejected. Following behind him were his teammates, each of them equally dejected and listless.

"It's okay, try harder next time."

After receiving the report from his subordinates, the curator of Leize Hall, Deng Song, had been guarding the entrance of the Secret Realm. But seeing these Professionals who were eliminated so quickly, he still gave them comfort with a smile.

However, such words were clearly unable to comfort these eliminated Professionals. Especially the male Professionals, who couldn't stand being eliminated so quickly after entering.

On the other side, Zhang Bin was fighting hard in a Difficulty-grade Secret Realm with his newly formed team. Although the battle was intense, fortunately, there was no major danger.

Relying on his six summoned beasts and four teammates, Zhang Bin and his team were trading blows with the ferocious beasts. Even Zhang Bin himself was holding his staff and throwing fireballs into the pile of ferocious beasts.

After resting for about half an hour, Tang Mo and Fang Wenqian set off again. They didn't move very fast, to prevent any ferocious beasts they might have missed from launching a surprise attack on them.

Just like that, they walked until nightfall, and they didn't encounter another ferocious beast.

Tang Mo looked up at the sky of the Secret Realm, then glanced at his watch, and only then did he discover that the time in the Secret Realm was exactly the same as the time in reality.

Tang Mo turned and looked at Fang Wenqian, swallowing the words that had already reached his lips.

Fang Wenqian was not only used to Tang Mo, who didn't like to talk much, but she could even guess what he was thinking.

Seeing Tang Mo look at her, she smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I'm still fine, let's continue on our way."

Tang Mo nodded.

Tang Mo had originally thought that three days would be plenty of time. But only now did he realize that he had completely underestimated the scope of this Secret Realm.

If they could continue like they did at the beginning, encountering Poison Marsh Crocodiles shortly after the Poison Thunder Eel, Tang Mo perhaps wouldn't be so anxious.

But now that they had been traveling for a long time without discovering any other ferocious beasts, it was enough to show that the area of this Secret Realm was not small.

Moreover, in this kind of environment, even if Tang Mo wanted to sleep and rest, he couldn't find a place to set up a tent, so he could only continue walking forward.

Relying on the perception of the Poison Barrier, even the dark night could not affect the direction of Tang Mo's advance.
