299: Poison Swamp Secret Realm

“Select to enter the Secret Realm.”

Mu Feng glanced at the information of the other remaining light gates.

One of them was quite good.

However, after careful consideration, Mu Feng decided to directly enter the Poison Swamp Frog Secret Realm.

There were still about four hours until dark, and he had to hurry, otherwise he might not even be able to enter.

The crystal treasure chest was his main goal right now.

Other things could only be put aside for a bit.

Taking the little fox with him.

Mu Feng stepped into the Northwest Secret Realm.

“So smelly!”

As soon as he entered the Secret Realm space, an indescribable putrid stench assaulted Mu Feng’s nose.

Even with the poison avoidance pearl, it was incredibly foul.

Seeing how smelly it was, the little fox didn't even wait for Mu Feng's command and directly slipped into the spirit beast bag, unwilling to come out no matter what.

Mu Feng also wanted to enter the spirit beast bag.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

He could only endure the stench and release his Divine Sense to survey the surrounding environment.

The light gate exit was in the poisonous swamp.

Various animal carcasses were placed inside.

Some of them had sunk into the swamp, while others were stuck in the mud.

Those foul odors were emanating from these rotting corpses.

Even when Mu Feng tried to blow it away with a strong wind, he couldn't get rid of that smell, which was like sour socks left out for days or a dead rat in a sewer.

From the moment he entered until now.

Mu Feng’s brow had not relaxed.

“Be careful, the poisonous creatures in this swamp have already targeted you.”

Just as Mu Feng was surveying the swamp environment, a red danger alert suddenly appeared before his eyes.

“Hmm?”

The moment he saw the alert.

Mu Feng didn't even think.

He directly stepped into the air and dodged.

“Plop!”

Just as he maneuvered, a black shadow in the swamp lunged towards his previous position.

The black shadow was very fast.

Even Mu Feng’s Divine Sense, which was close to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, couldn't capture its appearance.

If he hadn't dodged in advance, he would have been successfully ambushed.

“Plop!”

Before Mu Feng could check the monster's information.

The black shadow in the swamp made another 'plop' sound and attacked him again.

Mu Feng quickly dodged.

Before he could figure out the opponent's information, he dared not take the damage head-on.

Who knew if these things had any special tricks?

It wouldn't be good if he accidentally died foolishly later.

“Go!”

Mu Feng dodged while releasing Azure Origin Sword Light to attempt an attack.

Unfortunately.

The opponent was too fast; before his sword light could even strike, the black shadow plunged back into the swamp with another 'plop'.

Without a target.

The Azure Origin Sword Light quickly dissipated into the air after a few swishes.

Seeing the black shadow jump back into the swamp.

Mu Feng immediately extended his Divine Sense into it, wanting to see what was ambushing him.

However, his Divine Sense was bounced back as soon as it touched the swamp.

“This swamp actually has the effect of blocking Divine Sense, this is troublesome.”

Mu Feng frowned.

Being unable to investigate the situation inside made him too passive.

This black shadow was fast and had a terrain advantage; it would indeed be a bit troublesome to deal with it.

“Puff, puff, puff!”

Just as Mu Feng was pondering how to pull the black shadow out, a large amount of incredibly foul-smelling black mud suddenly flew out from the swamp.

“Stop, forget it!”

Mu Feng subconsciously wanted to release the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket to block it, but he raised his hand halfway and then pulled it back.

These things were too smelly.

All sorts of foul and rotten odors.

If the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket got stained with these smells, he, a person with cleanliness issues, would probably die on the spot.

After all, the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket was always hanging on his waist.

The unpleasantness, Mu Feng felt his scalp tingle just thinking about it.

So, he reined himself in the moment he raised his hand and retracted the Treasure Dropping Flower Basket.

“Freeze!”

The moment he put away the basket.

Mu Feng flicked his palm, and large patches of white mist sprayed out from his palm.

“Plop, plop!”

As soon as the black mud touched the Cold Ice True Energy released by Mu Feng, it all froze into black ice cubes and fell back into the swamp.

The Cold Ice True Energy, after several upgrades, was still quite useful.

It could be considered a decent elemental Divine Ability.

“Right, I can freeze this entire swamp area, that way the opponent’s speed will definitely be affected!”

Seeing the faint frosty surface that appeared after the black ice cubes fell into the swamp, Mu Feng had a flash of inspiration.

He immediately went all out, scattering large amounts of white mist over the swamp.

Under the effect of the Cold Ice True Energy, a thick layer of ice formed on the swamp where Mu Feng was located.

Traces of cold Qi permeated the swamp.

“Huh, the smell seems to have lessened quite a bit.”

After being covered by ice, the foul odor in the air significantly alleviated.

This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

However, Mu Feng hadn't had time to be happy.

The entire swamp began to shake, bubbling with black water.

Immediately after, the frozen frosty surface began to crack inch by inch.

Needless to say, it must be the black shadow in the swamp causing trouble.

With the ice broken, the black shadow once again attacked Mu Feng at close range.

Before the sound arrived.

A sharp gale had already reached Mu Feng’s face.

This attack was so fast that Mu Feng couldn't even dodge.

Fortunately, his shield was always active.

“Crack!”

With a crisp sound, Mu Feng was flung away.

The Azure Origin Sword Shield he had set up earlier shattered directly.

However, after several enhancements to Mu Feng.

His Physical Body strength was stronger, not weaker, than Magic Treasure.

He was only sent flying backward; his body itself had no problems.

“Slap, slap, slap!”

The black shadow, having succeeded in one strike.

Began to quickly lash out at Mu Feng in the sky again.

At this moment, Mu Feng finally saw what had been attacking him.

“What is that, a tongue?”

Yes, a tongue.

A long black tongue.

“It seems it should be the Poison Swamp Frog that the System mentioned in the initial prompt.”

The moment he saw the tongue.

Mu Feng immediately thought of the prompt he had seen before entering.

It said there was a powerful Poison Swamp Frog inside.

At the time, Mu Feng didn't care.

Now it seemed, this thing was indeed troublesome.

It was fast, and its body was constantly hidden in the mud.

Many of his methods couldn't be used.

You could say, this thing really stumped him.

“Hiss, that really hurts.”

After being continuously beaten by the tongue, Mu Feng felt a burning sensation on his body.

No matter how high his defense, constantly taking hits was hard to bear.

It was fortunate that his defense was high enough, otherwise, it wouldn't just be a matter of pain.

Perhaps several layers of the Seven Treasure Bottle's defense would have to be used up.

“No, I need to find a way to force it out of the water, otherwise, constantly taking hits isn't a solution.”

Mu Feng dodged the Poison Swamp Frog's attacks while pondering how to force it out of the water.

“I got it!”

“Let's try the Sacrificial Thunder Art!”

The swamp was full of water.

If he released the Sacrificial Thunder Art to attack, it would surely force out the Poison Swamp Frog hiding in the swamp.

Thinking this.

Mu Feng immediately pulled out the Extreme Lightning Bottle, activating the lightning inside while quickly forming seals to cast the Sacrificial Thunder Art.

“Slap, slap, slap!”

However, the opponent didn't seem foolish either.

It seemed to have sensed Mu Feng's intentions.

The Poison Swamp Frog's tongue attacks became faster and faster.

Poisonous water also shot towards him from the surface of the water from time to time.

Facing such high-speed attacks, Mu Feng dared not be overconfident.

He had no choice but to give up on casting the Sacrificial Thunder Art.

He released the activated lightning.

However, the power of these lightning bolts was limited, and they couldn't force out the Poison Swamp Frog inside.

On the contrary, because he wanted to cast the Sacrificial Thunder Art, he took several more hits for nothing.

“I originally wanted to save some, but never mind.”

Mu Feng sighed.

He pulled out seven or eight purple Thunder Beads from his Storage Pouch.
