C2656 Black Scroll
2According to the route taken, the four of them would have to pass through a dense marsh forest. The forest was barren and the waters were not abundant. There were poisonous and ferocious beasts everywhere.
Shen Aoleng did not bring any heavy soldiers to protect the Holy Maiden, because there was only one ending for the several thousand Taoism s that passed through the swamp forest — the total annihilation of the army.
Thus, the task of escorting the Holy Maiden was handed over to Shen Aoleng and the others.
Along the way, they were filled with savage Demonic Beast s, and the scariest part were the Wasteland Swallowing Jade Leaves that were hidden in swamps, lakes, and ancient trees.
These man-eating leaves had an extremely keen sense of smell and were very good at concealment. Before they had a chance to react, they would attack a warrior and be devoured alive.
The number of man-eating jade leaves was also more astonishing than one could imagine. They were everywhere that could not be seen. Once the thick vines wrapped around a martial artist, they would first strangle him, and then nibble at him.
Shen Aoleng walked at the front cautiously and was responsible for clearing the way for them.
Zhu Ranndan had the strongest cultivation. He was responsible for following the Holy Maiden closely. As for the barbaric Sima Taiyan, he remained at the rear position, keeping an eye on the danger that might happen from behind.
On the other hand, Ling Qinghan acted as if she was completely heartless as she excitedly walked in the bog filled with a dangerous aura and was extremely happy!
"Hah hah."
A sickening, salivating sound rang out from afar. At a certain moment, a man-eating jade leaf with sharp thorns suddenly shot out like a bolt of lightning, and suddenly tore at the few people present!
The direction that it was heading towards was the front, which was the direct opposite of Shen Aoleng.
Shen Aoleng didn't smile at all. He reached out his hand to tell everyone to stop, while his right hand touched the handle of his knife.
It was also impossible to see how he made his move. With a flash of the Cold Knife tip, the man-eating leaf's gigantic head fell powerlessly, and thick green blood splattered all over the ground.
The disgusting blood splattered towards Zhu Ranndan and Ling Qinghan. Zhu Ranndan's index finger nimbly turned, and a cluster of flame shot towards the mucus. The moment it came into contact with the mucus, it directly melted them all.
Shen Aoleng turned around and cupped his fist, "I've scared Miss Holy Maiden."
Zhu Ranndan also said, "Is Miss Holy Maiden alright?"
The two of them were a little nervous. If they didn't handle the situation well, they would be punished by Grand Princess.
Ling Qinghan was speechless. These people were protecting her as if they were protecting a child, making her feel extremely bored.
Ling Qinghan let out a mischievous smile as she suddenly spread out her arms in a posture that resembled the rain praying for her.
Seeing this, Shen Aoleng and the others had a serious expression.
Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour. Shen Aoleng and the others felt chills all over their body. They understood that this was a method used by the Holy Maiden.
Countless people hiding in corners, bushes, and the man-eating leaves near the lake began to scream miserably.
As one might imagine, this was not the kind of sweet rain that they had not seen in a long time.
Before long, the rain had subsided. Ling Qinghan smiled as she stopped. The sun was bright in the sky and a warm light was spreading throughout the land.
"This is more like it, it can also save us a lot of trouble."
Ling Qinghan held the ancient black scroll tightly behind her back and happily set off on her journey.
Shen Aoleng quickly followed.
Sima Taiyan and Zhu Ranndan were not surprised. If looking at cultivation level, the Holy Maiden seemed to be on par with Zhu Ranndan.
"What a terrifying Immortal Genius." Sima Taiyan muttered and followed him.
Along the way, the danger was reduced by a lot. It was about six hours, but they didn't encounter any danger.4
Along the way, Ling Qinghan always took care of the ancient scrolls behind her back, which attracted their attention.
Zhu Ranndan asked with a smile, "What great treasures did Miss Holy Maiden carry in her ancient scrolls?"
