I really became a king.

Chapter 245 The mantis stalks the cicada
Jiang Yi was quietly lurking on the tree. The alien warriors came closer and closer until they were within a few meters of the Black Water Swamp and then stopped.

The tree where Jiang Yi was hiding was ten meters away in the Black Water Swamp. The distance between the two sides was only about twenty meters. Jiang Yi could hear the conversation between the several people clearly.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but marvel once again at the exquisiteness of "Nine Nines Return to One Secret", as he was able to hide himself perfectly at such a close distance.

It is quite suitable for assassination, but it can only be a wait-and-see assassination, after all, the Guiyi Jue does not really make you invisible.

"I heard that the Sixth Prince has sent a message to recall the Venerable Hundred Ghosts. The treasure should be unearthed in the next few days." One person answered.

"Where do you think he will be born?" another person asked in a low voice.

Several people shook their heads, and the first person said hesitantly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be on Leiyin Mountain behind the camp, otherwise the Sixth Prince would not have focused on guarding that area."

"That should be the case. It is said that once entering the Yinshan Secret Realm, Venerable Hundred Ghosts went up to Leiyin Mountain alone. I'm afraid he was setting up the Hundred Gu Formation in advance."

“Not necessarily. Our camp area, except for Leiyin Mountain, is surrounded by dangerous places on the other three sides. It is impossible for anyone to enter or leave. The Sixth Prince and Venerable Baigui may have done this to confuse outsiders, or to prevent outsiders from entering the treasure-unearthing area from Leiyin Mountain…”

"No way. The Yinshan Secret Realm is so large, the chance of an outsider breaking in is very small."

"That's the theory. I won't talk about Fenglei Daojun, since he is on the other side of this swamp after all. But the masked man who stole the map still broke in."

"If you ask me, the place where this thing was born is probably in this swamp..." said one of the alien warriors who had been silent the whole time. After looking around to see if there was anyone else, he continued:
"Just yesterday, I saw the Venerable Hundred Ghosts appear outside this swamp, his eyes fixed on the swamp..."

"Impossible. The Venerable Hundred Ghosts has been sent by the Sixth Prince to hunt down the Wind and Thunder Sword Lord. How could he appear here?" The first man questioned.

The man who spoke first did not say anything else, but just smiled mysteriously. Instead, another person said, "Don't you know what kind of personality the Sixth Prince has? Besides, Venerable Baigui is not like us. He is not bound by the Baiyue Dynasty. He is a free man. I'm afraid he will not listen to the Sixth Prince on this trip to the Yinshan Secret Realm."

"Besides, no one can be blamed for the loss of the map. Now, everyone is trying to push all the responsibility away... If I were the Venerable Hundred Ghosts, I would also be reserved. After all, this rare treasure is the most important thing on this trip..."

Several people started talking there, and Jiang Yiquan listened to it. Especially when he heard that the Lord of Hundred Ghosts might be nearby, he immediately became alert. He didn't want to face a top-notch martial artist of the eighth level.

Moreover, he also had a vague feeling that the place where the treasure was unearthed might really be in this Black Water Swamp.

At this moment, the people outside suddenly fell silent. Jiang Yi looked over curiously, their eyes looking towards somewhere in the Black Water Swamp, their breathing heavy, their faces full of greed.

Jiang Yi followed their gaze and found that it was a strange fruit. Apart from this fruit, there was nothing else on the tree, which was more than one meter high, not even leaves.

Seeing this fruit, Jiang Yi couldn't help but be moved. This fruit has become a "realm fruit". After people in the upper three realms eat it, they can directly break through to a realm.

Although people at the seventh level and above cannot break the mirror after eating it, they will gain many insights, which will be beneficial to the improvement of their future levels.

During the journey, Jiang Yi had seen too many rare treasures and had become numb to them. He had no intention of searching for treasures because he knew he could not take them away.

So it wasn't until the eyes of several people outside the swamp attracted him that he saw this realm fruit. "Do you want to try it?"

Looking at the realm fruit within reach, one of them was eager to try it. The temptation of the realm fruit was too great. Once obtained, one could directly break through to the seventh realm of martial arts and truly become a strong person.

The rest of the people also looked eager to try, and carefully explored the blackwater swamp within their sight, as if to confirm whether there were any risks.

After all, the distance was too close, only a few dozen meters. For a martial arts expert at the sixth mirror, a round trip was just a blink of an eye.

Jiang Yi turned his head and took a look at the huge flesh worm that had half of its body exposed just a few dozen meters away, and seemed to be thinking about something.

This black water swamp was indeed a strange place. If he was not mistaken, the people outside the swamp could see the flesh worms in the swamp, because just after the few people appeared, the giant flesh worms had stood up their huge bodies several times to hunt.

If a few people saw the fleshworm's teleporting speed of hunting, they would never dare to have such greedy thoughts again.

"Then let's give it a try!" another person gritted his teeth and took out a ball of filaments from his arms. He continued, "This is a tough silk that can resist the corrosion of the black mist in the swamp." After that, he looked at the other people.

Several people understood what he meant. It was nothing more than using the thin thread to tie a person up, and having that person go in to pick the realm fruit. After succeeding, he would follow the thin thread out, and in this way, he would not get lost in the swamp.

It's a very crude method, but it's the most effective way to prevent yourself from getting lost in the swamp and not being able to find a way out.

Jiang Yi shook his head secretly. If there were no huge flesh worms, this method would be feasible simply because of the fear of getting lost. But with the flesh worm, the overlord of the swamp, around, it would not work at all.

Several people looked at each other, their attitudes somewhat wavering, because this would require one of them to take the risk and enter the swamp.

They didn't know what was in the swamp, but they knew there were many rare treasures. It was said that someone couldn't resist the temptation and went in, and never came out again.

In the secular world and even in the entire secular sect, everyone knows the existence of this swamp, but no one dares to enter it. Even every time they enter the Yinshan Secret Realm, they will move the landing point away from the swamp, for fear that their subordinates will not be able to resist the temptation and cause unnecessary casualties.

Only the Baiyue Dynasty has set up its camp nearby over the years, with the purpose of obtaining those two precious treasures.

"Well, I'll go. I'm going to die anyway..." After a moment of silence, one of the white-bearded old men spoke up.
"We have been friends for many years, but we should make some things clear. My cultivation has not progressed and my life span is coming to an end. Only by breaking through the seventh realm can I extend my life span by several decades." The old man's face was ashen, like a dying man. He glanced at them and continued:

"If you succeed in picking the Realm Fruit by chance, I want half of it!"

The others looked at each other and nodded in agreement. After all, the other party was risking their lives.

Moreover, when it comes to the sixth mirror, although a whole realm fruit is required to break through to the seventh realm 100%, for them, even if they can have a bite, it is a great opportunity. If they spend more time, the seventh realm will be a natural thing.

Jiang Yi looked at the fleshworm that was half-stretching its body in the air and staring at him hungrily, and sighed inwardly.
