That despicable, scheming woman, she actually disguised herself as an elf lady!

Late at night.

A light drizzle began to fall from the sky, and mist rose again over the entire swamp forest.

The evening breeze rustled through the bare branches and leaves, making the dense foliage whisper in the breeze.

At this moment, the woods were eerily quiet.

There were only faint footsteps, but they were drowned out by the intermittent chirping of insects.

Liu Huan looked at the tree shadows in the distance that were twisted into strange shapes, and the giant snake mountain that coiled in the middle of the road full of puddles and potholes.

The snake's body, as large as a small mountain and brimming with vitality, made him dare not even breathe, and all he could think about was caution.

When Nisha saw the swamp serpent a hundred meters away, its coiled body was ten meters high and more than thirty meters long, she couldn't help but tremble.

"This... this doesn't mean I have to deal with such a monster?!" Her throat bobbed, her voice hoarse.

Clearly, seeing such a behemoth for the first time had a profound impact on Nisa and Seth.

Gareth was also somewhat surprised. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the enormous body of this swamp serpent possessed immense power.

His strength has probably reached the late stage of level three!

Only adventurers at the Refining Realm can inflict substantial damage on it, so can these lowly soldiers really defeat this BOSS?

In another patch of bushes and grass.

Karen, the president of the Nebula Merchant Guild and the organizer of this campaign, suddenly regretted his actions after witnessing the true power of the Swamp Serpent!

Overdue goods can be compensated with gold coins, but one only has one life. Can they really defeat such a powerful monster?

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back; when the time comes, you have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it!

"Group one will draw the attention of the Swamp Serpent, group two will provide cover!"

"The rest of you, stand by!"

The voice just fell,

Several figures, as agile as serpents, quickly moved forward.

The five figures, clad in black, stopped fifteen meters in front of the Swamp Serpent and exchanged glances.

Looking at the enormous snake body in front of them, which seemed to be the size of a small mountain, they couldn't help but swallow hard.

"action!"

One of them gave a low shout, and the short dagger in his hand flew towards the snake's body at lightning speed, tearing through the air and making a piercing explosion.

"Second team, cover!!"

As soon as the dagger left their hands, the wandering swordsmen didn't even dare to turn their heads and quickly retreated.

They sped away like lightning, disappearing in an instant.

As Liu Huan watched this scene, his hand involuntarily reached for the hilt of his sword, barely suppressing the urge to strike.

In the darkness, a flash of cold light swept across the body of the Swamp Serpent, and a short dagger whistled out, accompanied by sparks from the friction against the serpent's scales!

The sudden, intense pain clearly enraged the powerful monster in its sleep!

"Hiss—"

A loud hiss echoed throughout the swampy forest.

The swamp serpent coiled up, its forked tongue flicking like a sharp blade at a group of fleeing rangers.

A cold, merciless light flashed in its red pupils. Then, the snake's head lowered slightly, and its body writhed and twisted rapidly on the ground, its massive form destroying the trees blocking its path.

"Quickly!! Archers of group two, provide cover!!"

Karen broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this, but she couldn't help feeling excited.

The plan is proceeding smoothly!

Not far away, archers stood on the dense tree trunks.

Nisha suppressed her fear, took a deep breath, drew her bow and arrow, and squinted her left eye.

The bow was bent like a full moon, the taut bowstring trembled slightly, and the air vibrated.

The armor-piercing arrows flew like thunderbolts, carrying boundless power as they hurtled towards the enemy.

After Nisha fired the arrow, a sudden realization dawned on her, and a smile crept onto her face: "It's done!"

In mid-air, dozens of armor-piercing arrows shot towards the Swamp Serpent, like a mini meteor shower.

Surprisingly, this only caused it moderate damage.

In the end, it not only failed to stop the snake in the slightest, but also triggered the hidden brutality of the Swamp Serpent, making it even more enraged.

hiss--

"Help!!!"

Those rangers in the group who reacted a little slower and fell behind were now only a few meters away from the Swamp Serpent.

In the blink of an eye, it was swallowed whole by the swamp serpent with its gaping, bloody maw.

"Three groups, get ready!"

Arrows rained down, and soon followed by all sorts of magic, with fireballs and wind blades appearing one after another.

These did slow down the speed of the Swamp Serpent, but it still managed to reach the center of the expedition team and wreak havoc among the crowd!

Upon seeing this, Liu Huan couldn't help but take a half step back, and then saw Nisha returning with her lower lip tightly clenched.

"Get out of here! The Swamp Serpent has gone mad! Everyone else has run away!"

Upon hearing this, Gareth exclaimed in surprise, "What? Weren't we supposed to fight this demonic serpent together?"

After Nisha finished speaking, she shot off into the distance like a nimble cheetah, continuing without turning her head, "The president of the Nebula Merchant Guild has already fled, and now their army is in complete disarray!"

Liu Huan reacted extremely quickly. The moment Nisha turned around, he slipped away and began to run.

He quickly realized what Nisha had said.

In a clearing not far away, the swamp serpents were wreaking havoc, a foul wind sweeping through the entire forest, and cracks appeared on some of the serpent scales, from which blood seeped out.

It's unclear whether this is the blood of a demonic serpent or human blood.

The swamp serpent's tail, resembling a giant black whip, swept across the area, causing rocks to fly everywhere and the earth to crack.

Many adventurers and mercenaries were caught off guard and had their bodies shattered by falling rocks or their bones crushed by whips.

There were also some unfortunate creatures wailing as they were swallowed whole by the bloody maw of the Swamp Serpent.

The entire swamp forest was transformed into a hellish place in an instant!

Just as Liu Huan's squad was preparing to flee, a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared from the nearby woods.

Before that, two beams of cold light shot out.

"clang!!"

Liu Huan and Gareth each blocked the arrows that flew from the shadows.

"Excellent, truly excellent!"

Andrei led the Venomous Fang Squad, a total of seven people, out of the shadows.

Gareth's eyes widened as he saw it was the infamous Venomous Fang squad from Maple Leaf Town: "Andrei, what do you mean by this?!"

"Huh? Gareth?" Andrei suddenly felt a bit uneasy when he saw that Liu Huan's captain was actually Gareth.

Gareth's strength has reached the second stage of Bone Forging, and Andrei is at roughly the same level, having reached the first stage of Bone Forging.

But Gareth is a berserker who wields both axe and hammer, possessing astonishing combat prowess. In comparison, Andrei is merely an ordinary adventurer.

But winning or losing is far from that simple. When the strengths are similar, the role of the team becomes much more important!

Each member of the Venom Fang Squad is a seasoned adventurer with the strength of the Blood Awakening Realm, and they work together seamlessly.

From this perspective, Liu Huan and his men have no chance of winning!

"Garres, this is none of your business. I need to talk to that kid!"

Everyone followed Andrei's finger and was shocked to find that he was pointing at Liu Huan.

Liu Huan was just a novice adventurer, how could he have gotten involved with the Poison Fang Squad, who were like sticky rocks?

Gareth didn't care about any of that. He roared, "Are you crazy? The Swamp Serpents are about to attack, and you're still worrying about this little thing?!"

"I don't care about any of that. Our Venom Fang squad's motto is: revenge is a must, and we never delay!"

"Either you hand over this brat, or you'll all be buried with him! I think the Swamp Serpent is about to attack!"

As time passed, the group could even smell a stench coming from afar, and the gravel on the ground was trembling slightly.

Gareth's expression was unpredictable; the Venomous Fang squad was a bunch of lunatics and desperados.

Everyone in town knows they are a group of adventurous people walking the edge, but no one can stop them.

Because the Venom Fang squad is smart enough to never mess with the wrong people!

Clearly, in their eyes, Liu Huan was a sheep to be slaughtered!

Andrei was filled with regret when the sheep escaped last time, but now the ducks that had flown away are being fed back to him, which is a wonderful surprise!

While Gareth hesitated, Seth didn't care about anything else.

Seeing the swamp serpent rapidly approaching from behind, he screamed, "Captain, don't think about it! That swamp serpent is about to attack!"

"It's better for one person to die than for the entire army to be wiped out!!"

Nisha looked reluctant upon hearing this.

Looking at Liu Huan's calm face, she found herself in the same predicament as Gareth, wondering whether or not to abandon Liu Huan.

Finally, Liu Huan came to their rescue, saying with a pursed mouth, "Captain, you two go first, I'll stay behind to cover your retreat!"

"Really?!"

"real!"

Gareth turned and stared intently into Liu Huan's eyes until he saw the smile on the other's lips, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, Liu Huan!"

"I swear, if anything happens to you, I will not let the Venomous Fang Squad get away with it!"

After saying that, he glared at Andrei, turned around and left quickly!

Clearly, Gareth knew that leaving Liu Huan alone meant certain death.

But the frustration in my heart just had to be expressed.

Liu Huan stroked the sword at his waist, watching the temporary squad gradually disappear into the distance, and suddenly said something that caught everyone off guard.

"Are you all ready?! Are you going to shine my shoes?!"
