Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: The Monster Beneath the Earth

Looking at Hua Jieyu’s face filled with happiness, you couldn’t help but laugh and shake your head.

After driving for three days in the Misty Forest, you discovered that the road marked on the map suddenly turned into a mucky swamp, which surprised you because the swamp seemed like it had formed recently. The surrounding vegetation was somewhat disorderly, and there were occasionally some broken trees in the swamp, from which branches you could tell that several trees had been broken just a few days ago.

"What should we do now?" Hua Jieyu asked as she looked at you.

"There’s no other way, this route is the shortest one to Jugong City, and our carriage can’t go up the mountain range ahead anyway. Since this is the case, let’s continue on foot from now on."

"Mm, I’ll listen to you."

You only had Hua Jieyu prepare some essential items, leaving everything else in the carriage. Although Hua Jieyu was dissatisfied with this, she didn’t show it on her face. After all, she was aware that there were many unknown dangers ahead, and this made her even more excited.

"Perhaps this is the nature of a heroine," Hua Jieyu encouraged herself.

"Jieyu, this place is a bit strange, hold on to the little one and stay close, don’t stray more than two meters away from me if we encounter danger."

"Mu Yun, don’t worry. Although I’m not as strong as you, I’m still quite skilled, and I can handle small troubles by myself."

Hua Jieyu was very confident in her abilities. These past few days, she had sparred with you several times. You, not wanting to hurt her, held back a lot, and she couldn’t bring herself to strike you hard, so the bouts were just formalities, more like practice than serious fighting. If it were a matter of life and death, the outcome would be uncertain.

"Let’s go then." You carried the large bag that was originally in the carriage, and Hua Jieyu, holding Little Fire Wolf, followed closely behind with the smaller bag you bought in Gordon City.

Since there was practically no road under your feet, much of the time you and Hua Jieyu had to rely on your agile skills to leap forward.

The swamp was vast and you felt a growing sense of crisis as you advanced, which only intensified.

"Mu Yun, look, there’s a carriage over there!" Hua Jieyu exclaimed, pointing to a damaged carriage not far away.

"Stay here and don’t move, I’ll go check it out."

After a few leaps, you landed firmly next to the carriage. The body of the carriage was severely damaged, the roof seemed to have been neatly sliced off by some sharp weapon, and the front was scattered with various small household items.

"Mu Yun, be careful!"

At that moment, a huge dark shadow appeared about ten meters to your side with a burst of mud and water shooting up into the air.

Before you could react, the dark shadow suddenly opened its huge mouth, and a water arrow made of mud shot straight at you.

"Boom!"

You dodged to the side, the thick mud water column missing its mark, striking the ground where you had just stood and creating a deep crater, splashing water all around and soaking you completely.

There was no time to wipe off the water, as the dark shadow spit out several more mud water arrows at you. You tumbled in the air, also having to watch out for the swamp below, making your escape very awkward.

"I’m here to help you!"

Hua Jieyu pulled out her long whip and used it to wrap around a huge stone next to her, throwing the stone towards the dark shadow. After dodging the stone, the shadow dived into the marsh and did not reappear. Silence returned immediately around them, a deathly silence.

"What was that thing just now?" Covered in mud, you jumped beside Hua Jieyu and asked.

"I’m not sure, it came too fast and I couldn’t see clearly. But from its appearance, it kind of looked like some sort of a snake-like monster." Hua Jieyu held Little Fire Wolf tightly, who, sensing the monster’s presence, shook uncontrollably in fear of the monster’s aura.

"This monster is no trivial matter, it looks like this marsh is its handiwork. We need to move forward quickly, we can’t afford to delay here. Since the monster created this marsh, it shouldn’t be too large an area, let’s follow the straight line!"

Understanding each other’s thoughts, you immediately took the fastest leap forward. Hua Jieyu was a bit slower than you, and you, aiming to protect her, deliberately slowed down, also constantly watching your surroundings to covertly protect her.

Just as you both leaped into the air, about to land, a huge flow of mud and water violently shot out from a marsh on Hua Jieyu’s left. Its target was not you, but Hua Jieyu!

At that moment, Hua Jieyu could not dodge, and her beautiful face showed a terrifyingly shocked expression.

You let out an angry roar and instinctively hugged Hua Jieyu, turning your back to face the mud flow.

"Bang!"

You and Hua Jieyu were both sent flying by the mud flow, eventually landing heavily on a relatively flat ground. While landing, you made sure to turn so that your back took the impact again. The force was so great, you felt a ringing in your ears and your whole body ached.

However, at that moment, you were unconcerned with your pain and quickly checked on Hua Jieyu in your arms. Hua Jieyu’s face was as pale as paper, obviously shocked but otherwise unhurt.

Seeing Hua Jieyu safe, you felt slightly relieved. However, Hua Jieyu hugged you with tears brimming in her eyes, crying out, "Mu Yun, Mu Yun, are you okay?"

"Don’t worry, I’m not going to die yet." You coughed up some blood and struggled to stand up. Fortunately, the monster did not continue its attack, offering you a moment to catch your breath.

"Mu Yun, why are you so foolish, you clearly could have..."

You gently covered Hua Jieyu’s lips with your hand, smiling, "Because you are the most important person to me. No one in this world can hurt you, including myself."

Hearing these touching words, Hua Jieyu melted completely, tears welling up as she gazed at you.

"Wow!"

While the two of you were lost in the moment, the monster suddenly burst out of the ground three meters away from you both, its massive body, ten meters tall, left you and Hua Jieyu staring in shock.

Amidst the blur, you vaguely saw the monster emanating a holy, inviolable yellow light from its body.

"Obis Rachi! Is, is this a dragon?" You couldn’t help but moan.

"It’s an Earth Dragon!" Hua Jieyu too was extremely frightened, yet she managed to identify the monster’s species, "It’s a juvenile Earth Dragon!"
