Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Vortex of Mud!

"Everyone, follow me now!" Tang Zhong led at the front.

The members of the White Tiger Squad were out of options, so they immediately followed behind.

Surrounding them was still the vast expanse of snow.

If everything went as expected, the correct direction should be to the southwest; they just needed to start walking that way now.

Tang Zhong’s heart was also uneasy.

He feared they might take the wrong path.

After all, if a spatial anomaly like folding space could occur, who knew what other strange events might happen!

Now that they were getting closer to that place, they had to be even more careful; a single weird mishap could mean losing their lives.

But as they walked, the snow around them seemed to thin out considerably, to the point that their feet no longer felt snow beneath them.

Then, a white fog began to rise up ahead.

Visibility was virtually nil.

But Tang Zhong could feel that the "Blood Power" ahead was getting closer.

Which meant what they were looking for was right in front of them.

All they had to do was get through this foggy area.

However, soon Tang Zhong started feeling a sense of discomfort; with each step, his legs felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and this feeling had only just started, which probably meant that it was closely related to this area of fog.

"Be careful," Tang Zhong shouted, "Stay as close together as possible. If anything happens, grab onto each other. We can’t afford another incident!"

After what had happened near the Polar Stone, not a single person in the White Tiger Squad was speaking anymore; everyone was intently monitoring their surroundings.

Hearing Tang Zhong’s words, everyone huddled together tightly.

But there were still whispers, "How could so many strange things happen, there was nothing like this the last time we came here!"

"Don’t talk, focus!"

Tang Zhong was at the very front.

Suddenly, he heard a writhing sound.

It was similar to the squelching noise of a marshy swamp.

What on earth was going on?

Tang Zhong’s heartbeat quickened; it seemed they had left the ice field. If they could just pass through this fog, they should reach their destination, right?

This journey had truly been fraught with extreme dangers!

Ah!

Just then, a scream pierced the air.

In the middle of the huddled White Tiger Squad, someone seemed to have stepped on something, and a powerful suction force began pulling at their body, crushing them toward the ground.

The people around hurriedly grabbed the person to prevent them from falling in.

Because of the fog, they hadn’t been able to see clearly what was beneath their feet, but now, they saw it clearly—the person had stepped into a whirlpool swamp.

The powerful vortex was dragging them down towards the ground, and now both legs were caught.

The person trapped by the force began to panic, calling out to the others, "Quick... hold on to me!"

The people around mustered all their strength, refusing to let go.

But the power of the vortex was just too strong.

It started to twist the entrapped person’s legs.

Crack!

There was a clear sound of bones breaking.

Followed by screams of pain.

The vortex turned red with blood.

The person being sucked in turned extremely pale, devoid of any color.

"Save me, I don’t want to die!"

No one around let go.

But the suction force within the maelstrom kept increasing.

Every person’s forehead was covered with sweat, and those who were being sucked in had faces flushed red, withstanding the severe pain, they roared, "Quick... quickly cut off my leg, I want to live, I don’t want to die!"

Now, only by amputating the other person’s leg could they survive.

At that moment, Tang Zhong, wielding the Tang Sword, aimed at the person’s leg and chopped down.

With a crack, the leg was severed.

A large group of people grabbed the victim’s arms and dragged them out, just to see the sucked-in leg lacking the strength to resist, falling into the maelstrom, as if crushed by a millstone, emitting crackling sounds.

The person with the amputated leg fainted from the pain, and quickly someone applied medicine to stop the bleeding.

Though they were without a leg, at least they were alive.

In an instant, the entire place fell silent, filled with the sound of heavy breathing, as people stood still, not daring to move, their bodies trembling.

Tang Zhong too was gasping for breath, having not expected the journey to be so perilous.

Success was now just ahead.

"Everyone be careful where you step, make sure not to step into the maelstrom!"

Tang Zhong shouted.

"Yes!"

White Tiger nodded in agreement.

He was now completely convinced by Tang Zhong, this young man seemed to possess a kind of magic, a potent leadership quality, along with lightning-fast decision-making.

These were qualities ordinary people simply did not have.

Now that they had come this far, there was only one path to the end; otherwise, it was still death.

White Tiger addressed the White Tiger Team directly, "All of you listen to my command, from now on, we must all follow the orders of Tang Zhong the General without exception, understand?"

"Yes!" the members of the White Tiger Squad responded in unison.

Then, White Tiger looked at Tang Zhong and said, "Tang Zhong, lead me and my men out of here!"

And with that, he bowed deeply!

They were left with no choice but a fight to the end, having come this far with no way out.

Had it not been for Tang Zhong, they might have come here and met an unknown fate, probably dying at the first narrow pass.

"No way, Protector White Tiger!" Tang Zhong hurriedly waved his hand. "I should be thanking you!"

If it weren’t for the news they’d brought, Tang Zhong wouldn’t have found such a powerful source of Blood Power. Anyway, this time he was determined to obtain it so that his parents’ ailments could be cured, and then he could live a fairy-tale life with Weiwei.

The very thought was exhilarating!

"Let’s go, as long as I, Tang Zhong, am alive, I’ll make sure you stay alive too!" Tang Zhong declared.

He led the way, continuously reminding the people behind him to be careful and to avoid stepping into nothingness.

Forward he went, listening for the sound beneath the ground, the noise of the swamp mud squelching.

He knew these were the sounds of underground maelstroms, and he just needed to avoid them, given his ability to hear in all directions.

The others followed behind.

Wherever Tang Zhong went, they would follow, moving step by step with their wounded.

And as they persisted,

the fog around them began to thin.

Which meant that the fog up ahead was dispersing.

Tang Zhong also clearly heard that the sound of underground maelstroms and swamps had diminished a lot, indicating that they were about to make it out.

"Brothers, quicken your pace, we’re about to make it out!"

The confidence of the others soared, and they hastened their steps toward the front.

Finally.

When they emerged from the last patch of dense fog,

a valley appeared in front of everyone.
