Chapter 1287

"Don't worry about anything else, let's get moving sooner rather than later. I'll head back first."

After finishing his sentence, Bass once again set off on his own path.

At this moment, Li Yue watched the other's retreating back, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and said no more.

His gaze turned toward his destination, and with a single step, his entire figure vanished instantly.

Ireland Bass, at this very moment, seemed to recall something and instinctively turned around, shouting, "Li Yue!"

But by the time he turned his head back, there was almost no trace of Li Yue in his line of sight.

Seeing this, Ireland Bass raised his hand to scratch the back of his head, then glanced at the medicine pouch strapped to his waist.

"Damn, I forgot to give him the medicine. But... judging by how his injuries are healing, he probably won't need it after all!?"

Ireland Bass shook his head, stopped overthinking, and continued walking toward his front door.

At this time, Li Yue's figure, like a flying bird, darted rapidly through the clouds.

After a short while, he quickly stopped at his current location and looked around.

"I remember the old man saying that after passing a swamp, I would reach my destination. Why haven't I seen any sign of a swamp yet?"

Li Yue frowned, scanned the surroundings, and still found no trace of a swamp.

That's not right. According to logic, the place I'm at now isn't too far from the destination the old man mentioned. Why haven't I seen the swamp yet? Could I have taken a wrong turn?

Puzzled, Li Yue had no time to think further and hurriedly descended from the half-sky toward the ground.

As he descended, he suppressed his aura very well to avoid attracting the attention of ordinary people.

As he landed, he heard a commotion.

Huh? What's going on? Why do I smell a scent of blood?

Li Yue's brows tightened, and he immediately hid himself in a corner beneath a large tree.

Curious in his heart, why would there be a smell of blood in such a place?

So, Li Yue directed his gaze toward the distance.

At this glance, Li Yue was utterly astonished.

In his eyes, the original swamp area had lost its earthy color.

In its place lay a muddy swamp dyed blood-red.

The mud in the swamp was very dark, as if stained by blood.

Of course, this was not the most terrifying part; what was terrifying was that there were several people in the swamp, panicking and trying to run out.

But the mud beneath their feet trapped them like shackles. "Run, run! There's a monster!" they kept screaming, struggling desperately.

But in this state, no matter how hard they pulled, they had absolutely no way to escape the cage-like mud beneath their feet; instead, it only drained their strength faster and increased their body weight continuously.

Seeing this scene, Li Yue couldn't help but frown slightly.

A monster? What monster?

Just as Li Yue was pondering, he suddenly sensed something abnormal. His expression changed drastically, and his body turned slightly to look behind him.

Behind him, a huge snake had appeared at some unknown time.

This snake had three heads; one head bore sharp teeth, while the other two had holes on their foreheads, looking rather frightening.

On its tail, dozens of small tentacles waved continuously, appearing very terrifying.

Hiss! Hiss!

This was the sound of the snake flicking its tongue.

The instant Li Yue saw this snake, extreme horror surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but curse, "Holy shit."

This snake is too terrifying!

What the hell is this thing!

Holy shit, why am I so unlucky? I actually ran into a snake?!

The instant he looked at this monster snake, Li Yue silently groaned in his heart.

He wasn't afraid of the snake before him, but was greatly startled by its sudden appearance.

Because this snake was simply too huge, almost like a mountain. Li Yue felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake, and then the snake's massive body burst out of the earth.

And Li Yue happened to be standing right on the snake; he felt his feet as if stepping on steel plates, unable to stabilize his center of gravity.

Li Yue's body slid rapidly across the ground as he tried to move away from the snake, away from its massive form.

Unfortunately, the moment he made a move, the three-headed snake immediately coiled its body, wrapping Li Yue up tightly.

Damn, no way? This is too ruthless!

While cursing, Li Yue's gaze fixed on the three-headed snake, which had already opened its huge mouth.

"Hehehe, damn it, I'm not going to let you eat me."

As he spoke, Li Yue's arm suddenly exerted force, and then an immensely powerful energy erupted from his body, instantly breaking free from the snake's coils.

Boom!

As Li Yue punched out, the three-headed snake immediately let out a scream of unbearable pain.

Immediately, the snake's huge body was suddenly blasted by Li Yue's punch several meters into the air, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Blood flowed from the three heads, instantly covering its entire body. At this moment, it writhed in pain, looking utterly miserable.

Only then did Li Yue finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily I acted fast; otherwise, I really would have been eaten."

At this time, the few people who were fleeing also noticed Li Yue's presence.

Even so, they continued to flee frantically.

"Run, run, we're going to die."

Don't worry about that guy, just run fast, don't let him catch up!

They shouted loudly.

Li Yue stood there, quietly watching the scene of this group fleeing in a disheveled state.
