Chapter 213: The Swamp
In the forest on the outskirts of the imperial capital, figures were moving quickly among the trees.
«I can't go back to headquarters. So I'll expose everyone».
Leone stopped, and after determining the direction, she ran towards the swamps in the depths of the forest.
— Follow me if you have the guts, you bastard.
Leone gritted her teeth. She had been running for two hours, but the feeling of danger still lingered in her mind.
Two minutes after Leone ran away, Su Xiao was back at Leone's original spot.
He could only roughly determine Leone's direction. Since she was running away in a hurry, she didn't cover her tracks.
After examining the tracks and broken branches, he looked to the left...
After confirming the direction in which Leone had left, Su Xiao quickly followed her. He knew that the enemy had discovered him.
Right now, they were in the "prey and hunter" relationship».
However, who was the prey and who was the hunter was unknown.
Gradually moving forward, Su Xiao felt the air become moist, and the smell of rotten vegetation gradually began to thicken.
Feeling the softness of the ground, Su Xiao stepped into the quagmire.
— This... swamp?
As he pulled his foot out of the mire, he became more careful.
The swamp was a very dangerous place.
If he accidentally stepped in the wrong place and lost his balance, it would be the end of him.
This swamp could swallow up a hapless traveler in less than five minutes.
No matter how skilled a person was, if they were sucked into the swamp, they would eventually die.
Some people preferred to avoid the swamp, because they were well aware of how dangerous it was.
However, most of the swamps had a layer of dry soil on the surface, which was formed due to exposure to sunlight.
Sometimes the wind blew the leaves into the swamp, which eventually created a natural trap..
Su Xiao picked up a tree branch that was five or six meters long, and this branch was about the same thickness as a human hand.
Holding onto a branch with one hand, Su Xiao began to carefully observe the swamp.
If a person got into a swamp, then in order to survive, he had to find a long branch.
Although he looked a little funny, as he held a long branch in his left hand and a sword in his right, it didn't matter, for his life depended on that branch.
At one point, the ground was too unstable under his foot, and Su Xiao's foot fell into the swamp.
Immediately, Su Xiao felt like he was being sucked in, and in just an instant, both of his feet were in the swamp.
After sticking the sword into the ground, Su Xiao bent down with his whole body and pulled himself out of the swamp, but his shoes remained in the swamp forever, plus his feet were covered in mud.
Su Xiao looked displeased. His enemy had chosen such a battlefield...
— You'd better stay out of my way or I'll throw you in the swamp.".
After continuing to track the tracks, after about half an hour, a series of mud tracks appeared in his field of vision.
His enemy had also fallen into the swamp, but she seemed to have almost drowned in it.
Su Xiao became pleased when he saw this.
After walking forward a bit, Su Xiao realized too late that something was wrong.
*Bul!*
Half of Su Xiao's body ended up in the swamp.
— Yes fuck...
A moment later, Su Xiao struggled out of the swamp with great difficulty, and his face was red from anger.
The pursuit continued, and ten minutes later a red signal shell shot up into the sky ahead of him.
*Boom!*
The red signal shell exploded, leaving a colorful explosion in the air for the last time.
— Asking for help? Su Xiao quickly rushed in the direction where the signal shell was fired from. He saw the enemy after two minutes, but couldn't make out their appearance.
His enemy's entire body was covered in mud.
— Did I kill your relatives or friends? Leone asked immediately.
— No, " Su Xiao replied and threw the wooden stick away.
Leone bit her lips. — Since I didn't kill your relatives or friends, why did you pursue me?" Around the capital of the empire, around, in the forest and in the swamp... Just because I was staring at you?
— Leone, the main member of the Night Raid, Teigu-the king of animals, Lionel, was born in the slums, as a child she earned a living by stealing. At the age of fourteen, she began studying with an old monk from the temple. At the age of sixteen, she received a Teiga. At the age of seventeen, she joined the Revolutionary Army. At the age of eighteen, I became a member of the Night Raid." — I'm missing something?
Leone looked at Su Xiao blankly. Even she had forgotten some of this information.
Before entering this world, Su Xiao checked all the information that he remembered and wasn't sure about.
— In that case, we can only fight, " Leone wiped the dirt off her face and looked at him with the eyes of an enraged lioness.
— Oh, I can finally speak freely, "Su Xiao had spent the past two days doing nothing but saying "Hmm", "OK", " Got it».
A light blue energy appeared on the surface of the dragon flash...
After upgrading his sword, he didn't fight anyone at full strength. He didn't put much effort into fighting Esdes, and he only made two moves against the wolf.
Those two moves naturally couldn't reveal the increased power of the dragon flash.
The sword blade roared, and in less than a second, Su Xiao appeared in front of Leona.
Su Xiao's agility was now at 24 points, however, he wasn't very fast in Leona's eyes after she became a beast.
The long blade sliced through the air, and blue light flashed... Leone subconsciously attacked the long blade with her claws, just like she usually did.
Leone's claws were very hard, and even many Teigus couldn't harm them.
The sharp blade of the sword seemed to split the air apart.
When the claws almost touched the blade, Leone felt a tingling sensation.
The beast's instincts told her that she needed to retreat immediately.
But it was too late to retreat, and Leone could only try to block the blow.
When the dragon flash blade touched Leone's claws, the strong and sharp claws split into two parts.
*Pouf!*
Scarlet blood flashed in the air.
Half of the palm landed on the ground, and Leone took a few steps back, holding onto the severed palm.
— How can this be...
*Drip... drip...*
Blood dripped onto the withered leaves.
