This is a psychological hint, a hint that strengthens each other's confidence.

If it was at this depth, he wouldn't be afraid of anything. He tried to take a few steps forward, and with some difficulty, Shen Hong had already caught up with him. He looked back at Shen Hong, and when he saw the sun shining on Shen Hong's face, he couldn't help but secretly admire this woman in front of him.

This was her and Meng Xiaodie's days alone together. These days were not many, being able to be alone with Meng Xiaodie was already enough for her. Even if it was a mountain of blades and a sea of flames in front of her, she would not be afraid even if she was about to die in the next moment.

Besides, with Meng Xiaodie around, she rarely worried about anything. It was almost as if he would always avoid danger in the nick of time. Walking into the quagmire for a few dozen meters, he realized that he was getting deeper and deeper. Some parts of him had already reached his waist, making it difficult for him to walk. Meng Xiaodie was in front, testing the depth of her feet with a tree stick, but was unable to find her way to the bottom in some areas. When she came across such a place, he reminded Shen Hong, but Shen Hong's foot slipped and his entire body fell down, sinking into a quagmire. The mud immediately covered his chest, and Meng Xiaodie hurriedly reached out her tree stick for Shen Hong's hand, causing Shen Hong to grab onto the tree stick in a panic.

Meng Xiaodie lowered her body, but she did not dare move her feet. She placed the tree branch on Shen Hong's hand and said loudly, "Miss Shen, don't panic. With me here, you will be fine. Right, grab the tree trunk and hold on tightly."

Shen Hong continued sinking as she watched. Her hand grabbed the tree branch that Meng Xiaodie had extended it toward. Meng Xiaodie circulated her inner force and slowly pulled Shen Hong up.

Shen Hong escaped from the quagmire and became a clay figurine. She leaned against Meng Xiaodie's body and panted heavily. She had a feeling of being able to escape. She felt that even if she fought with others for dozens of rounds, she wouldn't be this tired.

Shen Hong smiled at Meng Xiaodie, "I went through hell again."

Meng Xiaodie also laughed, "It's a pity that King Yama didn't want to take you in and sent you back."

"Maybe King Yama is afraid of you." Shen Hong subconsciously said.

Meng Xiaodie quickly glanced at Shen Hong. Seeing that her expression was one of complete ignorance, she turned around to look at the swamp in front of her. Shen Hong did not know that he was the Fairy White Crane in his previous life, and he did not want Shen Hong to know that he was a subordinate of the City Lord Sha Tianfeng. The City Lord of Mage City, Sha Tianfeng's identity was a mystery to him.

Meng Xiaodie was certain that Sha Tian Feng was willing to expend all his manpower to explore the underground castle. Moreover, he wanted to breach this castle to a large extent because of the Black Tiger Fairy. This conspiracy was only known to Sha Tian Feng, or perhaps he had an accomplice, the mysterious Night Spirit King.

Looking at Meng Xiaodie who was looking forward with a serious expression, Shen Hong also turned his face to the distance and said softly, "I wonder how far this swamp is?"

Meng Xiaodie retracted her gaze and smiled, "I don't think it will be far. This is just an illusion. It seems like the swamp is infinitely far. In fact, it is only a few dozen meters away."

Shen Hong rested for a while and recovered her strength. The two of them started to move forward again. Meng Xiaodie was still the one leading the way, little by little. Shen Hong followed closely behind. They walked for a few hundred meters before they stopped and looked up. Before them was still an endless swamp, and in the distance, the swamp was connected to the sky, not knowing which part was the sky and which part was the swamp.

Meng Xiaodie continued to use her tree branch to explore the road. The mud under her feet seemed to have thinned out a little, but she still felt that it was very sticky, as if someone was deliberately pulling on their clothes.

Blisters began to bubble up from below. It was unknown if it was the yin aura below that was rising up, or if the bubbles that appeared after they had stepped on it had formed gaps in the mud, but the bubbles that appeared caused Shen Hong to find it more and more difficult to walk on them. She found it strange that the mud here was so thin that it should have been easier to walk on, but now it was even harder to walk on it, as if there was something pulling at her from below.

Meng Xiaodie also felt strange, and her robe seemed to have been pulled a few times. The surrounding swamps began to release even more bubbles. These bubbles connected into a single piece and suddenly turned upwards. With a "hualala" sound, a strange head emerged from the swamps.

The monster's head was full of bumps, a pair of protruding eyes, its mouth was long and flat, its mouth was wide open, and two rows of sharp teeth could be seen from its mouth.

"It's a crocodile." Meng Xiaodie exclaimed.

He had seen crocodiles in the Yangtze River Basin before, but the crocodile in front of him was much bigger than the crocodiles there. Meng Xiaodie felt that the head of this crocodile was much bigger than the head of the crocodile in the entire Yangtze River Basin.

Shen Hong had never seen a crocodile before. She was frightened by the sight of this monster in front of her. This monster was too unsightly. The goosebumps on its bald head and back made her entire body go numb. Before she could regain her composure, more mud flew out of the mud and mud. With a "Hua la la" sound, another strange head was revealed, and soon after, there were sounds as dozens of crocodile heads appeared around Meng Xiaodie and Shen Hong.

Meng Xiaodie never thought that there would be so many crocodiles under their feet. No wonder their robes felt torn. However, these crocodiles didn't attack underwater, which made Meng Xiaodie feel incredible. The crocodile's mouth was very powerful, and if one were to be bitten by it, it would be very difficult to escape. Crocodiles of this size could even be bitten into pieces and swallowed.

Dozens of crocodiles floated up to the surface, causing Meng Xiaodie to be surprised. These crocodiles did not have four claws, but eight claws, each of them especially large. They floated on the surface of the swamp, just like small mountains.

They were in the mud, and their attack power was several times that of the land. As long as the two crocodiles bit into their prey in the water, they would spin back and forth in the water until their prey was twisted into a fried dough twist and torn in half. If they were on land, he would not be afraid of these crocodiles, but at the moment, they were in the swamp, and the mud itself was viscous, sealing off their freedom of movement. If they were to fight, he raised his black sword, and it would be hard for his zhen qi to circulate, so the power of his black sword would be greatly reduced. If the crocodiles were to charge at him, he would not be able to jump, let alone walk, it would also be very difficult for him.
