Zhao Hai did not ask Zhao Zui and the rest about the situation at the corpse swamp. It was not the time to do so. There would be plenty of opportunities to ask about it in the future. They had more important things to do now.
More than two hours later, Zhao Qian had climbed over the mountain and arrived at the canyon he had mentioned. The location of the canyon was very good. It was between two mountains. The terrain was flat, and there was a small stream in the middle. It was the best place to set up camp.
However, this was not the best place for an ambush. The terrain was flat, and there was no place to hide. For those who wanted to ambush, this kind of place was not qualified to be an ambush.
However, to Zhao Hai, any location could be an ambush point. This was because he could have Zhao Zui and the others appear in the canyon in an instant. There was no need for them to hide.
Zhao Hai and the others came out of the medium and carefully examined the terrain of the canyon. There was really nothing to see here. It was obvious that the other party had chosen this place to rest because it was not a good place to ambush.
Merlin had been on the battlefield before and had a certain understanding of the battlefield. Thus, she knew that the person who had come to attack them this time must be an expert in battle formations. Such a person was not easy to deal with.
If the experts who came to deal with Zhao Hai and the others did not have a unified commander and could not fight like an Army, Zhao Hai and the others could easily destroy them. After all, they had a lot of power in their hands.
However, if those people had a unified commander, and it was a commander with rich combat experience, it would not be easy for them to eliminate those people. After all, those people were not weak. A plate of loose sand and a fist were two completely different concepts.
After checking out the terrain, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the origin space. Since they were already here, all they had to do was to wait.
Zhao Hai and the others were sitting in the living room of the villa, watching the image on the screen. At the same time, they called Zhao Zui out and asked him about the situation at the corpse swamp.
However, the news that Zhao Zui brought back disappointed Zhao Hai a little. It was within Zhao Hai’s expectations, though. Zhao Zui and the others had just reached the edge of the rotten corpse swamp and had yet to experience the true power of the rotten corpse swamp. Moreover, there were very few undead creatures and magical beasts there.
Most importantly, there were no plants in the area. The area where Zhao Zui and the rest were active at was a huge mud pool. It took the undead creatures a lot of effort to walk on it, and their speed was very slow.
It could be said that the corpse swamp that Zhao Zui and the others had come into contact with was only the first level of the swamp’s test. Fortunately, the undead creatures that followed Zhao Zui and the others were originally from the corpse swamp. Although they had been subdued by Zhao Hai, these undead creatures did not forget their past like Zhao Qian. These undead creatures were very familiar with the things in the corpse swamp, so it was not too much trouble for them even though it was a little difficult to walk.
These undead creatures had been living in the rotten corpse swamp for a long time, and it had become their instinct to move around there. They were born here, grew here, died here, and came back to life after they died. It could be said that the rotten corpse swamp was the home of the undead creatures, their home for the rest of their lives.
This was the most powerful part of the rotten corpse swamp. It could turn the dead creatures into undead creatures and slowly upgrade them. Such an ability could only be found in the rotten corpse swamp on the continent. Even the devil abyss didn’t have such an ability because people always believed that the devil abyss was connected to the devil World. The reason why the people there had undead activities was that the undead creatures there came from the devil World.
It was precisely because the rotten corpse swamp could continuously produce undead creatures that it became stronger and stronger. A few thousand years ago, it was said that people could retreat from the rotten corpse swamp and stay at home for the rest of their lives. But now, no one dared to come to the rotten corpse swamp.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai had asked Zhao Zui and the others to be more careful. They would rather Scout the path ahead than cause trouble.
There must be something special about the rotten corpse swamp since it could turn dead animals into undead creatures. Moreover, it was not entirely poison that could prevent so many experts in the world from leaving this place alive. Zhao Hai did not want Zhao Zui and the others to die Here. Even though Zhao Zui and the others were called undead creatures, they were not really undead.
Even though Zhao Zui and the others did not gain anything this time, they had a better understanding of the terrain around the rotten corpse swamp. They had already found a few routes that were easier to take. Once they were done here, they were ready to go deeper into the rotten corpse swamp to take a look.
After asking, Zhao Hai kept Zhao Zui and the others away. He sat in the living room and looked at the screen quietly. He did not speak for a long time. However, Merlin and the rest noticed that Zhao Hai’s attention was not on the screen at all. It seemed that he was thinking about what Zhao Zui and the others had said.
Merlin said to Zhao Hai in a low voice, ” young master, although Zhao Zui and the others did not gain anything this time, they did not suffer any losses either. That place is already the corpse swamp. If it was so easy to deal with, it would not be worthy of being called one of the five most dangerous lands on the continent. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was jolted back to his senses by Merlin’s words. He smiled and said, &Quot; no, I’m not blaming Zhao Zui and the others. They did a good job. I’m just thinking about something else. The rotten corpse swamp is a huge threat to us. If we can’t get rid of this threat, there will always be a huge threat in the black soil wasteland. We won’t be able to succeed even if we don’t farm or rear beasts. So, it’s best that we think of a way to get rid of this threat. &Quot;
Merlin frowned. &Quot; that’s impossible. For so many years, no one has ever dared to say that they’ve conquered the rotten corpse swamp. That place is a forbidden land. We can’t possibly solve this. &Quot;
Zhao Hai frowned. &Quot; no one has ever conquered it, but we have to try. Those people didn’t conquer it because they didn’t live in the blackdirt wastelands, but we have to try because we’re too close to the corpse swamp. &Quot;
Merlin did not say anything else. He knew that Zhao Hai was right. The reason why those people did not conquer the rotten corpse swamp was that it was too dangerous. The second reason was that no one lived here. Even if the rotten corpse swamp was dangerous, it posed no threat to them. Without any pain, those people would naturally not go all out. However, they were different from those people. If they could not handle the matters in the rotten corpse swamp, they would be killed. Even if Zhao Hai could improve the land, it would be useless. Once the land was improved, the demonic beasts and undead creatures would rush out of the pool and destroy the land. That would be the biggest threat to the Buda family.
Blockhead and the others had been listening to Zhao Hai’s words quietly. Now, blockhead and Shitou had become very smart. It was just that blockhead was more steady and more observant than Shitou. On the other hand, Shitou was more impulsive and a little carefree.
When blockhead heard what Zhao Hai said, he could not help but say, ” “Young master, the rotten corpse swamp is a huge threat to us, but it is only a threat. As long as we have the space, we will be fine. However, if we really want to conquer the rotten corpse swamp, it is very likely that we will be in danger. It doesn’t matter if we die, but if something happens to young master, even if we die, we won’t have the face to face the old master, let alone the ancestors of the Buda family. Young master, you must be careful in this matter.”
When blockhead finished speaking, his tone became extremely heavy. Merlin’s expression also changed. Recently, due to Zhao Hai’s various amazing performances, Merlin was no longer worried about Zhao Hai’s safety. However, after being reminded by blockhead, Merlin suddenly remembered that Zhao Hai was the only child left in the Buda family. If something happened to Zhao Hai, there would be no need for the Buda family to exist anymore. These people would die a thousand deaths and still feel guilty.
Zhao Hai looked at the wooden block and could not help but smile bitterly. &Quot; &Quot; do you think I want to mess with the rotten corpse swamp that badly? but have you thought about it? everything we have now was brought to us by this space. And as you know, I drank the water of nothingness. I can’t learn magic or battle energy. My body is worse than an ordinary person’s. If one day I get sick and die, or if I get old and die, will this space still exist? If this space disappeared, would the undead creatures still be here? If those undead creatures are gone, what power does our Buda family have to resist the rotten corpse swamp?”
Upon hearing Zhao Hai’s words, everyone’s face turned pale. Just as Merlin was about to say something, Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, ” “It is impossible for anyone to learn martial arts and magic within ten generations of the water of the void. Everyone knows this. If one day we are all gone, the Buda family will not be able to withstand the attack of those magical beasts. So, the matter at the corpse swamp must be resolved. It must be resolved once and for all.”
Merlin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not say anything because what Zhao Hai had said was true. Merlin had some doubts about Zhao Hai’s mysterious space. This space was too mysterious, and the Buda family was too dependent on it. If this space really disappeared one day, they would be finished.
Zhao Hai did not simply limit his eyes to his generation. What he wanted to do was to ensure the continued existence of the Buda family, so he had to solve the problem at the rotten corpse swamp.
