Immortal God of War

Chapter 623 - 604: Disagreements Again_1

Upon seeing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others were overjoyed. At the same time, they were stunned by Qin Feiyang’s methods. To not only escape a life-threatening situation but also kill an Alligator King... Such resourcefulness and composure were truly rare in the world!

Shen Mei said, "Dong Zhengyang, quickly lift the ancient tree."

Qin Feiyang was now holding onto the ancient tree. As long as they could hoist it upright, he would be completely out of danger.

"Save us!"

But at this moment, the cries for help from Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong rang out. They had been in despair, but seeing Qin Feiyang escape ignited a glimmer of hope within them.

However, Dong Zhengyang turned a deaf ear to their pleas, instead using all his strength to hoist the ancient tree upright. In his view, these two deserved to die.

Qin Feiyang’s eyes flickered as he said, "Save them!"

As he spoke, he put away the other rib bone, then grabbed the ancient tree with both hands and swiftly maneuvered it above Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong.

"Hmph." Dong Zhengyang raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased, but he didn’t say much. After adjusting its position, he loosened his grip, and the ancient tree immediately descended towards the swamp.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Feiyang’s legs landed in front of Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong.

Qin Feiyang shouted, "Grab onto my feet!"

How could the two dare to hesitate? They frantically reached out, grabbed Qin Feiyang’s ankles, and then hugged them tightly, not daring to let go.

It all happened in a flash!

"Dong Zhengyang, quickly!" Qin Feiyang roared.

Dong Zhengyang immediately lifted the ancient tree, and the three of them rapidly ascended.

ROAR!!

Seeing their delicious meal slip away, the two Dragon Crocodiles became furious, leaped up forcefully, and bit directly onto the legs of Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong.

AH!!

The flesh on their legs was torn off, and the intense pain made the two scream repeatedly, their faces turning deathly pale.

Simultaneously, with the addition of the two Dragon Crocodiles, the weight increased several hundredfold. Caught off guard, Dong Zhengyang lost his grip, and Qin Feiyang’s group of three, along with the two Dragon Crocodiles, plunged into the swamp with a SPLASH.

But Qin Feiyang’s hands never let go of the ancient tree. Because this was their only lifeline.

The moment he plunged into the swamp, he immediately sensed dozens of terrifyingly fierce auras rushing toward him, Dongfang Wuheng, and Murong Xiong. Undoubtedly, these were the other Dragon Crocodiles! Furthermore, the swamp contained a powerful suction force, pulling him downwards.

Meanwhile, Shen Mei and the others outside turned pale with fright.

Shen Long and Jian Wei leaped out almost simultaneously, grabbing the ancient tree that was about to sink into the swamp.

Shen Long shouted, "Quick, come help!"

Shen Mei immediately rushed forward. Dong Zhengyang was momentarily lost in a daze, but hearing Shen Long’s shout, he immediately snapped back to his senses and hurried to help.

"Lift!" The four of them grunted, forcefully heaving up the ancient tree. Qin Feiyang was finally pulled out of the swamp.

Immediately, he greedily gasped for air. Although the time spent in the swamp wasn’t long, the lack of air had nearly suffocated him.

Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong also kept a death grip on his thighs. They knew that if they let go, they would inevitably be entombed in the swamp!

However, the two Dragon Crocodiles were still biting onto their legs and refusing to let go.

Simultaneously, more than ten other Dragon Crocodiles burst out of the swamp and lunged towards the three of them. Among them were two Alligator Kings!

Dong Zhengyang shouted, "Quickly cut off your own legs!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong didn’t dare hesitate in the slightest. Battle Intent surged forth, transforming into numerous sharp blades that quickly severed their legs.

The two Dragon Crocodiles biting their legs immediately plunged downwards. Several Dragon Crocodiles following behind them were directly knocked down, and amidst a series of angry roars, they successively fell into the swamp.

Freed from the two Dragon Crocodiles, the weight significantly decreased, and Dong Zhengyang’s group of four quickly raised the ancient tree upright.

The Alligator King that had missed its prey returned to the swamp and, with its pack, charged menacingly towards the small island where Dong Zhengyang and the others were.

Simultaneously, Qin Feiyang released his grip and quickly slid down the tree trunk. Upon landing, Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong finally let go of Qin Feiyang’s thighs, collapsing on the ground, panting, their faces filled with lingering fear. That was truly a close call, but at least they had managed to save their lives. As for their severed legs, they would recover soon enough after taking Rebirth Pills.

Qin Feiyang landed on the ground. He paid no mind to the filth on his body, merely wiping the mud from his eyes before looking up at the approaching crocodiles.

Simultaneously, without waiting for instructions, Shen Mei and Shen Long began searching for the next foothold.

Yet, at that very same moment, the small island beneath their feet began to tremble violently again. Evidently, more vicious crocodiles were attacking the island’s foundation from below.

Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice, "To stop them, we have to kill all the Alligator Kings."

"That will be very difficult," Dong Zhengyang said. Qin Feiyang had already killed three Alligator Kings, leaving three more. However, only one Alligator King was currently above the swamp; the other two were nowhere to be seen. Undoubtedly, they were hiding below.

Jian Wei said, "Do you think it’s possible that the other two Alligator Kings were killed by our first wave of attacks?"

"That possibility can’t be ruled out," Qin Feiyang said. After all, Dong Zhengyang, Jian Wei, Murong Xiong, and Dongfang Wuheng had attacked together, and all had used battle techniques. The destructive power was considerable. But they couldn’t afford to be complacent. What if they hadn’t been killed? Therefore, they had to consider them in their plans.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang’s eyes as he said icily, "All-out attack! One more wave!"

"Alright!" Dong Zhengyang and Jian Wei nodded and immediately began to channel their battle techniques.

Qin Feiyang also took out two Rebirth Pills and two Healing Pills, tossing them to Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong. All four pills had four Elixir Patterns. He had refined these pills during his seclusion over the past few months, precisely for unforeseen circumstances.

"Thank you." The two looked at Qin Feiyang with gratitude and, disregarding the filth on their hands, grabbed the pills and stuffed them into their mouths. However, the hatred in their hearts for Qin Feiyang grew even stronger. Although Qin Feiyang had saved their lives and given them pills, in their eyes, Qin Feiyang was the cause of all this. If Qin Feiyang hadn’t made them bring up the rear, how could they have ended up in such a state? But they concealed these feelings very well.

At this moment, Shen Mei said, "The bridge is ready."

Qin Feiyang pointed at Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong, saying, "Shen Long, take them and retreat first!"

"Alright." Shen Long nodded. Carrying one person in each arm, he jumped onto the makeshift bridge and rushed to the other side, with Shen Mei following closely behind.

Then, Qin Feiyang waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

Dong Zhengyang and Jian Wei were already poised and ready. Upon hearing Qin Feiyang’s command, Heavenly God’s Illusion and Gale Slash tore through the sky, whistling forward with astonishing power! Then, the three of them, without looking at the outcome, stepped onto the bridge and dashed towards the other side without looking back.

BOOM!!

The two battle techniques slammed into the swamp. The Alligator King, sensing the danger, had already dived into the swamp a step ahead; it was unknown if it was injured. But the crocodile pack suffered heavy casualties, with more than half killed or wounded. The rest were blasted away, finally buying them a little time to escape.

However, just as Qin Feiyang’s group of three reached the middle of the bridge, the previous small island collapsed with a loud RUMBLE and broke apart. The ancient tree serving as their bridge plunged into the swamp. The three of them nearly fell in. Fortunately, their reactions were timely. They quickly dropped down and held onto the ancient tree. Once the shaking of the ancient tree subsided slightly, they got up and sprinted across.

However, they had just landed in front of Shen Mei and the others when the ground beneath their feet began to tremble again, even more violently than before. And no more Dragon Crocodiles emerged from the swamp.

"It seems they’ve decided against a direct confrontation with us."

"If they keep hiding below and attacking our footholds, I’m afraid we’ll be in dire straits sooner or later."

Everyone’s face was grim, filled with worry.

Murong Xiong slumped to the ground, glanced at Qin Feiyang, and said, "We shouldn’t have provoked them in the first place."

Dong Zhengyang retorted angrily, "What’s the use of saying that now? Besides, what if Qin Feiyang’s guess is correct? If we don’t deal with those six Alligator Kings now, we’ll have even less chance of survival later."

Murong Xiong roared, "You’re gambling! And you’re betting our lives on Qin Feiyang!"

Jian Wei said without hesitation, "Yes, we are gambling. And no matter the outcome, I will unconditionally support Qin Feiyang. Because he won’t abandon us to save himself." He punctuated this with a pointed jab at Murong Xiong.

Murong Xiong was immediately infuriated and humiliated, but he could only suppress his anger.

While they were talking, Shen Mei had already set up the next bridge. She shot a cold glance at Murong Xiong and said, "Enough nonsense, let’s go!"

The group stepped onto the bridge and quickly retreated.

「Next.」

As everyone had expected, the Dragon Crocodile pack only attacked their footholds and didn’t engage them directly. Helpless, they could only be forced to flee continuously. Fortunately, Qin Feiyang had many pills, allowing everyone to maintain their peak condition.

「Less than an hour later.」

Dongfang Wuheng and Murong Xiong’s lost legs finally regenerated, and they no longer needed help.

Qin Feiyang looked at the two and said, "You two continue to cover the rear."

The two nearly choked with anger. Why us? Is he deliberately picking on us?

Dong Zhengyang glanced at the two. "What? Do you have objections? Don’t forget, we agreed beforehand to follow Qin Feiyang’s arrangements in all matters."

Murong Xiong clenched his fists tightly and growled, "Which ear of yours heard me say I was unwilling?"

Dong Zhengyang said nonchalantly, "Although you didn’t say it out loud, your expression gives you away."

Murong Xiong sneered, "You should be a detective."

Dong Zhengyang snorted through his nose. "If you don’t want to leave the Death Marsh alive, I won’t force you."

Murong Xiong gave a cold smile, a sinister killing intent flickering in the depths of his eyes. "Don’t try to scare me; I wasn’t scared into growing up. I’ll tell you this: you will definitely die before I do."

Dongfang Wuheng said with a smile, "Murong Xiong, stop arguing. We’ve all witnessed Junior Brother Qin’s performance along the way. There’s no mistake in listening to him."

Murong Xiong snorted coldly. "I haven’t said much, so why are you always targeting me? Do you think I’m easy to bully?"

Dongfang Wuheng patted his shoulder comfortingly. "Alright, alright. Being chased by the Dragon Crocodiles for so long hasn’t just put you in a bad mood; none of us feel great. Just say a few words less. Harmony is most important. Let’s go!" Then, the two of them quickly retreated to the rear to cover their retreat.

Shen Mei and Shen Long continued to scout ahead. Qin Feiyang, Jian Wei, and Dong Zhengyang sped through the middle, carefully observing the movements in the surrounding swamp. If any Dragon Crocodile emerged, they would immediately attack and kill it.
