Hiss-
The sharp sound of the Worm Demon Spear slicing through something echoed like a razor cutting paper.
A dozen massive heads flew off, landing dozens of meters away in the swamp.
In an instant, over a dozen level 15 Swamp Murlocs were reduced to heaps of corpses.
Before Su Bai could give any order, the Little Worker Ant, who had been waiting nearby, rushed forward and dragged the severed blue-scaled corpses together into a pile.
Then, the Worm Demon Spear pierced through them all at once.
The corpses shriveled and blackened, consumed by the spear, transforming into experience and Evolution Points for Su Bai.
This place was Poison Swamp, adjacent to the Gloomy Jungle.
After five days, Su Bai and Little Worker Ant had basically gathered most of the information about Poison Swamp.
In terms of size, Poison Swamp was much smaller than Gloomy Jungle.
However, the monsters inhabiting this swamp were by no means fewer.
The two most notable creatures were the Swamp Murloc and the Venom Wyvern.
Swamp Murlocs averaged around level 15 and had simple social structures similar to Goblins, spread throughout most of Poison Swamp.
Venom Wyverns lived in the northern part of Poison Swamp, occupying nearly a quarter of the swamp's area by themselves.
The reason was simple.
Among the Swamp Murlocs, there was only one lord-level boss, whereas the Venom Wyverns had two lord-level bosses—a male and a female.
So even though there were thousands of Swamp Murlocs, the mere dozen or so Venom Wyverns firmly held the northern territory.
Three lord-level bosses and thousands of monsters averaging level 15—that was the strength of Poison Swamp.
It was several times stronger than the former Gloomy Jungle!
Su Bai and Little Worker Ant entered the swamp with a dual purpose—one was to collect information for the later expansion of the Gold-devouring Ant tribe.
Poison Swamp, as its name implies, was filled with poisonous gases.
Besides the Swamp Murlocs and Venom Wyverns living here, the biggest enemy to other creatures entering this region was not those monsters, but the poisonous atmosphere itself.
For most creatures, Poison Swamp was a deathtrap, but for the Gold-devouring Ants, it was the perfect training ground.
Don't forget, the Gold-devouring Ant tribe possessed the Adaptability talent.
For them, the poisonous gases, which slowly depleted health rather than instantly killing, acted like a catalyst.
Any Gold-devouring Ant who awakened the Adaptability talent could continuously train in the swamp, eventually activating the Basic Poison Resistance passive skill.
The Little Worker Ant was a perfect example.
In just five days, it activated Basic Poison Resistance, becoming completely immune to the swamp's poison.
It also greatly reduced poison damage from Swamp Murloc attacks.
As for Su Bai himself... possessing the Resistant Carapace, Advanced Fire Resistance, and Advanced Ice Resistance passive skills, he could almost entirely negate attacks from Swamp Murlocs.
The weak attacks of level 15 Swamp Murlocs couldn't even leave a scratch on Su Bai.
Their second goal in Poison Swamp—most important—was to hunt down the Swamp Murloc lord and the Venom Wyverns to acquire their lord-level Attribute Templates!
When Su Bai killed Grog, his Attribute Template had already ascended to Warrior rank and was over 25% progressed.
He estimated that by killing these three bosses and gaining their lord-level templates, his Attribute Template would naturally advance to Lord rank.
Originally, taking a slow, methodical approach in such a large region would be best, but Su Bai couldn't wait!
If not for the absence of bosses above lord rank or epic-rank bosses in Gloomy Jungle and Poison Swamp, he would have wanted to hunt them to test his strength!
To rapidly enhance his own power, to rapidly strengthen the Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant, and to empower the entire Gold-devouring Ant tribe—this was Su Bai's sole focus.
The reason was simple:
Starting two days ago, a string of numbers appeared on his attribute panel.
719:59:59
Now, that string had reduced to 662:39:42!
Combined with the two and a half days that had passed, it was easy to deduce what this countdown meant.
It was a timer!
662:39:42 represented 662 hours, 39 minutes, and 42 seconds—roughly twenty-seven and a half days!
In a game world, having such a countdown on one's attribute panel meant what?
The end of the world?
An Abyssal invasion?
The descent of gods?
Or some major event?
Su Bai thought hard, countless possibilities flashing through his mind.
In the end, the greatest likelihood was just one:
This countdown marked the arrival of the players!!!
