Chapter 389: Deep Entering

Translator: LawEditor: Hitesh

The terrain of the Evil Dragon Bay was not precipitous.

A few great rivers were flowing slowly and windingly through there, transporting sand and sediments to this area, which had accumulated into this paludal wetland. One could see muddy pools all over this area, densely scattered in this wetland. Rose willows, Robinias and other few types of trees, which had only sparse branches and leaves, were standing disorderly around those different sized pools, looking like tired people, who were weak due to sickness.

A water clattering noise lingered in this area, seemingly never stopping. Occasionally, extra large, long and fat unknown creatures would appear, roll in those muddy pools and raise big water blooms. On the thick layer of aquatic plants floating on the water surface, large groups of unknown, poisonous creatures were gathered, cosily spurting poisonous mist or smoke.

The Evil Dragon Bay was covered almost entirely in soft and sticky mud, and one could barely find a path for safely passing it. In this Evil Dragon Bay, which was nearly ten-thousand miles in radius, only tens of small hills had solid soil layers that could bear all kinds of buildings.

Therefore, the human army took over these small hills. They built military camps and stationed a large number of warriors here, guarding this strategic point.

Qian Tan was wearing a grey armor and sitting in a metal boat, seeming to be very upset. The boat was slowly moving forward along a muddy branch river in this Evil Dragon Bay area. Surrounding his boat were another nearly hundred boats; same as Qian Tan’s boat, all these boats were around ten-zhang long and shaped like a shuttle. Around ten Jia Clan warriors stood on each of these boats.

Spell symbols were sparkling on the tails of these boats. Large pieces of magic crystals were filled in the magic formation set on each boat, allowing the magic formations to manipulate the water current, and to push the boats forward. In this way, these boats could move in the river at an especially high speed.

But at the moment, a string of rafts was dragged by each boat; a large group of frog-like, non-humankind slaves, who had dark-green skin that was thickly dotted with black pimples, were huddled up on each of those rafts. These lowly slaves looked just like human-shaped frogs; they had enormous feet and webbed toes, and were all excellent swimmers. These slaves were the best cannon fodders, often used by the Yu Clan in water-based battles.

‘Coo, coo’, following this noise came from far away, a few extra large sized frog slaves dashed through the water surface. Their bodies seemed nimble and light, this dangerous swamp zone not causing any effect on their movements at all. They ran on the surface of the swamp as easily and quickly as human beings walking on flat soil ground.

Those few frog slaves rushed up to Qian Tan’s boat, directly thudding their chests and faces against the muddy river water, saluted to Qian Tan, then gasped deeply for air while saying, “Lord, the frontal area is safe. Within a hundred miles from here, we didn’t see any human warriors, but the number of water boas living in this area is huge. Quite a few of our brothers were swallowed.”

Qian Tan frowned, grabbed a leather whip and lashed heavily on the body of the frog slave, who seemed to be the leader of this group of slave and had just reported to him, then yelled impatiently, “Idiot! Look at your ugly faces! If those water boas don’t eat you, what are they supposed to eat? The mud?! Piss off, continue exploring this area! I don’t believe that the humankind doesn't know that we’re already here.”

Being lashed by that thick leather whip, the frog slave leader burst out a loud howl. A deep, bleeding slash appeared on his smooth skin, sticky drops of blood dripping down into the river. The other frog slaves lowered their heads, daring not to make any noise. The frog slave leader then hurriedly gave a loud yell, followed by which, another ten frog slaves leapt down from a raft, following behind this group of frog slaves. Again, these frog slaves ran deep into the Evil Dragon Bay.

Qian Tan wielded the leather whip hard in the air. He was upset to an extreme degree.

He was sent away! Yes, he was sent away. Because of a mistake he made back in the Chi Ban Market, his family had suffered a great loss, and the family’s glory was disgraced severely. Therefore, he was sent away from the Chi Ban Market, a dreamy place where he could attain great wealth, to the battlefront, where the Qian Family’s army forces were stationed. He was now the commander of a troop of warriors.
