"When I was in Northern True Ocean, I could roam that place, and n.o.body dared to bother me!" Wu He bellowed. "However, I have to be this careful in Nine Smoke Marsh."

"Okay," said Luo Feng. "We need to at least survive this task. If we can't, even your father can't save you."

Wu He nodded and asked, "What should we do, Milky Way? 10,000 military credits… There are too many strange beasts in Nine Smoke Marsh. We'll definitely be found if we get caught in a fight. With our power, we can't even kill one strange beast true G.o.d—let alone two!"

Luo Feng frowned. Kill a true G.o.d? If he fully utilized all his power, he could kill a true G.o.d, but it would take a very long time. In an environment like Nine Smoke Marsh, it would be impossible for him to attack a true G.o.d for that long.

"Do you have any ideas, Milky Way?" Wu He asked nervously.

"What are you so anxious about?" Luo Feng yelled. "The time limit is the next task, which is almost one era! It's a very long time, so we can spend that time looking for opportunities."

Wu He was relieved. "Indeed, it's a long time, but I can't come up with any ideas."

"Wu He." Luo Feng looked at Wu He. "If you will follow my lead, we can act together. If you won't follow my lead, we will have to act alone."

"Huh?" Wu He's eyes gleamed. "What have you got, Milky Way? As long as you have good ideas, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, short of killing myself."

"We need to come up with some ideas," said Luo Feng. "We need to learn more about the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. We must find opportunities to better understand the situation. It would be stupid of us to make plans without understanding this place."

Wu He nodded.

"Let's go!" Luo Feng yelled.

******

Luo Feng took Wu He and started to inspect the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. He needed to take everything into consideration.

Half a year pa.s.sed.

Hua! Hua!

The wind was blowing, pus.h.i.+ng down the gra.s.s. The two tiny beings in it looked out like ants.

Dozens of beings were locked in a battle in the distance.

"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Xuan Yu Mountain, how dare you come here again!" roared a strange beast covered in scales. It had four claws, a long neck, and a triangular head. "You were defeated last time! Go! Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Xuan Yu Mountain!"

There were 12 strange beasts that looked exactly like him.

"Howl!"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!"

"b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Xuan Yu Mountain!"

"Kill them!"

The strange beasts roared and fought tall warriors wielding weapons. The tall warriors in human form were all yelling insanely.

"Last time, we defeated you! Go, brothers! Kill those strange beasts!"

"Kill!"

All the tribal warriors roared and dashed at the strange beasts, fighting ferociously. The time and s.p.a.ce around them trembled, and the fighting was brutal. There were more tribal warriors, yet the strange beasts had larger G.o.dly bodies.

"Milky Way, they are fighting each other." Wu He stared at the fight while transmitting his voice. "Besides, they don't even have true-G.o.d-level armor to protect themselves, and they're fighting each other recklessly. Their G.o.dly bodies will be quickly consumed. Some might die after a short time. We can wait and get those remaining weapons to claim them as our military credits.

The body of a true G.o.d was the proof of successfully killing one, while plundered weapons were the proof of successfully killing a law master. Besides, the military would confirm with Nine Smoke Marsh later. As long as they had the weapons and the strange beasts were dead, the military credits could be claimed.

"No need to hurry!" Luo Feng transmitted his yelling voice.

Wu He was nervous. "We've inspected the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh for a long time, yet we haven't gotten any military credits."

"Why are you so anxious?" said Luo Feng. "We've spotted three battles during our inspection of the periphery of Nine Smoke Marsh. The area is enormous, and what we've inspected is barely the tip of an iceberg, yet we still saw three battles. How many battles are there at the periphery?"

Wu He was dazed. "Like, 10,000? Milk Way!" Wu He gaped at Luo Feng in surprise, immediately understanding his meaning.

"You must also have noticed that other strange beasts in Nine Smoke Marsh are able to sense the ripples of those battles, yet they're not coming to interfere," Luo Feng said, transmitting his voice. "I didn't hear anything special from the two previous battles, but I heard Xuan Yu Mountain this time. What power is Xuan Yu Mountain?"

"Xuan Yu Mountain?" said Wu He. "Xuan Yu Mountain is a great power next to Nine Smoke Marsh, and it's just as powerful. Nine Smoke Marsh is a strange beast power led by three true G.o.ds of void s.p.a.ce, while Xuan Yu Mountain is a tribal alliance led by four true G.o.ds of void s.p.a.ce. These two powers are too powerful, so there are rarely fights between them. If there is a battle, it is always brutal."

Luo Feng nodded. Thoughts flooded his mind. "When the two powers are not in a fight, will there be so many warriors and strange beasts fighting each other?" asked Luo Feng.

"No," answered Wu He. "When they're not at war, they restrict their respective warriors so that they won't start a fight."

Luo Feng smiled. "However, we've watched three fights, which means Xuan Yu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh are currently engaged in battle! There might be a pause, which is why those law masters are fighting each other…"

"You mean…?" said Wu He.

"Now that Xuan Yu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh are in a fight," said Luo Feng, "let's get the true G.o.ds from both sides fight each other. Then we can collect the bodies."

"A fight between true G.o.ds?" Wu He shook his head. "Impossible."

"It is, indeed, nearly impossible to get a large group of true G.o.ds in a fight. However, it's possible to get individual true G.o.ds to fight."

Luo Feng's eyes gleamed. He'd already had a plan in his mind.

"Follow me," he said.

Luo Feng and Wu He disappeared from the gra.s.s.
