They had no chance of crossing the swamp, and they would be in trouble if they stayed still for too long. The walkable ridges were soon drowned under the mud. However, the patches joined together as the rain kept falling. The mud was in patches at first, like a wet field with walkable ridges between the sections. The grass patches that were safe to walk on were slowly covered by mud as the water level rose. “If I freeze the whole swamp, it’s basically telling the Brown Rebels where we are,” Mu Bai said helplessly. Trying to drag them out of the swamp with force was only going to tear them in half! Those with half their bodies under the mud felt like their bodies had become one with the swamp. He was already a Super Earth Mage, yet he was still having trouble altering the structure of the swamp. “Old Zhao, even you can’t dig them out?” Mo Fan asked quietly. It was true that the Life-Hanging Flies were able to predict one’s death! They would then look for a tree hole in the woods to lay their eggs. They were able to dive into the mud and fly out of it after they were done eating. More Life-Hanging Flies came over to feast on the corpses. They were basically dead once their legs sank into the mud! The mud only covered the ankles of some of the soldiers, yet they still were struggling to pull their feet out. The same tragedy that happened to the first soldier was happening to other soldiers in the swamps. The regiment had over a thousand people, and many of them had fallen into the mud.

“Is there really no way we can save them?” Lt. Their hearts sank when they saw what had happened. Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan went over to the dead body. The noise of the flies was utterly annoying, even amid the loud rain. He thought he was saved when the Hippopotamus Beast pulled him out of the mud, but he did not expect it to tear off his neck. The head had retained the soldier’s terrified, wide-eyed expression. The other cloud lunged at the head and circled the stump like a gathering around a bonfire.
