Liu Yang walked for a few days through the forest before reaching his goal, the Gbril Swamp.
Being in the middle of the forest, the place was dark with various types of strange creatures that hide to make sneak attacks on their prey.
The areas were covered in dark water with many floating skeletons with various insects inside. Some areas covered by vegetation hide hidden dangers.
Many adventurers enter the swamp in search of special riches amid danger. But the vast majority were young because they were at the average level to enter the swamp.
The others were old people who had the experience to check for dangers and were hired by adventurers to explore the most dangerous places.
Several dozen meters away there was a large crowd shouting and selling things. Many of these items were things that regular stores sell, but the price was inflated several times over.
Liu Yang's arrival made things a little tense, they knew who he was.
Many adventurers saw the scene outside the city from the imaging devices.
"Look!! It's that young man who killed Odds, he's coming this way!!!"
"Take care of him. He might kill you"
"This guy is a bit dangerous, it's best not to get too involved with him"
…
Lots of shouting and private conversation as they saw the image of Liu Yang slowly walking towards the swamp.
Some were even afraid of him because of the way he killed the group.
Such a young man was very dangerous to deal with, and besides, the power he displayed was not small.
Only someone strong could cut through Odds' hard body easily.
The way was opened for Liu Yang to pass, no one dared try to stop him.
Or rather, almost no one.
A group of young people approached him.
"Liu Yang, right? I would like you to join my group. Someone with your power might be useful." The young man in the front was the leader of the group. He wore a set of cloth clothes with some glittering jewels adorned, a long wooden staff in the shape of a question mark with two jewels, one at each end.
Some members of the group were like him, with luxury equipment and some were a little poorer in terms of their clothes.
"I will have to decline this offer" Liu Yang didn't like the way the young man spoke to him.
The haughty tone and disdainful way he looked at him was something Liu Yang disliked.
It was not possible to know if it was because of his personality or the disorders caused by the side effects of the dragon heart.
"..." Liu Yang's refusal was beyond the young man's expectations, he thought that the other side would accept the invitation after seeing his and the group's equipment.
This was totally unexpected.
"Does he really dare refuse my invitation? Who does he think he is?" The young man was irritated.
"Brother Cheng, you don't have to worry about that. He's just a self-assured idiot. He's being arrogant after killing Odds and his group. That's no big deal." Another youth tried to defuse the situation and win favor from the youth by criticizing Liu Yang.
"That's true. He's just someone arrogant who doesn't know his own limits. He will regret not having accepted our invitation."
"Let's go to the swamp, we need to find the item the Ling clan asked for. If we get the item, we'll get a favor from the Ling clan. This is much better than any reward."
"Yes."
The group left excited as they thought about what they could achieve beyond the rewards offered by the employer.
It wasn't just money or items, but also a favor.
The Ling clan was influential in Wu Town and the neighboring town, they had a lot of contacts and this can really help an adventurer to grow and have more influence.
…
Liu Yang walked through the muddy areas full of small insects that fly everywhere. He was quite annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
If the flames were activated, he would reveal his other class. This was something he didn't want to do.
Along the way, he heard cries for help far, far away. On all sides.
It didn't take long for him to reach one of these dangerous places, as it was on his way.
"Hey!!! Can you help me?!!!!" A dirty, smelly-looking young man yelled at Liu Yang because he was too close to the muddy area.
His body was sinking into the swamp because there was some kind of hole or creature pulling him down.
"I can, but I want you to answer some questions for me"
"I will, but get me out of here" He replied desperately.
Liu Yang just threw a piece of wood for him to hold on to before pulling.
The young man's body was lifted quickly without any kind of difficulty.
But a bloody scene could be seen on the body.
Both legs were eaten by something and part of one of the arms was the same way.
Without hesitation, the young man took a bottle with a red liquid and drank it, soon after, he took a bottle containing a blue liquid and also drank it. The third bottle had yellow liquid.
After drinking the liquid from the three bottles, the young man's wounds began to heal at great speed. Bones, flesh, and skin could be seen regenerating, but it still took a while for the wounds to fully heal.
