The danger came from the depths of the swamp. Chu You squinted slightly, spotting a pair of scarlet eyes hidden in the bushes nearby, the body beneath the water's surface perhaps?
Then his gaze shifted and found more eyes. They seemed to be watching him, waiting for their prey to take the bait. The sound of trickling water and singing birds filled the narrow valley, creating an otherwise pleasant scene. The swamp water was not toxic, although it wasn't clear.
After contemplating, Chu You ordered his 40 Battle Demonesses to float half a foot above the ground. They lined up from the left of the valley to the right, spaced around 5 to 6 meters apart. The valley itself was over 200 meters wide.
Finally, at Chu You's command, the floating Battle Demonesses moved forward!
