"Aaron Lin, he came here about a month ago looking for information about a fruit called Colored Swamp Fruit, a special type of fruit that drops from one of the three swamp bosses, the Ent Twisted Master. The last time this boss was defeated was a couple of weeks ago, but this young man named Aaron Lin didn't come back along with the group he was with. According to some research and conversations among adventurers, he is still in the swamp after being betrayed by one of his companions in an attempt to get the Colored Swamp Fruit. Whether he's still alive or not, I don't know. His companions said that he had fallen into a waterfall of mud and disappeared. The waterfall is close to where the boss is." The woman spoke the information she knew about the person Liu Yang was looking for.
"I see… Thanks for the information" He planned to go to the location.
"You are welcome. Next" She called the next customer after Liu Yang left.
But internally, she has already analyzed some information about him and saved it for future sales. Someone like Liu Yang was a rare person to find and could be worth a lot of money.
…
(According to that woman's information, Fei Lin's older brother went looking for the Colored Swamp Fruit. This fruit is the requested item from one of the quests I was interested in… It seems that he got the item, but upon being betrayed, he didn't drop the item and fell with it... It seems the boss didn't drop the fruit again because they are still waiting... The adventurers must still be on the spot trying to defeat the boss to get the fruit. This is a good opportunity to try to look for him.) Liu Yang walked towards where the boss was located, but he kept thinking about the information given by the woman and the quest to get the Colored Swamp Fruit.
If the quest hasn't been canceled yet, then that means that it has not yet been completed by any adventurers.
The creatures in this other part of the swamp were no longer just insects and mud creatures lurking in the water, but also dangerous wild beasts like giant crocodiles lurking in the dark swamp waters in search of easy prey.
The swamp was infested with these creatures on all sides. It was not uncommon to see adventurers being bitten and dragged into the water before being devoured by a group of crocodiles.
But it wasn't all bad, if a crocodile was defeated and a piece of leather was dropped, a small fortune would be made because it was very coveted.
Leather was an essential item for making leather armor for assassins, archers, and other types of cloth classes, but a little heavier than cloth armor.
Liu Yang wasn't interested in the drops, but he still took them to keep some in case of an emergency in case he needed money at some point.
The hard skin of crocodiles was like impenetrable steel armor, it was not possible to cut using just one blow, even for Liu Yang, with so many points in the strength attribute, he still needed to cut three or four times to completely cut through the crocodile's body.
Mages were easier to do this job because the targets only had a physical defense, not a magic defense. So it was very common for groups to have at least one mage.
But they were the most helpless if they were caught by a hidden creature and dragged into the dark waters, death was certain and there was no possibility of rescue.
Along the way, many groups were seen fighting the crocodiles and other creatures around.
But suddenly, a cry of despair and fear echoed.
"CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"It's the Sharp Iron Crocodile!!!! Someone is luring the boss this far!!!!"
"RUN!!!!!!"
"FUCK!!!!!! WHY IS THAT GUY BRINGING BOSS HERE??!!!!"
…
Many groups started to run in all possible directions because a few dozen meters away it was possible to see a young man running at great speed, his appearance poor and full of dirt with a deplorable expression on his face.
It didn't take long to think about how desperate he was to run like that.
Behind him was a crocodile covered in long spikes made of dark steel, but its size was something frightening.
The height was about three meters and it was about twenty meters long.
When the mouth was opened, the opening was almost three meters, a dark and endless tunnel could be seen inside. It was like a black hole that would devour all prey. Four rows of sharp teeth covered in blood could be seen, each tooth was nearly three feet tall.
The Sharp Iron Crocodile was one of the three bosses that ruled the Gbril Swamp, the other two being the Ent Twisted Master and the Blood King Mosquito.
Each of them is located in specific areas of the swamp.
Liu Yang saw the gigantic creature chasing the young man, but he didn't try to do anything because it was impossible.
If it was a dungeon boss of the same level, he still had a chance. But an open field boss, Liu Yang never thought he'd have a chance to deal with one.
The difference between the two creatures was too great.
A dungeon was created so that a limited number of people of that level could win, but the situation was very different for an open field boss. A person of the same level as the boss would never be able to win, no matter the equipment.
Because the boss could only be defeated by a huge amount of players.
A powerful player could replace many players, but not several hundred or thousands.
Even with the arrogance and fearless will of a dragon, his conscience still spoke louder and kept his mind clear.
