Chapter 844: Chapter 844: Black Water Pond
At this moment, the entire team’s atmosphere became serious and tense.
Because the danger level of the Black Water Pond is higher than all the fierce beast territories they’ve passed before combined.
There, poison permeates, and lethal poisonous insects and creatures are everywhere.
And most crucially, in the swamps of the Black Water Pond, there lives a group of exceptionally fierce black water crocodiles.
The terror of these black water crocodiles is such that even Earth Rank experts find them exceptionally troublesome.
This made the team members very apprehensive at this moment.
If the previous territories of fierce beasts were called dangerous.
Then the Black Water Pond is truly a situation of survival against all odds.
The chances of making it through are very, very slim.
If the team were made up of Earth Rank experts, it wouldn’t be too bad.
But the key is that the team also includes Robert and three other Xuan Rank Perfection experts, and Ye Qianrou, a Yellow Rank Early Stage expert.
With these four, trying to force through Black Water Pond is doubly difficult, and some strategies and tactics must be employed.
Otherwise, they might all die.
Liehuo seemed to sense the team’s tense atmosphere and grinned, reassuring them, "Everyone, don’t worry. We’ve already braved the storms before, and this is the last stretch. We can definitely make it through!"
"Yes, the Captain is right. We can definitely make it through. Everyone, stay alert!"
Vice Captain Peter Martin also looked at everyone, reassuringly.
At this moment, morale needed to be boosted; otherwise, the upcoming situation would be even more unfavorable.
"Captain, Vice Captain, don’t comfort us. We know our own strength. If it really doesn’t work later, just go ahead and don’t let us hold you back!"
A Xuan Rank Perfection team member smiled bitterly and said.
"Yes, Captain, with your Earth Rank strength, you can still protect yourselves at the Black Water Pond. If the situation changes, don’t worry about us!"
"We’ve already dragged you down too much on this journey. This last time, we really don’t want to be a burden!"
Another Xuan Rank Perfection team member also spoke up.
"What nonsense are you talking? From the moment you joined the Liehuo Team, you became brothers, comrades. Do you think I, Liehuo, am the type to abandon my brothers?"
Liehuo glared at the two of them and said.
"But..."
The two wanted to say more because they really didn’t want to drag Liehuo and the others down any further.
With the strength of Liehuo, Chen Feng, and the others, they could clearly pass the final challenge easily.
But to take care of them, they were often exhausted and even risked their lives.
This made them feel very guilty.
However, before they could finish speaking, Liehuo interrupted them.
"Don’t say but. Since I, Liehuo, have brought you into the Tuck Forest, I will ensure you all get out alive. Anyone who suggests I abandon them will face my wrath!"
Liehuo waved his hand, his face stern.
Clearly, he wasn’t kidding.
And this moved the team members greatly, bringing tears to their eyes.
Seeing this, Chen Feng also smiled slightly.
From the previous interactions, one thing was clear.
He discovered that Liehuo, and the other members of the Liehuo Team, valued loyalty greatly.
Simply put, it can be summed up in six words.
Never abandon, never give up.
Especially Captain Liehuo, who, though not necessarily a noble gentleman.
He certainly wasn’t a petty person, and he had the spirit and courage a man should have.
Chen Feng was very pleased with this.
Joining the Liehuo Team was indeed the right decision.
If they had joined a team full of schemes, it would have been revolting.
As of now, the members of the Liehuo Team have been very good.
This also made Chen Feng completely at ease.
"Brother Chen Feng, we’re almost at the Black Water Pond. Do you have any detailed plans?"
At this point, Liehuo turned to Chen Feng and asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes turned to Chen Feng.
Throughout this journey, the Liehuo Team has faced numerous dangers and life-and-death situations.
The reason they were able to avert disaster, while not solely due to Chen Feng.
At least half of the credit goes to him.
This quickly elevated Chen Feng’s status in the Liehuo Team.
From a newcomer, he leapfrogged to a position second only to Captain Liehuo.
Even Vice Captain Peter Martin couldn’t compare to Chen Feng.
Peter Martin also acknowledged this point.
Therefore, before any major event, not only did Liehuo want to hear Chen Feng’s opinion.
All team members wanted to hear Chen Feng’s ideas and plans.
Because often, Chen Feng’s plans are the most effective and feasible.
All thanks to Chen Feng’s past experiences.
Chen Feng used to be a King of Soldiers in the Dragon Group, often performing missions and facing various life-and-death crises.
Now facing these situations, he remains calm and finds a reasonable approach quickly.
No doubt, Chen Feng’s presence gave the Liehuo Team a sense of reliability.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Chen Feng remained silent for a moment before saying:
"The original plan remains unchanged. Go through the front first, and when we reach the black water crocodiles, one person will attract all their attention while the others pass quickly.
"Afterward, that person will figure out a way to escape. As for more detailed aspects, we’ll take it step by step!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, agreeing with Chen Feng’s logic.
Plans can’t keep up with changes.
Before everything begins, the more detailed the plan, the more likely errors will appear.
This current approach is better and allows for adaptability.
Having clarified everything.
Everyone continued on the road.
After leaving the Lightning Wolf Territory, the journey became particularly calm, without encountering any beasts along the way.
Everything around them grew quiet.
However, the quieter it seemed, the more the Liehuo Team didn’t dare to lower their guard.
This peace and lack of beasts suggest that in the area, something even more powerful and terrifying exists.
So much that other beasts don’t dare to come here.
And this powerful and terrifying presence, without a doubt, is the black water crocodile!
After about ten minutes of walking.
Everyone felt a chilling aura ahead, rushing straight for them.
That feeling was as if Hell lay ahead, making one’s skin crawl, instinctively not wanting to proceed.
Everyone knew they had reached the Black Water Pond!
