The Medallion novel Chapter 1565

A few days later, Deputy Commander Lin received the order to lead his supporting troop and a team of spirit warriors to the front line area of the Tiger Whisker Pass to patrol it for half a month.

After what had happened at the Crescent Gorge last time, Tucker had warned him to be careful a few times before he left. However, this time, Deputy Commander Lin had Rocky under his command, so Tucker wasn't as concerned.

Once they were on the road, the patrol team headed northwest of the Tiger Whisker Pass. This time, they were to walk the area between the Panta Mountain and the Venomous Snake Swamp.

The Panta Mountain was the junction between the human race and the spiritual race. It was said that it had existed since the creation of the Supreme Ether Land, and therefore, it was rich with legends. The most famous one was that it was the entrance to the Purgatory Valley, also known as one of the three divine lands that bordered the battlefield.

However, no human spirit warrior in history had been able to confirm this fact. And if a spirit warrior had been able to enter it, they would not be willing to reveal it and allow the other spirit warriors in knowing what was waiting ahead.

Out of the entire battlefield, the Panta Mountain was the only place that the human race and spiritual race were not willing to go. This was because many fierce, supernatural beasts gathered at the foot of the mountain for a few hundred miles. Entering it would be the equivalent to stepping into a tiger's lair.

As for the Venomous Snake Swamp, it was also nightmare-like. It was a paradise for all kinds of poisonous insects, snakes, and beasts, and it was full of swamp traps. If one didn't take care, they could die a horrible death in it.

If it weren't for Tucker's order, Deputy Commander Lin would have avoided this area, but he had no choice but to bring his whole team here.

Two days later, the patrol team reached the Venomous Snake Swamp.

"Spiritual King Basil, we must cross the Venomous Snake Swamp, but it's currently too dangerous. We need to explore it and then choose the safest route. I'll give this important task to you. Thank you in advance," Deputy Commander Lin said to Rocky with an earnest look on his face. However, his eyes held some viciousness. The troop began to temporarily station themselves just outside of the Venomous Snake Swamp.

"Oh, okay. Don't worry. I've got this," Rocky replied, nodding and ignoring the weirdness of it all. There was no reason for him to think that this task would be dangerous.

Then, Rocky stepped away from the group and entered the Venomous Snake Swamp alone.

The moment he crossed the barrier, he discovered that a miasma of despair hung over the whole swamp. A spirit warrior would struggle to hold on, never mind an ordinary human.

Fortunately, Rocky's physique was special and his Spiritual Infant was at the premium stage, so he barely felt uncomfortable as he walked.

However, he couldn't see any safe paths ahead of him.

After all, it was his first time here and Rocky was not very familiar with the terrain of the Venomous Snake Swamp. It would take him hours to find a route that was usable for the troop.

On the other hand, Rocky was used to dangerous places. It didn't end up taking him as long as he had thought to uncover a relatively safe route. Just as he was about to go back and report this to Deputy Commander Lin, he sensed a hidden weapon flying towards him. A frown covered his face and he held out a hand to catch it.

Within a few moments, he realized that the hidden weapon was a dart, and judging from its appearance, it was poisonous.

Rocky immediately cast it aside, but it was too late. A sensation of weakness washed over his body. Clearly, just touching the dart had numbed him.

Soon, a masked figure leapt out of the trees and approached Rocky. The person thrust out a sword and pointed it at one of Rocky's vital organs.

Although Rocky was poisoned, it did not have much of an effect on him. He dodged the stabbing motion of the sword.

However, his opponent was quick and immediately struck again, aiming at another vital organ.

Seeing this, Rocky summoned his Magic Icy Armor to create a protective shield over his whole body.

Clang!
