System: Replicating The Heavens
Chapter 47 Ch 47: Four-Direction Death Swamp

Getting his hands on the secret technique, the middle-aged man immediately thought of refining the Blood Sulphurous Stone, but he didn't want to be high profile and attract the attention of other powerhouses. So, he stayed put and silently lured a few hundred people to the abyss first before killing them, extracting their blood essence and letting the soon-to-be Blood Sulphurous Stone bath in them.

After that, he again lured a few hundred people and did the same to them. He used this strategy and lured thousands of people inside the abyss and killed them. Finally, when he settled everything and knew he has to wait for a few hundred years of time, he laid down countless deadly illusion formations and even ordered the Evil Spirit, that born from the grievance and other negative emotions of people he killed, to stay here and protect the Blood Sulphurous Stone.

But now, someone actually entered the tomb he built with the corpses of thousands of people, and not only killed his Evil Spirit, but also dared to steal his treasure. How could the middle-aged man stay put, doing nothing at all?

After calming his anger, without even batting an eye to the corpses of thousands of people of the village, he immediately left for the Dark Edge City.

"No matter who you are, I'll definitely tear you apart. Be ready, for I, Mo Long, is coming!"

.....

Alex, unknown of the coming danger, continued to walk toward the depth of the abyss. But the feeling of being watched never disappeared. It only disappeared for a moment when Alex entered the tomb, but after he came out, this feeling again appeared.

He observed his surroundings carefully but found nothing. But he was sure that someone was watching him from the dark.

He also tried to look for the companions he came here with but had never been able to replace them. He did not know what happened to them, but he knew at the moment, he could not do anything to them, for he was not strong enough to break the restrictions and rules of this abyss.

Alex did not know how long he had been walking. In this abyss, there was no such thing as day and night. There was only darkness here, cryptic darkness that ruled over the entire abyss.

For a moment, Alex even regretted coming here. He thought he should have stayed at the Floating Cloud Academy. There, he could at least duplicate treasures from others and increase his strength. But here, in the abyss, as far as he could see, there was nothing but darkness.

How could he duplicate treasures here?

After another few hours of walking, Alex finally stopped and started resting. There was nothing for him to eat here. It was fortunate that his cultivation has increased in these few days, making it possible for him to spend another few days without eating and drinking.

When Alex woke up again, instead of continuing his journey, he took out the remaining treasures in his personal space and started cultivating. The stronger he was, the safer he would be in this abyss that was filled with dangers.

Alex continued cultivating until he used up all the treasures. There was nothing left now, so Alex opened his eyes and took deep breaths.

"Finally, I reached Level 9 of Enlightenment Stage. Only one step and I would be able to become an Innate Stage martial warrior."

A smile appeared on Alex's face, at the same time, his stomach also let out a grumbling sound, telling Alex that it was hungry and needed food to replenish energy.

Sigh!

Alex let out a long sigh, thinking that cultivation is too tiring as well as energy consuming. It makes people hungrier.

Alex carefully observed the surroundings, wanting to locate something to eat. However, other than darkness, he could see nothing in this dark abyss.

The more he walked closer to the depth of the abyss, the darker his surroundings become. At first, he was able to see at least 100 meters in radius but now, looking at even 10 meters in radius has become increasingly difficult.

But what could he do in the current situation?

Alex endured his hunger and once again continued his journey to the depth of the abyss. Alex had no idea what he'll have to face next, so he took out the Heavy Earth Sword, always ready to strike upon encountering any danger.

Alex did not know for how long he had been in this abyss, maybe one day, one week, or even one month. But he was sure the environment here is too confusing. Not only it does not let one tell the difference between day and night, even telling the passage of time has become difficult.

Alex also felt that one of his senses has disappeared. It was the sense of smell. He could no longer smell anything. For some reason, a strange feeling appeared in his heart. His mind was also telling him if he continued to go deeper, he'll lose more of his senses.

Alex was in a difficult situation now. He did not know what to do.

Should he continue moving forward or should he wait here for someone to come and rescue him?

He knew he could not go back as there was no road to return. He could either move forward and go deeper or stay here and wait for other people to come.

After some time, Alex made up his mind and stepped out once again, walking deeper.

However, he did not even walk for long when he suddenly felt his feet sticking to the ground.

Wait, no!

He was actually sinking down. He could feel his body sinking in the ground as if he has stepped into a swamp. Alex immediately becomes alert. He knew he could not resist, for resistance meant to quicken the process of sinking down.

He has to think of a way to get out of this swamp.

Alex was troubled, but suddenly, his eyes lit up as an attribute panel appeared in front of his eyes.

[Name: Four-direction Swamp Beast.

Grade: Rank 7 Demonic Beast.

Talent: Super Grade Dark Attribute Talent. Super Grade Wind Attribute Talent.

Skills: Death Swamp, Dark Wind Cutter, Death Ray.

Detail: A beast of darkness, likes to stay in a dark and preternatural surrounding and environment. It is a lazy demonic beast. Even when it is hungry, it likes to open its four huge mouths and use them as swamps to fish down its prey. Once stuck in the Death Swamp, death is certain unless one is stronger than the demonic beast. Once the prey stuck in its mouth is enough to fill its hunger, it would close its mouths and sleep for months.]

Alex took deep breaths when he looked at these pieces of information in front of him. He knew he had just fallen into a great danger and there is no way out.

The death is certain, unless a person is stronger than the Four-direction Swamp Beast, it is impossible to break out from the Death Swamp. Well, its Death Swamp was also eerie. This demonic beast actually used its mouths as swamps.

Also, it has four mouths. Looks like its mouths are the reason why this demonic beast is called Four-direction Swamp Beast.

But these are not important right now. What is important is how to get out of Death Swamp. He could feel himself continuously sinking down. Once he completely sank down, there'll really be no way out. What should he do to escape from this danger?

Alex was thinking hard but he could not think of any solution. But he did not give up. Unless he died, he'll definitely continue trying to get out of this perilous situation. His face was filled with struggle. Looking at his face, anyone can say he was thinking hard and was struggling internally.

At the same time, Alex also felt the gaze that was observing him all this time seem to have some change. There seem to be another emotion now, it was 'interest'.

Yes, previously, whoever it is, they were only keeping an eye on Alex. But now, they seem to have taken interest in him.

Maybe, it was because he was trapped in Death Swamp but still did not give up and was thinking hard to replace a way to escape.

Alex did not have time to pay attention to whoever is keeping an eye on him. the important thing right now is to escape from this place and stay out of the sight of this Four-direction Swamp Beast.

Just from the fact that this demonic beast has four heads and uses its four heads as four swamps to capture its prey and eat them, one can imagine how big this demonic beast really is, not to mention, it is also a Rank 7 demonic beast.

"Wait a moment!"

Alex's eyes suddenly light up as he thought of something and muttered, "Maybe, this'll work."
