Chapter 342: Chapter 156 Lu Changsheng’s Blade Slashed the Elite Team, Shocking Everyone! Sweeping Across the Golden Swamp with No Rival!
The Golden Swamp, known for its Golden Fruits.
Originally, this was a barren wasteland.
But ever since the discovery of the Golden Fruits, the Golden Swamp became renowned across the entire Ancient Domain.
At least in the first layer of the Ancient Domain, there is no place more famous than the Golden Swamp.
The region is covered in marshes.
Scattered in between are tiny fragments of land sturdy enough for people to stand on.
However, these solid patches of land are far too scarce.
Moreover, they are spaced out, scattered around the Golden Fruit Trees.
The Golden Fruit Trees stand in the heart of the Golden Swamp.
It’s an immense tree, towering dozens of feet high!
Its umbrella-shaped crown is sprawling and vast, with sparse fruits hanging across its branches.
These fruits emit a golden glow, their sheen resembling gold; hence, they are named Golden Fruits.
"Here we are—the Golden Swamp."
Liu Yuan stopped in his tracks.
The Sky Dragon Team had also finally arrived at the Golden Swamp.
Lu Changsheng raised his head, gazing at the enormous Golden Fruit Tree and the glowing Golden Fruits dangling from its branches.
But these Golden Fruits, their golden hue still faint, were evidently not fully ripe yet. It appeared they would require a bit more time to mature.
Meanwhile, the patches of solid ground surrounding the Golden Fruit Tree, within about a ten-mile radius, were almost entirely occupied by martial artists.
Moreover, anyone who had spent some time in the Ancient Domain would likely recognize these squads.
Each and every one of them—absolutely no ordinary contenders—was a famous name.
"The Golden Swamp is extremely perilous. This is no ordinary swamp."
"If a martial artist falls into the swamp, without outside assistance, even a top-tier Divine Astral Realm expert will be swallowed whole and perish."
"Teleportation Talismans won’t work either."
"So, whatever you do, don’t fall into the Golden Swamp,"
Liu Yuan spoke with a heavy tone.
He even made it a point to emphasize the "Teleportation Talismans."
Evidently, this was a special reminder for Lu Changsheng.
After all, Lu Changsheng had obtained a Teleportation Talisman from Xu Haoran the last time.
While the talisman might be a mystical life-saving treasure, it was by no means omnipotent.
In such a terrifying place as the Golden Swamp, even a Teleportation Talisman would spell doom.
Lu Changsheng gazed into the distance.
From afar, he could barely glimpse the outline of the Golden Fruit Tree.
But with his Perception Domain, he could clearly sense the situation surrounding the Golden Tree.
"The area around the Golden Tree is completely free of martial artists."
Lu Changsheng suddenly spoke.
"Of course, no one’s there." freewebnoveℓ.com
"They’re all waiting for the Golden Fruits to ripen."
"If they were to occupy the spot beneath the Golden Tree before the fruits matured, wouldn’t they become the center of everyone’s ire?"
"Lu Changsheng, you don’t really think we’re going to make you hold off countless top-tier squads for an entire month, do you?"
Liu Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.
Lu Changsheng appeared to have almost taken it seriously.
"Once the Golden Fruits ripen, it takes about one hour to pick them."
"That one hour is actually quite ample."
"The vast majority of the Golden Fruits will ripen within the same day. So, everyone’s here waiting for the ripening moment before contesting for them."
"By then, you only need to hold your ground for one or two hours to reap most of the Golden Fruits."
Liu Yuan continued explaining.
Lu Changsheng had begun to understand.
He swept his eyes across the Golden Swamp, observing the martial artists occupying the scattered solid patches of ground, safe from the swamp’s devouring mire.
"So, positioning is critical!"
"Right now, we’re all situated about ten miles away from the Golden Fruit Tree. When the Golden Fruits ripen for the taking, we won’t be able to reach the tree immediately."
"At that point, if someone else gathers all the Golden Fruits—or even just most of them—it would be a monumental loss."
"We need a spot as close to the Golden Fruit Tree as possible."
Lu Changsheng had roughly grasped the "rules" of competing for the Golden Fruits.
First, secure an advantageous location, then patiently wait for the Golden Fruits to mature.
"Exactly, we need to secure a prime location—ideally, one nearest to the Golden Fruit Tree."
"But the closer the squads are to the Golden Fruit Tree, the stronger they tend to be."
"And anyway, all the spots close to the Golden Fruit Tree have already been taken."
Liu Yuan’s expression grew increasingly solemn.
Clearly, they had arrived too late.
"No matter. We’ll just chase those squads away and take their place!"
Lu Changsheng had already "chosen" a spot with a single glance.
The position closest to the Golden Fruit Tree—no more than a dozen feet away.
A single leap would carry someone directly to the Golden Fruit Tree.
It was the perfect location!
Following Lu Changsheng’s gaze, Liu Yuan noticed the spot as well.
"That’s... the Lingshu Team?"
Liu Yuan’s expression abruptly changed.
"Lu Changsheng, perhaps we should reconsider and pick another location?"
"The Lingshu Team is no simple group. While they might not be the strongest in the first layer of the Ancient Domain, they have achieved an astounding feat in the past."
"They once encountered a Divine Storage Realm martial artist, and in a direct confrontation, they managed to retreat unscathed! Even if they did rely on some Immortal Dao System treasures, the ability to withstand attacks from a Divine Storage Realm expert speaks volumes about their terrifying strength."
"They’ve secured the best spot in the Golden Swamp. It’s obvious that the other top-tier squads have acknowledged their strength."
Liu Yuan spoke in a grave tone.
Whether the Lingshu Team was the strongest squad in the first layer of the Ancient Domain was unclear.
But it was evident that the other top-tier squads respected the Lingshu Team’s capabilities.
They deemed it unwise to clash head-on with the Lingshu Team and had tacitly accepted their occupation of the best spot.
"Hesitate now, and you’ll lag behind at every step."
"Who knows what kind of treasures those top-tier squads might have? What if they sweep up all the Golden Fruits?"
