Chapter 978: Chapter 301 Swamp Encounters Sophia Jones Again_3

Chapter 978 -301 Swamp Encounters Sophia Jones Again_3

Leonard Churchill was very familiar with Sophia Jones’s character.

“I am the world” also allowed him to replace roles and think from another’s perspective, so Leonard Churchill quickly deduced a coordinate.

With that thought, he did not hesitate to change his approach and charged straight toward that target.

Leonard Churchill had not expected his intuition for danger to help him avoid a lethal choice.

“Trudge, trudge, trudge…”

His feet were half submerged in the soft, muddy water, producing a series of subtle sounds as he moved.

As he ventured deeper into the swamp, the surrounding mist gradually thickened.

Glowing algae provided a faint light source, reflecting a pale green color like dense cotton-like poisonous fog.

The swamp’s fog was a complex toxin; the deeper one went, the more potent it became.

Normally, an advanced gas mask wouldn’t completely filter out such a deadly threat, but at this moment, Leonard Churchill was completely unharmed.

Another hidden attribute that followed the infection of the “Blood Plague” came into play at this instant.

In theory, toxins were a branch of the plague, with the Blood Plague being a poison even more toxic than conventional toxins for the average person!

So, serendipitously, Leonard Churchill now had a very high resistance to toxins.

Even if he were to breathe with his mouth and nose exposed, these toxins would have no adverse effects on his body.

However, this area was no longer part of the route mapped by adventurers.

Various dangers lurked in the surrounding slime, such as Tyrant blood leeches, water lizards, green scale flower pythons, demon crocodiles, splendid venomous spiders, parasitic human-faced beetles, burrowing worms, corpse fragrance eating demon flowers… all sorts of highly poisonous creatures were a common sight.

They were predators in the mist, emerging from places one least expected, preying on humans who trespassed into their territory.

Leonard Churchill had previously gleaned detailed information about these swamp creatures from the adventurers, and was familiar with their habits.

He had dashed all the way here without causing too much trouble.

But even so, he had killed quite a few.

At that moment, Leonard Churchill suddenly stopped. The surrounding flying knives flicked off a purple leech that was sucking blood from his skin, dropping a drop of green blood.

As the blood fell onto the exposed aquatic plants in the air, it immediately corroded the tender greenery into a pile of mush.

This was a “new species” not mentioned in the intelligence reports.

It had just been attached to his body, easily biting through his Protective Gang Air, and he hadn’t noticed at all.

If it weren’t for the Blood Plague making the leech’s absorption somewhat poor, Leonard Churchill might have been drained dry without even realizing it.

He looked at the bisected worm corpse and then at the mist so thick he couldn’t see his own hand. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

As his days practicing “Air Perception” went deeper, even without sight, he could clearly sense the many dangerous “air intentions” lurking around him.

Plague Marsh hid too many secrets, and even top-tier card masters wouldn’t dare venture deeply without caution. Leonard Churchill did not believe that he could survive if he continued to blindly wander through.

Moreover, even if he had deduced that Sophia Jones might be nearby, finding her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

At this thought, Leonard Churchill decisively took out a fireworks launcher, arranged some covert signals, and pulled the trigger into the sky!

“Whoosh~”

“Bang!”

The sky burst into brilliant fireworks.

These were distinctive signal fireworks, with light that could penetrate far through the fog.

Leonard Churchill knew the risks of what he was doing.

Although this could possibly be seen by Sophia Jones if she was nearby, it would certainly be seen by the enemy as well.

He then treaded across the void towards a previously explored safe area to hide.

The first signal fireworks attracted no one but a few light-hating monsters.

Leonard Churchill changed his location and triggered it again.

If that didn’t work, he would switch again…

Grids appeared in his mind. Theoretically, if Sophia Jones was indeed in this area, she would eventually see them.

The ultimate gamble was whether Sophia Jones would find him first or whether the enemies would come knocking first!

…

At this very moment, a figure with a pale complexion and clearly not lightly wounded was rapidly retreating through the swamp mist.

As she ran, she occasionally looked back at the mist, her eyes filled with a cold color.

Sophia Jones knew she was being targeted by a tracking card master.

Escaping their perception was nearly impossible.

Moreover, with two seventh tiers among the enemies, Sophia Jones knew full well that if she were to be cornered again, she would have no chance of survival.

The only glimmer of hope she could think of for breaking the situation was to draw the enemy into this more dangerous area.

But risk was relative.

What could be fatally threatening to the seventh tiers was even more so for her.

However, just as Sophia Jones was about to gamble on that slim chance of luck to see if she could encounter a swamp monster that could kill her pursuers, yet allow her to survive before her curse power was completely depleted…

Suddenly!

A firework exploded in the sky.

Although the bright red light of the firework was almost imperceptible behind the mist, Sophia Jones saw it and her expression suddenly turned stern, “That guy…actually came?!”

This custom firework was the signal she had agreed upon with Leonard Churchill!

She knew that Leonard Churchill was infiltrating the enemy’s ranks, but she hadn’t expected him to find her in this way!

Unlike Leonard Churchill’s prediction, Sophia Jones had come to the Plague Marsh earlier than the Thorny Snake Corps.

When she realized that adventurers from the Southern Continent had entered the marsh, she too had tried to contact Leonard Churchill, but “Joel” had disappeared.

So she gave up.

After all, Sophia Jones had come to find the Relics left by the ancestors of the White Family. She didn’t want Leonard Churchill to get involved in such dangerous exploration.
