Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings-Chapter 207 - 201: Muddy Swamp

The vehicles traveled along the road to Ze City, and this time, Lin Yuan brought more than fifty people.

Among these people, a small portion were Life Pattern Masters who sought refuge with Lin Yuan. The majority were under the command of Yang Dingguo.

Lin Yuan had fewer subordinates, and their overall strength was relatively strong, so training them was not of much concern.

Yang Dingguo, on the other hand, had many subordinates, especially those newly recruited civilian Life Pattern Masters, who generally lacked strength.

This was a perfect opportunity to enhance their overall strength.

Lin Yuan's relationship with Yang Dingguo had reached a point where they were indistinguishable.

Therefore, helping Yang Dingguo was equivalent to helping himself.

Before the supernatural invasion, Ze City was a third-tier city with a population of several million.

Unfortunately, Ze City lacked a decisive figure like Yang Dingguo.

Due to indecisiveness in dealing with sinister events, the survivors in Ze City were minimal.

Currently, the total number of survivors in Ze City is only around two to three hundred thousand, a heavy loss indeed.

As the saying goes, when soldiers lose their courage, the entire battalion falters.

Without a capable leader, the situation in Ze City compared to Peng City is like night and day.

"Boss, the Mud Crocodile's deceitful domain is southwest of Ze City. To avoid the Tier Five Evil Spirit Mud Crocodile, the survivors in Ze City have relocated their shelter to a mountain fortification in the northwest of the city."

"Should we first go to the Ze City shelter or directly seek out the Mud Crocodile?" Zhuge Ming asked, pointing to two locations on the map in the vehicle.

These two locations were the whereabouts of the Mud Crocodile and the Ze City shelter.

"Let's go directly to the Mud Crocodile, skipping the Ze City shelter!"

"The sooner we deal with this Mud Crocodile, the sooner we can return home," Lin Yuan said slowly.

With Lin Yuan's current status and position, upon reaching Ze City,

the official in charge of Ze City would have to host Lin Yuan no matter what.

Furthermore, it would have to be the highest level of reception.

Besides the good wine and food, there might even be a few young women arranged for Lin Yuan.

Even though these wildflowers are enchanting,

the young women outside are probably not bad either.

However, once a wanderer returns home, nothing is more valuable than gold, and Lin Yuan has reformed his ways.

Actually, it's not about reforming.

But last night, Bai Ling'Er and Wen Yingying's relay drained Lin Yuan's stamina completely.

Even if you give him twin sisters now, he is exhausted.

So, he decided to skip Ze City and head directly to the location of the Mud Crocodile.

...

...

Ze City.

Southwest direction.

Before the supernatural invasion, there were villages and towns here.

Although life wasn't prosperous, it was peaceful and content.

After the supernatural invasion, the situation changed drastically.

Living in constant fear every day, afraid to fall victim to Evil Spirits, the days were precarious.

After the Mud Crocodile arrived, an area within thirty miles was transformed into a swamp.

The survivors here all became food for the Mud Crocodile.

The Mud Crocodile had indeed become the ruler of this place.

In terms of combat power, the Mud Crocodile is considered the weakest among Tier Five Evil Spirits.

Its strengths are its defense and its exceptional evasion skills; it's incredibly difficult to catch it in this swamp.

If the Mud Crocodile were within the territory of Peng City, it would have died by Lin Yuan's hand long ago, with grass growing over its grave.

The Mud Crocodile isn't strong among Tier Five Evil Spirits, but the official forces in Ze City are even weaker!

Since they couldn't contend with the Mud Crocodile, they chose to avoid it and relocated their shelter far away.

Given the distance between the Mud Crocodile's deceitful domain and the official shelter, both sides leave each other alone for now.

Ze City was also a city surrounding Peng City, and after several hours of travel, Lin Yuan and his team arrived at the Mud Crocodile's domain.

Seeing the Mud Crocodile's deceitful domain, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "This is nothing but ruins."

"As far as the eye can see, everything is in ruins."

"On the dark swamp, not a single blade of grass grows, showing no signs of any plant life."

"Moreover, approaching the swamp, you can distinctly smell the stench of silt in the air."

"Looking afar, you can occasionally see rooftops emerging from the swamp and some white bones."

The Mud Crocodile's deceitful domain, among those Lin Yuan had encountered, was the simplest and most wretched.

Whether it was the deceitful domain of the younger brother's wife, the Golden Armor Zombie, or Mr. Yimu Wu.

Other Tier Five Evil Spirits' deceitful demons at least look a bit eerie and scary.

Your Mud Crocodile is also a Tier Five Evil Spirit, but your deceitful demon is just a mud pit?

Goodness, looking at this big mud pit, if Lin Yuan hadn't been informed beforehand, he'd think this was Peppa Pig's deceitful demon.

Anyway, just pulling the enemy in the mud pit together is enough.

"Boss, here it is!"

"Shall we go in?" Zhuge Ming asked Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded decisively and said, "Let's go in, get it done early and hurry back."

"If we're lucky, we might still make dinner in the shelter."

From Lin Yuan's tone, you can sense his confidence.

In the eyes of other Life Pattern Masters, the invincible Tier Five Evil Spirits are nothing more than paper tigers to Lin Yuan.

At Lin Yuan's command, several Tier Six Life Pattern Masters in the team stepped forward.

The abilities of these Tier Six Life Pattern Masters are all earth-related.

Since they've already studied the Mud Crocodile's information, Lin Yuan and his team are well-prepared.

It's difficult to walk in the swamp, and it's also easy to be attacked by the little crocodiles hiding within.

These earth attribute Life Pattern Masters are responsible for creating a path through the swamp.

Several earth attribute Life Pattern Masters began using their abilities.

The tattoos on these Life Pattern Masters are mostly images of earth attribute Exotic Beasts.

Some Exotic Beasts Lin Yuan didn't even recognize; if he were to check the Shan Hai Jing, he'd definitely find them.

The most awesome one has a tattoo of the Earth Deity.

This Earth Deity tattoo isn't very strong in combat, but is very appropriate for the current task.

Soon, thanks to these Life Pattern Masters, the mud on the edge of the swamp started to solidify, eventually forming a road.

The road is laid, Lin Yuan waved his hand, and the team proceeded deeper into the swamp.

This temporarily solidified road is about twenty to thirty meters wide, approximately one hundred meters long, and outside the road it's still a swamp.

These earth attribute Life Pattern Masters are here for support work; most are Tier Seven Life Pattern Masters.

Only the Life Pattern Master with the Earth Deity tattoo, who solidifies the swamp fastest, is a Tier Six Life Pattern Master.

If these people combine their efforts and fully exert themselves, they can ensure real solid ground within a diameter of three to five hundred meters underneath.

In a swamp battle, these ordinary Life Pattern Masters are at a disadvantage.

The function of these earth attribute Life Pattern Masters is to solidify a piece of land so that other Life Pattern Masters in charge of combat can fully exert their abilities.

Based on Lin Yuan's experience, now, the Mud Crocodile is surely hiding in the deepest part of the swamp.

So, to find him, they need to move forward.

At the edge of the swamp, they haven't even encountered one of the Mud Crocodile's minions, let alone the Tier Five Evil Spirit Mud Crocodile.

Having walked about a thousand meters forward, everyone could clearly feel the ground shaking beneath them.

"Thud! Thud!"

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

The tremor transmitted through the feet to the body was distinctly perceptible.

The tremor lasted about ten seconds, then gradually diminished and finally disappeared.

"Boss, was that an earthquake?" Zhang Zhen quickly asked.

Lin Yuan: "???????"

Looking at the idiot Zhang Zhen, Lin Yuan thought to himself, earthquake, earthquake my foot, does this look like an earthquake?

Before Lin Yuan could answer, Zhuge Ming replied first: "It's not an earthquake; something beneath us just tried to break through the ground but failed."

"Now it seems like an Evil Spirit is approaching."

Zhang Zhen paused, gripping his Wind-Thunder Golden Rod, he looked around and shouted: "Evil Spirits, where are the Evil Spirits."

"If you mention Evil Spirits, then I'm not sleepy anymore!"

In this deceitful demon, apart from the Tier Five Evil Spirit Mud Crocodile, there are many low-level Evil Spirits.

Moreover, these low-level Evil Spirits under Mud Crocodile's command are all crocodiles.

The tremor just now was caused by them solidifying a large part of the swamp; the crocodiles inside wanted to burrow out, but found they couldn't.

The crocodile heads kept ramming against the solidified swamp, hence the tremor noise was perceived.

Zhang Zhen is a battle maniac, at the mention of fighting, he'd get excited as if on adrenaline.

Hearing about nearby Evil Spirits, he can't wait to rush out and fight.

Lin Yuan slapped the back of Zhang Zhen's head and said irritably: "Save your breath and do more later..."

As Lin Yuan spoke here, he paused slightly, his sharp gaze fixed ahead.

Now, ahead, behind, and on the left and right sides, in the swamp areas where roads aren't solidified.

The mud in the swamp faintly bulged, and even small bubbles surfaced.
