Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Crossing Black Water Pond Together
A slight mistake could lead to eternal doom.
At this moment, the team members were clearly stunned by Chen Feng’s proposal, each drawing a cold breath.
Because they all knew clearly in their hearts,
Collaborating with demons was risky; a slip could lead to disastrous consequences.
Moreover, Black Tiger and his Black Tiger Team were evidently no kinder than demons.
"Brother Chen Feng, isn’t this proposal too risky?"
Even Liehuo, who always supported Chen Feng, seemed a bit hesitant now.
Previously, no matter how bold Chen Feng’s ideas were,
Liehuo could always see a glimmer of hope, which was why he had followed Chen Feng’s advice multiple times.
But this time, no matter how he thought about it, Liehuo felt that the danger was overwhelming.
He knew all too well about Black Tiger’s character.
Dealing with such a person using schemes was extremely challenging.
"Yes, Brother Chen, this... this is indeed too risky!"
Peter Martin also spoke up.
The other team members nodded in agreement, clearly thinking that the plan was overly risky.
Only Ye Qianrou consistently supported Chen Feng from start to finish.
However, she held little weight in the team, and her support alone wasn’t very useful.
Facing everyone’s doubts, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said:
"Risk is inevitable. Along the way, when was there ever a time without risk? If we give up great opportunities just for a bit of risk, wouldn’t that be a shame?"
"Honestly, with just our team’s strength, it’s nearly impossible to cross the Black Water Pond unscathed."
"But if we seize this opportunity, I guarantee that the Liehuo Team will definitely cross safely!"
"Is this true?"
Liehuo’s eyes flashed with suspicion as he questioned.
"True!"
Chen Feng nodded with a calm demeanor.
"Brother Chen, how confident are you in this matter?"
Peter Martin frowned and asked Chen Feng.
"Seventy percent. For the rest, just watch my eyes and act accordingly; then there’ll be no issues."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"Since that’s the case, then... let’s listen to Brother Chen Feng once more!"
After pondering, Liehuo decided firmly.
"Alright, it’s all or nothing anyway!"
Peter Martin also nodded, deciding.
With the captain and vice-captain both having spoken, the other team members naturally had no objections.
Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled slightly and then looked at Liehuo and said, "Captain, the next act is yours. Whether they take the bait depends on your acting skills!"
After speaking, Chen Feng leaned over to Liehuo and explained his plan.
"No problem, leave it to me!"
Liehuo pounded his chest, promising after listening.
He then turned directly and looked at Black Tiger not far away, his face filled with "conflicted" expressions, and said to Black Tiger, "Black Tiger, are you serious about your proposal to collaborate?"
As Black Tiger saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He knew the Liehuo Team had taken the bait.
He quickly nodded and said, "Absolutely serious, I also want to cross the Black Water Pond, hence my sincere intention to collaborate with you!"
"Alright, then I declare in advance, if during the process of crossing the Black Water Pond you dare to have any tricks, I will risk my life to bring you down with me!"
Liehuo glared at Black Tiger, gritting his teeth and said.
"Relax, though I’m not an upright person, I never harm my partners!"
Black Tiger grinned as he promised.
Internally, however, he was sneering, thinking: Liehuo, Liehuo, you’re still too simple-minded; soon, this Black Water Pond will be your grave!
"If that’s the case, let’s temporarily set aside our previous grievances and collaborate to cross the Black Water Pond!"
Liehuo nodded in agreement.
"Haha, as expected of Liehuo, straightforward indeed!"
Black Tiger laughed heartily, saying.
And the deep happiness in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
"Do you have any plans?"
Liehuo looked at Black Tiger and asked.
"Not at the moment. Do you have any plans yourself?"
Black Tiger smiled and asked.
"There is a plan, which involves each of our teams sending out an Earth Rank cultivator to distract the Black Water Crocodile."
"Allowing the other team members to swiftly cross the Black Water Pond, and then these two Earth Rank cultivators will extricate themselves. What do you think of this plan?"
Without even thinking, Liehuo relayed Chen Feng’s previous plan to Black Tiger.
Since it was a collaboration, he also had the Black Tiger Team send out an Earth Rank cultivator.
And this was Chen Feng’s intention.
"This plan is quite simple, yet highly feasible. A decent plan indeed. As for the two cultivators who need to distract the Black Water Crocodile and extricate themselves, their strength should not be weak..."
At this point, Black Tiger shifted his gaze, his eyes flashing, then looked at Liehuo, smiling as he said:
"Why not have us two captains take on the task and distract the Black Water Crocodile?"
Upon these words, both Liehuo and Chen Feng internally breathed a sigh of relief.
They had indeed hooked the big fish!
The two exchanged glances and nodded.
Then Liehuo turned back to Black Tiger, nodded, and said, "No problem, let’s settle on that!"
"Alright then, let’s skip the chit-chat and prepare for action!"
Black Tiger’s lips curled slightly, smiling as he said.
"Yes, prepare for action!"
Liehuo nodded.
Subsequently, led by the two captains, both teams marched fiercely toward the Black Water Pond.
As soon as they approached the vicinity of the Black Water Pond, toxin-filled fog enveloped the surroundings.
But this toxic fog was not much of a problem for cultivators.
They only needed to release their True Qi to block the toxic fog entirely.
During this time, many poisonous insects and some venomous frogs launched attacks on the two teams.
But at the moment, with both teams merged, there were over ten Earth Rank cultivators.
These poisonous insects were obviously unable to become a threat, and were swiftly eliminated upon approaching.
In this manner, everyone arrived smoothly at the shore of the Black Water Pond.
From afar, it appeared to be a stretch of murky marshland.
The swamp seemed connected to Hell itself, continuously emanating chilling coldness.
And within the swamp, several things were vaguely swimming.
Though unclear in outline, from the movement and ripples they caused, it was clear they must be massive creatures.
And in the Black Water Pond, what else could there be but the Black Water Crocodile?
"Shall we start the action?"
Black Tiger glanced at the Black Water Crocodiles, then turned to Liehuo, speaking.
"Alright!"
Liehuo nodded, then turned to everyone and said, "Shortly, I and Black Tiger will be heading northwest to create commotion and draw the Black Water Crocodiles away. You all seize the opportunity to cross the Black Water Pond!"
