Chapter 81: Sinking Swamp
After collecting the tribute from the shallow-water crocodile, Lu Hao continued to move forward, killing low-level monsters along the way, and reached his destination, the Sinking Swamp.
System prompt: You have entered the Sinking Swamp.
Following a prompt from the system, Ma Yingjie felt that the surrounding environment had changed. The field of vision, which was originally full of green grass and a water town, suddenly became turbid.
The ground beneath my feet seemed to have turned into water. Every time I stepped on it, I would sink very deeply, which greatly slowed down my ability to move.
Damn the terrain factor, this is the first terrain that affects the action. Although the Land of the Dead will allow dark creatures to increase their abilities, it has no such side effects on players.
After comparing the coordinates, Ma Yingjie moved towards the location of the Golden Scorpion King.
A three-inch scorpion was wandering around not far away, and he threw a probe at the scorpion.
[Water Scorpion] (Common monster) A species derived from the Sinking Swamp. It can hide by taking advantage of the terrain and is poisonous.

Looking at the black tail of the water scorpion that was raised high behind it, with a terrifying look, Ma Yingjie threw a Dark Judgment at it, causing -710 damage to the scorpion's head.
The level 35 water scorpion was obviously easy to defeat, but for Lu Hao, who was pursuing high experience, it was not ideal. Moreover, his target this time was their leader, the Golden Scorpion King. Therefore, Lu Hao was too lazy to get entangled with them. After killing the water scorpion, he tried to avoid them as much as possible.
Suddenly, there was a sound of fighting in front. At first, Ma Yingjie didn't pay attention to it. After all, players over level 30 are the mainstream now, and players have been active in this kind of monster area for a long time.
But a familiar scream made Lu Hao look more. With just one glance, he saw Lan Ruoshi, who was with him not long ago, and several other little girls.
Ma Yingjie let the puppets stay where they were and move freely, and he went to where the girls were.
A dark judgment killed a water scorpion with low health in front of the women, and Lu Hao walked over. Seeing Lu Hao passing by, Yue Se Qing Kuang drew out her sword and wanted to defend herself, while Yue Se Qing Wu cheered and shouted hello to Lu Hao.
"How did you get here? You're so much faster than me?" Ma Yingjie nodded at Yue Se Qing Wu and simply ignored Yue Se's frivolous provocation.
"We just arrived a while ago. We have been leveling up here, so we are familiar with the route." Warrior Blue Rose said. The strength that Ma Yingjie showed in the arena impressed Blue Rose, a woman who advocated violence, and she was no longer as cold to him as before.
"Ahem, it just so happens that I also accepted the mission here." Ma Yingjie was somewhat helpless about Blue Rose's advances. Ma Yingjie was not interested in violent women, and of course that was completely different in bed.
"Brother Yingzi, let me hug you." Seeing that Ma Yingjie ignored her, Yuese Qingwu ran to Ma Yingjie's front, stretched out her jade hands to hug Ma Yingjie, and hugged him tightly.
As soon as their bodies touched, Ma Yingjie felt his chest was soft and comfortable. As a normal man, Ma Yingjie certainly knew what was going on. Although there were so many people watching and it was not very decent, Ma Yingjie was really reluctant to give up this feeling.
Ma Yingjie is sure that Yue Se Qing Wu's breasts are much bigger than Ning Xiao Ya's. With his long experience, he should still be a little behind. However, between the two, Ma Yingjie still likes Ning Xiao Ya. After all, the difference in IQ can be made up by breast size.
Besides, ever since he was forced to become Yuese Qingwu's brother, Ma Yingjie has always treated Yuese Qingkuang as his sister. Although he is suspected of taking advantage of her now, can this be blamed on Ma Yingjie? This little girl always stimulates Ma Yingjie intentionally or unintentionally. No matter how gentlemanly Ma Yingjie is, he is still a normal man, and he will still have normal physiological reactions.
"Shadow, you bastard, let my sister go quickly, or I will not be polite." Yuese Qingwu looked at Lu Hao who was reluctant to leave her body angrily, and shouted loudly. If she didn't think she could beat Lu Hao, Lu Hao would have been injured by now.
"Brother Shadow, this is really not a good idea." Lan Ruoshi said with a flushed face. She held the staff tightly in her hand and looked very nervous. It was obvious that she was a girl who had never experienced liberation and did not look at anything.
"Ahem, the weather is really nice today." Ma Yingjie reluctantly pushed Yue Se Qing Wu out of his arms and said awkwardly.
"Yeah, it didn't rain today, and I was drying clothes on the balcony." Lan Ruoshi looked at Lu Haotian seriously and said, leaving the girls next to her speechless.
It seems that people are not good or bad, but their IQs determine their differences. Although Lan Ruoshi's breasts are not as big as Yue Se Qing Wu's, her butt is far beyond Yue Se Qing Wu's reach, which can be considered as each having its own advantages.
"Brother Shadow, what mission did you accept? Is it also to kill water scorpions?" Feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Blue Rose came to the rescue of Ma Yingjie.
"No, I'm here to kill the Golden Scorpion King. Are you here to kill the Water Scorpion?"
"Each of us has accepted the task of killing 200 water scorpions. This will quickly increase the credibility of our mercenary group." Looking at Ma Yingjie in surprise, Blue Rose answered everything.
"What level of mission is yours?" Ma Yingjie asked after thinking for a while.
"D-level, where's yours?" said a girl whose name Lu Hao couldn't remember.
"B-level." Ma Yingjie said calmly, and then found that the withered Bauhinia was not among them and asked, "Where is our leader? Why is she not with you?"
"Yes, the Golden Scorpion King should be the boss. The difficulty of the mission is certainly higher than ours." Yuese Qingwu said.
"Our eldest sister went to level up alone. We don't know what mission she accepted. She seldom levels up with us. She only guides us when she is free." Blue Rose said unhappily, as if blaming the withered Bauhinia for not accompanying them, a burden.
"Your eldest sister must maintain your ranking on the leaderboard. Only when the ranking goes up can our mercenary group become famous. You must also work harder to get into the top 100 of the Dragon City rankings."
"Of course, I'm ranked 97th now." Blue Rose said proudly, patting her chest.
"Keep up the good work and strive to defeat the 96th Juhua..."
"..."
"Brother Shadow, I want to go with you to fight the Golden Scorpion King." Yue Se Qing Wu pestered Lu Hao and made Lu Hao feel embarrassed.
After all, it would be very uncomfortable to have a few light bulbs nearby, what's more, there is also the 1,000-watt super light bulb, Yuese Qingkuang, which might explode and hurt yourself.
"Yes, Brother Shadow, let us go with you. I really want to see how the No. 1 Necromancer operates." Blue Rose also encouraged Ma Yingjie to come. In addition to Yue Se Qing Kuang, the other girls next to him also echoed her.
System prompt: Player Blue Rose invites you to join the team, do you accept?
"accept."
Looking at the information of several girls in the team, Ma Yingjie couldn't help but admire the system from the bottom of his heart. It was really great. Why didn't he notice it when he was in a team with the Withered Bauhinia before?
The women's profiles read:
Lan Ruoshi: Female, height 168, weight 48 kg, soft curves, eight-star figure (the system does not take appearance into account in order to take care of some female comrades who look patriotic...).
Yuese Qingkuang: Female, height 172, weight 54 kg, strong physique, seven-star figure.
……
"Okay, follow me if you want, but let me make this clear first. I may not be able to take good care of you when the time comes. Don't blame me if you die." It seemed that there was no hope of getting rid of this group of encumbrances today, so Ma Hao agreed.
I learned from the girls that their tasks are shared, that is, each person's task is calculated based on the total number of monsters killed by the team. For example, if the team kills 100 water scorpions, then each person's task list will show that 100 were killed.
After learning about this situation, Lu Hao directly summoned his puppet team. Amid the screams of the girls, Lu Hao once again felt the feeling of being in the arms of a warm and soft girl. Of course, this time was different from the last time. In addition to Yue Se Qing Wu, there was also Lan Ruo Shi, allowing Lu Hao to truly satisfy his urge to touch Lan Ruo Shi's plump butt.
"Are those your summons?" After enduring for a long time, Blue Rose finally couldn't help asking Ma Yingjie. After getting Ma Yingjie's confirmation, Blue Rose looked at Ma Yingjie with admiration, which gave Ma Yingjie an illusion that Blue Rose had been conquered by him, and she would accept it even if he asked her for sex.
Of course, this is just Ma Yingjie's illusion. Ma Yingjie is not stupid enough to do such a thing, otherwise a dangerous incident that would make his relatives sad and his enemies happy would probably happen next.
Yue Seqing, who was standing aside, didn't say anything, but the provocative look she had originally given Ma Yingjie became somewhat docile, just like the obedience a wild horse showed after seeing an excellent horse trainer.
The puppets cleaned up the water scorpions they met along the way, while the women followed behind them with Ma Yingjie at a distance. For the women, it was undoubtedly unforgivable that the puppets looked like this.
"The location of the Golden Scorpion King is ahead." The cleaning along the way allowed the girls to complete most of their tasks, and at the same time, Ma Yingjie also arrived at his destination.
There is a saying that goes, working together as a man and a woman is not tiring. Ma Hao has experienced this. The originally boring journey became particularly pleasant with the addition of the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers by the women.
If Yue Se Qing Wu hadn't teased Ma Yingjie from time to time, keeping the hormones in Ma Yingjie's body in an excited state, the journey would have been more enjoyable.
During this period, Ma Yingjie had to hide his lower body many times. Fortunately, the robe was loose enough to hide any indecent things.
Pushing aside the grass in front of him, he looked at a large swamp without vegetation. A scorpion emitting golden light was entangled on it. There was no doubt that this was Ma Yingjie's target.
[Golden Scorpion King] (Boss Monster) The sun is strong, and its long life turns a water scorpion into a king of scorpions under the sun. The Golden Scorpion King has the same radiance as the sun, and its golden skin looks particularly gorgeous under the sun's reflection.

Ma Yingjie posted the attributes he saw on the team channel. Several girls took a deep breath. Lan Ruoshi even suggested returning the same way, saying that there was still a little hope when they had a chance to call the withered Bauhinia to fight together.
Yue Se Qing Kuang, who was frustrated, insisted on fighting. Of course, this was not out of kindness, but she just wanted to see Ma Yingjie's joke. Since she, a berserker, got close and was defeated by a mage, she became a joke among the women. Yue Se Qing Kuang wanted to take this opportunity to let Ma Yingjie taste the taste of failure, so as to make up for the trauma in her heart caused by this man.
"We have a chance, come here." Ma Yingjie extended his hand to the girls mysteriously, signaling them to come closer to him.
