To deal with this, you must have a few large-sized Gu creatures.
For example, the large Mangcang Red Toad or large snakes and pythons that aren't afraid of being swallowed whole.
To avoid the flying sword being knocked down again, Su Yu didn't dare to seek multi-stage damage. The flying sword pierced and sliced around the Poisonous Toad at the fastest speed; flexible and fast, the Poisonous Toad's repeated tongue thrusts failed to hit.
Constant depletion back and forth, the Poisonous Toad's blood volume slowly decreased and soon halved.
"Bang!"
The muddy water on the ground exploded as the Poisonous Toad shot up into the sky, opening its mouth with its tongue ready to strike.
At this moment, Su Yu's left hand formed a palm and slammed down fiercely, with purple Mana converging into the palm and slamming down.
"Bang!"
"-3150"
A massive damage number shot up, the tongue that popped out exploded into pieces, and the purple Qi palm smashed down on the Poisonous Toad's body, causing the huge body to deform and crash into the swamp like a meteor, creating a large pit.
"Mr. Su, strong!"
Su Yu smiled slightly, combined two swords into one stroke, and the flying sword swept over the Poisonous Toad's corpse, capturing the loot light sphere that emerged.
Casually opening the light sphere, Su Yu was slightly surprised and threw the contents to Zhuang Zhuo.
"It's for you."
Zhuang Zhuo was equally stunned as he caught it, and a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Indeed, it's for me."
It was a batch of Poisonous Toad eggs, totaling 2021, which could hatch a group of Poisonous Toads, useful whether for personal use or refining Gu.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"According to market value, this thing is worth two taels of silver, one half for each person."
"Alright."
Su Yu didn't act pretentious and accepted the one tael of silver that Zhuang Zhuo traded over.
Temporary teams are like this, splitting the loot evenly.
As for the Poisonous Toad, it can be skinned, toxic glands collected, or the corpse directly collected to feed pet beasts, or used for refining corpses, ghosts, Gu, and demon blood food.
The corpse of small monsters around level forty or fifty costs roughly 2 Wen.
Reasonably speaking, it's not cheap. Normally, when grinding levels and killing so many elite monsters, you can earn a few hundred to a thousand a day, summing up to quite a lot of money.
But the problem is that these things can't stack up like other materials; they can't fit much in their initial 20 slots of storage space.
So unless it's a BOSS body, it's not worth picking up. Ordinary wild monsters are generally not picked up, unless for refining corpses, ghosts, Gu, or demon, then the blood food is specially collected.
The two continued to wander back and forth in this muddy ground, clearing various poisonous insect monsters hidden in the swamp.
About an hour and a half later, a sword light flew in from afar, revealing a young man in a white magical robe who waved straight at the two and asked:
"Where is that big monster you mentioned?"
Su Yu and Zhuang Zhuo flew over; he raised his hand. The flying sword shot into the puddle and flew out from the mud on the other side. The next second, the puddle surged, and small tentacles flew out one by one.
Mutant Swamp Locust (Elite): Level 66, Qi and Blood 26500, Demonic Power 800, Attack 1600, Speed 8 km/h, Skills: Penetrate, Vampiric, Disgusting Attack.
The young man extended his hand to grab virtually, and strands of thunderlight gathered in his palm, formed into a rapidly agitated Divine Thunder, and pressed it down.
"Boom!"
The violent thunder exploded a large pit in the puddle and surroundings, revealing an extremely weird-looking monster hidden in the mud beneath.
It appeared like a tangled mass of tree roots, a wriggling meatball with a diameter of several meters, covered in fleshy tendrils wildly oscillating and flailing, looking extremely disgusting.
The young man raised an eyebrow when he saw this, reached out a hand to grasp a simple flying sword, and fiercely slashed downward. A hundred-meter-long sword rainbow fell down like a wall, severing the flailing tendrils one by one. The sword rainbow cleaved the meatball, and milky white mucus mixed with blood spurted out.
Although this elite monster was fairly high-level, it had no chance to retaliate against the master, getting battered and shattered into dozens of pieces, dying quickly.
Finished the task, collected the loot, and leaped up, disappearing in a flash, leaving the two still in shock.
"So powerful."
Zhuang Zhuo murmured:
"A man should be like this, and we must also become such masters."
Su Yu nodded:
"Let's continue."
Ten minutes later, they arrived at a swamp island. Just as they approached, the grey-green forest on the island suddenly buzzed, and soon an acre-large black cloud rose from the forest and swooped toward them.
Looking closely, it wasn't a black cloud but a swarm of fist-sized bloodsucking mosquitoes gathered into a cloud.
"Damn, this thing can't be blocked, run fast."
Zhuang Zhuo didn't say a word, steering the Greenwood Boat to turn around. Su Yu acted even quicker, directly sword flying to escape.
Fortunately, the mosquito swarm wasn't fast, and after chasing for a while without success, it returned.
The two didn't go back, just marked the earlier coordinates and sent them to the temporary base number five, asking the base to dispatch experts to clear it out.
Over the next few days, Su Yu definitely opened his eyes, seeing countless strange and bizarre elite monsters in this Poisonous Mist Swamp, from groups of bugs just over level ten to large monsters at level seventy or eighty, and occasionally seeing BOSSes that chased them like madmen.
It's also fortunate that they could fly, always cautiously suspended at high altitudes, never daring to engage when encountering slightly higher-level elite monsters, remaining quite stable.
It took almost four or five days to clear the area around temporary base number five, then the two followed the team deeper into the swamp, as the guild was establishing other temporary bases deeper inside.
Additionally, the guild's main fleet had already advanced deep into the swamp, establishing a permanent base on a large island, constructing a grand array and opening the area channel for Poisonous Mist Swamp, allowing many guild members to communicate in real-time via a temporary channel.
The base established, a large number of guild members gathered, and in just a few days, more than 200,000 people had gathered.
Apart from guild members, there were many affiliate members and non-guild members.
Affiliate members typically consist of guild members' families, team-hired non-guild members by guild members themselves, and the half of new recruits brushed out each year.
Non-guild members are teams attached to the guild, such as workers, merchants, freelancers, etc.
They are active along the Yuanjiang and Chensha River and Taihu Mountain Range, centered around Thousand Feather City, purchasing houses in the city for supply purposes during normal times.
Generally, in large guild activities like attacking demon villages, they are allowed to participate, and they can also accept tasks issued by the guild to earn guild contributions, with which they can exchange items from the Thousand Feather Guild.
The Poisonous Mist Swamp is so large that relying solely on tens of thousands of guild members might take forever to clear.
But if there are hundreds of thousands of non-guild members clearing together, the speed increases significantly.
After arriving here, aside from grinding monsters, Su Yu and Zhuang Zhuo would occasionally glance at the area channel. When encountering monsters they couldn't handle, they would send out coordinates, and within a minute, someone would arrive.
"There is a floating island near temporary base 22, with a large group of Golden-bearded Mosquitoes, good material for refining Gu. Brothers who need it, come quickly."
Zhuang Zhuo immediately became interested upon seeing this information and asked:
"Mr. Su, I want to catch some Golden-bearded Mosquitoes. Do you want to come?"
Su Yu shook his head and said:
"I can't handle such a large group of elite monsters, not going."
"Then I'll go first, see you later."
"Alright."
He immediately urged the Greenwood Boat towards temporary base 22.
Su Yu didn't mind and continued directing his flying sword to cut at a Black-Scaled Long Snake hidden in the muddy water, and with a flick of the sword, he brought over a Loach Spirit covered in black scales.
With a few swift slashes, he cut the Long Snake, and the flying sword crisscrossed back and forth, slicing the Loach into a few pieces.
No need to rest, the flying sword darted into a large patch of weeds, splashing out a large amount of water, from which emerged a Snake Spirit over ten meters long. It opened its mouth, shooting a venomous water arrow into the sky over a hundred meters high, but unable to reach the figure flying over two hundred meters in the air.
After taking a few hits, the Long Snake turned and drilled into the water, a large section of ebony suddenly burst out, it was a Swamp Crocodile over ten meters long, biting the snake's body and rolling fiercely.
Su Yu did not watch the show. The sword light flew over like a rainbow and circled around both the snake and crocodile, slicing back and forth, while also summoning three Fireballs with his left hand using the Three Yang Fan to smash down.
The flying sword slashed back and forth at a high frequency, causing explosive damage, soon cutting the Long Snake into two segments and then finishing off the Swamp Crocodile with the flying sword and Fireballs together.
