My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 417

The corner of Nash’s lips curved upward. “Ever heard of the art of lightness?”

He strode away after finishing his sentence.

Heidi was a naturally curious girl, and she turned to Melody, “Melody… Do you also practice the art of lightness?”

“Nash’s true energy has formed an ever-flowing system within his body!

“Such martial artists can leap onto roofs and vault over walls easily. They usually also possess incredible speed because they utilize the energy within their bodies to reduce the weight of their bodies, which usually would bog them down!

“Forming a system as intricate as the one in Nash’s body would require a solid source of true energy, as well as excellent control over the true energy!

“I can do it, but not for extended periods!”

Melody’s lips quivered as she explained things to Heidi.

A look of admiration appeared on Heidi’s face. “I want to learn martial arts too…”

Melody ruffled her hair. “I can teach you!”

Nash was already several hundred yards away from them.

The sludge underneath his feet had started bubbling.

He noticed the mud on his left was flowing forward while the sludge on his left trickled backward.

After activating his Third Eye, he noticed two slowly moving stone steps buried in the sludge.

One was on the left, and the other was on the right.

One moved in a clockwise direction while the other moved in a counter-clockwise direction.

The steps were about eight miles in length but only 20 inches wide.

There was another solid 50 feet of sludge located beneath the steps.

Several creatures that resembled mudfish were squirming around in the mud. Their mouths were filled with sharp-looking teeth.

Nash returned to the group and told Bradley what he had seen.

Melody crossed her arms over her chest and asked, “So, can we use those steps to help us cross the swamp?”

“Yes. This labyrinth must have been built based on the sayings of the heavenly eight-angle trigram, and we’re located in the southeast section of the divine trigram, which mentioned having a swamp within it.

"These creatures survive on sludge, and the sticky substance they secrete from their bodies helps the sludge maintain its stickiness… Most of the sludge near the top isn’t too sticky because eel-tailed catfish prefer to settle about 20 feet below the surface.

"However, if you get too close to them, they’ll attack you as a group. It only takes them about 30 seconds to swallow a whole cow!”

Everyone present drew their breaths involuntarily after hearing what Bradley said.

Nico asked, “Will our multi-poison powder still work?”

Bradley grinned. “The multi-poison powder isn’t effective when used on humans, but it’s deadly to eel-tailed catfish!”

Everyone heaved sighs of relief upon hearing that.

Bradley retrieved a plastic raincoat that could cover his entire body before proceeding to lead the way. As he walked, he scattered multi-poison powder into the sludge.

The sludge grew deeper and deeper. Soon, it came up to their chests.

Nash kept his Third Eye activated and he used it to keep an eye on what was going on inside the sludge.

The eel-tailed catfish had long since run off into the distance.

When they arrived at the area where the sludge began flowing freely, Nash said, “Mr. Bradley, we can’t go any farther…”
