Inside Black Mist Marsh, there were other Jiaolongs hidden, something Zhou Chun had not anticipated.
Furthermore, within the perception of Thunder Jiaolong Baibai, the aura of that Jiaolong was much stronger than its own. Even if it wasn't a Fourth Order Jiaolong, it was definitely a Third Order top-tier Demon Beast.
"The elder from Blackwood Sect previously mentioned that this Bandit Cultivator Organization is called 'Black Dragon', so it seems that Jiaolong is either a Dark Jiaolong or an Ink Jiaolong!"
Zhou Chun recalled the conversation between the male and female bandit cultivators with the elder from Blackwood Sect and instantly understood.
He had heard before that the leader of the bandit cultivators in Black Mist Marsh was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. Now, with the appearance of at least a Third Order top-tier Jiaolong, the foundation of the "Black Dragon" organization was not shallow at all.
No wonder the bandit cultivator pair remained calm in the face of the elder's threats.
"Murong Luo must have joined the 'Black Dragon' organization, and he might be practicing cultivation within the thief's nest hidden inside the underwater cave."
"Now that I know the location of the thief's nest, I might as well guard nearby. I don't believe he can stay inside cultivating forever."
"However, since Baibai has been able to sense the aura left by that Jiaolong, I can't casually let Baibai out anymore, lest that Jiaolong suddenly appears and senses Baibai's remaining aura!"
Zhou Chun's gaze flickered as he quickly decided what to do.
Immediately, he let Thunder Jiaolong Baibai lead the way, rushing toward the vicinity of the underwater cavern.
After crossing almost half of Black Mist Marsh, Zhou Chun arrived near a body of water deep within the marsh.
He had been there before, but after sensing the presence of a Fourth Order Magical Beast through Thunder Jiaolong Baibai, he hadn't dared to venture further.
Unexpectedly, their lair was hidden in such a place.
Zhou Chun even suspected that the Fourth Order Magical Beast might also be a Spirit Pet of the bandit chief!
If that were true, then the strength of the leader of this "Black Dragon" organization would be quite formidable, utterly beyond an ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
Having reached within a hundred miles of the underwater cavern, Zhou Chun dared not proceed further. Instead, he concealed his aura and hid underwater, creating a temporary residence using a Water Repelling Bead.
Then, he released many of his cultivated "Blue Moon Butterflies" which he had hidden among the aquatic vegetation above the nearby waters of the underwater cavern, keeping watch over the area.
Thus, should any cultivator's aura emerge, it would surely alarm these Demon Insects, signaling him.
At that time, he could use the "Insect Puppet Technique" to observe the cultivators, searching for the target, Murong Luo.
Day after day passed, and before long, Zhou Chun had been guarding outside the "Black Dragon" organization's lair for over two months.
During these two months, he was alerted by the "Blue Moon Butterflies" several times, secretly observing the appearing cultivators.
However, he did not find Murong Luo, only spotting some Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Observing these situations, Zhou Chun was secretly shocked, not expecting this "Black Dragon" organization to have grown to such an extent.
Zhou Chun boldly guessed that the real strength of this Bandit Cultivator Organization might not be inferior to a cultivation sect like Blackwood Sect, which only had a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators.
After all, bandit cultivators generally had greater combat prowess than most cultivators of similar realms.
Organizations like "Black Dragon," which only accepted powerful and terribly criminal bandits, must be rather selective.
"If only I were strong enough to annihilate this 'Black Dragon' organization, I could collect a lot of bounties just from these bandit cultivator heads!"
Zhou Chun still felt some regret about this.
Commonly, bandit cultivators of Purple Mansion Phase and above were more or less wanted criminals sought by other forces, otherwise, they wouldn't continue as bandit cultivators at that cultivation level.
Not to mention those Golden Core Stage bandit cultivators, perhaps even Nascent Soul Stage True Persons had bounties on them.
However, for the sake of his own safety, even if Zhou Chun was capable of killing other Purple Mansion Phase bandit cultivators, he dared not act rashly.
And so, after guarding outside the "Black Dragon" organization's lair for over seven months, Zhou Chun finally witnessed the appearance of his target.
That day, Zhou Chun, who was cultivating underwater, was awakened by an alert passed by the "Blue Moon Butterflies."
When he deployed the "Insect Puppet Technique" to observe above the waters, he saw a red-faced burly man riding a black giant crocodile flying through the sky, heading directly toward the distance.
It was him, Murong Luo!
Under the waters of Black Mist Marsh, Zhou Chun opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement.
Even though the red-faced burly man had disguised himself, his Mana aura was not so easy to change.
Zhou Chun had recognized his true identity through the Mana aura.
"Finally, my wait has paid off!"
He let out a relieved sigh, then quickly collected the Water Repelling Bead, not bothering to retrieve the "Blue Moon Butterflies" monitoring the area, and directly followed the black giant crocodile.
After chasing for nearly a hundred miles, Zhou Chun released Thunder Jiaolong Baibai, letting it track Murong Luo underwater while he himself returned to collect the "Blue Moon Butterflies."
In this way, with Thunder Jiaolong Baibai following Murong Luo and Zhou Chun following Thunder Jiaolong Baibai, the two of them, along with a Jiaolong, continued their journey. They soon reached the edge of Black Mist Marsh.
