The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1117

Chapter 1117: Chapter 940, Xiao Yechi Dies

Xiao Yeyang had not long been chasing Xiao Yechi into the Death Swamp when a cry of alarm came from behind him. Turning around, he saw two cavalrymen, along with their horses, sinking into the swamp.

At this moment, both the horses and the men were sinking into the swamp at a visible speed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression changed and he immediately ordered the troop to stop. He told the two men sinking into the swamp not to move around, then took out some ropes, exerted a lot of effort, and pulled the men out.

Due to their struggles, the two horses had completely sunk into the swamp and were no longer visible.

"There’s something wrong with this place!"

Xiao Yeyang took out his binoculars to observe the surroundings and noticed that the area they were in was dotted with puddles, it was unclear if any of these puddles were actually part of the swamp.

Suddenly, a cavalryman seemed to realize something, his face turning pale, and he shakily said to Xiao Yeyang, "Sir, I think I know where we are."

Xiao Yeyang quickly asked, "Where?"

The fear on the cavalryman’s face was evident: "This might be the infamous Death Swamp of Xiliao."

At this revelation, many of the cavalrymen present changed their expressions.

The Death Swamp of Xiliao was notorious among the people on the frontier, known for being a place where one could enter but never return.

Sensing the panic among the men, Xiao Yeyang frowned and spoke loudly, "It’s just a swamp, can it really trap people?"

He hesitated for a moment but ultimately put the lives of his cavalrymen first.

"Alright, we will not pursue Xiao Yechi any further; let’s turn back now. We haven’t ventured deep into the swamp; we should be able to get back quickly."

Hearing this, the cavalrymen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, half an hour later, Xiao Yeyang’s brow was deeply furrowed. The others might not have noticed, but he realized that they seemed to be lost in the swamp.

What was going on?

He remembered that they had been retracing their steps exactly.

Initially, only Xiao Yeyang noticed that something was amiss, but as time passed, the cavalrymen also realized they were trapped in the Death Swamp.

Out of trust and respect for Xiao Yeyang, the cavalrymen suppressed their fear and carefully searched for a way out.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

In the Death Swamp, they had to overcome not only their psychological fears but also endure hunger and cold.

Thankfully, Xiao Yeyang was generous with his silver; the cavalrymen had the best rations in the entire camp, eating meat daily and able to drink milk, keeping their bodies strong.

Thus, the cavalrymen were able to hold on.

Another horse was killed for food; the leader of the cavalry handed Xiao Yeyang the cooked horse meat.

Xiao Yeyang took it and ate without complaining about the lack of salt or flavor.

The cavalry leader anxiously said, "Sir, we can’t hold out much longer this way!"

There were a hundred cavalrymen who had come with Xiao Yeyang, and even though they still had horses to eat, the severe temperature differences between day and night in the Death Swamp would wear down even the healthiest body over time.

Xiao Yeyang continued eating the horse meat, and after finishing, he spoke firmly, "We must find a way out; we will prevail!" Yiyi and his son were still waiting at home for his return!

Saying this, Xiao Yeyang looked at the sky: "While the sun is still up, everyone eat quickly, and then let’s continue searching for a way out."

Three days later, Xiao Yeyang and his group had not found a way out of the swamp, but they had run into Xiao Yechi and his people.

At this moment, Xiao Yechi was extremely disheveled, and only a few people were left by his side, without even a horse.

Many of Xiao Yechi’s men had either sunk in the swamp and died; or were bitten by mosquitoes in the swamp, leading to infected, feverous wounds and death; or could not endure the cold of the night and froze to death...

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, Xiao Yechi suddenly burst into laughter: "Xiao Yeyang, you’ve met your day too!"

Xiao Yeyang looked coldly at Xiao Yechi, his expression one of disdain: "You really are as foolish as your father, conspiring with foreign tribes to deal with Daxia, but in the end, you doomed yourself."
