Chapter 561: Stealing and Repairing Ancestral Heritage

In the boundless swamp, a giant leech moved swiftly through the muddy water.

Li Banfeng sat on the leech's back, holding an umbrella. Ma Wu and Feng Daiku, who were traveling with him, also carried umbrellas. The umbrellas not only shielded them from the splashing mud but also from the occasional splatters of flesh and blood, as the leech often fed along the way.
