Chapter 442: Sleeping in a Tree?
One of the very important reasons why Yuan Pengfei was able to speak at the elders' meeting and successfully expelled Yuan Qinghua from his home this time was that Yuan Qinghua betrayed the family and stole the "Soldier God Jian" mark belonging to the Yuan family.
It took almost three generations of hard work for the Yuan family to peel back the cocoons in countless ancient books and secret books to find the information of the current secret realm mark, and then it took two full generations to find this mark from a small hidden subspace.
It was from that time on, the Yuan family, with an advanced attitude and insight, surpassed the six major schools and everyone else to take the lead in the study and exploration of the "Soldier God Jian".
After getting it, the Yuan family began to send people to study the imprint, and it has been nearly a hundred years, but unfortunately in the end, the information obtained from it is extremely limited, and there are only three articles.
First, this seal is the second of the seals of the "Warrior God Jian".
Second, the second sigil is useless until the first sigil is opened, and the same applies to the subsequent sigils.
Thirdly, the first sigil related to the second sigil is in Haiyang City.
Therefore, after Yuan Qinghua spent all the family connections and resources he had accumulated, he finally got the opportunity to enter the Haiyang Gang family to find the first "Soldier God Jian" mark, but his goal was not to fight for the family, but for himself.
Unbeknownst to him, he secretly stole the second seal of the family and used it to come here.
The first secret realm of the Soldier God is the Falling Gloomy Sea.
The second secret realm is here: the Poisoned Swamp.
"Report, everyone is resting. ”
Yuan Jie put on his gas mask again, and his delicate face was hidden behind two muddy goggles. Yuan Jie made a tactical gesture forward: "Let's go!"
The troops converged into a wedge-shaped battle formation, quietly approaching the still golden light ahead.
............
In the past, it was probably a village of dozens of families, but now only a small fragment remains.
It is surrounded by a small section of large bluestone walls, which have long been crumbled by years of rain, and the bluestone has been covered with a thick layer of dark green moss.
Not far ahead, it seems that it should have been a mobile home in the past, but it has collapsed at the moment.
The pine wood used to build the roof fell on the remains of the rocks, and because of the complete decay, large white mushrooms had sprung up, and there were some colorful wild fungi, which were full of columns, and from a distance it looked like there was a skin disease.
Yuan Hefa stepped forward and raised his foot and stepped on it gently, without any sound, the pine wood was as soft as a sponge, and it was directly squeezed out of the water by Yuan Hefa's weight.
Yuan Qinghua looked up at the bright golden light above his head, his eyes fell silent for a time except for the initial momentary throbbing, and it seemed that even such a scene failed to make any waves in his eyes.
Qin Yu behind him took a step forward, and his old body leaned forward slightly like a housekeeper: "Young Master, the secret realm is open, should we continue to march into the depths?"
Yuan Hecheng, who was not far away, also gathered around when he heard it.
Yuan Qinghua just nodded, and with one hand, he took out a curly golden branch and leaf from the storage bag.
This golden branch is like a sa that has just begun to draw, with a thicker branch in the middle, and the golden young leaves on both sides are neatly arranged in pairs on the left and right, but at the front is a spiral-shaped curly leaf mass, as if it is waiting to be released.
The moment the golden branches and leaves came out, some faint throbbing began to appear around them, which could not be described. Yuan Qinghua held the occupation in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes and sank into it, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked in one direction, pointing there with one hand: "Let's go." ”
No one had any objections, Qin Yu followed Yuan Qinghua closely, Yuan Hecheng of the fifth layer of the Minghe Realm was responsible for opening the way in front as the master second only to Qin Yu in the team, and Yuan Hefa and the shadow guard surrounded Yuan Qinghua in the middle, guarding the back and the left and right wings.
Yuan Qinghua also prepared drone equipment and other life detection instruments, but in such a stormy bad weather, the drone could not take off the plane at all, and the power carried by the life detection instrument was limited, and it could not be replenished with solar energy, and the detection effect of this kind of equipment for monsters was also unsatisfactory.
Going forward, the fog of the swamp was getting thicker and thicker, Yuan Hefa waved his hand, and the shadow guards quickly dispersed according to the established plan to expand the search area, to put it mildly, it was to strengthen the search with manpower, and to put it mildly, it was to let the shadow guards in the outermost circle go to "go to the thunder". Once a monster hidden in the swamp and mud approached, the shadow guard in the outermost circle could only ask for more blessings.
"Ahh
There was a scream on the right, followed by the sound of a normal crash into a pond. The nearest shadow guard immediately approached that side, only to see a mutated black spotted water snake more than a meter long wrapped around the shadow guard's calf, and its sharp fangs were dead on the inner thigh of the shadow guard.
If there is a steel guard on the outside as a defense, but there is only a thin layer of carbon fiber guard on the inner thigh, it seems that the fangs have completely bitten through the carbon fiber guard, because the screams of this shadow guard have gradually weakened, and they have begun to moan hoarsely from their throats.
It's snake venom that has taken effect, paralyzing the respiratory central nervous system of this shadow guard.
The teammate who arrived took out a pistol and shot the head of the black-spotted water snake, but the shadow guard had already fallen, and in his hoarse voice, he also appeared as if he was breathing through water, and pale yellow vomit appeared from the corner of his mouth.
The venom of the snake has caused the shadow guard's stomach muscles to contract stiffly, causing the stomach contents to vomit backwards into the mouth and then into the lungs, causing further foreign body edema in the paralyzing respiratory system.
"It's hopeless. Yuan Hefa pulled the shadow guard who tried to come forward to treat him back to his side, and then took out a pistol and shot the fallen shadow guard twice in the head.
Yuan and Fa saw that the shadow guards who surrounded them were a little low, and they deliberately raised their voices and roared, using their guns to only think about their heads.
"Everyone has seen it, and it can't be saved, so let him die happily. ”
"If I'm unfortunate enough to have the same fate as him, then I hope you don't hesitate to shoot here!"
Yuan Qinghua, who was in front of him, heard the movement behind him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose a little arc: "Yuan Hefa did a good job." ”
"Well, it can be seen that Yuan and Cheng Yuan and Brother Fa are still good, but it's a pity that if Granny Gu is still here, this shadow guard will not die at all, and we can save a lot of trouble. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Yu looked at Yuan Qinghua suspiciously: "Young Master, why did you allow Gu Mother-in-law to leave us before opening the secret realm? We have been secretly providing her with financial support in Gu refining all these years, isn't it just that she wants her to play her due value when she enters the poisonous swamp?"
Qin Yu thought about it again and again, and finally had the courage to say, "Then young master, we can't forcibly keep her?"
"Forget it. Yuan Qinghua shook his head: "The person who refines Gu has a strange temper, although you are stronger than her in battle, but forcibly staying may inevitably incur her resentment." ”
"I probably know the Gu she refined, Zi Gu Lianxin, she spent several years of hard work in order to cultivate this Zi Gu, how could she not grasp it. ”
"But I don't know how much poison there will be in this poisonous swamp, and she can definitely be a great help to us! ”
"I don't know. Yuan Qinghua also had a slight regret in his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mentality: "But don't worry too much, she has prepared everything for me, and she has also told me all the things that should be paid attention to in the swamp, as long as we don't find our own death, there is probably no problem in entering the core of the poisonous swamp." ”
............
The surroundings are as wet and muddy as ever, and if you can raise goldfish in your boots, it is estimated that it is almost time to spawn by now, but Su Fei, Xie Yufei and Hu Mang have all completely gotten used to this feeling, and it is nothing more than to pour out the water and cool their feet in a safe place and apply a special ointment when resting.
As for the wet clothes and pants, it doesn't matter, if it's wet, it's wet, and the rain in the sky doesn't stop anyway.
Now the biggest wish of the three of them is nothing else, but to be able to eat a good meal, sleep well, take a hot bath, and they can dream of this every day.
Su Fei opened the way in the muddy water with difficulty, one foot deep and one shallow, the deepest place could almost drown his knees, and the shallow water could also wipe his ankles. Fortunately, the ground below is quite solid, and the special shoes made for them by Su Fei and the three of them in the village are basically not a big problem.
The only thing to watch out for is the monsters and poisons that can rush out of the surrounding quagmire at any time. However, Su Fei has also summed up some experience during this time, these monsters basically don't like to come out during the day, unless they disturb their cave-door, they basically ignore you. Most of their caves are underneath the shrubs.
So Su Fei decided to go around the bushes in front of him.
Finally bypassing the bushes and stepping on the solid ground again, the three of them poured all the muddy water in their boots, Xie Yufei's originally pretty burgundy curls had completely turned yellow-brown at the moment, and there were still pieces of air-dried mud on the outside.
Xie Yufei took off his hat, tilted his head slightly and loosened his head rope with both hands, knocked off all the dry mud on his hair, and used the head rope to coil his long hair into a sturdy ball again: "Husband, it has been three days since we entered the "Human Forbidden Zone". ”
"Well, it's been three days. Su Fei sat in the mud, applying medicine to his feet, the skin of his feet was pale and white, just like a dead man, and there were two blisters with broken skin, and the fresh pink in them was: "There are still antidotes on each body, don't be reckless, I don't dare to say anything else here, all kinds of pills are definitely enough." ”
The most dangerous thing in the swamp is not those monsters, but the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes hidden in the swamp, but fortunately, the special Suo Zi powder given to them by Jiang Chao has a miraculous effect on driving away these poisons, and when you usually wear shoes, you can effectively dispel poisonous insects and poisonous snakes by sprinkling them in your shoes and on your body in advance, that is, you have to repeat them every once in a while.
Hu Mang stood up and raised his eyes to look, there was still a thin layer of fog around him, and he could only see a distance of a few hundred meters in front of him, and as the three of them went deeper and deeper, the fog also tended to get thicker and thicker, but the golden light that rose to the sky in the distance was still two eyes, which was also the only road sign for the three of them now.
"Don't look, you can't see, let's go that way. Su Fei, who got up with his shoes on, patted Hu Mang's shoulder, smiled and pointed in one direction: "There is a big tree over there about three or four kilometers away from us, and we will spend the night there today." ”
"yes, I can finally sleep in a tree. "Now Hu Mang has a special feeling for the tree, as long as he can sleep on the tree, it is the happiest thing in the life of the four, as for bathing and eating food or something, it is okay to dream, and it is in vain to think about it.
