Chapter 656: Huge Swamp
It's only a third of the way we've been there, and we're two-thirds of the way from the white desert marked above, and that's only the distance between the periphery and the white desert.
As far as the treasure map in our hands is concerned, the area of the White Desert in this area of the cold wind hills is only a small piece, less than one percent of the size of the entire treasure map, but this has consumed us for so long.
As you go deeper into it, the speed of progress will definitely become slower and slower, and this treasure map is not a complete map of the Cold Wind Region, but only a part.
The ghost who has always drawn this map should also be a master, otherwise it would be impossible to draw it in such detail, and now it seems that it can barely be right, if it is not here, it should not be possible to draw such a treasure map.
After traversing the eerie wooded area, we once again began to climb over the rolling hills in the direction of the white desert.
The speed of progress should not be too fast, of course, it should not be too slow, it can only be maintained to a certain extent, and we can try to go as fast as possible under the premise of ensuring our safety.
After the woods, the hilly area can be described as a barren, even the plants have begun to become a lot less, the cold wind around them has begun to howl faintly, and the cold feeling is even better, but fortunately we are not a big problem, but I feel a little cold.
"Swamp?"
Lao Wang, who was running in front, slowed down and came to the side of the doctor ghost, looking at the scene in front of him.
I stepped forward and looked at it, and immediately pinched my sweat, this turned out to be a swamp!
There aren't many rivers in the underworld, and I've never seen a swamp, but this is the first time.
The swamp here looks much more terrifying than the swamp in the sun, the water inside is pitch black, and the dirt inside is grayish-white, bubbles emerge from below, exploding on the surface of the water, and can bring a scattered gray-white liquid to splash on the surrounding water.
"It's hard to do. Li Dadi looked at the left and right sides, frowned, and said, "This swamp looks very big, you have to go around, right?"
The doctor squatted on the edge to check the situation, and shook his head slightly: "No, there is a problem with this water, don't go in." ”
The shadow floated straight ahead, circled around a wide area, and then swayed over the swamp for a few moments before floating back.
"How?" I asked.
Shadow muttered: "It's a big piece, either I will fly over with you one by one, or you can only go around, there is a very cold substance in this water, I don't know what it is, but it has a certain suppressive effect on the soul body, if the ghost steps on it, the strength may also be trapped, and the soul will be directly affected if it is human." ”
I nodded, there was really no way to go directly in this way, so I said to Lao Wang, "Go around?"
"I'll see. Lao Wang took out the map again, but there was no mark on this area, so there was no way to know how big this place was, so he said: "Shadow, help see how big this area is, you can take us directly there, if it is too big, we will go around." ”
The shadow answered, and floated directly into the air to start checking.
As a result, she had just reached a height of 100 meters, and then she suddenly fell down for a distance, and then paused for a while at an altitude of tens of meters, and then began to accelerate her movement to check the swampy area.
Ten minutes later, the shadow floated back.
"What just happened?" I said, gesturing to the sky.
Shadow complained, "It's windy and cold up there, and it almost froze me." ”
I looked up at the sky in amazement, I really couldn't see anything like this, the wind was still in my ears, but everything was normal below.
"If you go forward, it's big, you can go to the right, and you can go to the edge tens of thousands of meters away on the right, and you can continue all the way forward when you get there. The shadow pointed to the right.
Lao Wang: "Let's go!"
Since there was no way to take a shortcut, the only way to go around was to go around and run all the way to the right along the edge of the swamp.
There were a lot of strange plants growing on the edge of the swamp, and I subconsciously stayed away from them, and I didn't know if I would be attacked by this strange plant when I got there.
The road was relatively smooth, and I came to the edge of the right side of the swamp without stopping, and continued all the way in the direction of the white desert.
But before he had gone far, there seemed to be some shaky shadows on a hill ahead, and the shadows ran over to check the situation as soon as possible.
On the hills ahead, there were lizard-like ghost beasts, and there were quite a few of them, and we only saw a few from this position, but there was a piece of them when we got there.
No way, we're going to keep going around!
Ghost beasts are not easy to deal with, once the fight starts, this kind of beast without much wisdom will rush up, which is also a more troublesome thing, and I am not sure if there are more advanced ghost beasts in it, once it exists, it will be even more troublesome.
I still remember when I went to help Lao Wang deal with the big white fox and a few other ghost beasts, it was quite difficult at the time, but if the difference in strength was obvious, it would be effortless for Shadow to kill these things, but in this kind of ghost place, we still choose a more secure way.
The shadow led the way in the air, took us around a long circle, and finally returned to the predetermined route unharmed, but the good times did not last long, and the front was covered by a swamp, and in the swamp faintly visible a large lizard-like ghost beast, as soon as we came, they seemed to have reacted, and many of them looked towards us, and the small green eyes were flashing, like a hunter staring at the prey.
"Damn, retreat first, the shadow will lead the way!"
"It's not a big swamp, I can see the hills on the other side!" exclaimed Shadow.
The swamp is not big, but now those ghost beasts have begun to come towards us one by one, and if you want to go over, you still have to avoid this group of crazy souls.
Without too much hesitation, we turned around and ran in the other direction.
After running for more than ten minutes in one breath, he finally got rid of the pursuit of the group of ghost beasts, and the shadow also solved a few halfway, saying that these ghost beasts are also a little different from the outside, their soul bodies are quite thin, but there is another irritable energy inside, so that she can't directly absorb them completely, she can only kill them directly.
On the edge of the boulders that only appeared on several hills, we stopped, looked back, and saw no shadow of the ghost beast, and then we breathed a sigh of relief.
"Well, the direction might be a little messy right now. Lao Wang took out the treasure map and looked at it for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
