Chapter 134: The Fog Shrouds
The crowd suddenly fell silent.
Listen carefully...... There seemed to be a hint of sound, as if someone was spitting bubbles in the water.
"It's like ...... in water" is the last thing people want to see.
The fog is shrouded, and it is very uncomfortable to walk in this kind of muddy place, and the soles of your feet are always wet, and sometimes you feel slightly itchy, but you are not good at this time, take off your boots to see, and you can only endure walking over.
"Over there!" Jonathan pointed to where the voice appeared, and everyone had their weapons ready.
Of course, Sean also has a musket in his hand, and it is best to prepare, but there is no danger in his field of vision, even if he is watched or stared at, if there is danger, the other party should also be staring at this side.
"Maybe it's not dangerous, I'll take a look. Sean volunteered to be at the front.
"Wait ......"
The words were not spoken.
Sean was already at the front of the line.
The fog was very thick, and everyone was afraid that they would get lost, and they were all close to each other, but Sean was the only one who suddenly ran to the front. In the fog, I saw his figure stop.
Jonathan thought about it, no, and hurriedly ran forward. "Master Sean, what's wrong?"
At this time, Sean happened to be at the forefront......
"I've always wondered why there is not a single animal in such a wetland, and even when it is not flooded, there is something in the woodland that is ...... here."
Everyone looked at each other.
Ahead, a strong stench permeated the air, and in the middle of the muddy water, a large number of dead animals were almost piled up here. It looks like he's been dead for a long time, and the flesh of the blistered body is spreading out and constantly emitting a pungent smell, even the bones are black, and maggots can be seen on it.
The sound was the same as the sound of an animal being soaked in water spitting bubbles after rotting...... It still stinks......
These are some of the most common animal bones in the woodland, but I don't know why they were all lost in this place!
"That's going to be so many!" Rust frowned.
At this moment, I am afraid that anyone will not feel good when they see this kind of scene, and Sean resisted the urge to vomit and beckoned to everyone, signaling a few people to leave this place quickly.
Jonathan still glanced at the waterhole behind him at the pile of dead animals, which looked like a tombstone or a warning sign......
Isn't that often the case?
When entering a dangerous place, there will be a warning sign with animal bones piled up to tell the people who come behind that it is dangerous, and the pile in front of you, although it has not yet become a complete skeleton, is almost there.
"Why are these things here?"
Several people looked at each other as if they didn't dare to speak, but there was some [panic!] in their hearts......
This does not bode well for the rest of the journey, and has a great psychological impact on the team members.
The mercenary team came to form a team because of the money, and it wasn't for nothing...... If it's too dangerous, you'll have to weigh whether it's necessary to continue.
"Two Situations ......"
Sean suddenly interjected, causing everyone's eyes to look at him.
"What's the situation? Master Sean. ”
"Before the mercenaries set out, thousands of Blackfeather Knights and wizard troops passed through here, although it wasn't necessarily this road, but of course the food for so many people had to be found on the spot, and those animal bones were the place where the troops disposed of after hunting. ”
Such a statement is acceptable.
"What about the other one?" asked Jonathan.
"The other is that there are more ferocious beasts in this wetland, and that is where it discarded its food. But so far I have not noticed any other beasts. ”
"Or maybe it's a monster that is good at hiding!" Feng in the team said.
"Warcraft can't either. ”
"How can you be so sure?"
"Then how can you be so sure. Sean asked rhetorically.
Feng, another melee member of the team, seems to have been in some mood since the day the team was formed, and everyone's favorability towards him started with [Friendly], but he was the only one who had a [Neutral] favor, but even so, he maintained a cooperative relationship on weekdays.
Sometimes a low likability doesn't mean it's hostile, at least until the relationship breaks down......
There is no need for so many friendly people, and the relationship between most people is at most to be able to speak, and then it is enough to ridicule each other if they don't have much self-cultivation, and after looking back, they still don't care about it.
"Feng, Master Sean is a professional after all, and we all believe in him. Ruster, the only woman on the team, said.
Indeed, after saying that there was no danger around, everyone's [nervous!] mood was lowered a lot, although there will still be [vigilance!], but it is much better than panic.
Sean kept an eye on what was happening around him, and it was safe until the team was out of the waterlogged woodland.
It's just that the boots are very wet......
Itchy, but I'm too embarrassed to take it off and scratch it directly, so I can only continue to walk on it.
The fog is even worse at this time!
Sean estimated that the stagnant water in the woodland should have been caused by the rain some time ago, as for those animal corpses, he couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation, if there were really no beasts in the woodland, it could only be explained by the Black Feather Knight.
The team members were not in a good state of mind after coming out of the woodland, and looked at the sky.
[Daytime: Cloudy, 3:21:40]
I had been walking inside for more than two hours, and it was dark soon after, and I could clearly feel that it was getting darker now.
"We're going to find a place to set up camp, and that's all we have to do today ......," Sean said.
Especially strange looking at the sky.
The fog is so foggy that you can't see above the fog at all. If your vision is cloudy rather than foggy or haze, does it mean that the fog has nothing to do with the weather itself?
And it was at this time that Alphonse noticed the direction in the distance.
"Look over there, is there anyone passing by?"
Everyone looked at the direction in the mist, and it seemed that several pairs of people had also come out of a certain woodland.
"It's probably some other mercenary squad, so be it. It's late today for us to catch up with them, and it's best not to camp alone in the wilderness. Jonathan said at this time.
The more dangerous the place, the more mercenaries like to huddle, but only at night, and during the day, they all move on their own side...... Only this point has never made Sean understand, even if the group is in a group during the day, if there is a threat, can't they fight together?
It's not so miserable, there is no sense of cooperation at all.
Seeing that everyone in the squad agreed, Jonathan of course had to take the lead in talking to the captain opposite.
