The southeastern part of the Basharan Empire should be hilly, or rather a plain with a relatively humid climate.

Because Sean felt that the air had been wet and wet since he entered the mountains, which made people feel very uncomfortable......

The team departed on the third day after hearing the news at the hotel, and during this time, they each prepared their own items, except for the alchemist Alphonse's potion, everyone else also needed to prepare their own items.

For example, Ruster needs to prepare special arrows, while Jonathan needs to prepare more dry food...... As for Sean's words, he originally wanted to buy some areas in the area, but he couldn't find them, and what he barely found was some large-scale map, which would only show the route.

But the people in the mercenary squad are their own, so it doesn't have much effect. So Sean chose to buy some gunpowder props, hoping that he wouldn't need them.

"The air here is uncomfortable. ”

"Well, was that like that around here before?" asked Sean.

The group has walked into the mountains and forests, although the southeast area is not mountainous, but there is still a lot of vegetation, this area is not as much fog as the hotel rumors, but the air can only be strangely wet and wet, which makes people's breathing uncomfortable neck, and will cough dryly.

"I didn't come to this place much before, but it's said that there are swamp......s in the area," Jonathan said.

"That's right. In the early days, there were many rivers in the southeast, but many of them were forcibly cut off when the Tacoma area cities were established, but the climate in this area is humid, and the sediment rivers do not dry up for a long time, and even lakes form during the heavy rainy season, and gradually bring out the swamps. "The one who spoke was Alphonse.

I didn't expect this alchemist to know so much about geography!

"Been here before?"

"I've heard of it. ”

Sean obviously saw that the other party had a state of [hesitation!], but there was no lying, so he should not have been here, but this hesitation may have learned something from somewhere else.

The team continued to walk forward, and although the air was uncomfortable against their throats, it was fine to wrap a towel around it.

"We didn't take the wrong route, did we?" I hadn't seen any other mercenary squads since we entered, except for the people in the squad.

Sometimes Sean would find the mercenary team very strange, and they would all gather together at the evening party, but when he traveled, he deliberately avoided the routes of the other teams, and remembered that there were several other mercenary teams that followed him when he set out from the inn.

But slowly, the line was stretched longer and longer, and now there is no one behind it at all.

"The others may have gone somewhere else, and the mountains and forests are full of roads. The mercenary team doesn't like to walk with other teams, so they probably deliberately avoided us. Jonathan said it naturally, it seems that this phenomenon is common among mercenaries.

I kept walking deeper, and gradually I felt that the sunlight could not penetrate the forest......

And a hint gradually appeared in Sean's field of vision:

[Daytime: Sunny, 6:35:30]

However, the fog that gradually drifted through the air showed a miasma.

"Wait. Sean raised his hand for the group to stop.

"What's wrong? Master Sean. ”

"These mist may have an impression on the body, we are all masked, Lord Alphonse, do you have any potions to deal with it?" Sean said abruptly as he turned to the alchemist.

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"Everyone, bring a bottle, and if you feel uncomfortable, drink it in advance, don't be sorry for the potion. Sean emphasized.

"What's wrong with all this fog? ”

"A miasma, maybe not good for the body. ”

There is no such thing as miasma in this world, and it is not directly said to be "poisonous gas" in the display, but only the gas produced by some corrupt animals and plants, which is harmful and harmful, but it is not as direct as poisonous gas.

Of course, everyone would not doubt Sean's judgment as a 'silver-level bounty hunter' at this moment, and each took a bottle of potion and continued to move forward.

Boom~

The sound of something falling into the water.

The vegetation in the forest grew very high, and the view was not very good, so even though the people heard the sound, they still did not see any water.

"We must be walking on the main road, why do we encounter a place with water? Someone in the team suddenly asked.

"Maybe it's because of the heavy rain some time ago, isn't it often said that this area has the most rain?" Jonathan retorted.

After all, he was the leader and didn't want to admit that he had taken the wrong path, and Sean had also seen the map in the other party's hand, and the route taken by everyone was not wrong...... It's just that the road is too barren.

Not all roads in this world are made of fine stones, and almost only a few large cities that are close to each other have stone roads, and many of them are simply excavated mountain roads.

Just like his own small town of Telemian, Telemian had a mountain road in the woods provided by timber for a long time, and then slowly settled down more people to become a small town, but if it is far away, even the excavation process is left, and a place that people have stepped on becomes a road.

For example, where you have to pass through the forest, the place where travelers or caravans walk the most, that is the road!

No one will do the maintenance, and no empire can afford to do such large-scale road maintenance...... So at some point, Sean even felt that the road was impassable, which may also be one of the reasons why many people are reluctant to leave their hometown.

At most, people in a region are active in the cities in that area, and rarely travel far beyond the region.

"But it shouldn't be, even if it's a road that no one has walked for half a month, it won't suddenly grow so many plants, it's too abnormal. Rust said behind her.

"If it were normal, there would be no need to send so many people...... It seems that we need to take the water route on the road ahead. Sean also stopped as he spoke, and his feet just stepped on the water.

At this time, the road that appeared in front of everyone was flooded with shallow water...... It doesn't look very deep, as you can see weeds and branches in the water.

Sean thought about preparing all kinds of things, but he didn't expect to prepare a pair of water boots for himself, and it is estimated that he will wade through the water later......

"Find some longer branches around to make walking sticks, and we all follow each other's footprints, and don't step on unknown places. Jonathan still has some understanding of survival in the wild, so he asked several people to take their own long-handled sticks, and if they stepped on them, they could at least stretch out the sticks and hand them to the people around them for help.

........................

The six of them walked cautiously in the muddy pool, and the cold smell in the air was still very strong, only to see that there was still a smell of decay.

The feet are cold after the water surface overflows, and when you step on the vegetation, you will suddenly sink a little, but not quickly...... If you can lift your feet faster, you can walk through it, but this road environment makes everyone a little unhappy.

It feels like this trip to the Tacoma area is terrible, but I've come here and I definitely don't want to go back.

I can only continue walking, hoping to get out of the wetland faster.

The fog in sight is getting heavier......

"Do you hear any sounds?" said Lawrence, who was walking at the back, suddenly.
