As the team slowly entered the poison swamp, everyone's mood became more and more nervous.

There are soft and slippery aquatic plants and duckweeds underneath, and it is a little difficult to stand on the slippery feet, but it is still much easier than everyone originally expected.

A long rope more than thirty meters long, woven from tough rattan, strung everyone together, and the front end was tied around the waist of the old medicine farmer. And a silver knight, holding a long rope in one hand and a long sword in the other, followed closely behind the old medicine farmer, ready to help when appropriate.

After all, there are still a large number of scavengers and poisonous creatures living here, and there are many monsters and ghosts that cannot be named, which are extremely difficult.

More than twenty teams of paladins entered the swamp one after another, each team less than ten meters away from the front and back, so that they could echo back and forth. In this way, the likelihood of being attacked by witches is reduced.

And the seven golden knights near Black Mountain City have gathered here at the same time, escorting Rena and the little witch who had just been captured to walk in the center of the team. With the number and strength of the team far outnumbering their opponents, they were not worried that the witches would attack in a big way, but they were worried that the other party would flee and refuse to fight.

Truth be told, it's no easy thing to walk through the mountains and jungles in full steel armor to hunt down those unusually nimble and cunning witches.

With a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, Catherine followed the team through the swamp.

Looking around, I could barely see the five-meter range illuminated by the torch, and five meters away, there was a foggy and white patch. The fog drifted around him, making everything around him seem to be covered with a thick veil, making it difficult to look closely.

The mist was rich in water vapor, tangled with the flames from the torch, and erupted into a strange crackling sound. And the road under his feet does not have the appearance of a 'road' at all, just slippery footprints stepped on by his teammates in front of him.

And the latecomers don't need to recognize the road, they just need to follow in the footsteps of the former.

What are the consequences of making a mistake in such a place, a young black iron knight told everyone about the dangers of this place with his own experience.

Perhaps it was because he was just looking around, or maybe it was because his spirit slipped away, and the black iron knight stepped out of the 'grass road', and immediately his body was crooked, and he fell into the puddle of mud.

And it was like lighting a striking torch, and in an instant the whole swamp began to boil!

Visible to the naked eye, the mud in the foul-smelling pool water was stirring and rippling, as if some strange creature was digging and restless. And as the Black Iron Knight struggled in the mud, the restlessness in the stinky mire became more and more obvious, and clear lines of water quickly approached the person who fell into the water from far and near.

"Let's pull him up......," the silver knight who led the team shouted, and the two closest to the overboard knight grabbed the rope wrapped around their waists, and pulled him up from the stinking mud that was sinking deeper and deeper like a turnip.

The 'prey' suddenly disappeared, and the strange monsters hiding in the mud were furious and came out of it one after another.

For a moment, a large group of old ghost women and sludge monsters appeared in the stinky quagmire around the team.

The old ghost woman is a humanoid monstrous that resembles a drowned corpse, with unkempt and dirty hair, dark claws, and mutilated but sharp fangs. Their minions are infused with terrible toxins, and they are even more dangerous in the swamp than ghouls.

As for the Sludge Monster, it is a low-level monster made purely of a combination of fishy sludge and strange substances, and has several special combat abilities such as 'Sludge Missile', 'Acid Splash', and 'Split Proliferation'. The attack may not be strong, but it is enough to disgust the dead.

In the face of the onslaught of swamp creatures, the Paladins are undaunted.

As the 'Holy Light Bullets' rain out, every named swamp creature will be purified of their souls in this almost divine pure light, and then the old ghost woman will turn into a carrion corpse, and the sludge monster will turn into a puddle of mud and die.

As if sensing the difficulty of these intruders, the old ghost woman and the sludge monsters chirped and screamed as they carried the sinks and floats in the swamp mire, using the mud to avoid each other's holy light bullets. In the long queue that lasted for 3 miles, many old ghost women had already rushed onto the grass road and started a melee fight with the paladins.

If the guy who broke into the poison swamp today was replaced by an Imperial soldier, I am afraid that there would have been a large number of casualties and poisoned people at this moment. However, the paladins blessed by the Holy Light have unparalleled lethality in the face of these low-level monsters and monsters.

No matter how sharp the old ghost woman's claws and fangs were, they couldn't penetrate the holy light barrier and the thick holy light armor outside the paladins' bodies. And their hard skin, which they thought was as tough as old cowhide, was as thin as a piece of paper in front of the paladins' long swords soaked in rich holy light.

Almost like chopping melons and vegetables, the paladins slashed and killed the old ghost women who rushed to the grass one by one, and their souls were completely purified. However, facing the sludge monsters with several ranged skills, the paladins were a little embarrassed.

One by one, the sludge missiles burst through the air and slammed into the barrier of holy light outside the paladin's body, exploding into a foul-smelling mass of silt. The smell, the content, simply broke the spirit of the paladins who were clean and self-conscious, and their noses were tormented.

It was a waste to use means such as Holy Light Slash and Holy Seal Sanctions to deal with a group of low-level monsters, so cheap Holy Light Bullets rained down on the Silt Monsters. How could the little sludge monsters withstand the purification of the holy light, and the silt monsters exploded silently.

However, before the smiles on the paladins' faces rose, the rotting mud-like bodies in the distance condensed again, splitting into three smaller sludge monsters.

The next moment, even denser silt missiles and acid splatters flew over.

To the paladin's dismay, a normal Sludge can split twice, and each individual can split into three smaller Sludges. In other words, it takes nine kills to completely kill a normal sludge monster.

Before that, these sludge monsters were enough to completely cover the area where the paladins were located with the foul stench sludge and the strange strong acid brewing in their bodies.

For a moment, the entire paladin team was enveloped in a terrible stench that pierced the brain!

All the paladins were fighting and vomiting desperately, and the comical scene was simply impossible to look at.

However, the strength of the paladin team is far superior to the monsters and monsters in front of them. As a result, although the scene is somewhat out of control, the paladins have not seen any combat attrition so far.

Whether it was the old ghost woman's toxin attack or the sludge monster's acid splash, the little damage didn't have time to accumulate into visible damage on the paladin's body before it was purified by a stream of brilliant divine light.

The only pity is that the Holy Light can purify toxins and acid, but it can't purify the stench!

Therefore, the paladins who fell one by one on the battlefield were not physically damaged, but simply poured down by the stench.

Catherine mingled in the long procession, silently chanting words of praise for the great light of the Divine Light, and in her hands she sparkled bullets of light swaying and smashing into the mist.

Her face was so pale that she could barely breathe.

On the water, on the grass, and on his body, he was covered with sticky, slippery, disgusting acid. Wherever it falls, this 'bodily fluid' that has been pregnant with the Sludge Monster for years emits a glowing green smoke that smells like the terrible smell of filthy 'waste' in the sewers after it has been fully fermented.

Catherine only sniffed it once, and then vomited out all the stock in her stomach, and in the end, even the acid in her stomach was vomited out.

Even if the paladins vomit softly, they are still fighting bravely...... No, slaughter!

Groups of old ghosts and sludge monsters burst out of the mist on both sides of the grass path, and then fell to the holy greatsword of the paladins with a terrible howl.

Although the battle can be called 'tragic', the paladins have strangely no casualties!

The team of paladins that stretched for 3 miles all stopped, trying to purify this group of monsters. However, just as they were fighting, a huge monitor lizard suddenly emerged from the swamp quagmire.

As the earthy yellow petrified rays burst out from the strange pupils of the swamp monitor lizard, several black iron knights who were caught off guard landed on the road, and were instantly paralyzed on the spot.

Visible to the naked eye, a layer of blue-gray quickly spreads across their skin. Soon, not to mention the little finger, the paladin who was hit suddenly froze even his eyes, and became a stone statue that was hard to beat.

The swamp monitor lizard pounced on the petrified paladin, turning and dragging them into the mire.

So the next moment, the entire swamp mud waves rolled, black water splashed everywhere, and the swamp creatures that swarmed frantically bit the paladin, dragging it deeper to the bottom of the quagmire.

As for the long rope bound by the paladin, it was bitten and broken, and it could no longer be used to help him.

"Bastard ......"

Some of the paladins who witnessed this scene were furious, and they rushed into the mire with their swords and fought the swamp creatures.

But it's a pity that with their strength on land, it will never be a problem for a black iron knight to deal with seven or eight old ghost women. But in this special environment, two or three old ghost women can play them out of breath.

With the help of the swamp monitor lizard, a parasitic monster, the swamp creatures actually broke through the defense of the paladins in some parts, and dragged the paladins into a powerful and difficult quagmire.

Almost instantly, the paladins suffered double-digit casualties!
