In the end, Qin Zheng still agreed to Aunt Sun's request, or rather, the request of the entire Dongze Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, he couldn't watch a pair of young boys and girls lose their lives because of his shaking of his head.

The next day, they set out from Dongze Village and traveled westward, and by noon, they had already arrived at the big swamp.

It was a large swamp, covered with black and brown mud, mixed with yellow-green leaves in some places, and green moss in others, dense like a soft carpet.

Qin Zheng: None of them had ever had experience crossing the swamp, but they had books.

After researching how to cross the swamp, they first found a fallen tree trunk nearby, and then cut them into six long poles, which were necessary to cross the swamp.

The six of them spread out a distance from front to back to make sure that no two people's weight was concentrated in a small area at the same time, and then with each step with the probe stick, the foot stepped forward.

Along the way, they saw floating wreckage in many dangerous mud areas, including human bones, muddy turbans, and packages that looked empty......

After so many years here, this swamp has not known how many mountain people or travelers have swallowed it.

"Help, help!"

At this time, a faint cry for help reached their ears, and they followed the sound to poke out a man's head in the swamp about thirty or forty meters away from them.

The man had almost lost two-thirds of his body by the swamp, and the mud had reached his chest.

The mud that was pressing on his body in all directions had already made him begin to show the first signs of traumatic suffocation, his voice was weak and weak, and his face was beginning to turn a little bruised.

"Save ...... Help...... "Obviously, the man saw Qin Zheng and them, his pupils had begun to dilate a little, and he looked at Qin Zheng and their direction blankly.

Everyone looked at each other, walked in the direction of the man, and then used the probe staff to pull the man out, which was just a gesture for them.

"Thank you, thank you......" The man kept saying thank you, and the wet mud on his body was quickly dried by the wind and stained on his body, and two-thirds of the whole person was brown, looking embarrassed.

Xiao Baozi kindly handed him a water bag, and he took it with great gratitude, and then began to pour it violently, and two-thirds of the water went down to his stomach, and his face began to be rosy again.

"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have died here today. The man was very grateful, and wanted to come up and shake hands with Qin Zheng or something, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he saw the mud on his hands, and he was a little embarrassed, and rubbed it on himself, but his body was actually dirtier.

The water bag of the small bun was also covered with mud, and he held it in his hand for a while, and it was not, and it was not returned.

"This hydration bag is for you. "Xiao Baozi is also very generous, he is not short of a water bag.

The man tied the hydration bag to his belt with some embarrassment, and then thanked him again.

"Why did you get stuck here, did you come here alone?" Lin Xiyu asked curiously.

"I ......," the man's expression turned a little angry, "I am a treasure hunter, and I came with a few of my treasure hunters, but when I fell into the swamp, my companions left me behind. ”

Qin Zheng and the others were a little surprised, because this kind of thing of leaving behind their companions is very shameful in the Soul Martial Continent, especially in the treasure hunter industry, especially paying attention to partners and righteousness, if this kind of thing spreads, it is estimated that there will be no way to gain a foothold in this industry in the future.

But here's ...... Why are there treasure hunters?

Although they were a little curious, Qin Zheng and the others didn't ask much, but kindly gave the man some food, Lin Xiyu even gave her his probe staff, and then several people continued to walk in the direction of the dense forest.

According to Miss Lin's own words, she can use the power of the wind to make her steps very light, not to mention walking on the floating mud, even on the water, she can stand for a while without sinking, so the probe staff is dispensable.

But they didn't go far, and the man caught up again, and said embarrassedly, "Well, I still want to go to the front to find my partner, and ask for an understanding, so it's better to be together." ”

Qin Zheng and the others had some doubts in their hearts, but when they saw that he took the initiative to go to the front and help them open the way, they didn't say anything more.

The man introduced himself and said that his name was Han Fei, twenty-five years old, and he had been devoting himself to the treasure hunter industry for three or four years.

Treasure hunters are generally cultivators, but their level is uneven, and on the way to treasure hunting, rich experience can help them avoid most of the dangers, and then go through nine deaths to obtain treasures.

Han Fei can still fall into the swamp, from this point of view, his experience is not very rich, for most treasure hunters, he is just a fledgling stunned boy.

However, from beginning to end, Han Fei didn't mention what kind of treasure they were looking for this time, this is the basic professionalism of treasure hunters, and they are tight-lipped.

"Our team has been in this mountain for several days, and the first few days we were looking for a way in a daze, and today I just found some clues, and I fell into the mud, but fortunately you saved me. At the end of the sentence, Han Fei began to sigh with palpitations again.

In this swamp, there were no other dangers except for the ubiquitous floating mud area that needed to be careful, so under Han Fei's careful exploration, although it took a little time, everyone still passed through the swamp area safely and entered the dense forest area.

In the dense forest, a thick layer of fog was shrouded, and even though the sun was in full bloom overhead, it still did not melt this layer of gray-white mist.

"In this dense forest, the most troublesome thing is this fog, if you are not careful, it is easy to get lost. Han Fei still walked in the front and said casually.

"It's okay, we won't get lost. "Qin Zheng has a system map, how can he be disturbed by this layer of fog.

"Benefactors, where are you going? I've seen the map here before, and I might be able to show you the way. Han Fei suddenly asked.

Qin Zheng didn't think much about it, and said, "Do you know if there is a cave near here, and there may be a very powerful demonic beast living in the cave." ”

Han Fei was stunned, and then said in surprise, "A few benefactors, it's really a coincidence, the place I'm going to is also a cave." ”

Then he simply found a stone and drew it on the ground, "You see, the terrain I saw on the map before is like this, the two sides of the dense forest are surrounded by mountains, the front is close to the swamp and the back is to the lake, only this road is accessible, there is a natural cave on the surface of the lake, I don't know if there are any magical beasts in the cave, but there must be treasures in the cave." ”

Qin Zheng took out the hand-drawn map that Aunt Sun gave them from his arms and looked at it, although the drawing was a little rough, but if he looked closely, a few ripples were sparsely drawn on the edge of the cave, as if it was indeed on the edge of a lake......
