Chapter 8: The Strange Swamp
The swamp haunted by the miasma was unusually calm, except for the occasional bubble bubbles in the swamp, and the dead wood and bones around it emitted a signal of danger. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Isn't it too quiet here?" Yan Nai whispered in surprise among the trees ten meters away from the swamp.
"It's a bit counterintuitive, this swamp is so big, and the demon aura here is also the heaviest, the monster has captured so many villagers, but there is nothing here. White frowned and stared at the swamp.
"Could it be that it hid the villagers somewhere else?" Kagura guessed thoughtfully, but her guess was quickly denied by Kaoru Kuran, "No, since it wants to lure us out, it must hide the villagers where it is." ”
"Then what should we do now? still do what we planned?" Yan Nai said, and looked at Bai beside him.
"It and the villagers can't be wrong right here, the plan doesn't change. Bai said firmly, and then, under his command, the five of them set up a huge pentagram array on the edge of the swamp and surrounded the swamp.
"I'll go check with Slippery Scoop first, and you stay here and don't wander around. Bai said to the four of them with a serious face, and at this moment, a series of "grunt" sounds came from the swamp.
"Bai, wait, look!" Yan Nai dragged Bai back, and everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the swamp, only to see strings of bubbles gushing up there, just like boiling water, bubbles kept coming out.
"What's down there?" said Hongxiu, frowning at the swamp.
As soon as her words fell, a figure haunted by miasma slowly rose from the place where the bubbles came out, and he desperately tried to break free from the miasma, his expression painful and frightened.
"How many are these?" a shrill voice came from below the swamp.
"Three, four, five, six? I can't remember. Another muffled voice replied.
"There are two youkai?!" After hearing the two voices, whether it was Shiro, Yan Nai and Kagura, or Kuran Kaoru, their faces were full of surprise, according to the bone girl, there should be only one youkai here, right?
"Why do I think there are so many people missing?" the shrill voice asked with some confusion, "Did you just eat a few?"
"It seems that after eating, how long will it take for those onmyoji to come?" the lower voice became a little impatient.
"We must go and save him!" Kagura said impatiently as the man bound by the miasma grew in pain.
"No, we don't even know where the enemy is, and it's too dangerous to act rashly now!"
"But ......" Kagura looked at the anguished villager with anxiety written on her face.
"Is there nothing here because they are hiding under the swamp? That villager also appeared from the swamp just now, so ......" Bai said slowly with a thoughtful look.
"How can there be people hiding under the swamp? That's a swamp!" Hongxiu looked at Bai with a puzzled expression.
"Perhaps, it's impossible to say that there is another space under the swamp?" For an anime game otaku like Yan Nai, he has seen no matter how big his brain is, so it is not impossible that there can be a place for Tibetans under the swamp.
"You mean the Space Enchantment? If both of these youkai can lay a Space Enchantment, then our odds are really close to zero. Jiulan Xun frowned and said.
"No, I don't think it's going to be a spatial barrier. Bai shook his head and said with a determined expression, "If they will set up a spatial barrier in the swamp, then why not set an enchantment around the swamp? ”
"Okay, don't guess, since those two monsters and those villagers are in the swamp, won't we just go in and wake up?" Hongxiu urged impatiently.
“…… Domineering!" Yan Nai looked at this girl who was trembling before with admiration, and now she suddenly became so resolute.
"Hongxiu is right, we won't make any progress in discussing it here, since we have already come, there is nothing to hesitate, improvisation, everyone be careful, go!" Bai took the lead and came to the edge of the swamp as fast as he could.
At this time, the two voices that came from below the swamp seemed to be arguing over something, and they didn't notice them at all, and the villagers who had been bound by them with miasma were also thrown to the edge of the swamp and fainted.
"Are the two of them fighting?" Yan Nai shook his head a little speechlessly.
"Take advantage of now!" Haku-ichi held his breath and jumped into the swamp, Kagura glanced at the villager with some unease, and then jumped in as well.
Yan Nai looked at Hongxiu, who was frowning beside him, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "Or, do you stay on the shore?"
"No, no, I'm going to be with Kaoru. After biting her lip, Hongxiu seemed to have made up her mind and resolutely rejected Yan Nai's kindness.
After glancing at Hongxiu, Jiulan Kaoru didn't say anything and plunged headlong into the swamp, while Hongxiu also jumped down after taking several deep breaths, and Yan Nai was the last person to jump into the swamp.
The moment Yan Nai jumped into the swamp, he felt that the whole person fell down violently, this feeling was not at all what should be in the swamp, it was more like falling from a high altitude.
"Bang-"
With a muffled sound, Yan Nai fell heavily to the ground, and when he rubbed his body with a somewhat painful expression, he realized that this was actually a valley!
"Is this really a swamp?!" Everyone couldn't believe the scene in front of them, they looked up, and they could still clearly see the water surface of the swamp above their heads, in other words, this is the bottom of the swamp at all!
"Look over there!" Hongxiu pointed to a lake in the valley in surprise, which was haunted by miasma, and although it was not clear to see, the sound of the two youkai arguing came from there.
"Let's find out where the villagers are hiding!" Shiro said to the other four as soon as he determined the location of the youkai.
Immediately, the five of them began to search the valley for the whereabouts of the villagers, and soon they found a huge wooden cage containing at least twenty villagers, all of whom were huddled in the cage and shivering, without making the slightest sound.
"Hongxiu, you and Kagura are in charge of taking these villagers out, and we'll deal with those two youkai!" Shiro ordered with a serious look at Hongxiu, while Hongxiu looked at Kuran Kaoru with some reluctance.
"Do you doubt that we can't deal with it?" Jiulan Kaoru asked coldly, Hongxiu hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, I didn't mean that......!
"Then hurry up and take the villagers out with her!" said Jiulan Kaoru in an unquestioning tone, and Hongxiu immediately obediently summoned his own Shikigami.
"Turn into the road!" As Hongxiu's words fell, an oxcart with a grimace on its wheels fell in front of her.
