Chapter 207 [Mu Feng's Determination]

"It's easy, when the time comes, let's just go to one person and lure that beast away, and the rest of the people just wait for the opportunity to pass through, it shouldn't be difficult to avoid the pursuit of a demonic beast in this swamp with our strength." Incompetence said seriously.

"Okay, let's do what you say, senior brother." Zhuo Zichen nodded, and after burning the two corpses to ashes, he took out the map from his sleeve and half-squatted on the ground to study it carefully.

The four of them gathered together to look at this delicate map, Zhuo Zichen and Wuyi continued to discuss in a low voice, and after a while, Wuyi picked up a dead branch from the ground instead of a pen and outlined everyone's next course of action on the map.

Although the map in Zhuo Zichen's hand is fine, it is still blank in such a narrow area, and no one knows what the terrain and landform of the Death Swamp are, not to mention that the dark swamp inside is full of dense fog that is shrouded all year round, so there is no decent map in the Death Swamp at all.

Zhuo Zichen simply drew a small area on his original map, and among the four people, only Incompetent had secretly explored this area, so it was up to him to decide the most convenient and safe road map.

"Now let's go and play with my junior sister first, and when we get to the valley, we can find the entrance by walking along the valley." After determining the route of action, Zhuo Zichen got up and looked at the foggy woods in front of him and said with a solemn expression.

Returning to the wet and misty swamp, the incompetence would give Mu Feng a simple treatment from time to time to dispel the poisonous mist and miasma he inhaled into his body, which made Mu Feng feel a lot better when he walked in this kind of ghost place, but he still hoped that one day he could walk here without covering up like them, and he didn't have to cover his mouth and nose with a cloth to avoid inhaling too much poisonous mist and miasma.

Because of the incompetence, he secretly had already memorized the road in the future tense, although there was no reference, but he led the way with his intuition, and he quickly led everyone out of the woods and into the mire, and it was estimated that he had walked for half an hour, and a tall black silhouette appeared in front of him in the thick fog.

"It's here!" Seeing the shadowy mountains in the distance, Zhuo Zichen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it didn't take much trouble to come in this time, behind the mountains in front of him was the valley where the Ancient Sword Sect was located.

"Fortunately, I didn't make a mistake," Incompetent also exhaled and said with relief.

"Be careful, there may be many Qiu Changsheng induction points in the valley, and there are also mountain patrol disciples." The four of them had gathered in the fog far away, and were now only one step away from their destination.

Thinking that although they didn't cause much movement in the previous big fight here, and during the lively sect meeting of the Ancient Sword Sect, they still attracted a few disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect to check on them, obviously under the calm in front of them, there were probably many pairs of eyes watching every move in this swamp.

"There shouldn't be any problem, my junior sister and I walked this road up the mountain before, and no one found out after hiding for so long." Incompetence whispered.

Having said that, the four of them still had to guard against it, and carefully lined up in a line, seven or eight meters apart from each other, in this dense fog, they could only see each other's blurred backs, and the air flow generated by each movement could drive the rotation of the fog.

Mu Feng followed behind Xia Ruolan with bated breath, stepping on the footprints she left behind and not daring to be careless, because he knew that he didn't need anyone else, and if he was a little careless, it would be troublesome if he stepped on the mire everywhere around, although he would not be swallowed by the mire with them by his side, but it was always troublesome for them, and it was not worth doing to drag them back.

Through the thick fog, it didn't take long to come to the foot of the mountain, look up and see the lush green on the ridge, at the foot of the mountain is a barren area of dead trees, the vegetation at the foot of these mountains is shrouded in the miasma poisonous mist in the swamp all the year round has rotted into mud, and more than ten meters high, the miasma poisonous mist can not reach the place is the plant growth vigorously.

After climbing along the mountain for a while, there was a feeling of keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, Mu Feng greedily breathed the fresh air in the dense mountain forest, and felt a lot better in his heart, and looked back at the dense fog miasma was trampled under his feet, and it was difficult to see the miass below through them at a glance.

In the quiet and silent mountain woods with a somewhat gloomy and cold feeling, the three of them followed closely behind the impotent and bent down and sneaked forward, everyone knew in their hearts that the other end of the mountain where they were standing now was the valley of the Ancient Sword Sect, and on the top of the mountain, some Ancient Sword Sect mountain patrol disciples could occasionally be heard talking and laughing with each other, judging from the sound, the distance from them was estimated to be a hundred meters in a straight line, fortunately, the trees here were lush and the vision was limited, which gave them an excellent cover.

After walking cautiously in the woods for a while, the air around them suddenly became cold and damp, it was close to evening, and the temperature in the mountains was extremely low, but it was not so cold that the four of them felt a little strange at the moment.

"It's you!" Just when the four of them had some doubts and stopped to decide whether to continue walking, Leng Yue suddenly came out from behind a big tree.

"Whew~ scared us, I thought something happened to you!" Seeing that the person who came was Leng Yue, he patted his chest and whispered to her.

"It's my technique, and I can use it to sense if someone is approaching me without me knowing. At first, I was curious as to why there were four people all of a sudden. Leng Yue replied with a soft smile.

"It smells of blood." Zhuo Zichen glanced at the woods in the distance, frowned, sniffed his nose, and said in confusion.

"Didn't I tell you before? There is a corpse collection place in front of him," looked at the three people around him, all of them sniffed subconsciously, shrugged their shoulders incompetently, and replied softly.

"Let's go check it out!" Zhuo Zichen nodded, he was also interested in the place where there were many corpses that he said before, although Mu Feng also wanted to go and see it, but when he thought about the bad premonition in his heart, he was a little melancholy, and he didn't know whether he should go or not, which confirmed the old saying that in fact, many things would rather not be known than known.

"Don't look good, it's too crazy." Leng Yue stood in front of the four of them and shook her head gently towards Zhuo Zichen, although she couldn't see her expression at the moment with a hat covered with a black veil, but from the sound, she should have been shocked by the so-called corpse gathering place in front of her.

"Did you find anything?" Incompetent frowned slightly and asked Leng Yue softly.

When the two were separated before, Leng Yue was in charge of staying behind to investigate those corpses, and now that so much time has passed, I don't know if she has found it.

Leng Yue shook her head slightly, "No, there are nearly two hundred corpses in total, and I don't know what they did wrong." ”

At Zhuo Zichen's insistence, Leng Yue had no choice but to take them to the corpse collection site, and before they could get close to the surroundings, there was a strong smell of fish and decay that made people disgusting and disgusting, and everyone hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their hands, and frowned tightly After passing through a dense thorn, there was a terrifying and extremely shocking scene in front of them.

Mu Feng's eyes widened like Zhuo Zichen Xia Ruolan, the cruel scene in front of him made him feel that his feet were a little weak, although he had seen a lot of scenes of bloody corpses flowing all over the battlefield for a long time, but the grove in front of him that was piled up by nearly two hundred corpses still brought him a great shock.

I am afraid that only incompetence and Leng Yue are a little calmer at the scene, because they found out, so they have already been shocked, although Mu Feng and Zhuo Zichen and Xia Ruolan were mentally prepared when they came, but after witnessing the tragedy in front of them, they still felt cold in their backs and numb scalps, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to say for a while.

Two hundred corpses were scattered in a wooded clearing of less than twenty square meters, without exception, all of them had their feet and feet cut off, but their limbs were not taken away, but fell next to their corpses.

The temperature here is extremely low, and the poisonous gas in the death swamp is full of flies, which can't fly in at all, so these corpses are naturally rotting and stinking, and the speed of decay is far faster than that of the outside world, and it can be identified from the robes on their bodies that they are all disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect, which is even more puzzling.

What did they do wrong to be tortured like this? He had to be cut off, his limbs drained, and the blood in his body would be drained, and he would die in great pain.

In this small area, the soil on the ground is jet black, grab a handful of wet soil, and after a few matches, you can see that the soil below is stained red with blood, exuding a strong smell of blood, there are no beasts, snakes and insects here, so these corpses still remain the same as before death after they have been dead, and no one has come to bury them.

Mu Feng's brows furrowed, and after exhaling deeply under the complicated gaze of everyone, he came to the two corpses closest to the pile of corrosion in the distance, stepped on the blood stains that had not yet dried and seeped into the soil, bent down and squatted, and turned over one of the corpses that had fallen to the ground with a solemn expression.

The limbs of the body were still on the ground, the wound was blackened, and the clothes on the body were also stained red with blood, from the position where the limbs fell to the position where the body was lying at this moment, it was about two or three meters away, and there were traces of dragging on the ground, it seemed that he had struggled before he died, but he was powerless after crawling out a few meters away.

When the corpse turned over and saw that it was holding a hideous face full of horror, pale and bloodless, Mu Feng's eyes gradually became rosy, it was none other than Xiao Wu, and the owner of the other corpse was also in no suspense.

Hearing that two people were brought here to be sentenced to death, Mu Feng and Yin Feng both had a bad premonition, and subconsciously thought of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu, the two simple and naïve teenagers who had accompanied them to visit the Ancient Sword Sect before, but they didn't expect them to guess correctly.

The two corpses were lying quietly on the ground, their mouths were stuffed with cotton cloth, in the face of such a tragic scene, Mu Feng's heart soured in his heart, they were gagged before they died, they couldn't even make painful sounds, and they dried up the blood, which was sad and outrageous at the same time.

"Miserable, what's wrong with you, Mu Feng?" After looking around, Zhuo Zichen and the others noticed Mu Feng's abnormality and came to him.

"Is that them?" When Xia Ruolan and Zhuo Zichen saw the latest two corpses on the ground, they also let out an exclamation. When Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu accompanied them back to the Bamboo Tower before, they also had a relationship, but they didn't expect to be incompetent and found that it was none other than someone else who was executed, it was Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu who were the only ones in the Ancient Sword Sect who were still pleasing to the eye.

"Why? Why is this happening? Mu Feng's eyes were red, and a few crystal tears dripped down his cheeks, dripping on Xiao Wu's miserable and frightened face.

"These people were gagged before they died, they could only watch themselves die of blood little by little, but they couldn't do anything about it, this kind of behavior is intolerable!" Impotence exhaled deeply, and after a few Sanskrit words silently came out of his mouth.

"Corpse vanilla?" Suddenly, Xia Ruolan saw a purple plant from under a corpse that had long been turned into white bones on the side, and if she didn't look closely, it was easy to ignore this purple plant that was only half an inch long.

Upon closer inspection, there were many of these purple plants emerging from the blood-soaked red soil in the dirt beneath some of the bones, estimated to be an inch or two long, and the short ones were just emerging.

Xia Ruolan said this, Incompetence and Zhuo Zichen and Leng Yue also hurriedly picked up some white bones, and sure enough, there were many purple plants under these white bones, these looked a bit like lantern plants, but there were many plants that showed light purple on the whole body, but there were not those corpses that had not completely decayed into white bones.

"I see, they use these corpses to raise corpse vanilla!" Zhuo Zichen suddenly thought of something, and pulled up a corpse herb that had touched the purple flower bud from the ground to the side of his nose and sniffed it gently.

"Does this smell sound familiar to you?" Zhuo Zichen handed the corpse herb in his hand to Mu Feng, who was deeply remorseful and became a little sluggish because of the death of Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu.

Mu Feng frowned and sniffed with a little doubt, when this strange and unique smell was inhaled into his nose, Mu Feng's eyes lit up and then showed a shocked expression.

"The antidote they used to resist these poisonous mist miasma was refined with this corpse herb, no wonder the soil around here has become so fertile because of the decay of these corpses, it turns out that it is all corpse herbs underneath!"

"It seems that they just harvested it some time ago, and not a single corpse herb here has taken shape and bloomed." Impotent nodded approvingly.

"Corpse herbs grow under extremely harsh conditions, and they need blood to germinate, and then they need enough nutrients to produce them, and the reason why these people have their limbs cut off is so that their blood can flow out to nourish the area and let the seeds buried underneath germinate." Leng Yue said softly.

"These inhuman brutes!" Mu Feng glared angrily, gritted his teeth, and his clenched fists were bruised.

"There are no living creatures around here, and if you want to raise so many corpse herbs, I'm afraid you can only use human blood." Zhuo Zichen looked around at the quiet woods and said coldly.
