Chapter 124: No Remorse for Death (1)
There had been a rain the day before yesterday, and the misty miasma in the depths of the misty mountain forest covered the entire forest. Xin Che set out from the temple at noon, and was entangled by the willow wind on the way, even if he hurried as fast as he could, it was already midnight when he reached the depths of the valley. He didn't go back to the bamboo house, and he broke into the forest to save people without preparation, and the result was that he was forced out several times by the miasma and insects and ants in the dark.
In such a treacherous place, high martial arts do not mean everything, more often luck is more important. In desperation, Xinche had no choice but to find a big tree nearby to live in, meditate on the top of the tree, and wait for the light of day to just have a hint of clarity before he hurriedly got up and went to find someone.
It's not an easy journey, and if there is a way to deal with the miasma, then there is no skill in dealing with the extremely dangerous quagmire swamp. The swampy depressions were of different sizes, unevenly distributed, and each one was so deeply hidden that from a distance it might seem like an ordinary blister or meadow, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you might have been caught in a trap and immediately submerged and besieged. To deal with these naturally formed natural traps, medicine stones and force are of little use, so they have to carefully verify and move forward step by step, and their minds are tense at all times without allowing the slightest distraction.
Xinche made a simple cane to find his way, and although there were no dangers along the way, he did not encounter swamp traps, but he also walked slowly. Along the way, he cautiously explored the road conditions, and on the other hand, he had to look around from time to time, for fear that he would see the objects left by Yin Suwen next to some grass or mud pool, but fortunately, except for some traces of outsiders entering, it didn't look like someone had been killed and fought when looked at carefully. Looks like she's safe.
He knew very well that Yin Suwen had been in this forest for a day and a night, and the current situation was likely to be extremely dangerous, so he never relaxed his steps at all. Even though every step was wrapped in mud and he struggled to walk, he never stopped to rest.
Beyond the swamp is the center of the Miasma Forest, which looks like a giant miasmic in the shape of a lake, but the mud here resembles a foul-smelling muddy water than a swamp. From his previous experience, the snow mushroom should have grown on top of several large mud embryos protruding from the center of the mire.
Edelweiss is a elixir that grows alone, and as long as one grows, there will be no second plant of its kind within a radius of several miles. From a distance, the center of the quagmire was also pitch black, and there was no trace of the color of snow and ice. Therefore, he immediately judged that Yin Suwen should have come and successfully picked the herbs. But take a closer look. There was no trace of Yin Suwen near the mud embryo except for a clump of huge weeds, including the turtle fish beast he had been worried about. However, if Yin Suwen had successfully returned, it would be impossible for him to only advance and not return along the way.
Xin Che was still not at ease after all. After checking the cane, it was quite thick. Walked slowly along the perimeter of the quagmire. began to call Yin Suwen's name softly. The turtle fish beast in this quagmire is relatively lazy, as long as his voice does not attract their attention, it should not be actively attacked under normal circumstances.
It looked like I walked around the quagmire for almost half a circle. Xin Che has been calling Yin Su softly without stopping. Finally, after the sound of mud rolling, the weeds on top of the mud sprouts timidly revealed a pair of dark eyes.
Yin Suwen's mud-stained little face slowly rose up from the grass, and she began to cry from the first moment she saw Xinche. It's just that the cry is obviously suppressed, and he doesn't dare to make too much noise.
"Susu!"
"Brother Xinche!"
Yin Suwen half-prostrate in the grass, gently waved his hand to Xinche, and choked with tears and told him not to come. She looked happy and sad at the same time, covered with cold and damp mud stains, and her pitiful appearance made her heart unbearable.
Xin Che couldn't hear her whisper clearly, but he could also know from her gesture that she was going to let herself go, and he was instantly alert when she did this. Sure enough, he took a few more steps in the direction behind the grass, and when he looked at it from another angle, he saw two hideous-looking turtle beasts in the middle of the quagmire, glaring angrily at Yin Suwen not far away. She clutched a pitch-black dagger in her hand, and two extinguished torches by her side, thinking that it was on her way through the night.
The two turtle beasts in front of him were covered in mud, each hiding half of their bodies in the mire, and Xin Che could only roughly guess that they should be one big and one small, with a few feet in length. The small one is okay, even if it is killed, it will not have much lethality, on the other hand, the big one, the huge mouth and claws are more like the giant crocodile pig dragon in the southern river.
The two beasts seemed to have become impatient to stalemate with Yin Suwen any longer, and while constantly spitting cold air at her, they were eager to come ashore completely. The situation was critical, Xin Che couldn't discuss with her anymore, and climbed a huge tree by the mud pond in a few steps, followed the natural staircase formed by it and the two adjacent trees in front of him, and landed next to Yin Suwen after a few jumps and rolls.
When inspecting the shore of the lake, Xin Che did not see the grass vine boat specially placed by Yin Suwen to cross the mud pool, but the three big trees near the mud pond had different degrees of mud stains, so he immediately thought of going directly to the center of the mud pond from here.
The two evil beasts were attracted out by Yin Suwen's unexpected intrusion yesterday, and confronted her torches all night, and now they finally waited for the torches to go out and suddenly joined a foreign reinforcement. As Xinche jumped down from the tree, the two beasts no longer hesitated, and launched attacks on the two people above the mud embryo. Although the big beast has a heavy body, it is obviously experienced in predation, relying on its own weight advantage without hesitation, it directly restrains Xin Che with two claws, and his shoulders are about to bite his throat. Although the small beast is not large, it is better because its claws are flexible and sharp, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from Yin Suwen when it is entangled with Yin Suwen.
Yin Suwen acted cautiously yesterday, even if he climbed the tree and landed, he tried not to make any sound, and after successfully obtaining the snow furry grass, he could have retreated with his whole body, but he didn't expect that somehow he still led out the two evil beasts, one big and one small. She lit the torch on her body, and it was not a problem to protect herself for a while, but the little beast did not know whether to live or die, and scratched it fiercely with a claw when she lit the torch, and the blood on her calf was dripping with blood, which forced her to return to the ground in the first place, and could only confront them all night.
Now that Xin Che stepped forward to contain the most dangerous beast, Yin Suwen thought that he could still control the little beast by fighting with all his strength, so he shouted Xin Che and threw the dagger in his hand towards him.
"Brother Xinche, their lives are all in the abdomen!" (To be continued......)
