Chapter 174: A Vast Wetland

Walking out of the teleportation array, Lan Wu's first feeling was that it was stuffy.

It's two worlds away from the seaport of Curast. The sea breeze blows in the city all the time, taking away the heat of the rainforest climate and making it unbearable to leave this seaside city.

But it's a rainforest in its own right. The humid and sweltering climate makes it a dangerous place. This is a huge wetland, and it is also one of the maps that Lan Wu was most reluctant to sweep when he first played the game.

The air was filled with rancid stench. Lan Wu stepped on the slippery mud floor, and the black mud on both sides immediately gurgled and bubbled out. This is the biogas produced by fermentation of rotten branches and leaves that have accumulated under the silt.

Oh my God, I really hate it.

Lan Wu secretly scolded himself, following behind Ovira and Dracula, walking side by side with the little girl. In this kind of environment, it is better to let professional people lead the way. Who knows what's hidden beneath the damp dirt ahead.

Dracula was very competent, and led Lan Wu and his party to shuttle through the huge wetlands with ease, and soon left the teleportation array behind. After walking a distance, he suddenly took out a bundle of hemp rope, skillfully climbed the nearest tree, and then bowed his head and explained: "Come up, let's walk on the tree for the next road." ”

As he spoke, he made two loops around the thickest trunk. At each end of the hemp rope is a nearly oval glossy pebble. One ride, the pebbles lock. He tugged hard, then picked up the other end of the twine, threw it a few times, and threw it at another big tree.

There was a soft sound, and the other end was fixed to the trunk of the tree. At this time, Dracula explained to Lan Wu and the others, who had just climbed the tree, "Now I think there are quite a few people staring at us. To be on the safe side, we have to erase the traces. ”

Lan Wu was relieved. Yes, the huge wetland deserves to be called a wetland. The ground was muddy, and if you didn't want to leave a trace, you really had to go over the trees. This Dracula is quite reliable.

Then Dracula stepped forward and easily climbed to the big tree opposite. With his demonstration, Ovira and the little girl didn't go wrong. Then he arrived at Lanwu, but he teleported to the other side.

Dracula smiled. This is indeed the method used by mages. He turned around and grabbed the rope and shook it, quite skillfully, easily freed the other end and retracted the rope.

Fixing the other end of the rope back to a large tree in front of him, Dracula said no more, jumped up and landed firmly on the tree.

The barbarian's jump.

This skill is often used to complete close quarters with opponents, and many barbarians love this survival skill. The advanced skill is a jump attack, which deals a heavy blow to the opponent while completing the melee attack.

Lan Wu smoothly teleported over. Only Ovila, the paladin, and the little girl had to climb to the opposite side with the help of a rope. Paladin's Charge doesn't work well in the rainforest.

In the same way, the group used skills and ropes to move forward smoothly for nearly five kilometers. By this time it was already dark. Dracula also retracted the ropes, explaining, "It's so far away, it's going to take a while for them to find us. There's no need to climb in a tree. By the time they found it, there was no trace of the ground. ”

Lan Wu already knew this. The power of nature is endless. Stepping on the footprints left in the wetlands, nature will slowly return to its original state. To put it bluntly, it's just a lot of small insects living under the silt. They are the ones who have erased the footprints.

With Dracula, the head snake, leading the way, the three of Lan Wu didn't bother much. Soon, a bonfire rises on a rare dry soil slope in the wetland. Everyone took out the dry food they had prepared in advance and ate it silently with clean water.

"How far is it?" Lan Wu ate first, patted the scraps off his hands, and looked at Dracula.

"At least two days away." Dracula devoured his appetite and said vaguely, "If you don't meet those dwarfs on the move, you can get to that place in two days." ”

The Soul Hunter, the dwarf in Dracula's mouth. This rainforest-dwelling race has been corrupted by demonic powers, becoming cruel and bloodthirsty, accustomed to doing things to humans. They are adept at hiding in the rainforest, using poisonous blow needles to spy on passing humans. If they don't, they will rush up and besiege humans to death with their sharp knives, which resemble kitchen knives, before bringing the corpses back to the tribe to eat.

Lan Wu deliberately looked for relevant information before leaving. The world and the game are plausible. If you follow the experience in the game, I am afraid that you may capsize in the gutter and become the meat of the mouth of the demonic creature.

The dark night of the rainforest is eerie and terrifying. From time to time, from afar there was the hissing of an unknown creature or two. The four of them huddled around the campfire, where could they sleep. After all, no one knows when the soul hunter will jump out of the nearby rainforest.

After a difficult night, there were no accidents. But I often think that I am safe and sound, but suddenly an accident makes people tense their nerves again.

Lan Wu packed his bags, and when he turned his head, he saw Dracula and Ovira squatting on the ground on the left and right, checking something. He walked over curiously. Ovira heard footsteps and reminded without looking back, "Something came last night." ”

"It's a soul hunter." Dracula walked over, pointed to some faint footprints in the wetland, and whispered, "They were here last night. But I don't know why they let us go. I would recommend that it is best to get out of here as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, his face turned a little pale: "There must be a clan of soul hunters nearby, and it is very large. These footprints are the ones left behind by their scouts. Maybe they're rallying men to hunt us. ”

Lan Wu nodded. Dracula has a lot of experience, and since he can analyze so much information from such almost indistinguishable footprints, doing what he says will not make the situation better, if not worse.

The group quickly left the camping site, not even bothering to deal with the traces of the campfire. If anyone tracks them down, just those soul hunters can teach these tailwalkers how to be human.

Dracula constantly jumps and leads the way in front with agility. Lan Wu held the Great War Staff in his hand, flickering in the rainforest, and behaved most easily. Only Ovira looked more embarrassed, carrying the little girl on her back and making a charge. I didn't run far, but the armor on my body was speckled and full of mud and water.

The group used their own means to leave the rainforest inhabited by the Soul Hunter tribe as fast as they could. It was only after three hours that Dracula sent a signal that he had escaped from the Soul Hunter Tribe.

According to the rules that the pros of the Kurast Harbor have come to their senses, there will never be a second tribe near the area where one tribe of soul hunters lives. These demonized dwarf races are food for all living beings except their own tribes, including their own kind.

So for the next two days, Lanwu and his party didn't encounter much trouble and arrived at the place that Dracula had mentioned. (To be continued.) )
