Chapter 301: Nine Secluded Swamps
On November 12, there was still one day before the winter solstice, and the four strongest countries in Yanxi, except for Zhai Rong, gathered at the entrance of the Nine Secluded Swamp.
"Boom...... Jiang Zicheng, the king of Quyan, I didn't expect you to join in the fun! Jiang Wuxiong, the king of Qirong, held a freshly peeled human skin and sniffed carefully, but his eyes had already drifted to the king of Qiyan with 10,000 elite soldiers. This land of Yanxi is the guy he fears the most. I can't imagine that this old guy can't be idle, and it's not enough to have mastered Yanxi's military power.
"Hehe, this king is just worried about the safety of my Zhuo'er nephew, come over to serve the master!" King Quyan couldn't tell the truth on his face, but he was muttering in his heart. The people he sent out had not yet detected the movement of the Far West, could it be that their lord had only lured them out and not himself had gone in?
He shook his head secretly, based on his observations over the years, this nephew is definitely a master with ideas, and he will definitely not go to the Nine Shadows for fear of accidents.
"Hey, hey, King Quyan, your set is good for that kid, don't hold it in front of our old friends, isn't it, Gongsun Chu?"
Sun Chu, the prince of Qishan, fiddled with the compass in his hand, and glanced at the human skin of King Qirong and his hand lightly: "Jiang Wuxiong, I heard that King Zhai Rong went out of the city to greet our lord, do you say...... Could they have joined forces already? ”
The snake hit seven inches, and when King Rong heard the three words of King Zhai Rong, his eyes revealed a cold light.
However, Gongsun Chu didn't care, he still looked at the pointer on the compass casually, and sat quietly in the car.
"Hehehe," King Rong did not show weakness, "Gongsun Chu, you just take a few boys, I'm afraid it's not enough to be a seasoning for Jiuyou." ”
"The people who gave it to Jiuyou to fill their stomachs, you are all ready, and this king will take advantage of it with a skewed face!" After Gongsun Chu finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stopped speaking.
Gongsun Chu's words were equivalent to choking King Rong and King Quyan, and their faces changed slightly, but they didn't move. Their targets are all Nine Shadows, and there is no need to fight meaninglessly because of a few words before entering.
By the time Lutu and Batuli arrived, the three kings had stopped arguing. When he saw that Yiqu only had two juniors, he just glanced at them and didn't say anything.
Lu Tu and Batuli did not come up either, and found a place on the side to settle down.
At the entrance of the Nine Shades, although there are many people, the atmosphere is strangely quiet. Everyone is busy with their own hands, although everyone has their own confidence in their hearts, but after arriving here, I feel that it seems that the confidence that I was proud of before always feels that it is not enough.
As a result, many people began to whisper to each other about possible accidents and their own preparations. Then I exchanged experiences and insights with each other. At this time, if you can be more prepared, you will have one more chance to survive in the future.
On this quiet but extremely tense morning, a team of twenty people had already quietly entered the Nine Shadows Swamp through an entrance on the side.
Qian Feiyue, Qianmo and Mingqiu, Hua Zhuo took Mu Zhiqing, as well as Qiao Xi and Ji Fei, and Yun Yi, who had just recovered from his injuries and had to keep up, with ten guards and a lot of equipment, chose to enter the swamp a day earlier. Today is only one day until the winter solstice, and the fog should be the thinnest today except for tomorrow.
Each of them wore a thick mask on their face, and there was no gas mask, which was also protected by multiple layers of charcoal.
As soon as they stepped into the Nine Shadows Swamp, they found that everyone's expectations for the winter solstice were a little high. Even though the winter solstice was only one day away, the first fatal crisis in the Nine Shadows Swamp, the poisonous miasma, was already so strong that they almost fell into a crisis.
Generally, swamps also have miasma, because the mud is damp all year round, and water vapor evaporates and collects in the air, forming high humidity air. This kind of air often carries a lot of germs, which can make people sick and infected.
However, because of the perennial fog, the direct sunlight does not shine in, and the swamp becomes a "bacterial soup" rich in organic matter and a mosquito "nursery", and these depressions evaporate water vapor, which recondenses into tiny water droplets on the top of the woods, forming a fog. It is mixed with bacteria and mosquitoes to form a "miasma" like a cloud.
"Everyone be careful, these miasma is mixed with a lot of poison, and you must not touch the skin." Qian Crimson looked at the dark gray "miasma" that permeated their heads, and her expression was solemn.
The miasma in the swamp was somewhat unexpected, not only toxic gases such as methane from leaf corrosion, but also germs and poisonous insects.
Sure enough, only about half a mile after they had fumbled inside, they saw a red-green miasma. As they walked through almost with their eyes squinted, they could see the little red-green bugs flying around their eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that they had smeared several layers of mosquito repellent medicine in advance, I was afraid that this diffuse miasma alone would kill them.
"Hiss......" When those little insects flew by their skin, a group of people couldn't help but shudder. The miasma above his head seemed to cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.
"Wait!" Qian Mo felt a little wrong, and for a moment just now, he seemed to have an urge to escape.
When he shouted, Hua Zhuo also sensed a problem: "There is something abnormal, as if something is interfering with our minds." ”
Qian Scarlet Yue's brows locked after hearing this. At least for the time being, they shouldn't have been attacked by the miasma. She searched her mind for books she had read in her previous life, and as she connected the mist with the mind-related words, a story surged into her mind.
The story probably goes that in a place where the fog is shrouded all year round, people will jump into the cliff every once in a while. There is no reason, no murderer. Later, a psychologist came to the scene for a period of time and found that the perennial fog will have a dark effect on people's psychology, which will stimulate the depression factor in people's subconscious, so that people have the idea of seeking death.
Now it seems that the poisonous miasma of the Nine Shadows Swamp will not only cause harm to the body, but also have an impact on people's minds.
"These miasma will stimulate the dark consciousness in our body." The reminder of the Scarlet Moon makes everyone vigilant.
"Take the awakening medicine in your mouth." Hua Zhuo gave an order, and everyone quickly stuffed the awakening pill prepared by Hua Kai into the mask and pressed it under the tongue.
Awakening pills can help them calm their minds without distractions. The cool breath made everyone's heads loosen, and the depressing breath just now was also swept away.
"Alright, be careful, go on!"
It was only a few miles away, and everyone had already felt the extraordinary sound of the Nine Hells, and the group had become more vigilant. They know that the deeper they go, the more danger they will be.
