The environment in the Black Forest is very strange. Most of it is woodland, interspersed with river valleys and mountains, in addition to rotting and smelly swamps.

The calm swamp always has a white mist attached to it, and rotten wood looms in the mist. If someone accidentally steps into it, the mud of the swamp will slowly and irreversibly devour it.

This devouring is a great psychological torture, the process of which often lasts for several hours, or even days. From the victim sinking into the ankle to the waist, to the neck alone, no amount of struggle or cries for help will change the fate of death.

Even the most powerful adventurer is terrified in the face of the swamps of the Black Forest. Because in the swamp there is not only sticky mud, but also all kinds of terrible monsters.

For example, some finger-sized scavenging larvae. They usually hide in the mud and don't move. However, if they detect movement, they will swarm and bite through the victim's skin and burrow into their bodies.

These bugs don't like fresh flesh, but they release venom that accelerates limb decay.

However, the scavengers of the Black Forest are very popular with necromancers, and Bug Meal is an important spellcasting material. In order to catch this valuable bug, many people venture out to settle on the perilous swamps of the Black Forest.

"Scavenging insect meal is just a product of the swamp, and there's a lot of good stuff here. When a large number of people gather, Kuonuma Village is formed. Todd rode his horse and took Zhou Qingfeng to an extremely simple and dilapidated village, "but life here is too hard and too dangerous. ”

"It's impossible for the two of us to explore the elven ruins, we have to think of something else." Returning to White Crow Village was just waiting to be besieged, so Zhou Qingfeng and Todd decided to find another way to survive. According to the introduction of the barbarians, Zhou Qingfeng decided to come to Black Swamp Village to try.

But Todd didn't expect much from Zhou Qingfeng's vision, he only repeatedly talked about the poverty and danger of Black Swamp Village, as well as the terrible environment here, "This is a hopeless village, and the people who live here are just waiting for death." ”

Zhou Qingfeng rode on horseback and looked at the dilapidated village in front of him, "We're just struggling to survive." ”

Compared to the stucco village and the crow village, which have high walls, moats, ballistas, and extremely high security, this village is unprotected.

It was surrounded only by a low wooden fence, a jumble of shacks, a filthy and disgusting camp, and villagers numb like the living dead.

There was no garrison in the village, and there were no core leaders. There are very few adventurers who come here, only more than 300 unkempt ordinary people, who go alone.

"From time to time, poisonous gas comes out of the swamp, and some terrible monsters rush out, which can kill people at any time. Like Old Theseus, those people in Lukans don't look down on this place, and they are even more reluctant to take risks. This place should not have been built into a village,

Even the goblins don't want to come, seeing it as a forbidden area.

But many poor people don't have a choice. They can't get into the regular village, so they have to come here and risk their lives to get a small amount of production from the dangerous swamp. That's why people die a lot, and life is very difficult. Todd explained.

A great upheaval is about to take place in the Black Forest, and the Bene's followers want to take it as their inheritance. If they don't resist, the humans in the Black Forest will either be sent to the blood sacrifice to the evil gods, or they will be captured and enslaved.

If you don't want to accept this tragic fate, you have to fight to the death.

Zhou Qingfeng mapped human settlements in the Black Forest in the 'Information Network', including the village built next to the swamp. He hoped to use the manpower here to do something big, but ......, it was very difficult.

The people of Kuronuma Village are poor, but it would be a big mistake to think that the people here are easy to fool.

Because he is poor, he is ignorant, so he is timid, and he is stupid.

The people here are inferior and cowardly, but they are cunning and cunning. All kinds of human inferiority can be found in them. It is a complete dream to rely on small favors, kind persuasion, or impassioned speeches to mobilize them.

But Zhou Qingfeng couldn't find other manpower that might be used for himself.

At the entrance to the village stood a broken flag riddled with holes. The wooden fence under the flag was hung with the skulls of several monsters, and many with their heads hung from it.

The heads are shriveled, some are grinning, some are crying loudly, and some are wrinkled and ugly. I don't know what these people experienced before they died, and they had such rich expressions, and they were all preserved.

People in other villages are worried about their fate. But the people of this village are unaware, or they don't care. They themselves are like cattle, no matter how bad they are, how bad can they be?

Zhou Qingfeng rode into the village, and several black guys popped out of several shacks at the entrance of the village, and when he looked closely, they were all dirty guys. They wore animal skins and garments, and the stench was disgusting.

These guys can hardly even be called human, all of them have strange appearances, showing yellow and black teeth, and greet Zhou Qingfeng with a disgusting smile, selling all kinds of products they have obtained from the swamp.

"Sir, do you need the venom glands of the mire crawler?"

"Sir, do you need the fangs of a highly venomous water snake?"

"Sir,......."

"Get out of here!" Zhou Qingfeng was disgusted by the stinking smell, and with a burst of drink, the thin stabbing sword was pulled out, "Stay away from Lao Tzu, you stinky garbage." If you dare to come near, I will stab you to death. ”

In the fifteen human villages in the Black Forest that the 'information network' shrouded them, Zhou Qingfeng was in the process of collecting information, and the only ones who dared to lie to him, the 'Holy Light', were the people from the Black Marsh Village.

The people in the village are pitiful, pathetic, and hateful, and they don't have any good feelings at all. In order to survive in a hostile environment, they have developed a set of extremely selfish codes of conduct.

Under the stabbing sword, the flattering villagers had to retreat.

The barbarian Todd also looked at this coldly, and only walked forward half a horse's head to lead the way, and said in a low voice: "The people here are like this, and they have no use value. The old witch doctor Borg's shack is just ahead, and the guy is a weirdo too.

Victor, are you sure your plan will work? Old Borg wasn't a fool. ”

"You've got to give it a try." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the village that was dirtier than a pig's nest and tried to calm himself. Now that trouble is coming, there is no choice.

The Black Forest is infested with monsters, and serious warrior wizards are rare, but many witch doctors and shamans who play with poisons, curses, and even corpses like to hang out here.

And among the witch doctors, the old Borg of Black Pond Village is very special. He is not only a cunning black-hearted trader, but also often helps the poor in the village; From time to time, he tested medicines with live people, and the drugs that could be sold were very effective.

This guy could have integrated the village of Black Swamp into an official human settlement. But he just didn't do it, and stayed in his shack every day to brew unpleasant potions, and conduct all kinds of whimsical but fruitless experiments.

Todd led the way, and Zhou Qingfeng dismounted in front of an inconspicuous shack. The two of them opened the curtain and walked in.

The space in the shack is not small, and there is a large cauldron in the middle, bubbling and bubbling. The black liquid inside smelled bad. When I got closer, I saw a headless skeleton boiling in it.

Messy corners are filled with odd things. Some resemble wooden stakes, some are air-dried animal offal, and one is a wooden shelf full of glass bottles, soaked in specimens of unknown origin.

Next to the cauldron stood a gnome in a cloak, bald, with a long beard and a gloomy face. The guy was slicing meat on a table with a knife. When Zhou Qingfeng got closer, he recognized that it was a human leg that was cut.

There were other human limbs on the table, apparently freshly dismembered and bloody.

Zhou Qingfeng was already extremely uncomfortable by the smell of cooking in the cauldron, and when he saw the dismembered corpse, he was even more sick to his stomach, and he couldn't help but want to vomit. It's like a slaughterhouse, and it's a perverted murderer.

Todd was too tall and had to bend over and bow his head when he came in. He was not accustomed to the environment of the shack, and shouted to the dwarf who dissected the corpse, "Hey, old Borg, stop." We want to have a potion for you. ”

The old dwarf seemed to have just noticed someone coming in, he looked back at Todd, but suddenly his eyes lit up and ran to Zhou Qingfeng, and shouted with surprise......

"Boy, you're in such a good body, your limbs are well-proportioned and well-proportioned, and it's the most perfect I've seen in recent years. When you're dead, sell me the body, right? I'd like to give you an autopsy. ”

Zhou Qingfeng was covering his mouth to endure his nausea, and scolded when he heard this: "...... autopsy, you also deserve to be called autopsy?" I don't think you even know the basic human anatomy, and it's better than you to find a pig killer! ”

The old dwarf jumped up and down and asked, "Are you serious?" Where can I find a pig killer who knows more about anatomy than I do? I want to learn. ”
