The direction of the compass's light condensation means that Li Youlan's body is located, as long as you follow the line and keep looking for it, you will definitely be able to find it. The Bagua Compass, also known as the Fuxi card, is mainly used to identify the body of the evil and see through the camouflage.

I rechecked the equipment I was carrying before I set off, and it didn't hurt to be cautious, although the chances of the White Mist Banshee appearing were not high, it was still possible to run into another enemy, Samuel.

The White Mist Banshee itself does not linger where her corpse is, and her whereabouts are not fixed, which is also the most difficult place for the White Mist Banshee to deal with. Samur is an unknown factor, and I don't know if this guy Samur is still in the vicinity of Nanhe Village.

But if he's still around, things will be a little more troublesome. I drove all the way south, through the jungle bush, found a path that winded upward, and as I climbed all the way to the top, I noticed an anomaly.

What I saw was a swamp-like muddy field, where the vegetation was almost half-rotten, but not depleted to death. It stands to reason that the vegetation is so rotten that it will not be able to continue to grow.

It should have been a wasteland by now, but instead of becoming a wasteland, it became a muddy swamp, and I stopped and became unable to move an inch, because I had to get nervous and observe the movement around me when I stepped on a big smoke bubble if I took any further step.

A faint purple mist wandered through the air, and I immediately withdrew from the field, then took out my handkerchief and put the unprocessed obscularity into my mouth and chewed it, a sour taste spreading in my mouth, but I had to do it.

After I had chewed it thoroughly, I put it flat on my handkerchief, fastened it tightly as a mask, and covered my mouth and nose completely. A strong pungent smell that was peculiar to the leaves began to sweep through my mouth and nose, and even I felt my feet sway twice because of the smell.

Another function of the obscuring leaves is that they can resist the miasma in the air - in front of me is a forest of miasma that has already formed, if I walk in unprepared, even if I can avoid the big smoke bubbles, it is estimated that there will be no return.

I thought to myself that my judgment was correct, fortunately let Wang Er Mazi and that kid go back with Lang Jin first, otherwise, if the two of them came here with me, the difficulties they encountered would only be twice as difficult.

Looking ahead, there are some yellowed and cracked animal carcasses under many trees, some of which are slender and have small hip bones, which are supposed to be the remains of animals such as ocelots or hyenas.

But there were also some animal carcasses that caught my attention – first of all, their skulls were incredibly large, and when I saw the huge silhouette, my first reaction was to think of elephants.

However, this is where the confusion lies. Miasma forests are very toxic, and they are divided into rising and sebbing phases. As its name suggests, the Miasma Forest refers to a jungle littered with miasma.

Miasma is not a mysterious and terrible poisonous gas, the principle is that after most of the animal corpses decompose, due to the rise in humidity and temperature in the primeval forest, the corpse gas stored in the animal's body begins to spread and heat, and eventually forms a toxic gas.

However, it does not mean that people will be poisoned in a place with miasma, in fact, many times, people are in a miasma environment, and they do not know it, but they will still not have any damage if they are in a miasma environment for a long time.

As the old saying in the medical profession goes, any drug that talks about toxicity without dosage is a hooligan. In fact, the same is true of miasma. Miasma is toxic, but the human body contains antibodies to toxicity.

Especially the toxins contained in the corpse gas, if it is said that people will be poisoned if they smell the slightest bit, then the forensic doctors in the forensic center will not work, and they must all wear gas masks.

Therefore, whether it is possible to be safely in the miasma forest and shuttle through this environment needs to be judged according to the two periods of the miasma forest. When the miasma forest is in the calm period, people can safely pass through the miasma forest without any problems.

In the miasma forest during the subsidence period, the wind speed will generally be greater than the third level, the sun is abundant but the temperature hovers between 10~20 degrees, and the humidity is low, and the air contains not much moisture. In this environment, the corpse gas of animals does not emit much toxicity, and the human body can fully resist it.

But in the opposite period, during the ascending period, one must not trespass into the miasma forest, otherwise nine out of ten people will not return. If the miasma forest in the rising stage has been completely formed, the air will be filled with a lilac poisonous mist, which can be detected by careful observation.

In most cases, people can distinguish the two states of the rising phase and the rest phase of the miasma forest with the naked eye, but there are still some cases that are difficult to distinguish. Like rain and night.

On rainy days, due to the increase of moisture in the air and the absorption capacity of rainwater, all the miasma in the miasma forest will be temporarily absorbed into it, so it is difficult to tell with the naked eye whether the miasma forest is in the rising or calming period.

The same is true for the night, where the poisonous fog in the miasma forest is refracted in the light, which forms a lilac poisonous fog that people can distinguish. But when it gets dark into the night, it's a different story.

The night in the primeval forest and the night in the city are completely two different concepts, if it happens that the night sky is hazy and mist, and even the moonlight cannot shine on the earth, it is really dark without reaching out to the five fingers, which is very fatal.

Therefore, in rainy days and dark nights, it is absolutely not recommended to walk through the miasma forest. However, unlike humans, wild animals have a special ability to distinguish between miasma.

Beasts like canines and felines have a very sensitive sense of smell, and when they are miles away, they can distinguish the presence of miasma forests and whether they can shuttle through them. And the big beasts have their own way of discerning.

Therefore, most of the small beasts die in the miasma forest in the dark and rainy days, and even they have difficulty discerning the danger of the miasma forest. But the big beasts are different, which is why I wonder about the bones in front of me.

First of all, the resistance of large beasts to poison is different from that of humans and small beasts, and the larger the physique, the stronger the resistance to poison, this is the general consensus. Especially for large beasts such as elephants, porcupines, man-bears, Siberian tigers, etc., the threat to them from the miasma forest is limited.

Even if they accidentally enter the Miasma Forest, they can quickly recognize the danger here and escape from it. So, if a large beast is to die in the miasma forest, there is almost only one possibility - to fall into a large bubble of smoke.

But if they had fallen into a bubble of smoke, their bones would not have appeared in front of me like this. I think it's likely that these beasts died here for some man-made reason. That's when I remembered about Samuel.

If Samur is really the Bat Demon, then the remains of the beast that appeared in the Miasma Forest are likely to be created by him.

"More attention must be paid to ......"

After taking precautions, I noticed the large smoke bubbles passing through the huge miasma forest, and it was only in the evening that I successfully left the miasma forest. But I didn't find anything special on this day, so I found a place to perch late at night, and I continued my journey during the day the other day.

The map that Da Jiang gave me before I set off has already been given to Wang Er Mazi, because the area drawn on that map does not include the place I am traveling now. However, today is different from yesterday, and it is clear that the terrain changes more complicated after going deeper into the jungle.

At noon, I had been walking along the light on the compass to find it, and when I saw a glimmer of light through a birch forest, I hurried over to see that it was a sparkling inland lake—but when I placed the Bagua Compass on the lake, the light still did not converge.

The light on the gossip compass still pointed in the direction of the south, indicating that this lake was not the place where Li Youlan was buried. However, the light on the compass is obviously much stronger now than it was at the beginning, indicating that the distance is much closer.

I opened the kettle I was carrying with me and poured out the water in the kettle - since my water bag was made of cowhide, the secrecy was not very good, and I had traveled through the miasma forest before, and the water in the water bag was estimated to have penetrated a lot of corpse poison and deterioration.

When I poured the water out, the water was faintly yellowish, which was a sign that I had absorbed the miasma. I turned the cowhide water bag over and washed it carefully, took out the Tianhui grass, bellflower, and jade lotus seeds from the package, and thoroughly mashed them with a grinder and put them in the cowhide water bag.

After that, he took out the gauze net, lit the bonfire last night and burned the remaining charcoal and sand, put them into the double-sided open bottles in turn, and finally wrapped them in handkerchiefs, and introduced the water from the lake into the bottles, and began to filter them.

When you are in the wild, it is right that everything is based on safety, because in this kind of place, you still have a way to deal with demons and monsters, but if there is a problem with your body, you can really only wait for death. I'm not a doctor either, and I don't have any medication with me, so there's no way to deal with it.

Filled with water, I continued to set off, and as the Bagua Compass chased for longer and the light became brighter, I felt as if the temperature around me was gradually decreasing, and a mist filled the air. I became nervous, thinking that I was probably not far from my destination.

Sure enough, after another ten minutes or so, I found a bubbling lake. The lake here is several times smaller than before, and its shape is irregular, but the longest diameter is estimated to be only about seven or eight meters.

"Did Li Youlan actually die in such a place?"

Although there are bubbles in the lake, I couldn't feel how hot the lake was, so I ruled out the possibility that it was a natural hot spring water in the mountains for the time being. I haven't heard from the villagers of Nanhe Village that there is an extinct volcano on Mount Folian, so it is unlikely that there will be hot springs.

The most important thing is that there is no special smell of sulfur that is bound to waft near the hot spring water, and the special smell of the hot spring will not be forgotten once you smell it. I picked up a small stone and threw it into the lake, and there was a soft pop that didn't even splash.

I chuckled in my heart, thinking to myself that on the surface, the water was too dark to see the depth, but now it seems that the water may be terrifyingly deep. It's more like a lake than a lake. I roughly estimate that the pool is at least 10 meters deep.
