The stone walls on both sides of the tomb seem to be greased, and when you shine a flashlight, it looks very greasy when you reflect it.

This kind of arrangement should be done because people are afraid of stepping on the wall and crossing the swamp.

Then I shone the zenith again, and it was also covered with oil.

Sun Luyuan said to me: "If you want to cross the cloud swamp, you can only take the dark pile, there is no other way."

I said that the flashlight hit the mire and asked Sun Luyuan: "In your opinion, how deep is this swamp?" ”

Sun Luyuan shook his head: "It's hard to say, but it's definitely too shallow." The reason why it is called Cloudshade Swamp is because once a living person enters the cloud swamp, a thick miasma will float on the surface of the swamp, like a large amount of steaming water vapor, which can almost completely block the view and light. ”

I clasped my hands together and nodded.

In order to gather such a thick miasma, there must be a lot of rotting flesh and moldy vegetation buried under the mud of the swamp, but the area of the swamp is not very large, and in order to put so many things in it, the square pit used to contain the cloud-covering swamp must be deep enough.

Now I've roughly figured out how to break through the level quickly, but the problem is that I have to find one of the hidden stakes first.

With this in mind, I took out my palladium compass, set my bearings, and then crouched down to take a closer look at the Qi field that was jumping above the swamp.

The dark piles under the mire should cause some breakpoints in the circulation of the Qi field, but these breakpoints are not easy to find.

"Due east and south, southeast along the gate."

I'm still observing the location of the dark pile here, and Sun Luyuan next to me said this.

I looked up at him, "What are you muttering there?" ”

When I looked at him, I realized that he was pinching his fingers and calculating something.

At this moment, he also put down his hand, pointed to the southeast direction and said to me, "There is a hidden stake there, very close to us." ”

I took a closer look at the position of Sun Luyuan's finger, and I saw that there was indeed a small amount of sedimentation in the Yin and Yang Qi field at that location, and the dark pile should be hidden under this Qi accumulation.

The place was really close to us.

I asked Sun Luyuan: "Can you deduce the location of other hidden piles?" ”

Sun Luyuan looked a little helpless: "It's difficult, that is, this root is relatively close to us, so I can deduce its location." ”

As he spoke, he was about to walk towards the swamp, and I reached out and grabbed him: "Don't worry, I'll see how long the dark pile is." ”

Sun Luyuan frowned and asked me, "What are you going to do?" ”

I smiled and didn't respond to him immediately, just stood up and took a few steps in a southeasterly direction.

Reaching the edge of the stone path, I crouched down again, rolled up my sleeves, and plunged my arms into the mire.

As soon as the palm of the hand touched the mire, I immediately felt a relatively strong absorption, and there seemed to be an undercurrent circling under the swamp, forming a small whirlpool, as long as someone fell into the mud, if there was not enough strength to stabilize the center of gravity, they would be pulled into the mud.

Slowly pressing down the palm of my hand, half a foot into the mud, I felt the edge of the dark pile.

It is a very ordinary wooden stake, with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, and you can stand firmly on both feet.

I grabbed the edge of the stake so hard that I embedded all ten of my fingers inside the stake, and I felt something swim around my hand.

It was supposed to be a golden-toothed snake lurking in the miasma, and it really liked to make a home in the swamps of Miasma Yayoi.

The old man's electric injury said that the golden-toothed snake is a very intelligent poison, in general, they are very aggressive, but once they encounter something more poisonous, they will take the initiative to avoid it.

Ice Silkworm Gu, Iron Corpse Poison, plus the poisons that the second master fed me, the toxicity in my blood is not ordinary fierce, although this poison has been refined by the meridians, it has long been ineffective against living people, but for those poisons that are born with poison, it has a huge lethality.

I only briefly felt something slippery around my wrist twice, but soon they swam away and haven't been seen since.

Sun Lu saw that I directly plunged my arm into the mire, with a nervous expression on my face, and I turned around to comfort him, while exerting my strength, I stiffened my body and pulled out the wooden stake in the mire.

I have to say, this thing is really heavy, and the resistance brought by the mire is also very large, I almost used all the strength to eat milk, and it was pulled out little by little.

The stakes were long enough for us to build a bridge over the cloudshade marsh.

Sun Luyuan also took out a bandage from his backpack, wrapped his hands first, and then came up and worked with me to lift the wooden stake to the clean road.

Putting down the stake, Sun Luyuan and I took a long breath at the same time.

Sun Luyuan looked at the wooden stake on the ground and grinned: "Your strength is beyond the limit of a normal person." Haha, fortunately, I chose you to be the same foot, and I saved a lot of effort along the way. ”

I smiled briefly and took out the sapper shovel from my backpack: "Deal with the stakes, let's build the bridge." ”

Sun Luyuan nodded with a smile and took out a kitchen knife from his backpack.

I'm also shocked, who will bring a kitchen knife when they go out?

Sun Luyuan glanced at me and smiled a little awkwardly: "I don't have the same equipment as you, and things like daggers and machetes are controlled, and before I come, I can only find such a thing for self-defense." ”

Squeak-squeak-squeak-squeaw-squea

Before Sun Luyuan and I could start working on the stakes, the bronze door behind us was opened with a long sound.

Li Yanhuo hurriedly ran over, and while running, he pointed at my nose and shouted: "If you are not, what do you want to do!" ”

Sun Luyuan answered his question for me: "We plan to build a bridge. ”

Li Yan ran to me angrily, reached out and grabbed my sapper shovel, I guess he clenched his fingers tightly, he pulled the shovel head, and it took a long time to pull the shovel out of my palm.

I smiled and said, "What are you doing here, don't you see that we are breaking the level?" ”

Li Yan panted and let go of my shovel and said helplessly, "I know you guys are breaking through. But to pass this level, you must find all the hidden stakes. You do that...... You're cheating! ”

I said, "But before I came in, no one told me that I had to find all the hidden stakes to break through?" ”

Sun Luyuan also echoed from afar: "As long as we can pass through the Cloud Shielding Swamp, you don't care how we break the level." ”

Li Yan's face became more and more irritable, and at this time, he shouted at Sun Luyuan: "How can this work? That's cheating! ”

Hearing him say this, I was not happy: "It's not interesting for you to say this, I pulled out the stake by myself, I didn't steal or rob, how can I cheat?" ”

Li Yan said with an unhappy face: "I know you have a lot of strength, but this level is not like this." If you do this, it will greatly reduce the difficulty of the seventh cave, anyway, in my opinion, you will take a shortcut, and there is no shortcut in the Nine Dragons Cave. ”

Sun Luyuan raised his hand and pointed to the wooden stake on the ground: "Aren't you talking nonsense with your eyes open, what does it mean that there is no shortcut, you open your eyes and see, what is this?" ”

Li Yan was about to speak, when Su Hansheng's voice suddenly echoed in the tomb: "Li Yan, go back to guard your stone hall!" ”

I immediately looked around, but I didn't see Su Hansheng's shadow.

Could this be the legendary Thousand-Mile-Rim Voice?

Sun Luyuan was happy as soon as he heard Su Hansheng's words: "Look, Su Ye told you to leave it alone, go back quickly, save Su Ye from getting angry." Still stunned for what, go back. ”

Li Yan held back a smouldering fire, and stood in front of the door silently, neither obstructing us nor leaving.

Since he is no longer making trouble, Sun Luyuan and I have no worries and concentrate on cleaning up the stakes.

The pile is covered with mud and is slippery, and this is originally a log, so it is definitely not realistic to use it directly to make a bridge.

I had no experience in carpentry, and Sun Luyuan obviously didn't have any experience either, so it took us more than an hour to cut the sides of the stake a little smoother.

Then I put the stake up, and then Sun Luyuan pushed it down, and the top of the stake slowly sloped over the mud and finally landed on the other side of the swamp.

Li Yan watched the stake fall diagonally, his face dark, and he couldn't wait to drip water.

Sun Luyuan seemed to want to tease him, and before going to the bridge, he said to him with a smile: "Let's say goodbye here, don't come with me again." ”

Li Yan gave him a fierce look: "You think I'm willing!" ”

I beckoned to Sun Luyuan and motioned for him to follow.

Even if the bridge is built, when the body enters the middle of the swamp, there is still a very thick miasma in the swamp, this thing has no effect on me, but if Sun Luyuan wants to resist the miasma entering the body, he must constantly condense his mental power in action, and rely on this mental power to form a layer of protection on the surface of his body.

If you follow the normal procedure, this level is indeed difficult to break, while condensing mental power, you also have to find the location of the hidden pile, and at the same time, you have to be distracted to deal with the golden tooth snake, which has extremely high requirements for cultivation, mood and reaction ability.

It was obviously an extremely difficult level, but it was broken by us so easily, Li Yan was a little unwilling, and it was understandable to say it.

After getting off the wooden bridge, I turned around and took a hand, pulling Sun Luyuan to the other side.

Li Yan shouted at me from a distance across a swamp: "You put the stake back for me!" I can't handle something so heavy alone! ”

Sun Luyuan grinned: "You don't come, aren't there still so many bronze armored corpses in the sixth cave, you let them help you!" ”

After speaking, Sun Luyuan said to me loudly again: "He just wants to trick you into going back, don't be fooled." ”

Li Yan pointed at Sun Luyuan and shouted loudly: "Sun Luyuan, you remember it for me!" ”

At that time, Li Yan was standing in the backlight, and I couldn't see his expression clearly, but listening to his tone, I felt that he was about to explode.

Sun Luyuan didn't speak, he just grinned at him.

I reached out and patted Sun Luyuan's shoulder: "Okay, let's go." ”

Only then did Sun Luyuan turn around and follow me into the stone gate of the eighth cave.

As soon as the threshold was crossed, the flashlight was just enough to illuminate the stele of the eighth cave, and I saw that it read: "Nine Dragon Cave, Eighth Cave - Mountain God Tomb." ”
