Chapter 204: Trekking in the Swamp
Xu Yunshu paused for a moment in front of the guillotine road, and made up his mind to go to this swamp to find out.
After all, if Zhao Yulang and the others could all live well here, then Xu Yunshu, as a fourth-level predator, would be even less likely to encounter any danger.
But be careful.
Although Xu Yunshu could reach the swamp with a slight leap without worrying about falling into the abyss, he still strengthened his body so that the white wolf could jump farther.
He kicked hard, aimed at the target of the jump, and flew over the gap in the cliff in the most standard wolf leap position, and stepped onto this eerie swamp.
As soon as the front paw stepped on the dirt ground, Xu Yunshu's paw felt the expected collapse, and according to the marks left by the previous water balloon, the collapse to his chest was over.
However, things are not so simple.
The dirt that Xu Yunshu stepped on with his front paws collapsed much faster than expected.
If you land in such a way, it is inevitable to fall a dog and gnaw on the mud.
Embarrassment is secondary, the key problem is that Xu Yunshu realized that he had stepped into a different place from the nearest foothold.
This seemingly large, flat dirt ground has hollow potholes underneath!
Xu Yunshu immediately became alert, and while the hind paws had not yet landed, he directly strengthened the two hind limbs, causing the claw pads of these two hind legs to suddenly increase, forming two huge flat sheet-like structures.
At the same time, he spread out his two forelimbs and made a large-font chest expansion that was completely impossible for wolves, and also made the footpads of his front paws evolve wildly.
With these four strengthened "boats", as well as his own strong waist and abdomen strength, Xu Yunshu was able to stabilize his body.
Xu Yunshu was "lying" on the mud in a strange posture, and the long kiss part of the white wolf's body was facing the pit he had almost fallen into just now.
This was the second time he had almost fallen into the trap.
The last time was in the Chilong Valley, Xu Yunshu, who was a third-level predator, fell into a bamboo shoot pit underground.
It was a dangerous time, and this time, although it was a little more embarrassed, it was actually more relaxed.
Taking the opportunity of lying on the ground, Xu Yunshu also saw the truth of the pothole.
It appears to be a naturally occurring mud pit with no deadly creatures lurking in it, and nothing of interest what's worth tainting.
That's all.
However, this is also where Xu Yunshu is puzzled.
Why is there such a strange mud puddle in this swamp where so much fine soft sediment has been silted?
Could it be that there is biogas?
However, Xu Yunshu didn't smell any strange smell, only the slightly earthy smell of mud rushed into his nose, and in addition, there was a trace of strange fragrance.
Xu Yunshu twitched his nose, trying to distinguish the source of this fragrance.
However, he failed, because the whole swamp was filled with such a smell.
This strange fragrance was extremely light, and with Xu Yunshu's sense of smell, it could only be detected after burrowing into the swamp.
Xu Yunshu had never smelled this smell, but he faintly felt very familiar, as if he had met it somewhere.
He knew that no one would give him a ready-made answer, and that all his questions needed to be explored and sought by himself.
With the strengthened huge claw pad, Xu Yunshu no longer worried that his body would sink into the mud, and he used his clumsy steps to drive the huge claw pad and move forward slowly.
After taking a few steps forward, Xu Yunshu looked back, and sure enough, he saw that the traces left behind him were gradually disappearing, and they were completely disappeared after a few seconds.
It's a magical swamp.
Xu Yunshu set a time limit for himself.
If within two hours, he couldn't find anything special in this swamp, or if he didn't find Zhao Yulang and the others who had fled into the swamp, he would immediately retreat.
Because judging by the speed and damage of the giant snail against the enemy, if this time limit is exceeded, their battle will be over, and the giant snail may disintegrate at any time.
In this way, Xu Yunshu's efforts to find a better way to restrain the pupa are meaningless.
By that time, his real body would have already returned to Haishi, and if Peng Chengren hadn't been subdued by then, he might as well go to that hunt.
After determining the goal, Xu Yunshu continued his trek.
This swamp is unexpectedly desolate.
He walked on the mud swamp, skirting the grey puddles, exploring his way and avoiding the deep pits that might appear at any time, and he walked for more than twenty minutes, but he did not see a single living thing.
The thick fog had already shrouded everything around Xu Yunshu.
At first, he was worried that this dense fog was poisonous, or something else special, but after carefully testing for a long time, Xu Yunshu finally determined that this was an ordinary water mist—just mixed with that familiar fragrance.
Xu Yunshu didn't have the energy to recall where he had smelled this breath for the time being, and all his attention was focused on searching for the target.
Any target is fine, even if it's a living thing.
If there are no living beings, it will make him feel terrified.
Because Xu Yunshu involuntarily had questions:
Why is there no biological residue in such a non-toxic and harmless place?
Even in the swampy area, there should be some special animals.
However, looking around, Xu Yunshu couldn't see anything.
It seemed to be a dead silence, a far cry from the situation in the corner of the Dream Forest—no, even worse than there, after all, there was a lush woodland in the corner of the Dream Forest.
And there is nothing here, it is like an abandoned place that even mosquitoes and flies don't want to visit.
The more Xu Yunshu walked, the more frightened he felt.
This is not like a poisonous lichen forest, Xu Yunshu has been running at a high speed before encountering the silk wire cutting, and this ghost place has no place to grasp it.
In other words, Xu Yunshu has a firm goal in his heart, but when it comes to actual actions, he is confused.
Look for the weirdness, this swamp is weird everywhere.
But under this strange appearance, there is no dangerous element to be found.
This trip made Xu Yunshu feel extremely confused, he didn't even know why Zhao Yulang and his gang jumped into this swamp, and why they disappeared after coming to this swamp.
With the strength of the primary and secondary predators, they should have a hard time trekking through this ghost land and not being able to run far.
Swamps are a different form of weirdness than lichen forests.
Xu Yunshu's pace gradually slowed down, and when he looked up, the distance was covered by a thick and dense fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
It was only then that he felt like a wolf wandering in a dream, as if it didn't exist in any world at all.
Unreal and false.
Xu Yunshu shook his head, trying to sober himself up.
Walking in this eerie swamp without any clear goal can easily be tingling and exhausting for the senses.
At this moment, Xu Yunshu's eyes suddenly lit up!
He finally noticed something out of the ordinary.
