Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Black Leech (Part 2)

"Goo!"

"Tsk!"

In the foggy swamp, the five people of Lin Chenxing were carefully moving forward under the leadership of He Nan, and the cries of insects and beasts from all around from time to time added a bit of mystery to this mist-filled quiet place.

After entering the fog swamp, Lin Chenxing and the others walked along the twisted path that had been stepped on. This is the outermost part of the swamp, and there are many people coming and going, and it is clear which places can accommodate people to walk and which places are deep in the quagmire.

But as a few people continue to go deeper, trouble gradually comes, and this trouble is something they can't avoid.

They couldn't keep going down the path that had already been stepped on, so they wouldn't have seen the leg hair of a blue-eyed toad unless they were lucky, assuming it had hair.

To find prey, you have to go into less visited areas to have the best chance of finding a blue-eyed toad.

However, unknown areas mean danger! And the danger here refers to the possibility of losing your life.

The terrain of the fog swamp is very strange and complex, it is not a wetland, nor can it be said to be a complete swamp.

The terrain is flat and grows with extremely lush reeds, reaching the thighs of an adult.

At a glance, these reed meadows in sight were no different, at least in the eyes of Lin Chenxing at this time.

"Brother Lin, observe carefully, the places where those reeds with yellowed bottom leaves grow are generally black mud edicts, although our martial artists will not be unable to come out if they fall into it, but if they encounter other situations, it will be difficult to say."

During the journey, He Kuan has been a very competent guide, constantly introducing Lin Chenxing to some of the skills and experiences necessary to survive in the fog swamp.

"Hmm...... So here, here, and that are all places where the Black Mud Edict is located? ”

Hearing this, Lin Chenxing carefully observed the surroundings, and then pointed to a few places to ask He Kuan for verification.

"Well, Brother Lin's eyesight is really good, I didn't recognize it so quickly when I followed my cousin here."

He Kuan smiled and complimented, and then continued: "However, Brother Lin, you still missed two places, look over there..... There are also three steps to your left. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Chenxing looked at it according to his words, and he didn't see anything different at first, but after careful identification, he found that in the two places He Kuan said, there were indeed a small number of yellow spots on the bottom leaves of the reeds, but it was not obvious. If you don't look closely, it's hard to notice.

"It should be a black mud edict that has just been formed, the depth is not enough, at most it can reach our waist, there will be no danger if you simply fall into it, and it is easy to break free with our strength. However, if the time is bad and you happen to encounter a fierce beast, then ......"

He Kuan didn't continue, but Lin Chenxing was not stupid, so he naturally understood what he meant.

In battle, movement is extremely important, especially in the battle against fierce beasts.

Under normal circumstances, the physical strength of human warriors is definitely not as good as that of high-level fierce beasts, and the reason why they can compete with them is because of human martial arts and weapons.

If you are trapped in the black mud edict, your body movement is restricted, and you are forced to be tough with fierce beasts, then the fate of human warriors is basically ...... Miserable and miserable!

Therefore, the Black Mud Edict is not deadly, but it is likely to be the first step towards death for the warrior.

Along the way, Lin Chenxing quickly absorbed the knowledge and experience of survival in the wild, and was transforming from a rookie to an old bird.

He does not lack theoretical knowledge, what he lacks is the verification of experience and practice.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, He Nan, the captain who was the leader, let out a low shout, and then the big sword in his hand took his turn.

"Smack!"

The broad blade of the sword struck a large black shadow of a fist, like a lump of mud.

"Not good, black leech!" When He Kuan, who was at the back of the team, saw this scene, his face suddenly turned ugly.

At the same time, He Nan, who had already solved the sneak attacker, did not withdraw the big sword, but stopped the big sword in front of him, with a solemn expression.

Similarly, Yu Huo and Liu Siniang are also armed with weapons, as if they are facing a great enemy.

"Black leeches?" Lin Chenxing was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he guessed something in an instant.

I only heard He Kuan explain: "This is a species unique to the fog swamp, and it is said that it was originally just an ordinary leech, but it has mutated and multiplied here. The strength is not strong, barely able to be counted as the early stage of the first order, but ......"

"It's a terrible number!" Lin Chenxing picked up He Kuan's words, although it was a guess, but he was almost 100% sure.

Black leeches, he hadn't heard of them before, but he was no stranger to leeches. That thing never appeared in front of people alone.

"Not bad!"

"Boom!"

Drawing his sword in hand, Lin Chenxing quickly formed a simple defensive circle with the other four people.

It's a long story, but it's actually just a few breaths, and when a few people just formed a defensive circle, suddenly, as if something existent had issued an order, a group of black soft beasts the size of a fist in the reeds around them roared around the five people like a swarm of bees that had been cleared.

"Don't let them get close, it's poisonous!"

He Kuan only had one last reminder, and he had to devote himself to the battle.

The toxicity of the black leech is very special, it is not fatal, it will not make people weak or anything, it only has one effect, to prevent blood from clotting!

Under the influence of this toxin, once an injury occurs in battle, it will continue to bleed and be difficult to deal with, even if it is not bandaged.

A wound may be nothing, but if you count the huge number of black leeches, it is a nightmare for low-level martial artists.

Therefore, the best way to encounter a black leech is to quickly kill a way out, and then quickly get out of the fight.

Otherwise, they wait to be besieged, and then hundreds of small wounds will bleed endlessly, and finally they will be consumed alive.

These Lin Chenxing naturally didn't know that this lowest-level fierce beast with obvious regional characteristics was not included in the relevant books of the Zangwu Pavilion of the Qingyang Martial Academy. At this time, he only knew that he would make sure that he would survive before anything else.

The strength of the black leech is not worth mentioning, and the attack method is extremely simple, and it must be adsorbed to the surface of the human body before it can attack, so it is not difficult for everyone to defend.

The captain He Nan's big sword is unusually generous, and at this time he completely treats this big sword as a fly swatter, and he really thinks that he is swatting flies.

Yu Huo, Liu Sanniang, and He Kuan all used dexterous long swords, and although they couldn't do it as easily as He Nan swatting flies, they were all at ease.

As for Lin Chenxing, it would be easier!

The swordsmanship is fast, accurate, and steady, and he already has a certain amount of heat, and it can be said that it is easy to deal with the situation in front of him.

But the strange thing is that the faces of several people did not show any relaxation.

Since it was the captain He Nan, he didn't care about the black leeches that spewed out of him like arrows, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the reeds and grass in front of him.
