Chapter 81: Farraen
Mu Chen has no flying skills, no flying mounts, and no companions who can lend a helping hand in times of crisis.
In such a place, everything can only be done on his own.
Fortunately, Mu Chen also has the Blink Ring, and its equipment skill [Flicker] is a very good skill.
He vaguely remembered that the NPC who lived in seclusion in the muddy jungle lived in a small cabin deep in the swamp, probably where he was now.... West.
A map of the Muddy Jungle, only available at the Dawn City grocery store.
Mu Chen can't go, there is no map of the muddy jungle, and when he comes here, his map is pitch black, but he has no choice but to move forward in the dark.
He remembered that the NPC was in a cabin deep in the swamp, where there was a bone graveyard, which was very conspicuous and should be easy to find.
After Mu Chen found the right direction, he walked forward cautiously.
It's all swampy here, so you have to be careful.
As he walked as he thought about it, he suddenly felt a stagnation in his steps, and when he looked down, he saw that his left foot was deep in the rotten ground beneath his feet.
"Damn, I'm stuck in the swamp."
When I came to Area Three, it was only half a minute, and I fell into a swamp, which is too unlucky.
He wondered if he was secretly being watched by the god of doom.
Stuck in the swamp, Mu Chen still has idle thoughts.
Suddenly, a powerful attraction in the swamp grabbed Mu Chen, intending to sink him into it.
Mu Chen stopped thinking nonsense, he tried to see if he could pull his left foot out of the swamp, but he fell deeper and deeper, and in a moment, the lower half of his body had fallen into the swamp, unable to extricate himself.
Mu Chen did not hesitate, and immediately activated the equipment skill of the Blink Ring.
In a few flickers, he was removed from the place.
"Whew! It's dangerous. If I didn't have the Ring of Twinkle, I'm afraid I'd have died here. Mu Chen came to a safe place and looked back.
Seeing that the swamp that had tried to kill him just now was no different from the rest of the muddy jungle, at least Mu Chen couldn't see any difference.
Area Three is the most dangerous place in the Muddy Jungle.
The danger here is not visible.
With that, Mu Chen turned around and stepped into the swamp again, sinking into it.
Mu Chen: ....
He didn't know what to say, or if he was unlucky, or if there were so many swamps in Area Three.
Simply, Mu Chen didn't care.
Find a direction and use the equipment skill [Flash] continuously to rush at a fast speed.
In this way, it doesn't matter what swamp he doesn't marsh.
As long as you teleport fast enough, you don't have to be afraid of anything.
Fifteen or sixteen minutes passed like this.
Mu Chen, who was teleporting at high speed, saw a white skeleton hanging on a dead tree, and he immediately stopped teleporting.
The skeleton hanging from the tree is a human bone.
The human skeleton's hands were tied to the branches of the dead trees with iron shackles, and his feet were also imprisoned by iron shackles, and there were lead balls the size of a human head hanging on them, which fell down with all his might.
Doubled alive.
There were no external injuries on the bones.
He should have been starved to death, or tortured to death.
Nearby, there is not only this tortured human skeleton, every few steps deeper, you can see human bones hanging from dead trees, like tombstones.
Seeing this, Mu Chen was not only not afraid, but also showed a smile.
It seems that he has found the right place, and the NPC who lives in the muddy jungle is not far ahead!
Mu Chen immediately walked forward quickly.
Unexpectedly, the next moment he stepped into the swamp again and sank into it.
Mu Chen: ....
Using the flickering skill to get out of danger, Mu Chen came to a small cabin deep in the swamp.
The hut was built on a huge dead tree, a huge tree with six adults holding hands in hand, and its thick rhizomes.
It's a log cabin, but it's best to call it a treehouse.
The wooden hut is made of dead wood, which appears to have been built from local materials, four or five meters above the ground, and a rope ladder is hung from the treehouse.
There are traces of life everywhere around here.
The vicinity of the treehouse is also where the most human bone tombstones are located.
It can be seen that the NPC who lives here is not very good-tempered, and there may be some psychopaths, and he is a ruthless character.
But Mu Chen didn't feel scared, but shouted loudly: "Is there anyone? β
There was no movement.
Mu Chen shouted again, and this time a hoarse male voice came from inside the tree house: "You... Who is it... Who is it? β
The NPCs inside the treehouse don't seem to have spoken to anyone in a long time.
Speech is choppy and upside down.
Mu Chen said: "I am an adventurer who came to the mud jungle to mine, I accidentally got lost, strayed into here, saw that there is a tree house here, and came to ask for help." β
"Adventurers... Good... You come up... Map I have... You follow the map to go... I can go out. Inside the treehouse, the man stammered.
"It's better for you to come out, I won't go in."
Mu Chen glanced vaguely around the treehouse, which was unremarkable but had hidden murderous intentions.
He could sense the murderous intent hidden near the dead roots under the treehouse, and the malicious intent coming from inside the treehouse.
When Mu Chen finished saying this, there was silence in the treehouse.
After a while, the man in the treehouse asked again, "You're really not coming in?" β
Mu Chen smiled and said, "Your wooden house is too small to accommodate me." β
"Huh." The man inside the treehouse sneered a few times, and the next moment, the door of the treehouse was opened from the inside, and a man in his forties wearing a gray robe and a full beard walked out.
He was dressed in a robe, covered in dirt and patches, and looked like he had been wearing it for a long time.
Equipped with the Eye of Omniscience, Muchen can read hidden information about players, monsters, and NPCs.
At the first glance of this man, Mu Chen used his omniscient eye to read his hidden information.
γFarahγ
Rating: 51
Class: Earth Mage
Identity: Former squadron leader of the Fifth Mage Regiment in Dawn City, now defected.
Personality: Cruel, suspicious, cunning.
"You said you were an adventurer who came to mine, and your mining tools and ore were taken out to show me."
Farraen's eyes stared sharply at Mu Chen, and he said word by word.
How could he stutter and talk like Mu Ne just now, which means that he pretended to be in order to lure Muchen closer.
Being able to survive in this swamp for so long proves that he has good means.
Naturally, he would set traps near his residence to prevent someone from sneaking up on him from sneaking up on the treehouse.
Confronted by Farah's questioning.
Mu Chen made a flustered expression and said, "I met a monster just now, and I accidentally lost all the ore and tools I found. β
"What monster did you encounter?" Farah asked.
"Rotting lizards." Mu Chen was silent for a while and replied.
