Chapter 67: The Misty Forest
In the early morning, everyone was divided into groups to investigate the clues of this mission.
The situation in the castle, as the servant said, the Schumacher family did not interrogate or block Chen Mo and his party.
The castle of the Schumacher family is different from the castle in Chen Mo's impression.
It is more like a small town in the Middle Ages, with high walls divided into the rear quarters of the family nucleus and the outskirts of the attached people.
The entire castle has a permanent population of only about two or three thousand.
Fewer than 200 of them, wearing the Schumacher family insignia, roamed the walls, streets and exclusive training grounds in small teams.
Besides.
There are also a large number of outsiders known as adventurers, who wander the vast and dangerous areas all year round, bringing their prey and luxury goods to the markets of various castles to sell, which is also one of the main sources of income in the castles.
The bluestone floors of the streets, which look like they are covered in a layer of oil, are full of filth and dirt, rats and cockroaches, and almost swarms around the corners.
In such an environment, Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and continued to walk forward.
"Woo."
A little girl cried and asked her mother to carry herself, and her mother said sharply: "If you don't obey again, the ghost fog will come to arrest you at night!" ”
When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she stopped crying.
Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile, and soon came to the gate of the castle where a team of guards was stationed.
"The Misty World."
Chen Mo remembered that the name of this world was mentioned in the light brain data chip prompt.
And when he stood in front of the castle gate and saw the distance, he couldn't help but mutter.
The surrounding area outside the castle is a field of wheat where farmers work intensively and the warm sun shines on the wheat field.
As far as the eye can see, it is warm and dry, people come and go, birds sing and flowers are fragrant.
Except that the standard of living of the people seems to be roughly equivalent to that of Europe in the fifteenth century, it seems that there is not much difference from the earth's environment.
However!
When Chen Mo's field of vision looked farther away, about five kilometers away from the outer area of the castle, he saw a wall of fog visible to the naked eye, soaring into the sky, and appeared in his field of vision.
Living in the confines of Schumacher Castle at the moment is like living in an eye of the wind, and there is a feeling of sitting in a well and watching the sky.
The white mist seems to divide the place into two parts.
One part is the living area centered on the castle, where people live and work in peace, farming, animal husbandry, and hunting, and the other part is the world outside in the fog, full of humidity and unknown.
The so-called castle is like an island in the sea, a rare haven of tranquility in a dangerous environment.
"Is it shrouded in fog all year round?"
Chen Mo, who was standing in front of the gate of the castle, instinctively asked the guards next to him.
"Huh!?"
This guard, wearing a suit of animal skin light armor and wearing a badge symbolizing the Schumacher family on his chest, suddenly showed a look of great astonishment after hearing Chen Mo's inquiry.
He looked at Chen Mo like a fool.
At this time, the captain of the guard squad next to him came over and took the initiative to respond: "Yes sir, it is shrouded in fog all year round, and it is full of all kinds of poisonous insects and dangerous creatures, if you go in, you must be careful." ”
Seeing Chen Mo's thoughtful expression, the guard squad leader continued: "Actually, it's not so much that it is shrouded in fog all year round, but that we are protected by the gods here, so we are not shrouded in fog. ”
"Is that so?"
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask, "What did you just say that the mist is full of all kinds of poisonous insects and dangerous creatures?" ”
When the captain of the guard squad heard this, he showed a solemn expression.
"Poisonous insects are almost everywhere, as for those dangerous creatures, also known as demonic beasts, or alien beasts, it is said that they are mutated monsters formed after being polluted by those powerful poisoners, with strange appearances, and the number of outer fog is relatively scarce, their flesh and blood have anti-poison properties, and they can refine anti-poison potions from pharmacists, and many powerful adventurer squads make a living by hunting these magical beasts."
Poisoner, Warcraft.
Compared with these deep-seated clues, Chen Mo paid more attention to poisonous insects at this time, which should be the grassroots ecological law of the misty world, and it also reminded him of the poisonous tongue of Doctor Terror during the trial of the starving ghost.
If it's so dangerous, you really have to guard against it.
"If it is a mission in this world, according to Nightingale's speculation, there is a so-called unknown danger, and it is probably the strange ecological environment here."
Thankfully, though.
For general poisonous insects or highly poisonous skills, high defense physique and extracorporeal energy shield will be their nemesis.
Coincidentally!
Chen Mo met both of these conditions.
But for the sake of caution, he couldn't help but continue to ask, "What do you mean by the anti-poison attribute just now?" ”
When the captain of the guard team heard this, he responded: "In addition to the innate survival resistance of the body, in order to better adapt to the dangerous environment in the mist, we will hunt the magical beasts in the mist, or collect some special plants, and refine the anti-poison potion through the pharmacist, so as to obtain stronger anti-poison attributes." Only then will we be able to try to make our way through the fog to other castles, or to the City of Glory. ”
It seems that the same as the concentration, the anti-poison attribute in the other party's mouth will not be displayed by the light brain data chip in the form of panel attributes, which is a hidden attribute.
Chen Mo looked at the weapon in the soldier's hand, which was a spear with a blade tip sealed with wax.
He was keenly aware of the poison of this weapon, which was sealed in wax oil, and it seemed that in this world, the two attributes of anti-poison and highly poisonous had formed a competitive relationship.
And everything behind this is likely to have a close relationship with the poisoner in his mouth.
Suddenly.
I saw Chen Mo stretch out his palm and take the initiative to rub it on the spearhead of this guard squad leader.
"Ahh
The captain of the guard squad suddenly exclaimed, "You are crazy! ”
This is a natural disaster person who has been explained by Young Master Laqi himself, and if he dies here, he will probably have a sad life in the future.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a knife and tried to perform bloodletting therapy to treat Chen Mo.
The so-called bloodletting therapy is a treatment method developed by people in the misty world in order to deal with the ubiquitous poisonous insects, the principle of which is to release a part of the blood mixed with highly toxic blood and expel it from the body, so as to dilute the intensity and duration of the poison, and the treatment effect varies from person to person.
The other side.
Chen Mo did this, naturally not asking for trouble, but wanting to test his ability to survive in this world in advance.
Hint: You take Acute Toxin damage for 15 points per second for 10 seconds.
Hint: -1 for your Qi and Blood.
Hint: -1 for your Qi and Blood.
Hint: Your high Constitution Defense is already automatically immune to acute toxin damage.
Sure enough, it was the same as Chen Mo guessed.
Under his constitution of up to 26 points of defense at the moment, he was already basically immune to low-level acute toxin damage, and even if that Doctor Terror was resurrected, his poisonous tongue attack skill, Chen Mo could already basically ignore it.
This kind of acute toxin attack is obviously a powerful weapon for the strong to kill the weak, but if it is against the strong, it can almost be ignored by the other side.
Seeing that the guard squad leader took out a knife and was about to bleed his wounds, Chen Mo hurriedly signaled, "I'm fine." ”
When the team leader heard this, he stopped moving.
After he saw that Chen Mo could almost be said to have no effect, the surrounding guards couldn't help but be surprised, and they all marveled at Chen Mo's anti-poison attributes.
This is undoubtedly an outstanding existence among adventurers.
Seeing this, the captain of the guard squad slowly put away the knife, looked at Chen Mo and said with an unhappy face: "Then you shouldn't use this way to harm yourself, the poison of the Schumacher family is not for nothing!" ”
"I'm sorry."
After Chen Mo expressed his apology, he explained: "It's just that because of the task assigned by Young Master Laqi, I must have a basic understanding of my own strength, can such an anti-poison attribute survive in the fog?" ”
When the captain of the guard squad heard this, he said lightly: "Of course you can, but don't forget to bring sulfur powder, the misty forest at night and the misty forest during the day are two different worlds." ”
Leaving the castle, Chen Mo walked forward for a few kilometers and finally came to the edge of the "Fog Wall".
To say it's a wall of fog is not wrong at all.
More than a dozen meters away, the sun was still shining, but here, it was already very humid, and the visibility was rapidly reduced, like two different worlds.
These strange fogs, like ghosts with self-awareness, flowed past Chen Mo.
As Chen Mo continued to go deeper, the visibility in front of him was even less than ten meters.
Surrounded by towering giant trees, growing in all sorts of strange shapes, their branches often covered with vines, the plants here have adapted to this gloomy environment, and from time to time there are strange birdsong that accentuate the eerie silence of the forest.
This silence is not lifeless.
It is as if the environment here is consciously, through the intertwined connection with each other, devouring the interference of sound, so that all kinds of poisonous insects here can thrive quietly.
Chen Mo raised his palm.
The surrounding fog, with the movement of Chen Mo's palm, seemed to flow water in front of him, forming the form of waves and whirlpools.
These fogs, as if they were a special natural energy, are full of magic.
Hint: You take Acute Toxin damage for 8 points per second for 5 seconds.
Hint: -1 for your Qi and Blood.
Just when Chen Mo was observing the fog, almost unconsciously, the brain data chip showed that he had suffered an acute toxin injury.
However, his strong physical defense naturally immunized against this toxin.
But the other party was able to complete the toxin attack without him noticing, but he was really surprised, and after careful searching, he finally found that a poisonous insect in the form of a locust had unknowingly landed on his collar.
You must know that since he walked into the misty forest, I am afraid that it has not even been a minute.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out a container and temporarily stored the poisonous insect as mission information to bring back.
The next is less than half an hour of exploration.
Even though Chen Mo was already very careful, he was still attacked by two poisonous insects.
During this period, he collected more than a dozen different kinds of poisonous insects, collected them one by one, and then returned to the Schumacher family castle with satisfaction.
