Objectively speaking, General Gao Yan in his normal form is still very useful.

In the previous day's hunting, he was able to keep up with Bai Xiao's rhythm and not fall behind, which is already commendable. In addition, he can also make some very valuable suggestions from time to time.

For example, avoid open areas, stay away from general water sources, etc...... These are all smart moves to take at the suggestion of Gao Yan. Bai Xiao also discovered later that in the Black Swamp, the open area always hides the most risks, because that means that no creatures can survive in this area. The general water source is a colony of poisonous insects and beasts, and outsiders cannot drink the swamp water at all.

He was at least much more familiar with this swamp than Bai Xiao, and even more so than the learned master of the biochemical domain of the original poem, and after he woke up, he could realize that Bai Xiao used the outer membrane of his internal organs to filter toxins, which proved that he had actually thought of this method.

"Nonsense, after all, I'm from the border county, how could I not know the most sinister black swamp in the border county?" Gao Yan said, "What's more, I originally aspired to be a scholar, but when I was studying in the Brilliant Valley, I was a doctoral scholar who applied for the exam! In the border county, it was a precious title that was not inferior to the princes and nobles!"

Bai Xiao couldn't help asking, "Then why did you become a general in the end?"

Gao Yan was silent for a moment and sighed: "Creation makes people. ”

Bai Xiao suddenly understood: "Didn't get in?"

Gao Yan was furious: "Why don't you stop chatting, just shut up!"

Bai Xiao nodded and said no more. After all, he is really not interested in provoking the historical sores of a middle-aged ugly man.

On the other side, Gao Yan was indignant, you little rabbit cub, you flirt with people and then ignore them? What do you think of my dignified general Yushan Army!? Not to mention that I was a genuine erudite and talented back then, and when I applied for a doctorate, even my always strict tutor thought that he was nine out of ten, but ......

"I'm just in a bad state for a while. ”

Bai Xiao sighed and no longer paid attention to this general who was never in the state.

Where is Gao Yan willing to stop there: "Don't you believe it, then you come to test me, any knowledge about the border county is fine, if you can defeat me, even if I lose!"

Bai Xiao asked, "What's going on with the early awakening of the Beastmaster this time?"

“...... If I even knew this, I wouldn't be a doctorate, but a great prophet!"

"Oh, what's going on with the frequent sand beasts lately?"

"The matter is still under investigation, and it is initially suspected that it is also related to the awakening of the Beastmaster. ”

Bai Xiao waited for a while, confirmed that this was all the answers of the quasi-doctoral bachelor, and then sighed, the county doctoral scholar here in the heart of the county, it seems that the level is about the same as mine.

I, an outsider, can also feel the series of abnormalities in Bian County, and there must be the same reason behind it, so I want to follow this clue.

At this moment, in the distance of the swamp, there was a sudden sharp sound of plants breaking and cracking, as if a large area of woodland had been trampled by a giant beast, and then a blood-red spore mist rose into the air, staining half of the sky red.

Bai Xiao did not hesitate, and immediately sprinted in the direction of the mutation!

"You...... Forget it" Gao Yan wanted to persuade, but after thinking about it, he followed closely.

This swamp is definitely a very dangerous place even for a true doctor, and even the Demon Dao Master will not easily wade into danger. Correspondingly, almost every few years, there are so-called professionals who pride themselves on their skills and have the ambition to break into the swamp and die without bones.

There are many dreams at night, so it's better to fight quickly, since there is a change in the distance...... It's better to rush to the scene than to be slowly exhausted in the swamp!

Now, Gao Yan, a field expert, is not in a particularly bad state, and his strength is at least more than ninety percent, but a lot of supplies have been used...... Moreover, the previous spore infection made his body closer and closer to the limit, and he thought that he could hold on for at least a few more months, but now it seems that he can no longer delay.

And most crucially...... He couldn't just watch a teenage Red Mountain man rampant in the swamp and go forward, but he, a dignified border general, hesitated behind him!

"That kid, I don't know how terrifying this swamp is......"

——

Bai Xiao quickly comprehended another powerful aspect of the swamp.

He began to get lost.

Getting lost is inevitable in any complex geographical environment, and people mostly rely on vision to judge their own travel route, and vision is one of the senses that are most easily misled by the environment.

The swamp is so hostile to foreign creatures that it is full of misleading images that can lead to disorientation if you are not careful.

As a hunter in the snowy mountains, Bai Xiao is also a master who has experienced the test of complex environments, he can maintain his own trajectory very accurately, have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment, and always have an accurate three-dimensional map in his mind.

But the map is showing signs of malfunction in the swamps.

Because things change so fast around you!

Since crossing a certain line, the swamp has become more vicious!

Everything was moving, from tall trees to low shrubs, and their rhizomes were slowly wriggling!

The deeper you go into the swamp, the faster the scenery changes, and the three-dimensional map in your mind gradually turns into a mess as if it had been vigorously stirred.

If he moves along the ground, he will soon lose his direction, not to mention that even if he really knows the direction, according to the speed of environmental changes, when he rushes straight to the scene of the incident, he may have run to the scene of the incident!

And flying into the air is equally unfeasible.

Bai Xiao once tried to leap into the air, or climb along the tall trees to the commanding heights...... But the spore mist of this swamp greatly obscured the view, and it was obviously a swamp, but it was an unusually dense density of tall fungi and trees, supporting a dome that obscured the view, and this dome was constantly changing. Looking down from above, the swamp looks like a pot of boiling poisonous porridge, with various colors stirring in the porridge pot.

After galloping for an hour, Bai Xiao stopped suddenly.

"Tsk, trouble. ”

The landscape around him was finally completely out of his control, and he tried several times to build a road map in his mind, but all of them ended in failure, in other words......

He finally got lost.

Looking around, looking at the ever-changing scenery, Bai Xiao could hardly even tell where the loud noise had occurred before.

...... This result cannot be said to be completely unexpected, in fact, it is precisely because he is worried that he will have many dreams at night, so Bai Xiao will choose to go all out and rush to the scene in a straight line, but unfortunately he can't catch up in the end.

At this time, there was a rapid gasp behind him, Gao Yan staggered over with a pale face, and said intermittently: "Morning, I told you earlier, don't, run so fast...... It's useless. ”

Bai Xiao was also helpless at this time, so he could only ask, "What do you suggest?"

Gao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to a big tree next to him that was walking slowly: "Follow it." ”

After a pause, Gao Yan explained, "That tree is a hunter in the swamp and a scavenger...... It is a native creature that is familiar with the laws of the swamp and will take us to the scene of the hunt. ”

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, and fed back Gao Yan's analysis to the original poem in the dark forest.

The original poem held the third magic book and showed a sudden expression: "I see! This makes sense! I can't imagine that the old guy is really not a pure funny character! Bai Xiao, you can do what he suggests, but be sure to give me feedback as soon as you hear and see!"

With the guarantee of the original poem, Bai Xiao followed Gao Yan's suggestion and followed closely behind a walking tree.

The tree was thirty meters tall, but it was of medium stature in the swamp, and it was slow to move...... But after following it for half a day, Bai Xiao found that this was indeed much more useful than rushing straight ahead.

The tree's path was meandering, but as you went, the scenery soon changed from what it had been before, and the strange color tones of the marsh were gradually replaced by a neat gray gloom.

The giant trees and giant fungi around became denser and denser, and the canopy of the trees covered the sky and the sun, making Bai Xiao feel as if he had come to a dark forest in reality.

In addition, the smell of blood, death, and decay can be faintly smelled in the air.

"It's not far off. ”

Gao Yan followed behind Bai Xiao and also made a judgment.

The general narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the grass and trees around him: "The breath of death is very strong, and the place where the mutation occurred should be near here." ”

After a pause, Gao Yan said again: "However, I'm afraid that we will have to rely on ourselves next, and this tree no longer dares to move forward." ”

By this time, the tree they had been following had stopped migrating and had dug its roots deep into the soil. Soon, Bai Xiao could vaguely see that purple-red liquid was constantly pouring into the branches from the ground along the roots and veins, making the already somewhat dry tree quickly become leafy.

But as soon as it had absorbed enough nutrients, the tree pulled out its roots and began to migrate again.

"The scavenging plants in the swamp generally only dare to go so far. Gao Yan said, "The next step is for us to explore on our own...... With such a close distance, do you smell anything in your nose?"

Bai Xiao did smell something.

In the depths of the swamp, he smelled the spiritual breath again.

On the outskirts of the swamp, the death scene of the Gray Leaf Valley expedition left a total of two spiritual breaths, one of which belonged to the dead corrupt cheetah, and the other permeated here, hiding in the depths of the swamp.

"I'll give it a try. ”

Bai Xiao wrinkled his nose and gradually deepened in the direction of the smell.

And just as he was about to take a step, the soil under his feet cracked, and a mountain-like giant beast burst out of the ground, opening its bloody mouth to swallow Bai Xiao into it!
