Since many people in the caravan died, some warriors also went to help carry supplies, so the speed accelerated a lot along the way.
The frequency of the three guides leading the warriors to explore the road ahead became more and more frequent.
"It's right in front, it should be there soon!"
Under the leadership of the guide, the caravan walked left and right in the forest. Half an hour later, they saw an open space.
On it, green and black weeds grew thickly.
"finally reached……"
Looking at the clearing, the three guides, Captain Ding, and Manager Wu all had smiles on their faces.
Then he immediately announced that the caravan would rest here for the night.
"We call this kind of place a safe place to stay for the night." Xu Tu explained, "For some reason, the creatures in the Blue and Black Forest rarely invade this open space with green and black weeds, so most of the people who enter the forest People would choose to rest in this kind of place.”
Finally, he added another sentence.
"Of course, if there is no guide to help lead the way, most people may have to try their luck to find such a safe place."
Is there such a thing?
Lu Yun glanced at the green and black weeds with some surprise, but he could not recognize the origin of these weeds. Even the "Vientiane Martial Code" did not say much about it.
"Is it confirmed that this weed is the cause?"
"It's impossible to confirm." Xu Tu shook his head and said, "We can only rely on speculation, but it is indeed much safer to spend the night in this kind of open space."
"In fact, some people thought there was something underground and tried digging, but found nothing. They also tried transplanting this green and black weed, but once this weed was pulled up from the ground, it would quickly wither." Captain Ding came over and smiled.
"Are there many open spaces like this? Before we set off, several caravans entered the Green and Black Forest before us. Why didn't we meet them?" Lu Yun asked again.
The Blue and Black Forest is so big, there are not many places like this. Whether you can meet humans safely depends on luck. Xu Tu said with a relaxed look on his face, "But it seems we were lucky and didn't encounter other caravans." "
Meeting other caravans in a place like this might not be a good thing.
However, the voices of the three people were quickly interrupted by the noise and confusion of the caravan that had just set up camp.
Something seems to have happened there.
Lu Yun and the other three looked at each other in confusion, but they did not rush over without knowing what was going on, but walked slowly towards the place where the chaos was coming from.
The camp was not big, and the few remaining warriors adopted the same strategy as Lu Yun and others.
Soon they saw a sparse crowd surrounding a man in black attire, about thirty years old.
He was looking at his stomach with a blank look on his face. His stomach was rapidly drying up as if something had been put into it.
Lu Yun's eyes showed surprise and vigilance. Is this person cursed?
Captain Ding, Manager Wu and others have also rushed over.
No one laughed out loud, just looked at the man warily.
"Dou Xiong." Captain Ding called out softly to the man who seemed to be seriously ill.
Dou Xiong finally came to his senses slightly in confusion. His eyes showed panic and he said: "Captain, save me."
"Calm down first." Captain Ding waved his hand to tell those who were too close to Dou Xiong to step back.
"What's going on with you?" Captain Ding asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know." Dou Xiong still had a look of fear on his face, and he shook his head quickly, "I was helping with something just now, and then I felt a stomachache, and then my stomach slowly became dry."
Captain Ding took out two talismans from the bag and threw them to Dou Xiong, saying: "Put them on."
After Dou Xiong confirmed that these were talismans to prevent curses and would not harm his body, he quickly attached them to his body, but the two talismans did not react at all.
"No, captain!" Dou Xiong's voice was filled with tears.
Captain Ding frowned slightly when he saw this. He looked at the three guides: "Have you ever seen this kind of situation?"
The three guides all shook their heads.
The three guides had extremely rich life experience in the Green and Black Forest, but they knew nothing about Dou Xiong's situation. This made Captain Ding's face become solemn: "Dou Xiong, did you mess up on the way? Eat something?”
"No!" Dou Xiong said excitedly.
It's not his first time to the Blue and Black Forest, so how could he eat randomly?
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that the Blue and Black Forest is full of all kinds of weirdness, and the things inside should not be eaten without careful verification over and over again.
"On the way, apart from the 'Lin Shen See Deer' we met together with the caravan, did you find anything unusual?" Captain Ding asked again.
"Abnormal things? Abnormal..." Dou Xiong muttered to himself repeatedly.
Suddenly, he was excited.
"team leader!"
"You remembered!"
Dou Xiong said quickly: "Sound, I heard a burst of vague laughter. The sound was very scary, but I saw that none of you had any reaction, so I thought it was an illusion caused by being too tired!"
laughter?
A light flashed in Lu Yun's eyes. He took a step forward and said, "Is this laughter?"
After that, Lu Yun imitated the laughter of the Chaos Bone Sculpture.
"Yes! That's it! That's it! Did you hear it too?" Dou Xiong seemed particularly excited. He felt that he might be saved!
However, just after he said this, his face turned pale and he vomited a large mouthful of black blood.
Black blood spilled on the ground, and the people in the camp quickly took a few steps back, looking at Dou Xiong warily.
Dou Xiong wiped the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. The fear on his face deepened. He took a few steps forward and said, "It seems that other places have begun to shrink?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down on the ground, his clothes fell off his body, and his feet, arms, and torso all began to shrink.
It was as if all the flesh and blood had disappeared inexplicably, leaving only a skeleton wrapped in skin.
"Save, save..."
Every time Dou Xiong spoke a word, his face sank a little. When he could no longer speak, he lay on the ground, lifeless.
"Have you ever heard of this way of dying?" Manager Wu asked the three guides.
"I think it's either a curse or a poison." One of the three guides said.
"Who doesn't know this?" Manager Wu sneered, "What kind of curse or poison is causing the problem? If we don't know the specific problem, we can't prescribe the right medicine."
These words made everyone fall silent.
"Master Lu, did you hear that laughter just now?" The three guides had no choice but to look at Lu Yun and asked one of them.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him.
Lu Yun was silent for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."
