Rowing in a small boat, Zhang Ze and Miguel headed towards the dark wetland.
The geographical environment here is actually similar to that of the Amazon primeval rainforest, with a winding river extending deep into the rainforest.
The river is lined with lush vegetation on both sides, and you can't see the creatures hiding among them, but they can see you.
Originally, Zhang Ze planned to let everyone take the Dark Dragon King directly to their destination, but when he saw that the sky above this primitive rain forest was filled with strange green mist, he gave up this idea.
"According to the map, the Dark Wetland is located at the end of the river. We will continue to move forward on the bank..." Miguel took out the map and showed it to everyone, so everyone's electronic map was loaded with the map of the Dark Wetland.
“The water in this river is so green!”
Zhang Feng looked at the river and said, "It feels like there is a layer of green paint floating on the water..."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to stir up the river water.
Suddenly, an arm stretched out from the river and grabbed Zhang Feng's wrist!
"Ah! What is it?" Zhang Feng screamed in fright.
Zhang Ze next to him had quick eyes and quick hands. A red light flashed across, and the [Blood Dragon] had cut off the arm!
However, the broken arm was still holding on to Zhang Feng's wrist, and the Dragon King stepped forward to help her break off the broken arm. Only then did everyone realize that this was not a human arm.
"There are scales on it, could it be a fish-man?"
The little bird makes a guess.
Yiye Zhiqiu nodded: "It is very possible that there are many kinds of fishmen, and they are widely distributed, not only in the sea, but also in the river."
Without emotion, he looked at the severed arm with a dagger and analyzed: "Judging from the length of this arm, its owner is not tall, probably less than one meter, but the nails on the claws are very sharp, so it should be able to It’s easy to tear our flesh apart, so be careful.”
Little Princess Qian looked nervously at the surrounding river water, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Do you think there will be many fish-men under this water?"
"The water is too turbid and you can't see anything, so it's hard to tell." The giant god shook his head slightly.
"We'd better be quiet. It's best to leave this water area as soon as possible. It will be safe when we get to the shore." Yiye Zhiqiu suggested.
So everyone stopped talking for fear of disturbing the underwater creatures. Only the two oars were paddling gently, sending the boat slowly forward.
Blah blah blah...
Liu Yueying suddenly heard the sound of gentle paddling coming from around her. She frowned and looked at everyone.
Others also heard it and turned to look at the surrounding water.
I saw hollow roots that were more than ten centimeters long and as thick as a pen barrel appearing all around, moving with the boat.
Now, any fool knows that there is something under the water!
But Zhang Ze was confused: "Can't fishmen breathe underwater? Do they still have to rely on these hollow roots?"
This question soon revealed its answer.
Wow!
Seven or eight black figures suddenly jumped up from the water, and stabbed everyone on the boat with the spears in their hands!
The giant god immediately released a defensive aura and blocked the shield in front of everyone.
The spear hit the shield and was deflected, and these black shadows fell into the water again, and the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing happened.
"Do you see clearly?"
Zhang Ze asked Liu Yueying.
"See clearly."
Liu Yueying nodded and said: "It doesn't look like a fish-man, it looks like some kind of humanoid creature!"
The melancholy of the sky asked Miguel: "Are you a witch?"
Miguel shook his head and said: "No, witch people live on land. These may be mutant fish people. They migrated from the water to survive on land and lost the ability to survive in the water."
"Looking at the way they attacked just now, I just remembered."
"What should we do now?" The giant god asked in a deep voice, looking at the hollow roots that were surrounding him again.
They are on the boat now, and these monsters are in the river and cannot be guarded against.
"It's best to fight them off, otherwise they will keep pestering us."
After listening to Miguel's words, Yiye Zhiqiu frowned and said: "But, they are in the water, and it is difficult for our attack to be effective."
Zhang Ze thought for a while and asked, "Do these mutated fishmen also use poison?"
"No, they won't." Miguel shook his head.
"Then leave it to me."
Zhang Ze thought, and Kelt appeared beside him: "Master, please call me."
"Put all your poison into this river and poison everything in it to death!" Zhang Ze ordered.
There are no humans living in this dark wetland at all, only various monsters, so Zhang Ze doesn't have to worry too much and can go ahead boldly.
Kelt immediately followed the instructions and threw all his poison into the water. Suddenly, the river water was dyed purple and spread rapidly to the surrounding areas.
Soon, the surrounding waters all turned purple.
Then, an amazing scene happened.
First, the calm water began to boil, as if hot water was being boiled.
Then, several corpses slowly floated up, it was those mutated fishmen.
There were more and more corpses. In just ten seconds, the corpses almost covered the entire body of water.
Some fishmen fled in a hurry, but as soon as they climbed onto the other side, they fell down and died from the poison.
Little Princess Money looked at the corpses floating on the water with some distress, and shouted: "Oh, I can't even get the rewards!"
The giant god suggested: "Let's row quickly now and reach our destination as soon as possible to avoid a long night and many dreams."
Afterwards, Zhang Ze, Giant God and Dragon King took turns rowing the boats and sailed towards the end of the river as fast as possible.
"Phew! Finally here!"
The boat docked and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
The giant god and the dragon king dragged the boat ashore and hid it. They would use it when they left here, so they couldn't abandon it.
Liu Yueying stood on the shore, staring into the depths of the jungle, not knowing what she was looking at.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiaoniaoyiren walked over and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I always feel like something is watching us." Liu Yueying shook her head slightly and said, "Maybe it's my imagination."
Miguel looked solemn and reminded: "There is a dark wetland ahead. It is best for everyone to cover their mouths and noses to prevent poisoning from inhaling miasma."
Everyone covered their mouths and noses and walked cautiously deeper into the jungle.
After walking about a few hundred meters, the green mist around them began to get thicker and thicker. Everyone knew that this was miasma, and they all became more vigilant.
These miasma are pervasive. Even if you cover your mouth and nose, they will seep into the skin through the pores, so everyone can see the system's constant prompts: "You have been poisoned, please take the antidote."
Antidote potions can only guarantee that you will no longer be poisoned within 60 seconds, but there is still a long way to go, at least a few hours of walking, and the toxin damage is not high, so no one drank the antidote potions later because there was no need. , is a pure waste.
The damage of toxins is low, causing dozens of poison damage per second. Based on everyone's current blood volume, it can last for more than five hours.
However, for the sake of safety, when the blood volume drops to about 60%, everyone will drink blood replenishing medicine to restore the blood volume in case a monster suddenly attacks. By then it will be too late to drink medicine.
Zhang Ze noticed that Liu Yueying kept looking at the surrounding forests as she was walking. He followed suit and found several black shadows flashing through the woods at extremely fast speeds, making it difficult for ordinary people to spot them.
"There are monsters."
Zhang Ze walked to Liu Yueying, who nodded: "Did you notice it too? Could these monsters be witches?"
"I don't know." Zhang Ze shook his head, and Liu Yueying asked, "Do you want to take action?"
Zhang Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, so it is difficult to fight... Let me remind everyone first."
Opening the team channel, Zhang Ze told everyone what he and Liu Yueying had discovered.
[Rakshasa]: The opponent hasn’t taken action against us yet, so please keep quiet and be ready to fight at any time.
[Giant God]: Girls, come to me, others should be alert.
The group of people moved forward cautiously, and they could feel that there were more and more dark shadows in the jungle on both sides.
However, the opponent never launched an attack, so Zhang Ze and others decided to hold their troops for the time being.
"Ahead is the Wu Gu people's camp." Miguel looked at the map, pointed to a camp hidden in the woods ahead and said: "You guys wait outside first, I will go in and negotiate with the Wu Gu people's chief to see if we can Use peaceful means to take away the [Terra Orb]."
In the team channel.
[Little Bird Yiren]: Based on my many years of gaming experience, I bet that Miguel will definitely not succeed in this negotiation! In the end, we still have to fight against the witches!
[Irritable Dragon King]: Really? Then what time is wasting, we can just call in!
[Giant God]: Don’t mess around.
[Use the knife but not emotion]: If it were a game, Miguel going to negotiate would be a cutscene. This step cannot be omitted. We should just wait for the plot to develop.
…
When everyone came outside the camp, they saw many wooden poles erected outside the camp, with dried corpses hanging on them, as if to warn outsiders not to step into their camp.
Miguel nodded to Zhang Ze and others, and then walked towards the camp alone. Two witches with patterns painted on their bodies, who looked like primitive people, opened the gate of the camp and pulled him in. Then the gate of the camp was closed.
"Hey, how long do we have to wait?"
Moonlight Bunny sat on a stone next to him and asked boredly: "I don't know what's going on inside now?"
"Who knows, we can only wait." Zhang Feng also sat down next to her. Suddenly she remembered something and laughed softly: "Xiaotu, I have a way to know what's going on inside, but you have to help me. Take care of yourself.”
"What do you mean?" Moonlight Rabbit was confused. After Zhang Feng's explanation, she finally understood and said with a smile, "Okay, go in and have a look, and then tell me!"
Zhang Feng nodded, then looked around. She found a beetle on the ground and used [Soul Transfer] on it.
"Haha, I turned into a Beetle!"
Zhang Feng felt very strange as she saw everything around her become hundreds of times larger. However, she did not forget her purpose and quickly climbed towards the camp.
Passing through the gap in the wooden fence, Zhang Feng looked around. The scene here was like that of a primitive tribe in Africa. Houses made of wood, roofs covered with tattered straw mats, and witches wearing animal clothes and grass skirts walked around, saying speaking a language she didn't understand.
"The place where they negotiated should be in the chief's house, but where is the house?"
Zhang Feng looked around while climbing. She felt that since she was a chief, the house must be the largest in the camp.
Sure enough, she saw a building that was larger than the other houses and more "gorgeous" in decoration, so she quickly climbed over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she climbed to the door, she heard Miguel's shout from inside: "Chief, if you kill me, this world will be destroyed!"
Afterwards, seven or eight witches dragged Miguel, who was trapped into a rice dumpling, out of the house. Their chief followed behind, wearing a "crown" made of colorful feathers on his head, shouting loudly, as if to Shouting: "Tug him away quickly!"
"Oops! Something happened to Miguel!"
Zhang Feng's heart sank, and she hurriedly followed those witches. She wanted to see where Miguel was being taken.
It turned out that Miguel was carried directly to the center of the camp, where a huge wooden stake was erected. The voodoo man tied Miguel tightly to it, and then someone piled firewood at his feet.
Apparently, they planned to roast Miguel!
Upon seeing this, Zhang Feng immediately released the spell and his soul returned to his body.
"Brother! Brother Titan! Miguel is going to be burned to death!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing this. Zhang Ze frowned and asked, "How do you know?"
"Have you forgotten? The new function added to my talent skill is [soul transfer]. I just transferred my soul to the beetle. I sneaked into the camp quietly and saw Miguel being dragged out of the chief's house and tied to On the stake, they are preparing to burn him to death! Let’s go and save him!”
Miguel is everyone's most important clue in this demonic world. Whether he can successfully pass the level has a lot to do with him, and he must not die.
"Let's do it!" The Dragon King excitedly raised the iron rod and said to the little bird next to him: "You are really right, this battle must be fought!"
"Hmph, we have gathered ten brave men now. According to Miguel, we can defeat the God of Destruction!" Xiaoniaoyiren said with great pride: "Dealing with a primitive tribe is no problem!"
The giant god nodded: "Okay, I'll rush in front first, and everyone will follow me."
Everyone responded in unison, adjusted their status, and followed the giant god to launch an attack on the Wu Gu people's camp!
The Wugu guard discovered the situation and immediately shouted a warning, but was shot by Zhang Ze with an arrow. However, the alarm had been issued, and the Wugu people in the entire camp took action to prepare to protect their home.
Bang!
The giant god slammed his shield against the huge wooden door of the camp. The wooden door suddenly lost 20% of its health. Others swarmed towards the wooden door with various weapons. In just a few seconds, the wooden door was destroyed.
But before everyone could rush in, countless poisonous stings were fired at them!
It’s so densely packed that there’s no way to avoid it!
The giant god blocked most of them with his shield, but some of them hit the Dragon King, Liu Yueying and others.
-2500! (poison)
Poison does very high damage, and also comes with various negative effects such as "paralysis", "slowness", and "dizziness".
The little princess Qian kept purifying everyone, and those who were poisoned drank medicine to detoxify themselves. However, there were too many poisonous stings shot from the opposite side, and it was difficult to prevent them.
Zhang Ze hid somewhere to observe the situation on the other side. It turned out that the witches used a special hollow wooden tube to blow out sharp poisonous stings at the target, similar to a blow dart.
"The firepower is very dense, I'm afraid it won't work." Zhang Ze thought to himself. At this time, Yiye Zhiqiu and Xuenu acted at the same time. Ice, wind, rain and ice cones hit the witches and Gu people on the ground at the same time. Many witches and Gu people were frozen, and others People were forced to retreat.
"They retreated, let's rush in and save them!"
The Dragon King chased after him with a stick, and the others followed, but before they could run far, balls the size of human heads were thrown towards them!
"What the hell?"
The Dragon King subconsciously swung his stick and hit one. Hearing a bang, the ball exploded, and it was filled with green gas, which instantly enveloped the Dragon King.
