The scavengers walked out of the mire. They wiped the mud off the long poles on the ground and put them in their backpacks.
"Boss, that kid seems to be coming out. Where can we hide?"
asked a scavenger with a crew cut.
Fu Yunsheng frowned and thought.
"Hills. Let brothers be alert and be ready to move and hide at any time."
After hearing the words, everyone started running and found a good position for themselves on the edge of the hill.
Soon Wang Chen also walked out of the quagmire. He scraped his legs with mud on the ground and walked towards the hillside.
Seeing this, the scavengers quickly got up and retreated quietly. They found several large rocks not far from the hills and hid them behind the rocks.
Wang Chen sat on the hilly slope, took off his dirty pants, took out a clean pair from the storage ring and put them on.
Then he walked up to the top of the hill and made a show of judging the direction.
He glanced at the rocks not far from the hill.
While secretly laughing in his heart, he also estimated the number of people following him based on the area where the rocks could be hidden.
After knowing it well, he returned to the littered pants, took out some useless debris and threw them away, and then threw the remains of the Dark Guardian not far away.
Then he headed in a direction to avoid the swamp.
The scavenger, who had been waiting for a moment, came out from behind the rocks and tiptoed to observe. Only when he saw Wang Chen's retreating figure did he dare to move near the hills.
"Is this what that boy threw away?" Xiao Pingtou picked up a pair of gloves, looked at them and tried them on for a while, "These are obviously still usable, but this boy is such a waste."
Bald Biao said: "Perhaps he gained a lot in the swamp? What objects were dropped? They need to be cleared away to make room for the objects behind."
"I always feel that it's not that simple. It's best not to touch these things." Fu Yunsheng said with his triangular eyes wrinkled.
The little flat head smiled and said: "Boss, it's not that bad. These clothes and supplies can still be used. Do you think it's okay if I wear these gloves?"
Other scavengers also picked up some things they could use and wore them without any abnormalities.
Fu Yunsheng had no choice but to turn around and said, "It's time to clean up. Let's continue chasing that kid."
The scavenger team is called this kind of team, which already explains their nature.
These people have no way to go back due to various crimes they have committed in human society or some hidden secrets.
There will be some people who do not have any serious crimes, or innocent people who have interests in exchange with them, who will regularly deliver necessary supplies to them from the city.
However, we are still stretched thin in many aspects, and there are not always fat sheep that can be robbed.
As in all places where supplies are scarce.
They value everything that is available.
Grab these items which are all of decent quality.
Maybe I can replace the half-sleeve I have worn for two or three months without washing.
They collected it quickly.
What they didn't notice was that when they picked up the clothes, some colorless and odorless powder spilled and stuck to their bodies.
"What is this? It looks like a sculpture."
A scavenger discovered the remains of the Dark Guardian.
"Yes, but it's broken into pieces. Maybe it's an ancient piece that the boy picked up. Maybe it's worth selling to those collectors?"
Xiao Pingtou said.
"Well, the price of the damaged ones will definitely drop, but if you don't pick them up, you won't pick them up."
The scavenger said this and stretched out his hand to reach for the remains.
"呲——"
The debris suddenly emitted some gas. The scavenger was surprised when the debris in front of him suddenly exploded!
The smelly liquid splashed all over him!
"Ah - what is this!"
There was no lethality after the rocks exploded, but the pungent smell made the scavengers confused.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yunsheng heard the noise and walked quickly, "Sure enough, something happened? Is it serious?"
Xiao Pingtou told Fu Yunsheng about the fragment. The latter frowned, poked the fragment with the tip of the knife, and then touched the tip of the knife with his hand.
"This thing is a bit warm, and the contents inside may have expanded and exploded because of the temperature." Fu Yunsheng looked at the unlucky scavenger with disgust, "It's not harmful, but it really stinks."
"You will be at the back of the queue, and don't get too close to everyone."
The unlucky scavenger nodded without tears.
"Is this a trap left by that kid? But apart from the unpleasant smell, this thing has no effect? Could it be that he is warning us that he has discovered us?"
Fu Yunsheng thought to himself, and then rejected his idea.
"There is no timer or trigger device on this thing. How long it takes to explode depends entirely on luck. How could it be used as a trap?"
He tried to deal with the matter, "That kid probably picked this thing up, then found it was useless and the smell was unpleasant, so he threw it away."
He probably didn't even realize it.
He was subconsciously ruling out all possibilities that would affect his continued tracking.
Although his speculation seems reasonable at first glance, he ignores the word "luck", and luck can also be influenced and controlled.
The powder sprinkled on the clothes is of course the reversed Papilion butterfly, which will affect the luck of the person being smeared and plunge them into bad luck.
As for the remaining pieces of the Dark Guardian that exploded, it was naturally due to the residual heat left by the Burning Flame Tornado.
Wang Chen put the broken piece into the storage ring. In the storage space, the temperature of the broken piece would not decrease over time.
It will explode just by chance.
It shows that the butterfly powder has already played its role.
On the road ahead, the scavengers may not be sure what kind of danger they will encounter because of the bad luck it brings.
After simple tidying up.
A group of scavengers continued their journey to track Wang Chen.
…
Wang Chen took a long detour.
I almost traced the boundary line of [Swamp of the Dead] with my footsteps.
Although you can avoid the dark guardians you may encounter along the way, you actually encounter many dangers along the way.
Just the weird curses played in each area are enough to make ordinary adventurers drink a pot.
But fortunately, Wang Chen has a reversal system that reverses the effects of those curses, and the better he gets, the better he gets.
The scavengers following him were in misery. Not only were the curses that were bound to take effect, but also the events that had a certain probability of happening were also fulfilled on them.
For example, when passing through a place with many grass burrows, you may encounter a small ferocious beast in the grass burrows, the buck-toothed civet.
These ferocious beasts are not life-threatening, but their bites are extremely painful.
After that beaver-like mouth bites you, it takes several people to work together to break its teeth open.
Fortunately, these ferocious beasts are particularly lethargic. If you are not unlucky enough to encounter a buck-toothed raccoon who is getting angry out of bed, then they will not bother to pay attention to you.
As a result, when the scavenger team passed through this area, almost everyone encountered an aggressive buck-toothed civet and was bitten severely by them.
Even though they had prepared in advance and put some protective pads in their trousers, the pain was still severe, and several people even had quite a few superficial wounds.
