In the early morning, everyone was responsible for investigating the clues of this mission.
The situation in the castle was exactly as the servant said. The Schumacher family did not interrogate or obstruct Chen Mo and his party.
The Schumacher family's castle is different from the castle in Chen Mo's impression.
This place is more like a small town in the Middle Ages. The high walls are divided into the rear living area for the core members of the family and the outer living area for the subordinate people.
There are only about two to three thousand permanent residents in the entire castle.
Among them, there are less than two hundred people, wearing the Schumacher family crest, in small teams, haunting the city walls, streets and exclusive training grounds.
besides.
There are also a large number of outsiders called adventurers, who travel throughout the vast and dangerous areas all year round, bringing prey and luxury goods to the markets of various castles for sale, which is also one of the main sources of income in the castle.
The bluestone floor on the street looked like it was covered with a layer of oil. It was filled with filth and dirt everywhere. Rats and cockroaches were almost infested in groups in the corners.
In such an environment, Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and continue walking forward.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A little girl cried and asked her mother to carry her. The mother sternly said: "If you don't obey me, Gui Wu will come and arrest you at night!"
When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she stopped crying.
When Chen Mo saw this, he couldn't help but smile, and soon came to the castle gate where a group of guards were stationed.
"The world of mist."
Chen Mo remembered that the optical brain data chip mentioned the name of this world.
And when he stood in front of the castle gate and saw the distance, he couldn't help but murmured.
The surrounding area outside the castle is filled with wheat fields. Farmers are working intensively in the fields, and the warm sunshine shines on the wheat fields.
As far as the eye can see, it is warm and dry, with people coming and going, and the birds singing and the flowers fragrant.
Except that people's living standards seem to be roughly equivalent to Europe in the fifteenth century, the rest does not seem to be much different from the earth's environment.
However!
When Chen Mo looked further into the distance, to the outer area less than five kilometers away from the castle, he saw a wall of fog visible to the naked eye, rising straight into the sky and suddenly appearing in his field of vision.
Living within the confines of Schumacher Castle at this moment is like living in the eye of a storm, quite like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
The white mist seemed to divide this place into two parts.
One part is the living area centered on the castle, where people live and work in peace and contentment, farming, livestock raising, and hunting. The other part is the world outside in the mist, full of moisture and unknowns.
The so-called castle is like an isolated island in the sea, a rare peaceful harbor in a dangerous environment.
"Is it always shrouded in fog?"
Chen Mo, who was standing in front of the castle gate, instinctively asked the guard next to him.
"ah!?"
This guard, wearing a light animal skin armor with the emblem of the Schumacher family hanging on his chest, suddenly showed great astonishment after hearing Chen Mo's question.
He looked at Chen Mo like a fool.
At this time, the captain of the guard team next to him came over and responded proactively: "Yes, sir, the place is shrouded in fog all year round and is filled with various poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. If you go in, you must be careful."
Seeing Chen Mo's thoughtful look, the guard captain continued: "Actually, it's not so much that it's shrouded in fog all year round. It's better to say that we are protected by God and are not shrouded in fog."
"is that so."
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask: "You just said that the mist is filled with all kinds of poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. What do you mean?"
When the guard captain heard this, he showed a solemn expression.
"Poisonous insects are almost everywhere. As for those dangerous creatures, they are also called monsters, or alien beasts. It is said that they are mutated monsters formed after being contaminated by those powerful poison masters. They have various shapes and are relatively rare in the periphery of the fog. They are Their flesh has anti-venom properties, and anti-venom potions can be extracted at the pharmacist. Many powerful adventurer teams make a living by hunting these monsters."
Poison Master, Warcraft.
Compared with these in-depth clues, Chen Mo was relatively more concerned about poisonous insects at this time. This should be the basic ecological law of the foggy world, and it also reminded him of the poisonous tongue attack of Dr. Horrible during the Starving Demon Trial.
If it is so dangerous, it must be guarded against.
"If the mission in this world, according to Nightingale's speculation, has so-called unknown dangers, it is probably due to the strange ecological environment here."
But thankfully.
For ordinary poisonous insects or poisonous skills, high defense physique and external energy shield will be their nemesis.
It just so happens!
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-toxic property you just mentioned?"
Hearing this, the guard squad leader responded: "In addition to the body's innate survival resistance, in order to better adapt to the dangerous environment in the fog, we will hunt the magical beasts in the fog, or collect some special plants, and use the pharmacist to refine the anti-toxic Potion, and then gain stronger anti-poison properties. Only in this way can we try to pass through the fog, reach other castles, or go to Glory City."
It seems that just like Dingli, the anti-drug attribute mentioned by the opponent will not be displayed as a panel attribute by the optical brain data chip, and is a hidden attribute.
Chen Mo looked at the weapon in the soldier's hand. It was a spear with a wax-sealed edge.
He was keenly aware of the extremely poisonous nature of this weapon sealed by wax oil. It seemed that in this world, the two attributes of anti-venom and extremely toxic had formed a competitive relationship.
And everything behind this is likely to be closely related to the poison master in his mouth.
Sudden.
Chen Mo stretched out his palm and rubbed the tip of the guard captain's spear.
"ah!!"
The guard squad leader suddenly screamed: "You are crazy!"
This is what Young Master Lachi personally told him to provide convenience to the victims of natural disasters. If he died here, he would probably have a difficult life in the future.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a knife and tried to perform bloodletting therapy to save Chen Mo.
The so-called bloodletting therapy is a treatment method developed by people in the foggy world in order to deal with the ubiquitous poisonous insects. Its principle is to release part of the blood mixed with highly toxic and excrete it from the body, thereby diluting the intensity and duration of the toxicity. Treatment effects vary from person to person.
the other side.
Chen Mo did this not because he was asking for trouble, but because he wanted to test his ability to survive in this world in advance.
Tips: You have received acute poison damage, the damage is 15 points per second, lasting 10 seconds.
Tip: Your health value is -1.
Tip: Your health value is -1.
Tip: Your high physical defense is automatically immune to acute poison damage.
It was exactly as Chen Mo guessed.
With his current constitution of 26 points of defense, he was basically immune to low-level acute toxin damage. Even if the terrifying doctor was resurrected, Chen Mo could basically ignore his poisonous tongue attack skills.
This kind of acute poison attack is obviously a powerful weapon for the strong to kill the weak, but if it is used against the strong, it can almost be ignored by the opponent.
Seeing that the guard captain took out a knife and was about to bleed his own wound, Chen Mo quickly signaled: "I'm fine."
When the team leader heard this, he stopped moving.
After he saw that Chen Mo was almost unaffected, the surrounding guards couldn't help being shocked, and they all marveled at Chen Mo's anti-drug properties.
This is undoubtedly an outstanding existence among adventurers.
Seeing this, the guard captain slowly put away the knife, looked at Chen Mo and said with an unhappy face: "Then you shouldn't harm yourself in this way. The poison of the Schumacher family is not in vain!"
"Feel sorry."
After expressing his apology, Chen Mo explained: "Just because of the task assigned by Master Lacy, I must have a basic understanding of my own strength. Can I survive in the fog with such anti-drug attributes?"
Hearing this, the guard captain said calmly: "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."
After leaving the castle, Chen Mo walked forward for a few kilometers and finally came to the edge of the "fog wall".
To say this is a wall of fog is absolutely correct.
More than ten meters away, it was still a hot and sunny environment, but here, it was already very humid and the visibility dropped rapidly. It was like two different worlds.
These strange fogs were like ghosts with self-awareness, flowing past Chen Mo.
As Chen Mo continued to go deeper, the visibility in front of him was even less than ten meters.
There are towering giant trees everywhere, growing in various weird postures, and their branches are often covered with vines. The plants here have adapted to this dark environment, and weird bird calls are heard from time to time, highlighting the terrifying nature of the forest. The quietness.
This quietness does not mean that the place is lifeless.
Rather, it is as if the environment here is consciously swallowing up the interference of sound through intricate connections with each other, so that the various poisonous insects here can thrive quietly.
Chen Mo raised his palm.
The surrounding fog actually followed the movements of Chen Mo's palms, forming waves and whirlpools in front of him like flowing water.
These mists seem to be a special kind of natural energy, full of magic.
Tip: You suffer acute poison damage, the damage is 8 points per second, lasting 5 seconds.
Tip: Your health value is -1.
While Chen Mo was observing the fog, almost unconsciously, the optical brain data chip reminded him that he had suffered acute toxin damage.
However, his powerful physical defense makes him immune to this poison.
But the other party was able to complete the poison attack without him noticing, which really surprised him. After searching carefully, he finally found that a poisonous insect in the shape of a leech had unknowingly landed on his clothes. collar.
You know, it probably hasn't even been a minute since he walked into the misty forest.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out a container and temporarily stored the poisonous insect to take it back as mission information.
Less than half an hour of exploration followed.
Even though Chen Mo was very careful, he was still attacked by poisonous insects twice.
During this period, he collected more than a dozen poisonous insects of different types one by one, and then returned to the Schumacher family castle with satisfaction.
