In the early morning, Vey was woken up by Lelka gently, and he quickly cheered up. Several people quickly packed up their things. After a while, the forest returned to its original state, and there was no sign that anyone had set foot here.

Pass camp.

The sky had not yet fully lighted up. Under the leadership of Lelka, they quickly passed through the forest and plains. The towering Rodil Mountains gradually magnified in Wei Yi's sight. Until almost noon, Wei Yi finally reached the mountains.

at the foot of the mountain.

The Rodil Mountains are one of the most extensive and majestic mountains in the Southern Territory. The entire mountain range is bare, with only some sparse grassland and shrubs growing on the Rodil Mountains. This is very rare in the fertile Southern Territory.

However, Wei Yi did not stop at the foot of the mountain at this time. They ate the dry food hastily and went down the rugged foot of the mountain again. Just ten minutes later, the two mountain ranges converged in the basin, forming a funnel-shaped gorge. The first half of the gorge

The section was relatively wide, but as Wei Yi walked further inside, the passage became narrower. Until the last dozen meters, the passage became a gap that could only allow one person to pass through sideways, but fortunately they still had some space.

Passed the mountain gorge without any danger.

"That's the Misty Swamp." Lelka climbed onto a boulder and pointed downwards.

Weiyi and Ia climbed up the boulder and looked down the mountain. They saw an endless black shadow stretching as far as the eye could see. The color at the edge of the shadow gradually darkened from gray-black to the center. Even at noon when the sun was shining brightly, the entire swamp still glowed.

With a gloomy atmosphere, the swamp is dotted with large and small pieces of land emerging from the swamp. Even the plants growing in the swamp have a faint gray color.

They followed the winding animal trails down the mountain and came to the edge of the swamp. Suddenly, a wave of swamp gas accumulated over the years instantly filled Vey's nasal cavity, and a feeling of vomiting immediately filled his mind.

"When we enter the swamp, there will be almost no hard land. We have to wade all the way in the mud, so we need to tie something under our feet later. Oia, lend me your knife." Lerka said.

.

Lelka walked into the woods and cut down many thin vines. He skillfully weaved the vines into protective plates of suitable size for the soles of the three people's feet, and then motioned for Weiyi and Ia to tie them to the soles of their feet.

The guards made of vines increased the stress-bearing area of ​​their soles, allowing the three of them to walk in the mire with less effort, while also reducing the chance of their feet getting stuck in the mire.

They tried the tightness, and when everything was ready, Lelka still took the lead and walked into the misty swamp.

As to why this giant swamp was named Misty Swamp, Weiy only then knew the answer.

After they walked a few hundred meters inward, a faint mist floated above the swamp, and the mist was of different colors, some were light green, and some were tan.

Wei Yi struggled to pull out one foot, bringing up the turbid mud and foul-smelling bubbles from the bottom of the water. Broken branches and leaves floated on the surface of the water. From time to time, a few bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water and exploded on the surface.

Oia, who was walking behind Weiyi, frowned, obviously hating this place.

Lerka, who was the heaviest, would miss his feet from time to time and fall into the waist-deep mire. However, he quickly reacted and stood up with his hands on the ax and driftwood beside him. He cursed and continued on his way.

Time passed quickly, and Vey trudged hard in the swamp for several hours. The sun gradually set towards the west, and the afterglow shone on his tired face through the green mist over the swamp.

Throughout the afternoon, he initially estimated that they should have only walked about two kilometers, and the distance might be much shorter, because they had to go around some obstacles under the water, which would cause them to deviate from the original route from time to time, and they had to spend some time to identify the correct route.

After taking your bearings, return to the original path and continue on your way.

Wei Yi's throat twitched. The whole afternoon's trek had left him physically and mentally exhausted. The only thing he wanted to think about now was to find a place to camp and sleep.

Suddenly, a panicked sound came into the ears of the three people. The sound was far away and now close. There was also a sound of crying and pain in the sound, making the three people unable to identify the source of the sound.

Laerka was the first to react. He pulled out his ax and quickly scanned the surroundings. A sudden cry came from the depths of the swamp where there was no sign of life. It would probably make ordinary people shudder, but Laerka, as a dwarf,

Erka didn't believe these things. He yelled: "What are you pretending to be? Come out!"

The sound paused for a moment, and then sounded again, but it became louder and more shrill.

"The sound is coming from over there!" Ia closed his eyes and listened to the sound, pointing to their left front and said.

Lerka held the ax in both hands and moved forward quickly on the driftwood. Vey and Ia followed behind him and trotted towards the source of the increasingly louder sound.

After they climbed over a mound, they finally knew the source of the sound.

A little girl struggled violently with half of her body in the mud. Her hands were slapping helplessly on the water. She seemed to have seen the three Wei people not far away. She screamed in pain in a language they could not understand.

The cry seemed to be asking them for help. Along with the violent movements and struggles, the little girl's body slowly sank in the mud, and soon the turbid water flooded her chest.

The girl's cry gripped their hearts like a chain. Weiyi, who was standing at the end, felt a faint dizziness in his mind, as if there was an order guiding him to the girl's side. But he quickly discovered that something was wrong.

, Lerka and Ia, who were standing at the front, swayed slightly and their movements became a little stiff. They walked towards the little girl without saying anything.

The swamp where the little girl was was much deeper than other places. Every time Lelka and Ia took a step forward, the water would rise a few centimeters, and soon the swamp was submerged up to their thighs.

Weiyi bit the tip of his tongue and suddenly woke up. He shouted at Lelka and Ia: "Don't go there!"

While talking, he picked up the bow and arrow that Oia had dropped in the water, and used all his strength to shoot his most powerful arrow.

The arrow went directly through the girl's head, but the girl did not suffer any damage. The next moment, the girl disappeared from the water, replaced by a strange black tree. The branches of the tree swayed in the air like snakes.

There was a blurry face on the tree trunk. The black branches swayed in the air, sweeping towards Lelka and Oia.

Following Weiyi's loud roar, Lelka and Ea suddenly walked out of the hallucination, and then they saw countless black branches stretching towards them like snakes, and the soft branches instantly tied Lelka's body.

With all four limbs, he dragged him towards the woods.

The agile Ia dodged the branch that rolled towards him. He quickly jumped up and nimbly jumped onto a branch as thick as an arm. He pulled out the short knife at his waist. The light of the knife flashed and tied Lerka's limbs.

The branches were cut off by the sword light, and a large amount of dark green juice dripped from the broken branches. Leka also fell from the air to the water. The cold water also made Leka choke a few mouthfuls, and she immediately woke up.

.

"Mist Shadow Tree!" Leka reacted and roared angrily.

Vey in the rear threw the ax to Lelka, and ran directly towards the trees with a long sword in hand. The branches of the black trees gave up and continued to attack Ia and Lelka, surrounding Vey from all directions, as if they wanted to trap him.
