"Underwater Swamp" is marked on the map obtained by the Adventurer's Association. The distance is not too far, and Ying has already passed here before, and the sealed stone walls have been opened up by the art of explosion, so
Yunmo and the others' journey was not too difficult.
However, the terrain here is complex and the rock formations are uneven. It has been separated from the scope of the main mining area. The light is relatively dim and the visibility is not very high. Under the dim light of the mining lamp, Yunmo and the others look particularly lonely.
Since this is a place where underground water gathers, monsters such as slimes will suddenly emerge from the darkness from time to time and attack strangers passing by.
After Yunmo and Shen He eliminated several waves of slime monsters, they successfully arrived near the underground swamp.
The terrain of the underground swamp is rather peculiar. It is surrounded by rock walls on all sides and there is an underground lake in the middle. Looking up, you can see a little light shining through the rock walls, creating a natural ecological cycle system under the surface.
.
There are many animals and plants here that have never been seen on the ground, such as ferns, fungi, and even trees, which look quite alive.
However, Yun Mo frowned slightly. The further he went down the abyss, the more he could feel a cold breath spreading. It was a bit like the stench of the abyss, but lighter. Maybe it was because this place had been eroded by the abyss, so
That’s why it feels like this.
Moreover, neither Shen He nor Xiao Tuan Que seemed to feel anything strange. Looking at the lush green scene in front of them, Shen He turned his head to Yun Mo and asked, "Can such a scene exist underground?"
"Life is very tenacious. Even in a place where there is no recovery, new life will appear." Yun Mo looked around and said to Shen He: "Okay, let's find out what the missing miner is hiding."
Where is it?"
"Yes." Shen He nodded, and then followed Yun Mo's footsteps and slowly searched near the underground water swamp.
Although the environment here is relatively complex, it is nothing to Yunmo. As soon as the elemental vision was opened, traces of human activities were quickly discovered in a fallen hollow tree.
Yun Mo and Shen He entered the tree hole from the side of the trunk. The air inside was very humid, with a hint of rot. There was a wooden table in the middle, with a work notebook placed on it.
.
Yun Mo picked up the work notes and took a look. Lao He's name was written on the cover. It seemed that these were the miner's work notes.
Suddenly, a strange voice came from behind Yun Mo, "Hey hey... mushroom meat... hey hey hey."
Shen He reacted quickly, and instantly shot out the disaster in his hand, thrusting out towards the back.
But just when Calamity was about to hit the target, Yun Mo stopped him and said, "Don't get excited, let's see who it is first."
Yun Mo turned around and looked back, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a miner standing there, staring at them furtively.
When Yun Mo saw the middle-aged man's face, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, because his eyes were blood red, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and he looked lifeless.
Is this being eroded by the abyss? Yun Mo was filled with doubts.
"Hey...have you finished all your food? It doesn't matter, there is a lot of mushroom meat here." The middle-aged man laughed strangely twice. He seemed not very clear and his speech was a little incoherent.
"Um...are you Lao He?" Yun Mo asked.
"Hehe... I am Lao He..." Lao He nodded and replied.
After a short inquiry, Yun Mo learned that Lao He was not eroded by the abyss, but that he had eaten too many mushrooms called star mushrooms, which led to insanity.
Seeing Lao He in front of him, Yunmo couldn't help but think of a song that was sung every summer,
The mountains cry and shout, relatives and friends come to have a meal, there are umbrellas for the meal, and the whole village lies down together..."
Although mushrooms are good, don’t be greedy for too much!
However, no matter what, at least the person was found and there was no major damage, which can be considered a blessing.
After accompanying the mentally disturbed Lao He to collect some star mushrooms, Yun Mo took him back the same way and headed to the camp of the temporary main mine tunnel.
Jinwu looked at Lao He who had returned safely, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted Lao He on the shoulder, "Oh, I said you must be still alive. Your family even invited me to dinner. I
I said at that time that if I haven’t seen the body, how can I eat?”
Yun Mo listened on the sidelines and was a little bit dumbfounded. He was too anxious to eat. Is it really just as soon as the song started playing and the cloth was covered that the whole village, old and young, was waiting for the food to be served?
Lao He did not refute Jin Wu's words, but just chuckled twice.
"Who is he?" Jin Wu also noticed something was wrong with Lao He and asked.
"I've had some mental problems after eating too many star mushrooms. I'll be fine after some treatment." Yun Mo explained.
"Oh, that's it." Jin Wu nodded, and then went to find the resident doctor at the mine to check on Lao He.
Yun Mo and Shen He also took a short rest in the camp. Yun Mo made marks on his simple map. Along the way, he used his elemental vision to spy on a lot of information in the abyss, including the distribution of monsters and tunnels.
direction, as well as the concentration of the abyssal air that is like a maggot attached to a bone, etc.
However, there was nothing in it that Yun Mo was looking for, which made him a little troubled. But after all, it was only on the surface, and there might be new discoveries going on.
Shen He, on the other hand, was sitting next to Yun Mo, playing with the little bird, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Two people with similar temperaments sit together. Although there is no direct verbal communication, there is always a harmonious atmosphere that makes people feel comfortable.
