"What does this mean? A semi-anonymous letter..." Li Shuyi thought about it for a moment, "It doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us."
Bai Xiaowen hummed and waved the thin jackal man away.
This jackal was not only weak in strength, but also had low intelligence and was basically unable to communicate. Out of respect for the messenger, Bai Xiaowen was not allowed to use the confusing charm on the jackal messenger to read through his memory.
"Xiaowen, who do you think it could be?" Li Shuyi asked.
"I don't know, but this person must not be simple," Bai Xiaowen said. "The other party seems to already know my target location... The only people who can know this are Camelot and the top orcs. But if it's these two
There is no need for high-level officials of the country to communicate with me in such a hidden way."
"Could it be a mysterious organization that we don't know?" Li Shuyi asked.
"It's very possible."
Putting away his scales, Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry so much... The difficulty of this mission is only B+. Judging from the difficulty, this mysterious organization should not be too malicious to us, otherwise the difficulty must be at least A+ or above. Of course I
You won’t just consider the difficulty, but once you get to the place, proceed with caution.”
There were no accidents in the rest of the journey. The two took the teleportation array to the Kingdom of Camelot, declined Camelot's banquet, and headed north directly to the Pale Swamp.
…
The pale swamp is filled with a pale mist.
This mist is bitingly cold and seems to be constantly absorbing the body's heat. Walking in the swamp, the physical energy lost cannot be replenished.
"The name Pale Swamp seems a bit familiar," Li Shuyi said.
"Well, the core area of the treasure space of Lake of the Dead is called Pale Mire, which actually means the same thing." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Is there any connection between these two places? I remember there was this kind of weird mist, it seems to be called Yin Qi."
"Well... it should be the same place," Bai Xiaowen said, "It's just that the treasure space of Lake of the Dead should be the fragmented space that collapsed during the last unification of the Kuroshio plane or even earlier, which happened to include the pale
Swamp. The pale swamp we see now is actually a place after re-evolution."
After Li Shuyi and Bai Xiaowen stepped into the Pale Swamp, they both experienced a negative state of "Yin Qi lingering". This state was actually very familiar to them.
"I remember that there is a hidden tribe of snake people in the pale mire in the treasure space. I don't know if there is still one." Li Shuyi said.
"I don't know about this..." Bai Xiaowen actually had some doubts in his heart. He recalled that the female leader of the snake tribe, Aliqi, whom he met in the Pale Mire, seemed to be the priest of Amotawa.
But her appearance is very different from ordinary snake-men. The most special thing is that she has many arms, which is very similar to the multi-armed snake-men of the snake mother.
According to Bai Xiaowen's judgment, the treasure space of the Lake of the Dead should be that after the abyssal snake camp in the Black Tide plane completed its unification, the fragments of the plane that collapsed appeared in the center of the continent precisely because the snake people won.
However, how should we explain the Eye of Amotawa enshrined at the Snake Man Altar?
If the snake people were unified, Amotava should be in good health and wouldn't pluck out his own eyeballs to worship the believers, right?
Bai Xiaowen shook his head, put away these thoughts, and focused his attention on his surroundings again.
Although the thin mist could obscure his vision, Bai Xiaowen's mental scanning was not hindered. Soon, he discovered something abnormal.
Wow!
A strong black shadow jumped out of the swamp, brought up a large ball of mud, and rushed towards Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen was already prepared and raised his hand to call out the Skeleton Warrior. The latter bumped into him, knocking the black shadow in front of him back several steps. Of course, the Skeleton Warrior was also knocked back several meters away. The strength of the two
The value difference is not big.
The black figure staggered and was revealed to be a huge crocodile covered in mud.
Bai Xiaowen casually threw out the insight. This crocodile is called "Death Swamp Giant Crocodile". It is a level 10 elite creature with camouflage, biting and tail-sweeping skills. It is not very strong.
"Don't do anything."
Bai Xiaowen summoned Kitz again, together with the Shadow Assassin and other undead summoned creatures. In this environment where the gloomy atmosphere lingers, sending undead creatures is the best choice. The physical recovery of normal life forms is too slow.
Under Bai Xiaowen's control, the summoned creatures cooperated and killed the giant crocodile, but not even a hair was lost.
"This damn ghost mist, it would be great if we could also collect undead disguises here." Li Shuyi said.
"Don't worry. The ghost mist itself is part of the difficulty of the B+ level mission... The presence of such a heavy ghost mist means that the difficulty of the battle we will encounter will be very low."
Bai Xiaowen released his mental power and suddenly frowned and said: "Something is coming again... There seems to be quite a lot of them."
While talking, Bai Xiaowen glanced at the bad luck bracelet, and there was actually a smiley face on it.
"?"
Before the question mark in Bai Xiaowen's mind turned into "!", he encountered the creatures that came following the sound.
A bunch of lobster people…
The big claws, the thick carapace, the bulging eyes... the familiar formula, the familiar taste.
"Who are you?! You broke into this dead land. Don't you want to live?"
The lobster man at the front has a claw on his right hand that is larger than his left hand. He is a leader-level creature. He waved his big claw and shouted at Bai Xiaowen: "Get out of here quickly, otherwise you will die!"
"Well..."
Bai Xiaowen glanced at the smiley face pattern of the bad luck bracelet again, and finally slowly took out a scale.
That's right, it was the scales that the mysterious organization signed "g" gave to Bai Xiaowen and asked him to keep them safe.
The moment he saw the scales, the lobster man leader was suddenly startled.
"You... where did you get this scale?"
"I don't know. There are words written on the scales, you can read it yourself." Bai Xiaowen handed over the scales.
Unexpectedly, the lobster man leader dodged as if he was dodging a soldering iron, feeling quite in a hurry: "No, don't look...Humans, follow me!"
Li Shuyi glanced at Bai Xiaowen curiously.
"Follow...these lobster people probably don't mean any harm." Bai Xiaowen let out a breath and followed quickly.
Soon, the two were led by the lobster people to a lobster village in the swamp. A group of lobster people watched curiously along the road until they reached the end of the village, in front of a hut made of shells.
