"And if this gentleman wants to know more about the swamp, he can ask us."
The old man said with a smile.
"If we say who knows this swampland best, we natives don't dare to claim to be the first.
But it can be said that I have grown up here since I was born.”
The old man's words were very straightforward.
Xu Zimo was able to send Mu Yang back because of his love.
But he would not help herd the rice seedlings for no reason. The old man understood it with a simple guess.
Xu Zimo is definitely interested in the Swamp of Death.
It's just that Xu Zimo, unlike others, did not use a very violent method to solve the problem.
So the old man was kind to Xu Zimo.
After all, it is rare to see them being able to use no force against natives like them and escort them back in person.
After hearing the old man's plea to stay, Xu Zimo originally didn't want to stay.
But maybe there are some new clues.
He nodded and said, "Then I'm sorry."
"Where is my mother?" Mu Yang looked at the old man and asked worriedly.
"Is she okay?"
"It just so happens that we go over there and take a look," the old man said.
"Your mother's condition is getting worse and worse. The curse on her has become corrosive, and we don't dare to get close.
But there is still a breath left.”
"Since you came back from asking for medicine, go and see if the magic medicine has any effect."
Mu Yang nodded quickly.
Xu Zimo also followed behind her.
The old man told everyone else to go back, and only he and the strong man behind him followed.
Mu Yang's mother was placed in the innermost part of Zhui Ri Village, near the mountains.
Because her own cursed energy was too rotten, almost half of the surrounding vegetation died.
The dead swamp is not without plants.
Plants are tenacious and many plants can survive in various harsh environments.
There are some plants that specialize in absorbing the power of curses and like to live here.
Therefore, there are various plants with curse properties planted around the Sun-Chasing Village.
There are black elms, flowers of life and death, and cursed grass.
These things are not common in the outside world, but they grow very vigorously here.
Xu Zimo even saw a large field of wheat.
This wheat is the food of Zhui Ri Village. Without this wheat, everyone would starve to death.
But these wheats are different from ordinary wheat. The kernels are black.
He looks thin and dry, but he should be able to make ends meet.
The village chief of Zhui Ri Village is named Song Yuanshan.
The old man also explained to Xu Zimo along the way: "After we natives were infected by the power of the curse, even eating is different from ordinary people."
"These cursed wheat are extremely poisonous to ordinary people, but for us, they are a great tonic."
Xu Zimo nodded slightly.
"You are already part of the curse, you just
But it still maintains human thinking.”
"Is there any way to save him?" Song Yuanshan asked with eyes filled with anger.
"Actually, we old guys can forget about death. We have already lived enough and are not afraid of death anymore.
But many children are born like this, alas, this is not what we want."
"I don't even know the source of the depths of the Death Swamp, and I still don't know if there is a way to rescue it," Xu Zimo told the truth.
Curses are the hardest things to deal with.
Song Yuanshan sighed.
While they were talking, several people had already arrived in front of Mu Yang's house.
Mu Yang's house is just a small courtyard. In fact, the courtyard is too simple.
It was surrounded by a stone wall.
The stone walls are shabby and old, and there is a curse emanating from all around.
Several people walked into the courtyard and saw three thatched huts in the innermost part of the courtyard.
In one of the rooms, a woman coughed.
"Mom," Mu Yang ran in anxiously.
Xu Zimo followed closely. He walked into the room and saw a haggard-looking woman lying on the earthen bed in the room.
Her entire body skin is black.
The power of the curse on his face is even a bit ferocious.
At this moment, his consciousness has fallen into coma.
After hearing Mu Yang's voice, the woman struggled to sit up.
Mu Yang quickly helped his mother up.
"Mom, can you hear me?"
"Yang'er is back," the woman said with an ugly smile.
"Mom, it's okay, I brought the sacred grass back," Mu Yang said quickly.
She took out the Hidden God Grass and saw that the Hidden God Grass began to absorb the power of the curse as soon as it came out.
The sacred grass has magic power!
"Invisibility grass needs to be taken," Xu Zimo reminded.
Mu Yang nodded quickly and said, "Mother, if you keep insisting, I will make some medicine for you."
Seeing the woman nodding, Mu Yang quickly walked out of the room.
Xu Zimo stepped forward to check the condition of his wife's body.
It can only be described as terrible.
Be it the internal organs, the body or even the soul, they are all terminally ill and have been corroded by the power of the curse.
It's a miracle that he can survive at this point.
Song Yuanshan, who was standing next to her, explained: "She can't let go of her daughter. She always wants to wait for Muyang girl to come back."
Xu Zimo nodded.
Hidden God Grass should be able to extend the other person's life by one and a half years.
"Village Chief Song seems to have something to say to me?" Xu Zimo asked.
The old man had left him to eat before, and Xu Zimo knew what the other man should tell him.
Song Yuanshan looked around.
Finally, he whispered: "We natives live in the Death Swamp all year round.
I've seen some things.
Others may not have noticed, but we know whether you are also planning to visit the Death Swamp."
"Listen to my advice, it's too dangerous out there."
"What kind of dangerous method?" Xu Zimo said with a smile.
Song Yuanshan took a deep breath and finally carefully took out something from his body.
"I have worn this thing on my body for decades and have never shown it to anyone."
It was a handkerchief, wrapped in a broken sword piece.
When he saw the broken sword, Xu Zimo frowned slightly.
Although it was only a small part of the broken sword, from Xu Zimo's perspective, just a small piece of broken sword was extremely extraordinary.
The first is its material. Let alone ordinary forces, even super powerful forces may not have it.
"Meteor Steel?" Xu Zimo said in surprise.
This steel is a rare thing. Generally speaking, only a small piece of this material can be found in meteorites falling from the sky.
And it's also a matter of probability.
This is a non-renewable product.
"Where did you get this thing?" Xu Zimo asked.
"This is part of the God Emperor's sword," Song Yuanshan said astonishingly.
Even Xu Zimo was shocked.
"Did you pick up the God Emperor's sword?"
"Yes, I picked it up, and it's nothing," Song Yuanshan said again.
"Actually, the God Emperor is not dead at all, he is in the Death Swamp."
Another big news, like a bomb.
If it weren't for the serious expression on the other party's face, Xu Zimo would have thought he was joking.
