An infinite journey starting from Baldur's Gate

Chapter 42 Out of the Swamp
Everyone is in a very bad mood when walking hard in the stinky, rotten mire. Not only do they have to endure the effects of the smell all the time,

It is already disturbing enough to suffer from all kinds of strange mosquito bites.
Coupled with the fact that he couldn't tell the direction, and Astelon kept talking and complaining, the negative emotions in the team soared.

Finally, Shadow Heart couldn't help but roared angrily:
"Shut your mouth!"

Not only him, but Gale and Weir also couldn't stand the constant chatter in their ears. For the sake of harmony, they didn't use swear words or make bad remarks.

However, Asteron did not realize her mistake, but instead worsened it.
He directly got into a fight with Ying Xin, frowning and saying:

"What's the point of getting angry at me? If you're capable, you should take the lead in finding a way out of here!"

"you……"

Just when the conflict was about to escalate, Ma Long, who was walking ahead to explore the road, stopped, frowned, turned back to break up the fight and shouted:

"Quiet! Shut your mouths, we are already starting to fight among ourselves after such a little difficulty."

"How can we go further?"

What we have encountered so far is nothing compared to the many difficulties that will follow!
But he was also glad in his heart. Fortunately, they had a conflict now. The consequences would be more serious and irreparable in the future.

"That's right. Everyone, please calm down. Nothing is more important than leaving here,"

"We have to focus and get on our way as quickly as possible."

At this time, Gale echoed, nodding in agreement with the key points, and calming the two emotionally unstable people in a good voice.

The word unity is not so easy to achieve, especially for a team that has just been formed.
Everyone has their own personality, ideas and secrets, so friction and disputes are almost inevitable.

Fortunately, Ying Xin was still rational. After calming down, she gave someone a cold look and kept silent.

As for Astelon, even though her face was full of dissatisfaction, she did not continue to pester her. She snorted and turned away, settling the matter.

Seeing that they all calmed down, Ma Long persuaded with a solemn expression and a deep and serious tone:
"Everyone, please remember that everyone around you is a companion whom you can trust to protect your back during the battle."

"Even if the other person makes you unhappy, please be as generous and tolerant as possible,"

"There are too many dangers in the world, and when we are in this situation, the only people we can rely on are each other and no one else. So only by uniting and working together can we get to the end."

At the end of the long speech, everyone present was deeply moved and looked at each other.
Destiny causes people's unrelated lives to intersect in parallel and set foot on the finish line with a unified goal. This journey is destined to meet all kinds of people.

There are both good and bad in them,

But the only people you can truly rely on and trust are the people around you.

After a moment of silence, Weier said with sincere admiration:

"You are very eloquent, Ma Long. You are very similar to a person I know well. He is also good at inspiring people, boosting morale and urging people to unite."

"Really? I appreciate the compliment, but now is not a good time for small talk."

Hearing this, Ma Long smiled slightly and turned around and waved for everyone to continue moving forward.
After crossing the smelly mud road that was more than ten meters long, a higher path appeared in front of us. We obviously followed it.

There is a high probability that you can leave the swamp.

However, whether to go left or right has become a point of disagreement. The fog is so thick that the sky cannot be seen, and the direction cannot be determined based on the position of the sun.

Shadow Heart thought it was better to go left, while Gale thought the right way was the right way out.
Of course, the above are just my personal thoughts.

There is no basis to prove that he is right, it is just intuition. In this regard, Ma Long decided to use guessing method to choose which side to go.
In the end, Gale won, and the group immediately headed to the right and moved quickly. Within five minutes, the terrain was getting higher and higher.

The thick fog gradually began to thin. Obviously they were lucky and chose the right direction. However, the moment Ma Long and others successfully walked out of the swamp,
Everyone could vaguely hear a strange and back-chilling inhuman laughter...

It seems that something has been paying attention to them along the way.

"You heard it too, right?"

Looking back at the misty swamp, Gale asked his friends.

Ying Xin nodded and responded solemnly:
"...I'm afraid we have intruded into the habitat of some kind of being."

The red hat and the illusion before had already confirmed that there were very troublesome things living deep in the swamp. Maybe the fog was caused by them.

Ma Long carried the sword, stared into the fog with a frosty face, and whispered to himself:

"Ghost, we have a falling out."

He would come back to this swamp full of stench and decay, and when the time came, he would definitely find out the guy who was doing trouble in the dark.
Give him a good punishment!
But before that, he still had to solve higher priority issues...

After walking out of the swamp, everyone came to a large dense forest. Everywhere they looked were tall trees and lush bushes.

The line of sight is still not very wide, but fortunately Asteron has a very keen sense of smell.

After all, the stench no longer surrounded her body, and she suddenly smelled the smell she longed for, blood.

"follow me."

After saying that, Astelon held a short bow and walked quickly through the forest with light steps. Seeing this, Ma Long waved without saying anything and asked others to follow quickly.

This vampire is extremely agile and can reach seven or eight meters away in the blink of an eye!
If she wasn't careful, she might have disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, she had friends waiting behind her, so she didn't leave anyone behind.

Following the subtle smell of blood in the air, after a while, Astelon led everyone to the place where the breath spread, still in the forest,
But there is a battle going on here!
A small group of tieflings faced off against a large group of extremely ferocious goblins. The two sides fought extremely fiercely, with the sounds of weapons clashing and war cries continuing.
There are even spellcasters releasing spells.

However, the latter, relying on their numerical superiority, had surrounded the former. Although these tieflings tried hard to resist and tried to break through,

It's a pity that the effect is very little, and it won't be long before they are killed by the goblin butcher's knife.

[The responsibility of the constant oath has been activated: support the weak]

[When the weak face a desperate situation, the paladin will lend a helping hand to prevent the coming tragedy and give the perpetrators the punishment they deserve. 】

[Reward: Available attribute points +2]

When the conditions are met, the system releases the task again, still the same as before.

"Asteron, Gale, keep a good distance, Shadow Heart, Veer, charge me."

After the words fell, Ma Long took the lead in raising his sword and headed towards the goblins not far away.

The Blade of the Frontier couldn't wait to get on it, and quickly rushed towards the battlefield with the rapier in its hand. Shadow's heart didn't care about the tiefling's life or death.
But when the captain speaks, he will not stand idly by.

As for Asteron and Gale, they don’t need to fight at close range;

Stand far away and use your own methods to defeat the enemy.
