Chapter 355: Fog-Locked Swamp (Two Point Two Five and One)

Time comes at night
Qin Yuan took out the remaining four invitations.

The remaining four invitations are

[Underwater Prison]
[Cursed Cliffs]
[Lava Dam]
[Mist-locked swamp]
As you can tell from the names, the terrains of the remaining four places are quite special.

The underwater prison may be underwater, and the temperature of the lava dam should be very high.

After thinking for a while, Qin Yuan put the two invitations away.

Look at the remaining two.

Cursed Crags and Mistlock Swamp.

The giant bones he had just obtained had a certain immunity effect against negative effects such as curses.

It would have been easier if I had chosen Cursed Cliffs.

Therefore, Qin Yuan decisively used the invitation letter to the Fog Lock Swamp.

Qin Yuan felt that he was incredibly strong now, and he had to make things difficult for himself, otherwise how could he highlight his awesomeness?
The flames engulfed the invitation.

The original pattern on the back of the hand began to fade and was gradually replaced by a cloud of mist.

Just when the fog was fully formed, a strange figure appeared behind it, obscured by the fog and unable to be seen clearly.

Seeing the changes in the pattern on the back of the hand, Chu Lie and the others looked a little solemn. This time, the pattern alone gave them an inexplicable sense of unknown crisis.

I don’t know what kind of place this special map is.

After Qin Yuan used the invitation letter, Yin Songbai learned the name of the map from Qin Yuan and went to prepare supplies that might be useful.

Given Qin Yuan’s current status in the zoo, the resources he can mobilize are only slightly less than Ma Jin’s.

Things like weapons and props stored in the warehouse can be taken out and used at any time as long as Qin Yuan wants, and no one will even gossip about them behind his back.

But that's not necessary.

After all, any piece of equipment Qin Yuan took out was worth as much as all the equipment in the entire warehouse.

Rare-level equipment cannot be compared with ordinary items.

However, even Yin Songbai didn't want to take more.

But the zoo employee in charge of warehouse management knew that it was Qin Yuan who wanted it, so he persuaded him and forced dozens of bottles of medicine into his mouth.

What about defense potions, healing potions, barrier potions, invisibility potions, and purification potions.

"No, Old Yin, why did you bring back so many potions?"

Chu Lie asked in confusion when he saw Yin Songbai returning with bottles and jars.

After all, with Qin Yuan here, they really don’t need these things.

"Little Li from the warehouse forced it on me. I don't know what's going on today, but he seems much more enthusiastic than before."

Yin Songbai explained.

"Captain, have you been to the warehouse?"

Zhao Xu, who was standing by, thought of something when he heard this and looked at Qin Yuan. He felt that the warehouse boy Li might have been fooled by Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan shook his head:

"I am a good official who is honest and upright!"

Zhao Xu: “.”

He felt that Qin Yuan had nothing to do with being honest and upright.

However, he did not dwell on it. After all, the change in attitude of the heads of various areas in the zoo explained something. The zoo had begun to be controlled by them bit by bit.

It was only a matter of time before the entire zoo was under control.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu turned his attention to the pile of bottles and jars that Yin Songbai had brought back.

Although I can't use it, I still got it.

Zhao Xu picked out a few bottles that he recognized and took them with him.

As for those who don’t know the effect.

Zhao Xu watched Chu Lie pack up all the potions whose effects he didn't know, and brought them to Qin Yuan one by one to ask for his advice.

Then, every time Qin Yuan mentioned the effect of a potion, Chu Lie would immediately exclaim, "It's like this, Captain, I'm afraid without you..."

'Oh My God!'

"Captain, you are amazing."

Chu Lie's behavior made Zhao Xu feel disgusted.

Qin Yuan didn't care about this at all. After all, Xiao Chuzi was telling the truth, and he liked to hear it.

However, I didn't listen for long.

Then I felt dizzy.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan knew that the time to enter the dungeon had come.

There is no way to resist this dizzy feeling.

Close your eyes and let your consciousness sink with that special pull.

When Qin Yuan opened his eyes again, the surroundings had turned into a sea of white.

The air was thick with humidity and a hint of the unique smell of mud.

After Qin Yuan opened his eyes, his attention was drawn to the soft touch coming from under his feet.

Qin Yuan only used a little bit of strength, but he didn't expect that his feet would sink directly into the ground below, and it seemed that they were sinking deeper and deeper.

It seems that this swamp in the foggy swamp is a swamp in the literal sense.

Fortunately, he had the passive skill of [Falling Feather], which reduced his weight by half.

This meant that as long as Qin Yuan didn't exert any force, he wouldn't fall into the swamp under his feet.

If an ordinary person were to come in, his ankles would probably be swallowed up by the swamp in just this short period of time.

Besides that, the heavy fog is also a problem here.

Qin Yuan shifted his attention from the swamp under his feet and looked at the white mist in front of him.

The fog was so thick that even if I raised my hand and placed it ten centimeters away from my eyes, I could only see a rough outline.

I can't see anything at all.

"team leader?"

Just as Qin Yuan was observing this special map environment, Hua Hongan's slightly panicked voice came from beside him.

Not being able to see him made him a little scared.

"Don't panic, we're all here."

Yin Songbai spoke to comfort her at this time.

After comforting Hua Hongan, Yin Songbai asked Qin Yuan:
"Captain, should we get some rope and tie it around our hands so we don't get separated?"

Qin Yuan took a look at the mini-map. The heavy fog obviously couldn't affect the display of the mini-map.

However, after thinking about it, Qin Yuan nodded:

"can."

After saying that, he took out a rope and handed it to Yin Songbai in the fog.

Although he can find people, it would be too troublesome for him to go looking for them every time they get lost.

After everyone tied the rope around their bodies, Qin Yuan led four people and began to explore the swamp in front of them.

There are no lords on the small map, and there are not even many elite monsters.

In addition, what is quite special is that there are four square-shaped buildings on the map, each occupying one side of the foggy swamp.

Seeing this, Qin Yuan guessed that these buildings might be related to the lord here.

After having this idea, he did not waste any time and directly led Chu Lie and the other three towards the nearest cube building.

Although there are not many elite monsters in this fog-locked swamp, there are indeed quite a few small monsters.

After walking a few steps, a group of black shadows suddenly jumped out of the swamp under their feet.

These black shadows are the size of a palm and move extremely fast, especially in this foggy environment, making them difficult to avoid.

"Kakaka!"

There was a constant sound of teeth biting on hard objects.

When the people behind Qin Yuan heard these sounds, they immediately became alert.

But they soon discovered that these sounds came from Qin Yuan's direction.

This made the four of them feel relieved, but they were also wondering what had happened.

"Captain, what is it?"

Chu Lie asked directly.

"nothing."

Qin Yuan answered.

Seeing that Qin Yuan didn't say anything, Chu Lie didn't ask any more questions.

However, the occasional gnawing sounds still made him feel a little creepy.

I had a strange feeling as if my bones were being gnawed at.

After walking for a few more minutes, the gnawing sounds ahead grew louder and louder, but the thick fog around them still showed no signs of thinning.

This made several people feel inexplicably panicked.

It seemed like no one had spoken for a long time.

Is the person in front still one of us? Has he been replaced by some unknown monster?

This idea arose in the minds of several people and then quickly spread.

The air seemed to be becoming more and more oppressive.

"Captain, where are we going?"

Finally, Chu Lie couldn't bear it anymore and asked tentatively.

After he spoke, Zhao Xu behind him breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Lie was still in front of him.

Hua Hongan felt a little relieved after hearing this.

Then he began to look forward to Qin Yuan's answer.

But what sound?

Chu Lie's question fell on deaf ears, without any ripples.

Only the sound of teeth biting hard objects could be heard from the front.

"Team Captain?"

Chu Lie swallowed and asked again.

He was not worried about Qin Yuan getting into trouble, but if Qin Yuan disappeared, something would happen to them.

However, after the second inquiry, there was still no response.

"How to do?"

Chu Lie asked Yin Songbai behind him.

"Can Hong An still smell the captain's scent?"

Hearing Chu Lie's question, Yin Songbai, who was walking at the back, asked Hua Hongan in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Hua Hongan immediately understood what Yin Songbai meant and immediately used his skills to transform himself into a wolf.

Use your nose, which is much more sensitive than humans', to capture Qin Yuan's scent in the air.

However, the scent he caught was very faint.

It can't be said to be thin either.

This feeling is a little hard to describe.
"Hong An? How is it?"

Seeing that Hua Hongan didn't say anything for a long time, Chu Lie urged him.

"I can still smell the captain, but it feels like it's been covered by a lot of other smells...hmm."

Hua Hongan thought for a long time before he came up with a more appropriate word.

"Override? What do you mean?"

Chu Lie was a little confused after hearing Hua Hongan's explanation.

However, just when he wanted to continue asking, Zhao Xu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"Look ahead."

"Look ahead? What can you see in this damn place?"

Although Chu Lie was puzzled when he heard this, he still turned his head to look forward, and then he saw a hazy light suddenly appear in the thick white fog.

The light has strong penetrating power, and they can still be seen even from a distance of several meters.

However, the next moment after this ray of light appeared, the movements of Chu Lie and the other three froze for a moment.

Because of the light, they could vaguely see the back of Qin Yuan in front of them.

On the huge body, there is a constantly twisting shadow.

Combined with the constant chewing sound, it seemed as if the figure in front of him had tens of millions of mouths opening and closing at the same time.

"What is this!"

The next moment they saw the monster in front of them, the four of them were shocked by the horrifying scene at the same time.

"Gudu!"

The sound of swallowing saliva was heard.

The true appearance of the terrifying figure hidden in the white fog automatically appeared in the minds of the four people.

That is a monster that cannot be looked at directly.

Chu Lie's left hand, which was tied with the rope, began to tremble, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and asked with difficulty:
"What should we do? Escape?"

Hua Hongan nodded quickly. In the absence of Qin Yuan, he simply did not have the courage to fight such a monster.

But after nodding, he quickly realized that others couldn't see it, so he quickly said:
"Let's not move and wait for the captain to come and rescue us."

"Yin Songbai, what do you think?"

Seeing this, Zhao Xu asked Yin Songbai that in this situation, he thought it would be better not to act rashly.

Since the other party did not attack them at the first time, it means that their current situation is still safe, but if they run away or do not move, it is very likely to cause a stress response from the monster in front.

By then, it will probably be a fierce battle.

They couldn't see anything in the white fog, and if a battle really broke out, they would most likely be wiped out.

After thinking for a while, Yin Songbai said:

"Wait until we get closer to the light source."

He and Zhao Xu had similar ideas:

"Once we get closer to the light source, even if it attacks us, it will be able to see the shadows and won't be completely blinded. That way, we still have some ability to fight back."

Yin Songbai obviously considered both the pros and cons.

After thinking about this for a while, Chu Lie and Hua Hongan felt that this was probably the best solution for the current situation, so they had no objections.

Continue to follow the monster in front and move closer to the light source.

But unlike before, the four of them now held their weapons tightly, ready to attack at any time.

As they got closer to the light source, they could see clearly what was emitting the light.

It was a square house, and they couldn't tell what color it was because of the white fog. The only thing they could know was that the house was not big, only seven or eight square meters at most.

"It went in."

Seeing the monster in front walk directly into the room, Chu Lie and the other three looked at each other.

Under the strong light around the house, they could roughly see each other's outlines.

"Want to follow?"

Chu Lie was a little hesitant. In such a small environment, he was afraid that death would limit their strength.

Yin Songbai thought for a moment and said:

"I'll summon the mud giant and test it out first."

After saying that, Yin Songbai directly used his skills to summon a huge mud giant.

Perhaps because the environment here is quite special, the mud giant he summoned this time is even larger than last time.

Yin Songbai did not send the mud giant directly into the room to test it. Instead, he asked the mud giant to split into a small mud man and let the small mud man enter the room first.

After all, he could only summon one mud giant in a short period of time, so he had to be cautious.

Yin Songbai watched the little clay figure enter the room, waiting for a battle to break out inside.

However, after waiting for a while, the imagined battle did not happen, and the little clay man even ran back safely.

And because he was the summoner, Yin Songbai was able to roughly understand what the mud giant meant.

"Are the people inside one of us?"

After Yin Songbai understood what the mud giant wanted to express, he was stunned.

Chu Lie and the other two were also a little confused after hearing Yin Songbai's words.

"That thing is the captain?"

Chu Lie was a little suspicious.

Yin Songbai frowned, obviously a little unsure. After all, the shape of the shadow had nothing to do with Qin Yuan.

Finally, Yin Songbai decided to go in and take a look.

Chu Lie and the other two did not let Yin Songbai take the risk alone, but the four of them walked towards the open door of the room together.

The first person to enter the room was the mud giant. After letting the mud giant block the door, Yin Songbai followed him into the room.

The room seemed to be completely isolated from the fog outside, and there was not a trace of fog inside.

This made Yin Songbai, who suddenly regained his vision, stunned for a moment.

However, his attention was soon drawn to another person in the room.

Qin Yuan, who is wearing a black fish with sharp teeth.

Qin Yuan was seen holding a black stone sword, allowing the sharp-toothed black fish to keep biting him, but it couldn't even bite through his clothes.

The continuous crunching sounds proved that these sharp-toothed black fish were still working hard.

Qin Yuan, who was bitten, didn't care about the sharp-toothed black fish on his body at all. He was concentrating on studying a strange puzzle piece under his feet.

The twisting shadows they saw before were the tails of these black fish.

Hua Hongan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead when he saw this:
"It turns out that I was scaring myself."

"I thought we were switched by a monster without the captain's knowledge."

"Fortunately it was just a false alarm."

Yin Songbai: “.”

Chu Lie: “.”
