Chapter 271 There Are Rotten Corpses

Chapter 271 There Are Rotten Corpses

Walking out of the passage, there is another pool of water that looks very deep and cold.

This morning I have to jump in for a swim again, just thinking about Chi Zhenzhen makes my bones feel cold.

"Luo Gu, he is Archie, he will lead you up the mountain." The little elder looked at the people standing outside the passage and said.

The orc named Archie nodded and said hello to them.

Chi Zhenzhen took a look at him, he was a very simple-looking person, with strong muscles, he felt quite capable of fighting.

"I'll take you to the bottom of the mountain." After finishing speaking, the little elder jumped into the water, and Sisi followed suit.

Chi Zhenzhen couldn't help being excited, and walked to the water's edge with Luo Gu.

"I'll take my time first." Chi Zhenzhen couldn't stand it and jumped into the water all at once.

"Luogu's consort, Lanzhu!" Sisi, who jumped into the water, floated up to remind her.

Only then did Chi Zhenzhen realize that he should keep the blue beads in his mouth so that he would not be afraid to swim for a long time.

After holding the blue beads, Chi Zhenzhen followed Luo Gu into the water, and she didn't know if it was because of the blue beads, but she felt that the water temperature was not too cold, so she quickly adapted to it.

After swimming for a while, Chi Zhenzhen saw the big fish named Qingsha Ghost Fish again, that big fish was not far from them, staring at them with big round eyes, quite scary.

Originally thought that after swimming out of the pool, they would see Bi Zhuo and Xiao Zai, but they didn't expect to see a different scene after landing.

There is a road on this bank specially used to go up the mountain. The road looks easy to walk, but looking up, it is a layer of miasma.

"This is the special way up the mountain." The little elder looked at the road and said, "I'll wait for you to come back here."

Luo Gu hummed, but did not rush towards that road. Instead, he took out a towel from his backpack and helped Chi Zhenzhen wipe off the water on his body first.

Seeing the little elder, he frowned and reminded: "Luo Gu, remember that you must go down the mountain when the sun is at its highest."

This is the third time the little elder said this, and Chi Zhenzhen kept this time firmly in his mind to remind Luo Gu.

After wiping off most of the water, they started up the hill.

Archie leads the way, Siss follows behind.

Luo Gu supported her to climb up, the more he went up, the black air became denser and denser, at the beginning it was just strands around them, but within a few steps they were surrounded by the black air.

These miasmas don't have any unpleasant smell, but the humidity is high.

Chi Zhenzhen looked around while walking. This was still on the way up the mountain, and the miasma was so big that people couldn't see the left and right clearly.

If it's the same when you go up the mountain, how can you find the beast?

"Why is there more and more miasma here?" At this moment, Archie, who was leading the way, said.

"You haven't been on the mountain for a long time, right?" Sis snorted softly from behind and mocked him.

Archie was not angry because of her tone: "No, I feel something is wrong with this miasma."

Hearing what the two of them said, Chi Zhenzhen frowned and looked at Luo Gu, his face was calm, as if he was not surprised by the amount of miasma.

"What's wrong?" Sissy walked up quickly and asked.

Archie frowned, but couldn't tell why.

"Isn't it just that there is too much miasma? We all have beads given by the little elder on our bodies. What are we afraid of?" Sisi looked at his reaction with disdain, "If you don't want to lead the way, let me come."

"Sis, you lead the way." As soon as the words fell, Luo Gu opened his mouth.

Archie's complexion changed, and he quickly said, "No, no, I know this place very well."

These words made Chi Zhenzhen narrow his eyes, it seems...

She didn't think much about it, and waited until she reached the mountain.

All the way up, the miasma was getting bigger and bigger, but when it was about to reach the top of the mountain, the surrounding miasma gradually became smaller, at least the visibility was much higher, and a few trees in the distance could be seen.

There are also patches of woods on the mountain. Not to mention that these trees are growing well, they have not been affected by the miasma at all.

But this also made Chi Zhenzhen a little puzzled. It stands to reason that miasma usually occurs in the mountains, and it is a gas formed by the decay of animals and plants. As far as it is concerned, these trees are growing well without any signs of decay.

Furthermore, she hasn't seen any rotting animal corpses so far, and she hasn't seen any animal corpses other than plants.

Since there are no rotting animal carcasses, the miasma will definitely disappear slowly instead of remaining so dense.

Unless, there are rotten things on this mountain that they can't see.

Chi Zhenzhen suppressed these thoughts, now is not the time to think about this, he must find the traces of the fierce beast quickly.

"This way!" At this moment, Sisi shouted, pointing in one direction.

When Archie saw it, he refuted her: "You can't go over there, there is a source of water over there."

"Why can't you go where there is a water source?" Chi Zhenzhen asked aloud. In an unfamiliar place, finding a water flow is equivalent to finding a direction.

"The closer to the water source, the bigger the miasma. The miasma on this mountain is all born from the water." Archie explained.

"In the water?" Chi Zhenzhen was a little surprised. This is the first time I heard this statement. Could it be that there are rotten corpses in the water?
But this idea is not valid. If the water flow on this mountain extends in all directions, there must be psychic waterfalls at the end.

The water quality of these waterfalls is very good and clear. It makes no sense that these polluted water can become clean after falling from the waterfalls.

"It doesn't matter, my intuition tells me that I want to go this way!" Sisi shouted firmly.

"Then go this way." Luo Gu glanced in the direction she pointed.

"But……"

Luo Gu glanced at him coldly, and Archie immediately fell silent.

Seeing Archie's tangled expression, Chi Zhenzhen asked, "Is it just the four of us who are on the top of this mountain now?"

"Yes." Archie didn't know why she asked that.

"That's right." Chi Zhenzhen smiled at him, "If we don't tell you, if you don't tell me, how will the little elder know our trajectory on this mountain?"

Archie's face was startled, as if he had been exposed to a guilty conscience.

Luo Gu squeezed Chi Zhenzhen's hand with a displeased expression.

Khan, it's just a few words, it's all jealous.

Chi Zhenzhen shrugged and was pulled forward by Luo Gu.

This time Sisi was leading the way. Her speed was not slow, as if she was heading in a certain direction.

And around the direction she was going, there was less and less miasma, and she could even see the bright sun when she looked up.

This smaller and smaller miasma is exactly the opposite of what Archie said just now, but there is no water source yet, and there are trees, weeds and lingering miasma everywhere.

Sisi's speed was getting faster and faster, and Chi Zhenzhen could hardly keep up with her pace. Finally, she was hugged by Luo Gu before she caught up with Sisi's speed.

"Siss, where are you going?!" Archie followed all the way, unable to stop her.
