Hunting in the swamp is much harder than Bai Xiao expected.

This environment, which is very different from the snow-capped mountains, did cause him a lot of trouble, and many of the original poem's predictions were almost perfectly fulfilled.

The air is humid and stuffy, and a large number of spore plants spray out colorful mist and miasma. Once it penetrates deeper, it may be infected with highly toxic spores in every breath.

There is almost no clean water source. All the rivers and ponds in the swamp are occupied by various microorganisms. They are dazzling in color, but they exudes naked toxicity.

In addition, all living things in the swamps seem to have a strong hostility towards humans. The branches of trees will seep into strong acid juice and constantly tangle them. Mosquitoes in the forest are everywhere, and their slender mouthparts are not only sharp, but also contain highly toxic saliva.

Of course, there is no reliable food supply.

Whether it is the colorful fruits on the trees or various fungi, they obviously do not have edible value, and even the body fluids and tissues of birds and animals are highly corrosive.

From the moment I stepped into the black swamp, it seemed that everything in the world had become enemies, and I had to fight against everything around me every step forward.

And for a whole day, he continued to deepen along the vague spiritual aura in the swamp, but never found a more valuable clue. It seemed that this swamp had already known his arrival and his purpose, and he would deliberately eliminate clues at many key nodes, making hunting even more difficult.

Bai Xiao had never seen such an environment that was unfriendly to humans. Even if it was the holy mountain where the mountain was closed, the environment was harsh but not so vicious. After going deep into the black swamp, it really opened his horizons.

In the dark forest, Yuan Shi held a thick layer of ancient books in his hand, and explained while looking through it: "The Black Swamp was originally called a curse by the locals. The ecosystem is a very complete closed-loop structure and does not welcome any outsiders. The first group of immigrants to the swamp were a group of lawless demon thugs who were lawless in the border counties. They originally planned to build a paradise like a villain in the corner of the border counties, but after half a year, they were almost wiped out near the swamps. Then after hundreds of years of development of the empire, people barely established a safe and reliable settlement area outside the swamps. Over the past few hundred years, the struggle between man and nature has been the mainstream of the local area... So do you understand? Now you are like the Qin army that invaded the snow mountain a hundred years ago."

In reality, Gao Yan said: "In recent years, even the most wise magicians will not easily go deep into the black swamp alone. You have seen how harsh the environment of the swamp is. The magical environment is even more harsh. It is still too late to regret it now."

Bai Xiao turned around, looked at Gao Yan, who was covered in sweat and was covered in embarrassment, and said, "You go back first."

Gao Yan suddenly became furious and said, "What are you saying? I am the person in charge of the hunting operation! Do you want me to go back?"

Bai Xiao ignored the so-called jokes of the person in charge, carefully observed Gao Yan's vital signs, and said, "You are almost dead."

"Fart! You're almost dead! Cough cough cough..."

Before Gao Yan finished speaking, he started coughing violently, and purple mist vaguely spurted out from his mouth and nose.

Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment: "Are you infected?!"

Gao Yan originally planned to deny it, but looking at the purple saliva on his hand, he had to say in a deep voice: "It's just a small problem. I brought an antidote, just to save use, and I didn't use enough dose... I don't need to worry about me, so I'd better take care of yourself."

However, before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but kneel down to the ground, coughing even more violently, his face turned pale in an instant, and then turned purple.

When his life was at stake, Gao Yan did not dare to show off his strength anymore. He quickly took out an antidote from his pocket and injected it into his neck. His face suddenly regained blood. His demonized body began to quickly regain his vitality, but his entire energy and spirit were obviously weakened a lot.

Bai Xiao could only sincerely suggest again: "You'd better go back, it's too tiring."

Gao Yan was really unable to get angry, so he could only softly raise a middle finger to Bai Xiao: "When I was chasing all obstacles in the wasteland, you kid didn't know where you were..."

Bai Xiao nodded: "Then you continue to overcome all obstacles, I'll take the lead."

Gao Yan spat, then turned his head and closed his eyes slightly, as if everything was under control, showing his tough guy's true nature.

Shortly after Bai Xiao left, Gao Yan opened his eyes and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

When I was walking with Bai Xiao, I didn’t feel that after I was alone, the depths of the swamp seemed even more gloomy and terrifying. Even if the master of the Demonic Dao went deep into this place alone, there was a possibility of a failure. Moreover, Gao Yan was far from the master's level of demonic Dao attainments.

"Ha, it doesn't matter. The so-called magical cultivation is just an excuse for soft men to comfort themselves. Real warriors rely on rich experience and tenacious willpower. I have seen this situation a lot, so..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a rustling sound of bushes not far away.

Gao Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and his slender eyes burst out with sharp light. Then he raised his right hand and the entire bush collapsed with a bang. Countless purple-black plant juices burst out with squeezing, but were firmly bound to the ground by gravity.

However, Gao Yan did not find what he was looking for.

“Not here?!”

The next moment, Gao Yan felt the hair on the back of his neck explode. With his instinctive warning, he jumped forward with a fish, and his body flew forward more than ten meters like a ghost. At the same time, there was a loud bang behind him, and a huge sporang fell from his head, breaking and bursting out yellow fog in the sky after it landed on the ground.

"grass……"

Gao Yan quickly lifted up a filter on the soft armor on his neck to cover his mouth and nose.

As a general in the border county, he has all his magic tools, and is equipped with very complete outdoor survival props in all inlayed parts. This filter is used to deal with the poisonous environment.

But there is never a truly invincible magic tool in the world. Moreover, since entering this swamp, Gao Yan found that the magic tool on his body had problems, so he did not dare to have too high confidence in this filter.

However, Gao Yan was on guard for a while, but no accidents happened.

All the highly toxic spores that were permeated in the air were purified by the filter, and the infection symptoms in his body gradually eased with the effect of the antidote... as if everything had returned to normal.

But Gao Yan's mood became even more nervous.

The opponent is even more cunning than expected.

It did not catch this obvious flaw in solitude, nor was it in a hurry to target the weak point where its infection symptoms had not been lifted, but chose this harassment war without a trace.

That would be really troublesome.

The other party is obviously a protophyte in the swamp area, and his environmental adaptability is far beyond his own comparison. Every minute and every second he stays in this swamp is consumed! And he cannot afford it!

For example, the filter on his chest is already a little overwhelmed. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have put himself in infection symptoms in order to save the filter.

If he drags on, his magic tools will become invalid one by one, and then...

Just as Gao Yanxin was alert, a heart-wrenching murderous intent suddenly erupted from a distance, which even made him, the general of all battles, feel chill.

The scream of a wild beast's dying aroused countless creatures lurking around. The strange-shaped plants, huge fungi as big as towers, all swayed and trembled, as if responding to this murderous intent!

And the next moment, an extremely familiar voice came from the top of my head.

"Catched."

Bai Xiao jumped down from mid-air, and a half-human-long lizard pierced the snow-white bone spear. Purple-black blood flowed on the ground, bursting out a series of corrosive sounds.

Gao Yan stared blankly as Bai Xiao walked slowly, and then stared blankly as he used his bone blade to peel off the lizard's outer skin, separate the internal organs, and carefully observe the internal structure...

He couldn't even say a word during the whole process.

This guy did it on purpose from the beginning?!

He actually dared to use me as bait to lead the snake out of the hole!?

In his eyes, my dignified general of the Yushan Army is just a bait!?

Thinking of this, Gao Yan couldn't speak, he couldn't breathe, and his face turned purple.

Seeing this strange situation, Bai Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "Even bait can be breathless, you really should go back."
