Objectively speaking, General Gao Yan under normal forms is still very useful.

During the previous day of hunting, it is already commendable that he was able to keep up with Bai Xiao's pace and not fall behind. In addition, he can also make some very valuable suggestions from time to time.

For example, avoiding open areas and staying away from general water sources... These are wise moves taken at Gao Yan's suggestion. Bai Xiao later discovered that in the black swamp, open areas always hide the most risks, because it means that no creature can survive in this area. The general water sources are settlements of poisonous insects and beasts, and outsiders cannot drink swamp water at all.

He was at least more familiar with this swamp than Bai Xiao, and even more so than Yuan Shi, a erudite master in the biochemical field. After he woke up, he was able to realize that Bai Xiao used the outer membrane of the internal organs to filter toxins at the first time, which proved that he had actually thought of this method.

"Nonsense, I am a native of a border county after all, how could I not know the most dangerous black swamp in a border county?" Gao Yan said, "What's more, I was determined to be a scholar. When I was studying in the Brilliant Valley, I was a doctoral student. In the border county, it was a precious title that was not inferior to princes and nobles!"

Bai Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you end up being a general?"

Gao Yan was silent for a moment and sighed: "Good is so good."

Bai Xiao immediately understood: "Didn't pass the exam?"

Gao Yan was furious: "You can't chat, just shut up!"

Bai Xiao nodded and said no more. After all, he was really not interested in the historical pain that teased a middle-aged ugly man.

On the other side, Gao Yan was so angry that he was so angry that you little bastard, you tease someone and then ignore it? What do you think of my dignified general of Yushan Army? What's more, I was really knowledgeable and talented back then. When I applied for a doctoral degree, even the mentor who had always been strict in his mind felt that he was sure to win, but...

"I'm just in a bad state for a while."

Bai Xiao said oh, ignoring this general who is never in a state.

Gao Yan was not willing to give up: "Don't you believe it? Then you can take the test for me. Any knowledge about border counties is fine. If I can fail the test, I will lose!"

Bai Xiao asked, "What happened to the Beast King's early awakening this time?"

"...I'd be a big prophet if I even know this, I'm not a cadet, but a great prophet!"

"Oh, what's going on with sand beasts appearing frequently recently?"

"This matter is still under investigation, and it is initially suspected that it is also related to the awakening of the Beast King."

Bai Xiao waited for a while and confirmed that this was the full answer of the quasi-doctoral fellow. He said oh, thinking that the magistrate of the county here seemed to be similar to mine.

I, an outsider, can also feel the series of changes in the border counties. There must be the same reason behind it, so I want to follow this clue to follow it.

At this moment, a sharp plant breaks and breaks suddenly came from the distance of the swamp, as if a large area of ​​woodland was trampled by giant beasts, and then a blood-red spore mist rose into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.

Bai Xiao did not hesitate and immediately rushed to the direction of change with all his might!

"You... Forget it." Gao Yan originally wanted to persuade him, but then he followed him.

This swamp is definitely a very dangerous place for a real philanthropist, and even a master of magic will not easily take risks. Correspondingly, almost every few years, there are some so-called professionals who are self-reliant and have ambitions to break into the swamp and die without any corpse.

It is better to fight quickly than to have a long night and dreams. Since there is a change in the distance... it is better to rush to the scene quickly than to be consumed bit by bit in the swamp slowly!

Nowadays, Gao Yan, a field expert, is not very bad, his strength is still retained at least 90% of his strength, but he has used a lot of supplies... Moreover, the previous spore infection made his physical distance closer and closer. I thought he could hold on for at least a few more months, but now it seems that he can no longer delay.

And the most important thing is... he can't watch a teenager, Hongshan, rushing forward in the swamp, but he, a dignified general from the border county, he hesitated behind him!

"That boy, I don't know how terrifying this swamp is..."

——

Bai Xiao quickly learned about another amazing feature of the Everglades.

He began to get lost.

Getting lost is inevitable in any complex geographical environment. People mostly rely on vision to judge their own route, and vision is one of the most easily misleading senses by the environment.

The hostility of this swamp towards foreign creatures is overflowing, so there are many scenes that mislead the senses. If you are in it, you will completely lose your direction if you are not careful.

As a snow mountain hunter, Bai Xiao is also a master who has experienced the test of complex environments. He can maintain his progress trajectory very accurately and have a clear and comprehensive understanding of the surrounding environment. There is always an accurate three-dimensional map in his mind.

But this map showed signs of failure in the swamp.

Because things around you change so quickly!

Since crossing a certain boundary, the swamp has become even more vicious!

Everything around was moving, from tall trees to low shrubs, their rhizomes were slowly squirming! Even the soil changed its position little by little as the roots buried deep in it crawled.

The deeper you go into the swamp, the faster the scenery around you changes. The three-dimensional map in your mind is like being stirred up hard, gradually turning into a mess.

If you move along the ground, you will soon lose your direction, let alone even if you really determine the direction? At the speed of environmental changes, when he arrives straight at the scene, the scene may have gone wherever you go!

Flying into the air is also not feasible.

Bai Xiao once tried to leap into the air or climb along the tall trees to the commanding heights... But the spore mist of this swamp greatly obscured the view. Moreover, it was clearly a swamp, but there were extremely dense tall fungi and trees, supporting a dome covering that blocked the view, and this dome covering changed continuously. Looking down from the height, the swamp was like a pot of boiling highly toxic and thick porridge, with various colors constantly stirring in the porridge pot.

After galloping for an hour, Bai Xiao suddenly stopped.

"Tsk, it's trouble."

The surrounding landscape finally exceeded control. He tried several times to build a road map in his mind, but all ended in failure. In other words...

He finally got lost.

Looking around and looking at the changing scenery, Bai Xiao couldn't even tell where the place where the loud noise had happened before was.

...This result cannot be said to be completely unexpected. In fact, it is precisely because of the long night and many dreams that Bai Xiao chose to go all out and go straight to the scene, but unfortunately he still couldn't get through in the end.

At this moment, a rapid panting sound came from behind him. Gao Yan staggered with a pale face, and said intermittently in his mouth: "As early, tell you, don't, run so fast...it's useless."

Bai Xiao had no choice but to ask: "What suggestions do you have?"

Gao Yan stretched out his finger and pointed to a large tree walking slowly beside him: "Follow it."

After a pause, Gao Yan explained: "The tree is a hunter in the swamp and a scavenger... It is a local creature, familiar with the rules of swamps, and will take us to the hunting site."

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment and gave Gao Yan's analysis back to the original poem in the dark forest.

Yuan Shi held the Third Magic Book and showed a sudden look: "So that's it! That makes sense! I didn't expect that the old guy is really not a pure funny character! Bai Xiao, please follow his advice, but be sure to give me what you hear and see as soon as possible!"

With Yuan Shi's guarantee, Bai Xiao followed Gao Yan's advice and followed a walking tree.

The tree is thirty meters high, but it can only be considered a medium figure in the swamp and moves quite slowly... But after following it for half a day, Bai Xiao found that this was indeed much more useful than rushing straight to the ground.

The trajectory of the big tree was winding, but along the way, the scenery quickly changed from before, and the bizarre color tone of the swamp was gradually replaced by a neat darkness.

The giant trees and giant fungi around became increasingly dense, and the canopy covered the sky and the sun, making Bai Xiao feel as if he had come to the dark forest in reality.

In addition, the smell of blood, death and decay can be vaguely smelled in the air.

"It's not far away."

Gao Yan followed Bai Xiao and made a judgment.

The general narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the grass and trees around him: "The breath of death is very strong, and the place where the change occurred should be nearby."

After a pause, Gao Yan said again: "But, I'm afraid we can only rely on ourselves next. This tree no longer dares to move forward."

At this time, the big tree they followed had stopped migrating and pierced its roots deep into the soil. Soon, Bai Xiao could vaguely see purple-red liquid pouring into the branches from the ground along the root veins, making this somewhat dry tree quickly become lush.

But after absorbing enough nutrients, the big tree immediately pulled out its roots and started to migrate again.

"The scavenging plants in the swamps usually only dare to get close to this level." Gao Yan said, "Then we have to explore it ourselves... so close, does your nose smell anything?"

Bai Xiao did smell something.

When he reached the depths of the swamp, he smelled the spiritual breath again.

Outside the swamp, at the scene of the death of the Grey Leaf Valley Expedition Team, two spiritual auras were left behind, one of which was a dead corrupt cheetah, and the other permeated here, hiding in the depths of the swamp.

"I'll try it."

Bai Xiao wrinkled his nose and gradually penetrated deeper along the direction of the smell.

Just as he was about to take a step, the soil under his feet burst, and a mountain-like giant beast rushed out from the ground, opening his bloody mouth and swallowing Bai Xiao into it!
