Good news.
Su Bai's spirits lifted.
If the distance is too far, he will have to abandon this mission.
Without adequate preparation, traversing a contaminated area is no less dangerous than falling into a deep nightmare.
"Follow my footsteps and nod carefully."
Su Bai reminded him.
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up, but all they could see was a dark blur.
Only cuttlefish can see some things clearly.
Instantly, his pupils contracted, revealing an extremely unpleasant expression, wishing he didn't have this unique vision at that moment.
Su Bai has already taken the lead in moving through the swamp.
He knew the rules of the polluted land well, and he knew where the safe zones to walk were and where the deadly traps were.
The crowd followed in his footsteps.
In a short time.
Aside from the ever-increasing erosion from the toxins, they didn't encounter any real danger.
Soon, under an ancient tree, Su Bai caught a glimpse of purple light. Upon closer inspection, it was a plant over a foot tall, entirely dark green, with a dozen or so small leaves, and a shimmering purple bud at its tip, shrouded in a faint light, standing alone in the swamp full of poisonous creatures.
This was precisely the objective he was searching for on this journey—the snake venom flower.
However, as the name suggests, this thing is related to snakes, and in areas where snake venom flowers bloom, there are often deadly threats lurking.
"Don't move."
Su Bai only said.
Having said that, he found a safe path and slowly approached the snake-venom flower.
hiss!
Just as he approached the snake venom flower less than three meters away, a hiss suddenly rang out, and a dark shadow flickered its dark green tongue and pounced on Su Bai in an instant.
-5526!
A large section of the shield above his head instantly fell off.
But Su Bai remained calm. He didn't even use any skills; he simply pulled the monster that was pouncing on him up.
The strange, slippery sensation between his fingers made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
When they finally saw what the monster looked like, everyone was utterly shocked.
The monster's true form was a snake, its body covered in slippery mucus, yet it was adorned with distinct black and white human eyeballs, like parasites feeding on its flesh, wriggling and trembling.
"Huh!!"
Everyone wore an indescribable expression.
Upon seeing his 'old friend' again, Su Bai remained relatively calm. He grabbed the snake's head with one hand and wrapped the snake's body with the other, then suddenly pulled hard and snapped it in two.
He casually tossed the severed snake body aside, and a few bubbles rose in the swamp before quickly swallowing it.
This thing is just a regular monster.
Furthermore, it has significantly less health than a regular monster.
They die almost instantly upon contact.
However, all of its attributes are extremely focused on attack.
As we just saw, it gnawed away more than 5,000 of Su Bai's shield in one bite. This damage would have been an instant kill for anyone else, and even Ning Hongchen would have been seriously injured.
Su Bai glanced around.
There are at least two more 'grotesque snakes' lurking around this venomous flower.
However, despite discovering their presence, he couldn't simply use magic to kill them, because the magical fluctuations would disturb more monsters. Besides the two grotesque snakes before him, there were many, many more above their heads...
Su Bai continued to approach.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow attacked again.
He had no choice but to intercept it beforehand without alerting the other monsters, so he had to take one attack head-on to make the monster reveal itself.
Do the same thing.
Su Bai, without changing his expression, crushed the grotesque snake that pounced on him.
He was already very close, crouched down, and used the Omnipotent Harvest Technique directly on the snake venom flower from a distance.
Just then, the tightly closed flower bud suddenly burst open, spitting out a beam of black light that rushed straight toward his face. There was also a bizarre snake hidden inside the flower bud, waiting for him to be picked before suddenly darting out!
Snap!
What awaited it was Su Bai's hands suddenly clasped together.
If he can't handle this at such close range, then the past few years of his life could be considered wasted.
The grotesque snake that had launched the sneak attack was smashed to pieces with a single slap. The splattered dark green liquid was blocked by a thin white barrier, leaving no trace of dirt on his body.
Su Bai then uprooted the blooming snake venom flower.
Four plants are still needed.
Su Bai returned the way he came and continued to lead the group.
Snake venom flower is not uncommon here; it's a fairly common material with few uses. Once he had gathered the required quantity for the mission, he didn't linger there any longer.
soon.
The ground beneath my feet gradually became solid and firm.
Without the canopy of trees to block out the view, the field of vision seemed to open up all at once—although all that could be seen was still a lifeless, gray-green landscape.
Ahead, amidst the dark green vegetation of the mountains, several dilapidated wooden houses can be vaguely seen.
We've emerged from the swamp.
They were already very close to the place he was looking for.
"Phew... This place is too eerie. Tell us honestly, how many more of these maps are there in this dilapidated secret realm?"
Ning Hongchen complained.
“...”
Su Bai thought about it seriously for a while after hearing this.
He said softly, "What you should be asking is whether there's a proper map in this secret realm..."
Chaotic Streets
Weeping Cemetery
Polluted land
These three outer areas alone are already more hellish than the last.
