The essence of this thing is still a swamp, but there is no grass growing in it. The mud and water mixed together and turned completely purple-black. From time to time, a bubble would emerge from it, and when the bubble came to the surface, it felt extremely sticky, as if it had to struggle and endure for a long time before exploding with a "bo" sound. A wisp of white mist would strangely emerge from the bubble, and even form a distorted ghost face in the air before dissipating.
Considering that anything could happen on the battlefield, Du Yuqi hesitated for a moment, and decisively stepped into the poisonous swamp to try. He found that if he accidentally fell into the swamp, the mud was not deep, at most up to the calf, but his movement would be restricted to a considerable extent.
At the same time, the parts of his feet that touched the mud immediately felt numb and tingling, and it was spreading upwards little by little! When Du Yuqi stayed in there for about eight minutes, his toes had been corroded by the toxins and lost consciousness.
The power of this poison cannot be underestimated. No matter if it is a human or a beast, once it stays in there for too long, the poison will spread to the lungs. Once the lungs are paralyzed, it will be impossible to breathe! Death is just a matter of seconds, and the consequences of heart paralysis are beyond words.
Fortunately, once leaving the poisonous swamp, as a professional, Du Yuqi's own force/mental power will be automatically activated to continuously force the toxin out of the body, saving the trouble of detoxification.
Du Yuqi also roughly estimated that he could only stay in this poisonous swamp for half an hour at most, because once the poison spread to the ankles and affected his escape speed, it would be very dangerous.
After entering the Black Forest and walking for another hour, Du Yuqi began to realize that something was wrong, because along the way, before entering the Black Forest, he was attacked by several waves of crazy Dark Curse Cat Demons. After entering the Dark Curse Cat Demon's hometown, it seemed calm and safe. Such a strange thing was definitely not normal!
At this time, Du Yuqi calculated that Tuguan said that he could only stay in this world for five days at most, and it would not be too long before he returned. Before that, he and the coalition forces were also on the same boat, and he also gained a lot of benefits from the Creek tribe. So he took the initiative to find Jet and expressed his concerns.
Before Jet had time to look for his uncle, he saw that the entire coalition army seemed to be in some chaos. Then a "woo woo woo" horn sounded from the front. As soon as the horn sounded, both the cat demons and goblins stopped advancing at the same time and began to gather towards the place where the horn sounded.
Du Yuqi looked around and found that there were not too many tall trees here, but there were many shrubs about one meter tall, like a bunch of black umbrellas that had been opened and stuck in the ground. There was not a single piece of green grass on the ground. All of them were like vines growing close to the ground, like "carnivorous" plants such as pitcher plants and sundews, with twisted tentacles. After pinching off one of them, the smell of the broken surface was so spicy and pungent that it even made people dizzy.
"This isn't a good place to stop."
Du Yuqi frowned, stroking the black ring on his finger and pondered.
However, Du Yuqi was just a passer-by. He had no way to influence the actions of the coalition forces. More importantly, the reason why the coalition forces suddenly stopped was probably because the goblin elder Hoss, who was good at using ancestral magic to predict the future, saw some ominous signs.
It was night time and visibility was very poor. It was still at least two or three hours before daybreak. Although the Red Goblins lit fires everywhere for illumination as soon as the entire coalition force stopped, and almost everyone lit torches, the light was still very dim and weak, and visibility could only reach 20 to 30 meters at most.
Soon, orders came from above. The people on the periphery were responsible for guarding, while the people in the inner circle began to sit down to rest and eat.
Then Du Yuqi knew why they stopped here. It was because there was fog in the Black Forest. No one knew when the fog started. It seemed to appear in front of people in the blink of an eye, wandering in the gaps between the woods, grass, and bushes. It conquered people's sight inadvertently, and finally pounced on them quietly, penetrating deep into everyone's internal organs through their breath!
Obviously, Elder Hoss, who was able to sense the crisis, saw this scene and ordered the team to retreat and defend. At the same time, he let most of the people get a rest and the people in the outer circle took turns. No matter whether they were goblin warriors or cat demons, as long as there was sufficient food supply, they could quickly recover their physical strength and energy in a short rest.
In the current situation, it can be said that there is nothing wrong with Elder Hoss issuing such an order. Even if any emergency arises, they can wait for the opportunity to arrive and take advantage of the favorable location and people. This is a manifestation of maturity and prudence, and no one can find any fault with it.
However, Du Yuqi always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
This feeling of uneasiness began to grow in his heart since he saw the dense fog, and then sprouted and grew. Du Yuqi didn't know why he was so afraid of this sudden fog. Perhaps it was because the rat-headed man who killed people wantonly in the fog last time left a deep impression on Du Yuqi.
The fog is getting thicker!
The uneasy feeling in Du Yuqi's heart seemed to be fermenting and growing. He took a deep breath, then took out a piece of chocolate from the dimensional ring, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, letting the bitter milky aroma linger in his mouth and replenishing his strength.
Then, Du Yuqi took out the curare wood mixture he brought from Earth, and silently and without making any sound, slowly smeared it on the dagger he carried with him. This dagger was specially ordered by him from Taobao. It was thin, fast and sharp. The plan at that time was to use it as a scalpel in normal times, and as a dagger in battle!
Suddenly, some orders should have been issued from the center of the camp. There should be a way for the goblins to quickly pass messages between each other. Then, the goblins in the west stood up densely. Most of the goblin warriors held spears, and a small number of muscular men like centurions held stones, ready to go!
The eyes of more than a hundred people were all focused on the thick fog rolling in the west.
