Before, Du Yuqi just wanted to kill the remaining time by himself, so he just chose a place to walk to and delay the time until his return. Now that Jet is here, he has to consider his safety, so he follows Duize's instructions and walks west. After walking for a while, he realized that he was actually going back the way he came!
Jet was shocked, but Du Yuqi came to his senses immediately and praised it as wonderful. Now the son of Ramis and the people of Porter Mercenary Group were very angry and must be chasing and killing in all directions to vent their anger. If he and Jet did the opposite, they would naturally be able to successfully avoid the large army. At the same time, it could be basically confirmed that there was no threat from indigenous monsters in the places where they had fought before. In this way, of course, the safety factor would be greatly increased.
After that, the two of them continued on their journey together, and nothing serious happened, except that they discovered danger twice on the way and hid in advance. Naturally, the two of them would chat while moving forward, and Du Yuqi learned that: when the coalition forces were dispersed, Jet decisively took a group of goblin warriors to cover their retreat and protect the elders and the rest of the people from breaking through. Needless to say, this group of people who were left behind suffered heavy casualties. Jet barely escaped thanks to the fact that several of his trusted brothers risked their lives to cover him, but he was hunted down by Duize again.
Soon the sky was getting light. The two had walked at least dozens of miles at this time and found a huge poisonous swamp in front of them. However, this poisonous swamp looked a little strange. White mist was coming out of it, and the muddy water in the swamp was also light purple, not that dark.
Seeing this swamp, Jet said "Oh" while eating melon seeds:
"This is Mud Navel Island."
Du Yuqi didn't say much along the way, and seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Jet's words, his eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"Is this the sacred place of the cat demon, Mud Navel Island?"
Jeter said:
"Yes, we should not stay here, let's leave as soon as possible, be careful of the pursuers behind us."
Du Yuqi stroked the black dimensional ring on his finger and said meaningfully:
"It's daybreak."
Jet was surprised and said:
"Yeah, I saw that too, so?"
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
“So I think even if the Sons of Ramis knew our whereabouts, they might not be free to come find us now.”
Jet said:
"What?"
Du Yuqi avoided answering and looked deeply at the poisonous swamp in front of him:
"I want to go up and take a look. Isn't this the final destination we set before we set out?"
Jeter spread his hands and said:
"Oh, God, you must be crazy, brother. What we should do now is to find a good place to hide and find some delicious food! But there is no other way. If you insist on your point of view, I will go with you - although I think this matter is meaningless."
Du Yuqi smiled and said:
"Don't you want to know the truth about why the Dark Curse Cat Demon went mad? And ever since I met Duize, I feel that the clues I got are enough. I just need to go to Mud Navel Island to verify one thing, and then all the links will fit together perfectly, and everything that happened will have a perfect explanation."
"Okay, okay..." Jeter sighed and said, "I will go with you, but I still think that what you are doing is a waste of time and will only bring trouble to yourself!"
Du Yuqi tentatively stepped into the poisonous swamp in front of him and immediately felt a slight tingling sensation on his skin, but it was obviously not as strong as other poisonous swamps. This was probably because enough hot spring water had seeped into it to dilute it. Therefore, according to Du Yuqi's estimation, he could walk in it for at least an hour before being poisoned to the point of endangering his life.
After he and Jet went four or five hundred meters deep into the poisonous swamp, they found that it was indeed incredibly large, with a feeling that there was no end in sight. However, there was actually a strange fishy smell emanating from the poisonous swamp. After smelling this fishy smell, Jet's face became a little solemn:
"Be careful, there is probably danger here, this is the smell of a rotting corpse!!"
Sure enough, after the two continued walking forward for a mile or two, they saw many corpses floating on the surface of the poisonous swamp in front of them. When they got a little closer, the smell was enough to make people collapse. From a distance, they could vaguely see that these corpses were all those of the Cursed Cat Demon, and they had begun to rot.
Fortunately, Du Yuqi had masks and gloves prepared for surgery in his dimensional ring. He took them out and put them on, then walked over to check. Jet wanted to move forward, but before he got close, his face turned completely blue, and he was knocked back by the smoke. It was obvious that he was also feeling nauseous.
After a while, Du Yuqi left the floating corpses and walked back. Of course, his face looked very bad. He and Jet walked two or three hundred meters away. After they came to the upwind side, they took off their masks and said:
"The fur and muscles of these cursed cat demons have been soaked in water and rotted, and separated from their bones. Therefore, they have been dead for at least a week. The fatal injuries on their bodies include knife wounds, blunt force trauma, gunshot wounds, and some of them were even torn into pieces by huge force...but their claws and teeth are intact."
After hearing this, Jet's expression suddenly changed:
"Damn it, brother!"
Du Yuqi thought he had made some surprising discovery, and immediately frowned and said:
"What? Do you have any new discoveries?"
Jet said with a strange expression:
"You actually have such a special hobby for corpses! This is not a good habit. Our clan has had strict rules for thousands of years. Rotting corpses are the source of death and must be burned or buried deep!"
Du Yuqi was speechless and sighed:
"Don't you know that corpses can talk? Oh, no, no, don't look at me like that. I have nothing to do with necromancers. It's just that there is a subject in our country that specializes in corpses, and I happened to have read about it."
"The Dark Curse Cat Demon has different ways of dying, which means that the one attacking them is an extremely powerful team. There are all kinds of strong people in this team, who can use different methods to kill the enemy."
"At the same time, the Dark Curse Cat Demon uses its teeth and claws as weapons to fight. The fact that these two things are intact is like a warrior's blade that is not stained with blood. This means that the team attacking them has overwhelming strength. The Dark Curse Cat Demon's dying struggle did not cause any harm to this group of people. It was killed at will like a child in front of this group of people."
"Another very important point is that this is a highly toxic swamp, so there are almost no insects or creatures in it. Therefore, although these corpses are rotten, they are relatively well preserved. I tried to open the head of one of the corpses and found that even though the brain was rotten, it did not show the mutation symptoms in the brain of the crazy dark curse cat demon..."
