The muscle man Jeter shrugged his shoulders:

"Oh, brother, I'm not very interested in the topic you are talking about now. Let's change the topic. What do you think of the girl next to my house? I think her fangs protruding from her lips are very sexy. Or we can try going west. You can dig delicious grubs in the raspberry tree trunks. If you eat them raw, they are already juicy and delicious. If you roast them over a fire, you can experience the ** feeling..."

Du Yuqi:

"...Shut up, how long will it take us to reach Mud Navel Island?"

Jet said simply:

"I don't know either, because I've never been here... My friend, this is the holy land of the Cursed Cat Demon! It's definitely not a place you can sneak into easily."

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"In fact, after seeing the floating cat demon corpses, I think the last link has been filled in and a sufficient logical chain can be formed. However, the more intelligence and clues, the better. I can feel the water in the swamp here flowing slightly. Going in the opposite direction, there is Mud Navel Island!"

…

Twenty minutes later, the two successfully landed on Mud Navel Island, which is an island of about two or three square kilometers. Well, to be precise, it should be a flat extinct volcano. The last eruption many, many years ago probably completely exhausted its energy, so geothermally heated hot springs began to flow out of the crater continuously.

This extinct volcano is not high, only about one or two hundred meters. Hot spring water with a sulfur smell flows down from the top continuously, presenting a stepped state layer by layer. According to the information obtained before, the former crater at the top is where the dark curse cat demon hatches and raises its cubs, and the lower layers are where the dark curse cat demon soaks in the hot spring pool.

This place should have been full of vitality, with dark curse cat demons moving around everywhere, but here it was dead silent.

They continued to move forward, and then they noticed that the stench ahead was particularly strong. Then the large hot spring pool at the bottom appeared in front of them. Even Jeter, a heartless guy who didn't even take his own life seriously, was shocked...

"oh……"

He had no idea what to say next, and after a long while he murmured:

"Oh my God! What on earth is going on here?"

What appeared before them was not a huge hot spring pool at all, but a pool filled with the corpses of a large number of cursed cat demons. Although there was steam rising from the pool, it gave people a gloomy and deadly feeling!!!

Du Yuqi continued to put on the mask and went to check. He returned with a serious expression and continued to climb up with Jet.

At this time, Jet's brain felt completely shocked. He could only mechanically continue to climb up with Du Yuqi. He found that the hot spring pool platform above was still so horrible and weird. A large number of cat demon corpses were floating in it, emitting an extremely unpleasant smell of decay.

At this time, probably because the atmosphere was too strange and gloomy, Du Yuqi suddenly said:

"Now we have figured out one more thing."

Jet was shocked and said:

"What is it?"

Du Yuqi said calmly:

"That's why the coalition didn't encounter any cursed cat demons when they entered the Black Forest. It turns out that they were all bathing in the hot springs here."

Jet immediately cursed in a low voice:

"Damn it, your joke is not funny at all. I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but I always feel like something is wrong with me."

Du Yuqi said seriously:

"No, this is not an illusion. Give me another ten minutes. It should be fine in such a short time."

Neither of them actually wanted to talk, but at this moment they both felt heavy in their hearts, and were very depressed, so they instinctively wanted to find something to say to break the silence. As they walked step by step, they quickly came to the top, which was the crater, the hottest place of the hot spring water, and also... the holy place where the cursed cat demon raised its cubs!

The white hot spring water was rolling, and along with it, there were undoubtedly rotting dark cursed cat demon cubs floating in the water. This scene made Du Yuqi think of a pot of dumplings floating up and down. It is worth mentioning that he had a psychological trauma about dumplings and stopped eating them.

The hot spring pool formed by the crater is very large, at least the size of a basketball court, but only the central area is the hot spring eye, which is extremely deep. The water depth around it is only up to the waist, and the air is filled with a faint smell of rotten eggs.

Du Yuqi looked around and fell into deep thought. He gently stroked the black dimensional ring on his finger, and suddenly jumped into the hot spring pool with a "plop". Jet was immediately surprised and said:

"What are you doing? My friend, there is broth underneath, but it is not tasty at all!"

Du Yuqi said neatly:

"Looking for something."

Jeter said:

"Tell me what you are looking for, and I will help you find it."

Du Yuqi shook his head:

"I don't know what I'm looking for, but I'm sure it's probably here."

After hearing this, Jet was at a loss for a moment, then he spread his hands and sighed:

"Oh, brother, that's a great answer! It's almost like no answer at all, oh no, it just confuses me even more."

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"It's okay, I can find it myself. It won't be hard to find... Do you feel more uncomfortable after coming here?"

Jet nodded immediately and said:

"That's right, this place must have been cursed by the vengeful spirit of the cat demon. I even feel a headache. Let's go quickly, because after a while this place will definitely be occupied by ghosts!"

Du Yuqi nodded, but continued to grope in the water. After about five minutes, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body, and then his movements became slower. After a while, he straightened up and nodded with satisfaction:

"Okay, let's go!"

After hearing what Du Yuqi said, Jet felt relieved, and the two of them quickly left this damn place.

After leaving the poisonous swamp area, they found a stream and washed their bodies thoroughly. It was already morning, and the warm sun was shining down. Jet lay down on a clean big rock next to him, and it seemed that he didn't want to move at all. Soon he began to snore softly in the warm sunshine.
