Chapter 172: Huge Wetland

After walking out of the teleportation array, Lan Wu's first feeling was sweltering heat.

This place and Kurast Harbor are completely different worlds. The sea breeze blows into the city all the time, taking away the heat of the tropical rainforest climate and making people reluctant to leave this coastal city.

But this is an out-and-out tropical rainforest. The humid and hot climate makes this place a dangerous place full of dangers. This is a huge wetland, and it was also one of the maps that Lan Wu was least willing to scan when playing games.

The air was filled with putrid stench. Lan Wu stepped on the slippery mud, and a series of small bubbles immediately popped up from the black mud on both sides. This is the biogas produced by the fermentation of rotten branches and leaves accumulated under the mud for many years.

Oh my god, I really hate it.

Lan Wu cursed secretly and followed Olvera and Dracula, walking side by side with the little girl. In this kind of environment, it is better to let professionals lead the way. Who knows what might be hiding under the damp dirt ahead.

Dracula was very competent. He led Lan Wu and his party through the huge wetland with ease and quickly left the teleportation array behind. After walking a certain distance, he suddenly took out a bundle of hemp rope, climbed up the nearest big tree skillfully, then lowered his head and explained: "Come up quickly, we will walk on the tree for the rest of the way."

As he spoke, he wrapped the hemp rope twice around the thickest tree trunk. A nearly oval-shaped Guanghua pebble is tied to both ends of the hemp rope. Once put together, the cobblestones lock together. He pulled hard, then picked up the other end of the hemp rope, swung it around a few times, and threw it towards another big tree.

There was a soft sound, and the other end was fixed on the tree trunk. At this time, Dracula explained to Lan Wu and others who had just climbed up the tree: "Now I think there are many people staring at us. For safety reasons, we must eliminate the traces."

Lan Wu was relieved. Yes, Huge Wetland deserves to be called a wetland. The ground was so muddy that if you wanted to leave no traces, you really had to climb over the trees. This Dracula is quite reliable.

Then Dracula took the lead and easily climbed to the big tree opposite. With his example, Olvera and the little girl didn't have any problems. Then when he arrived at Lanwu, he was teleported to the other side.

Dracula smiled. This is indeed the method used by mages. He turned around, grabbed the rope and shook it. With a very skillful technique, he easily freed the other end and retracted the rope.

After re-fixing the other end of the rope to a big tree in front of him, Dracula said no more, jumped up high, and landed firmly on the big tree.

Barbarian jump.

This skill is often used to get close to opponents, and many barbarians like this survival skill. The advanced skill is a jumping attack, which can deliver a heavy blow to the opponent while completing close range.

Lan Wu successfully teleported over. Only Olvera, the paladin, and the little girl had to rely on ropes to climb to the other side. The Paladin's charge is not easy to use in the rainforest area.

Following the same pattern, the group successfully traveled nearly five kilometers using skills and ropes. By this time it was getting dark. Dracula also retracted the rope and explained: "We are so far apart, and it will take them a long time to find us. Then there is no need to climb in the trees. By the time they find this place, the traces on the ground will be gone." ”

Lan Wu already knew this. The power of nature is infinite. When you step on the footprints left in the wetland, nature will slowly return to its original state. To put it bluntly, it's just a lot of little bugs living under the mud. They are the real contributors to the eradication of footprints.

With Dracula as a local leader leading the way, Lan Wu and the others didn't bother much. Not long after, a bonfire was lit on a rare dry soil slope in the wetland. Everyone took out the dry food prepared in advance and ate it silently with water.

"How far is it?" Lan Wu finished eating first, wiped off the crumbs on his hands, and looked at Dracula.

"At least two days' journey." Dracula wolfed down his food and said vaguely: "If you don't meet those migrating dwarfs, you can reach that place in two days."

The Soul Hunter is what Dracula calls the dwarf. This race living in the rain forest was eroded by the power of demons and became cruel and bloodthirsty, accustomed to doing things against humans. They are good at hiding in the rainforest and using poisonous blow needles to assassinate passing humans. If they fail to succeed, they will swarm up and attack the humans to death with sharp daggers, similar to kitchen knives, and then take the bodies back to the tribe for sharing.

Lan Wu specifically looked for relevant information before setting off. The world and the game are paradoxical. If one had completely followed the experience in the game, he might have capsized in the sewer and become the meat of demonic creatures.

The dark night in the rainforest is eerie and terrifying. From time to time, one or two screams of unknown creatures were heard from the distance. The four of them huddled around the campfire, unable to sleep. After all, no one knows when the soul hunter will jump out of the rain forest nearby.

The hard night passed, and finally no accident happened. But we often think everything is fine, but suddenly an accident occurs that makes our nerves tense again.

Lan Wu packed up his luggage and turned around to see Dracula and Olvera squatting on the ground, one on the left and the other on the right, checking something. He walked over curiously. Olvera heard the footsteps and reminded without looking back: "Something came last night."

"They are soul hunters." Dracula came over, pointed to some vague footprints left on the wetland and said solemnly: "They were here last night. But I don't know why they let us go. I suggest it's best Get out of here as soon as possible."

As he spoke, his face turned a little pale: "There must be a soul hunter tribe nearby, and it is very large. These footprints are left by their scouts. Maybe they are gathering people to hunt us."

Lan Wu nodded. Dracula is experienced. Since he can analyze so much information from such footprints that are almost indistinguishable, doing what he said will not make the situation better, at least it will not make the situation worse.

The group quickly left the camping site, and did not even deal with the traces of the campfire. If someone tracks here, those soul hunters alone can teach these stalkers how to be human.

Dracula kept jumping and led the way in front. Lan Wu held the giant war staff in his hand, flickering in the rainforest, and acted the most relaxed. Only Olvera looked more embarrassed, carrying the little girl on his back and charging. Not running far, the armor on his body was spotted and covered with mud and water.

The group used various means to leave the rainforest where the soul hunter tribe lived as quickly as possible. Three hours later, Dracula sent out a signal, indicating that he had escaped the hunting range of the Soul Hunter Tribe.

According to the rules summarized by the professionals in Kurast Harbor, there will never be a second tribe near the area where a Soul Hunter Tribe lives. These demonized dwarfs regard any creature as food except their own tribe, including their own kind.

So in the next two days, Lan Wu and his group did not encounter much trouble and successfully arrived at the place Dracula mentioned.
