Muchen has no flying skills, no flying mounts, and no companions who can lend a helping hand in times of crisis.

In a place like this, everything can only be done by himself.

Fortunately, Muchen also has the Ring of Flicker, and its equipment skill [Flicker] is a very useful skill.

He vaguely remembered that the NPC who lived in seclusion in the mud jungle lived in a small wooden house deep in the swamp, probably...to the west of his current location.

The map of Mud Jungle is only sold in the grocery store in Dawn City.

Muchen couldn't go there because there was no map of the mud jungle. When he came here, his map was completely dark, but he had no choice but to move forward in the dark.

He remembered that the NPC's cabin was deep in the swamp. There was a cemetery of bones there. It was very conspicuous and should be easy to find.

After Muchen found the right direction, he moved forward cautiously.

There are swamps here, so you have to be careful.

As he was thinking this and walking, he suddenly felt his steps stagnate. He looked down and saw that his left foot was sinking deep into the rotten ground beneath his feet.

"Damn it, I'm stuck in a swamp."

Arriving at Area 3, within half a minute, I fell into a swamp. This was really unlucky.

He wondered if he was being secretly watched by the God of Doom.

Falling into the swamp, Muchen still had time to think about things.

Suddenly, a strong attraction in the swamp grabbed Muchen with the intention of sinking him into it.

Muchen stopped thinking wildly and tried to see if he could pull his left foot out of the swamp. However, he fell deeper and deeper into the swamp. In a moment, the lower half of his body was already stuck in the swamp and he was unable to extricate himself.

Muchen did not hesitate and immediately activated the equipment skill of the Flickering Ring.

In a few blinks, he was moved out of this place.

"Phew! It's so dangerous. If I didn't have the Ring of Flashing, I might have died here." Muchen came to a safe place and looked back.

Seeing that the swamp that was trying to kill him just now was no different from other places in the mud jungle, at least Muchen couldn't see any difference.

Area 3 is the most dangerous place in the Mud Jungle.

The danger here is invisible.

After saying that, Muchen turned around and stepped into the swamp again, sinking deep into it.

Muchen:....

He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know whether it was because he was unlucky or because there were just so many swamps in area three.

Simply, Muchen didn't care.

Find a direction, use the equipment skill [Flash] continuously, and rush on the road at an extremely fast speed.

In this case, it doesn’t matter if it’s a swamp or not.

As long as you can teleport fast enough, you don't have to worry about anything.

Fifteen or six minutes passed like this.

Muchen, who was teleporting at high speed, saw a dense white skeleton hanging on a dead tree out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately stopped teleporting.

The skeletons hanging from the trees are human bones.

The human skeleton's hands were tied to the dead branches with iron cuffs, and its feet were also imprisoned by iron cuffs. There was also a lead ball the size of a human head hanging from it, and it was falling hard.

It was stretched twice as long as it was alive.

There were no external injuries on the bones.

They should have been starved to death or tortured to death.

There are not only tortured human bones nearby. Every few steps you take, you can see human bones hanging on the dead trees, like tombstones.

When Muchen saw this scene, instead of being afraid, he actually smiled.

It seems that I have found the right place. The NPC living in the mud jungle is not far ahead!

Muchen immediately walked forward quickly.

Unexpectedly, the next moment he stepped into the swamp again and sank into it.

Muchen:....

Using the flicker skill to escape from danger, Muchen came to a small wooden house deep in the swamp.

This small wooden house was built on a huge dead tree. This dead tree can only be hugged by six adults holding hands. The roots are thick and very huge.

It is said to be a cabin, but in fact it is most appropriately called a tree house.

The wooden house is made of dead wood. It seems to be built with local materials. It is four to five meters above the ground. There is a rope ladder hanging down from the tree house.

There are traces of life everywhere around here.

The area near the tree house is also the place with the most human bone tombstones.

It can be seen that the NPC living here probably has a bad temper, may be a bit psychopathic, and is a ruthless character.

But Muchen did not feel scared, but shouted loudly: "Is there anyone there?"

There was no movement.

Muchen shouted again, and this time a hoarse male voice came from the tree house: "Who...are you...who are you?"

The NPC in the tree house seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time.

His speech was choppy and confused.

Muchen said: "I am an adventurer who came to mine in the mud jungle. I accidentally got lost and entered here by mistake. I saw a tree house here and came here to ask for help."

"Adventurer... okay... you come up... I have a map... you follow the map... you can get out." The man in the tree house stammered.

"You'd better come out, I won't go in."

Muchen glanced vaguely around the tree house. It was unremarkable, but it hid murderous intent.

He could sense the murderous intention hidden near the roots of the dead trees under the tree house, as well as the bursts of malice coming from the tree house.

When Muchen finished saying these words, the treehouse fell into silence.

After a while, the man in the tree house asked again: "You really don't want to come in?"

Muchen smiled and said: "Your wooden house is too small to accommodate me."

"Haha." The man in the tree house sneered a few times. The next moment, the door of the tree house was opened from the inside, and a man in his forties wearing a gray robe and a full beard came out.

He was wearing a long robe, which was covered with dirt and patches. It looked like he had been wearing it for a long time.

Muchen is equipped with the Omniscient Eye, which can read the hidden information of players, monsters and NPCs.

When he saw this man for the first time, Muchen used his omniscient eye to read his hidden information.

【Faran】

Level:51

Occupation: Earth Mage

Identity: Former captain of the fifth mage regiment of Dawn City, now defected.

Personality: Cruel, suspicious, cunning.

"You said you are a mining adventurer. Show me your mining tools and the ore you collected."

Faran stared at Muchen with sharp eyes and spoke word by word.

He was no longer stuttering and speaking in a dull manner just now, which meant that he was just pretending to draw Muchen closer.

Being able to survive in this swamp for so long proves that he has good skills.

Naturally, he would place some traps near his residence to prevent anyone from sneaking up to the treehouse and attacking him.

Faced with Farah's questioning.

Muchen made a panicked expression and said, "I just encountered a monster and accidentally lost all the ores and tools I collected."

"What monster did you encounter?" Faraan asked.

"Rotten lizard." Muchen replied after being silent for a while.
