Outside the town, on the side near the swamp, is an astonishingly large cemetery. At a glance, there are broken tombstones everywhere, and even more grave bags, without even tombstones. There are no tombstones at all in this cemetery.
How many graves there are, at least tens of thousands.
The cemetery has existed for at least hundreds of years. Hei Ni Town has a tradition at some time. No matter who dies nearby, the people in the town will spontaneously dig a grave for him there. When a person in the town dies,
They will also be buried here. Over time, this spectacular burial ground has become available.
The low hills that rise one after another in front of you coldly bear witness to the desperate struggle between humans, the environment, and the dark races in this barren land for hundreds of years.
Qianye stared at the land in front of him quietly, and after a while, he walked through the cemetery and entered the black mud swamp.
The black mud swamp at night was filled with a faint gray fog. Even if Qianye had night vision, his field of vision could only be tens of meters. The closer he got to the swamp, the clearer the strange stench became. It seemed to be mixed with hundreds of species.
An unpleasant smell. This stench will be unbearable to creatures outside the swamp, and the keen sense of smell will be largely disabled.
There are no obvious boundaries at the edge of the swamp. Most of the area is just like ordinary mud, covered with a thin layer of herbaceous-looking plants. It is not ordinary weeds, there are moss and ferns growing together inside. The appearance is dense
It is flat, but the ground below is not the whole land, but there are countless bottomless mud pits hidden there. Once ordinary people fall into it, they will not be able to climb out at all, and will be swallowed up by the black marsh.
Of course, this kind of muddy terrain is not difficult for Qianye. He steps forward, his military boots treading the mud, walking steadily and quickly. If his feet suddenly become soft, Qianye will instantly become as light as nothing, and the black swamp will even make him
The uppers of the boots could not be reached without being stepped on.
Qianye has received special terrain training and learned from Hu Wei some experience in distinguishing whether there is a deep swamp below based on plant types. Even so, his eyesight cannot avoid it every time. Sometimes he has to step on it to know what is under his feet.
Whether it is on the ground or not, it can be seen that the terrain of the Black Mud Swamp is harsh. Only the adaptability and strength of a level 5 or above senior warrior can tolerate misjudgments and maintain freedom of movement under such circumstances.
Qianye walked for a while, then suddenly stopped, pulled out the multi-purpose military knife from his waist, and dug out a dark vine from the muddy water. He cut off a section of the vine with the knife, and the juice seeped out from the cut.
It turned out to be thick and scarlet, like thick blood.
This is blood vine, a specialty of the Black Mud Swamp, and an important ingredient in many potions. One of its most famous auxiliary functions is that it is compatible with a variety of stimulants. After adding it, it can greatly increase the effectiveness of the potion. Elite Legion Stimulants
The formulas basically contain blood vine ingredients.
This is one of the driving forces that attracts a large number of scavengers and herb collectors into the Black Swamp. A piece of blood vine as long as Qianye's hand can be sold for several gold coins even in Blackstream City. For scavengers,
This is the ultimate wealth that can change your destiny.
The reason why the blood vine got its name is not because of the red sap, but because so many people sacrificed their lives to harvest it.
A strange buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the darkness, getting closer and closer, and it was heard continuously. Some flying insects as big as fingers kept appearing, flying around Qianye. These flying insects were all caught by the blood on his hand.
They were attracted by the smell of the vines. They looked like flying ants enlarged several times, with particularly ferocious mouthparts, and the poisonous needles at their tails were erratic.
This kind of flying insect was originally very common, but in the black swamp environment, its size is much larger than that of its kind, and its toxins have become more deadly. As long as the blood vine comes into contact with the air, it will emit a special smell, attracting surrounding flying insects
come over.
Experienced herb pickers will process the blood vine underwater and wrap it in special medicine bags to control the dispersion of the smell to the maximum extent. Less skilled scavengers will wrap themselves from head to toe in special leather clothing.
Get up and let the flying insects bite you. Once all their stingers are used up, the danger will be over.
At this moment, Qianye raised his right hand slightly, and a ray of blood mixed with the force was sent out to his fingertips. The trajectory of the flying insects dancing in the air suddenly became chaotic, as if they had encountered a dangerous beast. Even though he was tempted by the smell of blood vines, he was instinctively attracted by it.
The fear warned him not to get too close.
But the danger does not stop at these flying insects. There was a pool of muddy water at the base of a clump of ferns next to me. Ripples suddenly appeared, and a faint black shadow suddenly shot out from under the muddy water like an arrow. There was no warning at first, and it quickly passed through.
The lightning was so close that Qianye had no time to dodge, but he felt a pain in his calf, which then turned to numbness, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
What pounced from the water was a half-meter-long snake-like creature. It had a sharp horn on its head. It was so sharp that it penetrated the defensive metal wire intertwined in the compartment of Qianye's military boots with just one pounce.
The net pierced the calf directly.
Horned snakes are another danger that accompanies blood vines. If flying insects mean fatal danger, then the appearance of horned snakes is equivalent to death itself. The horned snakes' horns are hollow, which are their blood-sucking organs.
Moreover, the venom of the horned snake is fatal. Currently, except for the special snake venom serum used by the military, there is no specific antidote. Once poisoned, you can only rely on your physical fitness and the Force to resist.
The constitution of the Vampire family gives Qianye a natural resistance to biological toxins. The numbness caused by the horned snake stops moving up when he feels it at his knees. It is obviously not life-threatening, but it still has an effect. This shows the intensity of the toxin. No wonder Hu Li said,
Anyone who enters the Black Mud Swamp is risking his or her life.
Qianye remained abnormally motionless. When the horned snake began to suck blood, the wound on his leg began to feel. He could feel that his blood was continuously flowing out. The dark gray abdomen of the horned snake was becoming
It's getting louder and louder.
Qianye estimated that the horned snake had almost sucked the blood, so he relaxed the suppression of the blood energy in his body. A piece of ordinary blood energy immediately rushed out of the heart, deftly found the blood that was flowing out, and mixed a breath into it and sent it out.
The horned snake suddenly bounced off Qianye's legs, then rolled, fluttered, and struggled in the muddy water. In the blink of an eye, it stood stiffly still on the water, half-sinking, half-floating, and never moved again.
To it, that blood energy was a poison that it could not resist.
Qianye put the blood vine away and walked around again, cleaning up most of the traces he left. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the inconspicuous corners have not been cleaned thoroughly, and the inconspicuous corners can still be removed from the intermittent
He found something in the traces. As for the horned snake, Qianye didn't move and just let it stay there.
After looking around the scene again, Qianye felt satisfied, and then continued walking into the depths of the black swamp. However, this time his steps were much heavier, and he would leave many traces after escaping from the deep swamp several times.
Although Qianye looked normal at this moment, he was in a state of high alert. He activated his bloodline latent and deliberately controlled the blood energy in his body.
He had an intuition that the Blood Lord he saw in Black Mud Town not only did not leave, but even followed him into the Black Swamp. Although he walked for so long, Qianye could not find any signs that could confirm that he was being followed.
However, that faint feeling of crisis never dissipated.
It was the reaction of the blood energy in Qianye's body to the power of Sir Blood's blood. Even if the other party later restrained his aura and Qianye could not find his true location, the feeling remained. As long as it did not dissipate completely, Sir Blood was still lingering nearby.
The possibility still exists.
After Qianye was sneak attacked by the Horned Snake, he suddenly thought of a bold plan. He didn't know whether this arrangement would be useful to the high-level vampire. A man who dared to go so deep into human territory and couldn't stop even after being discovered.
The vampires who went there were obviously experienced veterans, and they might not be easily plotted. However, Qianye was not at all anxious. The Black Mud Swamp was very vast, and there would be plenty of time and opportunities ahead.
Not long after Qianye left, the scene in a corner of the black swamp suddenly distorted, and a black shadow seemed to condense out of the void. His whole body was wrapped in a dark cloak, and the position of his eyes revealed a vague darkness in the night.
Red light. He squatted down and looked at the water in front of him.
From this angle, you can see a vague footprint under the water. In an environment where the black marsh seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents everywhere, the shallow footprint will disappear in a short time. This footprint remains to this day, indicating that the steps were stepped on at that time
Extremely heavy.
Sir Blood did not look forward, but looked back in the direction where the footprints came from, and then stood up. His whole figure became blurry and distorted, and a little floating, as if he had lost weight and walked towards where Qianye came from.
After a while, he found the place where Qianye dug out the blood vines, and saw the horned snake still floating stiffly on the water. In the black swamp, the horned snake was the overlord. Even if it died, it would remain there for a long time.
There will be no swamp creatures approaching.
Sir Blood walked towards the Horned Snake, but when he was only a few meters away, he suddenly felt a shock all over his body and stopped suddenly!
He slowly took off his hood, revealing a full head of silver hair and a majestic face. The deeply downward corners of his mouth and falcon-like eyes could make people feel the cold cruelty in his heart. But at this moment, his face turned out to be somewhat...
Twisted, a low, almost roaring moan came out from his throat, and even the blood-sucking fangs poked out from the corners of his lips.
Where he was staring, there was a low shrub growing. The shrub had a twisted body and was covered with sharp thorns, with a few sparse dark green leaves sticking out from the top.
Jazz kept taking deep breaths, letting his sense of smell guide him, and slowly approached the bush. Finally, he found his target, which was a drop of dried blood on the leaf.
Even though the blood has dried, the trace of smell remaining on it is still so fragrant and sweet. So what would it taste like when it was still alive?
Sir Blood approached the blood drop, took another deep breath, then held his breath and closed his eyes, showing an intoxicated expression.
