Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1350: Deep into the darkness
"What's going on?" Xun and Qianhong also walked into the living room, and heard the bell ringing outside.
The food on the table has not been finished yet, but at this time the old man suddenly got up, ignoring the meal, picked up the paper towel next to him and wiped his hands: "It's broken, someone must have died."
"Sometimes, if you open the window at night, you may not be assimilated, but may also be eaten."
Yang Kun walked towards the door while talking.
Tianyang winked at Yueguang and the others, intending to follow them to have a look.
When they came to the street, they saw people opening the doors of the surrounding buildings one after another. On the street ahead, a man was holding a 'triangular bell' and kept beating and shouting loudly.
Yang Kun was able to understand the words of these natives, so his face changed immediately, and he didn't speak, and walked forward quickly with his clothes wrapped tightly around his body.
Following behind the old man, Tianyang and the others came to a house with red walls, where a broken window could be seen, and several hunting team members stood there, separating the crowd of onlookers.
In it, there is the young man A Wu from yesterday.
Yang Kun called to Ah Wu a few times and gestured, and the young man trotted over, and they communicated in the language of the town. It can be heard that the old man can use the indigenous language, but he is not proficient enough, and sometimes needs to cooperate with gestures.
But not long after, he seemed to understand what happened, turned his head to Tianyang and the others and said, "I guessed right, a bad luck has been eaten."
"A Wu said that he might have drunk too much and accidentally opened the window, so something happened."
"That guy is also a member of the hunting team. They originally planned to explore the 'Rotten Swamp' today, but they didn't see him when the assembly time came. So some team members came to check and found out about it."
Just as they were talking, the crowd parted. Yesterday the bearded man commanded two men to carry out a corpse on a stretcher. As a result, someone accidentally slipped his hand and caused the stretcher to overturn, leaving it covered with a white cloth. His body fell to the ground, exposed to the air.
It was a man. His chest and even his abdomen were open. The internal organs and a large amount of tissues were gone, and there were signs of being eaten on the arms and thighs. Many places exposed white bones, and the image was terrifying.
There was an exclamation in the crowd, and the people quickly dispersed, as if they were afraid of being infected with some kind of misfortune.
The bearded man hurriedly had the body covered, got back the stretcher and carried it away, and quickly left to the depths of the town.
Yang Kun sighed and said: "They want to dispose of the corpse as soon as possible. They think that if the dead who were eaten by the dead do not dispose of the corpse as soon as possible, death will spread like a plague."
"Right."
The old man pointed to Tianyang and said, "Didn't you just ask where is the temple of the sky god? There is a temple in the 'rotten swamp' they are going to explore today. If you are interested, I can Tell you about it and see if they are willing to take you with them."
"However, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for them to deal with the funeral of the deceased."
Seeing such an opportunity, Tianyang certainly didn't want to miss it, so he said, "Then I will trouble you, Mr. Yang."
The old man smiled and pulled Awu aside. After they communicated for a while, Awu nodded hesitantly, looked at Tianyang and the others before walking away.
Yang Kun walked back and said: "I let Ah Wu tell. That bearded man is called Panda. Well, I transliterated it myself. Anyway, the name is just a sign."
"This Panda is one of the members of the town committee and has certain rights. If he agrees, you can join the exploration."
"Go, let's go back and wait for the news."
Following the old man home, Moonlight asked curiously: "There is still a committee in this town?"
"Yes, the town's committee decides the size of the town, and each committee member is responsible for different tasks. For example, Panda is in charge of hunting teams, some committee members are responsible for food and water, and some are responsible for providing food and water to residents. Seeing a doctor..."
"The residents of the town are assigned corresponding tasks according to their specialties. Like me, don't look at me like this, I am still involved in the work of guarding the town."
While walking, Tianyang looked around and found that there was no woman on the road, so he couldn't help but said: "Old Yang, I found out since yesterday, why didn't I see a woman outside?"
"Is there no woman in the town?"
Yang Kun's movements suddenly froze, and then he laughed: "How is that possible."
"Without women, how could this town last until now."
"However, the folk customs here are relatively conservative. Women basically have to stay at home. They also need to participate in work, but they all do it at home."
Tianyang and Yueguang exchanged glances, and did not comment on Yang Kun's statement.
About more than two hours later, someone knocked on the door, Tianyang asked Chiying to open the door, and it turned out that it was Ah Wu.
The young man talked to Yang Kun excitedly, and Yang Kun also showed joy when he heard it, and then said to Tianyang: "Panda agreed, although there was a dispute between them, but Panda thinks, You were able to pass through the 'moon gap' moment yesterday, obviously possessing great strength."
"Now the hunting team urgently needs powerful new blood like you to join. Originally, more important ruins like the 'Rotten Swamp' would not allow newcomers to join, but this time I made an exception for you."
"I have also been honored by you. Panda asked me to go with you as your translator. At the same time, transfer me to the hunting team and enjoy the same ration as the hunting team."
"Wait a minute, I'll pack up my things and we'll go."
Twenty minutes later, Tianyang and his party came to the exit of the town, and came to the small square with the statue of the sky god, which was the gathering place of the hunting team.
Here, Tianyang saw more than a dozen horse beasts. These things looked like horses but had six legs and were much larger than normal horses. These creatures have good load-bearing capacity, and they all carry a lot of equipment and supplies on their bodies.
They are short-haired, muscular, have three eyes, and trample their hooves in small, non-stop motions.
The bearded Panda was riding on such a horse beast. Seeing Tianyang and the others coming, he laughed and communicated with Yang Kun while gesturing.
The old man nodded repeatedly, and after the exchange, he said to Tianyang and the others: "Panda said that going to the Rotten Swamp is dangerous, I suggest you keep the women in the town to be safer, especially these two ladies."
He pointed to Xun and Qianhong.
As for Yueguang and Chiying, one is full of heroism, and the other looks powerful, not like someone to worry about.
Tianyang smiled and said: "Please tell Panda that I can protect them, please don't worry, we won't hold back."
Yang Kun said 'OK' and started talking to the bearded man again. Panda frowned and shook his head repeatedly, but he didn't object, so the matter was settled.
The horse team began to walk out of the town gate, Tian Yang secretly counted, including them, there were 19 people in the exploration team heading to the Rotten Swamp. Among them, there are not only sublimators like Panda, but also ordinary people like Ah Wu.
In addition, each horse beast has a lantern made of animal skin hanging on both sides of the harness, and a 'star crystal grass' is placed in each lantern, which is the companion of the star marrow pillar. It can be used as lighting, and the light it emits can drive out low-class black people.
After leaving the town, the team walked along the town wall for a while, then gradually left the town, and gradually entered the dark area.
After breaking away from the gaze of the 'Suto's Pupil', Tianyang had the feeling of entering the reverse world through the Krafft Gate, and instantly sensed the black mist.
He used this to establish a connection with the black mist, expand his perception, let the black mist build a model, and allow Tianyang to grasp the surrounding environment.
"The rotten swamp we are going to is a typical rainforest environment. Originally, Panda and their ancestors built a small town there, but it was gradually invaded by the swamp."
Yang Kun, who was walking beside him on a horse, said in a low voice: "Now the Rotten Swamp is preserved only because the Suto Temple is located on the high ground, and the rest have basically fallen into the swamp."
"What are they going to do in the temple?" Tianyang asked casually.
"Supply."
Yang Kun looked around vigilantly, and then said: "The 'inheritance' left by Suto seems to consume certain things, and these things can only be replenished in the temple."
"But I don't know what it is. After all, I'm an outsider, so I can't win their trust in this aspect."
Tianyang wondered: "If that's the case, why didn't they just transport the things in the temple back to the town, instead of going to the temple every time to resupply?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't know."
Moonlight rode forward: "What dangers are there in the Rotten Swamp, are there any places that need attention?"
Yang Kun said with a chuckle: "The terrain there is complicated, we have to keep up with Panda and the others, otherwise we will definitely get lost."
"I heard from Ah Wu that there is a demon inhabiting there. Fortunately, that demon is usually asleep, and they have a way to make that demon sleep deeply."
"But apart from this demon, there are countless dangers in that swamp. There are fighters with a body length of more than ten meters. They look like giant centipedes, and their whole bodies are protected by hard and thick shells. And nearly a hundred pairs of feet have blade-like limbs, and part of the body of those guys looks like a human being, and they will have the appearance of youth, middle age, and old age."
"It's just different from us humans. The older the killers are, the bigger they will be, the thicker their shells will be, and the sharper their blades will be."
Moonlight frowned: "I hate this kind of monster."
Xun also felt the same: "Me too."
Yang Kun laughed and said: "If the Killer disgusts you, then the Rotten One may make you a demon."
"That kind of thing is like a big toad with a human face on its belly."
"The whole body of the rotten is rotten, and it exudes a stench. The stench contains certain toxins, which can make people nervous and feel dizzy. But don't worry, Panda and the others have the ability to resist this stench. Essential oils.”
"Due to their special organs and body structure, the Rotten can walk freely on the swamp, and sometimes they will dive deep into the swamp, which makes them difficult to find."
"They eat everything and have a great appetite. Of course, if you see it, you must not have an appetite for the next few days..."
The old man slowly introduced the situation of the destination, allowing Tian Yang and the others to have a preliminary understanding of the 'rotten swamp', and at the same time, they gradually went deeper into the darkness.
At this moment, the 'Suto's Pupil' in midair has become a faint spot of light.
