Flower Moon

Chapter 150 Swamp
Chang Sui was so excited that he threw away Tao Yue'er and rushed forward first.But before he took two steps, he heard Tao Yue'er shouting behind him: "Be careful!"

Chang Sui's heart sank suddenly following this cry, and immediately afterward, her whole body sank.

Only then did she realize that the ground under her feet was not soil, but mud. It looked nothing special on the surface, but once she stepped on it, it began to collapse downward.

The mud quickly encased her calf, dragging her whole body into a deeper swamp.

"Help!" Chang Sui cried loudly.She thought she had reached the end, but she didn't want to be full of murderous intentions every step of the way.

Fortunately, Tao Yue'er reacted quickly and grabbed her hand immediately.But it wasn't that easy to pull her out.

In the mud, there seemed to be countless hands grabbing her feet and dragging her down.Chang Sui wanted to cry but had no tears, and was flustered.At this time, Hua Ling on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and came to help, and then dragged Chang Sui out of the mud pit.

"There's something weird down here." Chang Sui just sat down on the shore, and immediately rolled up his trouser legs that were covered in mud. Sure enough, there were more than a dozen palm prints under the trouser legs, at the position of the calves of both legs.

Under the mud, there were at least a dozen people.

The swamp in front of him seemed to have no waves at all.The mark created by dragging her just now was also quickly removed, as if no one had passed by.But the dirt and purple palm prints on Chang Sui's body can fully explain how dangerous everything just happened.

"He, are they alive?" Chang Sui asked in fear.

Hua Ling shook her head: "There is no life here."

"They are dead? How can the dead still move?"

"Obsessed." In just three words, Hua Ling explained what happened just now.

"Then are these people cultivators?" Tao Yueer asked.

Hua Ling: "Maybe. After all, this is Tianji Mountain, and the people here all came in with us."

Although several people had already seen the dead bodies in one place, Chang Sui and Tao Yue'er felt heavy when they saw that there were probably many like-minded people under the calm swamp.

"How did they become possessed?" Tao Yueer asked.

"The people who can get here are naturally not low-strength practitioners, who were killed by others and hid under the swamp... No, it is very likely that this entire swamp is also a trap set by others." Hua Ling said Finished, stretched out the index finger, took out the knife, and scratched at the fingertip.

"Hua Ling!" Seeing him hurting herself, Tao Yue'er became anxious.

But Hua Ling didn't seem to care, and quickly squeezed out a drop of blood, which fell on the swamp.Then he covered his fingers with the handkerchief he carried with him.At this time, the swamp suddenly became unsettled.

The swamp suddenly seemed to have exploded and boiled everywhere.Soon, the water was evaporated, revealing dozens or hundreds of corpses.The bodies were covered with mud, making it difficult to distinguish their faces.But there are two people that Tao Yueer is very familiar with.

It was Zeng Yinxiao. Tao Yueer was deeply impressed by the short flute she was wearing.She was wearing Miao family clothes, and she had a short flute with a heroic air. Sitting there, she had a sense of calm beauty.She should have been the most suitable candidate for the crown princess, but she didn't want to see her again. She had already been killed and buried in the swamp.

"Although there are other ways to clean up the swamp, using my blood is the quickest." Hua Ling wiped her fingers and put away the handkerchief nonchalantly.And the fingers healed quickly.But Tao Yue'er always felt uncomfortable.

If she was stronger, Hua Ling wouldn't even have to suffer this kind of crime.

"Time is tight, and it's a last resort. You don't have to worry about it." Hua Ling naturally understood what Tao Yueer was thinking, and Tao Yueer also put away her sympathy, and began to pay attention to the colleagues who died tragically in front of her.

If Zeng Yinxiao's portable silver flute is her characteristic, then there is another one, which is also obvious.

Another beautiful girl, Su He, had long and thick hair. Tao Yueer remembered her with two big braids when she met her.In this swamp, Tao Yue'er was unrecognizable to others, but she still recognized Su He's appearance.

Today, two of the four beautiful girls have died, leaving only her and Jiang Wanning.

However, Jiang Wanning's whereabouts are unknown, and the enemy cannot be identified, which is really confusing.

And both of these two died at the place closest to the finish line, indicating that a round of fighting has already passed here.There are already many people who have arrived here, and they have delayed the process because they went to Cang Kingdom.So when we arrived, we saw only a piece of dead bodies.

"The really powerful people have already entered the mountain, we have to be careful." Tao Yue'er said.

Seeing the corpses all over the floor, Chang Sui naturally knew that the people walking in front didn't come to 'ask' and discuss, they were just like what Tao Yueer said, they took the magical kit and wanted to kill people of!

Chang Sui didn't dare to act alone anymore, and tightly grabbed Tao Yue'er's sleeve, not allowing himself to leave her within three steps.

The three of them continued to move forward. At the foot of the mountain, there was a bluestone path that stretched upwards among the inconspicuous bushes.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can't see the end at a glance.Halfway up the mountain, it was already shrouded in clouds and mist.

"How long will it take to climb to the top of the mountain on such a narrow road? We don't have anything to eat, will we starve to death halfway up the mountain?" Chang Sui's stomach growled at the right time.It was only then that Hua Ling remembered that they hadn't eaten yet.

"Stop first." Hua Ling said, "We need to eat."

When Hua Ling spoke, she even looked at Tao Yueer with a bit of resentment in her eyes—Chang Sui is a person who speaks when she is afraid and screams when she is hungry, but Tao Yueer is not.

Tao Yueer followed Hua Ling safely, and as long as Hua Ling didn't say anything, she wouldn't put forward her own ideas.So as long as Hualing doesn't cry hungry, she doesn't feel hungry either.

"I'll go cook." Tao Yue'er said.

"Sit down and wait for me here." Hua Ling did not follow Tao Yueer to work as usual.

In the past few days, Tao Yue'er has hardly slept or rested, and she hasn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food. Even if she has dry food, she hasn't eaten a few mouthfuls.Hualing went to the surrounding area to pick some wild vegetables and made a pot of wild vegetable soup.He took out the dry food cakes in the dressing box, stared at Tao Yue'er and drank a bowl of steaming soup to warm his stomach, and then his complexion looked a little better.

"Remember to tell me next time you're hungry." Hua Ling's expression turned ugly, so Tao Yue'er naturally didn't dare to say no.

"Definitely." Tao Yueer nodded.

After eating, Chang Sui was satisfied. She never expected that a pot of wild vegetable soup could be made so delicious. After eating, she felt that her legs and feet became more flexible. Could it be that there is a treasure on this mountain?Wild vegetables are fine?
"You're just too hungry." Tao Yue'er said with a smile, "Of course you can eat anything if you're hungry."
