perfect savior

Chapter 166

Francesco Rich stepped into the quagmire with his feet, but his calf submerged in an instant. His spine flashed with silver light, and his leg muscles were ferocious like a python, and he was pulled out from the terrifying suction force of the quagmire.

The "prototype machine" of the Silver Snake agent team let out a foul breath, and beads of sweat appeared between his brows.

This swamp is extremely dark, with towering ancient trees blocking the sun, and the air is filled with the stench of rotting animals and plants. Poisonous insects are waiting behind the leaves to attack the soldiers far away in foreign lands at any time.

But the most dangerous thing is this quagmire that spreads for hundreds of miles. In the slang of this area, it is called "scum bone pool". Every year, an unknown number of lives fall here, and pale bones can be seen everywhere.

The expeditionary army needs someone to open the way for the expeditionary force to walk in this area that is prone to eating people.

Augustus took the responsibility without hesitation. He walked in the front, determined the direction, and split the thorns.

Of the remaining two black rings, Olivia has precious healing ability and walks in the middle of the team with starlight feather pupils; Vladislav is in charge of breaking the rear.

But even with such a head-to-tail formation, marching in the Zhagutan is a depressing and disturbing thing, the environment is too stuffy and too dark.

Francesco is a "superhuman" transformed by extraordinary means. Although he does not have magical power, his brute strength is really strong. It is like stuffing a giant beast into a human body. In terms of physical strength, he even surpassed the average temple silver ring!

Francesco is undoubtedly more suitable for walking in the mud, but even he is sweating on his forehead and his legs are weak at this moment. The mud here has too much suction and is too heavy. The first second is as thin as sewage, and the next moment It was harder than concrete, and trekking in this ghostly place was really difficult. Many soldiers were not as good as him, walking pale and out of breath.

Crossing the Slag Bone Pool, of course, was not a plan that Augustus came up with to torture his comrades, but a forced choice by the situation.

Three days ago, after witnessing the victory of the Canglong army against the Purple Demon army, Augustus decided to end the expedition and return to Earth immediately.

With Starlight Yutong from Song Ji Civilization in hand, the mission of the expeditionary force has been overfulfilled, and there is no need to stay any longer.

Although Augustus realized that Lord Canglong was definitely a dangerous person, with the strength in his hands, he was really not sure about assassinating the rising new king, so he could only put this murderous impulse on hold and return to Earth first. .

But something unexpected happened.

Because of Canglong Lord's "unification war", the remaining three [Seven Young Masters] formed a coalition army to jointly resist Canglong. The flames of war ignited all over this world.

The expeditionary army left from the 307th "digestive layer" of the Abyss of Life, and had to go through the alchemy teleportation array to reach the Ocean of Evil Thoughts, and return the same way, but because the Canglong Lord launched a big war, the way to the teleportation array was blocked by the army .

The expeditionary force had no choice but to choose to move forward in a roundabout way, crossing the dangerous no man's land.

Augustus, who was walking in the front, stopped for a while. He looked up, estimated the distance, and turned back and said loudly:
"Take a break for two hours and set up camp!"

Hearing this, even the strong soldiers of the expeditionary army breathed a sigh of relief, Xingguang Yutong even cheered up and jumped for a while.

Everyone is tired.

The expeditionary army found a relatively dry place. Several silver rings from the temple used spiritual skills to create a wooden and stone platform on the tree. After carefully expelling the poisonous insects, everyone lay down comfortably. Drinking water, Take a nap.

At such times, Olivia became the busiest person.

She ordered the soldiers to roll up their trousers to the thighs, and the men left a pair of shorts when they were naked, while the women were taken to the back of the big tree to take off their clothes. In this way, the blond beauty carefully inspected everyone's body.

There are two evils in Zhagutan: one is the heavy swamp mud, and the other is the ubiquitous poisonous insects.

After a long journey, almost everyone fell into the trap of poisonous insects.

Some felt itchy heels, but the bones there were actually densely packed with worms; some fell asleep, but the miasma toxins had reached the brain and almost died; some felt so hungry that they even wanted to eat themselves raw The flesh and blood of the stomach is stimulated by the poisonous insects to secrete a large amount of gastric acid, which almost burns through the stomach.

The black ring in Olivia's hand flickered non-stop, and spiritual spells shrouded everyone one after another. This was a labor-intensive task. She had to identify the focus of the disease before she could cure it by category.

The blond beauty was so busy that she wanted to split herself in half, and Augustus was not idle either. He sat quietly at the edge of the camp, with his hands in the sky, weaving multiple protective barriers to prevent any poisonous insects from approaching.

On the contrary, Vladislav had the happiest time at this time. His task was to be vigilant, just stand there and pay attention to the surrounding situation. In order to avoid being disturbed, this Siberian hero also lent his tablet to Starlight Yutong.

The blue-haired girl has become obsessed with "snake eating" these days. Whenever she is free, she pesters Vladislav to come and play. Without a tablet computer, it is difficult for the couple, the blonde beauty and the Siberian hero, to communicate. Staring at the other side, Augustus rolled his eyes.

An hour later, Olivia wiped off her sweat. She patted Starlight Yutong's head, ran to Augustus, and said softly:
"The poisonous insects and miasma here are more powerful than I imagined. The treatment work will last for a while, and you must rest properly. Two hours is not enough, so let's postpone it later."

"...Can you treat the serious ones first? Let the mild ones go. It's getting more and more chaotic here. I have a bad feeling in my heart. It's better to go back to Earth as soon as possible..."

"No!" Olivia's expression was very serious:
"You are not a climber of [Sacred Pillar: Spiritual Shepherd], you don't know how to save people, and you are walking in a swamp full of poisonous miasma. The most taboo thing is to add new poisons without getting rid of the old poisons. Fighting poison with poison? No! Once infected with multiple toxins, the chain reaction will break out, and it will be difficult for gods to cure!"

Augustus was silent for a while, and replied softly under the gaze of the blonde beauty:
"Okay, rest for three hours, but the ugly words are ahead, if the situation changes, I judge that we must march quickly, then I must listen to me, there is no need to discuss!"

Augustus closed his eyes and continued to maintain the barrier that kept the poisonous insects away.

Olivia originally wanted to say something more, but suddenly felt that instead of wasting time with the commander, it would be better to race against time to treat the sick, so she rushed back to the soldiers and continued to perform spiritual spells.

However, at this time, Vladislav, who was standing like a bear, suddenly snapped his fingers twice.

Everyone immediately stopped talking, hiding their breathing.

There are "guests" coming.
