Disaster Strikes
Chapter 68 Misty Forest
In the early morning, everyone was responsible for investigating the clues of this mission.
The situation in the castle was exactly as the servant said. The Schumacher family did not interrogate or obstruct Chen Mo and his party.
The Schumacher family's castle is different from the castle in Chen Mo's impression.
This place is more like a small town in the Middle Ages. The high walls are divided into the rear living area for the core members of the family and the outer living area for the subordinate people.
There are only about two to three thousand permanent residents in the entire castle.
Among them, there are less than two hundred people, wearing the Schumacher family crest, in small teams, haunting the city walls, streets and exclusive training grounds.
besides.
There are also a large number of outsiders called adventurers. They travel throughout the vast and dangerous areas all year round, bringing prey and luxury goods to the markets of various castles for sale. This is also one of the main sources of income in the castle.
The bluestone floor on the street looked like it was covered with a layer of oil. It was filled with filth and dirt everywhere. Rats and cockroaches were almost infested in groups in the corners.
In such an environment, Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head and continue walking forward.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A little girl cried and asked her mother to carry her. The mother sternly said: "If you don't obey me, Gui Wu will come and arrest you at night!"
When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she stopped crying.
When Chen Mo saw this, he couldn't help but smile, and soon came to the castle gate where a group of guards were stationed.
"The world of mist."
Chen Mo remembered that the name of this world was mentioned in the optical brain data chip prompt.
And when he stood in front of the castle gate and saw the distance, he couldn't help but murmured.
The surrounding area outside the castle is filled with wheat fields. Farmers are working intensively in the fields, and the warm sunshine shines on the wheat fields.
As far as the eye can see, it is warm and dry, with people coming and going, and the birds singing and the flowers fragrant.
Except that people's living standards seem to be roughly equivalent to Europe in the fifteenth century, the rest does not seem to be much different from the earth's environment.
However!
When Chen Mo looked further into the distance, to the outer area less than five kilometers away from the castle, he saw a wall of fog visible to the naked eye, rising straight into the sky and suddenly appearing in his field of vision.
Living within the confines of Schumacher Castle at this moment is like living in the eye of a storm, quite like sitting in a well and looking at the sky.
The white mist seemed to divide this place into two parts.
One part is the living area centered on the castle, where people live and work in peace and contentment, farming, livestock raising, and hunting. The other part is the world outside in the mist, full of moisture and unknowns.
The so-called castle is like an isolated island in the sea, a rare peaceful harbor in a dangerous environment.
"Is it always shrouded in fog?"
Standing in front of the castle gate, Chen Mo instinctively asked the guard next to him.
"ah!?"
This guard, wearing a light animal skin armor with the Schumacher family emblem hanging on his chest, suddenly showed great astonishment after hearing Chen Mo's question.
He looked at Chen Mo like a fool.
At this time, the captain of the guard team next to him came over and responded proactively: "Yes, sir, the place is shrouded in fog all year round and is filled with various poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. If you go in, you must be careful."
Seeing Chen Mo's thoughtful look, the guard captain continued: "Actually, it's not so much that it's shrouded in fog all year round. It's better to say that we are protected by God and are not shrouded in fog."
"is that so."
Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask: "You just said that the mist is filled with various poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. What do you mean?"
When the guard captain heard this, he showed a solemn expression.
"Poisonous insects are almost everywhere. As for those dangerous creatures, they are also called monsters or alien beasts. It is said that they are mutated monsters formed after being contaminated by those powerful poison masters. They have various shapes and are relatively rare in the periphery of the fog. They are Their flesh has anti-venom properties, and anti-venom potions can be extracted from pharmacists. Many powerful adventurer teams make a living by hunting these monsters."
Poison Master, Warcraft.
Compared with these in-depth clues, Chen Mo was relatively more concerned about poisonous insects at this time. This should be the basic ecological law of the foggy world, and it also reminded him of the poisonous tongue attack of Dr. Horrible during the Starving Demon Trial.
If it is so dangerous, it must be guarded against.
"If the mission in this world, according to Nightingale's speculation, has so-called unknown dangers, it is probably due to the strange ecological environment here."
But thankfully.
For ordinary poisonous insects or poisonous skills, high defense physique and external energy shield will be their nemesis.
It just so happens!
Chen Mo met both of these conditions.
But for the sake of caution, he couldn't help but continue to ask: "What do you mean by the anti-toxic property you just mentioned?"
Hearing this, the guard squad leader responded: "In addition to the body's innate survival resistance, in order to better adapt to the dangerous environment in the fog, we will hunt magical beasts in the fog, or collect some special plants, and use pharmacists to refine the anti-toxic Potion, and then gain stronger anti-poison properties, only then can we try to cross the fog, reach other castles, or go to Glory City."
It seems that just like Dingli, the anti-drug attribute mentioned by the opponent will not be displayed as a panel attribute by the optical brain data chip, and is a hidden attribute.
Chen Mo looked at the weapon in the soldier's hand. It was a spear with a wax-sealed edge.
He keenly noticed the poison sealed by wax on this weapon. It seems that in this world, the two properties of anti-poison and poison have formed a competitive relationship.
And everything behind this is likely to be closely related to the poison master he mentioned.
Suddenly.
Chen Mo stretched out his palm and took the initiative to rub the spear head of the guard captain.
"Ah!!"
The guard captain screamed: "You are crazy!"
This is the disaster that Master Laqi personally instructed to give convenience. If he died here, he would probably have a hard time in the future.
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a knife and tried to perform bloodletting therapy to save Chen Mo.
The so-called bloodletting therapy is a treatment method developed by the people in the fog world to deal with the ubiquitous poisonous insects. Its principle is to release a part of the blood mixed with poison and expel it from the body to dilute the intensity and duration of the toxicity. The treatment effect varies from person to person.
On the other side.
Chen Mo did this, of course, not to cause trouble for himself, but to test his ability to survive in this world in advance.
Tip: You have been hit by acute toxin damage, the damage is 15 points per second, lasting 10 seconds.
Tip: Your Qi and blood value -1.
Tip: Your Qi and blood value -1.
Tip: Your high physical defense has automatically immune to acute toxin damage.
It is just as Chen Mo guessed.
With his physique of 26 points of defense at this moment, he is basically immune to low-level acute toxin damage. Even if the terrifying doctor is resurrected, Chen Mo can basically ignore his poisonous tongue attack skills.
This acute toxin attack is obviously a powerful weapon for the strong to kill the weak, but if it is used against the strong, it can almost be ignored by the other party.
Seeing that the captain of the guards took out a knife and was about to bleed his wound, Chen Mo hurriedly signaled: "I'm fine."
The captain stopped his action after hearing this.
When he saw that Chen Mo was almost unaffected, the guards around him were also shocked and marveled at Chen Mo's anti-poison attribute.
This is undoubtedly an outstanding existence among adventurers.
Seeing this, the captain of the guards slowly put away the knife, looked at Chen Mo with displeasure and said: "Then you shouldn't hurt yourself in this way. The Schumacher family's poison is not for nothing!"
"Sorry."
After Chen Mo apologized, he explained: "It's just because of the task assigned by Master Lazi, I must have a basic understanding of my own strength. Can such anti-poison attributes survive in the fog?"
The captain of the guards heard this and said lightly: "Of course, but don't forget to bring sulfur powder. The foggy forest at night and the foggy forest during the day are two different worlds."
After leaving the castle, Chen Mo walked forward for a few kilometers and finally came to the edge of the "fog wall".
It's not wrong to say that this is a fog wall.
A dozen meters away, it was still a hot environment with bright sunshine, but here, it was already very humid, and visibility dropped rapidly, as if it were two different worlds.
These strange mists flowed past Chen Mo like ghosts with self-awareness.
As Chen Mo continued to go deeper, the visibility in front of him was even less than ten meters.
There were towering giant trees everywhere, growing in various strange postures, and the branches were often covered with vines. The plants here have adapted to this dark environment, and strange bird calls were heard from time to time, highlighting the terrible silence of the forest.
This silence is not that there is no life here.
It's as if the environment here is consciously swallowing up the interference of sound through the intricate connections with each other, so that all kinds of poisonous insects here can reproduce and thrive quietly.
Chen Mo raised his palm.
The surrounding mist, with the movement of Chen Mo's palm, formed waves and whirlpools in front of him like flowing water.
These mists are like a special natural energy, full of magic.
Tip: You have been hit by acute poison damage, 8 points per second, for 5 seconds.
Tip: Your health value -1.
When Chen Mo was observing the mist, the optical brain data chip almost unconsciously reminded him that he had suffered acute poison damage.
However, his strong physical defense naturally made him immune to this poison.
But the other party was able to complete the poison attack without him noticing, which really surprised him. After careful searching, he finally found that a leech-like poisonous insect had landed on his collar unknowingly.
You know, it has probably not been even a minute since he entered the misty forest.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out a container and temporarily stored the poisonous insect to take back as mission intelligence.
In the next less than half an hour of exploration.
Even though Chen Mo was very careful, he was still attacked by poisonous insects twice.
During this period, he collected more than a dozen poisonous insects of different types, collected them one by one, and then returned to the Schumacher family castle with satisfaction.
Bailu wishes everyone a happy New Year, good health and everything goes well in the new year. We also hope that our world can overcome the disease crisis as soon as possible!
