In the west of Xingyue Empire, there is a huge depression with an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Because this depression is covered with dense white fog all the year round, it is difficult for people to see anything ten meters away as long as they enter it. So later xuanyue people named this huge depression as misty swamp.
The fog swamp is not only shrouded by a strong white fog all the year round, but also in a crisis step by step. If you are not careful, you are very likely to be trapped in those bottomless mires. Moreover, the swamp is very humid, which is most suitable for the growth of those poisons. Therefore, the poisonous snakes, insects and ants in the fog swamp are also the most poisonous in the whole. Once bitten by those poisons, If not treated in time, it is likely to stay in the fog swamp forever.
Of course, since ancient times, crisis and opportunity coexist. Although there are countless poisonous insects and leeches in the misty swamp, and there are bottomless mires everywhere, the geographical environment of the misty swamp is very suitable for the growth of those top medicinal materials. At least a dozen extremely expensive medicinal materials grow in the misty swamp.
People die for money and birds die for food. People will pick the best medicinal materials where they have them, even though this place is a fog swamp with high mortality. So every year, the adventurous mercenaries who rely on looking for treasure don't rush into the fog swamp, hoping to find a valuable medicinal plant. When they sell it at a high price, they can not only make their life rich, but also buy some high-grade pills to improve their strength.
When the night lonely star three reached the entrance of the misty swamp, no less than dozens of adventurous mercenary teams had gathered there. These adventurous mercenary teams were all gathered around their own teams. They ate food, closed their eyes and chatted with each other. No one ever bothered anyone.
The arrival of the three night lonely stars attracted the attention of all the mercenaries present, and all of them looked at them with strange eyes.
In the impression of these mercenaries, they are the only ones who have been risking their lives in the fog swamp all the time. I didn't expect that these well-dressed aristocratic maids and ladies would come here to compete with them.
The life of the mercenaries is the life of licking blood on the edge of the knife, so they are more casual. When they see the beauty like Murong Qianqian, some brave people can't help whistling to Murong Qianqian.
Murong, who is the king of the moon Empire, is the princess of the moon empire. For these flirtatious mercenaries, Murong's eyebrows are wrinkled. Then she is ready to pull out the long sword and give a lesson to those mercenaries who dare to laugh at her and whistle in the mouth.
But just as she was ready to start, the night star on one side stopped her in a hurry.
"Murong chick, don't make trouble. If they whistle, let them whistle. You won't lose a piece of meat!" The lonely night Star whispered.
"Hum, a group of unruly hooligans. If Miss Ben doesn't teach them a lesson, they will really bully me!" Murong Qian said with a cold face.
"Well, why don't you listen to the advice? Don't make trouble if you don't make trouble. Don't forget, this time we're here to find medicine for elder martial brother Ji, but we're not here to fight. " Night alone star stares at Murong Qian Qian to say.
"Besides, although these mercenaries are cheap, it's definitely not the first time for them to enter the misty swamp. Maybe we can know the position of Cymbidium from their mouths." Night lonely star continues to persuade to say.
Maybe the Ji Wujiu mentioned in the night lonely star played a role. Murong Qianqian, who originally wanted to teach the mercenaries a lesson, calmed down instantly.
Seeing that Murong Qianqian on one side no longer makes trouble for himself, night lonely star laughs at those whistling mercenaries and says, "ha ha, thank you for your greeting. I didn't expect that our brother and sister are still so popular."
The night lonely star's words made the mercenaries whistling stunned immediately. In their impression, the young men and young women from the aristocratic family, who are not arrogant people with eyes above the top, are not like the young man in black, not only have no sense of superiority, Even they feel a little bit of their loose habits from the night lonely star.
"Come here, young man, there is a clean space here. Come and sit down with your companions." Night lonely star's joke seems to have played a role. A seemingly older mercenary suddenly points to a clean space behind him and says.
"Ha ha, thank you, uncle!" Night lonely star said with a laugh, after that, he took purple Wufeng and Murong Qianqian to sit on the open space.
"Here, uncle, this is our own dried meat. Try it. Although it's a little cold, it's still delicious." As soon as he sat down, night lonely star took out the dried meat prepared in the bag and gave it to the mercenary uncle who gave him a place.
"Ha ha, thank you, young master. It took us half a month to come to this misty swamp. The dried meat we carried was eaten three days ago. We've been eating coarse grain cakes these days, and the smell of birds has faded from our mouths." The middle-aged mercenary is not polite either. He says happily with the dried meat handed by the lonely star overnight. Then he tears the dried meat into four or five parts and gives them to the team members sitting next to him.
Several mercenary members sitting next to him may not have smelled the meat for several days. They took the dried meat from the middle-aged mercenary and ate it with the water in the kettle.
"What's your name, uncle?" When the middle-aged mercenaries were eating the dried meat in their hands, night lonely star suddenly asked.
"Uncle is not uncle. If you look up to me, please call me old Jack. Anyway, that's what all the members of our iron blood mercenary team call me." The middle-aged mercenary said boldly.
"That little brother dare to call uncle old Jack. Old Jack, you are not young. You should have been a mercenary for many years Night lonely star asked with a smile.
"Of course, our captain's name is very loud in the mercenary world. As long as we are a little famous mercenaries, who won't give our captain some face?" Old Jack did not speak, sitting beside him a simple and honest young man with a strong body immediately said with pride.
"Xiao Lu, shut up. Some people eat quickly. What are you talking about in front of the young master?" Old Jack scolded at once.
"It is." The young mercenary called Xiaolu muttered with a defiant face.
"If you talk again, I'll take the dried meat in your hand!" Old Jack glared and reprimanded again.
This move is really effective, originally also a face not satisfied with the small Lu immediately wilted, like a baby in the hands of the dried meat to the inside of the big mouth.
"I'm laughing. I'm a young player and I don't understand. Don't blame me!" Old Jack said awkwardly.
"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Brother Lu is also a straightforward person. I like brother Lu's character." Night lonely star ha ha a smile, immediately to small Lu said: "big brother Lu eat slowly, not enough I have here, tube full." With that, night lonely star throws a piece of dried meat to Xiao Lu.
Then, with the dried meat thrown by the lonely star overnight, Xiao Lu grinned.
"Young master, are you going to enter the misty forest Asked Old Jack.
"Old Jack, you're right. This time our brother and sister are going into the fog swamp. I'm afraid it's not the first time to look at you, old Jack? I want to ask you about the origin of a kind of medicinal material? " Asked the lonely night star.
"Ha ha, young master, you're asking the right person. Old Jack, I'm not good at it, but I've been in the fog swamp at least ten times. Just ask what you want, young master. I'll tell you what I know." Old Jack said with a smile.
"Old Jack, I don't know if you've ever seen this herb in the misty swamp. There's an elder in my younger brother's family who is seriously injured. He urgently needs this herb to heal his wounds!" The night lone star stares into old Jack's eyes and asks.
"Water orchid?" Listening to the night lonely star's words, old Jack's dark forehead instantly wrinkled up, as if in memory of what.
"Well, old Jack, do you have any impression?" See old Jack began to ponder, night lonely star anxious again asked.
"Well, I have a little impression, but I'm not sure. I can only give you a general position. After all, I've heard about the position of Cymbidium Old Jack nodded.
"Well, just know the general location. Old Jack, can you mark it for me on the map On hearing old Jack's words, night lonely star immediately said with surprise, and then put a more detailed map of fog swamp in front of old Jack.
With the map and pen in his hand, old Jack began to draw slowly on the map by virtue of the position of the water orchid in his memory. In a few minutes, he drew the position of the water orchid in the misty swamp.
"Young master, this area should be the place where water orchid grows. I heard one of my dead teammates say that if he didn't lie, there should be a lot of water orchid growing here. It's just that the scope is a little too large. " After marking the map, old Jack said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter. You've narrowed the scope down a lot. Otherwise, once our brother and sister enter the swamp, they will have to rush like headless flies." The night lonely star says gratefully with a smile.
"Ha ha, it's good for you, but I'd like to remind you, brother and sister, that the area I just marked is the most dangerous area in the misty swamp. There are not only many mud pools, but also many poisonous insects. Even I heard that there are many poisonous snakes in the natural world. Once you enter that area, you must be very careful, otherwise you may not come back. " Old Jack said with a serious face.
"Thanks for old Jack's warning. We'll pay more attention to it." The night lonely star bows to old Jack and thanks.
"Well, that's OK. In three hours, the fog will dissipate a little. I won't talk to you any more. I need to take a break!" Old Jack nodded, and then suddenly closed his eyes.
