disaster strikes

Chapter 232 The Miasma Land
In front of the east gate of Tao City, hundreds of people had already gathered here.

After all, the carrying space of the storage bag is limited, and it will not ignore the weight problem like natural disasters eroding the storage space. Therefore, when business travelers want to transport large-volume goods or heavy goods, they can only use traditional modes of transportation.

That's not to say there aren't more premium storage bags, either.

For example, on the second floor of the Xuanling Pagoda, some monks collected a small batch of robots with high-end storage bags.

But these storage bags are relatively rare and not widely available.

Chen Mo signed up for this caravan called the Hedong Merchant Group. There are many "loose cultivators" like him. After joining the caravan, they will become the outer guard of the caravan.

Therefore, the caravan is also keen to accept these casual repairs.

Departing from the Tao City of Leilan Country to the Daze Country, one needs to cross the poisonous miasma that stretches for hundreds of miles.

The land of poisonous miasma is the border buffer area between the Daze Kingdom and the Leilan Kingdom. Like the dangerous areas between other countries, it is a natural dangerous land left by wars in ancient times, and various dangers emerge in endlessly.

But the poisonous miasma land is different from the general dangerous land.

During the War of the Ancients, this place seemed to have been a gathering place for invaders. As a result, in addition to the highly poisonous and undead creatures that are used to in the poisonous places of the Guixu world, many metal monsters were left behind in the poisonous miasma.

These metal monsters feed on monks' instruments and various minerals all year round, which is extremely dangerous.

Generally speaking.

After the War of the Ancients, these metal creatures were more distributed in the ancient battlefield area on the other side of the continent. For unknown reasons, a gathering area also formed in this area.

These metal creatures.

As a result, it is invulnerable to swords and guns, and it is difficult for ordinary Qi training monks to fight.

Secondly, some of them were infected with the death energy of this place and produced new mutants, which became even more dangerous and difficult to deal with.

In addition, killing these creatures will not produce any beneficial resources for the monks at all, so the high-level monks of the various sects don't bother to pay attention to these difficult and dangerous creatures, and let them serve as Leilan Kingdom's rivals in the poisonous miasma. The barrier between Daze countries continues.

"With the participation of Master Chen Mo on this trip, the safety of our Hedong caravan will undoubtedly add another point."

The shopkeeper of the caravan said the polite words to almost every new casual cultivator, and Chen Mo didn't take it to heart.

After a while.

Chen Mo was arranged by the caravan to be near the back row, responsible for guarding the three fully loaded carriages nearby.

Due to the long distance, Chen Mo sat in the carriage in the middle, and the hunchbacked old man driving the carriage smiled modestly at Chen Mo.

"Is this the first time the immortal master has crossed the poisonous miasma?"

When Chen Mo heard the words, he didn't mean to hide it.

"how?"

The hunchbacked old man was driving the carriage, with a relaxed and freehand look, and he didn't seem to take the poisonous land in his eyes at all.
"Immortal Master, don't be nervous. Although the poisonous miasma land is dangerous in the eyes of outsiders, the Chamber of Commerce has already mastered several safe routes, all of which avoid the territory of those golden-core beasts. As for the bone demons that should live here, As well as all kinds of poisons produced in response to the poisonous miasma, the caravan also has countermeasures, and it can be guaranteed to be safe under normal circumstances."

Hearing the old man's self-confidence, Chen Mo couldn't help showing surprise.

The golden-core beast mentioned by the other party is obviously the metal monster mentioned by the monk, that is, the things left by those half-metal transformed people behind the world barrier opened by the evil god of the tomb on the fifth floor of the Gulan Temple.

And the other party called it the Golden Core Beast, obviously because it is said that after killing these metal monsters, a kind of metal ball will appear in the body, so it was named.

It's just that the monks have not discovered the use of this "golden core" after a long period of research.

Seeing Chen Mo like this, the old man smiled complacently.

"However, after so many years of life and death for the Chamber of Commerce, I have had bad luck a few times and encountered migrating golden-core beasts, so I have mastered a set of life-saving methods. As long as I don't wear metal ornaments on my body, it will generally not cause these terrible golden-core beasts to attack. hostility."

Chen Mo smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Been taught a lesson."

The convoy moved forward steadily. There were about forty or fifty vehicles, and most of them were loaded with Lingzhu, a special product of Leilan Country.

About two hours later.

"alert!"

The shouting in front made Chen Mo put away the books, and instinctively looked at the hunchbacked old man beside him.

The old man took a puff of his cigarette but still seemed indifferent.

"It's the miasma area on the outskirts. After passing this miasma area, even if you have officially entered the land of poisonous miasma, there is generally no danger, but you must be careful of evil cultivators who may hide here, but with the strength of our caravan, gathered There should be no problem with so many monks."

Hearing what the hunchbacked old man said, Chen Mo also felt relieved.

Another hour passed.

The surrounding miasma and mist gradually thinned, and the forest gradually became quieter.

The plants here are black and gray, very similar to the polluted plants in the secret area of ​​the Gulan Temple, and they faintly reveal a decaying and dead air.

Roar.

In front of the convoy, there was a hoarse roar.

However, the team had no intention of stopping at all.

It was only after Chen Mo's carriage approached that the so-called hoarse roar came from the flower of this strange plant. Because the root stem was cut off by the monk in front, it flowed out bright red juice like blood, and the flower fell to the ground After that, he let out a mournful howl.

The hunchbacked old man just took a casual look with an attitude of not being surprised.

"This is the beauty thorn. It can imitate a woman's singing at night. Once curious people get close, they will be entangled and sucked by it. When I was young, I saw two good boys being sucked by this kind of thing overnight. Become a human being."

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Mo nodded.

"It's really weird enough."

When the wheels of the carriage rolled over the severed thorn, the shrill scream was like a woman's mourning, making Chen Mo take a second look.

Most of these are evil creatures mutated by the fusion of various complex environments.

Night falls.

The caravan vehicles gathered together, and a [-]th-level Qi training monk named Jing Dong, holding a wooden fish-shaped magic weapon, prayed around the caravan.

Chen Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"This is the Chamber's secret weapon against those bone demons."

The hunchbacked old man knocked on the tobacco rod, and turned over the broken tobacco leaves inside.

The bone demon he mentioned naturally refers to the undead creatures born under the influence of the death energy here, and the wooden fish-shaped magic weapon just now does seem to have the effect of "exorcising evil" from a Buddhist magic weapon.

That's it.

Chen Mo followed the caravan headed for the Daze Country, and traveled all the way without any danger.

three days later.

As it approached the border of the Daze Kingdom, the various dangers in the poisonous miasma seemed to gradually increase.

Suddenly, strange lines protruded from the muddy ground, as if they had been ambushing here for a long time. The caravan was caught off guard and fell into great chaos.

In Chen Mo's hand, there were a few more iron pieces.

Under the control of his basic thought power, these metal iron pieces floated up and turned into afterimages, slashing towards the strange touch closest to him.

Under Chen Mo's attack, this strange touch was split into two.

A broken body about two meters fell.

But this truncated body part, like a gecko's tail, kept beating in the mud, throwing out a foul-smelling green liquid.

Liquid appears to contain corrosive ingredients.

After being thrown on Chen Mo's body, it just made his skin itchy, indicating that the defense was lowered, but the old horse beside him let out a scream.

"what!!"

He kept wiping the skin splashed by the green liquid.

In a short period of time, this piece of skin turned into blood, and the severe pain made him roll on the ground.

"Old horse!"

After spending these three days together, Chen Mo and the hunchbacked old man have already known each other.

After he saw the miserable state of the other party, Chen Mo quickly released the reverse mind force bomb on him, which relieved his pain, and turned on the kettle to clean his wound.

"careful!"

The old horse shouted hoarsely to remind.

Sensing the danger, Chen Mo led him to roll on the spot.

Bang!
The carriage next to the two, like a toy building block, was shattered by this huge monster with a diameter of about half a meter and a length of at least ten meters.

Seeing this, Chen Mo gasped.

Compared to this strange touch with astonishing size, the strange touch he killed just now is just the son of the strange touch.

Look around.

There are quite a few such giant monsters. There are only twenty or thirty monks in the caravan, half of them are long-term hired monks of the caravan, and the other half are casual cultivators. At this moment, everyone is in chaos.

"Thank you."

The old horse who escaped with his life had an extremely ugly expression on his face.

Chen Mo saw panic and confusion in his eyes.

"What kind of creatures are these, old horse, do you know?"

Hearing this, the old horse shook his head, his expression a little ugly.

"I have followed the caravan for more than 30 years, and I have never seen this kind of social creature, and I have never heard of it from anyone else."

"what!!"

While the two were talking, another groom not far away let out a miserable scream.

I saw another monster with an astonishing size, using the suction cup on its body to roll it, it actually sucked the person and threw it into the air.

Immediately the monster touched the top, opened its mouth like a chrysanthemum, and swallowed the screaming coachman in one gulp.

puff.

After the strange touch trembled for a while, it retracted into the soil again.

"Old Yang!!"

Seeing this, the old horse cried out sadly, but to no avail.

Seeing another strange touch protruding from the ground and attacking Chen Mo, he glanced at the corroded iron sheet in his hand. At most, if he persisted in killing this strange touch, he might be completely corroded.

But at this time, I can't care so much.

While attacking this strange touch, he moved flexibly to dodge it.

Although the attack power of these strange touches is strong, and the corrosive damage is not bad, but the flexibility is not high.

After a while.

Under Chen Mo's attack, this strange touch was killed by him.

The old horse with previous experience hid under another carriage to avoid being hurt by the corrosive liquid.

After seeing Chen Mo kill the monster, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then he noticed that the soil under his feet seemed to be loosening.

His pupils suddenly shrank.

There was no time to react, a big mouth like a chrysanthemum suddenly popped up, and the target was the old horse hiding under the carriage. After a short scream, sawdust flew from the wheel, and the old horse disappeared without a trace.

When Chen Mo regained consciousness after killing the monster in front of him, there was no old horse behind him.

The battlefield can be described as quite chaotic, with screams and strange attacks everywhere, and the old horse can no longer be found.

"Hey."

Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Chen Mo knew that he probably died here.
