disaster strikes

Chapter 68 The Misty Forest
In the early morning, everyone was separately responsible for investigating the clues of this mission.

The situation in the castle was indeed as the servant said, the Schumacher family did not interrogate or obstruct Chen Mo and his party.

The castle of the Schumacher family 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 of ​​the core members of the family, and the outer living area of ​​the affiliated people.

In the entire castle, the resident population is only about two to three thousand people.

Among them, there are less than 200 people, wearing the Schumacher family badge, in the form of a small team, haunting the city walls, streets and exclusive training grounds.

Besides.

There are also a large number of outsiders called adventurers. They roam the vast and dangerous areas all year round, bringing prey and luxury goods to the markets of various castles for sale, which is also one of the main sources of income in the castle.

On the bluestone floor of the street, the surface looks like it is covered with a layer of oil, full of filth and dirt, mice and cockroaches, almost in groups in the corners.

In such an environment, Chen Mo couldn't help but shook his head and continued to walk forward.

"Woooo."

A little girl cried and asked her mother to carry her on her back, but the mother sternly said: "If you don't obey me, the ghost fog will come and catch you at night!"

When the little girl heard this, she was so frightened that she stopped crying.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help smiling, and soon came to the gate of the castle guarded by a team of guards.

"Mist world."

Chen Mo remembered the name of this world mentioned in the reminder of the optical brain data chip.

And when he stood in front of the castle gate and saw the distance, he couldn't help murmuring.

The surrounding area outside the castle is a stretch of wheat fields. The farmers are intensively cultivating the fields, and the warm sunshine is shining on the wheat fields.

As far as the eye can see, it is warm and dry, people come and go, birds are singing and flowers are fragrant.

Except that people's living standards seem to be roughly equivalent to Europe in the [-]th century, other things don't seem to be much different from the earth's environment.

however!
When Chen Mo's field of vision looked further into the distance, the outer area less than five kilometers away from the castle, he saw a wall of fog visible to the naked eye, straight into the sky, and appeared in his field of vision impressively.

Living in Schumacher Castle at the moment is like living in the eye of a storm, with a feeling of sitting in a well and watching 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 in farming, animal husbandry, hunting, and the other part is the world in the mist outside, full of damp and unknown.

The so-called castle is like an isolated island in the sea, a rare peaceful harbor in a dangerous environment.

"Is it shrouded in fog all year round?"

Standing in front of the castle gate, Chen Mo instinctively asked the guard next to him.

"what!?"

This guard, wearing light animal skin armor and wearing a badge symbolizing the Schumacher family on his chest, immediately showed incomparable astonishment after hearing Chen Mo's inquiry.

He looked at Chen Mo like a fool.

At this time, the captain of the guard team came over and responded, "Yes sir, the place is shrouded in fog all the year round, and it is full of poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. If you go in, you must be careful."

Seeing Chen Mo's pensive expression, the captain of the guard continued: "Actually, it's not so much that it's been shrouded in fog all year round, it's better to say that we're protected by God, so we're not shrouded in fog."

"is that so."

Chen Mo nodded and continued to ask: "You just said that the mist is full of various poisonous insects and dangerous creatures. What do you mean?"

When the captain of the guard heard this, he showed a dignified look.

"Poisonous insects are almost everywhere. As for those dangerous creatures, they are also called monsters, or strange beasts. It is said that they are mutated monsters formed after being polluted by powerful poison masters. They have various shapes and are relatively rare outside the mist. They The flesh and blood has anti-poison properties, and anti-poison potions can be extracted from the pharmacist, and many powerful adventurer teams hunt and kill these monsters for a living."

Poison Master, Warcraft.

Compared with these deep-seated clues, Chen Mo pays more attention to poisonous insects at this time. This should be the basic ecological law of the misty world, and it also reminded him of Dr. Horror's poisonous tongue attack during the starving ghost trial.

If it is so dangerous, it really has to be guarded against.

"If it's a mission in this world, according to Nightingale's speculation, there are so-called unknown dangers, most likely due to the weird ecological environment here."

But thankfully.

For general poisonous insects or highly poisonous skills, high defense constitution and external energy shield will be their nemesis.

Coincidentally!

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-drug properties you just mentioned?"

Hearing this, the captain of the guard 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 monsters in the fog, or collect some special plants, and use pharmacists to refine anti-drugs. Potion, and then get stronger anti-poison properties. Only in this way, we can try to pass through the fog, reach other castles, or go to Glory City."

It seems that, like Dingli, the anti-drug attribute mentioned by the other party will not be displayed as a panel attribute by the optical brain data chip, and it is a hidden attribute.

Chen Mo looked at the weapon in the soldier's hand. It was a spear with a wax-sealed tip.

He keenly noticed the poisonousness of this weapon sealed with wax oil. It seems that in this world, the two attributes of poison resistance and poisonousness have formed a competitive relationship.

And everything behind this is likely to be closely related to the poison master he spoke of.

Sudden.

I saw Chen Mo stretch out his palm, and he took the initiative to rub against the spearhead of the captain of the guard.

"what!!"

The captain of the guard suddenly exclaimed: "You are crazy!"

This is what Master Lacy personally confessed to the natural disaster victim who wants to give convenience. If he dies here, he will probably have a sad life 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 people in the misty world to deal with the ubiquitous poisonous insects. Its principle is to release part of the blood mixed with highly toxic and excrete it from the body, so as to dilute the intensity and duration of the toxicity. The effect of treatment varies from person to person.

the other side.

When Chen Mo did this, he was naturally not asking for trouble, but wanted to test his ability to survive in this world in advance.

Tips: You have received acute poison damage, the damage is 15 points per second for 10 seconds.

Tip: Your blood value is -1.

Tip: Your blood value is -1.

Tip: Your high physical defense has been automatically immune to acute poison damage.

Sure enough, it was the same as Chen Mo guessed.

With his 26-point defensive physique at the moment, he is basically immune to low-level acute toxin damage. Even if the horror doctor is resurrected, Chen Mo can basically ignore his poisonous tongue attack skills.

This kind of acute toxin attack is obviously a powerful weapon for the strong to kill the weak, but if it is against the strong, it can almost be ignored by the opponent.

Seeing that the captain of the guard took out his knife and was about to bleed his wound, Chen Mo hurriedly signaled, "I'm fine."

Hearing this, the captain stopped his movements.

After he saw that Chen Mo had almost no influence, the guards around him couldn't help being surprised, and they all marveled at Chen Mo's anti-drug attribute.

Among the adventurers, this is undoubtedly an outstanding existence.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard slowly put away the knife, looked at Chen Mo with a displeased face and said, "Then you shouldn't use this method to harm yourself, the poison of the Schumacher family is not for nothing!"

"Feel sorry."

After Chen Mo apologized, he explained: "It's just because of the task assigned by Master Lacy, I must have a basic understanding of my own strength. May I ask if such an anti-drug attribute can survive in the fog?"

Hearing this, the captain of the guard said calmly: "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 is true to say that this is a wall of fog.

Ten meters away, it was still hot and sunny, but here, it was already very humid, and the visibility dropped rapidly, like two different worlds.

These weird fogs, like ghosts with self-awareness, flowed past Chen Mo.

As Chen Mo continued to go deeper, the visibility in front of him was even less than ten meters.

There are towering giant trees all around, growing in various strange postures, and the branches are often covered with vines. The plants here have adapted to this dark environment, and there are strange birdsong from time to time, highlighting the horror of the forest. quiet.

This quietness does not mean that the place is dead.

Instead, it seems that the environment here is consciously devouring the interference of sound through the intertwined connection with each other, so that all kinds of poisonous insects here can reproduce quietly.

Chen Mo raised his palm.

The surrounding mist, following the movement of Chen Mo's palm, seemed to flow in front of him, forming waves and whirlpools.

These fogs seem to be a special kind of natural energy, full of magic.

Tips: You have received acute poison damage, the damage is 8 points per second for 5 seconds.

Tip: Your blood value is -1.

When Chen Mo was observing the fog, almost unconsciously, the optical brain data chip reminded him that he had suffered acute toxin damage.

However, his strong physical defense is naturally immune to this toxin.

But the other party was able to complete the toxin attack without him noticing, which really surprised him. After searching carefully, he finally found that a poisonous insect in the shape of a leech had unknowingly landed on his clothes. collar.

One must know that from the time he entered the foggy forest to the present, it may not even be a minute.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out a container and temporarily stored the poisonous insect, taking it back as mission information.

In the next less than half an hour of exploration.

Even though Chen Mo was very careful, he was attacked by poisonous insects twice.

During this period, he successively 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.

　Egret wishes everyone a happy new year, good health and good luck in the new year, and also wishes our world to get through the crisis of illness as soon as possible!
