Chapter 579
The group had just passed through the mesmerizing corridor and were still recovering from the previous thrill when the scene before them made their hearts tighten.
A vast underground swamp stretched out before them, filled with colorful poisonous miasma, like a dreamlike yet deadly fog.
"This poisonous miasma looks dangerous, everyone be careful."
Zhang Hao reminded him with a serious expression.
Everyone put on gas masks, but they soon discovered that ordinary gas masks were no match for the poisonous miasma.
The toxic miasma contained strong corrosive substances, and within moments, mottled corrosion marks began to appear on the surface of the gas mask.
"What can we do? The gas mask is useless!"
"The fat man shouted anxiously."
Just then, a ripple suddenly appeared in the swamp, and a huge mud monster emerged from the mud.
This mud monster was covered in countless wriggling tentacles, each one emitting a nauseating stench.
Its body appears to be composed of rotten mud and slime, and it makes a "sizzling" sound when it moves.
Before anyone could react, the Mud Monster swung its tentacles and attacked them.
The fat man raised his gun and fired a burst of bullets at the Mud Monster, but the bullets hit it as if they were stuck in a mud pit, only splashing up some mud and causing almost no damage.
At the same time, countless poisonous leeches emerged from the swamp.
These venomous leeches moved with lightning speed, instantly surrounding the group.
Their mouthparts were incredibly sharp, easily piercing through people's clothing, attaching themselves to their skin, and beginning to suck their blood.
"Ugh! These things are so troublesome!"
As Xie Xiaohua brandished her weapon, trying to drive away the poisonous leeches, she cried out in pain.
The group was in dire straits, with the triple threat of poisonous miasma, rotting mud monsters, and poisonous leeches making every breath they took a dangerous one.
At this critical moment, Wu Tianzhen suddenly remembered the leather map in his hand.
He hurriedly unfolded the map and carefully searched for a safe route through the swamp.
"Don't panic, everyone. There's a relatively safe route marked on the map. Let's follow this direction!"
Wu Tianzhen shouted loudly.
Zhang Hao took a deep breath, quickly forming hand seals. A powerful energy surged from his body, forming a temporarily invisible purification barrier around everyone.
This barrier kept the poisonous miasma out, giving everyone a chance to catch their breath.
"I can only maintain this barrier for a short time, everyone hurry up!"
Zhang Hao shouted.
Holding the black gold ancient sword, Zhang Qilin led the way.
His gaze was resolute, and every step he took was steady and powerful. When he encountered mud monsters and poisonous leeches blocking his path, he swung his knife without hesitation.
The black gold ancient sword seemed to come alive in his hands, gleaming with a cold light as it slew the strange creatures one by one.
The group followed closely behind Zhang Qilin, making their way along the path marked on the map.
They had to be careful with every step they took, for fear of getting stuck in the mud.
The poisonous miasma continuously eroded Zhang Hao's purification barrier, emitting a hissing sound, like the whispers of a demon.
"Brother Hao, how much longer can we hold on?"
"I can't believe it," the fat man asked nervously. Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said:
"Almost there, we'll be out of this dangerous area soon, just hang in there!"
Just as the barrier was about to break, everyone finally saw the edge of the swamp.
They exerted all their strength and quickened their pace, successfully escaping the poisonous swamp the moment the barrier shattered.
Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Recalling their experience in the swamp, everyone was still shaken.
However, they knew that this was just a small episode in their journey, and that many more unknown dangers awaited them ahead.
