    "Dare to walk out of this room, I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow."

    Su Mo's extremely cold voice came, and Nelson and Shi Xingze, who were about to reach the door, froze at the same time - the flaming small universe instantly extinguished.

    "Uh, hehe, your friend... um, very interesting!" After returning to his senses, Arthur racked his brains and couldn't come up with a suitable adjective, so he had to use 'interesting' instead.

    "Smiled."

    Su Mo was a little embarrassed, gave Nelson and Shi Xingze a cold look, signaled them not to mess around, and then pulled back to the main topic: "We don't want to traverse the wild swamp... In fact, maybe we don't have to go deep. . But these are not important, we only have one request: you and your mercenary group assist us in deepening during the contract period, and keep Nelson safe."

    "Although it is very presumptuous, I would like to ask you, what is your purpose?" The question is very sensitive, but the smile on Arthur's face is very kind and does not make people feel offended.

    After a long silence, Su Mo said: "After entering the wild swamp, I will choose a suitable opportunity to tell you."

    "Two hundred kilometers!"

    Jenny spoke suddenly, with a very serious tone, "This is the limit we can bear in this season, and it will become very dangerous to continue to go deeper!"

    Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Okay! I will tell you the real purpose at that time. Whether Fierce Fang chooses to continue or give up, we will never obstruct it."

    "Half commission."

    Arthur said, "Usually only one-third, but this season...you know, we also need to support our family."

    "no problem."

    Su Mo agreed very happily, and asked, "How many people?"

    "Four."

    Su Mo frowned, and Arthur explained, "The main force of Fierce Fang is eight, but the other four have other tasks to do. If we only go 200 kilometers deep, the four of us are enough."

    Su Mo nodded and didn't care too much about this. After all, compared to the number of people, Fierce Fang's experience in the wild swamp was more attractive to him.

    "How long does it take to prepare?"

    "It depends on when the employer wants to go."

    "The sooner the better."

    Arthur thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then tomorrow morning!"

    The next step is to negotiate the price and the meeting place. After everything was negotiated, the four of Su Mo left the hut...

    "Captain, do we really want to take this mission? I always feel that their purpose is not simple!" Jenny asked quickly after the four left.

    Arthur nodded in agreement, and then smiled: "No matter what their purpose is, we just need to keep the bottom line. If it is such an insatiable employer, we can give up the other half of the commission if necessary."

    Of course, this is only a last resort. After all, giving up the employer will damage the reputation of their mercenary group. Although the four of Su Mo did not look simple, Arthur had the same confidence in himself and his companions, and was not afraid of their tricks.

    "Alright then, I'll inform Bian Long and Xiaojie..."

    In the early morning of the second day, Su Mo and others came to the appointed place, and the four members of the Fierce Tooth Mercenary Group had been waiting for a long time;

    After the two sides introduced themselves, Su Mo also knew the names and occupations of the other two;

    Bian Long and Shi Xingze are both big men. What's more coincidental is that both of them are Berserkers and have similar temperaments, both of which are the kind of carefree personality.

    Compared to the enthusiastic Bian Long, Xiaojie is much more shy. Although he doesn't talk much, his strength should not be underestimated. He is a magician who cultivates both ice and fire.

    The strongest of the four is naturally Arthur. This bright knight is not only powerful, but also very knowledgeable about the world. He can always take care of everyone's emotions, and even ignore the ghost face with the weakest sense of existence.

    After the two sides met, they quickly became acquainted with Arthur's mediation. Especially Shi Xingze and Bian Long, the two of them who met at first sight chatted so much that they wanted to meet each other too late.

    "Giggle, I didn't see it, you little nobleman is quite humorous!"

    Jenny's hearty laughter came from her ears, and Nelson's blushing face, who was following her, showed obvious excitement and excitement. Look at that posture, it has been completely tamed by the 'Queen'.

    Even the most shy Xiaojie has been following the ghost face, and from time to time he can catch up with a word or two...

    As expected of an experienced mercenary group, everyone is not easy!

    "Mr. Su, your companion must be a very good assassin."

    Arthur's gentle voice came, and Su Mo knew that he was talking about ghost faces. Su Mo glanced at him and said noncommittally, "Perhaps, you seem to be very interested in him?"

    "Hehe, it's abrupt, don't take it offend Mr. Su."

    Arthur has a gentle aura on his body, which makes it easy for people to unwittingly let go of their guards. Even certain sensitive questions come out of his mouth without being offended.

    Compared with Nelson and Shi Xingze, Su Mo obviously felt that Arthur was more interested in him and Ghost Face. But this guy is also smart enough to stop at every inquiry, never to the point of being objectionable.

    "Mr. Su is more special than Mr. Ghost Face, such as..." Halfway through the sentence, Arthur suddenly stopped.

    Su Mo glanced at him in surprise, only to see Arthur frowning and staring at the back, and then calling out to Jenny who was having sex with Nelson, "Jenny, over there!"

    Jenny was stunned for a moment, then twisted her waist and jumped onto a big tree very dexterously.

    After a while, a woman's voice came from the tree with a half-smile, "Oh, it seems that you guys are very popular!"

    After thinking about it for a while, Su Mo understood what Jenny meant by 'popular', and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

    Arthur was startled by the killing intent that flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and said quickly, "It's just a few blind fleas, leave it to us."

    After he finished speaking, he gestured towards Bian Long, who was chatting happily with Shi Xingze. Bian Long immediately understood what Arthur meant, and immediately patted Shi Xingze on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Brother, we have a few more tails behind us. How about a trip, brother?"

    "Tail?"

    Shi Xingze quickly turned his head to look behind him, "Where's the tail?"

    "Hahaha, brother is so funny!"

    "You too, brother!"

    "go!"

    "go!"

    Bian Long took Shi Xingze towards the back of them, but Su Mo's brows twitched. Seeing this, Arthur quickly said: "Bian Long has always been like this. He will always be overly enthusiastic when he encounters people who are compatible with him. Don't worry, he will abide by the bottom line that he should have, and he will definitely not put Mr. Shi in danger."

    Su Mo nodded and did not speak, but instead glanced at the ghost face. The ghost face immediately left Xiaojie and quietly followed behind Bian Long and Shi Xingze...

    Seeing this, Arthur also frowned;

    It was not because of Su Mo's distrust of him, but because of his companion, Bian Long, who didn't even notice the ghost face's tail!

    "That guy in the mask is not easy."

    Jenny came to Arthur's side at an unknown time, and whispered, "Xiaojie also thinks he is very strange... Captain, do you think he is a senior stalker of the Dark Night Guild?"

    Arthur shook his head silently, without making a statement.

    After a while, Ghost Mian came back first. He just nodded to Su Mo and returned to his position. After a while, Bian Long and Shi Xingze came back. Seeing that they were talking and laughing, it seemed that they didn't notice the ghost face from beginning to end.

    "It's the 'rattlesnake' people, this group of poisonous tumors treats you as meat buns!"

    'Rattlesnake' is a notorious mercenary group in Robe City. Su Mo and the others have been wandering around the mercenary union for several days, and they have long been eyeing them. After seeing them set off today, the Rattlesnake followed early in the morning.

    It's a pity that they encountered fierce teeth;

    Rather than using pity, it is better to describe it as luck. The fierce-toothed Bian Long only gave the Rattlesnake a lesson and let them go. If it were Su Mo or the ghost face to take action... Hehe, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive alone.

    After removing the tail, a group of eight people continued to move forward, and reached the periphery of the wild swamp at noon.

    "Although the poisonous miasma in this season is much denser than in autumn and winter, it is also divided into different periods." Arthur said, "The worst time is in the evening and early morning, and the thinnest at noon."

    It is said to be thin, but it is still much more serious than autumn and winter;

    Everyone hastily used the food, and Arthur motioned to Jenny to take out the 'Miasma Pill' that their pharmacist had recently suppressed and handed it over to Su Mo and others, and said, "Each pill can last for eight to ten hours. , there are ten in each vase, if you don't have enough, ask me for it."

    Su Mo took the porcelain bottle and poured out a miasma pill. Pi Miasma Dan is about the size of a sugar ball and is purple in color. Seeing that the four of them swallowed the fierce teeth without hesitation, Su Mo also ate one after hesitating for a moment.

    The moment he swallowed the miasma pill, Su Mo felt refreshed, and the effect was much better than the miasma pill they bought privately before.

    "It's true that the miasma pill can eliminate poisonous miasma, but after a long time, there will still be a small amount of poisonous miasma left in the body." Arthur said, "Although we eat a powerful miasma pill, we still can't be careless. Get out of the Savage Swamp in a week."

    Otherwise, even the Great Sword Master's body would not be able to bear it.

    The poisonous miasma is only a part of the savage swamp. In the depths of the swamp and even outside the swamp, there are many more terrifying existences than the poisonous miasma. Su Mo and the others knew about these words even if the fierce teeth did not mention them.

    Fierce Fang is still a relatively competent mercenary group. After stepping into the periphery of the wild swamp, Arthur has been by Su Mo's side, explaining to him where the periphery is more dangerous, which places must not go, and so on.

    Because the purpose of the four of Su Mo was to go deep, not to explore and hunt for treasures, they avoided places that were extremely dangerous and full of unknowns.

    At this time, the advantages of fierce teeth are fully revealed;

    A few days ago, Su Mo and Ghost Mian also tried to break into the wild swamp. However, the two knew nothing about the savage swamp. Although they also bought a peripheral map, their effect was very limited. In less than two hours, the two were driven out of the wild swamp by a group of poisonous bees by mistakenly entering the territory of the fire poisonous bees.

    "Fire poison bee?"

    Arthur said in surprise: "You are lucky to have survived the siege of the fire poison bee without being injured."

    After listening to Arthur explain the power of the fire poisonous bee, Su Mo and the ghost looked at each other and saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

    The fire poison bee is considered a relatively dangerous poisonous insect in the periphery of the savage swamp. Each fire poison bee is the size of a fist, and the strength of a single child is average, and there is no threat at all. However, fire venomous bees are gregarious poisons and have a peculiar way of connecting with each other. As long as you provoke one, it will inevitably attract a large group of Wuyangyang!

    When the number of fire poison bees exceeds one hundred, let alone ordinary people, even great swordsmen dare not rashly provoke them.

    Although the fire poison bee carries the word 'fire', it is the fire that is most afraid of. However, the humidity in the wild swamp is extremely heavy, and it is impossible to cause a fire. At this time, the importance of fire magician was brought out.

    In fact, not only fire poisonous bees, most poisons or monsters have an instinctive fear of fire, thunder, etc. Therefore, any team that goes deep into the wild swamp must be a magician, especially a fire magician.

    "Although there are many dangerous places outside the swamp, most of them belong to the proven area. As long as you are careful, you will not encounter danger."

    Arthur said it easily, but Su Mo was very clear that the premise of all this was to hire a reliable mercenary group.

    Although the outer areas of the savage swamp were basically discovered by major mercenary groups and adventure groups, the specific dangers, how to avoid them, and detailed maps belonged to each mercenary group's biggest secret and trump card, and could never be spread.

    Just like at this moment, the reason why a group of eight people are so relaxed, and they can even chat and laugh from time to time, is not due to luck, but the experience of the Fierce Fang Mercenary Group on the periphery of the wilderness swamp for many years.

    Of course, the price is also high;

    If you want to hire a mercenary group like Fierce Fang, which is very good regardless of reputation or word of mouth, you need not only luck but also enough financial support.

    If Su Mo and the three of them were all players, and the Dream Coins were abundant, and with a little more luck, they wouldn't be able to hire Fierce Tooth. Without fierce teeth, this trip to the wilderness and swamps will inevitably bring a lot of trouble...

    The wild swamp is very large, and Fierce Fang has said that they are at most 200 kilometers deep in this season. But 200 kilometers just crossed the outer area, and it is still a straight-line distance. The swampy hinterland is only bigger and more dangerous.

    Led by Fierce Fang and four people, in just four hours, everyone went deep into dozens of kilometers without any risk, and the speed is not unpleasant.

    After a short pause, Arthur suddenly said: "Next is the Three-Eyed Toad's territory. Although it can be bypassed, it will waste a lot of time. Moreover, even if you bypass it, you may encounter other dangers, so I suggest Break through!"

    Although Arthur said 'suggestion', Su Mo knew that this must be the best choice. After taking a look at the ghost face, he simply nodded in agreement.

    Seeing this, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief;

    The Three-Eyed Toad is also a relatively dangerous group of poisonous beasts on the outskirts of the savage swamp. If Su Mo and the others insisted on detouring, the hired Fierce Fang would not be able to. Fortunately, Su Mo was very self-aware, and didn't do any idiotic things that the layman would guide the layman.

    "Mr. Su, let Xiaojie tell you about the characteristics of the three-eyed toad later, and I will do some preparations with Jenny and Bian Long."

    "Prepare?"

    As Jenny got up, she curled her lips and said, "Don't think that if the poisonous miasma is solved, everything will be fine. There are many poisonous gases in the wild swamps that are more terrifying than the poisonous miasma!"

    At this time, Xiaojie said, "The Three-Eyed Toad's site is a depression and swamp, and they spend most of their time lurking at the bottom of the depression, relying on the methane to survive. In addition, the Three-Eyed Toad floats out of mud for about ten minutes every day. When they breathe in and out, the gas they exhale contains swamp poison. Ordinary people will feel soft all over and foam at the mouth even if they inhale a little bit. Moreover, the swamp poison has a certain hallucinogenic effect, which can only be solved by the violet grass around the depression.”

    And what the three of Arthur have to do now is to look for the violet grass;

    Without waiting for Su Mo's question, Xiaojie explained, "Purple japonica also has a characteristic, it will wither after four hours off the ground, and it can only be found near depressions with swamp poison."

    This is also the reason why the Fierce Fang Mercenary Group did not prepare in advance.

    Although it is basically impossible to return to this world in the future, Su Mo still wrote down Xiaojie's introduction to the three-eyed toad and the purple yingcao, so as to ensure which script can be used in the future.

    About twenty minutes later, the three of Arthur came back, each with a few violets in their hands.

    "Everyone, don't take chances. After entering the depression later, you must put the leaves of the violet grass in your mouth!" Arthur said, "Although the taste is a bit fishy, ​​it can be tolerated."

    He said 'everyone', mainly to remind Su Mo and the others.

    Three of the four of them are players, and even the desolate prince Nelson is a bard who has traveled the world. Naturally, this stench can be tolerated... Well, Su Mo has a high opinion of Nelson.

    "Ouch...cough cough!!"

    As soon as Nelson put a leaf of Amaranthus in his mouth, he spat it out with a 'poof'!

    "Bah! Bah! Vomit!"

    I saw Nelson's face wrinkled into a bun. He bent down and vomited while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, and kept complaining: "What the hell, it's more disgusting than shit!"

    Su Mo frowned, and took off a leaf and put it in his mouth... It is indeed more disgusting than shit!

    Su Mo's stomach was churning for a while, and Su Mo suppressed the discomfort and barely endured the initial uncomfortable stage.

    Su Mo is like this, and of course the rest of the people are not feeling well, including the four members of the Fierce Tooth Mercenary Group.

    "Be patient, just get used to it for a while."

    The gentle smile that Arthur had always hung on his face finally disappeared when he held the leaves of the violet grass - hehe, whoever can laugh with a mouthful of 'shit' in his mouth is a pervert, right?

    Seeing that except for the ghost face wearing a mask, the faces of the others became more ugly, Shi Xingze rolled his eyes and secretly discarded the leaves he just pulled.

    "Brother, share weal and woe!"

    Bian Long took good care of his 'brother'. Seeing that Shi Xingze was hesitant to hold it in, he took a large leaf from his hand, put it directly into Shi Xingze's mouth, and covered it very 'comprehensively'. his mouth!

    "Uh uh... uh?"

    Seeing that Shi Xingze, who was struggling, was suddenly fine, Bian Long sighed with vomiting, "Brother, it's okay!"

    "That is!"

    Shi Xingze grinned, then opened his mouth and said, "I swallowed it!"

    swallowed shit...

    "vomit!!"

    Bian Long was not the first to vomit, nor was he the last;

    "Ugh...Aren't you disgusting!"

    Jenny, who also vomited, glared at Shi Xingze, then pulled off a leaf again, struggling with a face full of struggle.

    "team leader……"

    Wei Er... No, Arthur, who did not vomit, shook his head calmly.

    After tossing for nearly half an hour, including Nelson, who was the first to vomit, everyone finally got used to the stench in their mouths, and under the leadership of Jenny, they stepped into the Three-Eyed Toad's territory - the low-lying swamp.

    Low-lying swamps are muddy and difficult to navigate and can sink into if you're not careful. At this time, Jenny's advantages were revealed. This powerful huntress was not only good at finding paths and setting traps, but also had the ability to temporarily turn the swamp into walking ground.

    Of course, this skill is also very expensive and has a very short duration. Therefore, a group of eight people must not only be cautious, but also cross the low-lying swamp at the fastest speed.

    Just like Arthur's warning in advance, as soon as Su Mo stepped into the low-lying swamp, he felt his head dizzy!

    Soon, there was a cool feeling in the mouth, and the feeling of dizziness disappeared in an instant - although the violet grass was disgusting, the effect was equally significant.

    Although the low-lying swamp terrain is not complicated, in addition to avoiding the swamp poison, everyone must be careful to avoid the three-eyed toad that occasionally floats on the mud surface. Jenny, who is in charge of exploring the road and paving the way, is not under too much pressure.

    Behind Jenny is Arthur. As a Knight of Light, Arthur is born with restraint against all poisonous beasts and beasts in the savage swamp. Moreover, he and Jenny cooperated tacitly, and in case of danger, Jenny could also be rescued in time.

    Behind Arthur are Su Mo, Nelson, Ghost Face, and Xiaojie, while Shi Xingze and Bian Long are in charge of breaking the queen.

    In this way, everyone moved forward quickly in silence, and soon entered the depths of the low-lying swamp.

    At this moment, Jenny in front suddenly came down and made a gesture to Xiaojie behind him.

    Xiaojie understood what he meant, and immediately released a small 'fireball technique' into the sky.

    The hazy sight of everyone was instantly clear - not far ahead, a huge three-eyed toad was breathing!

    This is the first time Su Mo and the others have watched the three-eyed toad up close.

    This ugly monster is a little different from what they imagined. In addition to being covered with dense 'big bumps' similar to ordinary toads, the three-eyed toad also has an extra 'eye to the sky' on its forehead;

    The reason for the quotation marks is that the third eye is not a real eye, but a 'red tumor' that is very similar to the eye.

    According to Xiaojie's popularity, the 'red tumor' is the secret weapon of the three-eyed toad. When attacked, the 'red tumor' will explode!

    The venom inside not only has a strong corrosive effect, but also contains highly poisonous. Even a great swordsman can only die if he fails to cut off the corroded area in time.

    A three-eyed toad appeared in front of me, and it was moving towards it. There were at least five to ten minutes before the completion of the 'Turning'. Jenny, who was in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then made another gesture - kill, or walk around. open?

    After hesitating for two seconds, Arthur chose to bypass;

    Avoid the three-eyed toad, not only where it breathes, but also within a few meters. Otherwise, the disturbed poison will still attack the crowd.

    Jenny is not only experienced, but also very experienced; after Arthur issued the detour instruction, she did not turn around directly, but formed a broken line on the ground, and her eyes signaled everyone to jump over.

    In the group, except for Nelson, who was slightly weaker, even Xiaojie, a magician, could jump over. However, there were two Berserkers among the crowd, and Xiaojie, the sorcerer, was treated the same as Nelson—the two Berserkers jumped on his back.

    After bypassing this toad, everyone continued on their way, and in less than three minutes they encountered a second toad; obviously, after going deep into the hinterland, there were also more three-eyed toads that came out to breathe...
