Split personality

"Dare to walk out of this room, I promise you will not see the sun tomorrow."

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

"Uh, huh, your friend... well, it's very interesting!" After regaining his senses, Arthur racked his brains and couldn't think of a suitable adjective, so he had to use 'interesting' instead.

"Smiled."

Su Mo was rarely embarrassed. He gave Nelson and Shi Xingze a cold look, and after signaling them to stop messing around, he got back to the topic and said, "We don't want to cross the wild swamp...in fact, maybe we don't even have to go deep. But these are not important, we only ask you and your mercenary group to assist us to go deep during the contract period and ensure Nelson's safety."

"Although it is very presumptuous, I still want to ask, 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, "I will choose a suitable opportunity to tell you when I enter the wild swamp."

"Two hundred kilometers!"

Jenny spoke suddenly, her tone was also very serious, "This is the limit we can bear at this time of year, and going deeper will become very dangerous!"

Su Mo's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Okay! I will tell the real purpose when the time comes. No matter whether Fierce Fang chooses to continue or give up, we will never obstruct it."

"Half commission."

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

"no problem."

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

"Four."

Su Mo frowned, and Arthur explained, "It's true that the main force of Evil Fang is eight, but the other four have other tasks to do. If we only go deep into 200 kilometers, the four of us are enough."

Su Mo nodded and didn't think too much about it.After all, compared to the number of people, Fierce Fang's experience in the wild swamp is more valued by him.

"How long does it take to prepare?"

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

"The sooner the better."

Arthur thought for a moment, and said, "In that case, let's do it tomorrow morning!"

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

"Captain, are we really going to take on this mission? I always feel that their purpose is not simple!" After the four left, Jenny hurriedly asked.

Arthur nodded in agreement at first, and then laughed, "No matter what purpose they have, we just need to keep the bottom line. If it's really that kind of greedy employer, we can give up the other half of the commission when necessary."

Of course, this is only a last resort. After all, abandoning their employer will do great damage to the reputation of their mercenary group.Although the four of Su Mo didn't seem simple, Arthur had the same confidence in his own strength and that of his companions, and he wasn't afraid of their tricks.

"Okay then, I'll notify Bian Long and Xiaojie..."

In the early morning of the second day, Su Mo and others came to the agreed place, and the four members of the Vicious 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 even more coincidental is that both of them are Berserkers with similar temperaments, and they both have a carefree personality.

Compared with the passionate 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.

Of the four, Arthur is naturally the strongest. This knight of light is not only powerful, but also very understanding of the world. He can always take care of everyone's emotions, even the ghost face with the weakest sense of existence.

After the meeting, the two sides quickly became acquainted with each other under the mediation of Arthur.Especially Shi Xingze and Bian Long, the two hit it off right away, chatting like old friends, and they seemed to hate seeing each other later.

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

Jenny's hearty laughter could be heard beside her, and Nelson, who was following her, had a flushed face with obvious excitement and joy.Look at that posture, has been completely tamed by the 'Queen'.

Even the shyest Xiaojie has been following the ghost face, and can catch up with a sentence or two from time to time...

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

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

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

"Hehe, I'm being rude, Mr. Su, don't be offended."

There was a gentle aura about Arthur, which made it easy for people to let their guard down unconsciously.Even when certain sensitive issues come out of his mouth, people will not feel 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 very smart, and every inquiry is to the point, and it will never reach the point of being offensive.

"Compared to Mr. Ghostface, Mr. Su is more special, for example..." Arthur suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking.

Su Mo glanced at him in surprise, and saw Arthur frowning and staring at the side, then shouted at Jenny who was 'flirting' with Nelson, "Jenny, over there!"

Jenny was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, and dexterously jumped onto a big tree.

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

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

Arthur was startled by the flash of killing intent in Su Mo's eyes, and quickly said, "It's just a few fleas without eyesight, let us deal with it."

After finishing speaking, he gestured towards Bian Long who was chatting happily with Shi Xingze, and 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, and brother How about a walk?"

"Tail?"

Shi Xingze hurriedly looked behind him, "Where is the tail?"

"Hahaha, brother is so humorous!"

"Brother, you too!"

"go!"

"go!"

Bian Long led Shi Xingze to walk behind them, but Su Mo frowned.Seeing this, Arthur hurriedly said, "Bian Long has always been like this. He will always be overly enthusiastic when he meets someone who is compatible with him. Don't worry, he will abide by the bottom line that he should have, and he will definitely not let Mr. Shi take risks."

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

Seeing this, Arthur also frowned;

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

"That guy in the mask is not simple."

Jenny came to Arthur's side at some point, and said in a low voice, "Little Jie also thinks he's weird...Captain, do you think he's an advanced stalker from the Night Guild?"

Arthur shook his head silently, without expressing his opinion.

After a while, Ghost Mian was the first to come back. He just nodded at Su Mo and returned to his seat.After a while, Bian Long and Shi Xingze came back, seeing how they were talking and laughing, it seemed that they hadn't noticed the ghost face following them from the beginning to the end.

"It's the 'Rattlesnake' people, this group of cancers treat you like meat buns!"

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

It's a pity that they encountered fierce teeth;

Instead of using pity, it is better to use luck to describe it.The fierce-toothed Bian Long only taught the 'Rattlesnakes' a lesson and let them go.If it was Su Mo or Ghost Face who took the shot... Hehe, I'm afraid no one can survive.

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

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

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

Everyone hastily used and eaten, Arthur motioned Jenny to take out the 'Miasma Pill' that their pharmacist had recently suppressed, handed it to Su Mo and others, and said, "Each Pill can last for eight to ten hours, There are ten pieces in each porcelain vase, if it is not enough, ask me for it.”

Su Mo took the porcelain bottle and poured out a Miasma Repelling Pill.Pizaidan is about the size of a sugar ball and is purple in color.Seeing that the four fierce fangs swallowed it without hesitation, Su Mo hesitated for a moment and ate one too.

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

"It's true that Miasma Pill can get rid of 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 are taking a powerful Miasma Pill, we still can't be careless. Leave the Wild Swamp within 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 wild swamp. In the depths of the swamp and even on the periphery of the swamp, there are many more terrifying existences than the poisonous miasma.Even if these words are not mentioned by the fierce teeth, Su Mo and the others know.

Fierce Fang is still a relatively competent mercenary group. After stepping into the outskirts of the wild swamp, Arthur has been following Su Mo, explaining to him where the outskirts are more dangerous and which places must not be visited.

Because the purpose of the four of Su Mo is to go deep, not to explore and hunt for treasure, so they avoid those places that are extremely dangerous and full of unknowns if they can.

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

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

"Fire Venom Bee?"

Arthur said in surprise, "You are very lucky to have survived the siege of the fire poisonous bees without being injured."

After listening to Arthur's explanation of the power of the Fire Venom Bee, Su Mo and Ghost looked at each other face to face, and saw the happiness in each other's eyes.

The fire poisonous bee is considered a relatively dangerous poisonous insect in the outskirts of the wild swamp.Each fire poisonous bee is the size of a fist, and the individual strength is average, and there is no threat at all.Fire venomous bees, however, are social poisons and have a strange way of relating to each other.As long as one is provoked, it will inevitably attract a large crowd!

When the number of fire poisonous bees exceeds a hundred, not to mention ordinary people, even great sword masters dare not provoke them rashly, and if they are not careful, they will be enraged on the spot.

Although the fire poisonous bee has the character 'fire', it is also the fire that is most afraid of.However, the moisture in the wild swamp is extremely heavy, and it is impossible to cause a fire.At this time, the importance of the fire magician came to the fore.

In fact, it's not just the fire venomous bee, most poisonous things or magical beasts have an instinctive fear of fire, thunder and so on.Therefore, any team that goes deep into the wild swamp must be a magician, especially a fire magician.

"Although there are many dangerous places around 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 knew very well that the premise of all this is to hire a reliable mercenary group.

Although the outer area of ​​the wild swamp has been basically discovered by the major mercenary groups and adventure groups, the specific dangers, how to avoid them, and the detailed map are the biggest secrets and trump cards of each mercenary group, and it is absolutely impossible to spread them out.

Just like at this moment, the reason why the group of eight people are so relaxed, and they can even talk and laugh happily from time to time, is not due to luck, but the years of experience of the Vicious Tooth Mercenary Group in the outskirts of the wilderness swamp.

Of course, the price is not cheap;

If you want to hire a mercenary group like Fierce Fang, who are both famous and well-known, you need not only luck but also enough financial support.

If it weren't for the fact that the three of Su Mo were all players, and the fantasy coins were relatively abundant, plus a little bit of luck, they wouldn't be able to hire Fierce Fang.Without fierce teeth, this trip to the wilderness and swamp would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble...

The wilderness swamp is very large, and Fierce Fang once said that at this time of year they are at most 200 kilometers deep.But 200 kilometers has just passed the outer area, and it is still a straight-line distance.The swampy hinterland is only bigger and more dangerous.

Under the leadership of the four Fierce Fangs, in just four hours, everyone went deep into dozens of kilometers without any danger, and the speed was not uncomfortably fast.

After a short pause, Arthur suddenly said, "Next is the territory of the three-eyed toad. 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 breaking through past!"

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

Seeing this, Arthur was slightly relieved;

The three-eyed toad is also a dangerous group of poisonous beasts on the outskirts of the wild swamp. If Su Mo and the others insist on going around, the hired fierce fangs can't do it either.Fortunately, Su Mo is very self-aware, and he didn't do any idiotic things like layman guiding experts.

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

"Prepare?"

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

At this time, Xiaojie said, "The territory of the three-eyed toad is a depression swamp. They spend most of their time lurking in the bottom of the depression, relying on the methane inside to survive. In addition, the three-eyed toad emerges from the mud for about 10 minutes a day. Breathing, the gas they exhale contains marsh poison, and even if ordinary people inhale even a little bit, they will feel weak all over and foam at the mouth. Moreover, marsh poison has a certain hallucinogenic effect, which can only be detoxified by the purple flower around the depression."

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

Without waiting for Su Mo to ask questions, Xiaojie explained, "Ziyingcao also has a characteristic. It will wither after four hours off the ground, and it can only be found near swamp poisonous depressions."

This is also the reason why the Fierce Tooth 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 about the three-eyed toad and Ziyingcao, not sure which script can be used in the future.

About 10 minutes later, the three of Arthur came back, each holding a few Ziying grass in their hands.

"Everyone, don't take chances. When you enter the depression later, you must put the leaves of Ziyingcao in your mouth!" Arthur said, "Although the smell is a bit fishy, ​​you can still get used to it if you bear it."

He said 'everyone', mainly to remind the four of Su Mo.

Three of the four of them are players, and even the down-and-out prince Nelson is also a bard who has traveled all over the world, so the stench is naturally bearable... Well, Su Mo thinks highly of Nelson.

"Ugh...cough cough!!"

As soon as Nelson put a lilac leaf into his mouth, he spat it out with a 'poof'!

"Bah! Bah! Ugh!"

I saw Nelson's face wrinkled into a bun shape. He bent over to vomit, wiped 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 was indeed more disgusting than shit!

There was a churning in his stomach, and Su Mo suppressed the discomfort, barely enduring 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 been hanging on his face finally disappeared when he took the Ziying grass leaf in his mouth-hehe, anyone who can still laugh with a mouthful of 'shit' in his mouth is a pervert, right?

Seeing that except for the masked ghost face, the faces of the rest of them became uglier than the last one, Shi Xingze rolled his eyes and wanted to secretly throw away the leaves he just picked.

"Brother, share weal and woe!"

Bian Long took good care of his 'brother'. Seeing that Shi Xingze was hesitant to swallow, he directly took a large leaf from his own hand, stuffed it into Shi Xingze's mouth without any explanation, and covered it up very 'understanding' his mouth!

"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?"

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

"That is!"

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

swallowed a mouthful of shit...

"vomit!!"

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

"Ouch... are you disgusting?"

Jenny, who also vomited, gave Shi Xingze a hard look, then pulled off a leaf again, struggling all over her face.

"team leader……"

The only... no, the only third Arthur who didn't vomit calmly shook his head.

After struggling 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 walk in, and you will sink into them if you don't pay attention.At this time, Jenny's advantages were revealed. This powerful huntress was not only good at finding paths and laying traps, but also had the ability to turn the swamp into a walkable ground for a short time.

Of course, this skill consumes a lot, and the maintenance time is very short.Therefore, a group of eight people must not only be cautious, but also rush through the low-lying swamp at the fastest speed.

Just as Arthur had warned in advance, Su Mo felt his head go numb as soon as he stepped into the low-lying swamp!

Soon, there was a cool feeling in the mouth, and the dizzy feeling disappeared in an instant——Although Ziyingcao is disgusting, the effect is also significant.

Although the terrain of the low-lying swamp is not complicated, in addition to avoiding the poison of the swamp, everyone must also carefully avoid the three-eyed toad that floats up to the mud from time to time.Jenny, who is in charge of scouting and paving the way, is under a lot of pressure.

Following behind Jenny was Arthur. As a knight of light, Arthur was born to restrain all the poisonous and magical beasts in the wild swamp.And he cooperates with Jenny tacitly, and can rescue Jenny in time if she is in danger.

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

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

At this time, Jenny in front suddenly came down and gestured to Xiaojie behind her.

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

Everyone's hazy vision became clear instantly—not far ahead, a huge three-eyed toad was spitting!

This was the first time for Su Mo and the others to watch the three-eyed toad up close.

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

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

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

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

A three-eyed toad appeared in front of him, and he was stance towards it. There were at least five to 10 minutes before the completion of the 'breathing'. Jenny, who was directly in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and gestured again—to kill, or to go around open?

After hesitating for two seconds, Arthur chose to bypass;

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

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

In the group, except for Nelson who is weaker, even the magician Xiaojie can jump over.However, there were two mad swordsmen among the crowd, and Xiaojie, a magician, still received the same treatment as Nelson - he was jumped over by the two mad swordsmen on his back.

After bypassing this toad, everyone continued to move forward, and encountered a second toad in less than 3 minutes; obviously, after going deep into the hinterland, more three-eyed toads came out to breathe...
