We had to speed up our journey during the day.
Ye Tuzi told us that there was no poisonous miasma in Skull Mountain Ridge.
We only needed to walk the last 15 kilometers as quickly as possible to stay away from the poisonous miasma area.
But the closer we get to Skull Mountain, the more swamps there are.
At my suggestion, we plan to peel off the dead tree bark and tie it to our limbs as we walk.
If we accidentally fall into a swamp, we can untie the dead bark in time.
It can also play a certain role in floating in swamp mud pits.
Datou and I walked for a while and found that the surrounding trees gradually became sparse, replaced by endless plains.
The plains were hazy with fog, and nothing could be seen beyond a hundred meters.
There are many vines and overgrown trees on the plain, there are many shallow grasses densely covered on the plain, and there are even more tall reeds in the white mist.
"There should be a large swamp ahead of us."
I said.
The vines, morning grass, shallow grass, and reeds on the plain in front of you are good proof of the swamp.
Many people think that swamps are all bottomless silt, like quagmires.
In fact, swamps also have hard mud, but they are just covered with shallow grass and water.
Therefore, you generally need a guide when crossing a swamp.
Lead the way.
Da Tou tied a dozen pieces of dead tree shells to his body, then pulled out his iron staff and led the way ahead.
When I first stepped into the Asakusa area, my feet suddenly sank, and the mud and water reached my ankles.
"Be careful, big head, and be careful of poisonous snakes and leeches in the swamp when you go," I reminded.
Ye Tuzi told us that there is an endless water grassland in front of Skull Mountain, which is the swamp.
There are many poisonous insects and beasts in this swamp, which requires a lot of concentration.
Da Tou nodded, took a deep breath, and continued walking in front with the iron staff.
I followed closely behind Da Tou's footsteps, while constantly looking at the surroundings, and the dagger in my hand never let go of my palm.
The swamp can be said to be a man-devouring devil.
We don’t know when he will open his devil’s mouth and swallow us up.
Another thing I'm worried about is that if we don't arrive at Skull Mountain as scheduled during the day, we will spend the night in the swamp.
When the poisonous miasma comes back, we will have no way to avoid it.
Swamps are not like the forest floor and soil where you can dig shallow holes and bury them.
As he was thinking about it, suddenly the big head in front of him staggered, and the iron rod in his hand seemed to be violently pulled by something, and the whole person fell into the water plants together with it.
I hurried forward anxiously, quickly untied the rope around my waist and threw it towards Big Tou.
Big Tou's body quickly sank into the water plants, and even after I got the rope, I pulled him up.
Datou looked at the water grass in front of him with palpitations and said, "It seems like something is pulling me in the mud.
I don't dare to throw away the iron staff."
I looked at the dirty water stains on the water plants, and I couldn't see anything underneath.
It was impossible for the big head's arm strength to be unable to react.
The thing under the water must be very strong, and the iron rod and the big head were pulled together.
Go down.
There is only one iron rod.
If it is lost, it will be impossible for us to cross the swamp.
"What do you think it could be?"
I asked.
Datou shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is, but it's very dangerous.
Don't leave this place yet.
Find another way."

I nodded, then walked around the water grassland with the iron staff in my hand and continued walking forward.
In order to prevent accidents, Datou and I were connected with a rope.
Once he had an accident, I could stop him immediately from behind.
The white mist was so thick that it was impossible to see anything in the distance, and the sky was so gray that no light could shine through.
In some water plants, I stepped on something hard and skeletal.
When I took out the water plants, I saw a human skeleton appeared under my feet.
There were even some bird corpses floating on the water plants and reeds, giving off an unpleasant smell.
The stench.
As we move toward Skull Mountain, there are more and more skeletons in the swamp.
You can almost step on skeletons every few steps you take.
It’s unknown how many people have died in this swamp.
Looking at the bones underfoot, it feels like an army was once buried here.
If all the bones buried in the mud were taken out, it would probably be a mountain of skulls.
The poisonous miasma that can cause such a large number of deaths must be poisonous miasma.
Perhaps an army once walked through here, but at night, the poisonous miasma suddenly emerged and wiped out the entire army.
Datou's pace sped up a lot.
In order to hurry, he even tied two skulls on his ankles to increase the buoyancy of his feet in the mud, so that he could walk a little faster.
At this moment, Big Head's iron staff explored a bottomless swamp.
Just as he was about to take out the iron staff, the iron staff suddenly sank, and a strong force pulled the iron staff away from Big Head.
Pull down.
"Fuck, it's here again," Big Head shouted.
This time he was prepared.
His body was not pulled into the swamp, but he used all his strength to fight against the unknown things in the swamp.
I hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Datou's waist, using all my strength to hug Datou together.
Only then did I realize that there seemed to be a force as big as a truck coming from the other end of the iron rod.
I bit the iron rod tightly, thinking Drag the big head into the water, grass and mud.
The strength of the two of us was suddenly unable to resist the power of the unknown creature under the mud.
We saw a deep mud ditch being dragged under our feet.
The iron rod is our only way to cross the swamp and must not be thrown away.
We all know this.
I looked at the surrounding water grass and found a short tree growing among the water grass not far away.
I hurriedly ran to the short tree. , quickly tied the rope to the tree.
I saw that the short tree seemed to be pulled by a huge force, and the whole tree bent down.
"Su Ye, shoot into the water plants," Datou shouted anxiously, feeling like he could no longer hold back.
I hurriedly took out the pistol from my waist, which Ye Tuzi had prepared for us.
For safety reasons, Datou and I both had a pistol with us.
I walked to the muddy ground with water plants in two steps, and launched two shuttles directly towards the muddy ground.
With two sudden sounds, clusters of bright red blood splashed into the muddy ground, mixing with the muddy water.
Just when I thought I had killed the thing on the muddy ground, the iron rod in Big Tou's hand suddenly came loose, and he fell backwards and fell into the muddy ground.
But just three meters in front of him, the water plant suddenly A huge figure jumped out.
This creature was more than 4 meters long, with powerful limbs.
Its whole body was covered with black flesh bumps.
A thick and powerful tail swept across, and a large piece of reed was swept down in an instant
