…
Just as Wu Hui and his men were celebrating their great victory, they were in a place very far away from the Patrick Islands.
late at night!
A lonely moon was slowly covered by floating clouds.
The dim reddish hazy moonlight filtered through the gaps in the thick clouds, making the primitive and desolate corpse silkworm swamp below seem even more eerie and spooky.
The Corpse Silkworm Swamp is very different from the wetland swamps you usually see.
The place is filled with ugly and strange old dead trees covered with vines. It is dark and desolate everywhere, and the air is always filled with the lingering smell of decay.
Of course, the most deadly thing is that under the dense and criss-crossing dead ancient trees, there are piles of dead branches and rotten leaves, and on the layers of dead branches and rotten leaves, there are uneven aquatic weeds growing, making it impossible to distinguish where is the solid land and where is the swamp with floating dead branches and rotten leaves.
If humans or beasts passing by this place accidentally step on empty water, they will often be trapped in it forever and unable to get out.
Because of this, this swamp deep in the primeval forest is filled with despair and death, and under almost every pothole in the swamp mud are buried the corpses of wild animals or humans.
When there are too many corpses, the poisonous silkworms that feed on flesh and blood will multiply in large numbers, making this dark and gloomy swamp even more terrifying and dangerous.
But tonight, two frail women were walking one after the other in this dark and desolate swamp.
The ground was extremely muddy, and the poisonous miasma rising from the ground spread like white mist among the intertwined dead branches and driftwood.
There was silence all around, and the entire swamp and forest were shrouded in a thick aura of death. Only the pale and fat corpse silkworms kept shuttling back and forth among the reeds and sedges, making a piercing and disturbing rustling sound.
However, the two women walking in it seemed to be unaware of everything around them.
Not only did the complex environment and dim light have no effect on them, even the poisonous miasma that permeated the surroundings separated on its own when they approached. Even the bloodthirsty corpse silkworms fled in all directions the moment they approached, as if the two of them were the most deadly and terrifying creatures.
"Miss Judy, how long are we to our destination?"
At this time, the woman walking behind spoke softly.
She is petite, with her face half covered, and she wears a tight grey and white outfit with a hood, tight sleeves, leggings, and a robe over the top. Under the robe, her waist is full of daggers. If you look closely, you can see a hidden crossbow under her left wrist and a hidden sword under her right wrist. She looks like a strong person who is well versed in the art of lurking and assassination.
The woman walking in front of her was particularly eye-catching.
She was wearing a dark purple robe with a hood. She was tall and slender, and even through the robe, her curvy and graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
Under the hood, her skin was as white as snow, her lips were bright red, and her beautiful face would make her a stunning beauty sought after by thousands of people in any big city. However, underneath this beautiful appearance, she exuded a chilling and strange aura. Even the large groups of bloodthirsty and ferocious corpse silkworms around her, because of the fear from the bottom of their hearts, hurriedly retreated wherever she passed.
