Hehehe...

Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's appearance, Todd would only smirk to express his gratitude. He went through the body of the goblin warlock and took off a small ring and a cloth bag.

"This is a mist ring, which can be used to block the line of sight. Although it is not a particularly powerful magic item, it should be very practical for you as a rookie.

The contents of this bag also belong to you. I guess there are some scrolls and gold coins, so I don’t want them. "Todd is very bold and doesn't mean to divide the spoils equally.

In fact, this battle was completed by the two together. If it weren't for Todd to die to the end, Zhou Qingfeng would never have a chance to shoot. Uncle Zhou was not hypocritical, took the ring and the cloth bag and weighed it, and said with a smile: "I have a chance to invite you to drink and drink enough."

The orc took Zhou Qingfeng away from the battlefield, took out the wound medicine he carried with him, and bandaged the wound on his lower back. He also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We are really in trouble this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy to drink.

The thief was nicknamed "Thorns" just now, and he was a well-known guy in the Black Forest, who was very good at sneak assassination. But he actually took refuge in the goblin. "

"It's just that humans take refuge in goblins, why do you find it strange?" Zhou Qingfeng asked rhetorically.

"Because the goblins of the Magru tribe are terrible." Todd said frustrated but true, "According to the description of'thorns', those goblins are expanding. All settlements in the entire Black Forest are in trouble."

The ice mountains are vast, the Black Forest is vast, and less than one-tenth of the places humans have explored. There are a large number of powerful monsters in the unknown area, and there are even legendary entrances to the abyss and purgatory.

For the unknown, rushing into the unknown is no different from looking for death. It's not surprising that a few evil eyes and spirit suckers popped out casually. The only way for the Black Forest to connect with the outside world is the Goblin Plank Road.

"The Black Forest is not the territory of humans, but the most goblins. But as long as the tolls are paid, the goblins of the Magru tribe do not prevent humans from moving in the Black Forest. But now I don't know what happened, the goblins changed their minds not long ago." Todd said.

The "Shadow", known as "omnipotent and omnipotent," also inserted a sentence, "The Magru tribe not only wants to rule humanity, they are afraid that they also value the output of the Black Forest.

There are already more than 100,000 goblins in the forest. If they want to feed themselves, they must expand, otherwise they will starve to death. But the goblin's ability is too poor, and must rely on enslaving humans to obtain more resources. "

After all, what I said was fighting for the tribe, but it was actually a matter of survival. Zhou Qingfeng asked, "Shadow, do you have any ideas?"

"No"'Shadow' replied, "You can choose to escape from the Black Forest, or you can choose to challenge the Magru tribe, or even seek refuge with goblins. In my opinion, this is the way to survive. With my help, you You can get ahead wherever you go."

Zhou Qingfeng should not take refuge in the ugly and smelly goblin. He asked Todd, "Where should we go now? We have to find a place to stay? Otherwise, when the goblins run out all over the mountains, we really won't have to run."

Todd scratched his head. He was most afraid of being hungry, and secondly hated goblins. Now that the White Crow Camp can't go to, it can only find another human settlement. "Um..., didn't Her Royal Highness let us go to the Voodoo Marsh? But there..."

"What's going on there?"

"It's messy there."

The place name of'Voodoo Swamp' does not give a good impression. But the two are about to become mourners, so what are they going to care about? Zhou Qingfeng asked Todd to lead the way, and the two went back to find the horses, and turned to the famous horror zone in the Black Forest overnight.

The environment in the forest is strange. Most of it is woodland, with river valleys and mountains interspersed with it, in addition to rotting and smelly swamps.

There is always a layer of white mist in the calm swamp, and the rotten wood is looming in the mist. If someone accidentally stepped into it, the mud of the swamp would swallow it slowly and irreversibly.

This swallowing is a great psychological torture, and the process often lasts for several hours or even days. From the victim's ankles to the waist, to the neck, any struggle and call for help will not change the fate of death.

Even an adventurer with good strength is extremely scared when facing the swamps of the Black Forest. Because there is not only sticky mud in the swamp, but also terrible monsters.

For example, some finger-sized carrion larvae. They usually hide in the mud and do not move. But if they detect movement, they will come in groups, bite through the victim's skin, and get into their body.

This kind of bug does not like fresh flesh and blood, but will release venom and accelerate the decay of the limbs.

However, the scavengers in the swamp are very popular with necromancers, and insect powder is an important material for casting spells. In order to catch such valuable insects, many people venture to make their homes by the dangerous swamp.

"The scavengers are just a product of the voodoo swamp. There are many good things here. A large number of people will form a settlement." Todd led Zhou Qingfeng through the mountains and woods, and finally arrived at the edge of a vast swamp. Life is too bitter and too dangerous."

Todd repeatedly talked about the poverty and dangers of Voodoo Swamp, and the terrible environment here, "This is a hopeless place, and the people who live here are just waiting to die. But we don't have a better place to stay. "

Zhou Qingfeng was riding on horseback, and the dilapidated settlements shrouded in mist appeared in front of him, "We are just struggling to survive.

Compared with the high walls, trenches, ballistas, extremely heavily guarded mortar pits and white crow camps, this settlement is unprotected. It has only low wooden fences, messy shacks, messy and disgusting camps, and numb residents like the living dead.

The settlements have no defenses and no core leaders. Very few adventurers come here, only more than three hundred unkempt ordinary people are surviving among them. I don't know why Enisa chose to stay here

"There is poisonous gas coming out of the swamp from time to time, and some terrible monsters will rush out at any time. People like Lucans don't like this place, and they don't want to take risks. Even goblins don't want to come here. restricted area.

But many poor people have no choice. They can only come here if they can't enter the formal settlements, betting their lives in exchange for a small amount of produce from the dangerous swamp. "Todd explained.

A big change is taking place in the Black Forest, and the Magru tribe of goblins wants to seize more living space. If they don't resist, the humans in the Black Forest will either be sent for blood sacrifices or captured and used as slavery.

Zhou Qingfeng came to the Voodoo Swamp to have a temporary foothold, and also to expand his horizons, to learn more about the Black Forest and the other world. But when he came here, he was deeply shocked.

Voodoo Marsh gave Zhou Qingfeng the impression of extreme poverty. But if you think that the poor here are so foolish, then you are very wrong—because of poverty, so ignorance, so timid, so stupid.

This is indeed a hopeless settlement, and it is a challenge to live here.
