741 The temporary campsite (1)

After taking a breath, everyone got some water from the small puddle next to the mud and washed off the mud on their faces.

As for the mud on his body, he could only deal with it simply. He didn't have the conditions to completely wash it off at the moment.

A group of cultivators, wearing clothes and armors that were covered in mud, continued to rush forward with heavy steps.

Due to the attack of the strange fish, their original plan to travel was affected, and the appearance of the injured further slowed down their speed.

Based on their current speed, it would be difficult to reach the safe camp before nightfall.

Fortunately, this kind of unexpected situation often occurred, so the cultivator team was well prepared. In addition to a safe camp, there was also a temporary camp for emergencies.

However, when the temporary camp was mentioned, the foreign cultivators 'faces didn't look good. It was obvious that there was a hidden story.

Tang Zhen sat on the ground by himself. After shaking off the dirty water on the surface of his body, he checked his backpack and pretended to confirm whether the items inside had been soaked in water.

Such behavior was in line with the behavior of a cultivator from Lou Cheng, so the leader glanced at him and no longer paid him any attention.

Tang Zhen secretly laughed. In reality, that two star horde leader had been secretly observing him ever since he had disembarked.

After all, Tang Zhen was the first one to rush out of the quagmire earlier. He was even carrying a "burden" on his back. To be able to escape from the encirclement of the strange fish under such circumstances, it was impossible without a few moves.

Tang Zhen, who didn't look that shocking, had been "stunned" just now, attracting the attention of many cultivators.

However, after Tang Zhen recovered his lazy appearance, the gazes that were originally fixed on him also disappeared one after another.

Of course, this two star horde leader did not have any other thoughts. He was only a little curious. As for what secret Tang Zhen was hiding, he was not interested in knowing.

Almost every stowaway's background could be compiled into a book. After all, who would be willing to risk their lives to cross the mountain range if they were not desperate?

"Yingluo thanks you for just now!"

A soft and coy voice that contained a trace of timidity sounded beside Tang Zhen's ear.

Looking back, it was the "burden" that Tang Zhen had just brought out of the mud. It was the level one stowaway who had joined later.

At this moment, her robe was also covered in mud. Although a lot of it had been wiped off, it still emitted a foul smell.

The hood on her face was still not removed, but Tang Zhen could see a pair of bright eyes under the brim of the hood. They were looking at him with gratitude.

Tang Zhen indifferently shook his head before turning his head to the side.

He had just saved the stowaway out of convenience. Not to mention that he had met her more than once before, so she wasn't a stranger.

To the current Tang Zhen, there was no need for any reason when he did some insignificant things. It was completely done casually when he was in a good mood!

After staying by the swamp for less than 20 minutes, the whole team set off again, and began to pass through the forest made of flowers and plants.

When walking here, everyone had to constantly wave their sabers to cut off the thin vines that were floating towards them, so as to avoid being pierced by the poisonous needles.

After the vines were cut, a sticky liquid would spray out from the broken parts and fall on everyone's body.

Their robes were already covered in mud, and now that their bodies were emitting heat, many places had been steamed dry, but now they were wet again.

The most annoying thing was that the plant's liquid had a strong viscosity, which caused even more trouble for everyone.

Unable to Dodge, everyone could only grit their teeth and endure, allowing the liquid to fall on their bodies.

The flowers and trees that grew at the foot of the mountain seemed to be boundless. The path they took was quite winding, so they were still there when night fell.

If nothing unexpected happened, they would be spending the night here!

"How is it? can we reach the temporary camp before dark?"

The two star horde leader with an ice-cold expression glanced at the sky before turning to look at the person beside him.

The guide, who was being supported by his disciple, replied in a weak voice, " "Based on our current speed, we should be able to arrive in half an hour.

But are we really going to stay there for the night? you know, Yingluo,"

The leader waved his hand and stopped the guide from saying anything else. Then he said in a low voice, " You don't need to say anymore, I know what to do about this!

As long as we pay more attention, there shouldn't be any problems. Besides, looking at the sky now, we can't reach the safe camp at all, and we can't spend the night anywhere else.

Besides, it's not like we've never stopped here before!"

The leader gently nodded his head upon hearing this. However, his eyes would occasionally sweep over Tang Zhen's group with a trace of pity before disappearing without a trace.

They didn't encounter any more monster attacks during their journey. The only annoying thing was the sticky plant fluid.

After a few hours, the sticky liquid had started to solidify, mixing with the mud and forming a sort of rubber-like substance.

This kind of thing was soft and tough, firmly attached to the armor, and could not be cleaned at all.

Everyone tried a few times and found that they really couldn't get rid of it, so they let it attach to the armor.

However, in this way, they had turned from their original black appearance into a group of gray-white " snowmen "!

After passing through a strange plant cluster that looked like bamboo shoots but was countless times larger, they finally saw a broken building complex made of giant stones.

Weeds and moss grew lushly around the ruins, leaving almost no gaps. If the guide had not brought them here, almost no one would have thought that there was such a place in the forest.

Tang Zhen stopped his footsteps. After sweeping his eyes over the ruins, a trace of contemplation appeared on his face.

The area of the ruins was extremely large. Although many places were covered with weeds and vines, one could still vaguely see the glorious scene of the past.

For example, the square in front of them was several hectares in size. After kicking away the mud on the ground, they could see the huge stone brick floor carved with patterns.

The broken walls that could not be covered by the weeds and vines were even taller. From a distance, they looked like small mountains.

For a building of such scale to exist in this world, it must have been a high-level building!

It was just that no one could imagine what kind of race would build a city in such a dangerous place. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

we'll be resting here. Remember, you're not allowed to run around. Otherwise, you can only blame your bad luck if you lose your lives!

After the leader in charge of managing Tang Zhen and the others left these words, he walked to the side and helped his companions set up camp.

Tang Zhen and the others did not stay idle either. They looked for a clean place to take shelter from the wind and cleaned it up simply, making it a place to rest for the night.

Although the ruins in front of them were large, there were also many dangerous areas. Tang Zhen and the other stowaways were strictly prohibited from approaching.

This wasn't because these foreign cultivators were kind. It was because it was fine if you wanted to die, but it was very likely that it would affect the cultivator teams. Therefore, they made such a request to avoid being caught up in the disaster of these "rookies"!
