"At present, we're probably in the middle section of Blackwater Marsh..."
As they traveled, Deke kept watch on the surroundings while explaining, "The monsters active in this area are roughly Level 2 to Level 5. Occasionally, low-level Lord-class Monsters like that Swamp Slime from before may also appear."
The adventurers in the party had all become alert. This was no longer the beginning of the mission; they could encounter powerful monster attacks at any moment. They had to remain fully focused and vigilant against any danger that might arise.
The convoy continued moving at a fairly fast pace, but compared to the morning, it had slowed considerably.
It was not because they were intentionally slowing down. The ground beneath them had become increasingly muddy, and the wheels sank several centimeters into the soft earth as they rolled through it. The horses pulling the carts consequently faced much greater resistance.
However, this was not a problem for Lin Mo's group for the time being. After all, their carriage was pulled by Gale Steeds. In fact, ever since the mission began, the two Gale Steeds had been practically loafing about and had not even come close to displaying their full speed.
The vegetation in the swamp was not as lush as it was in the forest. There were relatively few trees, but there were still patches of tall grass.
Those patches of grass were the adventurers' main focus.
Many monsters could be hiding within them, waiting for prey to pass by before launching a sudden attack.
As they passed through another patch of yellowing grass, countless eyes remained fixed on it, unwilling to miss the slightest movement.
Only after the convoy passed safely through the grass without incident did everyone unconsciously let out a breath of relief.
They would not be unlucky
