In a mist-shrouded swamp.
Three bedraggled figures fled out of it.
Huff!
Chen Chen panted heavily and looked back at the swamp behind him. Hordes of Rotting Corpses wandered there, but none showed any sign of leaving.
It was as though...
Some restriction within the swamp prevented these Rotting Corpses from venturing beyond its boundaries.
"We finally made it out!"
Wu Quan looked relieved, as though he had narrowly escaped death.
Five of them had entered the swamp, but only the three of them had made it out.
There was no denying it.
They were lucky.
With so many Rotting Corpses, if they had been surrounded, even two or three times their numbers would have been wiped out.
Making it out of the swamp had been no easy feat.
Xu Ziqing felt much the same.
Traces of fear still lingered on her delicate face.
Those Rotting Corpses were truly disgusting and unnerving. As a girl, she could hardly help feeling unsettled after seeing so many of them.
Now.
They stood within a valley.
Chen Chen took out the map he had obtained from the quest NPC and unfolded it for a careful look. Comparing it with the scenery before him, he finally smiled.
"According to the map, this should be where our quest objective is."
Then.
He checked the map a few more times before pointing in one direction. "The map says we should head this way. We should be almost there."
"Then let's hurry over. The sooner we finish the quest, the less chance there is of anything else going wrong." Wu Quan did not want to linger another moment.
"Follow me."
They walked through the valley.
After their experience with the Rotting Corpses, they were much more cautious this time.
They kept a constant watch for any movement
