Leaning under an old tree, I raised my hand and the stones in my hand drew an arc and fell into the lake, creating a rippling wave. I looked around blankly, and my head was almost two big.

Tutor Dicardo only told me that the ruins were in the swamp, but he didn't tell me where the specific location was. I've been searching for almost three days and three nights, without any clues. It's so bad that I lamented the ruins... where is it? Ask everyone, I don't know, ask if you know (dam, when did you understand the beastly language), when will I find it in this boundless swamp?

By the way, why don’t we go to the official forum to check it out? Maybe we can get some clues from it.

Thinking of us, we did it. A kid sat up, and I hurriedly opened the forum and searched carefully for news about lamenting the ruins.

I was so disappointed that I searched all over the hot forum, but there was no article that said lamented the ruins. No one had ever found this place. In a disappointment, I was about to close the forum when a line of titles suddenly jumped into my eyes: "Mysterious footprints - the ghost of the swamp."

A sudden change in my heart, I quickly clicked on the article and started reading it.

"That morning, when I was leveling in Angel Swamp, I suddenly saw a translucent figure passing by me. I don't know if it was a monster or a player. When I walked over, I saw a string of footprints left on the ground, but the person disappeared. I turned around, but unfortunately the footprints disappeared when I came back. I tried it over and tried it. No matter how I stepped on it, there would be no footprints on the ground there. Who can reveal this secret?" There were dozens of replies below, some said that I had never seen that ghost, and some said that I had also seen footprints in Angel Swamp, but there were no ghosts...

Although these news has nothing to do with lamenting the ruins, in order to provide a clue, I think we should go to the Angel Swamp to see it. At least there can be an abnormal place.

Angel Swamp is located in the northwest of the Swamp Swamp. At first I heard this name and thought it would be a beautiful and picturesque place, but after visiting me, I realized that meeting is not as good as being famous.

There are dark and green poisonous ponds everywhere. The aquatic plants taller than people deeply hide the swamps covered with brown and black mud. If you are not careful, you will be in danger of falling in. Pulling off the aquatic plants, you can occasionally see the bones of birds and beasts floating on the water surface, and waves of stench emanate from the corpses that have not yet been completely decayed.

A breeze blew, and a layer of white water mist floated in the air, and a sweet fragrance surged into my nose, as if it was like the smell of milk. When I thought of milk, I suddenly felt a little thirsty. I took out a bottle of wine from my backpack and took a sip. It felt a little better, but soon I became thirsty again, which was a little wrong. Look at my condition - poisoning!

Damn. No wonder this lifeless swamp smells milk. The feelings are poisonous fog, and an antidote is stuffed into the water and grass to search for the culprit.

A few pure white mushrooms grew tall and gracefully on the edge of the pond, and the color was flawless and even a little translucent. The smooth umbrella spread outward, as delicate as a boiled egg just peeled off; the small mushroom holder was almost invisible, like a white sock on the little feet; there were some slight scales on the stems, reflecting the reflection in the water, flashing, emitting pearl-like bright colors. The whole mushroom body grew harmoniously, and its beautiful and pure appearance made it impossible to associate it with the words of death and rot. It is the origin of the name of this swamp - "Ange of Destruction".

This is a good thing. I carefully dug it up with a medicine hoe and pay attention to my condition from time to time, because there are many "Destruction Angels" growing nearby. Although they do not attack people like human-eating flowers, they will emit poisonous powder at any time, causing people or animals passing here to get into its moves without realizing it. Moreover, the toxicity of Destruction Angels is very strange. It does not directly reduce blood volume, but quickly reduces hunger and thirst. If players who do not have an antidote and do not bring enough food to get infected with this poison, they will only starve or die of thirst in this swamp.

In this swamp, there is a monster that specializes in eating angels of destruction: angel smearing fish. The 45-level little guy looks like a white tadpole, about two feet long. He usually likes to live in a mud pond. He only uses his little hind legs to jump out of the water when he is foraging, with his translucent cheeks, open his small mouth covered with sharp fangs, and bit off the umbrella of the destruction angel in one bite.

Angel Bullet Fish itself is not very aggressive, but it has a strong ability to bounce. If it is stuck to the body, it will be poisoned immediately when it is touched by the mucus secreted from its body's epidermis. Moreover, they are all motivated in groups, so it will be more troublesome once it encounters it. Of course, I can hide if I really do it. However, with my family's cow pets, I am afraid that they will be furious, and it will be like getting involved in the god of death.

Oh, it's logical that I've been wandering around the Angel Swamp for most of the day. While looking for the Angel of Destruction, I almost dug the swamp all over and focused all my attention on the ground. Why haven't I seen any footprints? Couldn't that guy on the forum make a big fuss?

Looking up at the sky, a red sun had begun to gradually sink. The evening breeze was slight, and the Angel of Destruction blew up another white sweet mist with a poison. Faced with the extremely gorgeous sunset, the Angel Swamp was like a hell ghost wearing a thin veil, covering her terrifying face with endless twilight.

"Tap...Tap...Tap..." A slight, slow and slow footsteps sounded from behind me, as if someone or monsters were rushing towards me from behind.

The real eye in my arms had no movement at all, which meant that this was not a hidden object at all, but I could only hear the sound, but saw nothing. No matter which direction I turned, the sound was always behind me, as if it was far and near, and accompanied by a few leisurely sighs, which made me feel a chill from behind my neck. Even when I was in the eighteenth level of hell, I had never felt this way.

I stopped and looked at the air around me. Xiao Hei, who was guarding me, suddenly let out a low roar. I turned around suddenly, and a translucent shadow flashed through the front, and all the footsteps and sighs disappeared, and the surroundings returned to death.

I hurried to the place where the shadow appeared just now. There were indeed two clear footprints on the ground. But there was nothing else. The ground here was harder than other places. I stomped my feet hard, and the soles of my feet were sore. I couldn't leave half of the footprints.

"All problems will be solved. As long as you pursue them seriously, and follow the footprints of the killer..." The words of mentor Dicardo suddenly appeared in my mind. I looked at the footprints on the ground and stepped on them... At this moment, a miracle happened - when I put both feet on the two footprints, another pair of footprints appeared on the ground in front of me.

This is really weird. Could this be the real meaning of the tips from the Decardo Master? At this time, I did not hesitate anymore and continued to step towards the two new footprints. As expected, when I stepped on the new footprints, the pair of footprints behind me immediately disappeared, and new footprints appeared in front of me. It seems that as long as I walked step by step, I would definitely find the place I was looking for.

In this way, whenever I take a step forward, the footprints behind me will disappear, and new footprints will appear in front of me, step by step, leading me to unknown places...

Under the guardians of a group of young people, I moved forward all the way. The unknown I was looking for was unknown. The pair of footprints alternately emerged and led me to the edge of the Angel Swamp. Going forward, there was a huge mountain range. Is it going to lead me up the mountain? Just as I was about to complain, the footprints in front suddenly flashed with a dazzling golden light. I hesitated for a moment and stepped on it. Normally, as soon as the second foot was up, my feet suddenly became empty, and my whole body turned forward and turned over.

It's miserable, I'm hit...

"Ah, oh!" I screamed, and did not fall down like I imagined, but fell directly to the ground, becoming a big font and lying on the ground.

"Hehe, you can fall even if you are so big, it's so funny...hehe!" A young girl's voice came to my ears from the side.

Damn it, whose child is so uneducated, and when he saw someone falling down and not coming forward to help him, he could even laugh. It was true. I stood up and cursed, but after looking around, I couldn't curse it.

Because I was no longer in the swamp at this moment, but in a small village, surrounded by thatched sheds, and occasionally a chicken was giggling and running past me. Not far away, a few people dressed in farmers were chatting, waiting for someone in the house with smoke to call them back for dinner.

Where is this?

"Your hidden, you discovered the ruins of lament and gained five thousand experiences." I was stunned by listening to the prompt sound of the system in my ears. Is this the ruins of lament that I am looking for? It looks quite warm and is simply a paradise. How could it be called "ruins"?

"Hehe, are you stupid? You look like a big wooden chicken!" The little girl beside her laughed again.

I looked down and saw that this was definitely not a player. There was no such a small player in the world. I saw that she was only four or five years old at best. She was wearing a pink and green dress with brown and black hair on her head and curly, her pink face looked like a big apple, her two big watery blue eyes were looking at me with a smile, and her right index finger was put in her red mouth, sucking loudly, and the whole doll was working.

"Little girl, what's your name? Why did you come here? What about your parents?" Although I had already peeked at her name with the eyes of reality, I still squatted down and asked her.

"I can't tell you." Emil blinked his big eyes and said naively: "Mom and Dad said, don't let Emil be told to talk to strangers, otherwise he will be caught by the bad guys. Emil is a good child. Following his parents' words, his mother asked me to come here to get a basket, so I'll take it." Oh, this little girl is really a good child, and she says whatever she asks.

"Where is the basket?" She was obviously empty-handed, so there was no basket.

Emil stretched out her little finger and pointed at my back, pouted her mouth and said angrily: "You have hit the basket behind me."

I stood up and looked back. Sure enough, there was a big basket with a few pieces of coarse cloth clothes in it. It seemed that I suddenly appeared here and threw out all the baskets in Little Amier's hand. But I thought again, it wasn't right! A living person appeared out of thin air. This little girl was not afraid at all. Even if she was an NPC, she wouldn't have done it so fake, right?

"Uncle, are you here to save us?" the little girl pulled the corner of my clothes and asked timidly.

"Save you? What does it mean?" I looked at Emil's red face, and her eyes seemed to be filled with eager desire.

Emil tilted her head and looked at me for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard from my grandfather that one day there will be a great hero to save the person in our money. I know that uncle is that person."

"What great hero, why should I save you?" Looking at this village, isn't it good to be poor? What else should I save? Could it be that I could help them get rid of poverty and become rich? I murmured in my heart. Just as I was about to ask something from Emil's mouth, Emil suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky, and said in panic: "Uncle, I can't tell you anymore. It's going to be dark. Mom said that after dark, the monsters will come out and I'm going home." After saying that, I didn't even want the basket, and ran away in a hurry.

When it gets dark, monsters will come out. It seems that adults like to use this story to scare children. I looked up at the sky. The sun had completely sunk to the other side of the mountain, and a light yellow crescent moon hung high in the sky. A few faint black clouds floated slowly, outlining shallow shadows on the ground.

It seems that if you want to ask an adult, there will always be an NPC that will tell me what the situation is here. Just as I was about to walk into the village, everything in front of me scared me again.

A few farmers who were standing not far away disappeared in a blink of an eye, and Xiao Mi'er's figure disappeared out of thin air on the road. The thatched hut that had just raised smoke was now only a few ruins and ruins; the fat chicken that had just jumped and ran through my eyes, now only a skeleton; the basket I held in my hand... I turned my head and saw that there were still some baskets, only a few strands of rags scattered on the ground, with blood stained with rags...

This was a bit evil. I quickly called out Xiaoying and the others, took out two handfuls, held them tightly in my hands, and carefully touched them into the village...

Xiao Hei seemed to have noticed something, suddenly he growled and rushed forward, and I followed him and ran over.

Bypassing a collapsed earth wall, Xiao Hei kept roaring at the white figure. The white shadow swayed around, but there was no sign of attack. I threw a real peek over and showed an NPC named Blacksmith Glenton. This is strange. How could a blacksmith have a bunch of bones? And it could move.

Just in case, I started sneaking and walked over quietly. He staggered to the wall, as if he bent down and took something, turned around and walked to a pile of soil, and swung his right hand hard. What was this? I stared at his movements in a daze--he swung for a while, then put the things in his hand aside, and then took them back to continue swinging his hands. This movement... Could it be that he was smacking the iron, and I suddenly realized.

Since I was not aggressive, I naturally had no need to pay attention to him. After the stealth was eliminated, I walked to Glenton, but he seemed to have not seen me and continued to focus on "iron".

"Hey! Can you hear me talking?" I asked loudly, but he ignored me at all and didn't even look back. I tried to push him and pushed him to the ground. The bone seemed to have seen a ghost and looked around, as if he had picked up something from the ground, and continued to swing the invisible hammer in his hand. I was angry and pushed him again. Now, he suddenly got up from the ground, looked around for a few times, opened his mouth and ran out, and he was dancing, as if he had seen a ghost. If he could make a sound at this time, he must have been shouting loudly: "There are ghosts - the ghosts -"

I was so dizzy, what does this mean? I circled the whole village and didn't see a single living mouth. Some of them were these skeletons who didn't know what they were doing. I also tried to use a dagger to cut them. Who knew that the system prompted me not to attack the undead NPC, and I couldn't ask, and I couldn't beat them. In this way, I really wanted to die of anxiety.

I originally wanted to go back and ask the mentor Dikado again, but the system prompted me that I could not use it. After a long time of redirecting, I found nothing and wanted to send a message to ask someone to ask me for information, but I didn't know that it was like in the Yellow Springs Hell, so I couldn't send a message. This is really a hell. What kind of place I'm going to be, and I'm in a dilemma.

I squatted on the wall weakly, looking at the skeleton man walking around in front of me. Occasionally, a bone chicken or a skeleton dog ran past me. A skeleton dog actually raised one leg and pissed me on. Although it did not really spill on me, its movement made me want to kick the bones all over it with one kick.

Forget it, since no one can communicate with us and can't find a monster to fight, I might as well go offline first and go to inquire tomorrow morning. I was discouraged. I thought about it and went to bed first.
