Chapter 118 Chapter 118
The things around were retreating at a very fast speed. Mi Li grabbed Awok Cao's curly hair tightly, fearing that he would jump down several times in a row and let her fall off his back.
The howling of the mist wolf behind her, accompanied by the sound of the wind, kept lingering in Mi Li's ears.
Awok Cao led the two men through the mist orchid forest and through the grass, and slowly stopped when they could no longer hear the howling of the mist wolves.
"Ugh~" Mi Li couldn't help but vomit to the side after he got off Awok Cao's back.
"Xiao Pao, are you okay?" Awok Cao changed back into human form and began to pat Mi Li's back carefully, asking with concern.
Mi Li waved her hands to indicate that she was fine, but she was still bent over and retching.
Li Luo was fine. The training during holidays was not just talk. At least this kind of bumpy ride was nothing to her.
Taxus and Ulysses also rushed over.
Ulysses, who was still weak all over, was thrown directly onto a stone by Turks. He slumped against a stone with his back. Seeing Mi Li retching, he asked in a soft voice with some concern,
"Xiao Pao, Xiao Pao, what's wrong with you!"
With weak hands and a "weak and boneless" expression looking at Mi Li, he looks like the male and female protagonists in the tragic love story in idol dramas.
Tuckers stretched out his hand and waved away the awkward atmosphere!
"Xiao Pao, if I had known the captain could run so fast, I would have carried you! Ulysses is too heavy!" Turks looked at Ulysses with some disgust.
Mi Li held his chest and regained some strength before saying,
"I'm fine. It's just my first time running like this. I don't have much experience!"
"Xiao Pao, I'm sorry, I will try to be gentler next time!" Awok Cao said with some guilt.
Mi Li took out half a Washa fruit from the mobile warehouse, took a bite, and said while chewing,
"Captain, it's okay. This is also the first time I've experienced such excitement. Hehe!"
Seeing that Mi Li was really fine, Awok Cao said nothing more. He glanced at the location recorder in his hand, and then looked at the status of several teammates, and said,
"We can't hear the howling of the mist wolf anymore. Let's take a rest and eat something before we set off again!"
Today's mission was luckily completed! But if they hadn't cut down the trees, the mist wolf might have come up. It would have been a bloody battle, and it was not certain whether the little cub could survive! Awok Cao thought to himself.
Mi Li slowly moved his feet and walked towards Ulysses.
The rock that Ulysses was lying on was quite big. Mi Li sat on it and asked curiously,
"Ulysses, you were so awesome just now! Why are you like this now?"
Ulysses saw the gossip in Mi Li's eyes and gave up the idea of closing his eyes and resting.
"It's inherited from my family! It's easy to become weak when you use up all your strength!"
Mi Li's little hand touched Ulysses' forehead, then touched her own forehead and said,
"I don't seem to have a fever! This kind of trait actually runs in the family. Will your health bar drop?"
Ulysses seemed to be awakened by the rice grains. He slowly raised his weak arms and opened the positioning recorder. He saw that his health bar had not dropped, but his hunger value was almost reaching the critical point!
"My health bar hasn't dropped, but I might be a little hungry!" Ulysses said embarrassedly.
In his current condition, Ulysses had difficulty even lifting his arms, let alone chewing the chewy roasted mushrooms!
"Tax, can you do me a favor?" Ulysses looked at Tux with a little pleading.
Tux was chewing on a grilled mushroom. When he heard Ulysses, he looked back and asked,
"what's up?"
"Nothing, I'm just starving! Could you, at least, maybe squeeze half a wasa fruit for me to eat?"
Mi Li quietly watched the stare between Ulysses and Turks. Ulysses looked at Turks pitifully like a young wife, while Turks' eyes became a little impatient.
In the duel between the two, Tuckers was ultimately defeated.
Ulysses took out a Washa fruit from the mobile warehouse, turned his head away, and motioned for Turks to take it.
Tucker's face showed reluctance, but his feet were very honest.
"I've never done anything like this in my life! Don't push your luck." Tuckers warned.
Ulysses ignored Turks's bullying and collapsed on the rock with his mouth open, waiting to be fed.
Mi Li felt like she was going crazy, the tsundere little top vs the cute muscular bottom, these two people actually have such a magical aura.
Tux also felt a little puzzled. Why did she call him when there were so many people to call? Xiaopao was the one sitting closest to her and had the best relationship with her, but she didn't call him either!
Ulysses certainly wanted to ask Mi Li for help, but the thought of asking a female cub to feed him, with such a mature and stable body, seemed very unmanly.
"Ulysses, you don't even have the strength to chew!" Mi Li began to ask, unable to suppress his inner thoughts.
Ulysses looked at Mi Li in shock, and then spoke faster than his brain could think.
"Xiao Pao, how did you know?"
After saying that, Ulysses quickly closed his mouth, and his macho image just now was shattered.
Tucker's mocking look was full of meaning, and Mi Li turned her face away and began to laugh out loud in a suppressed manner.
"Okay, okay! I don't want to eat anymore!" Ulysses said with a red face and thick neck.
Mi Li quickly turned around, took out a few Wulan fruits that she had taken away from her mobile warehouse with a smile on her face, and said
"No, no, no, you'll be hungry if you don't eat. I can't squeeze the Washa fruit, but it's easy to squeeze some juice out of this Wulan fruit! Open your mouth!"
Ulysses glared at Mi Li, but without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and waited for her to squeeze some juice for him.
Awok Cao looked at the surrounding terrain. They came out of the Wulan fruit forest, crossed the mountain, passed through a large area of grass, and arrived at the current place.
There were weeds all over the front, with a few bare trees here and there, with only branches visible but no leaves at all. Then I looked at the mud under my feet, which was black, moist and sticky. I hadn't noticed it if I hadn't paid attention, but now I see that there is a thick layer of black mud on the soles of my shoes, blending seamlessly with the soles of my shoes.
"This seems to be a sticky swamp!" Li Luo suddenly stood beside Awok Cao and said.
Li Luo and Awok Cao of the Slimy Swamp have both experienced such a dungeon, but the difficulty of the competitions they participated in at that time was different, so it was really hard to judge whether this was the same slimy swamp as in the previous competition dungeons.
"What sticky swamp? Could this be another trap? Are all the contestants this year so powerful?" After hearing the conversation between Li Luo and Awok Cao, Tax hurried over.
A patch of weeds in front of us constantly emitted a bit of eerie mist from the ground, and there was no end in sight.
When Mi Li and Ulysses heard about this sticky swamp, they stopped what they were doing and couldn't help but look forward.
It's no exaggeration that Mi Li has gone through so many cub copies, so she knows a thing or two about the sticky swamp copy. There are also some pink long-tongued frogs growing under the grass. It is said that the organizer had to change the skin of all the star beasts in this copy into pink ones because there were too many cubs with psychological problems in previous competitions.
In fact, the real long-tongued frogs are the same color as the black soil. There are many of them, but they are all small G-level star beasts. They pose no threat to humans. When crossing such a sticky swamp, what you need to be careful of is not these long-tongued frogs, but the swamp that can eat people.
It is impossible to fly over there, because the fog emitted by the sticky swamp becomes more toxic as it goes higher.
"Or should we turn back? Or change direction?" Mi Li didn't really want to go through such a sticky swamp.
Awok Cao looked around and saw that the mountain he had just turned over had begun to slowly dissipate and become transparent.
"I think we have to cross this swamp now!" Awok Cao's hoarse voice came out, but his eyes never left the disappearing scene.
Mi Li followed Awok Cao's line of sight and couldn't help but curse.
Holy shit! The competition is doing this again, can they come up with something new?
Tuckers was a little skeptical. The mountain they had just climbed was still vivid in their mind, so how could it suddenly disappear? And it was spreading towards them.
"What's going on? We seem to be getting farther and farther away from the foot of the mountain!" Turks couldn't help but ask.
Awoqcao also felt the same abnormality.
"Could it be that the place where we are standing is drifting?" Mi Li couldn't help but say in a low voice.
The tall mountains quickly became farther and farther away and more and more transparent, and this time Mi Li and the others only felt that they were in the middle of a field of weeds.
"Captain, what should we do?" Li Luo frowned and asked worriedly.
"Be on guard first, this sticky swamp is really weird!" Awok Cao pulled out a long stick from the mobile warehouse, held it up, and was on alert.
They couldn't run at all in such a sticky swamp. As soon as they ran, they would inhale a large amount of poisonous mist. Therefore, even if they turned into their original forms, they couldn't catch up with the mountain that was quickly moving away from them.
Mi Li held a stone in her hand and protected Ulysses. The situation was obviously not like this just now. Why did it change so quickly once they noticed it, as if they knew what they were thinking?
The poisonous fog visible to the naked eye slowly drifted upwards, as if it was rising consciously towards the sky where Mi Li and the others were.
Mi Li quickly covered her mouth and nose, because inhaling this thing would easily cause blood loss.
Ulysses was out of strength, so Mi Li threw the stone without hesitation and covered his mouth and nose with his other hand.
Mi Li: Brother, you owe me two lives now!
It seemed like a century had passed before Mi Li finally saw the dark clouds steadily hanging above his head.
He loosened his mouth and nose, and couldn't help but start breathing heavily.
"This thing is rising so fast, it's time to eat!" Mi Li pointed at the poisonous fog above his head and complained.
Awok Cao, however, frowned, his face was pale, and he looked around with a stern expression, without saying a word.
Just now, although he only inhaled a small amount of poisonous mist, his body felt sticky and heavy.
Turks and Ulysses were no less impressive.
"My body feels so heavy! How do you feel?" Turks couldn't help but ask everyone.
"Me, me too. I feel weak all over and as if I'm being pressed down by a huge rock." Ulysses said with difficulty.
"I'm fine, just a little wet!" Li Luo said calmly.
Awok Cao's situation at this time was not very good. Not only did his body feel like it was being pressed down by a stone, but it also felt sticky, like melting candy, and his body could collapse into a puddle of mud at any time.
"I...I don't seem to be well!"
After Awok Cao finished speaking, he held the stick in his hand and put all his strength on it.
Mi Li saw the condition of several members of the team and jumped in surprise. There was nothing abnormal about them.
"Didn't you cover your mouth and nose just now?"
Mi Li was just busy covering Ulysses' mouth and nose and didn't pay any attention to the situation of the remaining teammates.
"Cover it! But this poisonous fog seems to be aimed at us!" Tax said, leaning against the stone where Ulysses was lying.
Awok Cao and Li Luo also nodded.
Could it be that this poison mist also targets people by age, so that the younger the age, the less damage they will suffer? Mi Li secretly complained.
Life is full of pitfalls! Just after the release of the Fog Orchid Forest, now we are in the Sticky Swamp. The authorities are going to kill them!
"Captain, can you still walk?" Mi Li looked at the collapsed teammates and asked with concern.
Awok Cao glanced at the positioning recorder in his hand. His health bar did not drop, but the abnormality of his body restricted his movements.
"I guess we can't leave now! If this slimy swamp is the same as the previous instance, I should be able to recover a lot from the poisonous fog I inhaled by taking a rest!"
"Oh! We are jumping from one pit to another! We have five teammates, three of them are main players, and now the main players are paralyzed. What can the two young cubs do? It's so depressing!" Ulysses couldn't help sighing while lying on the stone.
The atmosphere became a little stagnant, and Turks couldn't help but pat Ulysses on the shoulder. It was his fault for saying such discouraging words!
"Without me as a main force, I believe Xiao Pao and Little Duke Li Luo will definitely perform well!" Tux said optimistically at this time to break the atmosphere.
Mi Li patted her chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, even if you become paralyzed, I will take good care of you!"
She felt very satisfied to have survived to the third day. At least she was not the last one. Even if she got a consolation prize, she would think it was worth it.
"Xiao Pao, you are so nice!" Ulysses thanked Mi Li in a daze, with tears in his eyes.
Li Luo, who was standing by and watching this, rolled her eyes! It's not like he's going to die! Why are all the people who have collapsed like this?
