Chapter 1 The Parasitic Hair

After that Dubaiya mask elder gained sufficient casting time, he actually began to unleash the incredibly powerful Parasitic Dart! He continuously shot out those disgusting, parasite-like hairs, causing Fang Senyan and the others a great deal of trouble.

This perverted ability called "Parasitic Hair" was a very strange existence. You could consider it a type of black magic, or even a kind of organism. After entering your body, it would inflict continuous damage. This wouldn't be so bad, but once it absorbed enough health from your body, the Parasitic Hair would gain life and become a summoned creature, continuing to wreak havoc deep within the host...

Therefore, once hit by this thing, it was crucial to dissect it immediately, otherwise the consequences would be dire! Just imagine the consequences of having an abortion performed on any part of your body...

Reef's minion lost two more here. Fortunately, Fang Senyan gritted his teeth and used the team skill: Glory of Healing, plus gulped down a bottle of free honor potion, finally withstanding the mask elder's black magic bombardment! He killed one Dubaiya mask elder, and then he and Reef quickly retreated! Reef's minion was lost here while staying behind.

After this battle, Fang Senyan was covered in cuts made by Reef, even more miserable than the ancient Chinese slow slicing.

However, two hours later, when Reef and Fang Senyan healed their wounds and made a juan tu, their battle became much easier! Without the Dubaiya elder freely casting spells, and with the two of them being resistant to most of the contagious diseases, they once again killed a Dubaiya elder and turned to flee. With Reef's heart-wrenching, powerful group slowing ability to cover their retreat, and Reef wearing shoes that negated the slowing effect of the swamp, the ordinary Dubaiya natives simply couldn't catch up!

When the two of them came for the third time, the leaderless ordinary Dubaiya natives, though still brave, were caught in a state of fighting individually, and were finally killed one by one by Fang Senyan and the others.

In this way, the two finally cleared out the Dubaiya tribe on the outskirts of the Great Swamp, occupying their core village.

This Dubaiya settlement was located on a piece of solid ground in the middle of the Great Swamp, occupying an area about the size of a school's sports field. It was dotted with wooden sheds of the same architectural style, as well as lookout towers built in a tripod fashion, and an assembly hall full of primitive style.

When they were taking stock of this place, Fang Senyan and the others were pleasantly surprised to discover two large treasure chests, and they also reaped a great harvest. They obtained six bags of gold sand, a silver beetle inlaid in a very conspicuous place, and a roughly processed gold brick. It seemed that these Dubaiya natives also had a sense of imminent danger, concentrating their wealth in the most secure place, but they did not expect to be defeated one by one by Fang Senyan and the others.

After searching for a while, Fang Senyan and the others also obtained the last piece of stone slab, but after putting the four stone slabs together, they did not notice anything unusual. Moreover, the legendary underground passage had not appeared.

To pry open every brick and stone here for a detailed search would definitely find the location of the mechanism, but it would also take a lot of time. Fang Senyan directly asked Mbenge for help, to see if he could give them some help. Mbenge thought for a while, bent down, dipped his finger in the blood of a dead tribal elder, tasted it, and then began to close his eyes and sniff carefully for a while, before leading Fang Senyan and the others to the right.

Under Mbenge's guidance, they entered a wide shed. In front of the shed was a flat open space paved with stone strips. The shed was divided into three rooms. The one facing the front door was the main room, with a fire pit in the middle. The flames burned all year round. Usually, the natives would receive guests and treat illnesses here. The room on the left side of the main room was the owner's residence, and the room on the right should be the place for dividing prey and practicing black magic. Seeing that the blood-stained ground here was purplish-black, one could tell that it was mostly filled with blood.

The door of the main room did not seem to be tightly closed, revealing a dark crack, like a ferocious and violent beast's mouth, greedily waiting for the arrival of prey. Mbenge put his hand on it and pushed it gently, and the door made a very dull and unpleasant "creak" sound, slowly opening. The sound traveled far in the silent night.

Fang Senyan suddenly stopped him and said, "Be careful."

Fang Senyan stood at the door for a while. At this time, it was already late. Because there was no sun during the day, there was no steam of water and poisonous fog, and the sky was hazy at night. Fang Senyan looked up at the sky. He didn't know when, but the moon had shrunk to half its size, as if a layer of white fluff had grown on it, hazy and indistinct, like the white hair growing on the back of a rotting corpse, or like a gauze scarf on the head of an evil ghost.

He suddenly said to Reef, "I wonder if you have noticed something? That is, the ages of these Dubaiya people we have killed so far seem to be a bit peculiar."

Reef thought for a moment and said, "That's right, they should all be at least forty years old. Of all the natives we've killed, we haven't seen a single woman, child, or young person."

Fang Senyan frowned and said, "Many environments in the biological world are consistent. If you connect this with the Black Marsh Giant, what do you think of?"

Reef was stunned: "These Black Marsh Giants can't survive in the core area of the Dubaiya Giant Marsh, and then they are driven out...do you mean, are these Dubaiya people we killed the kind of losers who were eliminated? Exiled to the periphery?"

Fang Senyan nodded seriously and said, "It's very possible, so the real horror is only just beginning!"

Reef took a deep breath, nodded, and tightly gripped his shield before entering the room. The room was silent, as if it was dominated by something evil and dangerous. He even felt that his own heartbeat was clearly audible, and a cold and evil feeling arose in his blood.

As soon as he walked in, he could smell a foul stench in the air, which was like a fish rotting after it had died for a long time, or like a gluttonous beast belching contentedly after a gluttonous meal. After smelling it for a long time, he felt a little nauseous.

In such an environment, the two stood quietly at first, waiting for their eyes to adjust to the darkness. Fortunately, the light of the torches burning outside reflected some of it, and there was a hole in the roof, allowing a faint moonlight to penetrate. Very quickly, the approximate furnishings in the room showed a vague outline.

At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly heard a strange sound in his ears! The sound was long and drawn out, as if something sharp was scratching a blackboard. It seemed to contain endless pain and resentment, like the wailing of a fierce ghost from the depths of hell!

Strangely enough, the house was surrounded by walls, but Fang Senyan always felt that there were gusts of yin wind swirling around him. Unlike the coldness of nature, this yin energy penetrated directly into the bone marrow, as if even the soul was about to be frozen stiff! Although he and Reef were powerful contractors, this kind of weirdness was probably human instinct. Fang Senyan only felt a chill on his back, and even the hairs on his arms stood on end.

But at this time, Mbenge's face showed a look of joy. He closed his eyes, stretched out his thick palms, felt the direction of the wind, and then strode into the room on the right.

He searched carefully on the ground for a while, and then hugged a large pottery jar next to him. This time, he did not destroy it, but slowly rotated it with force. Everyone felt that the ground began to vibrate slightly, and it took a long time to stop.

Fang Senyan and the others searched the room carefully, but did not find anything unusual. However, Mbenge ran out at this time, and saw that a wide passage sloping downwards had appeared on the ground at the door of the house. The passage had steps sloping downwards, which seemed to be made of stones processed by humans. If the mechanism was not activated, the steps would rise straight up to form a flat ground, which could be said to be seamless.

Reef and Fang Senyan walked into the cave at the same time, and found that this should be the passage leading to the core hinterland of the Dubaiya Swamp. Here, the strong smell of blood mixed with decay was overwhelming, almost making people want to vomit. The air here seemed to have turned into viscous water mixed with ice, as cold as dead man's fingers pressing on the face.

The sides of the cave were also piled up with stones, probably to prevent the cave walls from collapsing. Every few meters on the cave walls, there was a black hole about the size of a washbasin, unfathomable. Fang Senyan illuminated it with a torch, and found that something should be crawling in and out of here, it was very smooth, and there were traces of dried mucus.

After walking a few more steps, Fang Senyan and the others saw a very strong and heavy giant door in front of them, and next to the door, there were five or six white cocoon-like objects of different sizes. After walking a few more steps forward, they could see that even in this deep darkness, the surface of the cocoons emitted a faint green light, flickering intermittently. Each time it flickered, there was a mysterious paleness on it, which seemed to be pulsing in a heartbeat manner, and also seemed to be eroding something from the cocoon.

Next to a white cocoon-like object, Fang Senyan suddenly saw a golden and dazzling gun stock! It was actually the signature weapon of the black brothers!!.
