Chapter 68 The Mud Journey

Four sea tribes whose races were unable to see their race walked from a distance to the boulders. Not far ahead of them were two patrol teams walking away from the boulders to a corner. The four sea tribes had expressionless faces and had a special sense of rigidity in their movements, but the patrol attitude was very serious, as if they were unwilling to let go of any enemy. In their vision, there were no intelligent creatures, and everything looked no different from before. The sea tribes kept walking until they stood in front of the boulders, and patrolled around with their eyes, and finally turned around and walked backwards away from the boulders. Behind the four sea tribes, the two patrol teams turned around and disappeared from their sight.

Just after the four sea tribes turned around and began to leave, the calm beach ground suddenly began to surging, as if the calm sea surface suddenly surged. The yellow beach that seemed to be paved with sea sand suddenly turned open, revealing the black mud covered by the yellow sand. Five bulging parts emerged from the mud, and semi-solidized mud flowed downwards. After the mud slipped a part, it was obvious that these were five bulging heads, with protective glasses for diving on their faces and a thick and long ventilator in their mouths. The heads covered with mud only exposed the parts above their eyes on the beach, like crocodiles in the water, crawling silently in the gravel and mud. The concentration of silt under the beach is very high, which greatly increases the difficulty of crawling. Several people could only move forward at a slow speed.

While moving, I don’t know who made some warning under the mud, but the five people stopped at the same time. When they lowered their heads, they hid back under the mud. There were only a few extremely inconspicuous ventilators and mud spots that had fallen from their hair before. No. It was not just the ventilator. At the position of a certain person’s head, there was a thin metal tube exposed a few centimeters from the beach. This was a periscope for diving, and you could see the scenery on the sea from underwater. The periscope slowly turned left and right, and promptly fed back the patrol team in front of the beach to the hidden eyes under the mud.

In the distance, the two patrol teams on the right returned from the corner. The view had covered the beach again, but the beach had already returned to calm. It was impossible to see that there were five people lurking under the mud and sand. The patrol team slowly walked back to the position in front of the boulder, stood in place and began to search with their eyes, and their eyes crossed the ground where several people were hiding, but the perfect disguise brought by nature made this search fail to produce any effect. The two patrol teams stayed in front of the boulder for a minute. Then, like before, they mechanically left the place and walked towards the corner again. But the five people under the mud and sand did not move easily. A few seconds later, the patrol team on the left returned again. If anyone had not been patient enough to move casually before, they would probably be easily discovered by the enemy.

Infiltrating the action depends on patient competition and mastering the timing. Only by moving the most appropriate distance at the most appropriate time can you wait quietly for the rest of the time to safely enter a dangerous area. The five people in the adventure team are all very patient and have enough patience to wait for the enemy to reveal a gap. Sure enough, when the patrol team on the left finished a fixed route and left with the back to the boulder again, the opportunity appeared again. The heads in the mud drilled out of the beach again. This time, the five people stood straight from the beach, although the lower half of their bodies were swallowed up in the mud. But the five people still rushed forward silently at the fastest speed.

When the mud man who was stuck at the last left a large pool of mud on the pebbles outside the beach, but his body had already hidden behind the boulders, the two patrol teams on the right returned again. If they were facing normal enemies, they would definitely doubt the mud left on the ground and search further. However, these controlled sea tribes had no will and did not even have the interest to take a look at the mud on the ground. They walked by directly, only knowing how to do their normal work.

Behind the boulder, several people breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the mud that was covering their faces and sealed their noses, spit out the ventilator in their mouths, and breathed in fresh air. Before they could breathe for a long time, one of the mud men suddenly made a gesture, and several people lowered their bodies again and climbed up the mountain along a hidden path behind the boulder, and quickly left the dangerous range that was very close to the patrol.

"Huh, this smell is really amazing." It was not until the five people entered a relatively safe crack in the rocks that would not be seen by any patrol team, that everyone completely relaxed and sat under the rocks on both sides. A mud man wiped away the mud from his head and face, revealing the dirty wheat-colored skin and long black hair. Catherine vomited out the mud and sand from his mouth in disgust, and said with a tangled look: "But finally, we didn't pay the price in vain, we actually sneaked in smoothly."

"To be honest, I don't want to do this kind of nightmare-like memory again." Lina's fair skin and silver long hair were completely unable to see that it was, and her whole body turned into a black ball. Lina herself could not do anything about this result. Unless there was enough water to soak herself in, the possibility of her returning to neatness and cleanness could be ignored. After discovering this conclusion, Lina shook her head abhorrently, causing the mud on her long hair to splash everywhere. It was not until Catherine pressed her on her leg and slapped her hard. She stopped the prank and said angrily: "I really want to take a shower. The feeling of being covered by dirt is simply terrible."

"There is nothing to do." Panis did not clean his body in vain, but instead lay on the edge of the rock crack and looked outward, carefully observing the surrounding terrain, the enemy's direction and vision, and answered casually: "This method full of courage and self-sacrifice was proposed by you. There may be something you don't know very well. The sport of mud-ground wrestling was originally performed between people and pigs."

"It's so damn. The book never said that it would be so uncomfortable to be covered in mud." Lina said in annoyance: "And the book never said that the mud would smell so smelly, it was like being torture."

"Don't complain, stupid." Vivian's face was expressionless, or the mud on her face made it impossible for her to make any expression. This was the first time that Vivian felt glad for her illness, because her unconscious body did not need to experience the pain of being covered with mud. Vivian took out his ears and pulled out the mud that had sneaked into her ears as much as possible, and said jokingly: "You should be glad, you can see it yourself. Compared to Freya, you are the lucky one."

Freya sat on the ground with her eyes dull and a look of complete collapse. Since she was born, she has existed as the daughter of the city lord and is favored by the entire capital of knowledge. Although the education she received made her not as arrogant and hypocritical as ordinary noble ladies, nor that weak and tender, it is undeniable that compared to the other girls, Freya has never really suffered. From childhood to adulthood, she has maintained her own neatness and demeanor even in adventures. Of course, if her bloated demeanor can be considered a demeanor.

Therefore, when Lina proposed this infiltration method, the most worried about Freya was Freya, worried about whether she could accept this conventional method, but she did not expect that she accepted it without hesitation, and decisively seemed to have nothing to do with her. This kind of sacrifice spirit that puts tasks first made everyone a little admired, and this sense of admiration reached the extreme when Freya left the mud and showed a mental breakdown.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Don't worry, no." Panis shook his head with a stern face: "It is impossible to lose something that does not exist at all."

"You guys are really." Catherine said distressedly: "I still don't forget to make trouble at this time."

"Or I will really collapse." Freya's eyes regained her spirit and she said aggrievedly: "I have never been so dirty in the years since I was born. When I think of the slippery feeling in the mud, I have the urge to vomit. This is really frustrating and sad. Well, give me a piece of cookies, I feel so sad."

"It's really hard for you." Catherine patted Freya's back: "Hold on it again. Today, in order to reward you, I'll especially allow you to eat three honey cakes after meals, with butter."

"Are you serious?" Freya's eyes lit up and she said expectantly: "Do you promise?"

"Of course, this is the Knight's promise." Catherine said seriously: "You are so brave to make spiritual sacrifices, and you can't reward them."

"It's so happy." Freya said excitedly, "How about you reward me with six dollars if I go inside again?"

"Give me a little bit." Catherine rolled her eyes and slapped her on Freya's stomach, causing her mud-filled belly to fluctuate: "If you do this again, I will take back the reward."

"Don't do this." Freya whispered: "I know I'm wrong, I never dare to do it again. Hey, why do you always feel that this sentence sounds so familiar, as if you hear it often, Mr. Pannis, why?"

"Just play, don't pull me in." Pannis complained with a squinted eye and waved his hand: "You come and see, let's go around from the left side later, and then climb up. Have you seen the hole above?"

"Yeah, I saw it." Catherine nodded and said, "Based on past experience, there should be a lot of space inside, enough for the five of us to rest in there."

"That's right." Panis said: "When we go up later, we will move a few medium-sized stones and block the hole after entering. In this way, even if a patrol team passes through the hole, we will not be able to find us."
