Chapter 119 Thirty-four. A new set sail

  The sky of Watching Town was covered with lead-like dark clouds, and the blood-colored tentacles that were unsightly had disappeared.

   This might cause some trouble for Richard.

   swayed slightly, driving on the carriage on the way home, Lu Xin thought.

   Next, Lu Li only needs to do two things: destroy other Scarlet tentacles, and wait for new tentacles to appear. At that time, Lu Li could judge Richard's location based on the new tentacles.

   It's a pity that the remaining five tentacles are far from Belfast and Watchtown, they are not even in Sugard Hill. The blood-red tentacles swaying in the clouds were as illusory and distant as the mountains at the end of the horizon.

  Whoa——

  The sheepskin map unfolds, and the smell of ginkgo biloba and palm oil overflows from the map.

   Anna held up the oil lamp, and the dim yellow light poured on the wrinkled sheepskin map.

  This map draws the entire Principality of the Ellen Peninsula. Lu Li pressed his finger on the place marked as Watching Town on the map, and then moved to its north and west, all the way up, until he slid to another place marked with the name.

   Shadowswamp.

   A place whose name is vaguely unknown.

   On this old sheepskin map of some age, the symbol marked by Shadowswamp is three wavy lines with a dead tree drawn above the lines.

  Lu Li removed his finger, and on the edge of the Shadow Swamp, a slightly smaller town symbol was revealed where the finger was originally held. That's Shadowtown, right next to the town built by Shadowswamp.

   "It seems that this tentacle is far away." Anna whispered.

   On the way to buy a map, Lu Li had already told Anna everything about Richard's line, except for the information about the "door". Anna first complained about why Lu Li kept refusing to tell her, and after she didn't get an answer, she decided to help Lu Li.

  Lu Li can be without Anna, but Anna must have Lu Li.

   After hearing this, Lu Li returned to Belfast. It's a palm's distance from Shadowswamp on the map - some distance from Belfast, but not too far.

  According to the distance of 1 cm equals 10 miles, the distance is less than 200 miles.

  Depart from Belfast in the early morning and arrive at Shadow Town almost before evening.

  Strictly speaking, it is the dividing line between the Ellen Peninsula and the mainland. The Shadow Swamp was first discovered a long time ago, and people thought it was just an ordinary swamp on the coast. It was not until people began to expand and colonize that they discovered that there was a peninsula hidden behind this amazingly large swamp.

   The width of dozens of miles is enough to give any traveler who wants to travel to Belfast a headache.

   So rather than traversing the Shadowswamp, most people would prefer to bypass it and reach Rodster Harbor by boat.

  Especially after the disaster, all the rumors from the Shadow Swamp...

   "It's the closest to us."

   Lu Li answered Anna's words.

   The remaining Scarlet Tentacle hosts may not be on the Ellen Peninsula.

  …

   "Swamp? Why do you want to go to such a rotten place." Hades showed a look of disgust. I don't know what was touched by the word swamp, or whether I simply hated Lu Li's behavior of free food.

  As usual, Lu Li would come to Hades to ask some questions before doing anything.

   "What happened there?" Lu Li asked.

  Anna stayed in the carriage outside and did not come in.

Hudders shook his head impatiently: "Dampness, mosquitoes, parasites, and the terrifying noise of bugs. I'm sure you'd rather take a boat to Belfast in hurricane weather after you've been there once. I don't want to go through there anymore."

   "How much do you know about the rumors there?"

   "Rumors? What rumors? Oh you said Sasquatch and Yingchuo? Don't worry, I heard about it as soon as I can remember, whether it's true or not - it's almost dead now."

   "Can you tell me, the savage and the shadowy people."

"I hate you the most! Your curiosity is like an abyss that can never be filled. I think I have said more than once that the more you know, the faster you die. Curiosity doesn't mean a good thing! For you to gain longer, I decided not to-"

   "I plan to add 10 silver-plated bullets later, do you have any seller recommendations?"

   "Oh my dearest friend, what do you want to know? Sasquatch and Yingchuo? Of course, it would satisfy my friend's curiosity."

  Like money is not Hades' problem, his problem is that every time he has to be slapped in the face it will work.

  Lu Li didn't say anything, waiting for Hades to tell these two rumors.

  The savage and the Shadowman are rumors that have existed in Shadowswamp for a long time, so long that Haders believes that their earliest rumors date back to the beginning of the establishment of Shadowtown.

There are many similar rumors about    Shadowswamp, after all, its name itself is not very beautiful. If it is called the Sacred Swamp or the Royal Swamp of Ellen, it is another feeling.

   Among the many rumors, the Sasquatch and the Shadow Man are the most widely circulated and the most detailed. The former was hairless and covered in thick swamp silt. It has no feet and is called the savage because it has six hands, moves like a reptile, haunts the Shadow Swamp, and likes to attack humans with delicious flavors.

  The latter is more terrifying, Yingchuo people will appear in the small town, travelers crossing the swamp, caravans, and in short, near the vicinity of human activities in the dimness of the evening. They tend to hide behind dead trees in the swamp at the darkest moment, and sullenly stick out their bodies to spy on nearby humans.

  What's more terrifying is that they don't just wander in the swamp. He will also sneak into town during certain moonless hours, hiding in the shadows outside the window, and spying evilly...

   Therefore, before the disaster of the night, Shadow Town already had the traditions of 【Do not approach the swamp after dark】 and 【Keep the room bright after dark】.

   As for the existence of these two rumored dark creatures... Hades doesn't believe it.

   He firmly believes that the more detailed the rumors, the less likely they are to be true - did the victim pay attention to the details when he was attacked, and even count the number of hairs on each leg?

   "Is it true that Shadow Town can't leave after dark?"

   "Uh...seems to be true."

   "So the rumors are not necessarily false."

  Lu Li's judgment left Hades speechless, but not embarrassed, he was very thick-skinned.

   Almost understood, Lu Li finally asked, "If I'm going to Shadow Town, is there anything you want to tell me?"

   "Advice? Of course there is."

   Hades' tone became low, his face was gloomy under the oil lamp, and his voice was hoarse to warn Lu Li.

   "It's more dangerous and terrifying than you think. If you must go there, must...be sure to bring...pest control powder."
