Perhaps no island in this sea is more desolate and barren than this one.

Shrimp Island is barren, but people are still barely able to eat. The mountain villages here are on steep mountains. The middle of the entire island is a small mountainous area, surrounded by swamps.

Swamps surround mountain villages, making it impossible for people here to go down the mountain or get close to the sea.

They could only eat the food produced in the barren soil of the mountains to satisfy their hunger and live reluctantly. They were skinny and naked, just like a group of savages.

Due to food shortages, they spent most of the day sitting under dilapidated wooden houses or big trees, spending their lives with minimal consumption.

It wasn't that they were lazy, it wasn't that they didn't want to go fishing at sea, or they didn't want to open up wasteland for farming, but they were scared off by the loud popping sounds of bubbles heard from time to time in the swamp.

Many villagers also tried to find a path leading to the coast, but failed to return. When they reached the swamp, they either got stuck in the mire or fainted for no apparent reason. Decades later, no one could cross the swamp.

These villagers still don’t know that even in the sea water around the island, the fish swimming away cannot escape their bad luck. When they swim into the shore of the cliff island, they will lose their physical strength, as if there is a strong suction force in the netherworld, draining their life force away.

draw.

As a result, they turned into dead fish and floated around the cliff island. They were washed ashore by the tide and became smelly and rotten...

This is Yadao, the most desolate island among the thirty-six islands.

Watching the sunrise and sunset, and the attack of storms day after day, it shows a scene similar to that of the barbaric era.

…

The only small mountain village on Yadao is really not big, with only a few dozen people. The village is hidden in a huge mountain valley, shaded by green trees. It is surrounded by huge rocks, solidly protecting the fragile lives of the villagers.

As soon as the villagers leave the mountain col, they will feel uncomfortable. It seems as if there is a suction force sucking their lives out at all times. The further they go out, the stronger this feeling becomes.

People with strong bodies can barely withstand this discomfort, but those with weak bodies, elderly or young children do not dare to wander around the outside of the mountains. At most, they can only swim around the mountain col.

In this village, the strongest people are He Dayou and He Erya. Only the two of them dare to walk around in the mountains, looking for some sweet potatoes and papayas to satisfy their hunger, and bring them back to the villagers.

Dayou and Erya are two brothers and sisters who are born with a character that refuses to admit defeat. They have faced the swamps surrounding them since they were born, but they have managed to develop a good kung fu. This is also due to the guidance of their father.

In Yadaoshan Village, they are the only family with the tradition of practicing internal medicine. They have been practicing under the guidance of their father since they were young, and have developed a strong body.

Dozens of people in the village plant some food in the mountain col. The brave villagers also plant some near the mountain col, but no one dares to go further. A villager once tried to plant food near the cliff, but he died.

The head of the land.

Except for Dayou, Erya and his father who dared to walk around and collect some food for everyone to satisfy their hunger, everyone else stayed in the village in the mountain col.

But the situation seems to be getting worse.

In the past few decades, the swamp has only spread on the plains around the island. Recently, Dayou and Erya discovered that the land at the foot of the mountain seemed to be slowly encroached by the swamp.

The mud in the swamp seemed to have grown legs, climbing up the already deserted mountain road. It had climbed to a place several feet higher than the swamp. Wherever it went, all the plants rotted and died, whether they were big trees or grass.

This is really a bizarre phenomenon. How can swamp mud climb up the hillside? Is there some mysterious force driving the mud behind it?

The mud crawls out of the swamp in four directions and spreads to the hillside. If the mud is allowed to continue to spread to the hillside, the entire small village will be swallowed up.

Father He took Dayou Erya to the foot of the mountain to check.

As soon as he left the village, Father He warned: "Hurry up and protect yourself, don't let the swamp absorb your true energy."

Da Ya Er Ya has known for a long time that every time he leaves the mountain village, he must practice his martial arts to defend himself. The closer he goes to a place close to the swamp, the more intense his martial arts training must be.

This time we were going down the mountain to the edge of the swamp. Therefore, the three of us, father and son, used their internal strength to close the acupuncture points around their bodies that might leak true energy.

The three of them moved forward cautiously, gradually descending the hillside.

I just feel a chill, like a cold wind blowing past me, blowing into the swamp at the foot of the mountain. This is the kind of mysterious power that can kill people, and can absorb every ounce of vitality from a living person until

Died from exhaustion.

The closer they got to the swamp, the heavier the chill became. The three of them exercised their skills again, protecting the true energy in their bodies, and gradually walked to the foot of the mountain.

Ahead was a swamp hundreds of feet deep, with the mud rolling slowly and bubbles emerging.

It also gave off a faint fishy smell.

The swamp mud moves along areas with sparse vegetation, and ordinary grass and trees cannot stop them. When encountering big trees, they seem unable to overcome them, so they use a method of outflanking, causing the big trees to eventually fall into the mire.

But when they encounter large trees, they seem helpless and can only take a detour.

These big trees have become small islands in the swamp, standing tenaciously.

But I don’t know if the soil under these big trees is still solid? If it turns into a swamp, won’t the entire mountain soften and collapse?

The three of them looked around worriedly.

Father He said: "I'll jump to the big tree in front to have a look."

He found a wooden stick about ten feet long and held it tightly in his hand. Then he jumped over and landed on a big tree two feet away.

Then, Father He climbed to a lower place and poked the swamp mud below with a wooden stick.

"It's still hard down there!" he shouted happily.

This means that the swamp mud only climbed up the hillside and did not turn the hillside into a swamp.

Dayou and Erya smiled happily.

At this moment, something suddenly changed at the foot of the big tree! Just like the sea water stirred up a wave, a huge mud wave stirred up, like a big black and dirty quilt, and rushed towards Father He!

Hearing the sound behind him, Father He turned his head to look, raised the wooden stick in his hand, and stabbed at Nilang!

His powerful impact pierced the mud wave. But the mud wave also covered his whole body, and was covered with swamp mud.

"Father, father!" Da Ya exclaimed, Er Ya was so frightened that she froze.

"ah--"

Father He was already covered by the mud wave, and the mud wrapped him up. He struggled hard and screamed, and then another mud wave set off.

Wrap He's father even more tightly!

Father He must have used all his strength, but he was quickly pulled off the tree by the mud waves and fell into the swamp.

Da Ya has stones on his body, and his luck throws two stones at this time.

The rocks whizzed towards the mud waves and hit them with a bang. Only a muffled howl was heard from the mud waves. It was as if there was a person inside, who was hurt by a big blow.

Da Yao threw stones one after another. His cultivation level was already quite high. When the stones flew out, there was a flash of light. He also threw out his own internal energy!

"Ah, ah!"

The screams of two people were clearly heard in the swamp. One was Father He, and could the other be a monster hiding in the swamp?!

But the mud wave in the swamp did not weaken its power at all. He's father was soon trapped by it until he was unable to struggle, and slowly fell softly into the swamp.

After Da Ya finished throwing the stones, he fisted with his bare hands, and balls of light flew towards Father He one by one.

It only stirred up some sticky mud flowers, and the monster's scream could no longer be heard. Most of He's father's body had already sunk into the swamp, and seemed to be dragged by something, leaving the foot of the mountain and sinking deeper into the swamp...
