Downey's hand tremors certainly weren't due to weakness.

In fact, he recovered very quickly, and it only took half a day to fully recover from the weakness and injury of his body after exiting the atomization state.

The reason Downey's hands shook a little was that the mark he had left before was gone.

When he found out that something was wrong with Tobis, he immediately left his secret imprint on Tobis's body.

Therefore, Donnie was not panicked at all when he was besieged, because he had other ways to leave.

But now things have changed, and the arcane sigil on Tobis's body has disappeared.

This means that there has been an accident on Tobis's side, and it is likely that he is dead or that the Arcane Mark has been discovered.

Downey's arcane sigil appears to be a cloud of black smoke that will remain undetected in most cases.

However, there is a certain possibility that the arcane sigil will be discovered, and Donnie has tried it once before in Mizuri, only to be discovered and lifted by the black witch Dadakanya at the time.

Donnie didn't think this would happen again, but the truth was that something had gone wrong with the arcane sigil.

Fortunately, Downey left more than one arcane mark, both on Mike and at the base of the tree where the mysterious pattern was found.

It was just a momentary omission that allowed the black witch in front of her to pick up a life, and the four pairs of feet danced quickly and fled towards the dry forest.

The ground here is not full of swamps, there is the mud like a giant crocodile to stay by the Black Witch, but it can be fossilized into mud at any time and escape with the Black Witch, but now the two of them are not together, and the Black Witch is not good at this kind of spell, so she can only rely on her own speed to escape.

Donnie tried to catch up, but the silver bullet even hit the Black Witch, leaving the Black Witch bent on escaping.

On the contrary, it is not so easy for the giant crocodile that has just broken free from the frozen mud to run.

The clay crocodile Kaimen was covered in ice, and his four claws quickly sank to the ground, apparently intending to follow the black witch and escape.

Without fogging, Donnie's speed is indeed not enough to catch up with the Black Witch, after all, the Black Witch has eight steps, plus the original limbs, the speed of running is naturally not slow, and she fled into the depths of the swamp in the blink of an eye.

Downey could only turn around and deal with the second phase of the clay crocodile, which was still a frost spell as usual, and the dark blue freezing air quickly froze Caimen on the gray-white ground, and only a tail with mud could still wagging around.

With a lantern in his hand, Donnie walked all the way to the giant crocodile's side, and at this moment, Downey had won the battle with the Swamp Black Witch.

The dark magic of hell quickly destroyed the seemingly incomparably hard clay crocodile, and after the magic split it in two, the clay crocodile was instantly reduced to rubble.

【Skill +1.2】

The dim light illuminated the minions outside the range and fled at the same time, and Donnie didn't have the heart to be ruthless with these dead things that seemed impossible to provide him with skill points, so he retracted the lantern and walked outside.

Although the surrounding environment did not seem to have changed, Downey walked all the way, and after a while, the gray-white peeled dead trees around him finally disappeared.

The trees around Donnie had a few hints of green, and they all looked weak.

At the same time, Donnie also saw the river in the swamp, he didn't know what it was called, but he saw quite a few trees growing in the water.

"I should have been here—" Donnie looked closer, and realized that he had been here when he was running away with Tobis.

Compared to the gray-white space just now, the situation here looks much better.

Although it is still dark and the mosquitoes are abundant, it does match Donnie's impression of the swamp.

After walking through the path of man or beast in the woods, Donnie quickly returned to the place where he had found the mysterious symbol on the root of the tree.

In Donnie's line of sight, a thumb-sized mark of black mist was shining.

This was Donnie's last arcane mark left here, and both Tobis and Mike had all gone from their marks.

"If they have the ability to lift my arcane seal, their strength will at least not be much worse than mine."

Donnie withdrew the arcane sigil, thinking that Mike and Tobis might have had an accident.

"The likelihood of an accident is highest, this swamp is too dark, the smell of death is rampant, and I am afraid there will be other weirdness besides the Black Witch."

In the case of a ghoul walking alone, it is not impossible to overturn.

Thinking to himself, Donnie walked in the direction he had come, but he had probably anticipated the danger of the edge of the swamp a little higher.

Away from the river, Downey even saw a wooden shrimp boat floating over the water.

The town of Canafs, a specialty of the crayfish, comes at the right time for Donnie to celebrate the Crayfish Festival at this time of year.

Since Downey doesn't plan to stay in Canafs, the Crayfish Festival probably won't be able to participate.

But when Donnie came out of the swamp along the way he came, he found that the carriage that had been tethered to the outside was gone.

After taking a closer look at his surroundings, Downey realized that the person driving the carriage away was actually Mike.

Although Donnie is not a master of solving crimes, let alone a great detective, it is impossible for there to be too many footprints on the ground in such a remote and sparsely populated place.

In addition to Donnie's own shoe prints, Mike's shoe prints in and out are all preserved.

"Tobis should have come out too, and the reason for the different shoe prints when he came in and out may be because he changed his shoes."

As for the details, Donnie really can't see it.

Downey looked around and determined that it was unlikely that a car would appear here anytime soon.

"Forget it, let's go back by yourself."

The distance from this swamp to the town of Canafus is not particularly far, and with Donnie's physical fitness, he will not feel tired all the way back.

Unlike when he walked from Lalik Hill to Canafs, Downey is in good shape and much closer.

On the way back, Donnie didn't see anyone, and it seemed that the ghouls weren't lying about it, and the people of Canafus were deliberately avoiding the swampy woodlands in the area.

As a result of this situation, Donnie could only walk back, and the Eagle of Hope had already run out of times, and it had been infected by the demonic power of Hell for a while, and it was long since it was useless.

The trees along the roadside were much better than the trees in the previous swampy woodlands, and Downey found some signs of beast activity.

Eventually, Downey finds something familiar on the side of the road.

The carriage carrying Donnie to the swampy woodland overturned on the side of the road, breaking a large tree and causing serious damage to itself.

The two horses were gone, and there was a lot of blood on the ground and in the carriage that had not yet coagulated.
