Two days later, Liu Hongyu took the secret letter written by Osvaldo VII to Stroppa, accompanied by a group of elite soldiers sent for her by the Grand Duke's Smith Mansion, bid farewell to Liu Aiting and his wife, and set off for the Death Swamp to invite Stropa out of the mountain.

Originally, Liu Aiting also wanted to accompany Liu Hongyu to go with her, but Smith obstructed her in every way, and Liu Aiting did have a lot of things to do, such as going to the boarding college to see her son or something on a regular basis, so in the end, Liu Aiting followed Smith's advice and stayed in Watters City.

There is no way to go in person, Liu Aiting is still quite concerned about the safety of Liu Hongyu's trip, for this reason, Liu Aiting also deliberately asked Smith to choose those elites who have a certain degree of cultivation, combat experience, and loyalty when assigning soldiers to Liu Hongyu, for Liu Aiting's request, Smith of course unconditionally complied, and even Smith carefully screened from his own personal guards, and selected two officers who had reached level 30 to lead the team, which shows how much Smith attaches importance to this matter!

The Grand Duke's Mansion of the Kingdom is naturally low-key, and the soldiers are all energetically riding high-headed horses, and their bodies are even brighter and brighter, looking really heroic and handsome!

Liu Hongyu sat in a large, luxurious, and comfortable carriage, which is said to be an indispensable tool for Liu Aiting, the Grand Duchess! Now Liu Hongyu is sitting in the carriage, and she really doesn't feel the slightest bump or vibration, as if she is sitting in her boudoir!

Such a team that is a little mismatched swaggered all the way through the city of Warfield, causing the people in the city to stop and watch, and everyone talked about it, guessing which heavyweight of the kingdom was sitting in the carriage, and could actually have such an elite army to accompany and protect it......

And in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, a tall figure wearing a long black cloak and a big straw hat stared at the direction of the carriage with a very complicated look, and the pair of clenched fists hidden in the cloak trembled slightly...... Shortly after the procession passed, the figure suddenly drifted into a remote alley and quickly disappeared......

There was almost no obstruction along the way, and Liu Hongyu's team left the gate of Huafeis City and headed northwest!

As the capital of the Kingdom of Ericon, Wallfield City is located in the northeast of the central part of the kingdom, and if you want to rush from Wallfield City to the Death Swamp, it is a long way to go! If calculated according to the general marching speed of the team, Liu Hongyu will take at least a month to reach the edge of the death swamp, fortunately, Liu Aiting will think about everything more carefully before leaving, so this way, Liu Hongyu sitting in the carriage did not suffer anything, sleepy, just lie down and sleep, thirsty and hungry, immediately a soldier brought food and drinks to her, Liu Hongyu even had a comfortable feeling that she was out to travel.

Not only that, all the cities they passed through along the way were received by local officials at the VIP level, and it was necessary to arrange a place to live for a banquet, and many local officials would secretly give some benefits to the soldiers when they left, which made Liu Hongyu, who saw all this in his eyes, have a very bad impression of the officialdom of the Ericon Kingdom...... In fact, how can a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world know that the crows in the world are all generally black......

After more than a month of trekking, the team finally arrived in the nearest town to the Death Swamp.

Since it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon when she arrived in the town, Liu Hongyu still listened to the advice of the leaders of the team, Sword Captain and Axe Captain, to find an inn to rest for the night, and then lead everyone into the Death Swamp early tomorrow morning to find Stroppa.

Also, the poisonous fog that shrouded the swamp of death all year round was also one of the difficulties that Liu Hongyu and the others had to face, and the sword captain and the axe captain needed some time to go to the town to buy some medicine to help everyone resist the erosion of the poisonous fog and recover from their injuries.

Sitting at the window of the inn room, looking at the bustling crowd on the street downstairs, Liu Hongyu's thoughts had flown out of the clouds...... Thinking about what happened to her for more than a year, Liu Hongyu had a feeling of wanting to cry several times, and the happy days when the whole family was chatting and laughing together in the past will never appear again...... Cao Ke's voice and smile, now that I think of it, in addition to the strong thoughts, there is also a trace of indescribable weirdness mixed in it...... plus a child in his womb who has not wanted to be born for a long time...... All of this really made Liu Hongyu have mixed feelings and mixed feelings......

At this moment when Liu Hongyu was stunned, a small paper ball suddenly flew into her window out of nowhere and landed next to Liu Hongyu's hand.

Liu Hongyu was stunned when she saw this, came back to her senses, and quickly looked left and right, but did not find any suspicious situation around, and then, Liu Hongyu opened the small paper ball in surprise.

I saw that the small paper ball was written in an extremely beautiful font: "Xiao Yu'er, this is going to the Swamp of Death, it is dangerous and abnormal, don't act alone, everyone can have a chance to achieve the goal when they get together! Remember, remember!"

Putting the note back together and putting it on the table, Liu Hongyudai frowned slightly, and whispered to herself: "Who wrote this note to me?...... I am used to calling me Xiao Yu'er, except for my relatives, and there is probably only Cao Ke's enemy left...... First, I know Cao Ke's font, how can he write such beautiful words when he is used to it, and secondly, I am going to the Death Swamp, and the master I am looking for is to deal with his Cao family, if it is Cao Ke, it is too late to stop me, how can he care about me so much?...... But if it's not Cao Ke, who will it be?......"

With such a question, Liu Hongyu had the most difficult night since her departure, and when the sun rose the next day, Liu Hongyu was called up from her sleep by the sword captain.

It was obviously unrealistic to enter the Death Swamp and take the carriage again, so the Sword Captain left the carriage at the inn where they stayed, and after receiving the receipt from the inn, the Sword Captain took Liu Hongyu and all the soldiers to march towards the Death Swamp together!

Half an hour later, the team finally came to the edge of the Death Swamp, and the Axe Captain distributed three Shielding Pills and two good healing pills to everyone, and then he instructed aloud: "Everyone, listen, before entering the swamp, everyone needs to take a Shielding Pill, and I believe that the effect of this Shielding Pill does not need me to say more, it is to help us resist the poisonous fog of the swamp!"

"But everyone must keep in mind that each Barrier Pill can only help us resist the poisonous fog for an hour, and when the time is almost up, you need to take the second Barrier Pill, if you don't continue to be invaded by the poisonous fog in your body, the consequences are not a joke! Even if everyone has cultivation, they will die for a lifetime! Therefore, everyone must be very cautious and must not make a mistake on the issue of the pill!"

"Also, I will give each person a total of three Barrier Pills, for the poisonous fog, the Barrier Pill is not foolproof, when you take three pills, you have to find a way to quickly exit the swamp, otherwise, even if you take the Barrier Pill again, it will not have the desired effect, you must rest for one night and then enter the swamp, do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone replied.

Liu Hongyu was a little surprised and said, "Does that mean that we only have less than three hours a day to enter the swamp to look for Stropa?"

Captain Axe nodded affirmatively, "That's right! And these three hours also include the time to withdraw!"

Liu Hongyu's face was bitter, and she said, "Isn't this kind of efficiency a little too low?

"Miss, this is also something that cannot be helped. The sword lieutenant comforted Liu Hongyu and said: "The poisonous mist is fierce, once a person has been in it for more than three hours, even with the help of the Barrier Pill, it is very dangerous, this point, the axe captain has already said." If you just want to improve your efficiency, when you enter the swamp, we can completely disperse and cast a net to search, and in this way, it will be much faster!"

After listening to what the sword captain said, Liu Hongyu suddenly remembered the note from last night in her mind, and quickly waved her hand, and said: "No, no, no! We don't know what the specific situation is in the swamp, and we must not act separately! Only when we get together can we take care of each other, as for efficiency, let's go low if it's low, it's a big deal, let's come a few more times, anyway, things are not very urgent!"

The sword lieutenant smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Liu Hongyu, and said: "Miss is willing to think about the safety of her subordinates, and her subordinates are very grateful.

Having said that, the specific steps of the action were completely decided, so everyone no longer hesitated, and after taking the Barrier Pill, the axe captain opened the way, and after the sword captain was broken, everyone else was guarding Liu Hongyu's side, and the group so resolutely plunged into the swamp of death!

Not long after Liu Hongyu and the others entered the Death Swamp, a mysterious figure suddenly flashed out from behind the tree on the side of the road, raised his hand and threw a barrier pill into his mouth, and then turned into a ghost-like streamer and ran towards the direction where Liu Hongyu and the others left......

As soon as Liu Hongyu and the others entered, the ground was already very soft and muddy, and as they continued to go deeper, this situation became more and more intense, and later, everyone had to slow down and use the branches to explore the way and move forward slowly little by little......
