Chapter 40: Shock! It’s the Terrifying Miasma Mother

Not knowing how deep the cliff was or how long it would take to descend to the bottom, everyone simply sat down at the edge of the cliff and waited.

It was not until Shen Qingge yawned that a faint sound came from the bottom of the cliff.

Everyone rushed forward, listening attentively, afraid to miss any sound. The voice was intermittent and vague, as if it was constantly shouting: "The bottom of the cliff... is very safe..., there is... water... below..., everyone... come down quickly..."

These words were repeated several times.

When Zhao Ping finally heard clearly, he turned around and glared at Shen Qingge fiercely, not disguising the malice and mockery in his eyes. He said sarcastically, "Oh, Miss Shen, it's really unfortunate that I can't make you happy! Look, there's actually a water source at the bottom of this cliff!"

Faced with Zhao Ping's sarcastic look, Shen Qingge simply turned his gaze away coldly and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

Liu Lin, standing by, couldn't stand his arrogant and domineering appearance and couldn't help but speak out in support: "How can you, a man of seven feet tall, speak so harshly and harshly?"

At this moment, the official Ma Si, who was not far away, shouted loudly: "Don't waste time, move quickly and go down to find out what's going on!"

Hearing the order, everyone did not dare to neglect it and quickened their pace to walk towards the bottom of the cliff. Zhao Ping snorted coldly, glared at Shen Qingge and the others several times, and walked away triumphantly.

Seeing the others walking away, Shen Qingge reached out and grabbed Liu Lin beside him, deliberately lowering his voice and solemnly admonishing him:

"Uncle Liu, trust my instincts. This forest has a strange aura! When we reach the bottom of the cliff, you must stay close behind me. Don't touch or fumble with anything around you, and don't take off your face mask!"

Liu Lin nodded solemnly and saluted Shen Qingge to express his gratitude. Then, the two of them quickened their pace and caught up with the team.

Several people slowly descended along the hemp rope that had been fixed earlier.

The officers descended the fastest, with Shen Qingge and Liu Lin at the very end of the rope.

When the rope was halfway down, the thick fog dissipated slightly, and the white area at the bottom of the cliff could be vaguely seen. The strange fragrance became stronger and stronger, and you could smell it even with a face mask on.

Shen Qingge also felt her body slowly changing. That strange yet familiar feeling of restlessness reappeared! Her heart pounded wildly, and her fingertips went numb. This made her realize that there must be some creature at the bottom of the cliff, but she was unsure if she could control it. Therefore, caution was the best course of action!

Soon, everyone reached the bottom of the cliff safely. Everyone excitedly untied the ropes and ran forward.

Shen Qingge looked around, and everywhere she looked was a pool of water, stretching as far as the eye could see. Under her feet, unlike the rocks in the forest, there was fine gravel. Around the beach, not a single blade of grass grew.

There was no wind at the bottom of the cliff, it was terrifyingly quiet!

Meanwhile, Wu Sheng, who had reached the bottom of the cliff first, along with two officers, took off their outer clothes and dove into the pool. They played and joked, wanting to take a good bath in the pool. They swam farther and farther, heading directly towards the center of the pool.

Ma Si was too lazy to care about them and ordered the other officers to quickly fill all the water bags with water.

"Fourth brother, it's still early, why don't you join the brothers in cooling off in the water?"

Ma Si paused, shook his head, and looked at Shen Qingge's alert expression. He felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. "Don't waste time, fill the water bag with water first. Our mission in the next few days is to bring water back. Don't delay too much!"

Liu Lin saw that everyone was busy getting water, so he wanted to go forward with a water bag in his hand.

But he did not forget what Shen Qingge had told him before. He looked at Shen Qingge inquiringly, expecting her response.

Shen Qingge made a gesture of resignation and walked cautiously towards the shore. The closer he got to the shore, the stronger the feeling of blood rushing in his veins became.

She suddenly remembered what her mother had told her as a child: miasma is foul air in the mountains and forests, formed by the decaying bodies of plants and animals. Not only corpses, but also the venom of various poisonous insects can accumulate in low-lying areas and form toxic gases. Furthermore, the smell of miasma depends on the type of decay; not all miasma is unbearably foul. Moreover, encountering the "Mother of Miasma" will result in certain death!

That is to say, miasma may actually be fragrant.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge suddenly had a bad premonition. She stepped back repeatedly, then turned around and ran towards the edge of the cliff.

Before I took two steps, I heard someone behind me shout, "Look, it's beautiful!"

"Yeah, it really looks like fairies scattering flowers!"

Shen Qingge turned around quickly and looked towards the pond.

She saw a number of golden spheres with blurry outlines hanging in the air near the center of the pool. These golden spheres were of different sizes and were far away, so she could not see them clearly.

Suddenly, a ball fell from the air, suddenly burst, and gradually scattered. In an instant, the sky was filled with brilliant colors, like a rainbow or clouds, covering the sky.

"Oh no, it's the miasma mother, Uncle Liu, run!"

Liu Lin didn't react for a moment, frozen in place. A moment later, he awoke as if from a dream, and broke into a run. However, time was not forgiving, and he was older after all. As he ran, he stumbled and tripped over a rock in front of him.

Fortunately, Shen Qingge was quick-witted. In a flash, she grabbed Liu Lin by the collar and dashed towards the cliff. The officer standing nearby felt a cool breeze brush against his neck. Shen Qingge, who had been so close just a moment ago, had reached the cliff edge like an arrow from a bowstring in the blink of an eye.

Ma Si, who had been sitting on a rock not far from the edge of the cliff and resting, heard Shen Qingge's call. Without thinking, he put on the oil and ran away, no longer caring about the lives of his other brothers.

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream rang out before everyone, and then a figure sank into the pool. The other two figures swam towards the shore with all their might!

The remaining few people on the shore were confused and stood there in a daze, until the two men swam ashore and they realized what was going on.

The two officers who came ashore were Wu Yong and Jia Da. Their bodies looked as if they had been burned by flames, with large blisters all over their bodies. Where the blisters had burst, their skin was torn and flesh was exposed, and blood was dripping...

Then, something even more terrifying happened. Their bodies began to dissolve continuously, and after a moment, they turned into a pool of black blood!

Everyone then ran towards the cliff in panic like frightened birds, and the yellow ball also floated towards the shore at a very fast speed.

At this time, Shen Qingge and Liu Lin were not far from the top of the cliff, and Ma Si behind them had also climbed halfway up the mountain.

The remaining three people ran desperately like wild horses, but it was too late. One of them turned into a pool of shocking blood with screams.
