Nick and his team carefully navigated around the hills and traveled further to the east.
From time to time, Nick ordered them to assume the defensive formation.
Nick was still certain that nobody was following them.
A bit later, the team found a crater that was about a kilometer wide.
At the bottom of the crater was something that looked completely different from the dry world around it.
It was a purple swamp.
The purple and viscous liquid of the swamp slowly and lethargically bubbled, releasing small black clouds.
Some decaying grass and ferns could be seen on top of the swamp, partially covering it.
As the group stood on the edge of the crater, their Barriers flickered from time to time.
The gas that was released by the swamp was poisonous and would quickly kill normal people.
This was the Swallowing Swamp, a Specter.
