Even for adventurers, the Wild Marsh of Ancient Woods was the most dangerous place on the whole continent.
Here, there were many scary beasts and monsters, as well as countless snakes and poisonous insects. In addition, the natural environment here was truly terrible. Solid, dry ground was a rare sight. Small puddles covered with duckweed or algae were everywhere, and making your way through them was virtually impossible. Even an advanced adventurer like Ray was not sure what he would step into, a comparatively solid yet muddy patch of ground, or a deep mud pit.
Moreover, the swampy air was very humid. Shrubs and vines grew everywhere, as well as numerous drooping tree branches that intertwined with each other. When Ray was walking, he had to cut down these branches with his ax to clear a path.
Often times, the unpleasant surprise of snakes or beasts waited behind these branches. More than once, when Ray cut off a branch, a viper slithered out, ready to attack.
