The Hero Turned Into A Potato And The World Fell To Ruin Chapter 54: Relying on Outdated Info from a Reclusive Old Man

Liu Ji felt that it was strange. The little potatoes, who usually chirped away whenever they emerged from the ground, had been eerily quiet ever since the mud splattered on them.

Could there be something wrong with this swamp? Liu Ji suddenly had a sense of worry.

But… Apart from the abundance of mosquitoes, nothing seemed out of the ordinary on their journey so far.

Roughly 10 minutes later, the group crossed the ruins of the long stone bridge and reached the first safe spot in the swamp.

"If only Nox was here. His summoned beasts are perfect for this," Girunini muttered.
