After coming out of the Space Farm, Merlyn was very excited. She could not be blamed. Seeing Zhao Hai’s magical space, she really felt that the future of the Buda family was filled with hope.

Although Zhao Hai could not learn magic and battle aura yet, to Merlyn, it would be better if Zhao Hai could not learn them. That way, Zhao Hai would be safer.

Merlyn did not want Zhao Hai to follow the previous path of the Buda family. The Buda family relied on military merits to rise in status. If they wanted to obtain military merits, they had to fight in wars, and war was very dangerous. Now that the Buda family only had one heir, Zhao Hai, Merlyn did not want anything to happen to him.

Now that they had such a space that could only be used to farm, they did not have to worry about food and water. Moreover, as long as they had money, the Buda family could develop. There were many business families on the Continent that were very prosperous. Even those old nobles did not dare to touch them easily. Because of what? Because of money.

There were too many mercenaries on the continent now, and those mercenaries were all outlaws. As long as they were given money, they would dare to do anything. No one dared to provoke those business families because of their money. If they were angered, they could use money to buy their lives. In the end, they would only lose some money, but their enemies would lose their lives. Who could afford to make such an exchange?

After experiencing the entire process of the Buda family turning from prosperity to decline, Merlyn no longer thought about anything. In her eyes, fame and fortune were nothing. It was more important to let Zhao Hai live well.

Looking at Merlyn, Zhao Hai was very happy because he knew that Merlyn really cared about him. This feeling of being cared for was really good. Zhao Hai was an orphan in his previous life, and no one had ever cared about him so much. This feeling warmed his heart.

After a while, Merlyn calmed down. She walked to Zhao Hai’s side and said, “Young Master, if you encounter any danger in the future, hide in the Space Farm immediately. Don’t worry about us. You’re the only one left in our family. Nothing can happen to you.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Grandma Merlyn. I know what to do, but as long as we are careful and keep a low profile in the future, we should be fine.”

Merlyn nodded and was about to say something when they heard Wood’s voice. “Young Master, Young Master, I found a good place.” As he spoke, he ran down the mountain.

Zhao Hai and Merlyn couldn’t help but turn to look at Wood. Wood quickly ran to Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, I found a good place ahead. It definitely meets your requirements.”

Zhao Hai was stunned. Then, he said happily, “Alright, where is it? Let’s go.”

Wood pointed at the mountain and said, “Young Master, we have to cross the top of the mountain. We can’t cross from here.”

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll go over now. Grandma Merlyn, you can rest here. Wood and I will go over.”

However, Merlyn shook his head and said, “No, I’ll come too. In the future, we can’t always let you lead the way. I have to go over and know the location.” Then, she turned to Wood and said, “Wood, lead the way.” Wood responded and walked forward. The two of them followed.

Although there were only some weeds on this desolate mountain, it was not easy to walk. Although the weeds were not tall, they were very tough. When people walked on them, they would often trip over these weeds, making it difficult to walk.

Fortunately, the location was not far. After walking for about three miles, they saw a huge canyon in front of them. This canyon was very strange. It was like a huge rock had fallen from the sky and smashed into the mountain range. There were cliffs on all sides, and there was no path to the outside world.

Zhao Hai stood there dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This canyon was in line with his request. They could not see this place from the foot of the mountain, but how could they go down?

Merlyn also realized this. She turned to look at Wood and scolded jokingly, “Wood, you stupid boy. It’s difficult for even me to go down there, let alone Young Master. Even if you can carry Young Master down, what about those slaves? Those slaves will be the ones who come here to farm in the future. Don’t tell me you want to carry them down too?”

Zhao Hai also glared at Wood. This canyon did not look deep. It seemed to be only dozens of meters deep, but it was dizzy to look down from above. In addition, it was surrounded by cliffs, so it was very difficult to go down.

If they had a lot of resources, they could build a mountain ladder here. But now, they did not have that many resources at all. Even wood was not produced on this mountain. It was too difficult to make a wooden ladder. This was definitely a deathtrap.

Wood turned to look at the two of them and chuckled. “Young Master, Grandma Merlyn, don’t worry. Come with me.” With that, he walked to the back of the iron mountain.

All along, Zhao Hai, Merlyn, and the others had not walked to the back of the iron mountain because they knew that it was close to the Carrion Swamp. The Carrion Swamp was famous for its poisonous miasma, poisonous magical beasts, poisonous plants, and undead creatures, so no one wanted to go to the back of the mountain to take a look. It represented danger.

Seeing Wood walking behind the mountain, Merlyn’s face darkened. “Wood, don’t you want to live? Come back quickly.”

Wood turned and smiled at the two of them. “It’s okay, Grandma Merlyn, Young Master. Don’t worry. There is a cave over the mountain. We can enter the valley through that cave. I came out from there just now.”

Merlyn wanted to say something, but Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look.” With that, he followed Wood to the back of the iron mountain. Merlyn could only follow.

But once he reached the top, Zhao Hai was attracted by the scene in front of him. Behind the mountain, it seemed to be a scene of chaos. As far as the eye could see, it was all multi-colored fog. You could not see the sky or the ground, as if that was a world formed by the colorful fog.

Beautiful, too beautiful. Zhao Hai had never seen a colorful fog before. Moreover, the fog was bright and dazzling, not dim and dark.

A long sigh interrupted Zhao Hai’s thoughts. Zhao Hai turned around and saw that it was Merlyn. Merlyn was also looking at the seven-colored fog, but she sighed and said, “What a beautiful scene. Who would have thought that such a beautiful scene is the most fatal thing on the continent? This colorful poisonous fog is the greatest barrier in this Carrion Swamp. Since the beginning of history, no more than ten people have come out alive after entering this colorful fog. And they were all top experts on the continent. Even such people could not live for more than five years after coming out of the seven-colored poisonous fog. They could not be saved by even the most powerful priests and apothecaries.”

Zhao Hai felt a chill on his back. Now, when he looked at the fog, he felt that the colors of the fog were so strange, as if there were countless evil spirits smiling at him.

Zhao Hai did not dare to look anymore. He said to Wood, who was waiting for them, “Let’s go.” Wood responded and walked forward.

They were already walking from the top of the mountain to the back. It was strange, the grass on the front of the iron mountain looked malnourished, but the grass on the back of the mountain was dark green and full of vitality. However, they were not growing all over the mountain like the front. Instead, they were growing in some small areas. There was nothing growing in other areas, looking like a bald head with few hair.

Merlyn followed beside Zhao Hai and said to Zhao Hai and Wood, “Young Master, Wood, be careful. Don’t touch those grass. Those grass might be poisonous. Wood is strong and might be fine, but Young Master can’t touch these things because you drank the Void Water.”

Zhao Hai was stunned. Although he felt that Merlyn was making a mountain out of a molehill, he did not dare to let his guard down. The Carrion Swamp was famous for its danger, so it was better to be careful. 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹．𝐨𝐫𝗴

He carefully walked around the grass and followed Wood for about 500 meters before seeing a small cave. This cave was not very big and could only accommodate three people walking side by side. It was only about two meters tall. The cave was dark and there was the sound of water.

Merlyn walked in front of Zhao Hai and a ball of light appeared in her hand, illuminating the path in front of Zhao Hai. Only then did she lead Zhao Hai into the cave.

It could be seen that this cave was also a mine path built by the dwarves. It was also very neat and flat.

After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at an empty space. This space was clearly just a temporary resting place or a place to store things. There were no residential caves here, only an empty space of more than 300 square meters.

Wood turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Young Master, there’s a lake over there. I wonder if it’s connected to the lake on the other side of the mountain. If we walk to the left, we can enter that valley.”

Zhao Hai nodded. He did not go to look at the lake. According to his estimation, the lake here was very likely to be connected to the lake on the other side of the cave. Now that they did not have large lighting tools, they could not see anything even if they looked.

The two of them followed Wood to the left. The tunnel on the left was very wide, enough for ten people to move side by side. It was also five meters tall. The ground was dry, and it was comfortable to walk on.

The three of them walked for about ten minutes when a light suddenly appeared in front of them. Merlyn extinguished the illumination spell and quickly followed Zhao Hai to the light.
