Three hundred and fourteen. The corpse in the wooden house

The back of the shoe was almost swallowed by the silt, and despite wearing rain boots, a soft, flesh-like sensation could be felt.

Lu Li crouched down, holding an oil lamp towards the dark red mud.

The mud hadn't reverted to its original state, shaped as though someone had fallen there. Footprints extending towards the Withered Jungle confirmed this.

"Someone entered Shadow Swamp through a hidden passage before."

Raising the oil lamp, Lu Li carefully inspected the area.

Beyond the traces in the mud, no clues were left in front of the hidden passage's exit.

"Was it my brother!" Jojo asked impulsively.

Lu Li turned to the Mother of the Marsh sculpture in his pocket, "Where is Oliver?"

[I do not know him...many humans have entered the swamp...]

Lu Li looked up at Jojo, "Do you remember what Oliver was wearing when he disappeared?"

"Linen cargo pants and a blue linen shirt!"

Lu Li added more details, "Under five foot three, with brown hair, a young man."
