As they approached the Thunderous Swamp, the grass grew thicker. Then came stretches of dense shrubbery, which took on various grim shapes under the moonlight.
The moisture content of the soil increased, and the ground became soggy.
The wheels skidded, and the vehicle slowed down until, ultimately, the farm trike got stuck in a puddle.
Yan Xing stopped the vehicle and jumped out of the cab, only to see its tires caked with mud.
Eddie approached from the front and said to Yan Xing, "Milord, just ahead is the Red Mud Wetland. Your vehicle's wheels are too caked with mud; it can't move."
At that moment, Duan'er clambered out of the cab as well.
He looked at the stars and the surrounding environment, then said to Yan Xing, "Right, just ahead is the Red Mud Wetland. There's a lot of silt and puddles in the swamp. We'd better proceed on foot."
