We traveled nearly 100 kilometers along the edge of the Piatila Mountains through the edge of the Wild Marshes, where some of the lizard-man tribes had been reduced to rubble, and most of them had migrated to the depths of the savage swamps.We passed by the ruins of a lizard tribe and found that many of the lizards in this tribe like to build thatched huts under palm trees, which are made of a kind of dried lemongrass roof, so the whole thatched hut exudes a faint smell of vanilla, which not only has a calming effect, but also can repel some poisonous insects in the jungle.There are few living lizardmen in the area on the edge of the swamp, because in the eyes of the lizard warriors, when some small tribes are destroyed, the most they can get is these lizard captives, and if the war between the lizard tribes is completely lost on one side, those lizard captives will become enslaved in the winning tribe.There are many threats in the Wild Swamp, and if you don't pay attention, you can die here.For example, the wanderers in the lizard tribe, their bodies themselves show pale green stripes, these wanderers are hidden in the jungle and difficult to find, they hunt in the swamp with their superb archery skills, whether it is the monsters in the savage swamp, or the adventure group of the Grimm Empire, they are the targets in their eyes.There are also some demonic beasts that have survived in this kind of poor mountains and evil waters, and there is also a great threat to our kind of adventure group, just in the Piatilla Mountains on the edge of the wild swamp, we have encountered a poisonous wind snake with the strength of the early stage of the third order, and it is said that there are more middle-level demonic beasts hidden in the depths of the swamp.As a guide who often lives in the wild swamp, Nathaniel has hundreds of treacherous areas in his heart, in addition to some large tribes of lizards, there are also some territory of group monsters, these monsters are often extremely difficult to deal with, and the magic materials on their bodies have no practical value, groups of low-level monsters occupy a large area of land on the edge of the wild swamp, and few adventure groups are willing to provoke these group monsters.In addition, the wild swamp is full of dangerous places, and if you stray, it will be life-threatening.Without an experienced guide in the party, trespassing into the Wild Swamp is extremely dangerous.A group of lizard-man wanderers passed through the bushes a hundred meters away, their turquoise skin with light markings, but a simple leather skirt around their waists, a short hunting bow on their backs, and a cold glow in their golden pupils.More than 100 orc warriors hid in the mud behind the barren grass, quietly waiting for this group of lizard warriors to pass in front of them, this group of lizard warriors did not find the orc warriors lurking in the grass, and the two sides passed by dangerously.It was only when the group of lizardmen slowly disappeared into the dense forest that the minotaur Ruka got up from the muddy water, sat down in a dry place in the barren meadow, and pulled out a dagger and ripped off a blood-sucking leech attached to his chest.Justus poked his head out from Ruka the Minotaur, squinting in the direction of the lizardman wanderer's vanishing, and pursed his lips.It was as if the slaughter of the slave trader three days earlier had caused some subtle changes in his heart, and the Kraken's nature was like a sprout growing in his heart, and he looked at the enemy with eyes that always seemed to be thirsting for the taste of blood.Walking through the wild swamp, the rainforest scenery does not actually bring us any novelty, we can still be curious about this rainforest swamp in the first week, but now we have long been used to opening our eyes to see the dense tropical plants, reaching out to touch the huge plantain leaves, the same rainforest scenery here makes me feel a little boring.Although he has the anthelmintic ointment provided by the natives of Hierro, there are still some insects flying around in front of him every day, the bullhead is full of blood, and some flying insects like to fly around him, his shaking head is constantly driving away mosquitoes, and his face shows a trace of impetuousness.The swamp is like a huge quagmire, we often walk and walk and our bodies are completely swallowed up by the mud, sometimes the whole leg will step into the rotten mud, or be tightly entangled by the rhizomes of some plants, many plants here have the instinct to catch, and when they get entangled in things, those rhizomes will pull and drag them desperately into the dirt.Thankfully, we didn't have any logistical problems, and instead of hunting wild animals in the swamp and rainforest every day to improve our food, we were able to eat white bread, vegetable soup, and steak almost every day.Occasionally, Ying Li and Su would sit on the shoulders of the Minotaur Ruka, who were already very weak in their bodies, and sometimes when they were tired of walking, the kind Minotaur would hold them up on their broad shoulders and let them rest.Our team followed the path Molaya had walked for another three days into the depths of the Savage Swamp."
Alright, let's take a break."
I shouted.The orcs sat down one after another without any image, sweating even in the shade in such a hot weather, not to mention walking through the dense swamp in hard leather armor, the orcs untied the water bladders around their waists, gulped down the cold water, and poured the rest of the water on their heads.Every time he rested, Ying Li would take out a water gathering spell board and hang it on the trunk of a tree, and under the operation of the magic pattern array, the clear and sweet water would fall into the water collector, and when these orcs had rested enough, they would line up in front of the water gathering spell board and refill their water bladders.I pulled out a dozen round green-skinned watermelons from my magic belt bag and divided them under Nathaniel's stunned gaze.Nathaniel held a piece of sand watermelon in both hands, and couldn't help but ask me, "Lord Jijia, when you are training in the wild, do you still need to store some fruits in the magic space?"
”I touched my nose and faced Nathaniel, who had a look of adoration on his face, so I had to bite the bullet and say, "Uh!
When there's plenty of space in the magic package, I like to take a little bit of everything with me. ”Nathaniel had a forced smile on his face, as if he were looking at an arrogant and lascivious nobleman, and I thought he must have thought that I had filled my precious magical waist with useless vegetables, fruits, and meat, and that it was purely tyrannical.I couldn't explain to him that I actually had a half-plane, so I could just pat him on the shoulder and say, "You can come to me if you need anything, and I'm very well prepared for this adventure." ”I'm kind enough to say to Nathaniel, after all, we still need him to lead us to the ancient ruins hidden in the wild swamps.After walking into the rainforest for so many days, I finally knew why Moraya rushed to Qiyan City in advance, in fact, she came to invite Nathaniel, although Molaya had seen that ancient ruin in the rainforest, but it was absolutely impossible for Moraya to find that small ancient ruin in such a large wild swamp.Nathaniel's skin was dark, probably the complexion formed by exposure to the scorching sun, his nose was a little collapsed, his forehead was very full, his eyes were very bright, and his height was only less than one hundred and seventy centimeters, the southerners of the Grimm Empire were almost like this, compared to the tall and tall northerners, he was a little shorter, but he was better than his brain, he was like a living map in a wild swamp, and many things were memorized in his mind.He was more afraid of Karantso, for this orc warrior who was one hundred and ninety centimeters tall, Nathaniel stood in front of him like a half-grown child, as long as Karantso glanced at him casually, I could feel the muscles in Nathaniel's calves shaking, he was really scared.Occasionally, Nathaniel would focus on Helena's beautiful face, and whenever that happens, he would hide in a corner or behind a tree that was not to be discovered, and open his mouth and eyes shining, which was really obscene.Moraya sat with Miss Heidi, her fierce poison vine around her, burrowing in and out of the dirt, a swamp that was the best place for her to live.Heidi Mentor is covered in black.
Magic robe, even her face is hidden under the hood, although the sun is scorching, but there is always some cold around her body, after she was promoted to the second turn magician, there is no doubt that she has the body of the ice element, and the cold energy emitted from her body probably comes from herself.She seems to have been working on the magical subject of ice fusion lately.I sighed softly, probably because she knew that Sister Guoguo's current body was an ice elemental spirit, and even if she recovered the memory in the soul fragment in the future, the best result would be that Sister Guoguo and the ice elemental spirit would merge and become an ice elemental envoy in the elemental world.Mentor Heidi wants to incarnate the ice element, which is probably related to Sister Guoguo.Anne shook off the mud on her boots, and used her sword to sweep a clump of grass, the flames burning on the sword drove away the mosquitoes that lurked in the grass, and the flames on the sword were not the magic effect of the storm sword itself, but Anne condensed the fire magic element and attached it to the sword.The flames have a good dispelling effect on mosquitoes in the grass, and from time to time some flying insects turn into sparks under Annie's flaming sword.She and Sue sat together, and the sisters always sat furthest away from Miss Heidi, and they barely communicated with Miss Heidi along the way, and it seemed that there was still a big gap between them, and this gap could not be erased by time.The daily task of the guide, Nathaniel, is to climb to the top of a tree or a high hill and use experience to determine whether our team is on the same path as before.At this time, I will also take out the magic image crystal that Morayar gave me and compare the surrounding scenery.Standing on the top of a large banyan tree, Nathaniel looked into the distance, pointing to the jungle of dozens of giant trees that were shrouded in a faint mist fifteen kilometers away, and the scenery in the rain curtain was a little blurry under the faint fog shrouded in the sky.He stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of rain on his face, and said to me: "Jijia, in front of you is the territory of the Muniji tribe, this lizard tribe is at its peak, there are probably tens of thousands of lizards living in the tribe, it is the largest lizard tribe in this area, their tribal chieftain is hostile to humans, we need to bypass the edge of their territory, their lizard people have a large range of activities, we have to be careful." ”I nodded, looking at the large Optimus Tree in the distance, and I really wanted to see this large tribe of lizards.Descending from the top of the tree, I came to the side of Ruka the Minotaur.At this time, I saw that there were more than a dozen lizard war slaves gathered in front of the minotaur Ruka, and these lizardmen were just sitting cross-legged in the swamp with sheets of linen around their waists.They have large skeletons, muscles of explosive power, and they have straight golden eyes with emotionless eyes."
Didn't all those lizardmen let them go?"
I took Rukala aside and asked, "Why hasn't it been dealt with yet?"
”Ruka said with an embarrassed face: "Except for some who don't want to go, the others have long been let go." ”I was surprised to hear Ruka say that some of the lizard slaves were reluctant to leave or regain their freedom."
Ruka, what's going on with those lizardmen who don't want to go?"
I then asked Justes.Justus walked up to Ruka and said to me, "There is a part of the lizard slaves who don't want to leave, they think that since we killed the brothers Yutath and Angus, then they are our property" I looked at Ruka and Justus with some suspicion and asked them, "How can this be?"
You didn't untie the slave collar around their necks?
”Justes reluctantly stretched out his hands and explained to me: "When those lizard slaves heard that I was going to help them untie their slave collars, they huddled together and shivered as if they had a premonition that the end of the world was coming. ”Ruka the Minotaur asked me, "Shall we take this group of lizard warriors with us?"
Jijia!
”I looked down and thought for a moment before I said, "I want to try, maybe they will help us in the jungle." ”When Justus heard me say this, he immediately retorted, "Maybe they will bring in some lizard warriors and cause us trouble inside and out, and it seems to me that these lizard slaves are of little use to us, so it is better to kill them all, and then things will be much easier." ”"Let's stay first, maybe we'll still need them, and we can't send a few orc warriors to watch them."
I said to Justes.Hearing that I had decided, Justes didn't say anything more.After resting in the swamp for a short while, our group walked around the Muniji tribe in front of us and walked through the area on the edge of the lizard-man tribe's territory.At dusk, we finally stepped out of the territory of the Muniji tribe.Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sky, and saw that there was still some time before it was dark, and led us on.Just as we passed through a dense forest, we heard the sound of battle in the dense forest
