170. Ancient ruins


A warm wind blew through the spotted orchid grass, and the dew on the blades of the grass rolled down and smashed on the head of a swamp poison frog with a black and green striped class committee.Taking this opportunity, a gray-haired otter lurking among the spotted orchid grass quickly rushed out, wanting to escape under the duckweed in the swamp pool, but he didn't expect that the swamp poison frog was not affected by the falling water droplets at all, and the big round eyes in the transparent eyelids quickly caught the gray-haired otter that wanted to break through, it opened its big mouth, and its tongue like a powerful rubber band stretched out like lightning and shot towards the gray-haired otter a meter away.The otter weighed at least eight or nine pounds, and was easily restrained by the tongue of the swamp poison frog, and an invisible force pulled it and quickly threw it into the mouth of the swamp poison frog, whose large mouth grew like a deep well with a black hole, and in an instant the gray-haired otter was caught in it.Plop.The swamp poison leaps into the pool, leaving a shallow line of water in the quiet pool.Looking beyond this swamp, thousands of lizard warriors lurked in a palm forest in front of them, and their sturdy figures shuttled freely through the dense forest, unaffected by the darkness of the night, mainly due to the night vision of the lizard warriors.Kalantso, Justus, and Catalina and I crouched in a pond in the swamp about three hundred meters away from the group of lizard warriors, secretly observing the movements of the group of lizard warriors from a distance.During the day, Deborah was scouting in the air and accidentally spotted this group of lizard warriors lurking in the woodland, so we would sneak up on this lizard warband at night to see where their target was, and I thought that this group of lizardmen seemed to be secretly approaching the Guzahr tribe.A finger-thin snake swam past me, and Caterina drew her dagger and gently swiped it in the water, the tip of the dagger cut open the snake's fragile abdomen, and the water snake rolled violently in the pool, quickly sinking to the bottom.I turned my head to look at Katerina, her eyes a dark red hue in the night.A five-man patrol of lizardmen came from the dense forest to the swamp pond, and a few of us took a deep breath and quietly sank to the bottom of the water, just under the duckweed in the pond, quietly away from the lizardmen.The swamp poison frog, which had just swallowed a grey-haired otter on the shore, had been pierced through its head by a bone spur, its skull had been cut open with a sharp weapon, and the core inside had been removed by Justus, leaving only its body covered in toxins lying at the bottom of the pool.We quickly swam past the frog until we reached the other side of the swampy pond before we crawled out of the pool wet."

Those lizard warriors aren't searching for us, they should just be passing by," Justes said to me as he climbed ashore, flicking his wet hair, and crouched down on the shore.I crawled out of the pool with my hands and feet, ignoring the wet leather armor on my body, and asked him, "Where do you think they want to go?"

”Justus smiled and said, "In this direction, there is only one possibility of the Guzahr tribe. ”I pulled off my boots and poured out the water inside, or else I would have to walk in my water-filled boots.I said to Karantso, "Let Deborah inform Inzaghi of the Guzahel tribe, he is still very good to us anyway, and I don't want to wait for us to come back and there is another tribe of lizards stationed at the Elamokus Pass, maybe the tribe of the lizards will not be so friendly to us." ”Karantso agreed very dryly, "Okay, I'll go and wake up Deborah." ”Our camp was nearly five kilometers away from the wooded area where the lizardmen were hiding, and if Deborah hadn't stumbled upon the lizard warriors sleeping in the canopy during the day, we would have passed them by.Not long after returning to the camp, Deborah flew to the Guzahr tribe at night with a letter written by Nathaniel in the lizard language.However, I doubt that Nathaniel's letter can be read by the lizard nobleman Inzaghi, because the lizard characters on it are too sloppy.Hopefully, the lizards of the Guzahr tribe will be able to defeat those enemies, and after they get out of the Elamokus Mountains, we have gone deep into the heart of the northern region of the Savage Swamp, and Nathaniel told us that this is the approximate location where the ancient ruins were found, and the situation was urgent, and after such a long time, we did not remember the exact location, so we still need to search slowly.In this vast rainforest, the lizards coexist with many mid-level demonic beasts, and these lizard-people tribes are only a few limited areas of the entire swamp.We avoided unnecessary conflict with the lizard-man tribes, so we quietly bypassed the territory of these lizard-people tribes and searched the swampy rainforest for the ancient ruins.We were worried that Deborah would provoke the wyverns in the depths of the rainforest when she scouted in the sky, so we would strictly limit the time Deborah spent scouting in the air.Although he didn't provoke the Wyverns, he encountered a dragonfly nest in the woods of a Wangtian tree.Dragonflies are a kind of flying monsters unique to the wild swamp, they like to live in groups on tall trees, those 100-meter-high sky-looking trees are their favorite habitat, adult dragonflies can generally defeat the middle of the third order or above, this flying monster has up to three pairs of transparent wings, the size is about the size of a large owl, the flight speed is extremely fast, coming and going like the wind.The tail of the dragon fly can shoot a sharp stinger, this poisonous needle has a strong toxin, if there is no antidote to the symptoms, even the strong physique of the second turn can not carry the stinger of the dragon fly, this stinger is one of the most favorite poison arrow arrows of the lizard warriors.Deborah rashly broke into a forest looking at the sky, and provoked a group of dragon flies, fortunately, she was more clever at the time, and she had a premonition that something was not going well, so she decisively activated the magic pattern on her body, so she barely escaped from the pursuit of the dragon flies, and when she escaped back to the temporary camp, she was also frightened and pale.The dragonflies were flying so fast that both Katerina and Karantso were unable to keep them.The magic materials on the third-order magical beasts of the dragon fly are each of the most valuable in the imperial capital, the transparent wings are the main materials for the wind magicians to make magic flying carpets, the compound eyes of the dragon flies can be used to make sentry guards for alchemists, and the tail needle is one of the poisoned arrows that many demons like to carry around.There has been little progress in searching for the ancient ruins, but since you have seen the dragonfly nest, of course it is impossible to let it go.For this reason, I specially returned to the imperial capital, ran to the magic shop to buy twenty sticky webs woven from demonic spider silk, and Caterina carried it quietly into the sky-looking forest where the dragonflies lived, and laid out layers of sticky nets in the woods, and only after all this was ready, did Deborah fly into the sky-watching forest to lure out the nest of dragonflies.The sticky web made of demonic spider silk is the most restrained by this group of dragonflies known for their speed, and the three dragon flies that rushed to the front crashed into the demonic spider silk sticky web, and were shot through the body by the barbarian slaves hiding under the tree with giant crossbow arrows, almost completely without showing the horror of the third-order demonic beasts, they turned into corpses one after another, and the remaining four dragonflies flew into the sky when they saw that the situation was not good, and after escaping from the Wangtian forest, they fled decisively.The dragonfly's nest is full of all kinds of demonic beast bones, and there are still large and small demon cores in Bai Sensen's bones, and it can be seen that the recipes of these dragonflies are quite extensive, and there are few demonic beasts in the swamp that they dare not eat.Turning out Morayal's magic image crystal, the image inside the magic crystal has been seen countless times: the ancient ruins are hidden in the dense forest, and suddenly a large group of flying dragons flew out of the ruins, and Moraya's adventure group decisively escaped from Nathaniel Standing at the top of the tree, carefully identifying the surrounding forest area, this is the most done by the guide Nathaniel in the past half a month.Despite this, the search was still a clue, and there was not even a shadow of the mysterious ancient ruins.We looked for forest area after forest area, and the wild swamp was not good at all, many of the wooded areas and swamps looked similar, and there were very few giant trees that could be used as references.Although the ancient ruins could not be found, they plowed the demonic beasts living in the wild swamp fiercely, whether it was valuable or not, as long as those barbarian slaves felt that they could eat it, they would start hunting operations.When they were in the Hiero plane, these barbarian slaves didn't dare to face the fourth-level demonic beasts head-on, since they possessed the Nakma demonic pattern construction armor, they actually put on a fearless posture in the wild swamp, and they even surrounded nearly two thousand white rock rhinos in a large canyon in the rainforest.These adult white rock rhinos all belonged to the third-order demonic beasts, but they were driven into a canyon by barbarian slaves with heavy crossbows, and the barbarian slaves guarded the mouth of the canyon, and forced back dozens of charges of the white rock rhino with giant crossbow arrows, and then it took two days to kill all of these white rock rhinos.White Rock Rhino Leather is a very valuable high-grade leather, especially suitable for making the magic pattern structure of hard leather armor, this kind of magic leather is very popular in the emperor.Except that there are still no clues to the ancient ruins, this time I went to the wild swamp and gained a lot.Although we tried to avoid the lizard-people tribe in the jungle, it was the living area of the lizard-people tribe, and sometimes it was inevitable to avoid them, but the lizardmen, seeing the large number of warriors on our side, stayed far behind our team, followed us for a distance, and saw that we had no intention of fighting their tribe, so they let us run around in the rainforest at will.Just when we had found nothing in the wild rainforest, Inzaghi, the lizard-man nobleman of the Guzahr tribe, found me in the jungle.He came to us for only one thing this time, and that was to thank us on behalf of the Grand Elder of the Guzahel tribe.Although without our news, the Guzahr tribe may not be defeated, but the situation may become more passive, or recall a greater cost to win, now the swamp civil war has not stopped, the war has also affected these lizard tribes between Mount Eramokus and Mount Piatilla, because the Guzahel tribe has not publicly supported a certain prince of the lizard royal clan for the time being, so this time the Calicut tribe will force the Guzahr tribe to show their attitude.So this time the lizard-man nobles came to us with a team of land-traveling monitor lizards, and the slow-moving land-traveling monitor lizards were driven by the lizard-man tamers to run through the swamp at a speed not much slower than the Gubolai horses.It's just that we haven't mastered how to control the terrestrial monitor lizards before, and they walk as slowly as a turtle.The lizard-man nobleman Inzaghi sat on the raised roots, unable to hide his curiosity, and asked me with a very sincere face, "What are you looking for in the Savage Swamp?"

”After all, the lizardfolk are the true masters of this wild swamp.Nathaniel, as a translator, was a bit incompetent, and he finally understood Inzaghi's words even after guessing and analogy.Then Inzaghi added, "Maybe I can help you." ”Even if Nathaniel doesn't translate this sentence, I can roughly guess the meaning of his sentence from the expression on the face of the lizard nobleman Inzaghi."

We're looking for an ancient relic near here."

After a moment's hesitation, I explained the purpose of our trip.The lizard-man nobleman's mouth was wide open and he asked me, "Are you looking for ruins?"

”Sure enough, the lizards knew the specific location of the ancient ruins, and I hurriedly said, "The ancient ruins should be a ruin, do you know that place?"

”"Of course, it's the most famous dragon house we have here, and every lizard warrior who wants to be promoted to dragon rider has to go there to catch an adult wyvern as a mount, and only then can he be recognized by all the lizardmen."

The lizard nobleman Inzaghi explained to me with a gesture on his face.I guess the lizard nobleman Inzaghi might have given me some clues, but I didn't expect him to know about that place."

Ah, where is your dragon place?"

I asked him.Inzaghi nodded, with a wry smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "There is a large group of wyverns living there, in fact, since those wyvern groups have grown to thirty-five, our tribe has not had dragon riders for many years, they always appear in groups. ”"Can you take us there?"

I asked Inzaghi the lizardman, "Of course, if you want to go. ”The lizard nobleman readily agreed, and then said to me, "It's just that if you want dragons, can you leave a few left, at least let them continue to breed here?"

”I patted the lizard nobleman Inzaghi on the shoulder and said to him.Since the lizard nobles agreed to my request, I didn't delay any longer, even if those barbarian slaves were catching an adult two-headed water snake lizard in the swamp not far away, and I forcibly summoned it back, I couldn't wait for a moment, and I wanted to get to the dragon field in the lizard's mouth as soon as possible
