Arthur's trip to the Forsaken Swamp has been going smoothly since the old monster Anthony joined.

Anthony is very familiar with the environment on the outskirts of the swamp, and is able to avoid some dangerous places and the territory of fierce monsters in advance.

Along the way, Anthony will stop from time to time to collect some strange plants or hunt some specific magical beasts.

Anthony is familiar with this place because he has spent most of his life in the swamp, extracting toxins from various creatures in the swamp and researching new poisons.

He returned to the Forsaken Swamp this time to reconfigure the poison collection materials, and Anthony, blessed with the strange poison, was the old monster that the church feared. And it was precisely because of this that the Church had the Holy Maiden of Fire lead a team to ambush and capture Anthony on the outskirts of the Forsaken Swamp.

Anthony took Aretha and Arthur around the edge of the swamp for a full day before leading them to a muddy place filled with miasma, rotting corpses, and a foul stench.

Anthony took out a few palm-sized cyan leaves and handed one to Arthur and Aretha each, "Cover your nose and breathe with it, so you won't be affected by the poisonous miasma." ”

There was a faint smell of grass in the leaves, and Arthur's spirit was immediately lifted. The so-called one thing descends one thing, and some special plants in the swamp themselves have a detoxifying or inhibiting effect on the miasma, but few people know about it.

Anthony led the way towards the muddy swamp, where the black swamp was covered with dry bones and rotting corpses, and occasionally bursting into huge mud bubbles.

If you are an ordinary martial artist, you will have no way to survive if you step on it. Only when you reach the battle school or above, you can walk on the swamp with your feet wrapped in fighting energy. This is one of the important reasons why Aretha let Arthur be promoted to the war school before coming here.

Another mud bubble suddenly burst under his feet, and as the mud bubble burst, a huge head full of tiny teeth in its mouthparts emerged from the mire.

Anthony had been prepared for this, and the head was only halfway out of the mire, and he struck it with a sword, and the whole head was blown out with a single sword.

At the same time, mud bubbles burst one after another on both sides and behind the three of them, and one after another demonic beasts scrambled out of the mire.

The elven sword in Anthony's hand swung continuously, and one after another condensed sword qi shot out towards the outcropping location. Aretha also shot at the same time, the whip shadow waved, and within the coverage of the long whip, a burst of air sounded one after another, and often the demonic beast was directly shot in the head as soon as it appeared.

Aretha's attack was so explosive that some of the monsters were not only skulls shattered, but also their bodies blown out of the mire, which were giant black worms with wrinkles on their bodies.

Arthur happened to know these black giant worms, they were called the Black Swamp Worms, and he had seen them in the Dream Forest of the Elven Realm, and they were used as an ambush by the "Divine Curse" behind the dark elves. Thinking of "Divine Punishment" Arthur inexplicably had a very bad feeling.

Although these black swamp worms are difficult to deal with, they are still too weak for strong generals like Anthony and Aretha, and when Arthur was stunned, he cleaned up all the black swamp worms that outcropped.

The few people continued to move forward, and they didn't go far before they found a place where rotting corpses were piled up, and the foul smell could barely stop even the green leaves covering their noses. But in this stinking place, on the pile of rotting corpses, there are pink flowers, round flowers the size of human heads, petals and stamens gathered together and swaying in the wind, really like the head of a beautiful woman.

Anthony gestured with his hand, "Those are zombie flowers." ”

"Such a filthy place can grow such beautiful flowers!" Arthur couldn't help but sigh.

Anthony sighed softly, "A lot of the beauty in the world is rooted in sin!" Just like these zombie flowers, the Black Swamp worms will drag some of their prey over as nourishment for these flowers, making their flowers more delicate and larger, and then waiting to eat their fallen petals to enhance their own toxicity. ”

"Using each other, they're just trying to survive. ”

"You can jump out of good and evil?" such a strange point of view made the old monster look at Arthur sideways.

"It's like the generational war between us and the orcs, although cruel, it can't be said who is right and who is wrong, all for the sake of more survival resources. ”

"You don't have to pay attention to him, our mercenaries have always thought differently from ordinary people. How are you going to pick these zombie flowers in front of you?" Aretha interrupted the discussion between the two about good and evil.

"The surface of these petals is highly poisonous, and the skin will become completely rigid when touched at the slightest touch, and it must not be picked by hand. ”

"So how do you pick it?"

"Please also ask the girl to cooperate with me, I will use the sword qi to cut off the flowers, and the girl will wrap the fighting qi with a long whip and roll it back before the flowers hit the ground, and put them directly into the closed box. ”

The two strong generals joined forces, concocted the same method, and easily picked three zombie flowers. Although there were still a lot of zombie flowers left, several people did not continue to pick them or destroyed them all. Like Arthur's thinking, although these flowers are highly poisonous, they are also for survival, and survival is the truth.

Putting away the zombie flowers, Aretha and Arthur thanked Anthony in unison.

"I owe Arthur two lives, and it's just a trivial matter in comparison. Now that the mission has been completed, the two of you better get out of here as soon as possible, abandoning the swamp is not a good place. ”

Aretha and Arthur looked at each other and smiled, and then Aretha said: "Thanks to the kindness of the old-timers, we are only looking for zombie flowers by the way, and the real purpose is the depths of the swamp." ”

"What are you doing there, not only are there lord-level demonic beasts entrenched in the depths of the swamp, but there are even sleeping ancient beasts, and it is also a place of life and death for the strong warriors!" Anthony said in surprise.

"I was asked to find Hygil. ”

"Poison Dragon Haijil!That's a madman, do you know her?"

Aretha shook her head, "I'm kind of old friends with her father, the old dragon Wharton. ”

"I advise you to give up here, Hygiel has no reason at all, you will be poisoned before you even have a chance to speak!"

Arthur suddenly interjected next to him, "So you know Hygiel and know where she lives?"

"I don't know her, but I've seen the poisonous dragon twice in all the years I've been abandoning the swamp. One time was when she tortured and killed all the hunting teams led by two generals and warriors, and the other time was when she happened to be hunting, and all the living creatures within a radius of several miles were poisoned by her poisonous dragon breath. I was only a little closer to being affected, and I lay down for a month to recover. ”

"It's so horrible!" Arthur was shocked.

"Are you still going to look for her?"

Aretha smiled bitterly, "Our rangers and mercenaries have the heaviest promise, since they promised others, they have to try it, if they don't even dare to enter the depths of the swamp, they can't explain to the old dragon when they go back." ”

Anthony turned his gaze to Arthur again, "Are you going too?

Arthur smiled, "Such an exciting place, you have to see it to be in vain." ”

Anthony gritted his teeth, "Who made me owe you two lives?

Arthur's face was already smiling, and Anthony reacted exactly as he expected.
