Chapter 160: Enlightenment
Quickly getting rid of those snake lizards, Mei Lin experienced what it means to be 'self-inflicted', fortunately, those snake lizards have a very strong sense of territory, and after chasing for a while, they returned to the nest in twos and threes, and Mei Lin also walked out of the forest and entered a swamp.
Merlin didn't want to cross the swamp if she could, because it was so stinky, and even though she had applied anti-odor to the tip of her nose, the smell was still sticking into her nose.
In addition to its stench, the swamp is also quite dangerous, with scavenging vultures hovering in droves overhead, which are the eyeliner of the ferocious creatures of the swamp.
At the bottom of the swamp, there are burrowing pythons more than six meters long, fierce mutant crocodiles, swamp magic flies, and silk tapeworms that spread out nearly an acre and have hundreds of slender tentacles.
Merlin secretly rejoiced that if it weren't for the Celestial Phantom Serpent and the Phantom Pine Cat, she would not be able to move an inch in this rancid swamp, but she would definitely be in danger.
For this swamp, Merlin has no good feelings, the creatures that live here, are difficult to deal with, Merlin once planned to capture two mutant crocodiles as thugs, but after catching them a few times, she finally gave up.
The skin on the backs of those crocodiles was so hard and thick that even Merlin couldn't penetrate it with her Blade Technique. And these creatures that grow in rotting swamps also have terrifying resistance to poison and corrosion.
Not to mention that the 'acid splash' didn't do anything for them, and even when Merlin summoned the poisonous lizard with the Ring of Balke, it could only make the ferocious creatures dodge, but not kill them.
In the evening, they finally found a piece of dry land, which was actually a small island more than thirty meters long, on which there were originally five or six huge mutant crocodiles, Merlin released the shield defenders, and gave these mutant crocodiles full of old fists, and two of them wanted to resist, but their heads were smashed, and the remaining few crawled back into the swamp with great interest...... However, they did not go far, but wandered a little farther away, and a dozen dark green eyes fluttered in the swamp like ghost fire, which was very terrifying.
Naturally, the work of guarding was carried out by three pets, and the tall shield guard was like a wall on its own, and then Merlin summoned four rune golems to lay an ambush on the island. In the end, Merlin set up a few traps herself, and then set up a large tent, and the camp was arranged.
When the sun went down, Merlin's mood also fell a little, the wizard who had escaped before had recovered his life, but there seemed to be a few less adventurers beside him...... In addition to them, several groups of people went into the swamp.
Although the Blood Orchid mission was just an excuse for her to enter the Snake Mountain Range, the promotion resources were not a small amount, and the most troublesome thing was that due to the existence of these people, the road to the mountain this time was also a little more uncertain, so it was no wonder that she was in a good mood.
But the most troublesome thing is the strange insects and fierce beasts in the swamp, in less than an hour, several waves have landed on the island, although they have been killed by shield guards and rune golems, but they are also disturbed Merlin has no way to rest,
Before she even entered the swamp, she had already thought about her next plan.
The failed plan in the forest made her realize the gap between imagination and reality, and she would not inexplicably confront those guys until her goal was achieved.
Judging from her knowledge of the Coiled Snake Mountains, the fierce beasts that she might encounter along the way would become more and more powerful, and those creatures were not only strong, but also possessed considerable intelligence. If you get entangled with those wizards any longer, I'm afraid you'll have to delay even getting down to business.
The meat of the mutant crocodile was not very tasty, and Merlin preferred to nibble on the jerky she had brought, and after cutting a few pieces of fresh meat for the pets to eat, she was about to go back to the tent to rest, but her eyes were attracted by a small object.
On the swamp near the island, a mass sped by...... Merlin was sure it wasn't any bird she knew.
It was the first time he had seen something walk on the swamp without sinking since he had entered the rancid swamp, and her eyes widened as she wondered how to capture the little thing.
Before she could make a move, Merlin found that the little thing had turned around and ran up to the island, standing in front of the corpses of the mutant crocodiles, salivating with a greedy look.
This made Merlin see its appearance clearly...... With bat-like wings, strong hind legs, and an owl-like head, Merlin immediately remembered a related introduction - Flying Cat.
The Flying Cat isn't really able to fly, but it does glide over short distances and is very nimble...... In Merlin's mind, she remembered the sight of the flying cat flying lightly through the swamp just now, and her mind was touched, and suddenly, a novel idea jumped out of her mind.
Probably didn't see any movement from Merlin, but Fei Lynx's courage grew, and it was about to step forward to tear off a piece of flesh, and suddenly felt dizzy...... By the time it came to its senses, it was already in Merlin's hands.
Gently spread the pair of wings, the wings are not large, and they appear very thin, and there are no well-developed muscles, such wings are not capable of flapping at all, and can only play the role of gliding.
However, the pair of wings really supports the weight of its body, and it is for this reason that the flying cat can run on the swamp.
In this swamp, there is no way to walk, Merlin was able to enter here, and she also prepared a small boat in advance, which could be passed in the swamp with the help of the wind, and the speed was extremely slow, which had become a problem for her.
However, looking at the little thing in front of her, Mei Lin knew that she had a new research direction to speed up her progress.
Under the moonlight, the island was surrounded by a silvery light, and Ingram drew the moonlight on the island...... This is a piece of information that Merlin found from the library of Rubik Cubes, where the spirit is able to draw energy from the moonlight so that she doesn't have to enter the nebula to recuperate after each energy drain.
In fact, this method of energy absorption is a bit eye-catching, and it is very easy to be discovered. When in the forest, Merlin is in danger once discovered by those competitors. But once you're in the swamp, you don't have to worry too much. No one will be able to cross this swamp at will unless they fly.
Merlin had some hope that they would come, and that would be the best chance of solving this big problem.
Again, several were not worried that those people would travel overnight. The others might not need to sleep, but the mage couldn't, not to mention that the opponent was moving much slower in the swamp than on this side. (To be continued.) )
