Chapter 328: A Chance Encounter
"Elson, I can't do it......" Nika, the only woman in the team, was the first to lose her strength and lay on the strange-shaped tree next to her. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it was early in the morning, the team that set out in the middle of the night yesterday had walked all night, and although the warriors could barely hold on, the wizard apprentices who had never had anything to do with physical strength could not.
Knowing that he couldn't hold out, Elson, as the captain, ordered to rest in place, which frightened the scout Lumika, who was hired to lead the way.
"No, we can't rest in a place like this!"
"But you can see that everyone is tired. ”
"No matter how tired you are, unless you don't want to die?"
Knowing why Lumika was so determined, Elson couldn't help but sigh as well. It's not that he doesn't know that it's stupid to let your guard down in a notoriously dangerous swamp, but his teammates are tired, and if they don't take a break, how can they cope with the rest of the journey?After all, their purpose is the rotten bone grass that can only grow in the depths of the swamp, where there are many monster colonies, and digging for the rotten bone grass in a monster haunt is not an easy task, unless they are lucky enough to find it nearby.
"But ......"
Elson, who was about to argue, suddenly stopped, and listened vigilantly to the sound of the wind, faint and rustling like the rubbing of leaves, and his keen intuition told him that trouble was coming.
Without words, seeing Mandela, who also had sharp ears, put the iron arrows specially designed to deal with large beasts with a precise short bow, the other team members who were still resting immediately entered a state of preparation.
Elson hurriedly pulled up Nika, who looked tired, and had to rely on her sorcery after the battle, and she must not be injured first.
"Oh no, it's a giant poisonous lizard!!"
Seeing the huge figure splashing in the mud and wading through the mud and rushing towards him, Lumika immediately turned and ran.
It is extremely unwise to fight the poisonous giant poisonous lizard in the swamp, and the only way is to escape, as long as you escape enough distance, the territorially strong giant poisonous lizard will not chase after you.
Just one step behind Lumica, Cardoba joined the fleeing party. While Thoyd picked up Nika, Mandela and Elson moved quickly.
Behind them, two poisonous lizards refused to give up this rare delicacy easily, and the two sides engaged in a tug-of-war in the swamp, which naturally alarmed the other residents living in the swamp.
Lumika, who was running at the front, stopped in shock...... In a clearing in front of her, a woman in a cloak sat by a campfire, roasting meat and drinking fragrant wine, and beside her lay a very delicate tablecloth with some delicious pastries.
In the notoriously dangerous swamp of the Curse, there was a leisurely barbecue and a picnic, and at the same time the delicious food aroused Lumika's hunger, and he had not eaten all night...... At the moment, the danger that was approaching behind him was not as much as the food in front of him attracted his attention.
The others who caught up later were also shocked by the sight of the same.
Elson, who had the most experience in adventure, recovered first, and seeing that he had missed the best opportunity to escape, he had no choice but to draw his sword and prepare for the battle, trying to create as many opportunities for his teammates to attack as possible. But he himself knew that with the strength of their team, it would be difficult to deal with two poisonous lizards, and now he only hoped that the woman who had the leisure to eat in the swamp had some special means.
The others who had recovered from their brief moment of surprise also took on their positions, ready to fight the poisonous lizard, and even Lumika, who had never been directly involved in close combat, drew his self-defense dagger...... He was reluctant, but if the entire adventure party was wiped out, he wouldn't be able to get out of the dangerous swamp of resentment.
After running all the way to catch up with the fleeing breakfast, the two poisonous lizards stood side by side in front of breakfast, looking like they were picking fat and thin.
Just when the battle was about to break out, a faint figure suddenly jumped out from the side of the poisonous lizard not far from without warning, the cold light flickered one after another, and the two poisonous lizards just reacted, and they had already fallen in a pool of blood, the figure was a small man, wrapped in a black cloak, he raised his hand and sprinkled a piece of gray-white powder, the smell of blood that had just begun to diffuse was immediately dispersed by a faint fragrance, and then the figure disappeared like a ghost.
"Ingram, let's go. ”
The woman turned her head, revealing a beautiful face, she glanced at several adventurers, and said lightly: "With your strength, going deeper is undoubtedly looking for death, go back quickly." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wizard, for saving your life. But this time, we took over the task of rotting bone grass, and we must complete it before we can go back. Elson saw the white wizard's robe under the other party's cloak at a glance, and immediately became respectful, as for the mosquito who did it, it should be the wizard's entourage.
"Are you a student at the Golem Academy?" asked the wizard as he looked at Nika, who was sniffing the aroma with an intoxicated expression.
"Yes. Which wizard are you?" asked Nika respectfully.
"If you're hungry, these things should be enough for you. ”
The wizard pointed to the southwest: "There is some rotting bone grass over there, let's go back quickly after picking it." ”
With that, he left and walked deeper into the swamp, discarding even the materials on the two poisonous lizards.
"Hehe, this time I have something to eat now!"
As soon as the wizard was gone, Toyd rushed to the barbecue with a smile on his face, grabbed a piece of oily barbecue and munched on it.
"Strange, how come there isn't the stench of the swamp here?" Elson sniffed hard, muttering strangely to himself.
"It's the defilement pandan!"
Nika looked at the gray-white powder on the ground with some heartache, and looked regretful, "This kind of defilement pandan is the raw material for making top-grade perfumes, like these inconspicuous ashes, it is worth at least a thousand gold coins." ”
"What?" Elson froze.
Burst!
Toyd didn't swallow a mouthful of minced meat, but spit it all out.
The six adventurers looked at the ashes with sad expressions, and felt the urge to pick them up from the mud.
