Chapter 1307: Boundless Swamp
Li Fan and his group walked for about three or four hours in this way, and then they came out of a dense forest.
After cutting down the last thorn, what appeared in front of everyone was a meadow with no end in sight. The grass is full of wild flowers of all colors, and with the blue sky and white clouds, it makes people suddenly open-minded.
"It's so beautiful!" Little Bell, a girl, naturally interested in such beautiful things, was the first to rush into the meadow, happily picking those gorgeous flowers.
"Brother Gu Yitian, this is for you. After a while, the little bell made a wreath and put it on Gu Yitian's head as he spoke.
As a straight man of steel, Gu Yitian naturally refused, and kept avoiding the claws of the little bell.
"I'm a big man, what is it like to wear this kind of thing, don't wear it, don't wear it. Gu Yitian was full of resistance.
"Hmph, don't forget it, Xiao Lingling, you wear it. After tossing for a long time, the little bell couldn't put the wreath in his hand on Gu Yitian's head. In the end, he could only pout his mouth and stomp his feet, and turned his head to walk in front of the witch spirit.
Although the witch spirit, who had been silently watching the two people frolicking beside him, still looked expressionless, the careful Shao Shuai saw a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
It is estimated that seeing that the little bell has been sticking to Gu Yitian, he has some taste in his heart.
"This garland is not pretty, you can make a new one for me. The witch quietly took the wreath off his head, and asked the little bell to make another one for himself under the pretext that it was not pretty.
"What's not pretty? I think it's good. The little bell hadn't noticed the taste of the witch spirit at this time, and still had an innocent expression on his face.
Wu Ling glanced at the garland in the little bell's hand, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. This garland was not made up for himself from the beginning, and he didn't want other people's things to look good!
"This flower is going to be ruined, it's not beautiful at all, little bell, you can make me a new one." β
Seeing that the witch spirit really didn't want this wreath, the little bell could only buckle it on his head, and then picked some flowers and made a new one for the witch spirit.
It wasn't until he had the wreath that Little Bell had woven for himself that the witch spirit wore it happily.
Shao Shuai and Li Fan couldn't help but snicker when they saw his awkward behavior.
This witch spirit is really awkward, obviously he is jealous, and he has to pretend to be light-hearted.
"Ahem, it's almost over, isn't it? Although we have passed through the dense forest, we still have to cross this plain to reach our Gu Clan. Before it gets dark, let's go. β
Seeing that Li Fan and Shao Shuai were both looking at him playfully, Wu Ling couldn't help blushing a little, coughed lightly twice, and quickly changed the topic.
Li Fan and Shao Shuai didn't poke him, and after chuckling a few times, they picked up their bags and continued to hurry.
After walking for more than an hour, it was already dark. Li Fan and the others made a few simple torches, and marched forward on the plain with torches in their hands.
But the further back he went, the colder Li Fan felt. And the originally dry land has gradually become damp, and in some places there are even puddles.
"Strange, how do I feel that this place is getting wetter and wetter as I go? Li Fan looked at the puddles that reflected the light in the moonlight, and asked very suspiciously.
"I feel the same way, my shoes are soaking wet. I felt cold all over my body, and I felt very uncomfortable. Gu Yitian rubbed his arm as he spoke.
Because it was summer, he didn't bring thicker clothes this time, and the backpack was full of short sleeves, but he didn't expect it to be so cold that he had goosebumps at this time.
"Thousands of years ago, this plain was actually a river beach, but over time, the geology changed, and the river gradually dried up, and it became the meadow it is now. Although the river is gone, some low-lying places still have groundwater seeping out, and even a large swamp has become a large swamp. β
Wu Ling has read the history books of the Gu Clan since he was a child, and he knows this land and the Gu people in this land very well.
And this time, he answered Li Fan's question even more rarely, unlike before, when he spoke with thorns.
After listening to Wu Ling's words, Li Fan frowned slightly. "According to what you say, isn't that a swamp ahead?"
"That's right, as long as you pass through that swamp, you can be regarded as officially entering the realm of the Gu Clan. The witch nodded in reply.
At this moment, Li Fan finally understood why this road was abandoned by the Gu people, there was a dense forest in front and a swamp in the back, and it was difficult for people outside to get in. What's more, even if you go in, you will immediately be discovered by those insects raised by the Gu clan.
"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest first, the swamp after dark is still dangerous. β
Considering that everyone had been on the road for another day, plus it was getting dark, and because there was a swamp ahead. Li Fan simply didn't leave first, and waited until dawn tomorrow to find a way to finish the last part of the road.
"No, we've reached a place where there's a lot of groundwater, and there's a river every night. If we had stayed overnight here, we would have drowned in the underground river that appeared in the middle of the night. β
Everyone was about to put their luggage down, but the witch spirit's words made them stop what they were doing.
I thought that the plains would be much easier to walk than the jungle, but who knew that it would become more and more difficult. It seems that they don't want to cross the swamp tonight, and are going to go inside.
In desperation, several people had to pick up their luggage again and walk forward step by step.
After everyone walked for more than half an hour, Li Fan and the others finally saw the swamp that Wu Ling said.
"Nima! Is this called a swamp? You can't even see the fucking end!" By the bright moonlight, everyone looked at the faintly reflected meadow in front of them and were dumbfounded, and Kejir was stunned for a moment before bursting into a foul mouth.
In their subconscious, the swamp was not too big, but after seeing the endless swamp in front of them, Li Fan and the others realized that they were really too naΓ―ve.
