"These places are too difficult to get around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Alice pulled her feet out of the sticky dirt with great force, and the originally beautiful little leather boots were now stained with black and smelly mud, and if you looked closely, you could find small insects of various colors in the mud with the naked eye, which were constantly drilling around on them.

This is a swamp in Schleswig, south of Jutland, and because of the special climate of the north, every time winter passes and spring comes, the temperature rises and the snow melts, forming swamps of various sizes in this land.

Most of these swamps disappear in the summer, and the intense heat evaporates the soil moisture, leaving dry soil, while a small part of the wetlands connected to rivers and lakes continue to be preserved, according to Shylock, from west to south Schleswig are swamps, plains and hills, while along the coast are mainly tidal flats and wetlands.

Shylock himself could not provide much information, because as a goblin, he was not very strong, and he could only go to Jutland from the plain in the middle of Schleswig without any danger according to the experience and maps of his predecessors, and he did not know much about the swamps to the west and the hills to the east, and he did not know what kind of creatures, tribes, and dangers lived in them.

It can be said that even with the information of goblins like Sherlock, Alice's knowledge of Schleswig is only a small plain, and the unknown areas to the east and west need to be explored by her own team.

There was no way, because there were only so many people, and there were simply not enough of them, so there were many things that Alice had to do by herself.

Semiramis needs to go through a retreat in Jutland to absorb divinity to impact the legendary level, and in order to protect her, Alice also left the spell book, the spell book plus those gargoyles, for the current Jutland is already foolproof, even if there is really an enemy with the strength of the legend to attack, there is no need to be afraid, at that time, the spell book will naturally use the [Time and Space Gate] to call reinforcements from the capital of death.

The purple-haired girl who had been trying to follow her was left behind by Alice in the middle of Schleswig, and the giant forces led by the Garnzorga Enko brothers were also left there, which has now been reduced to a construction site, where the giants are constantly cutting wood from the surrounding forests to dig ores, and building a castle to rule the land under the command of Qil.

Although Chill is still very young, but just as an overseer, she can still be competent, Alice does not have to worry about the people below to disobey her, in the Scandinavian battlefield, with the strength of one person she killed the mammoth giant elephant that three giants could not defeat alone, and this also made her in Alice's team second only to Alice's prestige, Cheer does not need to worry about other problems, because Alice has already designed everything before, as long as the castle is built step by step。

She had been walking in the swamp with the rhinoceros for three days, and had not yet come out of the swamp, but fortunately the rhinoceros lived in the swamp before they came to Jutland, which made Alice's trip to the swamp much less troublesome.

The air was full of poisonous miasma, and the muddy land was covered with all kinds of parasites and fist-sized leeches kept coming around her, and soon covered the barrier around her, which made Alice very unaccustomed to entering the swamp at first, and she didn't know what the reason was at first, until the rhinoceros reminded her, she didn't know that those bugs were so crazy because of the smell of blood emitted by the [blood barrier].

However, even if it was changed to other magic, it only made the frequency of attacks in these attacks smaller, and finally forced Alice to use the [Fear Aura] around her, fearing all creatures that entered her within a radius of three meters.

"Snakes, crocodiles, frogs and rats, and some dinosaurs. ”

Alice kept counting the creatures that had attacked her along the way.

After three days of exploration, Alice and his party did not find any traces of intelligent creatures here, in this swamp, the most powerful creature Alice has ever seen is a crocodile more than 20 meters long, hiding in the depths of the mud and disguised as a piece of rotten wood, the big guy suddenly became difficult when Alice and his party passed by, and dragged an unsuspecting rhinoceros man into the swamp in one bite, and then a large stream of blood came out from the bottom, staining the entire body of water.

Of course, in the end, I don't know how many years I have lived, I have approached the legend, and the big guy who is only one step away from condensing the legend of the advanced divinity is turned into a crocodile underwear by the angry Alice, and his flesh and blood are used as food, so that the team that has entered the swamp and has difficulty in supplying can enjoy a delicious dinner.

Suddenly, a rhinoceros man walking at the front of the line stopped, he squatted down and carefully grabbed a handful of mud on the ground, ignored the leeches that were drilling around above, gently put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed, a solemn expression appeared on his face, turned back like the team following behind him and made a gesture to stop advancing, and then walked in front of Alice, lowered his head and said carefully.

"Master, there is a situation. ”

"What's wrong? Brian. ”

Alice glanced at the soil in the rhinoceros man's palm, looked at the slender parasites that writhed inside, and turned her head in disgust.

"Hosts, please look here. ”

The rhinoceros scout named Brian was unimpressed by his master's movements, holding the dirt in one hand and carefully grasping the head of a parasite with two fingers in the other, twisting the parasite's body in half with a slight flip.

The insect whose body was split in half from the middle was not dead yet, the two broken bodies were still wriggling and flipping, and with the movement of the insects, red, green and yellow liquid continued to flow out from the place where the wound was broken, and at the same time, a fishy smell of blood began to fill the air.

Ignoring Alice's ugly face, Brian held the parasite's head casually, shook the liquid in the worm's body up and down, and pointed to the liquid that was thrown out with the other hand, and said seriously.

"Master, the blood in the body of these parasites has not been digested, which means that it has sucked the blood of living beings for at least two days. ”

"It's crocodiles and snakes or something. ”

Alice shrugged her shoulders, not paying attention to Brian's findings.

Although the products here are very abundant, the food is very abundant, the precipitation is abundant, and the fertile swamp soil can provide sufficient nutrients for the plants, but due to the miasma and the ubiquitous parasites and poisonous insects here, unless it is the rhinoceros people, snake people, lizard people and other intelligent beings who can live in these areas, other races, even the most adaptable humans, cannot survive here.

After three days of walking and exploring, Alice and the others did not find the slightest trace of the life of intelligent creatures, so let alone Alice, even Brian's companions, those rhinoceros people who also lived in the swamp before, did not agree with Brian's statement.

"No, no, no, master. ”

Brian shook his head earnestly, ignoring the mocking gazes of his companions around him, and continued to speak to Alice.

"Look here. ”

He turned and walked a step to the piece of mud where he had just scratched the dirt, crouched down, regardless of whether it would stain his clothes, and dug with his hands hard, and under his movements, a deep pit was quickly dug out of the place, and the water in the dirt next to it quickly returned, filling the hole and flooding Brian's waist at the same time.

Alice, who was standing above, frowned, watching the water below keep churning, and the dense leeches were all over Brian's clothes, as well as on the skin, fortunately, the tough skin of the rhinoceros man had a defense equivalent to being released from the [Body Protector Stone Skin], otherwise Brian would have been sucked dry of blood by these leeches in less than a minute.

"Come on. ”

Alice gave an order, let the rhinoceros man come up from the puddle, and then with a wave of her palm, a huge fireball appeared in front of her, like the setting sun, Alice controlled the fireball to fall towards the big pit on the ground, feeling the fierce heat and life threat in the sky, and those leeches without intelligence also began to churn wildly.

The hot breath began to spread from the pit to all sides, and the transpiring water formed a warm white mist in the air, and small insects kept coming out of the ground, and when everything stopped, the water in the pit had completely evaporated, and even the leeches inside disappeared, leaving only a little scorched black at the bottom of the cave.

Waving his hand to stop Brian who wanted to step forward and continue digging, Alice used her magic power to condense two palms more than a meter in the air, and continued to dig in the hole, three minutes passed, the digging stopped, and the contents of the hole were also taken out by Alice.

Looking at the things that had been placed on the completely dry ground, the rhinoceros people around them all gathered around and talked about it, and there was no mockery in the eyes that looked at Brian, but a little admiration.

Alice dug out of the pit was a skeleton, because it was swallowed by the swamp, the skeleton was very rotten, and there were a lot of bugs on the body that were starting a carnival feast, even if it had been exposed to the air, these bugs that were still eating XX frantically did not mean to stop.

"Master, what is this?"

Looking at the solemn expression on Alice's face and the tightly furrowed brow, Brian cautiously stepped forward and asked.

"Brian, I think you've been to Scandinavia with me before. ”

"Yes, master. ”

Brian didn't understand why Alice was asking such a question at this time, but he nodded and replied.

"Don't you recognize it? These are dwarves, dwarves in Scandinavia who are now the only ones in Scandinavia. ”

Alice stepped forward, as the Aura of Fear was still maintained around her, and the bugs began to retreat from the top of the bones, and by the time Alice reached the front of the bones, there was not a single bug left.

Dressed in gloves sewn from dragon skin, a white mask made of linen, a headscarf covering her hair, and a white lab coat, Alice crouched down to examine the highly decomposed corpse while extracting the knowledge in her mind.

"That's right, it's a dwarf, although the clothes, equipment, weapons and other things on the body have been taken away by others, and there is no way to accurately confirm the appearance because of the environment here, but this must be a dwarf corpse. ”

Alice didn't explain much to her men, still turning over the dwarven corpses.

"Master, isn't Scandinavia fighting a war against Attila right now, and the last time we saw it, the dwarves also sent a team to help defend against Attila's army, how could they be here?"

"I don't know, but I certainly didn't come here by land from the direction of Jutland, even if it was in the swamp, but this dwarf would never have been dead for more than two days, and if it was passing through Jutland at this time, it would have been impossible for me not to find out. ”

"Master, what do you mean?"

"They've either bypassed Jutland by sea or they've been here before we came to Jutland, but either way, it's not good news for us. ”

Alice stood up, and the two vampire maids behind her immediately came over and helped her put away her gloved clothes covered with filth.

"This guy was killed with a sharp blade, and the weapons and equipment on his body should have been taken away by the victor, and the corpse was thrown here, according to the special environment here, it only takes a month to completely erase all traces. ”

"Get ready for battle, I don't think the road ahead will be as calm as it used to be. ”

Alice turned to her team in command, then half-squinted into the distance shrouded in fog.

Regardless of whether it was the dwarven team or the murderers who killed the dwarves waiting for Alice ahead, for Alice's party...... The biggest possible thing is that the enemy will only be the enemy.

"That's interesting......"

In a voice that no one could hear, Alice muttered under her breath, then raised her feet and turned back to begin to prepare for battle.
