Chapter Thirty-Six: Trouble

"This is it, right?" Long Ling said, looking at the map.

"Don't you see the sign, Swamp, this is it. Mu Qing'er pointed to the sign on the side and said.

"Ahem, look at the map. Long Ling said embarrassedly.

"It's noon, and it's the time when many monsters are at their laziest, and this is the best time. Mu Qi said.

"Okay, Mu Qi and I are on guard around, you protect yourself. Mu Qing'er said.

Long Ling nodded.

Entering the forest, Mu Qing'er was in front, Long Ling was in the middle, and Mu Qi was behind. The trees in the forest are a little different from the rest, with dark trunks and sparse black leaves, making it uncertain if they are still alive. When I first entered the forest, the ground was still dry and hard, and the further I went, the softer and damp it became, and eventually it turned into a swamp, and it was strange how the trees grew so tall, and many of them were surrounded by black vines, like snakes.

In order to save magic energy, Mu Qing'er did not use vines to pave the road, the three of them just used a little magic energy to gather on their feet, and stepped on the swamp without sinking. It's strange to say, after walking for so long, I didn't even see a slightly stronger demonic beast, only some low-level demonic beasts wandered around and didn't dare to approach.

"In such a large swamp, there isn't even a first- or second-order demonic beast?" Long Ling said.

"It's okay if you don't have them, you don't have to guard against them. Look ahead, it's almost there, speed up. Mu Qing'er pointed to the small red tree in front of him and said.

The three of them sped up and soon reached the vicinity of the small tree.

The small tree looked out of place with its surroundings, with lush green foliage and a few glowing red fruits on the branches.

"That's the snake vine fruit!" Mu Qing'er's face was happy and she wanted to leave.

"Wait. Long Ling stopped Mu Qing'er and summoned a thunderbolt that shot at a place near the small tree.

"Hiss~" The sound of the snake sounded, and a black giant snake struggled to slap the flames off its body. The lines on the serpent's body were raised, like vines around the giant trees.

"That's the rattan snake. Mu Qing'er said.

The three of them looked at each other and dispersed, preparing to outflank the vine snake. Mu Qing'er moved forward, and the vine turned into a pontoon bridge, running towards the vine snake at great speed. The vine snake seemed a little timid and retreated recklessly, but the vines blocked its way. At this time, Mu Qi and Long Ling also went around to the vine snake, Mu Qi used the vine to restrict the movement of the vine snake, Long Ling spewed out flames to burn the vine snake, and the vine snake kept struggling but couldn't break free.

Suddenly, the vine snake's body trembled, and it turned into countless vines and burrowed into the swamp to escape, because of the effect of Long Ling's thunder light flames, the paralyzed action was a little late, and Long Ling felt the location of the body before he could run far.

"That's real!" Long Ling shouted as he pointed to a "rattan snake".

Mu Qing'er immediately controlled it, its whereabouts were exposed, and the vine snake revealed its true body, constantly hitting the vine to escape. Long Ling took this opportunity to approach the vine snake, and a wooden sword flashed out, and the thunder and flames covered the sword body and slashed back at the vine snake's head. The vine snake flicked its tail and wanted to catch the attack, but when the snake tail touched the wooden sword, the impact of the snake tail disappeared strangely, and the wooden sword cut off the snake tail, and the vine snake was killed before it could react.

Long Ling withdrew his sword and frowned as he looked at the corpse in front of him.

"Ji Kai, with you, you can kill the third-order demonic beast so easily. Mu Qing'er leaned forward and patted Long Ling on the shoulder.

"It's a good fit for us. But this vine snake is very strange, the third-order demonic beasts it encountered before are all extremely aggressive, but it wants to run away and not attack from the beginning. Long Ling said.

Mu Qi also leaned forward and said: "It's indeed a little strange, the vine snake doesn't even have the intention of fighting back." ”

"Whatever, the result is good," Mu Qing'er said indifferently, "Let's go pick the snake vine fruit." ”

Mu Qing'er jumped on the small tree, took out a jade bottle, and picked all the snake vine fruits in a few clicks and put them into the jade bottle. Jumping off the tree, Mu Qing'er said with satisfaction: "The smell emitted by the snake vine fruit after picking it will attract nearby demonic beasts, let's go quickly." ”

Long Ling and Mu Qi nodded, and the three of them wanted to retreat.

"Little doll, give me the fruit, okay?" the two walked out from behind the trunk and looked at Long Ling and the three of them with a smile.

"If it weren't for the absence of the fifth-order snake vine king, the three of you alone wouldn't be able to get the snake vine fruit, so how about handing it over to me?" said the middle-aged man in the lead with a smile.

Mu Qing'er shook the jade bottle and said mockingly: "If you want to grab something from this girl's hand, then let's see if you have the ability." ”

"Little ghosts don't know the height of the sky, if it weren't for the fact that you were able to defeat third-order demonic beasts at a young age, you would be corpses by now. The middle-aged man said with a cold face.

"It's a nice thing to say, but it's just for fear of offending the people behind us. Long Ling sneered.

"You ......," the middle-aged man said angrily.

"Brother Hao, as long as we solve the ...... of a few of them here," one of the people behind said to the man.

"Shut up," Brother Hao interrupted him, Brother Hao knew that some people couldn't afford to mess with him, "A few little friends, the snake vine fruit is really important to me, and I am willing to pay a high price to buy it." ”

"How high?" said Mu Qing'er, playing with the jade bottle.

"I'm willing to give out 5 magic pills in exchange for a snake vine fruit. Brother Hao's face shook, and it looked like it was very painful for him.

5 Returning Demon Pills are about equivalent to 56 Venus Coins, which is indeed a lot. However, for Mu Qing'er, it was completely untempting: "I'm sorry, this snake vine fruit is also very important to me, I refuse." ”

Brother Hao's face sank, and his fists clenched. "Toast and don't eat and drink, Brother Hao is making a deal with you to give you face, Brother Hao, I'll clean them up." The man next to him said flatteringly.

Brother Hao stopped him and said, "They can deal with third-order demonic beasts, and I'm afraid it's okay to deal with you, so I can only do it myself." ”

"A few people don't want to give me this face, so I can only ask for a lesson or two. Under Hao Snake. ”

"Ji Kai. Long Ling didn't hesitate to say it.

This guy gives his name, if it's not a fake name, then he wants to know our name, and wants to probe the relationship behind us, so as not to offend someone who can't afford to offend.

"Mu Qing'er. ”

"Muki. The two also said their names one after another.

"The surname is Mu, and it is the ability to use vines, could it be that he is a member of the Senluo family?" Hao Snake retreated a little, but under the temptation of the snake vine fruit, he couldn't bear to give up. Today, he brought people here, just with the determination not to go back without getting the snake vine fruit, now that the snake vine fruit is in front of him, how can he give up.

"I have no choice but to do it, and I ask for the understanding of a few friends. ”

"If you want it, come on. Mu Qing'er said.

"Offended. Hao Snake's body changed, turning into a purple giant snake and rushing towards Long Ling and the others.

"Be careful, it's the ability to change the line. Long Ling reminded.

Mu Qing'er and the others nodded and said, "Mu Qing'er and I control it, and you come to break through his defenses." ”

"I tried my best. ”

As they spoke, the serpent had reached their side. The three of them jumped in three directions, Mu Qing'er summoned vines under the giant snake to restrict the giant snake's movement, and Mu Qi used the vines to create a vine path for Long Ling in the air, so as to get close to Hao Snake.

Long Ling rushed at the giant snake, the wooden sword slashed, and the giant snake flicked its tail to slap it away. Unexpectedly, when it came into contact with the wooden sword, the power on the tail was rapidly weakening, and seeing that it was about to be unable to support it, Hao Snake turned his head and spewed out a mouthful of poisonous mist. Long Ling had no choice but to retreat, the poisonous mist approached, and the vines created a wooden rattan plank, only listening to the squeaking sound, it could be seen that the poisonous mist was violent. Forcing back Long Ling, the giant snake's body shook, broke through the restrictions of the vines, and moved forward without any obstacles in the swamp, approaching Mu Qing'er at great speed, the snake's head hit, Mu Qing'er hurriedly created a vine barrier, but the huge impact still knocked her away and hit the trunk of the tree, although it was protected by vines, a trace of blood still flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"Sister!" Mu Qi shouted, seeing that Mu Qing'er was fine, he relieved his heart, and said to Hao Snake angrily, "You bastard, die!"

Countless vines appeared all around him, and golden lines loomed on them. Seeing this, Hao Snake knew that his conjecture was true, and hurriedly lifted it, put on his clothes and said: "It's the villain who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, so the villain will retreat, and please don't blame Xiaoyou." ”

"If you hurt my sister, you want to leave? Mu Qi said angrily.

"Alright, Xiaoqi, let them go. Mu Qing'er's voice came out.

"But, sister......" Mu Qi's words were interrupted by Mu Qing'er, saying: "They didn't do anything, my skills are not as good as others." Alright, let's go. ”

"Xie Xiaoyou, next time I will apologize in person. Hao Snake turned around and left, and the people next to him hurriedly followed.

Putting away the vines, Mu Qi hurriedly walked to Mu Qing'er's side, and said worriedly, "Sister, are you okay?"

"It's okay," he said, shaking the jade bottle in his hand, "Let's go quickly, or we'll be in trouble if we don't wait for the demonic beasts to gather." ”

"I think we're in a lot of trouble right now. Long Ling said on the side.

Not far away, several demonic beasts were already walking towards them, judging from their aura, they were one fourth-order and two second-order demonic beasts.

Mu Qing'er stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said, "It's troublesome." What do we do now?"

"You and Mu Qi go out first, and I'll drag these demonic beasts down. ”

"No, how can you face these demonic beasts alone, and you have to walk together. Mu Qing'er immediately refused.

"Didn't you also say that the snake vine fruit will attract demonic beasts, and the longer you stay here, the more demonic beasts will be, and you will be injured again, and you must be protected by Muqi to get out. ”

"You can let Mu Qi take the snake vine fruit out, and the two of us will stop it here. ”

"Sister. ”

"No, you have to get out. ”

"Why?" the monster is getting closer and closer, and if you can't decide again, a few people may not be able to leave.

"Because you're a burden! I can see that the injuries in your body are not light, and Mu Qi is also relatively weak now after the outbreak, and you stay here will only get in the way. Long Ling scolded.

"You ......" Mu Qing'er also looked a little angry.

"Mu Qing'er, take your sister away, quickly, no one will be able to leave later!" Long Ling said loudly.

"Sister, let's go first, don't you know Ji Kai's strength. He'll be fine, sis. Mu Qi's voice was about to turn into a pleading.

Mu Qing'er turned her head and ran towards the outside of the forest.

Mu Qi said: "Brother Ji Kai, take care." He also hurriedly caught up with Mu Qing'er.
