The calm of the Bone Swamp is still so eerie. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As long as there are no specific requirements, a collection task will generally last for a long time, at least more than three days.

Phil and his party have been in the Black Wasteland for two days, and now they have been deep for two days after entering the Bone Swamp, and according to Phil's estimates, this mission is estimated to last a week.

The main thing is that although the Bone Swamp is not as vast and narrow as the Endless Forest, it is very long, and with the materials required for the mission, they gradually go deeper and deeper into the deeper and less inaccessible places.

The road was not uneventful, and there were several threats of death. However, there were two battles with real casualties, one of these two battles caused the danger of Thomas's left hand being amputated, but fortunately, the wound medicine produced by the Black Sotaller Academy was not comparable to that of ordinary people, and it only took half a day to avoid the danger, but he retreated from the front-line combat members and became an auxiliary; the other battle caused the death of a cadet, who was bitten and swallowed by a predator, swallowed into his stomach, and finally Phil avenged him.

The wizarding world is far from a paradise on earth, on the contrary, people face far more death threats here than they face in the ordinary world, and this may be the price of power.

And what disturbed Phil was that after so many battles, not a single battle had caught the attention of the beasts around them, as if they had all changed their minds and didn't care about the blood that was close at hand, and the chip didn't give any warning.

"Alright, let's move on. Margaret said, getting up from Thomas's arms and walking ahead.

In the wizarding world, it is necessary to have this awareness, and it is impossible for them to stop their steps for a person's injury or death.

At this time, they had just dug a pit for the dead student to bury him, and rested and remembered by the way.

"Hi Phil, do me a favor. Thomas, who was walking behind, suddenly pulled Phil, and he pointed to Margaret, who was walking in the front, and said, "The next combat power, help me take care of her more." ”

Phil looked up at Margaret at the front, and then at Thomas's bandaged left hand: "If you really don't have the ability to fight, I'll consider it." "No matter what Thomas's reaction is, go first.

Thomas just looked at Phil and smiled secretly, he could hear what Phil meant.

In fact, Phil didn't trust Mars to be injured by amputation so simply, he knew Thomas very well, as an ordinary person who was not a knight, although he was defeated by Miranda in front of everyone, he was also defeated by a knight mid-level person, which proved his own strength, besides, Phil also knew that Thomas was an important son of a wizarding family, how could he not have a zero-level witch weapon? Although he had never seen Thomas use it, Phil never believed that he didn't even have the opportunity to use a Level Zero witch weapon.

When you think about it, Thomas's injury is a bit weird.

Why did he get hurt? What was he planning? What was the secret of this mission?

Phil doesn't know yet, but he can be cautious.

As for taking care of Margaret or something, Phil meant to let Thomas come by himself and not involve him.

The time gradually came to night.

During the period, a lot of materials were also collected, and two battles were also carried out, both of which were relatively relaxed, but with the decrease in personnel, there were fewer people on guard on the periphery, after all, there were no accidents after so many battles, and everyone was inevitably a little lax, and it could not be said that they were lax, but that they reasonably arranged the combatants for the analysis of the battle situation.

At night, the Bone Swamp becomes more dangerous. So Margaret decided early on to stay and rest.

Although there were no accidents, there was still the right state to be, and while the others were stationed to prepare dinner, Thomas and Phil stood guard around the camp.

Thomas still holds a sword in his right hand, walking in front of him and slashing through the bushes and grass that stands in his way, while Phil walks behind, also holding a cross sword, ready for fireball.

"There are a few eggs here, you can cook them and eat them when you go back." "Thomas suddenly climbed a tree and pulled out a few eggs from a bird's nest.

After looking at it, he threw two more to Phil: "This kind of bird egg tastes pretty good, you try it." ”

Phil felt that Thomas was in a strange state, but still put away the eggs and followed him.

"What's the sound?" Phil suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the camp, but it was very unreal.

"Yes, I didn't hear it, I guess you misheard. Thomas glanced back at Phil and said with a smile.

Phil stared at Thomas without speaking, but he had always noticed, and Thomas had been keeping an eye on the camp.

This cordoned off route is not far from the camp, and any movement can be detected quickly.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Thomas said.

Something must have happened, Phil thought, but what the hell are Thomas and Margaret up to?

The distance is too far for the chip to be viewed at all.

"Why did you invite me to join this mission?" asked Phil suddenly.

"I'm just afraid of accidents," said Thomas, "and you're not going to die, are you?"

At this moment, there was another strange noise from the camp, and this time not only Phil heard it.

Thomas's face changed immediately.

"It does seem that there was an accident. ”

Thomas cried with a sad face: "It's a big deal, Phil." ”

Phil had also identified that the strange noise coming from the camp was the roar of a bird, and this bird had been specially shown by the black-robed instructor in the classroom with light and shadow tricks, and its roar had also startled everyone in the class.

Bone Bird, a ferocious bird named after the Bone Swamp.

It is a notorious and brutal beast in the Bone Swamp, carnivorous, good at stealth, although it lives alone, but it is also a long-term nightmare for every freshman of the Black Cord Tower Academy, every time there are many new students in the Bone Swamp are preyed on by the Bone Bird, they are so fast that almost no one can escape its pursuit as long as they meet.

"Bone Bird!" Phil looked at Thomas viciously, "you don't have the guts to provoke such a thing, it looks like the plan has gone wrong." ”

"yes, we were just going to play with the blood mosquitoes, you know, like when we first came. Thomas wried pitifully.

"Then make a decision, do you want to go, or do you want to go back?" asked Phil.

Whether to go directly in the hope that the Bird will not smell them and escape with their lives, or reflexively go back to save his lover Margaret, these two choices are just testing Thomas alone.

Phil didn't wait for Thomas to answer, he was already one step ahead. Immediately, Thomas caught up with him, as nimble as he did not look like an injured man.

Thomas didn't make a choice at all.

It is very inconvenient for a person to walk on two legs in a swamp.

Everything in the swamp seems to be dressed in camouflage, whether it is trees, land or grass, like a skilled masquerader, if one is not careful, it will fall.

Most of the trees in the Bone Swamp are poisonous, don't look at its surface is ordinary, if you dig up a few of its roots, you can definitely see a lot of white bones, all of which are beasts that have been accidentally poisoned by the sap of the trees.

The grass is absolutely unsafe, the poisonous snake and the frog like to stay the most, and it is not convenient to move around, there is a kind of grass in the swamp of chaotic bones, which will grow into two sections, the top section is no different from ordinary grass, but the second section is tangled into a rope hell, just go in and don't want to break free easily.

But the most dangerous thing is still the ground that looks like land, the swamp quagmire has been exposed, and the top bit of soil will condense into the most ordinary land, snakes, ants, insects and birds can walk on it without hindrance, but it definitely can't support a person's weight, when people fall into it, the more they struggle to sink deeper, and there are strange beasts that live in the quagmire of the bone swamp, which is not safe and harmless.

And Phil and Thomas, it was in this place that they ran for their lives.

Every step has to be taken carefully, although the tips for action in the Swamp of Bones have been considered before coming, but when it comes to action on the ground, it is not so simple, let alone the moment of running for your life.

But even if you want to increase your speed, you can't do it, and you can't be too careful in a place where you can never recover if you make a wrong step.

In this way, the two of them gradually moved away from the original camp.

"I guess, it's not coming, is it?" said Thomas, looking back.

Behind them was the silent Bone Swamp, and in front of them was too, when they fled for their lives before, they naturally chose to stay away from the Bone Bird, but because of this, they went deeper into the Bone Swamp.

"What the hell is your plan, and how did you attract such a guy?" Now, Phil had to know the truth.

"No plan," Thomas walked over to Phil, "You also see the state of Mayvis, because her boyfriend, what is his name I forgot, she was once bitten to death by the blood mosquito attracted by the black blood rose here, so she has always suspected that we are framed by the same team, but for no reason, why did we frame him?"

Thomas took out the jug and took a sip of water, continuing, "Recently she started to approach Margaret in disguise, and then Margaret discovered her anomalous ......"

As he spoke of Margaret, Phil glanced at him.

Thomas's dark color remained unchanged, "Margaret later found out that she was a madman! It is very likely that Mavis wanted to frame all of us in the same team to death, so that her boyfriend's killer would not be missed."

Therefore, Margaret gathered a few people from the same team, planning to use blood mosquitoes to solve Mavis as well, but she didn't expect ......"

"Didn't expect to attract the Bone Bird?" said Phil to believe what Mars had said, and there was no need for him to lie. However, if you just want to attract blood mosquitoes, how can you attract boneless birds?

Phil remembered the battle after entering the Bone Swamp these days, and suddenly had a guess, maybe this Bone Bird had appeared since their group entered the Bone Swamp, and the Bone Bird had this habit of following its prey all the way until the time was ripe, which may explain why there were no other strange beasts around during the battle, and they were all shocked by the Bone Bird......

Thinking about this, Phil couldn't help but be a little afraid, and was followed by a powerful beast for a few days without noticing......

At this moment, Phil suddenly noticed the silence around him.

Eerily quiet......

"Run!"
