157. A swamp in the rainforest

It took us three days and nearly 100 kilometers through the rainforest.

Finally, at dusk on the third day, I stepped into the swamp area, and the rainforest was full of dense mangroves and large banyan trees with close roots, and the swamp ran through it, and under many of the dead leaves was some bottomless quagmire that could swallow the whole giant elephant, and in this swampy woodland, if you accidentally stepped on it, the whole leg would be completely sunk in.

In the quagmire full of foul smell, there is a poisonous scorpion with a giant turtle, and the black tail needle is highly poisonous, even if Luka, a minotaur with a strong physique, has a whole leg that is almost as swollen as an elephant's leg, if it weren't for Senior Sister Erica to configure the antidote in advance, I'm afraid that Ruka would be forced to return to Xinliu Valley because of his temporary mobility.

'Walking on the water'

between woodlands

This swampy area

This magic has definitely helped me solve the biggest problem that the environment has brought us, and every member of the team has been blessed with the magic effect of 'Walking on Water'.

So this muddy swamp is like solid land for us, and we can walk freely.

This general-purpose magic, inherited from the orc tribe, is very magical to the team's guide, Miss Amy.

As it turned out, the young guide, Miss Amy, was far less experienced in the jungle than she said she was.

She didn't even know that swamp crocodiles and forest dragons usually lurk in the swamps, they sink between the rotten leaves of the swamps, and when the prey passes through the swamp with difficulty, the swamp crocodile will swing its huge tail and gallop through the swamp, almost frantically catching up with the prey, and forcibly dragging the prey into the mire, these prey are often suffocated to death when the swamp crocodile fights, and of course, some are directly bitten to death by the swamp crocodile.

Amy squatted under the tree, staring at a swamp giant crocodile more than eight meters long hanging on the big banyan tree opposite, its head was completely pierced by a black iron spear, nailed to the main trunk of the big banyan tree, the huge tail hung down into the muddy water, at this time it was still twitching, blood continued to flow down the banyan tree, dyeing the muddy water under the banyan tree purple.

Justes clutched a skinning knife and expertly began to peel the head of the swamp crocodile, as if he had taken off a coat from the swamp crocodile, and the mottled and cracked crocodile skin was peeled off and tied up in a bloody ball, and Justes threw the leather at my feet with some disgust.

I've put this uncooked crocodile skin into a magic chest, the twelfth alligator skin I've hunted today.

The woodland was a mess, littered with broken branches, and a huge crater appeared in the middle of the muddy water in the swamp, as if it had been blown over by a firescale bomb.

The battle was not fierce, mainly because it failed to kill the giant crocodile directly, and when it was dying and struggling, it turned the swamp upside down, and finally it was Luka the Minotaur who pierced the skull of the giant crocodile with a black iron spear to kill it completely.

In the stinking environment, everyone was really in no mood to eat roasted crocodile meat, and after priing open the crocodile's skull and removing the magic core hidden in the skull, this skinned swamp crocodile was abandoned by us in the woodland.

"What's the matter, why are you looking at me like this, the first time you've been on an adventure in the jungle with a party?" I asked, smiling at the girl Amy, closing the lid of the box.

Amy shook her head vigorously and said to me seriously: "I used to follow a well-known adventure group in Strange Rock City to hunt in this jungle swamp, they didn't dare to step into this swamp easily, when they killed the swamp giant crocodile, they all asked a sturdy ranger to lure the crocodile to the land, this kind of big guy is very fierce in the swamp, but running to the land is not so scary, but now...... I never knew it would be so easy to hunt a swamp crocodile, is that the power of magic?"

"It's not the power of magic, or you can think of it as a team, everyone will do their job, everyone will work together perfectly, even without the help of magic, it won't be too difficult to kill this swamp crocodile. I explained to the teenage girl, Amy.

After a short rest, in the evening, when the temperature in the jungle cooled a little, we set off again.

Although the marks left by the orcs were constantly found along the way, they did not even touch their tails.

Across the narrow swamp in the shape of pea sprouts in the rainforest, as Amy said, there was a large banyan forest in front of us, and countless roots hung down from the canopy and dug deep into the silt, and if we wanted to pass through this banyan forest, we had to cut off these resilient roots and make a passage in the forest.

Amy took a detour outside the Banyan Grove and pointed to an area with the most dense roots, and said to me, "Nathaniel hid him in the innermost part. ”

The three Hierro natives cut off the roots of the banyan tree hanging down in front of them one by one, Amy walked in the front and led us into the depths of this banyan forest, she climbed a big banyan tree with her dexterity, I wanted to look back at our joke, but I didn't expect that the three Hiero natives actually used the roots of these banyan trees to weave a soft ladder, and Ying Li and I climbed up from under the tree without much effort.

Surrounded by a swamp, this huge banyan tree, which covers an area of nearly one square kilometer, is a very secret place in this jungle, and on the top of this banyan tree is a very simple wooden house, which I think has no other function than to shelter from the rain, with two pieces of dried meat hanging from the walls, and a small bag of rice, a clay pot full of water, and a bed made of thin planks.

However, there are only a few bird paw prints on the outside of this wooden house, and no one has been here in recent times.

Standing in front of the wooden house, the girl Amy was in a depressed mood, and looked blankly at the furnishings of the house, she stayed in the house for a while, and then collected her mood, came out of the wooden house, and covered the bark door of the wooden house.

"They're not here!" said Amy, looking down in a depressed mood, lowered her head and whispered.

"Then go to the next place to look for it, this is only one place, and it is normal to have no gains. I walked over and patted Amy on the shoulder, encouraging her, "But then again, Nathaniel is a really good place to look, and I have a feeling that we're in the right direction." ”

"I hope so. With that, Amy climbed down the big banyan tree.

The Minotaur and Justus waited under the banyan tree, and for the Kraken Descendants and the Minotaur, neither of them liked to climb the tree very much, and when they saw us coming down from the tree empty-handed, they knew the result without asking.

So the minotaur once again hung the Angus Yutath brothers on the black iron spear, and very casually carried the two of them on their shoulders, Angus had white bone spurs stuck in each joint, although most of the wounds had healed, but the place where the bone spurs touched had begun to fester, and Angus was often in a coma along the way, and only when Su gave him healing prayers, he would wake up for a short time.

If you want to treat it, you need to pull out the bone spurs, remove the rotten flesh from the wound, and then let Su perform a 'healing prayer' to heal the wound.

"Wait, what the hell are you trying to do?" Yutath shouted hoarsely, hanging from the end of the black iron spear.

His tendons and tendons were broken by Katarina, and his body was trapped into a rice dumpling with ropes, which might soon be completely destroyed.

The Minotaur Ruka swung his fist and slammed it into Yutath's stomach, instantly swallowing all his words back into his stomach, and he hung on the black iron spear in a cold sweat, but he couldn't make any sound.

I stopped, stared coldly at the youngest and most powerful slave master in Strange Rock City, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he raised his head with difficulty, spat out a mouthful of blood, and said to me in a trembling voice: "You kidnapped me and Angus, you probably just want to take us around in circles in the swamp and rainforest here!"

Listening to his situation, he was still going around the bend when he spoke, and I waved my hand at Ruka, motioning for him to continue walking.

Seeing that I was about to cross Ruka and walk to the front of the group, Yutath finally couldn't help it and asked me loudly, "What do you need to do to let me go?"

I looked at him like him, smiled coldly at him, and remained silent.

Seeing that I didn't want to deal with him, he finally said in an almost pleading voice: "Wait a minute, Angus needs treatment, if he doesn't treat his wounds, he may die, how can we save Angus?"

At this time, all of us in the team stopped, turned to look at Yutasi, and I calmly asked Yutasi, "Then tell me, how can I find your men?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Yutasi's eyes, but in the end he gritted his teeth and said strongly:

"I don't know, and no one knows, no matter how many people a team of people walk into this swamp, don't try to find them until they come out again. ”

I walked back to him, and his wounds had healed, but he had suffered a lot in the past three days, and his spirit was a little sluggish.

"Why, don't you want to say it?" I asked him, "If you say it now, you might still have a chance to survive...... Otherwise, when I find them, you will no longer be needed, and perhaps I will learn the ritual of the lizard tribe and hang your brothers on a tree and dry them into dried bacon. ”

A cruel smile appeared on Yutasi's face, and he said to me forcefully:

"Try it, maybe you'll be the ones who turn into bacon jerky. ”

The second negotiation between me and Yutath ended hastily in a tough manner, and Yutasi regarded those men lurking in the jungle swamp as the last hole card for him and Angus to survive, and he refused to say it easily, and I did not force it.

I'm going to join up with the orcs of Karantso, and along the way, I'll search Nathaniel's hideout provided by Amy the 'guide', where Mentor Heidi and Morayar might be hiding.

Ruka, the Minotaur with a black iron spear on his shoulder, punched Yutath again, leaving him speechless.

......

After we walked into the jungle swamp, Amy's sense of direction became even worse.

She had no foreknowledge of danger.

Amy was standing in a mahogany woodland, the water level in the woods was very low, and in many places the wet mud was almost exposed, and some barramundi were swinging around in the mud puddles, breathing with their mouths wide open, and it looked like it hadn't rained in a long time, and the swamp was almost dry.

In my opinion, the climate in the rainforest is unique, this woodland is well ventilated, so the water evaporates quickly, and if it doesn't rain for a few days, the mud here will dry up.

The mangrove forest was not too easy to walk, and the El Hierro natives intended to take a detour around the dead woods, but Amy, the 'guide', thought we should go straight through the woods.

As it turned out, Amy made the wrong choice.

She stood in the woodland with a pale face, and the woodland was covered with the bones of all kinds of wild beasts, and she didn't know how many wild beasts were buried in this wood.

This proves that there is some kind of beast lurking in the woods, and Amy wants to go back the way she came.

Just as we hesitated to continue walking, or to go back the way we came, a dense patch of flower-legged blood mosquitoes suddenly gushed out from the depths of the forest.

This kind of gadfly is larger than the gadfly, the temperament is fierce, they belong to the social creatures, our team in a rubber woodland encountered this kind of flower-legged poisonous mosquito attack, a large group of flower-legged blood mosquitoes enough to hundreds of thousands, covering the sky and the sun rushed out of the woodland, from a distance, these poisonous mosquitoes are like clouds falling from the sky.

Without the high-level demonic beasts we guessed, the magic materials and magic crystals on the demonic beasts were all in vain, looking at these flower-legged blood mosquitoes, Ying Li was the first to lose his breath, and blasted a series of fireballs at the blood mosquito swarm.

I saw that these flower-legged blood mosquitoes were burned by the fireballs in pieces, but the blood mosquitoes in the back instantly filled the space in front.

We didn't even have time to get out of this woodland, and we were surrounded by these blood-legged mosquitoes.

All the members of the team quickly gathered together, and the minotaur tried to use his 'Ancient Oath' shield to drive away these flower-legged blood mosquitoes, but unfortunately these flower-legged blood mosquitoes were not afraid of death at all, and frantically pounced on Ruka, the minotaur was clumsy and couldn't stop it at all, many blood mosquitoes landed on the body of the minotaur Ruka, and were slapped to death by the minotaur, but more blood mosquitoes were too late to drive away, and they frantically pumped the blood from the minotaur's body.

The rest of the team is besieged by the Bloodmosquito.

However, everyone leaned together, and the blood mosquitoes rushed up, almost all of them were burned to ashes by Ying Li's 'Flame Impact' and Annie's 'Flame Sword', and they barely survived for the time being, but Ruka the Minotaur was tall and couldn't squeeze together with us, so he suffered a little.

Erica chanted an intricate spell, and then, a cool rain fell from the sky to drive away the blood mosquitoes, and we hurriedly withdrew from the woodland.

......

- I thought that the environment in the rainforest was difficult enough, but when we entered the swamp, we realized how comfortable the rainforest on the outskirts of Strange Rock City was.
