Not far from the inn is a swamp of water, and a little further away is a mangrove forest, with lush foliage and mist. Fang Yu got up from the ground, didn't care so much, and followed the others into the water.

The night was pitch dark, only faint starlight sprinkled from the forest, and the backs of the people in front of them were almost invisible, only the sound of rushing water could be heard from a distance. Momiji wasn't far from his left, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and in order to keep up with the others, she had put away the Annihilators—and they weren't likely to pose any threat to the dragon anyway.

In front of him was Attila, the elven girl with her bow and spear on her back, and from time to time she glanced back at Fang Ou, concerned about whether he was in trouble.

This made Fang Yu slightly flattered.

A little farther away were Luo Yu and Paparal, the latter struggling in chest-deep water—only to him, of course. The tall trainee walked up to him, crouched down, and motioned with his hand for the latter to come to his back.

Parker complained a word or two that Paparals were also dignified, but they still climbed up honestly.

As for the first to enter the water, Tianlan, Jita and Hudi and their party are estimated to have entered the redwood forest, and their shadows are no longer visible in that direction, only a diffuse fog.

Sylvid and her maid Shesta didn't know where they had run for a long time, so they couldn't help but let Fang Ou scold him twice, this master and servant really ran faster than rabbits.

At the back of the line were Wu Di and Liyue, who were still complaining loudly, mostly about the dragon that 'deserved to go to hell'. He chattered until Momiji couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Enough, you're not done-"

Liyue moved her mouth to refute, but Wu Di added, "Don't say it." He stopped his mouth very unwillingly, and only glared at Momiji angrily.

Fang Ou looked in the direction of the mound again. The people of the Red Fire Guild didn't seem to be dead yet, and suddenly there was a light in the darkness, and the dragon in the distance spat out golden flames, and the fire swept across the entire mound, reflecting on the water, like a burning island.

The dragon paced through the flames, as if looking for a fish that had slipped through the net, and then suddenly it looked up and looked in this direction. From a distance of hundreds of meters, Fang Yu could also see that the eyes that flashed with golden red light were looking at him.

Then it spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Fang Yu knew that it was coming.

He immediately turned around and involuntarily quickened his pace, but it wasn't easy to advance in the deep water, the mud wrapped around his feet, and the water soaked the alchemist's robes, as if a few hands were dragging him down.

Fang Plover pushed the water splash and struggled forward, separating the roots of the aquatic plants from the mangroves. Countless insects on the water spread out in all directions, most of them fluorescent, and they looked beautiful in the dark, but he didn't want to appreciate them.

Because he knew that there might be mud pits lurking underwater, some of which were naturally formed, but others had other 'owners'. Fang Yu couldn't help but think of some terrifying scenes, as if he would fall into quicksand the next moment, and the rotting aquatic plants in the water were dragging his ankles down.

Beneath the sinking surface of the water were white bones, and pale and swollen faces, like corpses soaked in formalin. One of the faces had its eyes open, white like translucent eggs, and something was breaking out of its shell.

A few swimming fish slid past his feet, which frightened Fang Yu into a cold sweat, and then he came to his senses. Knowing that he had fallen for the dragon's trick again, the dark dragon has its own fear aura, which can infinitely amplify the dark side of people's hearts, as long as there is a slight flaw in their hearts, it will take advantage of the void to enter, which has a miraculous effect for low-level characters like them.

There was already the sound of whirring wind behind me, and a layer of ripples gradually appeared on the water.

"Separate runs." Wu Di suddenly whispered.

This is undoubtedly the best way to go.

At this moment, several trainees were already at the front, basically out of danger. And it is obviously unlikely that they will all survive, and it is the best choice to leave them to their fate, at least to ensure that they will not be caught all together.

Everyone nodded, raised their heads and looked at each other, although they had not known each other for a long time, they could be regarded as fighting side by side.

"Take care, little brother, remember to come to our guild," Momiji glanced at Fang Yuan, and before he could say more, he sent a communication code. "Here's my communication ID, good luck—"

With that, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness, leaving behind the sound of water.

"Remember, we're not done yet," Liyue said to him, "Don't think you'll control the goblins, I'm afraid of you, I'll be waiting for you at the Spear of the Silver Forest." ”

Fang Yu chewed this sentence carefully, only to find that this guy was also a goblin, but just like Tianlan said, he would not go to the spear of the Silver Forest, and he would not go if he was killed, so he refused.

Wu Di remained silent, and glanced at him with dead fish eyes. It's just that Fang Yu always feels that the other party's eyes have a deep meaning when they look at themselves.

It's like looking at a fish waiting to be slaughtered on a chopping board -

The figures of the two also drifted apart.

Fang Yu turned his head and said to Attila on the side, "Miss Attila, let's separate first. ”

Attila looked at him, didn't refuse, and nodded. Fang Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the gentle, understanding eyes in the dark, if it was Miss Silk Cape, he would have a high probability of taking a hand knife just now.

But the elven girl just put away her spear and walked in the other direction. Before leaving, he turned back to him and said, "Be careful, Eddard. ”

Fang Yu always felt that Attila looked at him very familiarly, which reminded him of his days on earth, his aunt and uncle, and that annoying cousin.

Silence reigned all around, save only the chirping of insects.

A line of cross waves rose on the surface of the water, surging forward, and Fang Yu hurriedly grabbed the root branch on the side before he could barely stand firm. A black shadow swept overhead, blowing the redwood forest to the ground.

The dragon was circling, and Fang Plover knew it was identifying a target. He knew in his heart that it must be himself, and subconsciously covered the back of his hand with his hand.

Not far away on the water, clusters of glowing crystals hung from under the cage-like roots of a mangrove tree, illuminating the surroundings.

At first glance, it looks like Guy, a floating crystal that can be found everywhere in the world of Aitalia, but it's actually the first fin and glowing flap of the swamp anglerfish, which is a rare big creature in the low-level swamps.

Twenty-two, extremely good at mimicry, with no weaknesses other than slowness. As long as it was within five to seven meters, it was almost certain to die, but fortunately, Fang Yu recognized this thing.

He walked around the other side in fear.

Even on the outskirts of the Traveler's Swamp, it is fraught with danger.

He didn't know when the dragon would fly back, but it would definitely come back. From the moment Wu Di proposed to act separately, Fang Yu understood this result, and for others, this was destined to be a thrilling adventure.

And for him-

That's nine deaths, or even ten deaths.

He was cautiously walking deeper into the mangroves, hoping to find a glimmer of life in the thick forest, and the dragon appeared in this area, thinking that although it was the leader, it was not too high-level.

No matter how much it is, it is only a part of the dragon, or even a stump of power.

When Fang Yu was thinking nonsense, in his eyes, a line of prompts suddenly appeared on the system window:

"ID-064212215H apply to be your contact."

Fang Yu was slightly stunned.

Hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, there was a verification message underneath: "I know who you are, Ed-"

Looking down further, the signature is Wu Di. Fang Yu almost fell into the water one by one, and at this moment he understood how reliable the old saying was—a dog that bites doesn't bark.

No wonder the other party looked at him with that kind of look before.

He was six gods and no master, and suddenly a gunshot came from a distance behind him, which was the direction in which Wu Di and the others left. Fang Yu turned his head and suddenly realized what the other party was doing, and the other party was luring the dragon away.

It's a pity that he can't laugh or cry.

It's useless.

Wu Di withdrew the smoking handcuff in his hand, and was also a little surprised. He had shot the dragon in the right flank, and the lead bullet had sent a long spark on it, but the other man hadn't even looked at him, and flew straight north.

That's the direction Fang Yu left—

Fang Yu also saw the dragon, after all, the latter's huge body and unique golden-red pupils were hard not to notice above the night sky. It swooped in this direction after a magnificent turn over the redwood forest.

At that moment, Fang Yu only felt that the mark on the back of his hand was hot and red, but he didn't care so much, so he turned around and ran.

The dragon spread its wings and drew a straight line from above the redwood forest, pulling two golden flames from behind the wings, and sparks rained down from the sky, falling on the top of the redwood forest and burning into a single piece.

The whole swamp seemed to be ignited, and it became bright.

There was another long howl.

It was as if the water was boiling and shaking.

The elf puppet controlled by Miss Tata sits on Fang Yuan's shoulder, holding his collar tightly with her small hands. Running with Fang Yuan, her silver hair swept over the latter's face from time to time, and it was at this time that Tata suddenly said, "Be careful! ”

Fang Yu actually saw a fleeting magical reaction above through her perception - how could there be other people in the forest? As soon as the thought occurred to him, a figure jumped down from the branch and pounced on him.

Fang Yu only felt a pair of strong hands grasp his throat, and pressed his head with one hand, and violently pressed himself under the water. The earthy smell of water poured from all directions, and before the square plover could react, he choked on a mouthful of water.

Someone is going to kill him?

He tensed up, trying to raise his head as hard as he could, and it was at this moment that the dragon flew down from the sky. A bright flash of light bloomed from the back of Fang Yuan's hand, forming a huge hemispherical shield, not only causing the dragon to crash headfirst into the shield, but also pushing the man who was holding him down at the same time.

Fang Yu looked back and saw the person's appearance clearly.

A masked Assassin with a strange top hat with a hood on his head was pushed out of the way by the force field and slammed into a tree.

On the other side, the dragon was not lightly injured, and was still shaking its huge head. The feeling of swooping down from a height of dozens of meters and hitting a wall is not small, and you can understand it when you think about it.

Fang Yu looked at his hand, and the half of the crown mark had dimmed again, but he at least understood now that it was not in the same group as them.

He glanced at the two fellows, one big and one small, covered the mark with his hand, turned and ran in the other direction.

The Assassin reacted first, grabbed the roots of the tree and climbed up, and chased it from the canopy of the mangrove tree in this direction, stepping on the branches of the mangrove forest. Fang Ou kept looking back to see the distance between the other party and himself, and the magic furnace behind the assassin was clearly in motion, and the crystals on his boots and gloves were glowing, making him walk on the ground between the branches.

From time to time, he still grabbed the vine and flew forward, like Tarzan of the apes.

Climbing gloves and balance boots –

There are not many people who can use these two weapons well, even among the assassins, there is no one in ten. However, being targeted by such a little master, Fang Yu couldn't be happy.

He suddenly remembered what Sky Blue had said to him during the day, among the people in the eldest sister's head, there was a very powerful assassin.

That little French girl is really a super crow's mouth.

He ran forward without his life, and in front of him was a lonely mangrove tree standing in the water, and the surrounding area was already caught in a raging sea of fire, and the dragon flame even burned directly on the surface of the water, which had endured for a long time.

The light of the fire overshadowed everything, dragging the shadow of the caged root for a long time.

Fang Plover estimated the distance.

The Assassin finally came above him and swooped forward, and the Owl jerked to a halt, just enough for the other to pounce into the pool in front of him.

He watched as the man fell into the water, and with a 'whoop', a column of water was stirred up.

He can give the person a maximum of three points for the position of entering the water, and it can't be higher.

The Assassin managed to get back to his feet, but looked at Fang Yu with some confusion, who didn't run, and waved his hand at him.

"Farewell." Fang Yu shouted.

Then turn around and run.

The Assassin was slightly stunned as he scooped up his top hat, poured out the water inside, and put it back on his head. And it was at this time that a huge shadow hung over him from behind him.

He looked back, and all he saw was a huge mouth that opened open—a swamp anglerfish.

And the dense and sharp teeth, like a whirlpool.

“MMP！”

These were the Assassin's last lines.

However, Fang Yu was not much better than him, and he had not run far before he discovered another problem-this direction was the way he came, which was closer to the 'Traveler's Rest' inn.

And when he turned around, he saw a huge shadow emerging from the edge of the mangrove forest.

The dragon had already chased after him.

Fang Yu froze in place.

Nicol Bolas's remnant craned his neck and looked condescendingly at the tiny human, his mouth wide open and a mocking smile on his face.

And the only remaining golden red eye, containing the light of victory, raised its claws, and a huge shadow enveloped the square plover.

"There's really only one life left." Fang Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and thought to himself.

But it's precisely this time.

A bright light suddenly pierced the darkness, striking the dragon in the chest.

The latter let out an earth-shattering roar, and his entire upper body rose up and fell backwards. It crashed into the water with a thud, then rolled and struggled to its feet, gasping and staring angrily ahead with its golden-red eyes.

A low roar came from his throat, and for the first time, he said, "It's you again, Huyod!" ”

The voice was a neutral, low female voice, full of unforgettable hatred.

Fang Yu turned his head unexpectedly, just in time to see a tall figure walking out of the mist, holding a slender sword in his hand.

It was the innkeeper - Mazak.
