Chapter 337: The Swamp

Walk through the upwind trail that has been blown by dry winds for countless years. Vane and the others came to the dense and humid swamp of sorrow.

"Damn. Vane, I really shouldn't have agreed to venture here. Barka shook his water-soaked boots as he complained to Vane in front of him.

As the broken Barka was guarded by Teddy's side, he didn't need to pay too much attention to the situation around him, and he kept talking about various things in his mouth when he was bored along the way.

"I remember when I first mentioned it, you were very excited." Vane carefully observed his surroundings as he walked, in case some kind of beast suddenly rushed out of the dense vegetation around them and ambushed them.

"Yes, but I thought we were just walking on the same road as we did in the swamp of the wetlands, and who knew that we would have to walk around the swamps full of water, and now my clothes are soaking wet." Barka continued to grumble to Vane in front of him.

"So what are you going to do? Go back now? Vane asked rhetorically, ignoring Barka's complaints.

"Go back, how is it possible, we are all already here. If you go back, won't all your efforts be wasted? As soon as Barka heard Vane's words, he immediately retorted.

"Then don't complain." Vane said helplessly.

"But if I don't say anything, I'll be bored." Barka continued.

"Wait." At this moment, Valeera, who was walking in the front, suddenly waved her hand backwards, causing the whole team to stop.

"What's wrong?" Vane and the others immediately took two quick steps, and Barka took the lead in coming to Valeera's side and asked.

"An improvised trap, it looks like it was set up by the orcs who had retreated into the swamp. However, unlike the previous ones, this trap has not yet been triggered by adventurers. Valera took a closer look at the structure of the trap, pulled a clump of grass from the ground next to it, and threw it into the center of the trap along with the muddy water from the grass roots.

With a bang, several sharp branches shot out of the cracks in the surrounding trees and were nailed into the water-filled swamp through the clump of grass that Valeera had thrown.

"How many traps are these goddamn greenskins?" Looking at the trap in front of them, and thinking about the various swamp animals and adventurers they had seen in the trap along the way, Barka began to curse the orcs again: "I heard that some time ago there was a group of fat people who were with those orcs. Rushing through Lakeside Town's defenses, heading in the direction of the Blackstone Tower. ”

"I know that, too. But it has nothing to do with us. Valera glanced at Barka who hadn't stopped talking along the way.

To tell the truth, that is, the strength of their group is good, and there is a fierce teddy by their side, otherwise with the constant noise of Barka, they would have been attacked by those beasts in the swamp. It still roams the Everglades as calmly as it does now, looking for the temple that Vane spoke of.

A few more days passed, and early in the morning, Vane used another prophecy and projected a map of the surrounding area, allowing everyone to see how close they were to their target.

"Looks like we will be able to arrive today. After this adventure, I said I would never venture into this place again. Anna spoke first, but her tone was flat, but her words were full of disgust at wandering in the swamp.

"yes." Kalia also agreed at this time: "The swamp is not only those large predators, but also those small insects. Even though we have spells, those little bugs can't do anything to us, but just seeing their strange appearance is a little creepy. ”

"yes, yes." After Kalia's words fell, Barka nodded his head with his hands around his chest, and said in agreement.

"Uh." Vane heard their conversation and immediately understood how they had taken their approach to the adventure in the Swamp. So he answered: "Okay, after this time, we will also venture in a big swamp like Dao in the future, so it's okay." ”

"Of course, that's great, you should have said it earlier." As soon as Barka heard Vane's words, he jumped up on the spot, fearing that Vane would change his mind again, so he immediately agreed.

Seeing Barka's appearance, Vane suddenly felt a little sorry. He didn't know that Barka and Anna, as well as Kalia, were so resistant to the Swamp trip. As for Valeera, Vane turned his head to look at her, not seeing anything on her face, but she probably didn't want to take the risk. After all, they now have Onexia to help take care of the food produced in the Floating City, and they can make much more money than they can get from their adventures. For Valeera's character, it's normal to stay out of danger if you have enough money.

However, they didn't get far before Vane stopped thinking about it, because they had already encountered the enemy.

"Trolls?" Following Valeera, Vane and the others gently brushed aside the dense vegetation that obscured their vision, and through the cracks in the dense forest, they saw a few trolls roaming the edge of a huge lake in the distance.

"Looks like something is wrong." Anna looked at the trolls in front of her and frowned, "Not to mention the torn linen bandages that these trolls are tied to, are their bodies too shriveled?" ”

Due to the distance, it was not very clear to see, so Anna only noticed a little bit wrong.

"There's no sign of any life around here." After Anna finished speaking, Kalia also spoke up about her discovery.

"Is there anything wrong with that? Where there are trolls, of course, there will be no other animals, otherwise they will be eaten by the trolls. Barka immediately asked in confusion when he heard Kaliya's words.

"It's not a problem if it's just animals, but it's not just animals here, but even the bugs everywhere don't have any trace at all, isn't it?" When Kalia heard Barka's puzzlement, she immediately said what she felt was wrong.

"That's a problem." As soon as Kalia finished speaking, and before Barka could speak again, Vane frowned and looked at the surrounding forest, which was indeed too quiet. This situation can no longer be described as quiet, but should be described as silence. It was as if there were no living creatures around except for a few of them.
