Black Forest Zone VIII, Wetlands. The air here is humid, the environment is cold, and the fog is shrouded, and it is a perennial sunshine area. The magical creatures living here are constantly evolving to adapt to the environment, and most of them are water or dark attributes, but there are many magical creatures of wind, wood, and earth attributes. Due to the cold and gloomy places in the eighth district, there are also ice-type magical creatures, but there are not many of them.

Yu Jingjing said that most of the magical creatures in the eighth district have a star level of less than four, and there are also those with a star of five, and they have never seen a star of six. "In recent years, there have been subtle changes in the distribution of magical creatures, and some high-star magical creatures have gradually appeared in the habitats of low-star magical creatures. ”

"Like a night ghost?" I asked.

"That must be artificial. Ma Chao replied.

"Most likely," Yu Jingjing said, "just like the class division of our magicians, the star division of magical creatures also has a certain basis. Stars 1 to 3 are low, stars 4 to 6 are medium, and 7 or above are high. ”

"There has never been a ten-level magician in the wizarding world, so has there ever been a ten-level magical creature among the magical creatures?" I asked.

"The Illustrated Book of Magical Creatures does not contain any magical creatures with a star ten. I think, like the Supreme Magi, the legendary magical creature is just an illusory existence. ”

"Then again," I asked Charlie, who was running on my back, and Yu Jingjing, who was running with a bamboo stick, "Ma Chao came here under the instructions of Dean Fang." Charlie and Yu Jingjing, why are you here?"

"I was doing a mission in the security zone, and I happened to meet Dean Fang, so I helped her. Yu Jingjing said.

"Originally, I wanted to take a magical biology class, but I missed it because I didn't read the information. Since you are out of the paradise and it is inconvenient to go back to trouble the master, it is better to come to the Black Forest to find a powerful magical creature to face off. ”

So he met us. Hearing that we were coming to save you, Charlie went with him without saying a word. Yu Jingjing answered.

Hot-blooded boy - this is youth.

"It's good to challenge the strong, but do what you can. "I advise Charlie.

"I have faced off with tigress many times, failed many times, and I am self-aware. "Joan's horror is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"By the way, next time you have time, you can come and face them down. "I'm referring to the magical creature friend I just made, the Shadow Frogmen.

"Gollum?"

After my confrontation with the Shadow Frogmen, they seemed to regard me as a friend and were willing to help me save Xiao Hui. Of course, this is my own understanding.

Yu Jingjing said that the Shadow Frogmen do have a battle ritual, but it is not a battle of life and death, but a duel to determine which is stronger and which is weak. By the time I put away my wand and grasped their sticks, their hostility had waned. When I saved their people, they thought I was a rare good person—and that's my own understanding.

One thing that proves that the Shadow Frogmen don't see me as an enemy is the gift of the Kebilak Fruit. "After all, it's something worth a thousand sock coins. Ma Chao said.

However, Yu Jingjing said that in the future, don't take their weapons in the Shadow Frogmen's battle rituals. "It is recorded in the book that it is a shame for the Shadow Frogmen to be robbed of their weapons during a battle ritual, so neither side of the battle will snatch the other's combat tools. Snatching their weapons and throwing them out of the arena like you did is a great shame for them, and it will naturally make the Shadow Frogmen furious. ”

"I have a good apology. yes, goo. ”

Quack is the name I give to my opponent. I don't know if he understands the meaning of the name, but in the end it seems to be gladly accepted. Now, Gollum and his three companions are following us. During the battle ceremony, the croaking speed was not fast, but after the ceremony, the croaking was like the shadow frogman I had seen before, scurrying around in the fog, looming.

The enemy we are about to face is the Swamp Witch, a dark magical creature of Star 4. Yu Jingjing said that there are not many descriptions of swamp witches in the "Magical Creatures Illustrated Book".

"The first point is that the swamp witch lives in a self-built swamp hut and rarely goes out. The second point is that the swamp witch does not like to get involved in the affairs of the magician, but she will charge a corresponding price for responding to people's needs. Thirdly, the Swamp Witch can make her own potions, and her potion power is inferior to that of the pharmacists among the magicians, but some of the potions made can reach a level that many people cannot reach. Fourth, the Swamp Witch is afraid of fire and light, and if someone uses fire or light magic in front of it, the Swamp Witch will avoid it or attack wildly. ”

"So, you can't act rashly. Ma Chao was referring to Charlie.

"Thunder magic can also make heat and light, right?" I asked Yu Jingjing.

"Many swamp witches know thunder magic and are not afraid. ”

"When facing the night ghosts, you can use thunder magic. Although the effect is not significant, you can make light and heat, and you can also electrocute them half to death. ”

Yu Jingjing took Ma Chao's words: "That also depends on the situation." Like a transformed star five-night ghost, he is not even afraid of flames. However, as long as you have enough magic and the magic you unleash is strong, any kind of elemental magic has the potential to destroy magical creatures with high stars. ”

"The fog has dissipated......" vision became clear.

Led by the Shadow Frogmen, we walked through the woods, and the swampy area came into view.

It's daytime, but it's like nightfall. In the faint light, I could see the swamp overgrown with weeds. The swampy ground was muddy, and it seemed to show a pattern that the further you went, the more you went. From a distance, a wooden hut built on top of the dirt is probably the destination of our trip.

"The periphery is water, swim over?" Ma Chao asked.

"Water magic. Yu Jingjing said.

"You will, we won't. ”

"Magic Tools. Yu Jingjing took out a sealing talisman.

"I've given it all to the guy in the house. Ma Chao pointed to the swamp hut.

"I only have one. "Yu Jingjing has nothing to do with herself.

"Yi Jia and ......"

"I won't use it, and I didn't bring it. Charlie, is there one?"

"Nope. ”

Yu Jingjing turned around and scolded: "As a magician, you don't have any preparations, how can you be promoted?"

"I've got magic equipment, and I'm in the dormitory. Ma Chao said.

"Perseverance, determination. Charlie replied so well that I don't know if it works.

How should I answer?

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. ”

Yu Jingjing covered her forehead and said, "Whoever wants to go, I will give the magic talisman to whom." ”

Ma Chao retreated, Charlie did not move, and I had no choice on Charlie's back.

"Wait any longer, and Xiao Hui will become a potion material for the swamp witch. ”

After saying that, Yu Jingjing raised the sealing talisman and read: "The water of life can save the common people from the top, and it can be unblocked in all directions." Floating in the water, standing on the ground, water and the earth, one. ”

Yu Jingjing threw the sealing talisman into the water, and the sealing talisman disappeared.

"I'll go first, you love to come or not. ”

Yu Jingjing stepped forward, but stepped into the water. Although she only stepped on the shallow water, the magician of the fifth rank failed to cast a spell, and the scene was very embarrassing.

"Poof, haha......" Ma Chao looked up to the sky and laughed.

Yu Jingjing turned around and lifted her soaked foot and struck Ma Chao on the leg.

"I click......" Ma Chao covered his legs and showed a one-legged jump on the spot.

"It stands to reason that a fifth-class magician wouldn't make such a small mistake. What's wrong?" Charlie's words did not incur a kick from Yu Jingjing.

"Yes. Yu Jingjing squatted down and dipped her fingers in some water, put it in her mouth and licked it, and said, "The water quality is wrong." The water here has been enchanted, and we won't be able to use water magic to get to the swamp hut anytime soon. ”

Looking at the wooden house with lights on from afar, Yu Jingjing clenched her fists and gritted her teeth and said, "Damn, blame me for being careless." ”

"If you can't use water magic to cross the swamp, does the swamp witch swim through?"

With that, I asked Charlie to take me around and take a look. Sure enough, I found a boat on the water near the cabin.

"Ma Chao, Yu Jingjing, there is a boat there. I held out my hand and instructed.

"Your eyesight has become so good that you can see so far without glasses?"

Ignoring Ma Chao's question, I said to the two of them, "Can you use wind magic or other magic to get the boat over?"

"It's too far to do it. Yu Jingjing stood on tiptoe and said anxiously.

"Even the Wind Mage of the fifth level said no, let alone me, the third level of the third level. ”

I thought I could get to the swamp hut by finding transportation, which was really ......

"Quack?"

The Shadow Frogman jumps out. God help me.

"We can let the Shadow Frogmen swim us through. "I'm thrilled that I've come up with this brilliant solution.

"I still have to swim through. Ma Chao looked disappointed.

Yu Jingjing slapped Ma Chao and said, "With the shadow frogman as a guarantee, at least we won't drown in the swamp." ”

I asked Charlie to put me down, patted him on the wet shoulder in front of the Shadow Frogman and said, "Gollum, please." ”

"Gollum—"

The Shadow Frogman let out a long cry and then fell to the ground, looking in pain.

"Are you alright?"

Pain-holding, I wanted to lean over to check on the goo.

"Wait a minute," Yu Jingjing stopped me, "It's okay, it's a change of form, and it's estimated that it will be upgraded to become a shadow frogman of star four." ”

After changing his form, Gollum is more human-like, with a strong body and solid abs.

"Quack. ”

Gollum said to me in a powerful voice, then motioned for me to lean on his back.

Four mages and four shadow frogmen, just the right number.

"Gollum—"

As if announcing the order to dispatch, Gollum rushed out first. I closed my eyes and held my breath as I prepared to dive into the swamp, but I heard the sound of a "popping" splash.

When I opened my eyes, I was surprised to find that Gollum was running on the surface of the lake at a very fast speed, and in a matter of seconds, it brought me to the ground where I could stand.

Some time later, the Shadow Frogmen with three mages also arrived.

"Wet temptation......" Ma Chao stared at Yu Jingjing and was slapped mercilessly by Yu Jingjing.

With Charlie's help, the trio's wet clothes dried.

"It's also convenient to have a fire mage around. Alas, if only my boyfriend were a fire magician. ”

"Wind magician is not bad, help you dry ......" Yu Jingjing glared at Ma Chao, and Ma Chao shut up.

"You won't get wet if you use wind magic in the first place, right?"

Yu Jingjing didn't care if I looked at her, and said, "There will be magical creatures flying in the air in the Black Forest. There are also such dimly lit swampy areas as above. Although there is no one in this area, I can't say for sure. ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"Steelbladed crow. If you rush into the air and encounter them, you will be split in two by them. After all, for many magical creatures of birds, the air is their domain. Ma Chao answered me with tears in his eyes.

"Gollum!"

The shadow frogmen who laid us down seemed to notice something terrible and jumped into the water one after another. Gollum didn't leave us, but his face was wrong.

"Goo, go back. Thank you for your help. ”

I tapped my friend on the shoulder. He understood, turned and jumped into the water.

"What could be something that would scare even the shadow frogmen of Star Four?" I wondered.

"It's the smell of some kind of herb burning...... It seems to be Soul Breaker Grass. ”

I closed my eyes and sniffed like Yu Jingjing, and there was indeed a subtle smell in the damp and rancid air.

"The smell of Soul Breaker is harmless to mages, but it is an existence that magical creatures need to be avoided. This plant is difficult to obtain, I didn't expect the swamp witch to have ......," Yu Jingjing said, leading the way up the steps of the wooden house.

"Wait, is it okay for us to go in so openly?" Ma Chao asked.

"Adaptable. Yu Jingjing stared at one more step.

Ma Chao had no choice but to follow, and Charlie, who supported me, fell last.

"Crunch", the screeching sound of the door opening.

Looking down at the steps, I heard Yu Jingjing shouting Xiao Hui's name. Immediately looking up, I saw that Yu Jingjing had entered the wooden house, and Ma Chao was tiptoeing behind.

In the light of candles, the rooms of the swamp hut take on an orange background. Medicine pots, beakers, test tubes...... Here's what you're going to use in the lab. skulls, taxidermy, medicinal liquor soaked in strange things...... Something that can be seen in the dissection room is also available here. The inside of the hut is larger than it looks from the outside, but it has a rather cramped feel under the chaotic arrangement of all kinds of strange things.

Xiao Hui collapsed on the floor of the swamp hut - there was only Xiao Hui in the room, and there was no swamp witch in sight.

"Xiao Hui ......," Yu Jingjing patted Xiao Hui's face to wake him up.

"Crystal ......"

Xiao Hui, who was wearing the Dalai crystal, sat up with the help of Yu Jingjing, and then found that the goddess of his dream was on the side. So, he turned around and stepped back again and again, and asked, "Classmate Yu Jingjing, why are you here?"

"Hey, why don't you ask me why I'm here?" Ma Chao squatted down next to Xiao Hui and asked him, "Where is the swamp witch?"

"Ah," Xiao Hui remembered something, and said to us after checking his body in a panic to make sure that it was okay, "I was captured by the swamp witch to test the medicine. ”

"Test?"

"Yes, it's in that pot. Xiao Hui pointed to the medicine pot.

Yu Jingjing got up to investigate, and dipped her fingers slightly in the medicinal soup in the pot as she had tested the water quality before.

"Yu Jingjing, it's very dangerous to taste unknown things with your mouth so directly. I finally said it, but I was ignored by Yu Jingjing, who was thinking about it.

After tasting the medicine, she searched around for something, and after seeing what seemed to be the ashes of the broken intestine grass, she said to herself, "Why does a swamp witch of star four have such a thing?"

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Jingjing replied to Ma Chao: "What is in the pot is the soup that forgets worries, which can erase people's memories." ”

"I, I remember I took a sip and then fainted. Xiao Hui said.

"The taste is wrong, this soup shouldn't be perfect—it's not so easy to make a potion that can erase people's memories. ”

"Xiao Hui, do you know where the swamp witch is?" asked Charlie.

Xiao Hui shook his head, and Ma Chao replied: "This kind of question still needs to be said: it must be to collect the missing medicinal materials." Right, student representatives?"

"It is recorded in the "Encyclopedia of Magic Potion Recipes" that the final ingredient of the finished Forgotten Worry Soup is the marrow fluid of the Forgotten Memory. This place should not stay for a long time, we have to evacuate with Xiao Hui as soon as possible. ”

Yu Jingjing, who was about to support Xiao Hui, was rejected by this dizzy boy, so she didn't care much about it and left the hut again first.

"We just set the hut on fire. As he walked down the steps, Ma Chao glanced at Charlie.

"Be forgiving and forgiving. The victim Xiao Hui said.

We were standing at the water's edge, and I shouted to the other side: "Quack, quack, ......" and the other shore did not respond.

"By the way, the swamp witch is out, why is her ship here?" Ma Chao asked.

"Something is wrong," Yu Jingjing said, "The Soul Breaking Grass in the hut has been burned, why is there a smell of Soul Breaking Grass here again?"

As if to answer Yu Jingjing's question, there was a sound of broken thoughts in front of us. There was a figure swaying in the aquatic plants, and by the light of the lantern in its hand, we could see the appearance of the comer: a black coat, with scattered black hair, and a black face.
