The depths of the Dust Swamp are an unexplored place, and few adventurers explore inside, because the deeper the place, the smellier it becomes, and it is rumored that there are little-known treasures in the depths of the Dust Swamp, but what is inside, and who has seen it, there is no way to verify, and even the Explorers Guild does not recommend members to explore here.

The infected crocodile is located in the southern part of the sedimentary swamp, Chen Zhuo and others rented a carriage and drove directly from the west gate of Theramore, Wukong entered the jungle in a carriage for the first time, and it was also the first time to go on a mission, it grew up in the Eastern Kingdom and had never seen the creatures of Kalimdor, and looked around in surprise.

The group had been on the road all morning, and when it was close to noon, Marcus found a place to stop the carriage, let everyone rest, took out his map, looked around, and nodded silently. During the field mission, Chen Zhuo and Charles never questioned Marcus's choice, and every time they asked where we were, of course, Marcus would use more professional words to describe their position at this time, although they didn't understand, but at least they were much more relieved. But this time, Marcus's words attracted Chen Zhuo's attention.

"We have just arrived in the northeast of the ruins of the mallets, and in the afternoon we have arrived at the mission site by walking south around the ruins of the mallets, as if there are several populations of crocodiles infected over there on the edge of the southern swamp."

Chen Zhuo asked, "Southern Marsh?" What is this place name? Haven't heard of it? ”

"To the east of Mudchain Town, it's all swampland, and there are no powerful beasts in it, and there's no development value, so few people go."

"Huh? Show me the map. ”

Marcus didn't know why Chen Zhuo was so serious about the Southern Swamp this time, so he handed the map to Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo stared at the map for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Oh! Isn't this Southern Swamp the Dragon Swamp!? ”

Marcus replied with a smile, "Dragon Swamp? What is that place? Ha, is there a dragon in it? ”

Chen Zhuo looked at Marcus with a playful look on his face and replied, "Yes, there is a dragon in it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Marcus's face suddenly drooped, and then immediately said: "No, no, Chen, don't scare me, if there is a dragon, how can President Caesar give us this task." ”

Chen Zhuo thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the reason, at this time, the naughty Wukong jumped down from the tree, still holding an apple in his hand, Marcus saw it and said, "Oh? And apples in this place? ”

Wukong nodded while nibbling on the apple, pointing to the bushes in the distance, and Marcus quickly said, "Charles, you follow ...... What's this monkey's name? Yes, Wukong, you go and pick the apple with Wukong. ”

"Okay, Brother Marcus." Charles took Naxi to follow Wukong to pick apples, Avril as an elf likes to eat fruits, and after obtaining Chen Zhuo's consent, Bonnie saw that everyone was gone, so he came over and got tired of Chen Zhuo's side, of course, Marcus was used to this scene.

"I said, Chen, do you know something?"

Hearing Marcus's question, Chen Zhuo thought for a while and replied, "As far as I know, there should be dragons in this southern swamp, and it is a giant dragon and a black dragon, if there is no mistake, it should be Onexia's lair!" ”

"Impossible! Onexia fled to Northrend after the last time she did anything wrong in Stormwind, and it has been a long time since she heard from it, and if this is really her lair, the King of Stormwind will not let her go! Moreover, dragons are very powerful creatures, and they generally live in large forests, and humans are forbidden to enter. ”

"It makes sense, but in my mind...... It looks like there will be little dragon cubs here. ”

"Oh? Really, it's actually possible that you say this, the words of the little dragon cub will not be noticed by those big people, and the strength will be average, but why is it in this place? If we encounter it, it may be a good thing, you must know that a dragon cub on the black market is sky-high, let alone the black market, and you don't have to worry about selling a big nobleman in the next life. ”

"Doesn't it mean that the vitality of the dragon is great and will be noticed by the big guys? Wouldn't the dragons themselves be aware? ”

"Well, it turns out that you don't know this Chen. If there is no dragon blood baptism, the baby dragon will survive for hundreds or even thousands of years before it grows up slowly, and the longer the dragon, the longer the dragon, the longer it will take. ”

"Oh, I see."

Marcus answered Chen Zhuo's doubts, thought for a moment and continued: "In this way, let's walk along the edge of the southern swamp, and if there are strange creatures approaching, Riston (Hearthstone Hound) will tell us. ”

Chen Zhuo nodded, Charles ran back at this time, there were too many apples, so he used his clothes to pick up: "Hey! Brother Marcus, Brother Chen! We found a lot of apples, enough to eat all the way! ”

Marcus smiled, took out the bacon, lit a fire, and several people talked and laughed and ate a full lunch.

Contaminated crocodiles are darker than normal crocodiles, and their armor is harder, which can be distinguished by the naked eye. After entering the Southern Swamp, the group has been marching along the edge of the swamp under the leadership of Marcus, and there are traces of firefights everywhere, such as broken dead trees, wilted grass, one after another, as if the warlock had cleared it with chaotic crops.

Soon after the group marched, several purple-black crocodiles were seen in the middle of a foul-smelling swampy pool, gnawing together on a normal crocodile that had died, and the white crocodile eggs beside it.

Marcus lowered his body, looked left and right, and said: "It seems that these infected crocodiles will attack their own kind, this normal crocodile is outnumbered, but in order to protect its eggs, it is very irrational to choose to hit the stone with an egg." The terrain wasn't very good for combat, and we had to figure out a way to lure them out. ”

Marcus fell into deep thought after speaking, and Chen Zhuo was also thinking of a way, silently the two glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Charles together. "Hey, I said Brother Marcus, Brother Chen, what do you two think of me?"

(After a while)

Charles held a black object as he cautiously stepped into the swamp, fearing that the dirty mud would sink him in. Marcus told him that he was defending against war and was the best choice to lure the snake out of the hole, so he made him an earth bomb, which could successfully provoke the crocodile, seeing that Chen Zhuo had not spoken beside him, so Charles agreed with suspicion, but when he stepped in, he realized that it was so muddy inside, no wonder Marcus, who was a survival hunter, was reluctant to come.

Charles took a few steps inside, estimated the distance, and threw it in the direction of the crocodile, and the earth bomb cut a perfect parabola in the air, and the crocodiles were startled by the black object that burst in, and the force of the bomb just fell in the middle of them.

"Aha!"

Before Charles could finish laughing, the earth bomb exploded with a "bang", almost no damage but extremely wide range and outstanding effect, the bomb explosion splashed the mud of the swamp in all directions, even Charles who was standing in the distance was affected, and the mud splashed all over his body, even on his face.

Charles wiped the mud off his eyes with his hand, and was about to scold, the crocodile had already pounced on him, Charles quickly turned his head and ran, Marcus laughed and said to Chen Zhuo: "Quick! Chen, prepare for the trap! ”

Enraged, the crocodile was running and parading through the swamp, and if Charles hadn't come ashore in time, he would have been overtaken.

"Marcus, you bastard! Come help me! ”

Charles ran while scolding Marcus, and quickly rushed past the pre-agreed location, as soon as the crocodile's hind feet arrived, Marcus and Chen Zhuo cut the rope tied on the stump with their swords, and a large net was picked up from the grass to catch the chasing crocodile.

"Ha, I didn't expect to be able to catch these crocodiles without fighting." Chen Zhuo said as he threw a beast knowledge up.

Infected crocodiles, Tier 1 normal amphibian beasts, 1 attack and 8 blood, increase attack damage by 1 point when the body touches water, and increase armor by 2 points when the feet touch the ground.

"Hey! Brother Marcus, isn't it time for us to settle the score! ”

Charles walked over to Marcus with a muddy body, and Marcus said with a forced smile: "Charles, you are too close, I thought that you would stand outside and throw it directly, who knew that you ran inside and threw it?" How can I be blamed for this...... Hey, don't put mud on me, ah! Naxi! Quick, change your clothes for this idiot! ”

Charles wiped the mud on Marcus, at this time the beast and his entourage came, they didn't expect to be able to net the crocodile without fighting, Naxi quickly took out new clothes and paper to wipe the mud for Charles, and Bonnie stood under the net and asked Chen Zhuo: "Master, what to do with these crocodiles?" ”

Chen Zhuo turned his head to look at Marcus, Marcus pushed Charles away, took out his musket, and said to Chen Zhuo: "Let's die, these infected crocodiles have too strong desire to attack, and since it is the task of the city lord, there is no need to keep them." ”

With that, Marcus fired several shots at the net, which suddenly stopped, and there was no sign of struggle. Just when Marcus put away the musket in his hand, the dead crocodile turned black, and Bonnie said to Chen Zhuo: "Master, look! When a crocodile dies, it will produce a warlock crop that will explode when it encounters gunpowder! ”

As soon as Bonnie's sweet voice fell, there was a "boom" in the net, and the air wave from the explosion knocked everyone to the ground, and only Bonnie, who had been prepared, held on to the tree and did not fall.

"Ahem! I said Bonnie, it's better to tell us about this kind of thing sooner later! ”

"Bonnie knows that, master!"

Riston and Goku ran back after the explosion, Marcus dusted off the dirt, he didn't expect the crocodile's corpse to explode, "Okay, let's tidy up and get ready to go inside and clean up the remaining crocodiles!" ”

"Good!"

(An unknown location)

"You're going out now?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"It is rumored that Nefarian has appeared, and the leaders are meeting in Theramore, not far from us, will you go out and die now? Sjirao? ”

Si Gillao shook his shoulders: "Someone has broken into my back garden, where I have placed a few of my babies, I'm going to see who is destroying them!" ”

"Is that important to you?"

"I'm sorry, Magatha, remember that young dragon we found? I've injected something into some crocodiles, and if the crocodiles can survive, these end products in them can allow us to control this baby dragon. Besides, isn't Grudiger back? With him by your side, you can run away even if Sal comes. ”

"Well, be careful, don't get discovered."

"Don't worry, only a warlock can sense my bone dragon!"

A bone dragon takes off from the Stonetalon Mountains and travels high into the air until it becomes a point. And Chen Zhuo and others are still hunting infected crocodiles without knowing it.

At dawn the next day, Bonnie snuggled in Chen Zhuo's arms, although Avril was also in the tent but there was a person from them, suddenly, Bonnie opened his eyes and sat up from Chen Zhuo's arms, this action woke Chen Zhuo, Chen Zhuo looked at the sky outside and asked, "Why Bonnie?" ”

"Master, there seems to be a bone dragon very close to us."

"Oh, bones...... What the? Bone Dragon!? ”
