Exploring the Swamp of the Wetlands is said to be a dangerous and hard work, and the experience of the Sloanians on the first day confirmed this suspicion. But the next day, after the battle between the swamp crocodiles and the gnolls, everything changed.

Sloane and Marcus didn't know how Ainan had managed to quickly probe what was going on, which saved them a lot of effort.

At first, everyone was suspicious that the speed of the march was not very fast, but after they spent a day confirming that there was not a single mistake in the marks made by Ainan on the map, the two squad leaders combined, and the team immediately marched towards the depths of the swamp at a speed several times faster than before.

The reason why it is dangerous and hard to find the road is because of the unknown road ahead, and you never know what danger awaits you in the next second. Now that Ainan has explored the way forward, the team only needs to follow the map to check the specific situation on the spot, and fill in the vague data, and the speed can't be slowed down.

Of course, this is not to say that Sloanan can walk boldly and boldly, and the big dangers can be avoided according to the signs on the map, but the small ones cannot.

It's like a monster like the Swamp Creeper, if you don't get in front of him, he's motionless, it's like mud, and once you get into his range, he'll burst into attack.

That's what happened to Marcus.

As he was on the way, he was pulled to the ground by several vines that suddenly burst out of the mud, and the rancid mud-covered vines wrapped around his legs, dragging him away into the distance.

"Enemy attack."

Sloanan shouted, and the first one rushed to Marcus's side, and the sword swished twice and cut off a vine, but there were too many vines, and only one could not save Marcus from danger.

Fortunately, the veterans in the team were not slow to react, and they divided three people to block the attack of the continuation vines, and the remaining seven people joined forces with Sloanan to quickly save Marcus.

At this time, I could see the difference between veterans and recruits, from the attack on Marcus to the escape, the veterans led by Sloane rescued people, and the recruits of Marcus's team came back to their senses and hurried to rescue their captain.

With this reaction speed, if you could expect them to be finished, Marcus would have been finished.

Ainan shook his head secretly, the gap between recruits and veterans is often not in martial arts, but in consciousness. The veterans are accustomed to the taste of war, and have long cultivated a sense of fighting, don't look at their usual carelessness, lazy and can't lift their spirits, in fact, they are more sensitive to the changes around them than anyone else. As soon as there was a stir, the recruits were still watching, and the veterans had already drawn their knives and fought desperately with the enemy.

Marcus's squad hasn't been honed enough, and they still have a long way to go to become elite.

"What are you doing in a panic, find your place, and besiege him in formation."

Attacked by the swamp creepers, and bothered Sloan to rescue him, Marcus was both angry at his own carelessness and angry at his subordinates' intransigence. However, although he was angry, he was not dizzy, the swamp crawler was not something he could deal with alone, and if he wanted to take out this monster that was not afraid of physical attacks and had no pain, he had to be patient and consume it little by little.

"I'm going to tear off the disgusting mud and the stinking rotten roots off of you."

Losing face, Marcus was furious, and he stood in the front row against the swamp creepers, drawing attacks along with Sloane.

The two captains are on the line, what else do the other soldiers say, the officers are the first to rush the little soldiers, so naturally they can't be coaxed. They didn't have the strength of Marcus and Sloan, and they couldn't resist head-on, so they had to go around the swamp creepers in groups of two or three.

The most terrifying thing about the Swamp Creeper is the suddenness of its first hit, as long as it survives this blow, the threat of the Swamp Creeper is reduced by half.

Two fully staffed human squads against a swamp creeper, as long as they don't make mistakes, as long as there are no other factors to interfere with, killing each other is not a problem at all.

The whole process of the battle was nothing exciting for Ainan - wasn't it just a vest, it was really nothing to see.

Well, the swamp creeper's body of mud and plant rhizomes was to Ainan the vest, the armor of the elemental core that drove it to action. After stripping off this waistcoat, there was only one elemental core left, and it couldn't even make a splash, and a human child could kick it around.

Marcus was much more clever this time, he grabbed the elemental core in his hand before Sloanan, and ran over a few steps to dedicate it to Ainan.

This kid learns pretty fast.

Sloan, who was a step slower, grinded his back teeth, and he realized what it was like for a church disciple to starve his master to death.

It's not a bad feeling to develop a competitor for yourself.

Ainan had taken the elemental core, and that was the advantage of being a commander - even if he didn't make a effort, the spoils of the battle belonged to him, and the others took it for granted.

"Set up camp here. Tarth, find someone to go back with you. ”

Throwing the map to Tars, Aynan gave the order to set up camp.

"Jazz didn't mean to give us ten days......"

Tas muttered suspiciously, but before he could finish his words, Marcus quietly pulled him and made him swallow the words back.

Sir Lothar gave them ten days to explore the way, which was true, but it didn't have to be ten days before they could return.

It's not bad that an ordinary pathfinder team can explore hundreds of miles in ten days, but because of the existence of Ainan, they have only been out for four days, and they have already explored three hundred miles, even if they stop and don't go, who can say that they are not?

This Tarth doesn't even have eyesight than me, and it won't be long before someone like him stays with Lord Ainam.

Marcus mourned for Tarth, which was supposed to be a good opportunity, but he seized it and soared into the sky, but some people didn't have enough brains and let the opportunity slip away.

Ainan waved his hand: "Go ahead." ”

"Yes."

Tas nodded in confusion, and casually beckoned a familiar soldier named Reginald, and the two walked together towards the way they came.

When the two of them walked away, Sloanan came up: "My lord, don't blame Tas, the young man hasn't gone through anything, he doesn't know how to measure, and he will naturally understand in the future." ”

Marcus scolded in his heart: What kind of good person did you come to pretend to be at this time, showing that you are broad-minded and experienced? Don't think I can't hear that you're taking the opportunity to knock me, don't you just rob you of a chance to perform, you're like this?

The two squad leaders made eye contact, and there seemed to be sparks flashing in the air, and sure enough, where there were people, there were rivers and lakes.
