55 The End of the Wetlands

When He Luo woke up from his memories, the cold of the early morning made him shiver. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Monkey King, Mendes is a thing of the past, and all he has to do now is to lead his companions through this terrifying Carraton wetlands.

When Dean Lux told the freshmen that the doors of the War College would be open for them for a year, He Luo had no idea. How far is the War College from Demacia? After all, on the map, the War College is only separated by a Carraton wetland from Demacia.

But when He Luo walked into the Carraton wetlands, when he stepped onto this green-looking grassland, he finally knew what this distance meant.

It's been almost two months since I entered the Carraton wetlands, and the rain has been falling for almost half a month, and the sky in Valoran seems to be leaking.

The occasional tall tree in the wetlands props up the clouds in the distance. The clouds are dark grey, making the sky appear low-pressing. The raindrops crackled and fell on the tents and on the wet ground, making it a disturbing mess. Except for a little light faintly shining in the sky, otherwise He Luo couldn't tell whether it was day or night.

The campfire had long since been extinguished, and the ashes of the furnace mixed with the rain had turned into a complete mass of ink clay. Alex and the others also came out of their tents sleepily, and only Big, the little man he had brought out of the tavern in Forby Town, had already started to get busy.

He lit a new fire, and the tantalizing aroma began to emerge from the pot of soup that was boiling on the fire.

"He Luo." Gawain stepped out of the tent. He was originally a little wooden, but his face was more dignified at the moment.

"We don't have much food, and we guess tomorrow, if we don't get any more harvest, we'll be hungry."

"Tomorrow......" He Luo glanced at the gray sky again and took a deep breath, "I'll think of something with Bigg, I hope we have a little luck." ”

The horror of the Carraton wetlands isn't limited to the swamps that can swallow people at any moment, the man-eating lizards hiding in the bushes, or the giant snake that can swallow an antelope in one gulp, with eyes bigger than torches.

Hunger and travel, that's where the deadliest thing about the Carraton wetlands.

The larger animals were no longer seen within two weeks of entering the wetlands. The damp and winding road drained the adventurers' physical strength, and at night they were often hungry, but according to Gawain, maybe by tomorrow, not even a mouthful of broth might be gone.

And if it weren't for Bigg, He Luo believed that they wouldn't have lasted even a week. How many times when Alex stepped on the edge of the swamp and was brought back by Bigra. And how many days did they rely on a fern that Bigg found to satisfy their hunger, and this fern rarely tasted like meat after boiling it in hot water.

"Don't worry about the food." Bigg waved his hand and beckoned everyone to get some broth, "I think the rain seems to be a little lighter." Maybe tomorrow will be a sunny day. In the wetlands, animals come out on a sunny day. As long as he threw his dagger accurately, it would be fine. ”

Gao Wenleng paused for a moment, then smiled. Alex couldn't help but smile and look at Yan.

Yan was still the same indifferent appearance, he took a sip of hot soup, and didn't care about the way Bigg complained about his eyes.

It had been two days before a clumsy bird fluttered over the swamp. Yan swore that he pulled out his dagger, ready to show off his skills as an assassin. But when his dagger burst out of the air, it was preempted by a crocodile. The crocodile bit the stupid bird in mid-air before the dagger could arrive, and then rolled over and dived into the shallow water at the edge of the swamp.

That scene made everyone feel funny, especially when Yan's expression finally changed, and he who had always been arrogant became frustrated because he was preempted by the crocodile, which became a joke in the team.

When everyone had finished drinking the hot soup, the small tent was packed into luggage that could be carried. Everyone wore blue and white capes over their heads, and raindrops fell down the brim of their hats, casting a fog over everyone's eyes. But they are on their way forward.

The group grew small again, their footprints zigzag through the wetland. Bigg has told everyone that adventurers of the past will leave their footprints in the wetlands. However, there were few adventurers who passed through the wetlands in the past, and many of them had already fallen in the wetlands themselves, so the stone markings that could be found were debatable.

Bigg grew up on the edge of the wetlands, and the inhabitants of Forby Town have passed through the wetlands several times, leaving their unique stone imprints to the residents. When you see the black stone carved with a deep triangle symbol, it's a safe pass through the wetlands.

But it was not easy to find a black stone like that. Once, I went around the wetland for three days because I didn't find the black stone.

"Hey, I found it!" Bigg suddenly cried out with joy, and while the drizzle was still falling, he held his hand high and held a black stone in his hand.

"That direction!"

Bigg thought for a while before he could make out the direction in the white mist that grew up in the wetland.

It seemed that Bigg's voice was too loud, and suddenly a bird pierced through the white fog and flapped its wings to fly ahead.

"Good luck! Alex, it's up to you, shoot it down! He Luo shouted to Alex with a smile, still glancing at Yan's fiery red hair that the brim of his hat couldn't suppress.

"Let me do it. I'm going to chase it! ”

Yan's voice came coldly from under the brim of his hat.

Then Alex was still stunned, and Yan's back had disappeared into the white mist in front of him.

How many pieces can a bird fly on this rainy day?

The question was quickly answered, and it took Yan only two breaths for him to see the bird fluttering before his eyes. And this time, the secret dagger that shone with a dark golden light appeared in Yan's palm. He raised his hand slightly, and the dagger, which could only be used for direct stabs, threw out an arc.

Crash.

The dagger easily slashed at the bird's back, and the pained bird fell to the ground before it even had time to scream. Yan walked over and gently picked up his dagger.

But Yan didn't pay attention to the rather huge bird, he just fumbled in his arms for a long time, and pulled out some strange metal parts. Then it took him a short moment before a golden robotic bird appeared in his hand.

Yan carefully shoved a piece of parchment into the robot bird's slot. Then he looked up at the still gray sky overhead.

Yan let go of his hand, and the golden bird quickly flew towards the distance of the sky. Piltover's technology began to soar over the Carraton wetlands, squinting for a while, until the little bird flew away, then put away the dagger, quickly turned around and ran in the direction of He Luo and the others.

"Yan ...... I saw a bird fly away just now, won't ......" He Luo looked at Yan's expressionless face and asked a little hesitantly.

"Escaped. I didn't catch it again. Yan threw down a sentence and shattered everyone's dream of lunch.

"You guy......" Gawain was also a little dissatisfied, "too arrogant." If Alex had done it, how could he have escaped? ”

Yan didn't make a sound, just glanced at Gawain, and didn't answer his dissatisfaction.

"I hate this kind of arrogant and disobedient guy the most," Gawain waved his fist, "You really don't have a beating!" ”

This is the first time that there have been contradictory voices in the team around He Luo. Honest Gao Wen and indifferent Yan, these two people should not have any contradictions.

"It's all gone, so it's up to luck." Alex came out at this time, "I can't tell if I'm lucky, we'll find new food." ”

Zero looked at everyone coldly and didn't say a word.

"Stop arguing, look!"

Big's voice suddenly came from the front.

He Luo realized that Big, who was holding the stone, had unconsciously climbed to a small slope not far ahead.

A faint mist still shrouded the ground, but standing on the slope, the eye could see through the fog and see farther away.

At the junction of heaven and earth, at the very edge of the cloud, there seemed to be a silver light. And the Phnom Penh of the sun, illuminates some of the scenes of this world.

A massive fence almost as high as the sky encloses the extension of the Carraton wetlands like rolling mountains. And above the wall, towering transparent crystals stand like lighthouses and arrow towers, like the cavalry spears of soldiers on the battlefield.

Everyone fell silent in the drizzle. Not far away, there was a wrist-thick python sculpture class under the ground that watched for a moment, and then silently rowed away. In the distance, there seemed to be another animal running through the bushes, and a few birds were awakened and swirled in the drizzle in mid-air.

But at this time, no one cared about these animals that could become food. Everyone stared at the blurred shadow like a sand painting in the farthest part of the world, and muttered a sigh in their mouths.

"Tiamat War College, we saw it."
