Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Green Eyes of the Swamp
The Greeneye Swamp is located on the west side of the North Broken Sword Mountain Range, stretching for thousands of kilometers and is vast and boundless. The Greeneye Marsh was originally a forest, but the current swampy terrain was formed by the accumulation of fallen leaves over the years and the abundant precipitation caused by the proximity to the mountains.
Green-Eyed Swamp is named after a python that lives here, this python has a pair of green vertical eyes, the body is huge, can grow up to more than ten meters long, like to lie dormant in a moist and warm environment, Green-Eye Swamp is undoubtedly their paradise.
Yi Hui had already purchased information from the Black Oak Barrel a few months ago and learned that there were two locations that were more suitable for him to cultivate, one was the Black Forest he had visited, and the other was the Green-Eyed Swamp where Yi Hui was now.
As soon as Yi Hui set foot on this land, he knew why this place was suitable for thieves' cultivation. The Black Forest he had been to before was full of trees and vines, and if he wanted to walk freely in them, he couldn't walk freely without a good pace, and after that exercise, Yi Hui's accuracy and speed of landing had been greatly improved. This time he came to this green-eyed swamp, and as soon as he landed he knew the purpose of this place.
Muddy, waterlogged, difficult to walk. Yi Huiguang takes a lot of effort to take a step on the wet and muddy ground, and it is not the feeling of stepping on solid ground at all. The wet mud adhered to Yi Hui's leather boots, and the more he advanced, the more mud stuck to Yi Hui's feet, and after a while, Yi Hui was stuck to the pairs of mud and couldn't take a step.
Not only the weight, but also the mud tightly wrapped around his feet made Yi Hui's calves look very bloated, and one big and one small made it difficult for Yi Hui to grasp the center of gravity at all.
"Oh, hey, that old guy really didn't say it wrong, the two places introduced are a bit interesting, I guess if you get used to it here, you can't go back with a lot of lighter feet, right?" Yi Hui said as if laughing at himself.
Yi Hui insisted on letting himself walk towards the depths of the swamp, and as he continued to march, some details of the Green-Eyed Swamp were constantly marked on his magic map, and some of the originally vague terrain fog was like a veil that was lifted by Yi Hui little by little.
"No wonder Felder didn't go into this place seriously, purely to find guilt." Yi Hui walked for nearly half a day, and finally got tired and couldn't stand it and complained.
After a short rest, Yi Hui, who was extremely tired, resolutely continued to approach the depths of the Green-Eyed Swamp. He scraped the mud off his boots, and instead of struggling with the mud on the ground, he climbed up the high treetops and grabbed the vines and swung between the trees.
How else to say that people are trained here? There's nothing wrong with paying for the information. Walking in the mud can exercise Yi Hui's leg strength and mastery of the center of gravity of the body, and swinging in the middle of the trees can exercise his arm strength, body coordination and dexterity, these elements are very suitable for the physical fitness requirements of thieves.
Flipping through Argent's notes, there are also some records of some of the processes that Argent himself experienced in the Greeneye Swamp, and it turns out that Argent has also been here in this place.
However, Yi Hui is not only here to carry out his training subjects, if he is just training, he can fully meet the requirements in the periphery of the Green-Eye Swamp, and he does not need to continue to advance towards the depths of the swamp like him.
Training is only Yi Hui's first purpose when he comes here, enriching the magic map is his second purpose, and in addition, Yi Hui's ultimate purpose in coming to this swamp is to find a path through the Greeneye Swamp to open up a safe and fast direct passage between the Bolt Mining Area and the city of Grenoble in the future.
The Green-Eyed Swamp has several annoying features, the first of which is the mud and the foul-smelling stagnant water that exudes the fermentation of various humus, which is the characteristic of the swamp. The second is all kinds of poisonous insects and small creatures that lurk in stagnant water, such as wasps, locusts, small spiders and other small insects.
For mud and stagnant water, Yi Hui can get through it, and if he can't, he can get by, which is originally a part of his experience. Hornets and locusts are indeed a headache in the eyes of ordinary people, they are numerous and ubiquitous, and they are very annoying, but this problem is hardly a problem here in Yi Hui.
As long as Yi Hui opened the skill of "Poison Path" during his journey, those small insects and soft creatures would be completely poisoned to death in the green poisonous smoke after a while, and they would not be able to cause any adverse effects on Yi Hui at all.
Therefore, the insects and microorganisms in the places where Yi Hui passed were almost all the way dead, and Yi Hui, who had the magic cut, didn't have to think about the cost of mana at all, so it was easy to maintain the "poisonous path" like this. Not only did the small creatures die, but the shrubs and aquatic plants along the way also withered and withered more or less under the influence of the poison, which shows the perversion of the skill of "Toxic Path".
Yi Hui deeply experienced the benefits of this skill, and sighed in his heart: "It is worthy of being an alchemist's signature skill, it is really easy to use." ”
Yi Hui's trip to the swamp was carried out unhurriedly under the rhythm of his half-day mud and half-day treetops. The effect of the exercise is very significant, Yi Hui can intuitively see that the small red bar representing strength and the small green bar of agility in the personal surname column in the system have grown a lot.
"If you continue to exercise like this, you should be able to reach the physical fitness of a level 5 thief very quickly." Yi Hui grasped the vine and quickly swung from tree to tree, and he could see that the muscles of his arm had clearly shown lines like carving with a carving knife.
The arm muscles trained by the swing between the trees are not the same as those obtained by lifting dumbbells on the training ground, lifting dumbbells is more about improving the absolute strength of the arms, allowing people to lift heavier weapons and exert greater attack power, while jungle swinging is more focused on the improvement of people's explosive power, and it can also allow the trainer's whole body to be exercised, which is also of great help to the exercise of physical agility and coordination.
"Look, I'm already able to walk among the trees like Scott." Yi Hui couldn't find any other reference object, he had only seen a similar way of traveling in Scott, so he could only compare it with him.
"Looks like I'm already faster than Scott, haha, I've caught up with him." Looking at his significant improvement, Yi Hui couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, and he thought proudly.
Just as he was proud, Yi Hui swung to another tree, grabbed another vine, and Yi Hui was about to swing again.
"Well, why is this vine a little cold and slippery, so it's hard to catch." Yi Hui clung to the vine, but found that this vine was a little special and not so easy to grasp, and he was almost about to fall into the mud when his palm slipped, Yi Hui had to increase his wrist strength to try not to fall.
"No, it's not a vine!" Yi Hui fixed his eyes and saw that the thing he was holding in his hand was actually covered with layers of fine scales, which turned out to be a huge snake tail hanging down, "Snake! Yi Hui, who had been afraid of snakes since he was a child, was so frightened that he quickly let go. But the cold touch still gave him goosebumps in his heart.
Finally with the strength to twist his body, Yi Hui stood firm in the mud, and the snake tail on the top of his head that he had just pulled quickly retracted into the dense canopy and was difficult to find.
"There's a snake here, it's hard to do." Even though Yi Hui has a lot of skills now, and his physical fitness can barely be called a nearly fourth-level thief, but being afraid of snakes is his long-standing weakness, which Yi Hui can't help.
Suddenly, a large mouth with two rows of fine fangs appeared in front of Yi Hui's eyes, the size of a basin, and it came towards Yi Hui, a scarlet tongue swinging back and forth with a fork, followed by a fishy gust of wind.
Saying that it was too late, Yi Hui hurriedly used an extremely skillful "fraud magic" to dodge on the spot, and his big mouth only ate a puff of red smoke. Standing in the distance, Yi Hui saw that what attacked him was a big python as thick as a bucket, its long body twisted and coiled on the trunk, and the front half of its body shot straight like a spring, not attacking Yi Hui but planting it directly into the mud because of his habitual surname.
With one miss, the python got up quickly, and its long body stretched and shrank and pulled its head out of the mud. It waited for its little green eyes to look around, its scarlet tongue rattling and spitting, mud mixed with sewage flowing down its head, and the whole snake's head was covered with nodulous protrusions, which looked hideous, disgusting and terrifying.
At this time, Yi Hui had already entered a stealth state, squatting on the branch of another tree, observing the ridiculously big python: "Good girl, I know that Lao Tzu is afraid of snakes, and he still drills such a big guy, let's avoid the limelight first, Lao Tzu can't afford to provoke it, he can still hide." ”
The python was cross-legged, and its big head was looking around for Yi Hui's traces. After all, it was still Yi Hui's troops, originally this python was also lazily resting on the tree, who knew that Yi Hui grabbed its tail when it was swinging in the woods, and woke it up in pain, so he launched an attack on Yi Hui.
On the branch, Yi Hui has entered the passive state of "invisible wings", ready to wait for the next "deception magic" to cool down before escaping this place, away from this disgusting and terrifying cold-blooded reptile.
Who knows, when the python's head turned to the direction of the branch where Yi Hui was, it stopped swaying, and after a few seconds, the python pounced towards Yi Hui with its mouth open like a spring.
"What the hell is going on?" Yi Hui, who was embarrassed to dodge and fall from the branch, was very puzzled by the fact that the python found himself. "This python, is it invisible?"
