Chapter 169: The Big Ship in the Wetlands

So Wen Long and his entourage walked cautiously on the path surrounded by the poisonous swamp, on the one hand, they had to be careful about the poisonous swamp under their feet, and on the other hand, they had to pay attention to avoiding the shield crabs that were rampant in the poisonous swamp.

However, although the three of them were careful to pay attention to the situation under their feet, they would inevitably inhale some poisonous mist into their bodies.

Soon, the petite Begonia Nine showed symptoms of mild poisoning.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem......" Begonia coughed softly.

"Ah, does Little Begonia feel uncomfortable?" Catherine asked with concern.

"No, Begonia is fine......" Begonia said.

"The little girl still likes to be strong so much, meow." Wen Long also noticed that Begonia's face was a little pale, obviously affected by the poisonous fog, "Since you feel uncomfortable, hurry up and take the antidote, anyway, when you were in the camp before, everyone received two bottles, no need to save, meow." ”

"Well, okay, Begonia got it."

According to Wenlong's instructions, Haitang opened a bottle of antidote, and then drank it, and his face was temporarily much better.

"However, the effect of these antidotes can only last for a while, and if you don't pay attention, you will still be poisoned...... Meow. ”

Thinking like this, Wen Long carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that as the poison swamp in the vicinity became denser and denser, and as time passed, the sun also began to rise, which caused the temperature around to rise, and more and more poisonous mist began to evaporate from the poison swamp.

"Now, woman, you can pick up the begonia on this journey, meow." Wenlong said.

"No, no. Begonias can walk on their own. "I heard that Catherine was going to pick herself up. Haitang immediately excused himself.

"Huh? Mr. Cat? Did Begonia's foot hurt too? Catherine asked.

"Of course not. It's just that these poisonous fogs are still a little heavier than ordinary air, and although they have been evaporated, most of them have been kept at a relatively low position and precipitated. And the little girl's stature is relatively short, and it is easier to breathe poisonous mist, coupled with her young age, her respiratory system is still very immature, so she is naturally easy to be poisoned. Stupid woman, you pick up the little girl. The air she breathes is fresher, meow. Wen Long explained to Catherine.

"Ah, I see." Catherine nodded, and then picked up the begonia without hesitation.

"Thank you...... Sister Catherine. Begonia said.

"You're welcome, the little begonia is so light, you can pick it up casually." Catherine also said with a smile, completely at ease.

And Wen Long also climbed up from behind Catherine, and then lay on Catherine's shoulder.

"Just keep going according to the map, and then turn right after encountering the next poison swamp, and you should be able to leave this area......" Wen Long, who climbed onto Catherine's shoulder, said as he looked at the map. Get out of here, meow! ”

"Okay!"

Even if it's holding a begonia. With Wenlong on her shoulders, Catherine still looked relaxed, and walked briskly forward.

It didn't take long for the surrounding poisonous fog to gradually become scarce, which proved that the surrounding poisonous swamp was decreasing, and after a while, the normal forest could finally be seen.

"Hey!"

Catherine jumped hard, and finally left the last swamp and jumped into a clearing.

"Okay, Mr. Cat, Little Begonia, it should be safe here, right?"

"Hmm......" Wen Long nodded and said, "From here, it should be close to the heart of the Cumber Wetlands, and according to the records on the quest scroll, the Peach-haired Beastmaster should be around here, Meow." ”

Through Catherine's shoulder, Wen Long looked around, but found no trace of the Peach-haired Beastmaster.

"Meow, don't talk about the peach beast, there is not even a peach beast hair, it seems that it can only continue to move forward into the depths of the Cumbell wetland, meow." So Wenlong instructed.

Because they had escaped from the dense area of the poisonous swamp, Wenlong and Begonia also got off Catherine, and the three of them continued to walk.

Along the way, the trees on both sides of the road grow crookedly, and many of them show a withered posture, which seems to indicate the ecological anomaly in the vicinity.

"Mr. Cat, Sister Catherine, there seems to be something over there."

After walking for a while, Begonia seemed to have found something, and pointed to a black object in the distance and said.

"What the hell is that, Meow?" Wenlong also looked in the direction pointed by the begonia, and what he could see was just a black object, a bit like a small mountain, but on closer inspection, it seemed to have traces of artificiality.

"The view here is not good, there are trees blocking it, let's go ahead and have a look, meow."

The three of them began to quicken their pace, and soon, the full view of the huge black object was finally revealed to everyone.

It turned out to be a large ship, the kind of ship that should be large enough to accommodate hundreds of people, with a high mast, but the sails on it were gone.

As for the pitch-black color, it is obvious that it is not the color of the ship itself, but because of the wind and rain all the year round, the wooden surface has been blackened and rotted, although the overall frame of the ship is still there, but even from the surface it can be seen that the ship is basically dilapidated.

"Hey, Mr. Cat, how can there be a boat here? It's a swamp around here! Catherine exclaimed.

"It's not surprising, a lot of the swamps were formed by the drying up of previous rivers or lakes, so there used to be a big lake around here, meow!" Wenlong said.

"Eh, is it a big lake? So this means that the ship was moored on the lake before? It's really Mr. Cat, you can see it......" Catherine said with a sudden realization.

"Well, actually, I made up all that nonsense...... I don't know what the real situation is. Wen Long shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Ah, Mr. Cat, you lied to me again."

At this time, Begonia also said: "Begonia thinks that such a big ship looks like a big ship parked in the harbor of Mejerportan...... Probably this kind of ship should have been in the sea. ”

"Does Begonia think this ship is in the sea? So it seems that this is true...... Although the sails of this ship are gone, the thick and high mast does not look like that of a ship that can sail in a lake or river...... It's just that the nearest sea near here seems to be dozens of kilometers away, so how can it be here, meow? Wen Long said with some doubts. (To be continued......)
